So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests

Chapter 191: The Power of the Law of Beauty

A sea of flashing lights illuminated the night as if it were daytime.

The crowd's clamor surged like a flood.

At the moment when the white carriage door slowly opened, a piercing scream that seemed to shatter the sky ignited the atmosphere to its peak.

"Hmm? Why isn't it Miss Janna getting off?"

Watching Julie Anne alight from the carriage, Celine couldn't hide her disappointment.

"Have a bit of patience, intern."

Hearing Celine's complaint, Matthew, who was still holding up the camera, kept his eyes fixed on the white carriage not far away.

"Didn't you notice the commotion at the entrance of the Bauhinia Auction House?"

As Matthew said, without realizing it, many people had started to emerge from the entrance of the Bauhinia Auction House, which had been cordoned off to separate the crowd.

Among them were David Berg and several others who had just stepped down from the carriage.

"Could it be—"

"Look, it's really Miss Janna!"

Before Celine could react, a trembling scream pulled her attention back.

Almost instinctively, without seeing the figure clearly, Celine immediately aimed the camera at the white carriage, not daring to blink.

The cold wind howled, carrying scattered snowflakes.

During the three-hour wait, Celine, who should have been shivering from the cold, seemed to forget the chill at this moment. She even forgot to press the shutter button in her hand.

"Janna, watch your step."

"Thank you."

With Julie Anne's careful support, Janna, wearing the most appropriate smile, slowly stepped down from the carriage.

Her slender neck, porcelain-like skin, and a water-blue gown that swayed like a mermaid's tail—

At the moment she saw Janna, Celine, who always prided herself on her eloquence, found herself at a loss for words.

It seemed that all adjectives describing beauty became pale and powerless at this moment.

Like stars in the night sky, no matter how bright they shine, they all become mere foils when the moon appears.

Just like now, the previously noisy street seemed to have been paused the moment Janna appeared. Read complete versıon only at novel~fire~net

Except for the rapid breathing and intense heartbeat, everyone's ears seemed deafened,

Unable to hear any other sound.

【Law of Beauty: Beauty of Appearance】

Physical appearance fades, but beauty endures;

Every smile is extraordinary.

Even with the most superficial application of the power of the 【Fragment of the Law of Beauty】, Janna, who possessed 【Extraordinary Charm】, achieved a sensational effect of "beauty as a weapon" at this moment.

The power of the mind is omnipresent, and the 【Law of Beauty】 excels at striking directly at the soul.

All those affected by the 【Law of Beauty】 would unconsciously "adore" Janna from the bottom of their hearts.

This "adoration" was free of desire, interest, or any negative emotions.

It was the purest love for "beauty" under objective laws by all beings capable of discerning and perceiving beauty.

Though a thousand people might have a thousand standards of beauty, at this moment, all those influenced by the 【Law of Beauty】 would have a unanimous perception of Janna's "Beauty of Appearance."

This feeling struck the soul and left an indelible mark.

Unlike the 【Law of Love】, which entangles desire and drives lovers to madness and self-sacrifice, the 【Law of Beauty】 merely dissipated all hostility, leaving only heartfelt "adoration."

"Click—"

With a crisp shutter sound, it was as if the grayish-white scene suddenly regained its color. The previously frozen crowd returned to their senses at this moment.

Shutter sounds, flashes, shouts, and discussions—the once quiet street resumed its bustling state.

"Miss Janna, please look this way!"

"Miss Janna, please smile at me!"

"Miss Janna—"

Like others, Celine, who occupied the best front-row position, also called out Janna's name almost pleadingly, hoping to capture a first-person photo of Janna looking at the camera.

"Did you get the shot?"

"Master, I got it!"

Hearing Matthew's question, Celine's eyes still followed Janna's departing figure, her voice trembling with excitement.

"I mean the moment she got off the carriage."

"Ah, at that moment, I was too excited—I didn't get it."

The thrill and shock of seeing Janna in person for the first time still made Celine's heart race uncontrollably.

Not just her, everyone present was in a state of mental shutdown at that moment, unable to take photos.

"I didn't get it either."

Celine, who felt slightly guilty, widened her eyes in disbelief upon hearing Matthew's response.

"If even a master like you didn't get it, I feel much better."

After all, Matthew was the chief reporter of the Turin Daily. Besides his unique news insights, his photography skills were enough to amaze professional photographers.

Usually, it was only a matter of whether Matthew wanted to take a photo, not whether he could.

"These materials are sufficient—the next step is to photograph the auction house's interior."

With all the guests having made their appearances, the onlookers who were merely there for the excitement and the reporters with work purposes could now enter the public hall to observe the auction.

This time, the Bauhinia Auction House invited Turin reporters not only to create buzz for the opening ceremony but also to use the media to promote the auction house's heritage and strength.

After all, no matter how grand the opening ceremony was, it was merely a means to attract public attention in the early stages.

To truly establish a foothold in Turin, the Bauhinia Auction House's core competitiveness lay in the upcoming auction items.

"Janna, you look truly beautiful today."

Watching Janna slowly enter the hall, David Berg and others waiting at the entrance couldn't help but express their admiration again.

Unlike Anna Moonshadow's sexy black slit gown, Janna's attire was a slightly more elaborate and luxurious water-blue long dress.

To match Janna's current role in "Song of the Ocean," Julie Anne specially used shell-shaped pearl hair accessories to adorn her updo.

Even the eyeshadow chosen had a pearlescent hue.

However, these makeup designs seemed insignificant in the face of Janna's absolute beauty.
