010: The Celebration

010: The Celebration

Zemirah went home in a good mood with her disciple, Wendy.

In the living room at home, Zemirah took out Wendy's newly bought artifact dress, cloak, and shoes.

"Here you are, my Little Disciple. Keep them in your space pouch." Zemirah smiled.

Wendy was a bit overwhelmed but after her Master's doting these past few days, she was somewhat used to it. 

"Thank you, Master. I like all of them." She said with a smile making her beautiful Master happy.

"That's good. I'll invite your Auntie Riya this afternoon. Let's have a rest for now." It was only lunchtime.

Zemirah then went to her room.

After giving Wendy the artifacts they bought for her, Sia's voice sounded as expected.

Zemirah got new artifacts from Sia and they are mostly Grade 2. 

"An Energy Refinement Realm cultivator using Grade 2 artifacts is eye-catching. I'll just use them when I'm outside with a disguise." Zemirah said absentmindedly.

"Should I change into another Grade 1 dress?" Zemirah was thinking as she wore her new shoes [Holy Willow Sandals] that she liked best. 

Looking at her white sandals, Zemirah chose [White Daisy Dress], a Common-Quality Low-Stage Grade 1 Dress Artifact. It's low-key enough, right?

"Fortunately, my veil is color white. Now, my clothing style is all white." Zemirah stared at herself in the mirror.

"I look pure and saintly," Zemirah smiled. She let her hair down without any hair accessories since she didn't have anything white to pair her outfit.

"Let's go and invite, Riya," Zemirah told Wendy that she'd go to the neighbor's house to call her only friend.

Riya, who just successfully concocted a Grade 1 Outstanding-Quality Pill, smiled to herself when she heard a knock on her door.

Sighing, she wondered who was looking for her when a white figure appeared in her sight.

"Mirah?" She asked.

"Riya! Good day, me and my disciple just moved in today." The beautiful figure still wears her veil yet it doesn't diminish the beauty she holds.

Just looking at her eyes, one will be captivated.

"Come to my house and celebrate with us."

Riya's brows rose then she spoke, "Wait a minute." She went out of her residence with Mirah in tow.

Riya followed Mirah as she listened to her talk, "I accepted a disciple. She's talented in swordsmanship and very cute."

"I have heard of that," Riya said.

Zemirah was surprised, "Really? I just accepted her 5 days ago."

"It's quite well-known news." Riya sighed.

They arrived at the courtyard owned by Mirah.

"How so? I only told you today." Zemirah wondered as she led Riya inside.

Riya saw the newly renovated courtyard. It was still bare but enough. It looks more exquisite than the old courtyard.

Wendy appeared in their sight, wearing a light green dress with a sword on her waist.

"This is my disciple, Wendy. Wendy, greet Auntie Riya."

Riya's eyes widened at the call of Auntie.

Wendy smiled and cutely called Auntie Riya.

Riya didn't bother complaining about the title and took out a wooden box, "A meeting gift." 

Wendy looked at the wooden box and at her master, clearly asking for permission. 

Zemirah smiled and patted her little head, "Go ahead, it's your Auntie Riya's good intention."

"Many thanks, Auntie Riya."

Riya also smiled at the cute girl and nodded.

"Come to the kitchen." Zemirah grinned.

"Why the kitchen?" Riya was puzzled. Most celebrations are in the living room or dining room.

"We will cook." Zemirah laughed lightly.

"Huh?" Riya was puzzled at her words. Only later did she understand what Zemirah said.

They did cook.

No – She cooked while the master and disciple helped her on the side.

While placing the plates on the table, Riya blandly said, "I think this is why you invited me."

Zemirah denied vehemently, "Of course not. You're my good friend so I invited you, ah."

Riya side-eyed the beauty who fooled her into cooking for them. While Wendy silently ate her portion.

Riya once slipped that she could cook spiritual food, so she's both an Alchemist and Spiritual Chef.

Zemirah remembered it.
