Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist - Chapter 278
“Let me take a look….yes….that’s right…..just this one too…..yeah! Perfect!”
Li Ming let out a deep sigh of relief when she finally got the green signal from the banshee who had been playing the role of her stylist of the day.
It was past four o’clock in the afternoon and barely two hours were left before the Golden Banquet was supposed to start officially.
She could feel nervousness settling inside the pit of her stomach when she thought about meeting Heaven Emperor’s mother and Wen Guiying’s elder sister at the banquet.
Even though she had already met the two women before for short moments but that realization did absolutely nothing to calm down her nerves.
“You are looking so pretty, Ming,” Mallow commented with sparkling eyes as she clapped her hands with excitement.
“This little fox is telling the truth. You are looking like a beautiful goddess right now. There’s no doubt you are going to blow away your mates’ minds.” Kara added as she fixed the diamond bracelet around Li Ming’s wrist.
After giving a lot of thought to the topic, Li Ming decided to not overdo her look for the Golden banquet.
It won’t look good on her part to glam up like a freaking princess while meeting her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
But since it was a grand banquet, she could not look too simple either. After all, she would be joining the banquet as the partner of her six handsome and powerful mates.
Rather than wearing a dress of the Immortal World, she decided to wear a gown. But a decent one that covered her body properly.
It was a light peach-colored gown with golden work on the neckline and left shoulder. The long fluffy skirt of the gown covered her five inches high heels.
Her long black and dark purple hair were curled and left loose. A pearl hairpin was attached on the left side of her head, giving her simple hairstyle a little boost.
The only jewelry that she wore was her dangling pearl earrings that reached her shoulders and the diamond bracelet that matched with her rings.
Her makeup was light and her overall look came out as elegant and pure.
A knock on her closet door disturbed the three of them as they turned to look at the person.
It was none other than Snowy who was standing there in an elegant white brocade robe with a single jade hairpin in his shoulder-length brown wavy hair.
“You are looking so pretty, Li,” Snowy commented as he walked closer to his master who was looking like a goddess at that moment.
“Oh my! Am I hearing things now? Or my little furball is actually complimenting me?” Li Ming could not help but tease her familiar.
“Ugh! I should have known better.” Snowy shook his head in a way that made him looked like he was totally disappointed with his master.
“Alright! I won’t tease you anymore. Promise!” Li Ming told him with sincerity filling her twinkling eyes.
“That’s good. But you know what, this get-up of yours is a little deceiving.” Snowy remarked as he assessed her from her to toe and back.
“Why? I mean, how?”
It was Mallow who asked the question. The little girl tried to follow Snowy’s idea as she too looked at her master to see if she could find the flaw.
On the other hand, both Li Ming and Kara were aware that the little brat was about to speak some utter nonsense.
A smirk appeared on Snowy’s face as he moved back a few steps and looked at Mallow first before turning his attention back at his master.
“Well, if she’s going to attend the banquet in this sweet and elegant looking get up, how can her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law would be able to see the crafty and evil woman that is hiding behind this facade? Come on, tell me!”
Snowy smirked as he winked at his Mallow before giving a huge smile to his Master.
“You stinky brat! You are totally hopeless!” Kara commented with a shake of her head.
“Alright! Let’s not waste anymore time. The Immortal Lords are waiting downstairs for her.” Snowy immediately tried to divert the attention of the ladies and it worked.
“Have a wonderful time tonight, dear. Who knows what’s gonna happen tomorrow?” Kara softly said to Li Ming with a soft smile that did not reach her eyes.
The way her voice sounded deep and heavy, made Li Ming stop in her tracks as she stared at the banshee.
For a moment, she almost considered that the banshee was giving her a heads-up. A signal that the coming day won’t be as good as the current day.
However, when she looked directly into Kara’s eyes, all that she found in them was happiness and pride.
It confused Li Ming more than she wanted to admit. Somehow she knew that those words of the banshee meant something.
“Come on, Li! Let’s not waste anymore time.”
Snowy decided to pull his master towards the door when she kept standing there like a statue.
“Have fun, Master.” Mallow shouted before she disappeared from the closet with a puff of white smoke.
Li Ming’s mind was still a mess as she descended the stairs. It was not until she felt Snowy nudging her with his elbow, did she turned her attention towards the handsome men who were standing in the center of her living room.
All her tensions and confusions disappeared as a huge smile appeared on her lips.
Snowy had already left, meaning that she was alone with her hot and adorable mates who were looking ethereal.
As she walked towards the six men, she let her eyes took in their forms, carving each of them in her memory.
And she knew that they were doing the exact same thing as she could feel the intensity of their gazes which were running all over her.
“You are looking so beautiful, Xingan.” Ruoshan whispered into her ear as soon as she reached their group.
One of his arms snaked around her waist, sending sweet tingles all over her body, as he moved to plant a soft kiss on her temple.
