This Life and Eternity, There is No One Else!
This Life and Eternity, There is No One Else!
"Miss Miao, don't you find it inconvenient to be wearing this veil?" Jun Moxie asked.
"Inconvenient? No! Why do you ask?" Miao Xiaomiao looked at him oddly.
"I just thought that a veil shouldn't be worn for too long. You see, it is spring time now; sand and winds are strong, so it does have a beautifying effect on a girl wearing a veil. But you shouldn't be wearing it everyday, ah? This is extremely bad for the skin. The spring winds, summer rain, autumn frost, and winter snow are all blessings from the Heavens. Even our appearances have to be under the mercy of nature to be able to truly exhibit its beauty, ah…"
"Brother Mo's words do make sense, but the veil… it's a lot to explain." Miao Xiaomiao sighed lightly.
"Oh… Haha, I just looking at Miss Miao's expressions is enough to make anyone feel intoxicated. If one day, I am lucky to see the beautiful face under the veil, what sort of great fortune would that be ah." Jun Moxie rubbed his nose, noticing that the other party did not seem keen on continuing this topic of the veil. He was also just trying to find topics to waste time, so he just replied politely and put an end to it.
But the moment his sentence left his mouth, he noticed Miao Xiaomiao shunning his gaze bashfully! Through the layer of white silk, he could distinctly tell Miao Xiaomiao's porcelain skin turn red rapidly, to the point that even her neck was bright red!
And some people nearby who had overheard his sentence looked at Jun Moxie as if they had seen a monster. Some young men looked at Jun Moxie as if he had murdered their fathers, as if they were on the verge of pouncing on him to rip him to shreds!
"Um… what is wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Jun Moxie rubbed his head in confusion. I had only paid her a compliment; is there a need for you guys to be this agitated?
"Since your arrival in the Misty Illusory Manor, has Brother Mo met any other young ladies?" Miao Xiaomiao did not reply to his question. Instead, she asked him back. She still had an embarrassed look in her eyes, but she managed to calm herself.
Jun Moxie jolted, instantly remembering. He had always neglected this unusual phenomenon.
Since I arrived in Misty Illusory Manor, I don't think I have seen any young lady. It doesn't count if its in Cao Guofeng's courtyard, but since I came to Heart Fantasy City, I did not see a single one either! If I really have to count, aside from Miao Xiaomiao here, there is only Little Beansprout!
What? Did the girls of the Misty Illusory Manor not go shopping on the streets?
Those few women I've met on the streets are also old aunties…
What's happening?
Seeing the confusion in Jun Moxie's eyes, Miao Xiaomiao giggled. "Young Master does not hail from the Misty Illusory Manor, so it's understandable for you not know the reasons. In the Misty Illusory Manor, we are extremely strict in the segregation of males and females! Girls who have yet to be betrothed are generally not allowed to go out of their homes… Even if it's occasionally, they have to wear veils. Even if they are in their own homes, they have to wear their veils when meeting visitors they are unfamiliar with…
"In some families that are stricter, girls will have to don a veil after they turn thirteen. Even their own birth father cannot see her face. Only when she finds a life partner and gets married, the husband removes the veils and they can finally stop wearing it…"
"Um um um…" Young Master Jun was getting awkward, which was extremely rare. He had never expected that a random line he tossed out had directly concerned the privacy and lifelong happiness of women!
This is really…
"In the Misty Illusory Manor, there is a poem that goes like this." A look of daze appeared in Miao Xiaomiao's eyes as she recited slowly. "A sixteen year old daughter is beautiful,"
Like a snow white shawl of worldly affairs;
This life and eternity, there is no one else
Three eternities determined with the glance of her husband!"
Jun Moxie widened his eyes as his mouth hung open. He only felt like he was a pig head! If she wore a veil, that was her problem! It was her choice! Why must you run your mouth? And of all things, you just have to ask… Now great, you've asked for a huge trouble now, and you're really in trouble now…
Young Master Jun naturally understood the meaning of this poem. He was no stranger to this concept. Because there were some ethnic groups in the grasslands that were like this too…
It was a little similar to the meaning behind the husband unveiling the bride on their wedding night…
Miao Xiaomiao continued to speak softly. "In the Misty Illusory Manor, almost all girls hope that the person unveiling their white veil is the one they are attracted to. If that is the case, then it is the most blissful moment of their lives… Otherwise, it will just be the beginning of a nightmare…"
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Jun Moxie's, a look of gentleness and anticipation in them. Not knowing whether for all the girls in Misty Illusory Manor or for herself…
"Brother Mo…" The look in Miao Xiaomiao turned passionate as she looked at Young Master Jun bravely. She gritted her teeth and said, "If Brother Mo really wishes to see Xiaomiao's real face, then…"
Jun Moxie's heart skipped a beat, instantly feeling his throat turn dry. F*ck, have I really messed up?…
Now how should I continue this? Say that I don't want to see it? Even if you kill me, I don't want to look? Then Miss Miao will definitely hate me for life! And be depressed for eternity! And I will be pursued until death by the whole Miao Family. The great plans I set up in Misty Illusory Manor with such great difficulty will all be ruined like this!
