Chapter 718: Chapter 567: He Said I Am Very Good-Looking...

"Quick, follow me..."

Senior Sister Han was naturally impatient, and she knew full well her junior, Jun Meng, had a gentle and unhurried nature. So without a word, she grabbed Gui Junmeng’s wrist and hurried toward the courtyard.

When Gui Junmeng returned to her courtyard, several of her senior and junior sisters from the temple were already waiting inside the house.

The moment they saw her return, they swarmed her and pulled her into the room.

Before Gui Junmeng could even react, all the windows in the room were shut, the heavy curtains drawn tightly, and an Array was cast to prevent outsiders from peeking in.

Immediately after, Gui Junmeng felt the sash at her waist being gently pulled, loosening slightly.

In just a moment, the simple Daoist Robe silently fell around the young woman’s fair ankles.

Her senior and junior sisters stared at Gui Junmeng’s graceful figure and skin as smooth and pale as fine jade, all of them momentarily stunned.

They all knew in their hearts that their Junior Sister Jun Meng was a peerless beauty with a first-rate figure.

But when they finally saw the sight hidden beneath the spacious Daoist Robe with their own eyes, they suddenly realized—they had still underestimated her!

The figure hidden beneath that Daoist Robe was more stunning than they could have ever imagined! There wasn’t a single flaw to be found from head to toe; she was so perfect she hardly seemed mortal.

"Stop staring, stop staring! Hurry up and help our junior sister put on the wedding dress." Senior Sister Han was the first to snap out of it, shouting at the others. She even reached out and rapped each of them on the head. "Look at you all. Anyone who didn’t know better would think you were a pack of lecherous ghosts."

"But Senior Sister, you were the one staring the hardest just now..." a few of the junior sisters muttered under their breaths, looking down.

Nevertheless, they quickly picked up the red dress and, in a flurry of activity, helped Gui Junmeng put it on.

Then they had Gui Junmeng sit down before a silver mirror, where they earnestly combed her cloud-like hair and meticulously applied her delicate makeup, stroke by stroke.

Finally, when Gui Junmeng gently picked up a slip of red paper with her slender fingers and pressed it lightly between her lips, the moment that vivid rouge touched her delicate mouth, her senior and junior sisters felt their hearts tighten, their own pulses quickening uncontrollably.

Even though they were women themselves, they couldn’t help but feel a strange flutter in their hearts at that moment.

"Jun Meng, you... you’re so beautiful..." Junior Sister Yu murmured, staring blankly at Gui Junmeng’s reflection in the mirror, her eyes filled with awe and envy.

"That’s right, Senior Sister. You’re just too beautiful. In my whole life, I’ve never seen a woman as lovely as you," another junior sister couldn’t help but praise.

"Am I beautiful?" Gui Junmeng asked, looking at her reflection. Her long, curved lashes fluttered gently, like butterflies dancing among flowers.

"Of course you are! If you aren’t considered beautiful, then I’m afraid there are no beautiful women left in this world."

Senior Sister Han also nodded, extremely satisfied.

"They always say a red dress is a woman’s most beautiful attire, and seeing you today, it’s really true! But, Junior Sister, take a look at the dress and makeup yourself. Is there anything that needs adjusting?"

"I... I can’t really say..." Gui Junmeng shook her head. She had never paid much attention to things like clothes and makeup.

"Alright, in that case, we’ll just take the liberty of deciding for you."

Senior Sister Han understood. Jun Meng had worn nothing but Daoist Robes since she was a child and had never once worn makeup. Asking her for her own opinions on modifications would be putting her on the spot.

For the next hour or so, her senior and junior sisters had Gui Junmeng try various makeup styles. They also had her stand up and turn around repeatedly while they sketched the details of the wedding dress on a scroll.

However, no matter what clothes or accessories she wore, everything looked too perfect on Jun Meng.

This actually made it harder for Senior Sister Han and the others, as they had no idea where to even begin making changes.

