Chapter 146: Xi Moongqing (7)
A woman dressed in fine silk clothes climbed the mountain path of Mount Wu.
It wasn’t quite the appropriate attire for this season.
High-quality winter clothes were typically made of silk varieties called dan or ju, woven to be loose and untwisted even when filled with cotton.
However, the finest silk was called jin, which was thin, airy, and soft. Even with a little cotton stuffing, it would puff up and crease in a flat pattern, making it suitable for wearing only in spring and autumn at best, even with good care.
The woman was dressed in clothes made of this jin.
As for her adornments, she had put so much effort into them that her hair was twisted and filled with gold ornaments, her skin was painted white with good powder, her eyes were surrounded with purple pigment, and her lips were painted bright red with cinnabar.
However, the woman’s natural features were already extremely alluring, so the added adornments made her overflow with a bewitching sensuality.
Thus, when the woman appeared in front of the Divine Maiden Sect’s signboard, the Second-Grade disciples on guard duty at the main gate swallowed hard.
It was clearly not attire for visiting a Daoist temple.
Moreover, if she was a visitor arriving at lunchtime, she should have shown some apologetic or urgent expression for the rudeness, but there was none of that either.
The two disciples exchanged glances.
Senior Sister, a seductress, extreme under the heavens, has appeared. What should we do?
