The Seaoes ith your pale skin, and sets off your blue eyes and black hair I don’t believe it will need any ostentatious decorations or pri, either – just a few adjustments to really accentuate your body type You’re already really very beautiful, you know And nothing too fancy, that’d take away fro Redundant, no? Si as she measured and recorded Qianlin’s measurements Her voice dropped a few notches in volume “Don’t you find it odd that the Driver would be here waiting for the Jewelry Master?”

Zhou Qianlin nodded her head

The Sea “Actually this store isn’t entirely mine Part of it is owned by the Driver ThatHe loves suits you know – obsessed – to the point where our store’s profits aren’t enough to keep up with his dears and drink his booze here He and the Jewelry Master are old drinking buddies He heard two days ago that our young Jewelry Master would be stopping by, and stayed specifically to speak with hi but smoke smoke smoke, drink drink drink I’ve even developed an affinity for the damn stench”

Lan Jue’s voice wafted towards theinal cask for the third bottle It’s an old one, and I like the smoky taste…”

“Alright, so let’s pour you out a little h as the third bottle’s cork popped away “Then what do you think, her, naturally,” Lan Jue instructed “The Bow taste without that disinfectant fluid finish There are other things for h”

“Got it!”

Half an hour later, the Driver and Sea Lan Jue and his guest farewell

“Take it easy, we’ll be back another ti happily to the two behind hi Next ti”

Lan Jue responded with a hearty laugh of his own “A few bottles over forty years old are enough The Dalo was quite fine, if I remember The one with antlers on the label Find us that one”

Qianlin was alet started then Afterwards it’ll be tiht, then why don’t you sit cross-legged on the bed,” Lan Jue instructed

Zhou Qianlin rolled her eyes at hied on the sofa, her back perfectly straight Lan Jue stood at her side, and fro a fine line down to her back His eyes traced further, down her spine to the pleasant curve of her backside

His depression and sadness had served to quell any interest in wo Qianlin, he found he couldn’t entirely suppress those feelings as he once could In fact, every time they met, he had to et hiain

Zhou Qianlin waited for what see froawking

As Lan Jue met those sky-blue eyes, he shook hied behind her, reaching his hands towards her back

He paused for adeep breath He took the ti his palh her clothes, he could feel how soft and sain to take a breath and ease his heart then slowly, gently reached out with his Discipline in to her

The Soulcaller geainst his chest warmed

“Mm”

In reality, Lan Jue had already checked her once when he’d stolen in to her house This time was mostly so he could reconfirm, and remember

After a moment Lan Jue retracted his hands “I’m sure of it, you weren’t actually sick before It was a sy?” Zhou Qianlin rose to her feet “I’m not very familiar with Adepts, but aren’t I too old for a Discipline to be awakening?”
