The Yao Emperor and His Human Doctor.

Chapter 60 - Preparations

Ren Loo had picked out an outfit for An Shu herself while browsing the store. The snake was under a lot of pressure when trying on the outfit, but the fit was perfect. It was a set in a shiny gray tone, in the same iridescent pattern as his scales, with silver details. An Shu was surprised that he would actually get such an expensive and elegant outfit.

How could he afford this? The price of this store would definitely take more money than he had saved all these years! Of course, Su Ning paid him a salary, even though he had lived and eaten at the clinic for so many years without paying anything. The snake was saving his money in case of need and now he owed everything on clothes! (Usually I owe everything in books too, I understand An Shu perfectly👌.)

Before he spoke after changing, Lady Ren had already chosen a change of clothes for Qiang Yong and went to the cashier, paying for everything with two heavy gold coins.
An Shu "......."
"Now I'm satisfied! It's much easier to choose clothes for men. You look good in everything!"
"Um... Madam Re..."
"Ah, yes! This whole search has made me hungry, let's look for something to eat, A-Shu!"

An Shu was almost crying, he barely managed to talk about paying for clothes and now Ren Loo was going to spend more money on food. However, instead of looking for an elegant and refined restaurant, she stopped at a random establishment to eat fried chicken. The snake sighed with relief, this at least would pay for him and he could eat his portion in peace.

"I had a lot of fun today." Ren Loo smiled, sucking on his greasy fingers after devouring several chicken wings. When she was thus relaxed, her manner was very spontaneous. She would hardly be comfortable doing this in party rooms like Orchid'sHouse, so she took the opportunity to eat her fill.

An Shu was following her footsteps. She was truly a fascinating woman.
"So, A-Shu, do you like working with the doctor?"
An Shu was caught off guard as he gnawed on his chicken wing. "Uh, yes. Of course I do."
"Don't you feel like traveling, seeing new places?"

"The doctor has been called in many places, but it's not like I don't know them... I've had plenty of time to wander this world alone." He lowered his head a little depressed. Ren Loo nodded with understanding. This was usually the fate that awaited someone who was expelled from the clan.
"Well, now you don't have to be alone anymore. You have us and this doctor who even knows how to dance... how can he be proficient in so many activities?" They both laughed.

"I think he's also wandered a lot. When I met him he already knew so much... everything I asked he answered something like so-and-so taught me, when I asked who taught him to dance, he said he was one of the masters. of the Sect, who loved all forms of art and who would only teach something if the student also dedicated himself to his passion..."

“These cultivators are full of quirks.” Ren Loo laughed. They finished eating and returned to the Orchids' house at the end of monkey hour. This time the dragon preferred to listen and find out more about how An Shu and the doctor lived in this chat. After all, they could all become one big family sooner than she thought.

At Orchid's House, preparations for the evening performance are already underway, from dinner to the stage. Black Orchid had left Chuan Zuo's room in a hurry after a while, to take care of her other duties. She was too excited. Qiang Yong was anxious, so many things could go wrong with this plan. Why did Su Ning always take such risks? Seeing him in this nervous state, Ren Loo couldn't help but laugh.

Under the pretext of calming him down, she handed him his new clothes, demanding that he change quickly. There were just a few hours left before the house opened and they also had to be ready. All were necessary actors in this play.
An Shu and Ren Loo finished changing first. When she wanted to, Ren Loo acted very well as a lady, although her strong temper never changed.

She discreetly put on makeup and appeared exuberant in her new emerald green haifu, with matching jewelry. Qiang Yong was wearing a dark blue robe, decorated with silver ornaments. Sobriety always suited him well and highlighted the strength and power he naturally emitted. And An Shu was shy in his new attire, to the point that his face was red. He never dressed so elegantly and didn't even know how to behave, but the combination of his hair and white skin was very beautiful to see along with the silver brocade.

The embarrassment passed when he saw Ren Loo, with her long, loose hair crowned with the jade tiara. Qiang Yong looked at his sister with a slight smile.
"If you wanted to steal the show, you should have volunteered to be the headliner right away."
"Well, well! You're really praising me! I think that An Shu performed a true miracle by choosing this piece for me." Ren Loo laughed.

The snake trembled a little, fearfully when Qiang Yong glanced at it.
"I just gave an opinion." He justified himself.
Qiang Yong sighed. "She would get attention anyway."
At this moment, Black Orchid appeared, approving of them. "I don't think I've ever received such distinguished and well-dressed guests. It also seems like the house will be full today. Many people were curious about the performance in honor of Chuan Zuo and the unknown dancer."

"Su Ning is taking his time. Was there a problem?" Qiang Yong asked. The hostess smiled, waving her fan gently.
"Chuan Zuo was passing on last minute tips. But he won't let you down. I promise."
That wasn't what Qiang Yong was worried about and he opened his mouth to clarify when the bedroom door opened and Chuan Zuo, in his simple robes, walked out.

"Everything is ready, madam!" She exclaimed, giving a slight bow to Black Orchid.
"Ah, there it is!" The lady of the house smiled, closing the fan and clapping it in her hand. "This will be our Turquoise Orchid, Su Jie."
Su Ning left as well, walking softly as if he had been born and lived as a courtesan his entire life.

As a cultivator, he was prepared to take this kind of situation coolly, despite the initial discomfort he was now used to. However, it was a shock for everyone else to see him like this, with the exception of the two courtesans who had been following the process.
"It was really good, don't you think??" Black Orchid laughed. "Believe me, I'm going to adopt this style for all the girls here. It will bring more class to the establishment."
All "..............."
