Si Jin was still showing off her manicure in all directions, "Look, look, this sparkling one is called 'cat's eye', and the one the owner made for me is 'dragon's eye', with a circle of black lines in the pupil, which is clearly my eye. The nail polish she used has star fragments and rainbow light, which is why it is so radiant and colorful, more beautiful than my treasure house. And this little dragon, it looks like you were squatting there and wagging your tail just now..."
The veins on Harold's forehead popped out, and he swung his paw over. The "dragon's eye" that Si Jin had just boasted about, "click", cracked, and then the whole piece shattered into powder, which was blown up by the wind and scattered in the air.
Si Jin covered his paw with a face full of pain, and was almost angry. "Harold, you are too much!"
Harold turned his head and snorted softly, and swung his tail to hit Si Jin again, with the tip of the tail hitting his fingers.
"Ka--" The "dragon eye" on Si Jin's thumb also turned into smoke and dust, and flew away with the wind.
Harold was still not satisfied, and continued to swing his tail to attack Si Jin's other hand.
The nails on that finger were shining, and the target was more obvious.
Manicure? What the hell!
Si Jin was often unpunctual, and today because of this broken manicure, he made a dragon wait in the wilderness for an afternoon, which was unforgivable.
What starlight, rainbow light, didn't it turn into dust and dust after he swung it.
The manicure was broken by the dragon's tail, and Si Jin dared not change into dragon form. In that case, Harold would not have to interfere, as his own strength would destroy the nail polish layer on his nails. He could only use his human form to resist Harold's attack.
The dragon form is the most comfortable and powerful form for a dragon
to fight. A dragon in human form cannot resist the attack of a dragon in dragon form. However, dragons are naturally strong, unlike fragile humans. Even if they are thrown around by their own kind, they are still very uncomfortable and can only be described as a bit of a wolf.
But his nails couldn't bear it. In just a few breaths, most of Si Jin's manicure, which was less than half a day's work, was violently removed by Harold, leaving only three nails with dragons painted on them.
Si Jinlong's eyes turned red, and he was about to cry with anger. He didn't want to pay attention to Harold anymore: "I won't fight with you. I'm going to find the owner to get my nails done."
Si Jin ran away, but he didn't dare to turn into a dragon, so he ran very slowly.
Harold turned into a human and chased him, his voice cold: "Just right, I'm going to destroy that store."
In the nail salon.
Pharmacist Li Xiu was obsessed with looking through the nail art style pictures. Every style made people unable to look away. She had never thought that nails could have so many styles.
Lu Yao didn't urge her, and lowered his head to continue reading the magic theory book.
Dusk was gradually falling outside the door. Li Xiu turned to the latest style, a pair of slender and beautiful hands, one with blue and gold cat eyes, and the other with a dragon pattern and majestic dragon eyes.
The people of Alexandria have a natural fear of dragons. In their eyes, dragons are powerful, tyrannical, evil, and unbeatable.
But the little dragon painted on the nails by the shop owner is so cute. Lixiu has never seen such a lovely dragon. She pointed at the photo and asked, "When was this made?" Lu Yao
looked up and asked, "Before you came."
Lixiu thought of the first man who entered the nail salon. She compared his overly handsome face with the nails. It turned out that he had a manicure in the store.
Lixiu put down the tablet and felt a little embarrassed.
She was just curious about the "manicure service" at first. She sat in the store for half a day. The owner not only generously let her visit, but also did not rush her at all. It seemed that she would feel guilty if she didn't get a manicure.
In fact, there are methods of dyeing nails that are circulated among witches, but there are very few styles, basically solid colors, and there are only two choices: red or black.
The raw material used for dyeing nails is a plant called mist wood, which is highly toxic. It requires great care when using it, is time-consuming and laborious, and the color will fade within three days.
After Lixiu became a pharmacist, she has not dyed her nails again.
She suddenly had a strong urge to try this manicure.
In addition to feeling embarrassed about the owner's enthusiasm, the bigger reason was that she was attracted by these overly beautiful manicures, and she felt very happy just by looking at them.
She imagined that after she finished her nails, she would go back to study new potions, just like changing into a favorite new dress, full of expectations.
Lixiu looked up at Lu Yao: "Shopkeeper, I want to do a manicure."
Lu Yao put down the book and said in a gentle manner: "Okay, do you have a style you like?"
Lixiu pointed to a picture: "I like this one."
Lu Yao nodded, "Blush nails, it suits you very well."
"Blush?" Lixiu was puzzled.
Lu Yao explained: "The style you chose has a color that spreads from the center of the nail surface to the periphery, from dark to light, like the blush on the cheeks of women when they put on makeup. Someone gave it a name - blush nails."
Lixiu found it interesting, "I see, I want to do this 'blush nails'."
Lu Yao brought a tool box and trimmed Lixiu's nails first.
Lixiu noticed the magic book she put aside, "Is the shop owner learning magic by herself?"
There are special magic schools and knight academies in Alexandria to train special talents, but Emerald Town is far away, and it takes a day and a night to get to the nearest city, Onoton, so you don't usually see students from magic schools and knight academies.
Lu Yao looks very young, but she is definitely over the age limit for magic schools to recruit students. She is reading an elementary magic book, so Lixiu thinks she is learning by herself.
However, books are also very precious in Alexandria, and magic books are even more so. Even the most basic magic book is very expensive, and Lixiu is more curious about Lu Yao's identity.
