When Zhao Yunxiang took a closer look, she noticed an indescribable harmony in the cheongsam's shape. The pattern of the entwined roses shifted with the angle of view, transforming into a phoenix spreading its wings, ready to take flight. What...what kind of craftsmanship is this? Just looking at this cheongsam, one could imagine how intelligent and graceful the woman who wore it would be. Zhao Yunxiang was stunned.
"Sister-in-law, do you like this dress?" The old lady had put down the work in her hands at some point, walked up to Zhao Yunxiang, and asked with a smile.
"How beautiful!" Zhao Yunxiang murmured in praise, her mind still immersed in the cheongsam. The color-changing fabric, the exquisite embroidery that changed patterns, no matter what, made Zhao Yunxiang astonished.
"Yes! It's so beautiful! What a pity..." The old lady sighed, a look of nostalgia on her face.
Suddenly, a fresh breath passed by the old lady's nose. The old lady was startled and looked up. She saw a delicate little girl lying on the back of a boy, dozing with her eyes half closed.
Wen Ziqing's Zhao Clan martial arts had already reached the "Earth" stage, and his blood and energy were so vigorous that it seemed as if they were about to burst forth. The old lady wanted to approach Wen Ziqing, but she sensed a sense of righteousness from him and could not help but stop.
The old lady's face began to turn into one of confusion and uncertainty. Not only Wen Ziqing, but also the younger boy was also possessing true Qi. Where did these people come from? How did they come into her territory, Hu Sanniang?
Zhao Yunxiang stared at the cheongsam blankly, as if she was obsessed with it, and did not move for a long time.
Zhou Yuanyuan seemed to be awakened by the silence. Half of her face was lying on Wen Ziqing's back, but her mind was observing the old lady in front of her.
The old lady's hair was almost completely white and sparse, and was combed into a small bun at the back of her head. However, even with such a small amount of hair, the old lady managed to make it shiny and smooth, without a single stray hair.
"Little girl, do you like your mother-in-law?" The old lady found that Zhou Yuanyuan had woken up. She stood about one meter away from Wen Ziqing, turned around, and smiled brightly at Zhou Yuanyuan.
The wrinkles on the old lady's face seemed to stretch out with this smile, and her eyes were full of water, revealing an intoxicating charm.
How beautiful! At this moment, Zhou Yuanyuan's mind was hazy, and only this adjective flashed through her mind.
"Beautiful!" Zhou Yuanyuan answered in a daze.
"Go with grandma! Grandma will teach you many skills and let you have whatever you want." The old lady's voice was full of temptation, and like the whispers between lovers, it rang in Zhou Yuanyuan's ears.
"Let's go?" Zhou Yuanyuan made a confused sound, so soft that even Wen Ziqing, who was standing nearby, couldn't hear what she was saying.
"What's wrong?" Wen Ziqing felt something was off about Zhou Yuanyuan, but he couldn't quite place what. Even when she wasn't cultivating, Zhou Yuanyuan's energy flowed slowly, her aura gentle and peaceful. Whenever Wen Ziqing was around her, he felt a gentle aura, unconsciously relaxing his tense nerves. Now, Wen Ziqing could clearly sense that Zhou Yuanyuan's peaceful aura was gone.
Zhou Yuanyuan seemed not to hear Wen Ziqing's question. Her eyes were fixed on the old lady. If she was not on Wen Ziqing's back at this time, Zhou Yuanyuan would probably have walked to the old lady's side.
"Hey! Master, wake up quickly!" Xiaoyu in the sea of consciousness found that Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness was in chaos. He was the first to discover that something was wrong with Zhou Yuanyuan and quickly yelled.
At Xiaoyu's call, Zhou Yuanyuan's dilated pupils refocused and her eyes became clear again.
Who was that old lady? Why had she become so confused? Zhou Yuanyuan broke out in a cold sweat after regaining consciousness.
Zhao Yunxiang also woke up from her intoxication and found herself standing in a dark alley with several children. Surprise appeared on her face. Zhao Yunxiang had a good sense of safety and would not set foot in dark or sparsely populated places. I don't know what happened today. Why did she run here with several children?
After Zhou Yuanyuan regained consciousness, the old lady put away the smile on her face, walked back to her original position, picked up the dress and continued to sew buttons on it. She seemed to have disappeared.
When Zhao Yunxiang looked at the cheongsam again, she found that it was just an ordinary cheongsam.
Zhao Yunxiang frowned, as if she couldn't remember why she had stopped here. She looked at the old lady who was concentrating on sewing in the shop. She was just an ordinary old lady.
Zhao Yunxiang and her three children gradually walked away. The old lady finally put away her clothes and wiped the sweat from her forehead. It seemed that Hu Sanniang had been reckless this time. If she hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, she might have been beheaded by now.
After leaving the alley, the old lady, the tailor shop, and the incredibly beautiful cheongsam did not leave any impression in Zhao Yunxiang's memory. She only remembered that she took the children to run around most of Shilitun but could not find a job opportunity. It seemed that for now, she could only be a down-to-earth parasite.
The incident passed. Although Wen Ziqing thought the old lady in the alley was a little strange, when he went to look for her the next day, he found that the tailor shop was not there. Wen Ziqing did not give up and asked the people living nearby. They also shook their heads and insisted that there was no tailor shop like the one Wen Ziqing described in the area.
After a while, Wen Ziqing put the somewhat weird old lady behind his mind.
Xiaoyu kept nagging about Zhou Yuanyuan for days. Xiaoyu was truly terrified, having finally come to realize that Zhou Yuanyuan was fundamentally different from the cultivators she had met before. In the Lingxiao Realm, it was common for cultivators to fight over opportunities and treasures, even resorting to violence and murder over a single disagreement. Zhou Yuanyuan, despite her miserable past life, was essentially a person who lived in a peaceful world. She was wary of others, at best, but she couldn't believe that even without hatred, people would harm each other.
Xiaoyu found a bunch of miscellaneous books for Zhou Yuanyuan to read, most of which were about killing people for treasure or killing people for opportunities. Someone had left these books in Xiaoyu's jade card space, and Xiaoyu had once despised them. Now, using them for Zhou Yuanyuan's enlightenment education as a cultivator, Xiaoyu felt that they were perfect.
