Chapter 656: 658, take advantage (of an update)
Jian Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, hardly daring to believe that Chu Jin truly possessed the art of divination.
More likely, Chu Jin was using divination to convey information to the outside world.
After all, Chu Jin had spent so long a time with his master and madam.
She must know something.
Now that she had finally left the mountain, Chu Jin was naturally eager to get these messages out.
Anyway, Jian Yi felt that Chu Jin was not simply a fortune-teller; it was not that simple.
After all, she was not just a simple amnesiac; how could she possibly hold such a high-ranking and scarce position as a fortune-teller?
Towards Chu Jin, Jian Yi had never let down his guard.
What surprised Jian Yi even more was that Chu Jin’s skills were clearly very good, yet he couldn’t sense any aura of a special ability in her.
Even on Chu Jin’s person, not a trace of Spiritual Energy was visible.
No trace of Spiritual Energy was visible on her body.
Either she was an exceptional hermit, or she was an ordinary person without any spiritual roots.
But Chu Jin looked neither like an exceptional hermit nor like an ordinary person.
So her background had always been a mystery.
"Are you sure it’s just divination?" Jian Yi continued, "Nothing else has happened?"
The officer nodded, recalling the scenes when he was surveilling Chu Jin, "Yes, other than divination, she returns to the inn. No other anomalies were found," saying this, the officer scratched his head, then added, "Sir, I think you might be overthinking it. Miss Chu is just an ordinary resident."
The officer was also captivated by Chu Jin’s beauty, so subconsciously, he spoke in defense of Chu Jin.
In the eyes of the public in the Superpower World, beauty equals goodness.
As long as one is beautiful, no matter how serious the error, they can be forgiven.
Jian Yi knew what these people were like and said with some impatience, "You may go."
"Yes!" The officer saluted Jian Yi and then turned and left.
Just as the officer was about to walk out the door, Jian Yi, as if remembering something, called out to the soldier’s retreating figure, "Wait a moment..."
The officer immediately turned around, "Sir, do you have any other orders?"
"Send me her current whereabouts." Jian Yi said this while he picked up his coat from the hanger, put it on, and turned to walk out the door.
He must see for himself what the hell Chu Jin was up to!
Divination?
How could that be?
He really thought anyone could become a fortune-teller?
After Jian Yi left, the officer immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket and sent Chu Jin’s current location to Jian Yi.
And so,
when Jian Yi arrived at the clothing store, he saw Chu Jin coming out of the fitting room, having changed her clothes.
That instant.
All was silent.
It was as if everything around had come to a halt.
Jian Yi could only hear his own heartbeat.
The white dress was ethereal and exuded a certain temperament; it was not easy to pull off such an effect.
Especially since white is a very demanding color, paired with such a unique design, someone of slightly lower innate quality would not be able to carry such a gown.
It required not only extreme beauty in appearance but also an innate gracefulness to hold it down.
Otherwise, it would backfire.
Yet, this dress on Chu Jin, it was as if it were tailor-made for her, so beautiful... it was breathtaking.
The over-the-knee white dress with off-shoulder design perfectly highlighted her elegantly curved and delicate collarbone, her skin was like creamy jade, white with a blush of red, any longer would be too much, any shorter would not suffice; applying powder would be too pale, adding rouge would be too red, her entire person was so flawless it was hard to find a single fault.
If one had not seen it with their own eyes, nobody would believe that such a perfect person could exist in the world.
Even the surrounding sales clerks were full of astonishment.
This customer before them was definitely the most beautiful one they had seen, standing there in front of the fitting mirror, the clerks even felt an urge to kneel before her.
Both charm and beauty coexisted.
Like a queen high above, looking down upon all living beings.
One of the clerks came back to her senses, walked to Chu Jin, suppressed the slightly excited emotion in her heart, and asked cautiously.
"Miss, this dress fits you perfectly. May I ask... would you like us to wrap it up for you?"
Chu Jin looked at herself in the mirror and replied, "Sure."
Young girls...
All love beauty.
Moreover, the dress suited her so well.
Chu Jin liked this dress very much.
"What’s wrong with you? How can you let this kind of person wear this dress?" At that moment, an unpleasant female voice filled the air.
It was furious, extremely sharp, as if looking down on everyone, not considering anyone on her level.
Chu Jin looked up faintly and saw a young woman walking over, arm in arm with a middle-aged lady.
The young woman appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, with delicate features and a slender figure, a beauty in the making. Moreover, Chu Jin felt, whether it was a delusion or not, that at first glance, the woman bore some resemblance to herself.
But upon closer inspection, they weren’t that similar.
The purity was missing in her eyes.
One could tell from her gaze that she was a deeply scheming woman, not easy to like.
The lady by the young woman’s side, however, looked quite kindly, even giving Chu Jin a strange sense of familiarity.
Who exactly was she?
Chu Jin slightly furrowed her brows, a trace of confusion flashed through her lowered eyes.
These two were none other than Luo Yu and Zhao Yan.
Strangely, upon seeing Chu Jin, Zhao Yan had no special reaction, simply feeling that the young girl was particularly pleasing to her eyes.
She took a liking to this young girl at once.
Luo Yu’s gaze was sharp as she looked towards Chu Jin, her eyes as if wanting to engulf Chu Jin alive.
"Why can’t I wear this dress if I want to buy it?" Chu Jin slowly lifted her chin, her eyes dazzling with light, gazing at Luo Yu like a queen, not a bit intimidated in front of the richly adorned Luo Yu.
