She started to swing the other's arm gently like a child trying to convince their parent to buy them a certain toy with their cuteness.

\"... Okay... You know I hate owing people like this, though.\" Bai Yaoxuan was finally willing to move, not able to come up with a counter argument against her sworn older sister.

\"I'm doing all this because I want to, there's no one that can force me to do anything, whichever world we're in. If you still feel like you owe me then just become a good cultivator or doctor, whichever path you choose. Because then that means I have nurtured a great talent and it doesn't hurt to have relations with a famous person.\" Shne Tianyu pulled the other out the door of her courtyard before she exclaimed in realization. She held her sleeves to her nose and sniffed, furrowing at the smell.

\"What's wrong?\" Bai Yaoxuan tilted her head seeing that it wasn't as if the other was injured.

\"I smell. I need to take a bath. Can you wait for me?\" She turned to the other, her hands on her belt.

\"Okay. Then in the meantime I can just change and get ready.\"

\"Sure, you can just pick some clothes from my room if you want.\" They changed direction and headed towards Shen Tianyu's room. She reminded the other not to peak after she snatched one of the clothes at the top of her drawers. Since the bathouse was yet to be repaired, she had her servants bring in a wooden tub with warm water to bath in behind the two sets of screens she had in her room still. The two chatted about their life before and their life once they came over as one bathed and the other tried her hardest to apply basic makeup without brushes.

\"You're so lucky, just a random robe and it looks to cost at least a few million silver.\" Bai Yaoxuan sighed as she put on her makeup, taking a moment to admire the sleeve of the robe she had picked up, embroidered with a leaf pattern.

\"Hey, I was wearing horrible-looking clothing when I came into that family you know. I even thought one of the outfits was a burlap sack. Though I don't really mind as long as I'm not naked but then the old man that helped me was fussing over the quality of clothing. Now, I'm getting extravagant robes either gifted to me by outsiders or given by my own people. I have to go out of my way just to buy some average-looking clothes.\" Shen Tianyu got out from her bath and started to towel dry hweaelf behind the screens. She liked wasting tim ein the bathtub until her fingers were pruning but she wasn't in the bathouse and she needed to go outside soon, her stomach felt hollow. 

\"Then, have you ever tried to find your parents? Even though you were very young when they took you in, you still are aware that they're not your birth parents right?\" Bai Yaoxuan, true to her words, didn't look back at the other girl even when she heard the splashing of water.

\"You're always so pragmatic, Lingling. I would want to go look for them.\"

\"But have you thought, if they were alive, why didn't they come back to look for you? the answer might just make you regret ever looking for them. In any case, I'm already old enough to support myself so I don't need their care now. If I happen to find them, then I find them, if not then that's also fine.\" shen Tianyu pulled apart the two screens like a door and stepped out, her dewy hair enveloping her back and staining her outer robe. 

\"Ah! I'm still not done!\" Bai Yaoxuan cried when she saw the figure emerge from the makeshift bathouse.

\"Still? You're face value has never been lower than high, there's no need for you to put on too much makeup.\" Shen Tianyu strode over to see just what was taking the other so long to find only the face powder box and lip paper box opened in front of her with an ancient eyebrow pencil in her hand. \"Why in the mother of all worlds did you put so much powder on your face?\" She startled at the other's pale skin in the mirror before she realized she had covered her whole face in the talcum powder.

\"But, isn't this the style nowadays? I see the other sisters doing this, and some of the more attention- seeking maids back at my place.\" Bai Yaoxuan stared at the other girl through the mirror, putting th eunused eyebrow pencil back.

\"Where have you even been living at? The goddamn boondocks? Why would you even need to follow those stupid trends anyways? You'd look beautiful with just some darker eyebrows and some lipstick. I've only ever used the white powder once and noen of the servants have even dared to touch that box again.\" Shen Tianyu picked up a small towel on the side of the table and hurried to dip it in the bowl of water set on a stool beside it, wanting to wipe the powder away. \"Really, there's no need for you to follow those stupid beauty trends, what really matters is your backing. With me as your backing, you not only have the Royal family of Rikui Kingdom on your side but also one of the most successful businesses in this world. It won't matter even if you slap a few women upside the head, what's more not following trends.\" She turned the others hand, gripping her chin as she wiped away the white powder she had put all over her face.
