Chapter 33 The Second Store



Lu Yao opened the window to ventilate the room.

Today's Shaking Light City is sunny and the weather is excellent.

Standing at the window and enjoying the breeze, Lu Yao turned around and neatly put the twenty ordinary sanding strips that he had urgently bought at the supermarket last night into the drawer before preparing to open the door.

He opened the door of the nail salon and was about to hang up the business sign when he felt several hot gazes from all around. Lu Yao looked up and saw a boy with a high ponytail standing at the door with his arms crossed. He lowered his eyes and saw a basket of shiny gold coins and jewelry at his feet.

...What is he doing?

Although you are a dragon, you are too ostentatious.

Don't show off your wealth, do you understand? Lu Yao

glanced at the shops nearby. The proprietress of the fruit shop on the left was staring at the jewelry on the ground. The owner of the meat stall next door had a hard time looking away and occasionally glanced sideways. The owners and customers of the bakery and flower shop opposite were all looking at this place silently.

Harold heard the door open, turned his head sideways, and his eyebrows twisted into an undulating mountain range. He complained impatiently: "Why is the door opening so slowly?"

As he spoke, he picked up the basket of dazzling treasures with one hand, and a gorgeous pearl and ruby ​​necklace slipped out of the frame. Seeing that it was about to fall to the ground, Harold hooked his toes and gently lifted it up, and the necklace fell steadily into the frame.

As if he had sensed something, before entering the store, Harold turned his head and scanned the streets. His dragon aura was exposed, and the people who were secretly spying felt their scalps tingling, and dared not look at him any more.

Humans dared to covet the dragon's treasures, overestimating their own abilities!

After entering the store, Harold walked to the seat where Si Jin had sat yesterday, placed the treasures at his feet, raised his chin and said proudly: "I want to do a manicure, and I want the most expensive one!"

The little black dragon went back last night and rolled around in the pile of treasures. He couldn't sleep at all, and his mind was full of manicures.

On the way back, Si Jin kept showing off to him.

What's so great about it? He also wants to do it, and he wants to do it more glittering and beautiful than Si Jin's!

Little Black Dragon had seldom come into contact with humans before. He subconsciously thought that the more expensive something was, the more hidden it would be. He didn't know how much money he should bring, so he just filled a basket with it.

Every dragon has its own cave or mountain where it hides treasures. Little Black Dragon's cave is in the Black Mountain Wasteland. It is piled all over the ground and usually rolls around.

This time, he thought the treasure box was too small, so he just got a basket.

Lu Yao handed the tablet over and sighed slightly. Dragons are indeed rich. They carry treasures when they do manicures. "What style do you like?"

While Little Black Dragon was choosing a style, she immediately tapped the system and spent 5,000 popularity points to reinforce the star gate.

She didn't know how many people saw Harold carrying treasures into the store. They didn't know he was a dragon. Whether anyone had bad intentions or not, she had to be prepared in advance.

Harold quickly flipped through the styles he hadn't finished looking at yesterday, pointing at a few pictures, "I want this, this, this, and this!"

Before he even started, Lu Yao felt that this guy was very troublesome.

He selected more than ten styles, and in each style he only liked the design of one nail, always the most gorgeous and exaggerated style in that style, which can be called the center of the nail art.

He wants all ten fingers to be the center.

This little black dragon is even greedier than the little golden dragon.

Lu Yao tried to explain the concept of primary and secondary design. Even for nail art, it has to complement each other to be beautiful.

After listening to it, the little black dragon hesitated for a while and gave in: "I want it to be shinier than Si Jin's, and I want a lot of gems."

This request was much simpler and clearer. Lu Yao nodded while choosing the nail polish he wanted to use.

The little black dragon stretched out its claws contentedly, finally it could do a manicure.

Pharmacist Lixiu got up early, today was the day to go to the city.

She lives in a small town, and most of the herbs she usually uses can be picked nearby and processed by herself. But there are some precious herbs with demanding growing conditions that cannot be picked in Emerald Town, and there is no supply, so she can only go to the city to buy them.

At the end of every month, she goes to the city of Onorton to buy rare herbs and sell some high-end potions.

When Lixiu changed her clothes, she put her arms through the sleeves, with the cuffs resting on the back of her hands, and her pink fingertips were half covered and half exposed.

She couldn't help but raise her hand and look for a while. The sun was shining outside the window, and her mood suddenly became very good.

Lixiu is usually busy making medicines, and she doesn't have high demands on life. She always chooses the most efficient way to go out. She returns immediately after finishing her work and doesn't dress up deliberately. When she saw the tender pink on her nails just now, she suddenly felt a little fresh.

She took off the half-worn turmeric top and took out a half-new floral dress from the closet.

Since she is going to the city, it doesn't matter if she dresses up a little.

Before leaving, Lixiu checked the shopping list, counted the medicines to be taken to the city, made sure there were no problems, and went out with breakfast.

There are shops in the town that rent carriages and horses. Because she needs to bring back herbs, she usually rents a carriage and hires a guard to escort her.

It takes three days to go back and forth to complete the work. There is no teleportation array in Emerald Town, so she can't use the teleportation scroll, so traveling is always inconvenient. However, Lixiu likes the peaceful life here. There are many commonly used herbs growing in the surrounding mountains, which she likes more than the convenient transportation.

Lixiu paid for the carriage and guards. In the past, she would sit in the carriage and read books, and the guards would drive the carriage to take her directly to Onoton City. Today, she was in a good mood. She did not sit in the carriage, but sat in the carriage with the female knight Elvy, chatting as they went into the city.

