After one and a half-day of traveling, they finally arrived in HuangWu. They checked to the last inn they passed by to prepare things for their plan. They wanted to lure the demon by disguising Zi Xin and Yong Jie as maidens. Yong Jie volunteered because he didn't want Zi Xin to be alone. It would be suspicious for a lady traveling alone without a companion or a maid-servant. Zi Xin gave Yong Jie a bright pink robe and he felt so excited to see Yong Jie wearing the robe. Zi Xin was also responsible for their make up. Yong Jie helplessly looked at the robe then to Yao Xue. "Do you think I will look beautiful in this robe?" Yong Jie grinned. Yong Jie heard Yong Xian laughed but he doesn't care about his big brother's reaction, he was interested only in Yao Xue. "Hnn." Yao Xue just hummed making Yong Jie pout but Yao Xue still agreed that he would look beautiful making him chuckle. Zi Xin pulled Yong Jie inside the screen that separates the bed and the living area of the room to dress up. Zi Xin didn't need to change dress, of course, since light-colored robes were his day to day get up. Yong Jie silently undressed his black robes and put on the pink robes. He laughed feeling how light the fabrics compared to his black robes and it was comfortable despite the feminine color. Yao Xue and Yong Xian on the other side was curious about the two who were laughing inside the screen. "Is it really necessary?" Yong Jie asked Zi Xin who was preparing the rouges and other makeup materials. "If you want to completely fool a demon, then yes." Zi Xin said and Yong Jie groaned as he let Zi Xin do the job. It would be his first and last time wearing makeup and at least in his lifetime, he experienced once making him feel less bad about it. Zi Xin nudged those cosmetics here and there on Yong Jie's face for almost half an hour. Zi Xin lastly colored his lips with light red tint before Zi Xin finally leaned back, checking his masterpiece. He adjusted here and there until he was satisfied. It didn't make any difference from Yong Jie's original world where women would take hours to do her make up, drawing lines everywhere on the face until their face would become unrecognizable. "Jie-er, you're so beautiful!" Zi Xin squeaked while smiling widely at Yong Jie. Light make up was only needed, just a few powder, eyeshadows, and then pink blush on the cheeks and lips. "Let me see, Xiao Xin." Yong Jie said and Zi Xin handed him an elliptical mirror in a wooden frame. A beautiful woman was staring back at Yong Jie in the mirror. Yong Jie wasn't sure if it was his own reflection he saw. Zi Xin draws his eyebrows thin and well arched, his cheek was pink like he was blushing constantly, his lips also were in between pink and light red shade. Zi Xin also painted a huadian (forehead decoration) on his forehead one centimeter above the center of his eyebrows, a red plum blossom that added a huge percentage of Yong Jie's feminine look. "I wish I can marry myself. Zi Xin, you're so good at this." Yong Jie praised and Zi Xin chuckled and then started doing his own makeup while Yong Jie stared through the whole process. Zi Xin finished by adding another design of plum blossom on his forehead too then looked satisfied at the result. Zi Xin looked even more beautiful with makeup. "Aside from myself, I want to marry Zi Xin too!" Yong Jie said making Zi Xin laughed as he reached for a pouch and fetched a few hair accessories. Zi Xin placed a plum blossom accessory around Yong Jie's upper portion of his hair that was tied in a bun. Zi Xin added a few hairpins and fixed his hair then Zi Xin decorated his hair with golden hairpins and accessories. "We're ready." Zi Xin said. ××× After waiting for an hour, Zi Xin and Yong Jie were still behind the screen so Yong Jie decided to meditate together with Yao Xue while waiting. Finally, another hour has passed when they heard the two giggling behind the screen and saying they were done. Yong Xian stood up immediately and he almost dropped his fan when Zi Xin slipped first from the screen looking so stunning, his eyes didn't dare to blink as he stared at Zi Xin. The plum blossom that bloomed on his forehead amidst the hot weather in HuangWu was beautiful. Zi Xin smiled. "The plum blossom huadian suits Zi Xin." Yao Xue said as he stood up. "Thank you, young master Yao Xue. Wait until you see Jie-er." Zi Xin said then turned to Yong Xian whose mouth was open. "Is there any maiden in this world as beautiful as my dear Xiao Xin?" Yong Xian said making Zi Xin smiled shyly just when Yong Jie stepped out from the screen. Even Yong Jie couldn't believe that it was his younger brother who stepped out and not a beautiful maiden in her pink robes that sprouted out of nowhere. Yao Xue's heart almost stopped beating when Yong Jie smiled and then turned around, showing off his full transformation, in a graceful manner making Zi Xin chuckled. Yong Jie walked towards Yao Xue who was still stunned. "Do Young master Yao Xue also think that the huadian suits Yong Jie too?" Yong Jie spoke softly like a real maiden. Yong Jie nailed it perfectly. It was like Yong Jie was the reason why the huadian exists. Yong Jie looked more than stunning and Zi Xin really did a good job bringing out Yong Jie's hidden feminine beauty. "Hnn." Yao Xue could only muster a hum as an answer. Yong Jie pouted then looked at Yao Xue and continued pressing the man. "Do Young master Yao Xue find Yong Jie attractive too?" Yao Xue looked into Yong Jie's eyes and hummed again. "Then, if Young master Yao Xue finds Yong Jie beautiful and attractive, will Young master Yao Xue consider this young maiden to be Young master Yao Xue's lover?" Yong Jie flirted. "Shut up, Jie er-didi." Yong Xian smacked Yong Jie's back with his fan making him glared at his elder brother really wishing to throw a middle finger to his face. ×××××××
