Zhaozhao came out with two huge dark circles under her eyes the next day, which gave Song Yao quite a shock.
"Don't tell me you stayed up all night?" Song Yao steadied the tottering Zhaozhao and asked, both anxious and angry.
Zhaozhao turned her head slowly and blurted out, "Amazing! It's truly amazing!"
Song Yao: "..."
Zhaozhao had stared at the videos that Song Yao wanted her to learn from until late into the night yesterday, which greatly satisfied her curiosity. She thought she was a different person now.
She was confident that she could be a qualified human being!
So although she didn't sleep well, Zhaozhao herself was very satisfied.
Song Yao looked at Zhaozhao, not knowing what to say. In the end, she simply skipped this topic and pulled Zhaozhao into her room.
"Come on. Pick out a dress you like, put it on and come out. I'll dress you up nicely," Song Yao said, pointing at the room full of delicate and beautiful little dresses.
These dresses had been carefully selected and sent over early in the morning.
"Wow!" Zhaozhao stammered, "Cousin, can I pick any of these?"
Song Yao was quite satisfied with Zhaozhao's reaction. "Of course. Choose whatever you like. I'll give them all to you."
Perhaps loving beautiful clothes was a girl's nature, whether human or demon.
Zhaozhao was very happy looking at the little dresses in front of her, but she felt a bit embarrassed to take them.
"Cousin... but I have nothing to repay you with..." Zhaozhao lowered her eyes, wringing her hands and stammering.
Song Yao was stunned for a moment. When she realized what was going on, a twinge of pity welled up in her heart. How much hardship had this child suffered on the mountain? Why was she so hesitant when receiving a gift?
Song Yao rarely lovingly stroked Zhaozhao's head. "Who said I want you to repay me? I, Song Yao, lack nothing. What could I possibly want from you?"
Zhaozhao still felt embarrassed. After much thought, she clattered back to her room, rummaged through her small cloth bag and took out a spiritual fruit to give to Song Yao.
This spiritual fruit could help one cultivate.
In this world now, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was thin in the human realm, so it was very difficult for ordinary people to cultivate.
Since Song Yao cared so much about cultivation, Zhaozhao thought this was the most suitable gift.
"Cousin, this is very delicious," Zhaozhao said considerately when she saw Song Yao's indescribable expression.
Song Yao didn't think much of this thing, but seeing Zhaozhao's expectant face, she somehow picked it up and took a bite.
"Ah, it's... quite delicious," Song Yao said with an unnatural expression, then immediately urged Zhaozhao harshly, "Hurry up and pick out your clothes. Don't dawdle!"
Zhaozhao's eardrums ached from Song Yao's voice. She covered her ears and chose a little black velvet dress.
Song Yao was very satisfied. It seemed that although the child was a bit silly, her aesthetic sense was still on point.
After that, Song Yao dragged Zhaozhao to apply a facial mask, then carefully did a delicate makeup for her and even put on the necklace she had treasured for many years.
After getting dressed up, looking at Zhaozhao in front of her, Song Yao herself was a bit shocked.
Zhaozhao originally had a very delicate and spiritual appearance. Usually, because of her strange way of thinking, people always thought she was cute, and it was easy to ignore some of her other qualities.
But now, after being well - dressed, Zhaozhao sat there silently, exuding a bit of coldness, nobility and... mystery for no reason.
"Cousin? Are you daydreaming?" Zhaozhao waved her hand in front of Song Yao's face. As soon as she opened her mouth, her childishness came out.
"..." Alright. But Zhaozhao just now would surely intimidate people if taken out.
After getting everything ready, Song Yao took Zhaozhao to the Xuan Sect. To be precise, she took her to go on a blind date.
When the two arrived at the Xuan Sect, before Zhaozhao could even marvel at the vastness of the sect, Song Yao dragged her away in a hurry.
Song Yao took her to a high - class coffee shop in the Xuan Sect.