Elvy is the most powerful knight in Emerald Town. Lixiu would ask Elvy for guard every time she went to the city, and the two were quite familiar with each other.

After leaving Emerald Town, Elvy was a little absent-minded, and she turned her head from time to time to glance at Lixiu.

Lixiu felt it and felt a little uneasy. After hesitating for a long time, when Elvy looked at her again, she couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Elvy hesitated for a while before saying, "I heard someone said you went to that nail salon yesterday."

Lixiu breathed a sigh of relief. She thought there was something wrong with her and admitted generously, "Yes, I went to the nail salon."

Elvy's eyes showed curiosity, "What exactly is that shop? I heard that the shop appeared out of thin air and the owner is a very powerful witch?"

There are many rumors about nail salons in the town. Almost everyone has heard several different versions, but unfortunately there is no actual content.

Yesterday, someone said that two strange and scary men and Lixiu from the pharmacy entered the shop, and there is no more to say.

Elvy was drinking outside and overheard it. She happened to receive a job from Lixiu in the morning and wanted to inquire about it.

Lixiu found it funny to hear that, but she also understood Elvy.

Before going to the nail salon, she was also crazy curious and scared.

Lixiu raised her hand, showing her fingers, and explained with a smile: "That shop mainly provides nail beauty. The owner is not a witch, she is a very nice person. I just went to the shop to get a manicure."

Elvy stopped the carriage and took Lixiu's hand to see that there was no trace of magic, it was indeed just dyed nails.

However... this color is very rare, and the way of dyeing nails is also different from usual.

Lixiu's hands are slender, white and small. She wears a long dress with floral patterns, and with these inexplicably soft nails, she is simply adorable.

"Can I do it too?" Elvy blurted out without much thought.

She is a knight and usually carries a sword. She realized what she said and felt a little annoyed. "Forget it, I'm just a little curious." It's

too strange for a knight to dye his nails, right?

Lixiu was surprised: "You like it too? Don't worry at all. The owner has many styles and pictures. There must be a style you like."

Elvy was still a little awkward. Lixiu told her about Si Jin and Harold.

Hearing that men all ask Lu Yao to dye their nails, Elvy's curiosity reached its peak again.

When she comes back from Onorton City, she will go to the nail salon!

In the nail salon.

Lu Yao is "fighting" with Harold. His nails have been polished, base oil and base color have been applied, but he is stuck on the details.

Harold took out a bunch of gems and threw them on the table, letting Lu Yao decorate his claws. Lu

Yao looked at the pile of rubies, emeralds, amethysts, and Kyanite fell silent. The smallest gem was bigger than his palm, and it was so heavy that it fell in his hand. She had no idea what was going on in Long's mind.

Harold stretched out a finger and pushed her: "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Yao's eyes were full of helplessness, and she decided to explain to him one last time: "Harold, look, these gems are bigger than your hands, and you can't decorate them on your nails."

Harold stared at her with his dark blue eyes: "I want to make a manicure that is more beautiful than Si Jin, so I have to use these gems."

Lu Yao: "..."

Looks quite smart, but this child is stubborn.

"There is only one way," Lu Yao sighed, reaching out to pick up a blood-red gem, "break it into small pieces and stick it on your nails."

Harold snatched the gem back and held it in his arms, "No."

Dragons are the most greedy creatures, how could they destroy their own treasures?

Lu Yao: "...Then I can only help you stick them on your nails unless you can make them smaller."

Harold blinked, raised his hand and drew a magic circle towards the pile of gems. The magic circle was suspended in the air and expanded outward. The black light in the circle gradually enveloped the gems, and the pile of gems shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is that so?" Harold asked.

Is this magic?

This is too fun.

Lu Yao carefully picked up a ruby ​​that had shrunk. The rice-sized stone shone with a seductive light like concentrated blood, but it was still too heavy to fall off.

The size had shrunk, but the weight had not changed. Ordinary glue should not be able to stick it on, right?

[Spend 100,000 popularity points to exchange for a set of magic gem glue for dragons. Do you want to exchange it?]

Lu Yao: "...Exchange."

Half an hour later, Lu Yao was exhausted and panting. She finally completed all of Harold's requirements.

The stones were too heavy to be lifted or pushed with tweezers. She could only put them on Harold's nails with her bare hands and then carefully adjust them. It was super tiring.

I heard from the system that Harold is a little black dragon. He seems to love black very much. He chose a black and silver base color and added various gems.

Lu Yao made a black gradient from the root of the nail to the fingertip, from light to dark, layer by layer, and used silver cat eye nail polish on the fingertip to create a starry sky effect.

Each finger is dotted with gems of different sizes and colors. The whole hand looks like a jewelry box, shining so brightly that it is hard to take your eyes off.

The gems seem to be randomly attached, but Lu Yao has spent a lot of time on color matching and designing the composition. This pair of nails looks like jewels and is extremely gorgeous, but it is not tacky at all when you look closely, but very high-end.

Probably because they used real gems, the stones were even more sparkly after being shrunk.

Lu Yao couldn't let go of them. He held Harold's hand and looked at them for a long time, then took out his phone and took pictures frantically. Harold was naturally proud. He raised his hand and shook it repeatedly, just to see the different light reflected from the gems from different angles. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

He was really a genius. He actually thought of using gems to decorate nails, which were sparklers than those small things used by the owner.

The door of the store was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Si Jin walked in. He was not surprised to see Harold: "I've been waiting for you in the Black Mountain Wasteland for a whole morning."