In the presence of Chu Jin, whose aura was fully unleashed, Luo Yu seemed to have lost any similarity to her.
Before Chu Jin, Luo Yu was like a dim star obscured by the moon.
Inconspicuous and dull.
In that moment, Luo Yu sensed a feeling of crisis.
The girl in front of her.
Was too beautiful.
Beautiful to the point of making one jealous.
How could such a person exist in the world? How could she be born so beautiful? What if she came to compete with her for Mo Zhixuan? Luo Yu would not allow any other woman’s brilliance to overshadow her own!
All women who were more beautiful than her were her adversaries.
Especially since Chu Jin had put on this dress!
Just ten minutes ago, Luo Yu had also taken a liking to this dress and wanted to try it on, but the sales staff had said it was not for sale, no matter how much money was offered.
They wouldn’t even let her try it on.
Seeing that the sales staff wouldn’t budge, Luo Yu had no choice but to pull rank by claiming her identity as the young mistress of the Chu Family and Mo Zhixuan’s fiancée, attempting to intimidate them.
However, the sales staff didn’t care at all about Luo Yu’s status.
They said that rules were rules, and even if Mo Zhixuan himself came, they would not change their policy.
Luo Yu had also realized that this boutique must have had a powerful backing.
So, helplessly, Luo Yu had to painfully give it up.
But then, after visiting many other boutiques, she still hadn’t found one she liked.
That’s just how people are.
Once they’ve seen the most beautiful thing, even the slightly less beautiful loses its appeal.
Luo Yu only had eyes for this dress; she believed that only this dress was worthy of her noble and elegant temperament.
But who would have thought.
When she returned, someone else was wearing the dress she liked!
Wasn’t it non-saleable?
Didn’t they say no trying on?
At the time, they wouldn’t even let her touch the dress.
It was as if they were afraid she might ruin it!
But now.
This dress was on another woman!
And, what’s crucial is that this woman was more beautiful than her.
How could Luo Yu swallow that?
This woman was alone, without even an assistant by her side; she clearly looked like a mere commoner.
The sales staff were truly blind to talent.
Rather give the dress to a lowly person to try on than to her, the ninth lady of the Superpower World!
Did they not realize how noble her identity was?
What good was it to them to ingratiate themselves with a lowly woman?
Birds of a feather flock together, after all!
Lowly people only fit in with others of low status.
The sales staff weren’t of high status either.
What Luo Yu didn’t know was.
This store has always had a very strange rule: non-sale items were not that they couldn’t be sold, but rather they were only sold to those with high attractiveness and a strong aura, who could match the dress.
Having seen many beauties, the sales staff were unimpressed by Luo Yu’s average talents, plain looks, and her entitled behavior; obviously, she didn’t qualify for the dress.
Besides beauty.
Manners and upbringing are also extremely important.
Luo Yu was lacking in looks, features, and manners.
Chu Jin was different.
Even if Chu Jin only had a dollar on her, they would still sell the dress to her.
After all, beauty can be contagious.
And beauty is priceless.
"Take it off at once," Luo Yu looked coldly at Chu Jin, "and look at yourself! What makes you think you’re worthy of this dress?"
"Miss Luo," a tall sales clerk approached Luo Yu with a serious expression, "I am sorry, but our shop is too modest to accommodate such an illustrious presence as yours. Please leave immediately. Also, please refrain from making offensive remarks to our esteemed customers or making personal attacks. Thank you for your cooperation."
With that, the sales clerk made a "please" gesture towards Luo Yu, her attitude resolute.
Luo Yu was livid!
Esteemed customers?
What kind of esteemed customer was that woman of unknown origin?
Clearly, she, the ninth lady, was the real esteemed customer!
Did these lowly sales staff not have eyes?
A mere clerk dared to speak to her like that!
Truly presumptuous!
They didn’t consider their status or hers! She was about to become the ninth lady, the most revered woman across three realms, a role model for all women.
Unbelievable.
Luo Yu’s fingertips trembled with anger.
"How dare you speak to me like this! Do you know who I am? Go call your boss right now! I want to ask him how he trains his staff! Is this how you treat customers?"
As she spoke, Luo Yu turned her gaze towards Chu Jin, continuing, "And you! Are you deaf? Take off the dress right now! Look at yourself. What makes you think you’re fit to wear this dress? A lowly wretch!"
In Luo Yu’s eyes, all others were vastly inferior to her; she was the noblest, while everyone else was the lowest dregs of society.
A lowly wretch?
Chu Jin’s lips curved into a slight smile.
She had thought the Superpower World was filled with good people, but she hadn’t expected there to be so many degenerates.
Disgusting lowlifes like Luo Yu obviously had an itch that needed scratching.
Did she really think that having a somewhat special status meant she could act all high and mighty?
In need of a lesson.
So arrogant and unchallenged.
She must have never encountered anyone formidable, had she?
Chu Jin chuckled lightly, lifting her eyes to meet Luo Yu’s, with a gleam at the bottom of her gaze, she spoke in a soft tone.
"Ma’am, I see darkness at your brow and a greenish hue on your face. Your blood circulation is poor, your eyes lifeless, you suffer from insomnia and frequent dreams, you have aches in your limbs—could it be menopause? In a public place, can’t you keep your emotions in check? Should you frighten the young ones around or harm the plants and flowers, could you bear the responsibility for that?"
