The End Times as a Song

Chapter 174 Dressing up

The maid made a sarcastic remark about Li Luo, and Li Luo swiftly drew her sword, her cherry-red spear instantly pressed against the head maid's neck: "What's your name? Who taught you to talk to me like that?"

Bai Ling, with an attitude of neither servility nor arrogance and fearlessness, said: "This servant is Bai Ling. This servant dares not. Please, young master, do not make things difficult for this servant."

Li Luo wasn't buying it and retorted sharply, "So what if I say I'm going to make things difficult for you?"

Lan Zhou suddenly burst in, interrupting Li Luo's cherry blossom spear with a spell, and shouted at Li Luo: "How dare you, Li Luo! What do you want now? Release Bai Ling at once...!"

Li Luo cried out unwillingly, "Mother!"

Lan Zhou bowed to Bai Ling: "Miss Bai Ling, I apologize for making you laugh."

Bai Ling revealed a triumphant smile: "It's alright, Clan Chief Lan. I'll leave Young Master Li Luo to you. The auspicious time cannot be delayed."

Lan Zhou echoed, "Miss Bai Ling is right. Since it's a problem on our side, let us solve it on our side."

After saying that, Lan Zhou turned around and cast a spell on Li Luo, binding her up. Li Luo, unwilling to accept this, struggled and continued to ask, "Mother, are you really going to marry me off to the Bai family?"

Lan Zhou replied expressionlessly, "Li Luo, don't forget, this is something you promised me."

Li Luo was still unwilling to give up. She looked at Lan Zhou, trying to gain his sympathy, "Mother, you know perfectly well that I...?"

"Shut up...!" But Lan Zhou didn't fall for her tricks at all, and turned around to cast a spell to shut Li Luo up.

Li Luo struggled to hold back her tears. She was at her wit's end. She thought to herself, "Ayan, will you come to save me? Will you come back to save me?"

Li Luo desperately wanted Tu Shan Yan to appear before her. But as great her hope was, so too was her disappointment; Tu Shan Yan never showed up.

Lan Zhou shouted, "Someone, help Young Master Li Luo with her makeup and clothes."

Qing Chong entered with two maids.

Qing Chong helped Li Luo, who was bound, to her feet. Cat Eyes said with concern, "Young Master, don't blame the clan leader. We'll help you wash up and change."

Li Luo suddenly lost her spirit, becoming like a puppet on strings, listless and lifeless.

Seeing that Li Luo had stopped struggling, Bai Ling relaxed, as she had completed half of her task. "Clan Chief Lan, Li Luo is, after all, the young mistress of our Bai family. Changing clothes in public like this is just making us a laughingstock..."

Lan Zhou didn't understand Bai Ling's meaning and continued to ask, "What does Miss Bai Ling mean...?"

Bai Ling glanced at Lan Zhou and said meaningfully, "Let's go outside and wait! Anyway, Young Master Li Luo can't escape today."

Lan Zhou glanced at Li Luo, relieved, and said to Bai Ling, "Miss Bai Ling is so thoughtful. Please, Miss Bai Ling."

Lan Zhou left Li Luo's boudoir with Bai Ling. She glanced back at Li Luo, still a little worried.

Qing Chong, accompanied by two maids, helped Li Luo wash up, change clothes, and do her makeup.

In no time, Li Luo seemed like a completely different person. Dressed in a wedding gown and wearing a phoenix crown, she was as beautiful as a fairy, delicate and gorgeous, breathtakingly beautiful.

Qing Chong said to Li Luo, "Young Master Li Luo, it's time. We should get into the bridal sedan chair now."

Li Luo couldn't speak at all; she could only stare blankly at her unfamiliar reflection in the mirror.

Qing Chong continued to persuade him: "Young Master, think positively. It is a great joy for our One-Tailed Clan to form a marriage alliance with the Nine-Tailed Clan. Don't be so gloomy, Young Master."
