Chapter 9 - Dining with Yin Qiji (2)

Yin Zhi's curiosity grew as she asked, "Then what do you usually eat?"

"Ever since I was born in chaos, I never really ate anything since I am filled with power and I never got hungry so despite traveling to more than ten thousand planets in different galaxies, I never really tasted their food since I am not curious and even when I fell in this world, I still retain my constitution so I never went hungry despite my power is gone. But as you know, your ancestor was my first contractor and she is a foodie so she even dragged me around to eat with her, because of her, my taste buds also improve, so I don't like eating bitter foods." - Yin Qiji explained

"Ohh. You don't like bitter foods." Yin Zhi said as she continued eating her congee. She didn't even bother to ask about the Founding Empress of Huxia. She doesn't feel any curiosity about her so she never really ask Yin Qiji what the First Empress is like.

Yin Qiji notuced that Yin Zhi continued her meal so she also started to eat her fish.

Yin Zhi and Yin Qiji ate all the food in the table in silence. Once finished, Yin Zhi leaned back in her seat comfortably. For the past fifteen years, she experienced an apocalypse, This is the most satisfying meal she'd eaten. In the past, because of the dangerous environment, they already developed a habit of eating very fast, even if their food is unappetizing. Thinking of the suffering of her past life, Yin Zhi sigh.

Yin Qiji sat in front of Yin Zhi as she said, "Since you are back and given a second chance, and there is still more than a year before the apocalypse, You can gather a lot of materials and foods, and never treat yourself badly."

Yin Zhi looked at the black kitten in front of her as she said, "You know what I am thinking?"

"Yes. I am bound to you, So I can read your thoughts."

"Hmm." - Yin Zhi acknowledge

"You're a picky eater. It must really hard for you to not eat what you like during the apocalypse."

"Well, what can I do? Food was limited back then so I could only endure. But now that you mention it, I would really treat myself better in this life. I would definitely gonna spend all the money of the Yin Royal family to gather materials. Too bad I don't have space so I could not carry it with me."

"Well, In your past life, You did not awaken a space ability and in this life, it would be unlikely so. But don't worry, On a higher planet, they have a space pouch where you could store things. Although you can only put nonliving things." - Yin Qiji comforted

"Really? But that would definitely cost a lot of points, right? Right now, we dont even have any tasks received."

"Well, Connecting to that certain planet would really take time, but it's better than nothing. Anyway, After your celebration party tonight, I will be in slumber as I need to concentrate on connecting to the nearest planets first so that we can receive tasks and missions soon."

"How long would you be sleeping?" - Yin Zhi asked as she carried Yin Qiji in her arms before walking towards her bedroom.

"It might take a day or two."

"Okay."

Yin Zhi put down Yin Qiji on the bed as she went towards the bathroom to take a bath. Anytime now, the makeup artists and stylist would be coming to dress her up for tonight's celebration.

A moment later, her bedroom doorbell chimed so she went out after wrapping herself with a bathrobe and pushed one of the buttons on her bedside table as the door opened. Three women in their early thirties stood at the door as they bowed respectfully in front of Yin Zhi. "You're Highness, We're here to prepare you for the evening."

"Well, Thank you. Lets begin." Yin Zhi replied calmy, as she walked towards the vanity room that is connected to her bedroom.

 

….

 

Yin Zhi stood in front of the mirror, watching her reflection. Her long silver hair was styled into an asymmetrical twsited updo, with delicate starnds falling gracefully to frame her face. Tiny gold pearls adorned the updo, meticulous place to add a quiet elegance.

Her makeup was subtle yet refined. Her cheekbones were softly highlighted, and her eyes were delicately lined to highlight the natural brightness of her purple pupils. A sfot glow enhanced her porcelain smooth skin, and her lips retained their natural pinkish hue, lending a touch of youthful beauty.

Yin Zhi wore a fitted gown of white silk with gold embroidery, clinging to her figure, enhancing her curves. The gown flared slightly at the bottom, trailing a few inches onto the floor. While the neckline and long sleeve exuded elegance and restraint and the fitted silhouette emphasized her slender frame.

"Your Highness, which earring would you like to wear?" One of the stylists asked while holding an open box with five different types of earrings. Yin Zhi looked at them as she selected a pair of gold drop sword earrings.

As she adjusted her earrings, the stylists took a step back, admiration evident in their eyes.

"Your Highness, you look breathtaking." one of them said, her voice filled with awe.

Yin Zhu offered a faint smile, acknowledging the praise calmly.

Just then, a soft voice echoed in her mind. "Not bad at all." Came Yin Qiji's playful tone.

"With your looks, it was no exaggeration that there would be men willingly falling to their knees just for you."

Yin Zhi's lips curved slightly, as she replied. "Well, Even if they did, It would be useless if they were not useful to me."