Lu Yao had already polished Lixiu's nails, and selected the nail polish he was going to use from the drawer, nodding as he said, "Just take a look when you have nothing to do."
Lixiu felt relieved to hear her say that.
In her opinion, the owner had long passed the best time to learn magic, and he was self-taught, so he had too high expectations for learning magic, and the result would definitely be unsatisfactory.
If you just take a look and regard it as a way to gain knowledge, you won't have to worry about these things.
Lu Yao didn't know what Lixiu was thinking, and he started working with concentration.
Compared to some manicures with complex designs, blush nails are relatively simple styles, but they also have difficulties - if the color smudges are not well grasped, it will look dull and unnatural, and it will look completely dull and tacky, without that light and fairy-like cute feeling.
Lu Yao has done too many manicures, so he is very good at doing blush nails.
The peach-colored smudge is as natural as gauze spreading out in the wind, becoming increasingly thinner until only a layer of light milky orange remains at the edge, which is both cute and milky.
However, after looking at it for a while, she felt it was a bit monotonous, so she added some details, alternating between pure white and matte blue French nails.
Lixiu's eyes widened slightly, revealing surprise.
At first, she thought the nude color smudge was beautiful enough, but the owner asked her if she wanted to add some details.
She was embarrassed to refuse, but she was actually a little worried that the owner would take the opportunity to increase the price.
The prices were marked on the style pictures. The cheapest nail care service was 88 copper coins, and the blush nails she chose cost 188 copper coins.
In Emerald Town, this price is very expensive, just for nails, I'm afraid many people find it difficult to understand.
But when the shopkeeper used a small transparent stamp to apply white and matte blue nail polish respectively, and pinched her finger into the stamp, a thin ribbon of lace appeared on the edge of the nail, and the exquisiteness instantly increased.
Li Xiu suddenly felt that the shopkeeper was right. It was indeed a bit monotonous before. "How much?" Lu
Yao: "One hundred and eighty-eight copper coins."
Li Xiu was surprised, "No extra money?" Lu Yao
shook his head: "Simple little details, no need."
Li Xiu felt better and took out two silver coins and handed them over.
Lu Yao asked embarrassedly: "Do you have change? I can't change it."
She opened the drawer and there were two gold coins lying inside.
Li Xiu handed over a silver coin, took out the purse and counted the copper coins one by one.
At this moment, the door of the shop was suddenly pushed open, and Si Jin ran in in panic. When he saw other customers, he paused, his expression froze, and his steps and manners became elegant.
Harold came in behind Si Jin, and was surprised to see Lu Yao and Li Xiu. It turned out that this was a shop run by humans. After
Li Xiu paid the bill, she secretly glanced at Si Jin and Harold. The aura of these two people was too terrifying.
She walked to the door and looked back. The blond young man had already sat down opposite Lu Yao. The owner didn't seem to realize how scary they were. Li Xiu shook her head and left in a hurry.
Lu Yao was the only human left in the store. Si Jin immediately raised his paw and said aggrievedly, "Shopkeeper, the manicure is broken. Can it be repaired?"
Lu Yao was silent for five seconds when he saw the hands that were cleaner than nail polish remover. "It's only been half a day, how come it's like this?"
Si Jin glanced at Harold who was sitting next to him and said unhappily, "It was broken in a fight."
The boy with long black hair tied into a high ponytail was wearing a black uniform, with deep blue eyes and a somewhat childish look. Although he had long hair, his violent aura would never let people mistake him for a girl.
"Blame me? It's obviously your fault that the broken nails you made were of poor quality. Even nail polish dyed with matte wood doesn't fade so easily." Harold retorted, and picked up a sour plum candy from the plate, ready to start by finding faults and torturing the owner.
After Si Jin left, he would destroy the store.
He raised his hand to throw the candy into his mouth, but Lu Yao held his hand, took the candy, and gestured: "This is packaged, you can only eat it after tearing it."
Harold's ears turned red, and he reached out to grab the candy back. Even though he was embarrassed, he was still aggressive: "I know!"
However, Lu Yao ate the candy first and said casually: "If you want to eat it, peel it yourself."
"..." Harold's fingers slowly tightened, clenched into a fist and clucked. This human is more annoying than Si Jin!
Lu Yao turned to look at Si Jin's hands. Except for the three fingers with dragons painted on them, the rest were cleanly removed. "You can do it again. Do you still want the previous style?"
Si Jin nodded. He didn't want that one enough. It
was getting dark outside the window. Fortunately, Lu Yao didn't have any other appointments today, so he started to do Si Jin's nails again.
No need to trace, it will be faster than before.
Harold sat next to Si Jin. From the moment Lu Yao took out the nail polish, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
The things in those small bottles flowed and flashed colorfully. Was that the nail polish that Si Jin mentioned with stars and rainbow lights?
So shiny and beautiful!
After making the cat's eye effect, Lu Yao stood up and brought the box of diamonds and sequins. He used tweezers to pick up the small diamonds and stick them on Si Jin's nails.
Harold's eyes lit up again when he saw those little things, all sparkling, he liked them!
Si Jin secretly observed Harold's expression, took the opportunity to let Lu Yao pass the tablet to him, and stuffed it into Harold's hand, "These are all styles made by the store owner, take a look and see if you like them, the store owner's craftsmanship is superb."
Harold raised his head with disdain, "It's so funny, who wants to see it? I don't like these!"