The Xuan Sect was very large. It not only had office buildings for the clan elders, but also many disciples who had joined the sect to cultivate studied here. So to meet the daily needs of the cultivating disciples, the facilities in the Xuan Sect were very complete.
When Zhaozhao entered the coffee shop and was pressed by Song Yao to sit on the seat while being stared at by several pairs of eyes, she gave a shy smile.
"Song Yao, this is the younger sister you were talking about? She's so good - looking. She's so cute when she smiles!" Qiao Shan liked Zhaozhao very much when she saw her. She reached out her hand to pinch Zhaozhao's face, but was slapped away by Song Yao.
"Don't be so touchy - feely. We have something important to do today. Where are the people you were told to find?"
Warm propped her chin up and said lazily, "Of course we found them. Don't you trust our work?"
"Alright, then call them over."
Zhaozhao was completely confused throughout. She didn't know what was going on. She only heard her cousin say that they were going on a date.
After last night's cramming, she roughly understood what this meant, but she was still a bit confused.
Song Yao simply introduced her sister - circle to Zhaozhao, then pressed on Zhaozhao's shoulders and said earnestly, "Choose carefully. If you take a fancy to someone, tell me. I guarantee I'll help you win him over!"
Zhaozhao: "Ah?"
"What do you mean 'ah'? Take a good look. These people are no worse than Su Yuan. At least they're pure in terms of feelings."
When Song Yao mentioned Su Yuan, Zhaozhao's mood immediately sank. She lowered her head and replied slowly, "Oh, I see."
Song Yao called a group of sisters and moved to the seats behind Zhaozhao, ready to observe secretly.
Su Yuan came out of the sect leader's office. He declined the other party's kind offer to accompany him to visit the Xuan Sect and walked towards the arranged residence.
Nan Jia, who was waiting outside, saw her boss come out and walked up maliciously, whispering, "Boss, I just saw Zhaozhao."
Su Yuan paused for a moment, then quickly resumed his normal pace. He kept a cold face and ignored her.
"Hey, boss, don't you really want to go and have a look? She's in the coffee shop over there. I saw her go in with Song Yao..." Nan Jia kept chattering behind him persistently.
Su Yuan said calmly, "Nan Jia, if you don't shut up, go and talk to Gu Bei."
Nan Jia's face changed, and she became obedient. Damn it! The boss is using this trick again!
After getting rid of Nan Jia, Su Yuan's feet that were supposed to go back to the hotel seemed to have a mind of their own. He somehow walked to the door of the coffee shop Nan Jia had mentioned, and then somehow stepped inside.
As soon as Su Yuan entered, he saw Zhaozhao in a little black dress, looking bright and beautiful, and... the boy sitting opposite her.
Su Yuan felt that something was wrong with himself. His chest was blocked terribly. Not knowing what was going on in his mind, he sat down diagonally behind Zhaozhao and the others.
Zhaozhao was chatting very happily with the boy. The boy was humorous and knowledgeable. He didn't think she was stupid at all and even praised her for being cute.
The girl's soft laughter kept reaching Su Yuan's ears, and the smile on the boy's face also came into view. He had never thought a person's smile could be so dazzling.
Su Yuan sat there, and the air pressure around him was as cold as an ice field. Several waiters looked at each other. No one dared to go up and serve this customer.
"Zhaozhao, you've got some cream on the corner of your mouth," the boy said with a beaming smile, reminding Zhaozhao who was burying her head in eating the cake.
"Eh?" Zhaozhao reached out her hand to wipe it. "Is there still some?"
Seeing that she couldn't wipe it off correctly no matter how she tried, the boy took a tissue and leaned over. "Let me help you."
Crack!
The cup in Su Yuan's hand shattered in response.
He walked over with a chill all over him, grabbed the boy's hand that was about to touch Zhaozhao, and said to the boy in a menacing tone, "What do you think you're doing?"
