Xiao Yuhan pointed to the fabrics in front of him, "This, this, and that, take them all, come and take my girl's measurements!"
After the shop owner finished taking Bai Yao's measurements, Xiao Yuhan frowned as he looked at Bai Yao's casually styled hair. "Who styled your hair like that? It looks so old-fashioned, like an old maid. It's not pretty at all!"
Bai Yao pouted, "That's how Junior Uncle handles it, and he's always been the one who taught me. This is the only way Yao'er handles it!"
Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment. Indeed, her junior sister also had this hairstyle, which suited her but was completely unsuitable for a young girl.
Shouldn't little girls be cute and adorable? So he pulled Bai Yao to the bronze mirror in the tailor shop, "Boss! Give me a comb!"
"Master...Master? Are you going to comb Yao'er's hair? But...but..."
"What do you mean 'but' or 'no'? This hairstyle doesn't look good. Let me fix it for you!"
Xiao Yuhan took the wooden comb handed to him by the shopkeeper and fiddled with it for a while, but it seemed that apart from combing, he didn't know how to style hair. He looked at the little girl in the bronze mirror, who went from being shy at first to puffing out her cheeks later, and asked with some doubt, "Master... do you really know how to comb hair?"
Xiao Yuhan looked slightly embarrassed. "Ahem... How could I not? Did I not do a good job combing it? Uh... It seems alright, right?"
Xiao Yuhan had absolutely no experience with styling hair, so after some thought, he styled the little girl's hair into a Western Han Dynasty bun. He simply combed a bun on top of her head and left a lock of hair to hang naturally down her back. After some effort, it turned out surprisingly beautiful. This was also thanks to the little girl's good looks; her skin was fair and delicate, and her big, bright eyes were full of spirit, like a clear mountain spring, clean and bright. After all, she was still young, and her cheeks were slightly chubby. Although she hadn't fully developed yet, she was already very cute.
“Girl, this is called a 'hanging bun,' it suits you very well!” Xiao Yuhan said softly.
"It's...it looks quite nice. How could Master, who has never been married, know how to style a woman's hair?" Bai Yao asked after thinking for a moment.
"Why does it have to be after marriage?" Xiao Yuhan asked, puzzled.
"My junior uncle said that a woman's hair cannot be combed by a man, unless... it is her own husband..." As she spoke, Bai Yao lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought, and her face flushed without her noticing.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan was also stunned. No wonder the little girl hesitated when he was about to comb her hair earlier. So he reached out and patted Bai Yao's head, gently scolding her with a smile, "What are you thinking about all day at such a young age? Do I have so many excuses for combing my disciple's hair?"
Bai Yao lowered her head and softly said "Oh!"
Before, no one taught her how to dress up on the mountain. She dressed plainly and plainly every day, which made her look lifeless. If such a beautiful girl were to dress like her third senior sister, Shen Huairu, she would eventually become cold and aloof, which would not be cute at all.
Xiao Yuhan was unusually relaxed today, and her girlish heart was bursting. She pulled the little girl to look at her hair again and again, but she felt that something was still missing. So she fiddled with it for a long time, and it took her almost half an hour to comb her hair.
At this moment, the shopkeeper had already finished making a dress. Xiao Yuhan looked at it and said, "Uh... a red dress with a white skirt, even the little princess said it's good! This is it! Yao'er, go and change into it!"
Bai Yao obediently went inside to change her clothes. When she came out, she was completely different from before. Wearing a red dress and a white skirt, with this hairstyle, she had a delicate and refined look. At twelve years old, she was still quite young, but she was already exceptionally beautiful. Xiao Yuhan was somewhat surprised and secretly pleased. He then packed up the remaining clothes and put Bai Yao's storage magic treasure away.
The master and apprentice turned and went straight into a jewelry shop. As an elder of the Discipline Hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he was rolling in money. He slammed another silver note on the table and said, "Boss! Hairpins! Hair ornaments! Bracelets! Bring them all out and let me see them!"
Bai Yao tugged at Xiao Yuhan's sleeve, "Master... no need... Yao'er is already satisfied with all these clothes!"
"It's not like I'm short of money. Come on! Let's go inside and pick some out. What girl doesn't have a few pieces of jewelry?" Xiao Yuhan said softly, then asked the shopkeeper to bring out a lot of jewelry.
He carefully selected several pieces of jewelry for her and then put them on Bai Yao one by one. "These things are a bit cumbersome for cultivators, but they are essential for girls. However, considering the impact on your status, the pearl hairpins and silver hairpins I have chosen for you are relatively simple. As for this hair ornament, I will buy it too. Hair ornaments are worn by ladies of good families. They are meant to restrict the way a girl walks. The more stable the hair ornament, the more proper it is. Although I don't want you to be restricted by these things, they are still quite pretty. Keep them. Wear them if you want, and put them away if you don't want to. Yao'er, remember this: a girl may not wear too many pieces of jewelry, but you must have a lot of jewelry!"
As she spoke, Xiao Yuhan turned to look at the shopkeeper, "Wrap all of these up, including this white jade hairpin and this silver bracelet!"
After saying that, Xiao Yuhan picked up the white jade hairpin and the silver bracelet, circulated her spiritual energy, and cast a restriction. "I will use my spiritual energy to leave a sword intent in this hairpin. If you encounter danger, you can use this item. And this bracelet has a defensive restriction set in it, which can help you block the enemy's attack."
After saying that, Xiao Yuhan personally put it on Bai Yao. Bai Yao blushed slightly and murmured, "Master... thank you. Actually, Yao'er has her own money..."
As she spoke, Bai Yao carefully took out a storage magic treasure that even Xiao Yuhan had never seen before and presented it to her master. Although the magic treasure was not very good, when Xiao Yuhan looked inside, he saw that there were several hundred taels of silver, some good pills, and some miscellaneous items, including his used calligraphy brush, the paper he had written half a poem on before throwing it away, and the wooden comb that had disappeared at some point, as well as many other trinkets related to him.
Xiao Yuhan frowned slightly, thinking that he could understand the money and pills. This girl had been bullied on the mountain before, and she couldn't keep the good things for herself, so she developed the habit of hiding things. But what was the use of keeping all those random things?
"You little brat, what are all these things? There's even my old comb here?"
Bai Yao was a little uneasy and quickly explained, "Master...Master, I didn't steal your comb. You said you were going to replace it and throw it away, but I thought it was a waste, so I kept it! Yes! That's it!"
Xiao Yuhan pondered for a moment, "Sigh... girl, stop hiding like this in the future. Live openly and honestly on the mountain. I've said it before, if anyone bullies you, you should go and get revenge yourself! You've been cultivating for so long, and if you're still being bullied, that's your own problem! I won't stand up for you among your peers unless you encounter a crisis that you can't resolve!"
