It made her feel so warm inside, to know that the sight of her body captivated his attention so much. When his gaze fell upon her pussy, he was taken aback. He cocked his head and met her gaze. She suddenly got self-conscious and sat up. "What? Is there something wrong?" He was staring at her bush, or more precisely. the lack thereof! There was no hair on her mons, just a thin strip of dark curly hair that started just above the hood of her clit, went up three inches, and stopped. He was totally confused. He had never seen any woman that had just a thin strip of hair down there. It was either all over and thick; or, if they were very young, not there yet, or just some fuzz. His head was cocked at an angle and his ears were fully forward, his forehead wrinkled as he tried to figure out why it looked the way it did. She saw his expression was one of confusion, not disgust as she had feared. She relaxed a little.

From the universe of Shadow and Blood (A Brazilian Novel). Lan Fengxian's eyes fell upon Liu Weishan with an overwhelming intensity — so deep, so enigmatic — that the young Jinlan Shuiyi felt the weight of that gaze in his soul. Rebirth was supposed to be a second chance, but for Liu Weishan, it became an irrevocable sentence. Since the age of fourteen, his life has belonged to the heavens, which shaped him with an iron fist, molding him into the prestigious yet suffocating title of Celestial Officer — the God of Water, Jinlan Shuiyi. Serving the heavens was not an honor; it was a prison disguised as destiny. Now, he receives his first mission — to retrieve an ancient artifact, whose scattered fragments across the world threaten to unravel the fragile harmony between the celestial and mortal realms. But what should have been a straightforward task soon turns into a deadly game of twisted truths and masked betrayals. At the heart of this chaos stands Lan Fengxian — a fallen Celestial Officer, shrouded in scars and secrets that burn like embers beneath the snow. The line between duty and desire begins to blur, and Liu Weishan starts to question everything he once held sacred. As ancient shadows awaken and dark forces stretch their claws, he must decide whether to follow the path imposed upon him or dare to write his own story — free from the chains of the celestial officers — even if it means defying the gods... or losing himself to Lan Fengxian. In the end, it is not merely about reclaiming a lost artifact. It is about what Liu Weishan is willing to sacrifice. His duty? His faith? Or the last fragment of his heart that still dares to believe? Sinopse em português: Do universo de Sombra e Sangue. Os olhos de Lan Fengxian pousaram sobre Liu Weishan com uma intensidade avassaladora — tão profunda, tão enigmática — que o jovem Jinlan Shuiyi sentiu o peso daquele olhar em sua alma. Renascer deveria ser uma segunda chance, mas para Liu Weishan, foi uma sentença irrevogável. Desde os quatorze anos, sua vida pertence aos céus, que o moldou com punho de ferro até erguê-lo ao prestigiado, e ao mesmo tempo sufocante, título de Oficial Celestial, o Deus da Água Jinlan Shuiyi. Servir aos céus acabou não sendo uma honra; mas uma prisão disfarçada de destino. Agora, ele recebe sua primeira missão — encontrar um artefato antigo, cujos fragmentos espalhados pelo mundo ameaçam desmoronar a frágil harmonia entre os reinos celeste e mortal. Mas a jornada que deveria ser simples se torna um jogo mortal de verdades distorcidas e traições mascaradas. E no centro desse caos está Lan Fengxian — um ex-Oficial Celestial caído em desgraça, envolto em cicatrizes e segredos que queimam como brasas sob a neve. Toda a linha entre o dever e o desejo se desfaz, e Liu Weishan começa a questionar tudo o que um dia considerou sagrado. Enquanto sombras ancestrais despertam e forças obscuras estendem suas garras, ele precisa decidir se seguirá o caminho que lhe foi imposto ou se ousará escrever sua própria história sem as amarras dos oficiais do céu — ainda que isso signifique enfrentar os deuses... ou se perder em Lan Fengxian. No fim, não se trata apenas de recuperar um artefato perdido. Trata-se do que Liu Weishan está disposto a sacrificar. Seu dever? Sua fé? Ou o último fragmento de seu coração que ainda ousa acreditar?
