The Closed Moon and Shy Flower Palace covered an enormous area, nearly akin to a celestial palace in the human world. The steps, carved from white jade with dragons and phoenixes, extended from the golden gate down to the street. Such a feat would absolutely not be allowed in the human world because only the royalty could use dragon and phoenix white jade steps.
The glazed tiles and the golden gate, radiating brilliant splendor, complemented the grandeur of the imperial palace without seeming oppressive. Outside the golden gate, sixteen beautiful young women stood on both sides of the white jade steps, eight on each side, each expressing their unique demeanor. Some had fiery physiques with intriguing curves; some were lean, graceful, sweet, and gentle; others were charming and posed in captivating ways. Each truly had its own charm.
"Hehe...how about it?" The chubby man laughed triumphantly, saying, "These are just the welcoming ladies, the real beauties are inside the palace."
