Chapter 140: Taking You on a Tour of My Farm

Bai Wei sat down in front of the vanity.

Xiao Moting had sent so many things; one look was enough to see his sincerity was overflowing.

How could she let down his heartfelt intentions?

The items Xiao Moting sent were all ancient cosmetics.

Bai Wei did not know how to use them.

But that did not matter.

She opened her phone, found a video of a beauty blogger doing an antique-style makeup look, and clicked on it.

Bai Wei placed her phone by the vanity and, following the beauty blogger's makeup tutorial, began to groom and dress herself step by step.

She first picked up a seashell containing Pearl Powder, which was the "foundation" ancient women used to coat their faces and brighten their complexions.

Bai Wei gently patted the Pearl Powder onto her face, then picked up the Eyebrow Powder, lightly dipped a brow brush into it, and swept it across her brows.

She picked up the Lip Rouge, Rouge, and Face Cream in turn... and carefully applied them.

The effect of these ancient cosmetics was far inferior to modern ones, but Bai Wei applied them very earnestly, without the slightest slack.

Xiao Moting was a man and did not understand women's makeup; he must have put a lot of thought into buying so many things and sending her a complete set.

After finishing her makeup, Bai Wei opened a video on hair braiding and followed it to style a simple Han Dynasty Hanging Bun.

This hairstyle was one of the simpler ones among those worn by ancient women.

Xiao Moting had sent dozens of pieces of Jewelry, each one exquisite, including hairpins, rings, and earrings.

Bai Wei picked up a White Jade Butterfly Tassel Step-shake and gently pinned it into her hair.

Finally, she chose a long white dress to wear, then stood in front of the mirror.

The mirror reflected a cold and elegant ancient woman with delicate features and apricot eyes as bright as stars; she wore no excessive accessories, yet this only highlighted a natural, unadorned beauty, like a lotus rising from clear water.

Even Bai Wei, standing before the mirror, had not expected that the effect of her wearing ancient attire would be so beautiful.

The hair accessories Xiao Moting sent perfectly matched her temperament, and the dress he sent also fit her extremely well, as if it had been tailored to her measurements.

Bai Wei mounted her phone onto a phone stand and took a few selfies.

Then, she picked up her phone and walked into the courtyard.

Since Xiao Moting had sent her so many gifts, she also wanted to return a surprise to him.

Just as Bai Wei was taking selfies with her phone, the gate of the Farm was pushed open.

Zhou Yuchuan walked in.

"Bai Wei, the Museum Curator asked me to bring you the... for the Antique Exhibition."

Before he could finish his sentence, he froze.

In the peach orchard, a woman in white was turning her head to look at him.

The morning peach orchard was still floating with a layer of lingering morning mist.

The hazy, gauze-like white mist swirled around her, making her figure appear and disappear.

The woman's face was cold and stunningly beautiful, her white clothes like snow, her dark hair like a waterfall; as she turned to look back, her eyes were clear, and tiny droplets of mist clung to her long, slender eyelashes.

Zhou Yuchuan gazed at her, his mind going completely blank.

He even forgot the words he had just intended to say.

It was not until Bai Wei's voice reached his ears that he snapped back to reality.

Bai Wei had already walked up to him, her cheeks flushed with a faint rosy glow.

"Professor Zhou, why are you here?"

She felt a bit embarrassed and tucked a strand of hair that had slipped to her ear.

She had dressed like this and was taking selfies, but she had forgotten to lock the Farm gate and had been caught by Zhou Yuchuan.

Zhou Yuchuan reacted quickly, and his expression immediately returned to normal.

He handed over the materials in his hand.

"The Antique Exhibition is next week. The Museum Curator asked me to bring you these materials; they contain the time, location, and a detailed introduction to the exhibition."

"The museum will book the flight tickets, and we will go to Yanjing together."

Bai Wei blushed and reached out to take the materials.

"Thank you."

After saying that, she explained with embarrassment.

