Chapter 543 - 0323 She wants a pair of Raccoon Ears
After many days, Beisang City is finally bustling with a little rain.
The Rowing Maiden found the weather a bit strange, especially just now, when the sky was dark for a while and the temperature suddenly dropped, as if a cloud had passed over the town.
However, she quickly put her doubts aside, simply thinking that the sudden change in weather was Pingniang’s doing, and didn’t dwell on it.
She obediently sat behind Yun Qian, gazing foolishly at the girl by the window listening to the rain.
By her calculations, the gentleman should be returning soon... which means her time alone with Miss Yun would be over.
She was perceptive; once Xu Chang’an returned, even if she were allowed to stay, she wouldn’t have the courage.
So, at this moment, the girl was treating every minute and second as her last opportunity to watch Yun Qian up close.
But then...
She suddenly let out a soft "huh?" and looked curiously at Miss Yun, who was raising her hands to slide them over her head from her ears.
Her breathing involuntarily sped up.
Because this scene reminded her very much of the way the girls at Flower Moon Building would hold their ears when sunbathing like Raccoon Flowers... but Miss Yun wasn’t a Raccoon Flower, and didn’t have ears on her head, so it was just her unchecked imagination.
Blushing, the girl lowered her head, feeling ashamed of comparing Miss Yun to a Raccoon Flower.
"..."
The sound of rain pitter-pattered in her ears as Yun Qian’s fingers fell on her smooth long hair, tilting her head, thinking of something.
Are the girls at Piluo Residence all geniuses?
It’s one thing that the clothes they made could make Xu Chang’an like her more, but to even think of wearing cat ears on her head?
Xu Chang’an liked Raccoon Flowers so much, he would definitely love it.
Yun Qian couldn’t understand why she hadn’t thought of this herself.
Just for this alone, Yun Qian’s favorable opinion of the girls at Piluo Residence went up a notch, compared to which, being compared to the girls at Flower Moon Building was nothing.
So Miss Yun said that the Heavenly Dao had no prospects, as she wasn’t angered by this matter, it had nothing to retaliate with.
In any case, currently, compared to the distant Frosty Heaven, the girls at Piluo Residence, who enhance her attractiveness to her husband, were much more important to Miss Yun.
"Ears..."
Yun Qian relaxed her hands, her nails grazing over her earlobes, thinking that compared to fake ears, if she really grew a pair of fuzzy yellow cat ears, her husband would surely be delighted.
Yun Qian turned her head, speaking to the girl who was in self-reflection.
"Can a person have Raccoon Flower ears?"
"..." The girl was stunned, then quickly looked up.
"Eh?"
Raccoon Flower?
Ears?
Could it be... it wasn’t just her imagination earlier?
"Under what circumstances would a person have Raccoon Flower ears," Yun Qian repeated, then added, "within reason."
It had to be reasonable; she couldn’t just sprout a pair of ears out of thin air.
"What is sister talking about?" The Rowing Maiden looked blankly at Yun Qian, but being stared at by Yun Qian, she put away her confusion, thought for a moment, and said, "Humans with cat ears? Is Ms. Yun talking about half-demons? Oh right... you saw a half-demon girl at the Immortal Sect."
"Half-demon?" A pear blossom flashed in Yun Qian’s mind, and she asked, "What half-demon?"
"I’ve never seen one myself," the girl said, "but aren’t there demons outside?"
"Mm." Yun Qian nodded.
In her understanding, demons were absolute evil to the Human Race.
Everyone wanted to exterminate them, and all cultivators across the world saw vanquishing demons as their duty. In the long-standing hatred, everything stood irreparably opposed, with the Human Race and the Demon Race like two colliding stars, not stopping until one or the other was mostly destroyed.
"We are close to the Immortal Sect here, and haven’t heard of any demon disasters." The Rowing Maiden recalled, "But outside, if there is a Raccoon Flower demon having offspring with a girl from our Human Race, there would be a half-demon."
The union between humans and demons was extremely difficult, but if a mother managed to get pregnant, the newborn child would most likely be a half-demon, mainly human or demon with some traits of the other.
Out of curiosity, she had heard storytellers discuss this many times.
"Anyway, children born from the union of a demon and a girl would appear human but have cat ears, right?"
The Rowing Maiden said this, a slight fear flashing in her eyes, and she tightened her clothes, speaking softly:
"I’ve heard that half-demons are very frightening and are disliked by both humans and demons... wherever they go, it’s a bloody scene..."
Yun Qian nodded, signaling her to continue.
"The storytellers said that in the past, small countries kept half-demons for warfare..." The Rowing Maiden shivered, "In short, very frightening."
The girl paused and added.
"Sisters who came to the building after demon disasters said... most demon disasters outside had nothing to do with the Demon Race, mainly caused by the immature half-demons."
The girl, though scared, still said, "Ms. Yun, the half-demon you met at the Immortal Sect should be no danger... right, since it’s the Immortal Sect."
Ordinary people like them rarely had the chance to see purebred demons, instead, there were occasional rumors about half-demons.
"I see." Yun Qian listened to her words, reflecting on Wen Li’s situation.
Past things were in the past; today’s Wen Li was completely a girl of the Human Race. Her half-demon side had split into a Raccoon Flower Demon—"Xu Xiaohua"—connected to her soul.
"I have never seen a half-demon, I was just asking," Yun Qian calmly said, "So, a half-demon can be both a girl and have cat ears... how nice."
"...?"
Nice?
A question mark formed over the girl’s head.
Ms. Yun, what are you saying?
——
Yun Qian just felt it was a pity that her current body was thoroughly that of an ordinary Human Race girl and couldn’t transform into a half-demon.
And the Miss Wen, who clearly had the chance to grow Raccoon ears that her husband would love, had given up on this enticing option.
Miss Yun didn’t expect she would one day experience the feeling of "the things you care about are worthless to others."
But thinking this, Yun Qian suddenly realized that Wen Li wasn’t at a disadvantage either.
Xu Chang’an playing with Xiaohua’s ears, Wen Li would feel it too.
"..."
Putting away her thoughts, Yun Qian figured she had no chance of growing a pair of ears herself, so it seemed she would need to rely on external means like for beauty marks.
"By the way," Yun Qian recalled what she couldn’t help but notice earlier and asked casually, "What is Qingmei Workshop?"
In Yun Qian’s sight, after she asked, the Rowing Maiden’s eyes instantly showed panic.
"... Ugh." A layer of red crept up the girl’s earlobes.
Her current state was even more excessive than when Yun Qian asked about Red Lotus and Elixirs, as if the sky had fallen, in utter panic.
