A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 185: Soft Wu Whispers

Returning to the bar, Jiang Qin rested for just half an hour before heading backstage to do her makeup.

She had been so busy all day that even Yun Xie couldn’t stand to watch anymore.

He pouted in displeasure. "Qinqin, can’t you just let that cat handle his own business?

What kind of male makes his female master run around ragged for his career?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"It’s my career too."

"If you’re short on money, I can just take on a few S-level missions. There’s no need to work so hard.

Look at you, you didn’t even take a nap today."

Jiang Qin chuckled. "I once heard a saying: ’No need for long sleep in life, for there will be eternal rest in death.’

I only got up at ten this morning. If I took a nap, wouldn’t I have slept away half the day?"

"That’s because you were busy until four this morning!"

Regardless, Yun Xie was unhappy. Normally, if Jiang Qin wanted to kill someone, he was the type to hand her a knife rather than do the killing for her.

He would never do anything to spoil her fun.

He would only go along with her wishes to make her happier.

But he had taken classes and knew that an irregular lifestyle would affect a female’s health.

So he felt some misplaced anger toward Lan Yuyan, blaming him for messing up Jiang Qin’s schedule.

"Alright, don’t be upset. I won’t stay up late tonight."

Yun Xie took a sharp hit of Inhibitor and said in a hoarse voice, "In that case, my dear female master, can you compensate me for the night that should have been mine?"

...Jiang Qin’s face instantly turned red.

She glanced around the dressing room, which only held the two of them, and breathed a sigh of relief.

’Good, no one else is here.’

’What kind of shameless words are these?’

"How about it...?" Yun Xie leaned closer to her face, his tone soft and wheedling.

Jiang Qin, blushing, nodded haphazardly and pushed him away. "You’re smudging my makeup."

"Then let me do it for you."

"You know how?"

Yun Xie raised an eyebrow. "Want to see?"

"Okay."

He took the powder puff and carefully touched up the smudged area.

Then, holding the eyebrow pencil, he drew on her thin eyebrows, stroke by stroke.

"You’re wearing ancient-style clothing today, so you should have this kind of eyebrow, right?"

"Mhm." Jiang Qin was a little surprised by his attentiveness.

As if sensing her thoughts, Yun Xie said nonchalantly, "My eyes are on you for at least ten hours a day.

If I can’t even notice changes in your makeup and clothes, what’s the difference between me and a blind man?"

"So... you learned just by watching?"

Looking at the slender, curved eyebrows in the mirror, Jiang Qin was in a bit of a daze.

After all, it had taken her a long time to learn how to do her eyebrows.

The invention of eyebrow tattoos had saved countless girls who were clumsy with their hands.

The shape of the eyebrows is a very important part of one’s facial features. Different shapes create completely different effects.

Although eyebrow tattoos saved many clumsy girls, they had one drawback: the eyebrow shape was fixed.

She had only been ten back then, so of course she couldn’t get her eyebrows tattooed.

So, in order to draw different eyebrow shapes, she had practiced for a long time.

Besides practicing on her face, she would also practice on paper.

And yet, Yun Xie had learned just by watching...

However, Yun Xie himself didn’t think it was anything surprising. ’Isn’t this... something anyone with hands can do?’

So after finishing the eyebrows, he started on Jiang Qin’s eye makeup.

Based on her clothing and hairstyle for the day, he went directly for a light makeup look.

For light makeup to stand out, it’s all about the details.

When he was done, the Jiang Qin in the mirror had clear and gentle eyes, possessing the unique aura of a woman from Jiangnan.

Although Yun Xie didn’t know the adjectives used to describe ancient women from Jiangnan, he had a fundamental sense of aesthetic harmony.

"How is it?"

In the mirror, the gentle and beautiful woman lightly caressed her face and smiled tenderly. "It’s very nice. It’s the effect I was going for."

"As long as you like it. From now on, when you don’t feel like doing your makeup, just let me do it."

"Wouldn’t that make you my personal makeup artist?"

Yun Xie’s lips curved into a slight smile. "That would be my honor."

"Help me put on my hair accessory. It’s almost time for work."

"Okay. Drink some water first to soothe your throat."

「The front of the bar.」

Mo Lan, who had been dragged here by her brother, was taking in the bar’s atmosphere with a face full of curiosity.

Her lifestyle was very similar to Mo Chen’s, a straight line between three points each day: home, school, and the lab.

She never went to places like bars, which were of no use to her.

But no one had ever told her that this was what a bar was like!

’Isn’t this basically a concert?’

Who on earth said that bars were places where all the resentment of males gathered?

That the males who went to bars were either there to alleviate their pain, suppress their rampancy, or relieve their inner sorrows?

There were so many females here, and she couldn’t see how much the males present were suffering.

She could only see excitement, anticipation, and joy.

’Sure enough, my mentor’s recommendation was right. If you want to observe a thousand faces with a thousand emotions, a bar is a great place to go.’

So, even if Mo Chen hadn’t come to find her, she would have spent this time hopping between the major bars in Central City anyway.

To secretly observe people and conduct psychological analyses.

Mo Lan activated her Light Computer, opened a spreadsheet, and began to record her observations, making psychological deductions based on expressions, body language, and so on.

However, after recording just a few people, she turned her attention to her own dear brother.

’His gaze is steady, but his eyes are vacant. That means my brother is spacing out. He’s definitely not thinking about work right now.’

’Most likely, a person.’

’Probably someone he’s about to see, because his subconscious actions all scream ’I’m full of eager anticipation.’ ’

’But he’s controlling this subconscious reaction. It’s likely his thoughts and his body are in conflict.’

’And his eyes.’

’Even though Mo Chen has looked serious this whole time, as if deep in thought, his eyes have inadvertently swept over the clock on stage for the seventh time.’

’Of course, that might be because the clock is in his line of sight.’

’But why the 0.05-second pause?’

So Mo Lan wrote: *Subconsciously notes the time. My brother is very much looking forward to the upcoming... soothing master?*

After she finished writing, Mo Lan looked at her brother as if she’d had an epiphany.

’This must be why he suspects he’s being hypnotized by the soothing master, right?’

She didn’t even need to watch any further to understand what was going on.

’Still, I need to be more rigorous.’

’What if the soothing master’s voice really does contain something harmful?’

...

Soon, Jiang Qin took the stage.

She was holding a pipa.

"Jiang Qin!!!"

"Qin Bao, look over here!!"

...

The audience was as enthusiastic as ever.

And tonight, she was as stunning as ever.

"I wonder if anyone here has heard of ’Wu Nong Xi Yu’?"

’Wu Nong Xi Yu?’

Most people were bewildered. Only some who majored in ancient culture had a vague impression.

Wen Jiaqi shouted out the answer directly, "It’s an adjective! It describes a local language from the ancient era."
