Chapter 98: Beauties of the Jianghu (Part II)
The next morning, just as the sun rose and the morning breeze felt slightly cool:
“Boom~ boom~ boom~”
The earth suddenly began to tremble violently.
A thunderous sound came from the city gate, and a wild gust of wind rushed in, stirring people’s hats and robes. As they looked toward the source of the noise, they were struck with astonishment.
Standing at the city gate was a massive skeleton, over ten zhang tall.
It looked human; whether it was the ribs, arms, or hand bones, they were exactly like a human’s.
Yet, those were certainly not human bones.
A person could not possibly grow so tall, nor could they grow a tail behind them.
How was such a bone-creature, taller than the city gate itself, supposed to enter?
How was it supposed to walk on these streets packed with people?
More importantly, was the person pulling off such a spectacle even a woman?
Just as the crowd was filled with doubt, the bone-creature suddenly began to shrink.
It shrank from ten zhang in height down until it was the size of a palm.
People finally caught sight of the bone-creature’s master.
She was a woman dressed in peculiar attire.
Her Daoist robe was half-black and half-white; on the black side of the garment were embroidered white koi, and on the white side were embroidered black koi.
The two fish were arranged in a Taiji pattern, the black fish with a white eye, and the white fish with a black eye.
She lifted her head; her features were breathtakingly beautiful, carrying a sense of serenity that seemed detached from the world.
