Ugly Tassel
Meanwhile, Rui Li and Xiaoyu were sitting outside the inner courtyard with a table set up for crafting. From the looks of it, they were either making bracelets or tassels. The table had beads, colourful silk threads and rhinestones scattered all over the place.
They were so immersed in their task that they didn't notice the scornful looks coming from Rui Yewan who was circulating his seraphic energy through his atherial veins to strengthen his aether.
"What do you think? Will he like it?" asked Xiaoyu raising a half complete green sword tassel. Her eyes were shining bright like a puppy as though seeking praise.
Rui Li looked at the hideous looking tassel that looked like it was spat out from a cow's mouth and choked on the nice words she was about to say.
She intended on taking a casual glance at first and reply perfunctorily but when she saw the hideous monstrosity she couldn't give a casual response.