"Alright, Jun Meng, just wait here in the courtyard for a bit. Don’t take off the wedding dress yet, and don’t wander off. We’re going to get some new jewelry for you to try on and see what suits you best," Senior Sister Han instructed Gui Junmeng carefully.

Gui Junmeng nodded lightly to show she understood, her eyes still holding an obedient look.

Before long, Senior Sister Han and the others departed, leaving Gui Junmeng sitting quietly in the courtyard alone, still in her wedding dress.

"Meow~"

Just as Gui Junmeng was waiting for her sisters to return, a soft meow sounded.

A calico cat, taking delicate steps, ambled into the courtyard.

This little she-cat had lived at the Seeking Immortal Temple for five or six years. Gui Junmeng and Xiao Mo often fed her, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Gui Junmeng bent down, picked up a piece of pastry from the stone table, and leaned over slightly to offer it to the cat.

The calico cat reached out a paw, pulled the pastry over, and finished it in just a few bites. It then leaped onto Gui Junmeng’s lap, curled up, and settled down comfortably.

Gui Junmeng reached out a small hand and gently stroked its soft fur.

In the young woman’s warm embrace, the calico cat yawned comfortably, licked its paws, and closed its eyes, looking drowsy.

But after a short while, the cat suddenly lifted its head, perked up its ears, and let out a "meow" toward the courtyard entrance.

Gui Junmeng followed its gaze and looked up. There, standing just outside the courtyard gate, was Xiao Mo, watching her with a calm expression.

Their eyes met. For a moment, neither spoke, a hint of romance hanging in the air between them.

"Just now... Senior Sister Han and the others brought the wedding dress over and told me to try it on," Gui Junmeng explained, taking the initiative to speak. As she spoke, she slowly lowered her head, her voice growing softer.

She couldn’t quite explain why she felt the need to offer that explanation.

She hadn’t felt anything in particular when her sisters were fussing over her in the room earlier.

But now, being seen by Xiao Mo like this while wearing the wedding dress, she couldn’t help but feel a faint sense of shyness bubble up inside her.

"I see," Xiao Mo said with a gentle nod. "Daoist Yun Xi recently acquired a Daoist Sect classic. He said it might be beneficial for you, so I brought it over. May I come in?"

"Mm," Gui Junmeng nodded lightly.

After receiving permission, Xiao Mo stepped into the young woman’s courtyard and gently placed the book in his hand on the stone table beside her.

"I have some other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any longer, Jun Meng." Xiao Mo bowed, then turned to leave.

"Xiao Mo..."

Just as Xiao Mo was about to leave, Gui Junmeng called out to him softly.

Xiao Mo turned back and looked at the woman before him, dressed in her wedding gown. He asked gently, "Is there something else, Jun Meng?"

Gui Junmeng lifted her head, her clear eyes looking directly at Xiao Mo. She asked softly, "Just now, my senior sister asked me if the dress and makeup needed any changes, but I couldn’t answer... Do you think... it looks beautiful?"

"It is," Xiao Mo said with a nod, his words completely sincere. "It’s truly beautiful."

Hearing Xiao Mo’s praise, Gui Junmeng couldn’t help but lower her head again, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks. Her voice was so soft it was as if she were afraid of startling something. "Th... thank you..."

"I’m only speaking the truth," Xiao Mo said with a faint smile. "I’ll be on my way now."

"Mm," Gui Junmeng replied softly, her bashfulness like that of a newlywed wife. "You... come back soon..."

Xiao Mo paused, slightly taken aback. Then he nodded and said softly, "Okay..."

A gentle breeze swept through, and Xiao Mo’s figure vanished from the young woman’s courtyard.

Gui Junmeng remained seated on the stone bench, her head lowered, gently stroking the calico cat in her lap.

"Little Calico... did you hear that?"

She looked at the little cat in her arms, her tone as gentle as a drifting cloud.

The young woman’s pink, delicate lips curved into a faint smile, like a narcissus flower quietly blooming in the spring breeze.

"He said..."

"I’m very beautiful..."
