At the Demon Sect Outer Gate, the mountain breeze sweeps through, fluttering Ji Li's dark hair.
She gently adjusts her hair bun, tucking it behind her ears, then, under thousands of watchful eyes, she lifts her head high, puffs out her chest, and walks over to Lu Xun under the spirit bamboo next to him.
This assertion of herself is indeed quite impressive.
At eighteen, Ji Li compared to when she was sixteen lacks a certain childishness. She was a beauty in the making and now, she exudes an undeniable charm.
Adding to that is her natural charm, which didn't detract from her attractiveness, but rather acted as a bonus.
She was quite nervous, inexperienced in such situations, not knowing why Lu Xun had asked her to stay, but she had to put on a show of confidence!
Although there wasn't technically anything between her and Lu Xun, she still had to...
Display the dignity of a queen!
Even if it's all pretense, what if somebody misunderstands?
