Dragon's Origin

Chapter 400: The Reason for Seeking Shelter (Part 2)

Of course, everything is only temporary. With the strength of a Legendary Realm expert, as long as they adapt for a year or two, they can completely become a true Legendary Realm master and live freely.

The problem is, for more than sixty years, she has been accustomed to a quiet life under the protection of the Triumph Palace. Even when the Triumph Palace enfeoffed nobles and established states, sidelining Tantai Yao to an idle position, Tantai Yao did not resist but chose to endure. This was certainly related to the fact that Tantai Yao had not yet obtained the power of the Legendary Realm, but it was also inseparable from her desire for a stable life.

Now that the Triumph Palace has been destroyed and divided, if Tantai Yao still wants to live a stable, peaceful, and wealthy life, she probably has to find another expert with sufficient strength and wealth to stand behind her.

Tantai Yao is beautiful, has a good figure, and her temperament is attractive enough. The problem is, she is already sixty-five years old. Those who know her inside story either covet her flesh for a novelty or have ulterior motives and will not sincerely accept her or trust her.

Therefore, after much consideration, the various feudal lords are definitely out of the question, and the Emperor is even more impossible. Those big merchants meet her conditions, but which shrewd businessman would accept her purely for her beauty? They would definitely exploit her in various ways. After thinking it over, perhaps only Wang Sheng, this rising star, best meets her requirements and is most likely to accept her.

"Understood!" Wang Sheng smiled at Tantai Yao, "Senior, feel free to stay at the Marquis's residence, be with Sister Qiangwei, do whatever you want, and treat this place like home."

It's easy to talk to smart people. Tantai Yao nodded and smiled at Wang Sheng, then turned to Sister Qiangwei, "Qiangwei, the Marquis is generous, so don't hide anymore."

Sister Qiangwei agreed, and then, to Wang Sheng and Meier's puzzled eyes, she said to Meier, "Please, Madam, prepare a room for me to wash my face and put on makeup."

Wang Sheng looked at Meier, Tantai Yao, and Sister Qiangwei as they went to the back room, completely puzzled. However, it's best not to be present when women are washing and putting on makeup. This is common etiquette, and Wang Sheng didn't make such an outrageous mistake, sitting and waiting quietly.

"Ah! How can this be? So amazing! Use this… this looks good, this color looks good… wear this!"

Even through several rooms, Wang Sheng could hear Meier's voice clearly. He could hear clearly as the three women washed their faces, combed their hair, put on makeup, and changed clothes in the back room. In the process, Meier's voice was interspersed from time to time, initially surprised, then amazed, and later giving suggestions, sounding very happy.

It took a full half an hour before Wang Sheng heard the sound of the three slowly walking out. In such a long time, Wang Sheng had changed three pots of tea.

Hearing the footsteps that had reached the door, Wang Sheng looked up and then suddenly widened his eyes.

There were three people. Meier and Tantai Yao had not changed, still looking the same as when they had left. However, Sister Qiangwei, who had always been a middle-aged woman, had turned into a charming and almost ripe woman, looking at most to be in her early twenties.

The eyes were still Sister Qiangwei's eyes, the nose hadn't changed, and the mouth was the same, but her cheeks were much thinner. Before, she had a slightly chubby and wrinkled round face, but now it had become a standard oval face. It seemed that she had used some kind of disguise to fill it before, and the wrinkles on her face had disappeared, making it exceptionally smooth.

Under Meier's guidance, Sister Qiangwei put on a little light makeup and changed into a plain dress, no longer looking dusty. Her hairstyle had also changed, no longer the casual bun she had in Worry-Free City, but a style that perfectly matched her current face shape.

Not only were there changes on her face and head, but even Sister Qiangwei's waist seemed to have become much thinner, so slender that it could be held in a single grasp. Her chest was full, though not as much as Meier's, but still very majestic. As she walked, she was no longer the vulgar woman from the killer hall in Worry-Free City, but a well-educated lady from a wealthy family.

In just one hour, Sister Qiangwei had transformed from a middle-aged confidante into a young woman who looked at least a dozen years younger.

Back on Earth, Wang Sheng had seen this magical makeup technique of transforming people on some video websites. He never expected that in the Yuanshi world, it would actually happen live in front of Wang Sheng.

No wonder, Sister Qiangwei is Tantai Yao's disciple, how could she be the kind of unkempt common woman? This was just a disguise she used in Worry-Free City, which is perfectly normal.

"Sister Qiangwei is so beautiful!" Wang Sheng sincerely praised. After praising, he saw the expressions of Meier and Tantai Yao and immediately added, "Meier and Senior Tantai are also peerless beauties, I am fortunate to have such a sight." The two great beauties immediately smiled, making them even more pleasing to the eye.

"No need to call me Senior anymore, just call me Sister Tantai." Tantai Yao is old but not old at heart. Hearing Wang Sheng still calling her Senior, she immediately corrected him.

"Sister Tantai!" Wang Sheng followed suit and immediately changed his address. For Wang Sheng, there are no such rigid and dogmatic ethics of rulers, subjects, teachers, and disciples. He can call her whatever he wants.

"Sister Qiangwei is so beautiful, how could you bear to be disheveled in Worry-Free City for so many years?" Wang Sheng invited the three beauties to sit down again before curiously asking, "If it were Meier, she would definitely refuse to look like that."

Meier nodded不停地点头不停地 in agreement, completely agreeing with Wang Sheng's opinion.

"Alas! Qiangwei has suffered for more than ten years." Tantai Yao sighed and explained to Wang Sheng, "Actually, Qiangwei stayed in Worry-Free City for so many years because of my orders. It can be regarded as leaving a way out for us, master and disciple! Now it has indeed come in handy."

Twenty years ago, Tantai Yao had already noticed an uneasy atmosphere spreading throughout the Triumph Palace. At that time, the Triumph Palace was still a secluded sect, but the Palace Master and several elders seemed to have greater ambitions. Realizing that something was wrong, Tantai Yao began to slowly arrange her own escape route.

Sister Qiangwei was sent to Worry-Free City under Tantai Yao's arrangement, where she stayed for more than ten years, from a little girl in her teens pretending to be mature to Sister Qiangwei混迹市井中的蔷薇姐 in the market.

Tantai Yao didn't hide anything. The escape route she found back then was the Lord of Worry-Free City. Once something happened to the Triumph Palace, Tantai Yao planned to immediately join the Lord of Worry-Free City. However, Wang Sheng's sudden rise a few years ago, becoming more and more powerful, famous, and developing stronger and stronger, made Tantai Yao feel that she had a better choice.

The reason for choosing Wang Sheng was actually related to Meier. Sister Qiangwei was very clear about Wang Sheng's help to Meier, which also made Tantai Yao realize that Wang Sheng was relatively more humane, and it would be more comfortable to cooperate with such a person.