"I, well, I had nothing to do, so I was just taking some selfies in the Farm."

Zhou Yuchuan smiled slightly.

"It's fine, you look very beautiful."

"I won't disturb you any further; we'll be in touch."

After saying this, he turned and walked out of the Farm gate.

Closing the gate, Zhou Yuchuan's indifferent, ripple-free gaze immediately became sharp.

Bai Wei and Daliang must have a close connection!

Before, he had only suspected it.

But now, he was certain.

Because Bai Wei, dressed in ancient attire, was peerlessly beautiful and looked exactly like the "Jiutian Xuannü" portrait in the Zhenbei King Tomb.

Regardless of her appearance, hairstyle, or clothing... even the White Jade Butterfly Tassel Step-shake in her hair was exactly the same!

The real her was even more beautiful than the "Daliang Goddess" in the portrait.

Bai Wei was the "Goddess" of the Daliang Kingdom from a thousand years ago.

Zhou Yuchuan closed his eyes and let out a soft breath; the corners of his eyes were slightly damp, his expression a mix of sorrow and joy.

Because of the curse, countless people of the Zhou Family have died.

Every generation of Zhou Family descendants cannot live past the age of thirty.

This is the Zhou Family's curse, and also the Zhou Family's blood and tears.

Perhaps this time, the curse that has bound the Zhou Family for thousands of years can finally find an answer.

As soon as Zhou Yuchuan left, Bai Wei hurriedly sent the Tablet to Xiao Moting.

It was truly so embarrassing.

She had been taking selfies and striking a few poses, only to be caught red-handed by Zhou Yuchuan.

Fortunately, he had good manners and didn't say anything more.

……

Inside the Northern Frontier Camp.

Xiao Moting had already received the Tablet sent by Bai Wei.

"Xiao Moting, I took selfies on the Tablet. My selfie skills aren't very good, so you aren't allowed to laugh at me."

He held the Tablet, his mood incomparably joyful.

His hands had wielded the sharpest Long Sword and killed the most ferocious enemy troops, yet at this moment, these hands were actually trembling slightly.

Finally, he was about to see Shennü Daren.

For countless nights, Xiao Moting had traced her appearance in his dreams, imagining what she might look like.

Now, her appearance was right before his eyes.

The Prince of Zhenbei, who had commanded thousands of troops and faced tens of thousands of enemy soldiers without changing his expression, had become as nervous as a green youth.

Sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart was thumping wildly.

What... would Bai Wei look like?

Xiao Moting swallowed hard, gathered his courage, and opened the Tablet.

In an instant!

He held his breath, staring blankly at the young girl on the screen.

She was even more beautiful than he had imagined!

Xiao Moting flipped through them one by one.

Every single photo of Bai Wei was so beautiful.

There was one of her standing in a peach blossom grove, smiling at him...

There was also one of her sitting on the grass, head lowered in deep thought...

Xiao Moting examined every photo carefully.

He couldn't even bear to blink, afraid of missing a single detail.

His heartbeat unconsciously grew faster and faster, and a faint red flush spread across his handsome face.

She was truly beautiful, her smile bright and lovely, as if a beam of sunlight had dispelled the gloom in his heart!

However, there were only a few photos on the Tablet, and he finished flipping through them quickly.

Xiao Moting felt a bit disappointed, still wanting more.

He intended to look through them again, but just then, he noticed a small USB Flash Drive in the cabinet.

He had been too excited earlier and hadn't noticed the USB Flash Drive.

Xiao Moting picked up the USB Flash Drive and plugged it into the Projector.

A video suddenly popped up on the white screen.

"Xiao Moting, it's so nice to meet you!"

Bai Wei smiled brightly at the camera and waved her hand.

She was sitting in a room, her smile bright and lovely.

"You sent me so much beautiful Jewelry and dresses, and they all fit perfectly. So, I want to give you a special gift too—to take you on a tour of the place where I live, which is the Farm!"