But I say that I want to see it? That doesn't work either! The young lady has intentions, but I don't, ah! This is not something that works just with one party's intentions alone, and I'm not a beast ah!
This mouth of mine is really wretched ah… Help ah…
Right now, Miao Xiaomiao's heart was thumping heavily. She didn't know what was the intentions behind Mo Junye's question were! Does he really not know of this custom the Misty Illusory Manor has? Or is he just taking this opportunity to confess his feelings to me?!
If he really doesn't know… Then what should I do? On the other hand, if he really confesses to me along with his victory against the Zhan Brothers, if I reject it… Will he suffer a huge blow because of this? There are no other chances!
Miao Xiaomiao was extremely troubled no matter how she thought about it. She didn't know what she was even thinking about anymore. She only felt that her emotions were in a mess and entangled, and no matter how she tried to straighten it out, it was fruitless. Then, a single thought appeared. This concerns my lifelong happiness in the Misty Illusory Manor… I've met with all the Young Masters of the eight influential families in the Misty Illusory Manor; some of them are not bad, but they are still slightly lacking in feelings… If I'm supposed to entrust my happiness to those people, then I'd rather not marry!
And this Mo Junye with the Free and Natural Physique shook the entire Misty Illusory Manor with his arrival. Not only was his potential great, just the talents he exhibited was enough to impress everyone. And his elegance was extremely attractive. And there was this faint, refreshing natural scent on his body, making one feels extremely comfortable from smelling it…
Although this person looks ordinary, I can feel that he is definitely someone worth entrusting my happiness to! If you don't like someone like him, Xiaomiao ah Xiaomiao, who else are you going to like? What else are you hoping for? The opportunity is right before you eyes; if you do not grab at it now, it'll be gone!
Besides, as I've grown older, the number of marriage proposals at home have been increasing. If not because the matter with the Spiritual Herbal Gardens has yet to have a conclusion, my marriage may already have been decided. If that day comes and any senior at home decides to betroth me to some guy for the benefit of the family… then it'll really be too late for regrets!
Might as well take this opportunity and make the decision of my lifelong happiness!
If someone at home has already made arrangements, then the best reason to reject it would be because I have someone I'm already interested in. Even if I ultimately cannot be with him, but with such a shocking memory of today, will I still be attracted to any man in this life?
I can tell that this Mo Junye is not a bad person! And he risked offending the world to warn me, and right now, and he is at odds with the Zhan Family! Cao Guofeng alone is not enough to protect him…
The thought of Mo Junye being crushed under the Zhan Family's schemes and plots, Miao Xiaomiao felt an unexplainable pain in her heart!
This pain made Miao Xiaomiao more affirmed of her choice,.
Raising her eyes to look at Mo Junye. She was met with the sight of his anxious look and a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead as he looked at her in a daze, waiting for her respond… As if he were really concerned about her response, but could do nothing about the wait and had an unexplainable desire…
To think that this man is so concerned about me! Miao Xiaomiao felt a surge of sweetness appearing in her heart, her face instantly turning red again…
It's easy to discover a valuable treasure. But it's rare to find such a lover.
Forget it, forget it, let's just let this foolish silly-head be the one who undoes my veil…
Jun Moxie did seem to be extremely concerned about what Miao Xiaomiao thought, and although his objective was a lot different from what Miss Miao had imagined…
Young Master Jun's heart was drumming away. Great granny, don't leave me hanging like this when you talk, what is it that you are trying to say, what do you mean ah… I'm really anxious ah, don't provoke me anymore ah… my little heart cannot take on your shocking provocation ah…
I really cannot unveil this veil ah… I have a lot of vinegar jars at home ah… If I really remove it, I'll really be doomed when I go back ah… Especially when Xueyan is almost comparable with me in strength, if she really wants to torture me, I wouldn't dare fight back ah…
Then my life would really be dark ah… Please spare me… Pitiful me has never seen how you look ah, heaven ah, earth ah, jesus and buddhas ah, open up your eyes and spare me please…
Young Master Jun was fervently praying away. Miao Xiaomiao finally opened her mouth. She hung her head low as she spoke, but Jun Moxie could clearly see it. The neck of this number one beauty of Misty Illusory Manor had completely turned red. Her voice was even softer than the buzzing of a mosquito…
Miao Xiaomiao stuttered. "… If Brother Mo… really wishes to see… see how I look, then you, you… you… you… after you successfully win this bet today… I… I… I'll… I'll let you… see…"
