Chapter 16: Brother, You Are So Superficial
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
“Yesterday!” Xiao Jing stroked at his chest in a sad manner. How could this be? When he was standing close to her yesterday, he could tell that all the parts of her body were real and that her perfect figure was absolutely not owed to bra pads. But who could tell him why her chest became flat again?!!!!!
Xiao Sa nodded blankly and said, “Looking at her, I suddenly feel like I had a dream last night.”
Tang Xi was already upstairs. She couldn’t help but giggle at hearing Xiao Sa’s words. “Hehe… Sa, you didn’t dream last night.”
“Were you the fake you last night?” Xiao Sa asked Tang Xi, staring at her face.
Hehe…
Tang Xi laughed out loud at Xiao Sa’s question. She looked nice with her smile and her eyes curved like crescents. She looked at Xiao Sa and said, “Sa, I was not fake. I just put on makeup and used more pads. You don’t actually think I’m in perfect shape, do you?”
Tang Xi grinned and touched Xiao Sa’s shoulder with hers as she asked, “Hey, Sa, so you volunteered to be my knight last night just because I was in great shape? When I don’t look beautiful like today, you’ll just give me the cold shoulder?”
Xiao Sa was speechless. It was true that he treated her gallantly last night because she was beautiful and in good shape… but he couldn’t admit it.
Before long, Xiao Sa, who always thought himself handsome, sexy and charming, was blushing…
Looking at the embarrassed Xiao Sa, Xiao Jing laughed and said mockingly, “Sa, you always said you hated superficial people. But it turns out that you are also superficial!”

Xiao Yao snorted. “You are both mean.”
“Hey!” Xiao Jing approached Xiao Yao, shaking his head and retorting, “Yao, you are wrong. I was with Rourou the entire time yesterday, and I enjoyed serving as her knight. Yao, you threw off your airs and accompanied her to walk the red carpet yesterday just because Rourou was so sparkling, right?”
The person being discussed raised her hand and reminded them in a low voice, “Jing, there wasn’t any red carpet.”
Xiao Jing rubbed at Tang Xi’s hair and said, “Why are you still standing here? You’ve just worked out and are sweating all over. Go take a shower and have breakfast!”
And then he continued to taunt Xiao Yao, “So, Yao, don’t pretend to be a tough guy. You can’t find a girlfriend if you keep being like this.”
Tang Xi returned to her room and took a shower. When she came out, Yang Jingxian had prepared her a dress and underwear. Surprised, Tang Xi took them into the bathroom and put them on. Yang Jingxian looked at her and said with a smile, “These clothes were sent here this morning. They’re a bit big for you. After breakfast, I’ll take you to buy some clothes. Let’s fill up your wardrobe.”
Tang Xi gladly accepted. After breakfast, the Xiao brothers went to work, as well as Xiao Hongli. Yang Jingxian took Tang Xi to a shopping mall.
Seeing that Yang Jingxian was taking her to a boutique, Tang Xi frowned and said to her, “Mom, I don’t think I should wear famous brands now. Those clothes are more of a lady-like and mature style. Didn’t you say that my school was going to open? Let’s go for some of the brands that high school students prefer. Those don’t really suit me right now, do they?”

Yang Jingxian hesitated for two seconds, during which Tang Xi had pulled her to a flagship store of ZWS. “High school students should wear these clothes, casual wear.”
Besides, with her boyish figure, she really was not suitable for Chanel or Dior, while a brand like ZWS was more suitable for her now. More importantly, clothes didn’t make a goddess. If you were a real goddess, you would never be ignored even if you were wearing a ragged outfit.
Seeing that the clothes here really suited Tang Xi, Yang Jingxian nodded and said, “Okay. If you like the clothes here, we can buy some and then look at other shops.”
As Yang Jingxian was in world-famous brands, and Tang Xi was also wearing a Chanel lady’s dress, the shop assistants were very enthusiastic towards them. Tang Xi had chosen more than ten sets of clothes in half an hour, and they left the shop fully loaded.
Afterwards, Yang Jingxian asked Tang Xi to choose some shoes. Tang Xi didn’t refuse going to the boutiques this time, as she believed that people should wear good shoes. She had always believed that good shoes would lead you to a better future.
They walked into a Gucci store and Tang Xi went to see the custom-made skater shoes. Suddenly, Tang Xi seemed to have thought of something. Taking a look at Yang Jingxian, who was choosing shoes for her, she asked the shop assistant standing beside her in a low voice, “I heard that the design director of your brand recently designed a pair of skater shoes. Do you have it in your store?”
The shop assistant looked at Tang Xi in astonishment. “Oh, Miss, this is only known by our staff. We haven’t disclosed this news. Only our design director’s best friends know about this. How do you know about it?”
Tang Xi smiled. As the man’s Muse, she had received his skater shoes, and he told her that the one she received was the first pair he made with his own hands. The shoes were really comfortable, but now she couldn’t go back to the capital to get them. She was in City A.
“It’s a secret.” Tang Xi looked at the shop assistant. “Do you have it here?”
The shop assistant smiled and nodded, replying, “Yes. There are only a limited 30 pairs of these shoes in the world. Our store’s sales volume ranks first in the country, so we got one. It just arrived today. Let me bring it to you now.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled as she said, “Thank you.”
Finally, there was something that connected her with her former identity.
At this time, Yang Jingxian came up with a pair of shoes and asked her, “Rourou, look at this pair of shoes. Do you like it?”
Tang Xi looked at the style and tried it on. “Quite good. I’ll take it.”
“What else do you like?” Seeing that the shoes she chose suited Tang Xi well, Yang Jingxian looked satisfied.
“Just now, the shop assistant told me they had a new pair of shoes very suitable for me. I want to take a look at it. The shop assistant is fetching it for me.”
Yang Jingxian nodded. “Let’s choose more shoes here. The shoes here look nicer than those of other shops.” She then turned around to choose more shoes.
The shop assistant came back soon.
Yang Jingxian was very satisfied with this pair of shoes. She asked the shop assistant to pack it and then she paid for it.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
