Si Jin was still showing off his manicure in all aspects, "Look, look, this sparkly one is called 'cat's eye', and the one the owner made for me is 'dragon's eye', with a circle of black lines in the pupil, which is clearly my eye. The nail polish she used has star fragments and rainbow light, which is why it is so radiant and colorful, more beautiful than my treasure house. And this little dragon looks like you just squatted there and flicked your tail..."
Veins on Harold's forehead bulged out, and he swung his claws over. The "Dragon Eye" that Si Jin had just boasted about, "cracked", opened a crack, and then shattered into powder, which was blown away by the wind and scattered in the air.
Si Jin covered his paw with a look of heartache and was almost angry to death, "Harold, you're going too far!"
Harold turned his head and snorted softly, then swung his tail and hit Sikin, with the tip of his tail specifically hitting his fingers.
"Crack—" the "dragon eye" on Si Jin's thumb also turned into smoke and dust and drifted away with the wind.
Harold was still not satisfied and continued to swing his tail to attack Si Jin's other hand.
The nails on that finger are shiny and the target is more obvious.
Manicure? What the hell!
Si Jin is often unpunctual, and today, because of this lousy manicure, he made a dragon wait in the wilderness for an entire afternoon. This is unforgivable.
What starry rainbow light? It turned into dust and debris with just one pull from him.
The nail polish was broken by the dragon's tail, and Si Jin didn't dare to transform into a dragon. If he did that, his own strength would destroy the polish on his nails without Harold's interference, so he could only try to resist Harold's attack in human form.
The dragon form is the most comfortable and powerful form for a dragon to fight in. A dragon in human form cannot withstand the attack of a dragon in dragon form.
However, dragons are naturally strong, unlike fragile humans. Even if they are thrown around by their own kind, it is difficult for them to get hurt. At most, they will look a little embarrassed.
But the nails couldn't bear it. In just a few breaths, most of the manicure that Si Jin had done in less than half a day was violently removed by Harold, leaving only three nails with little dragons painted on them.
Si Jinlong's eyes flushed red, and he was about to cry with anger. He didn't want to pay attention to Harold anymore: "I won't fight with you. I'm going to find the owner to get my nails done."
Si Jin fled, but he didn't dare to transform into a dragon, so his speed was very slow.
Harold changed into a human form and chased after him, his voice cold: "That's great, I'm going to destroy that store."
-
In the nail salon.
Pharmacist Lixiu was obsessed with looking through the pictures of nail art styles. Every one of them was so eye-catching. She had never thought that nails could have so many styles.
Lu Yao did not urge him and continued to read the magic theory book with his head down.
Dusk was falling outside the door. Lixiu flipped to the latest style, a pair of slender and beautiful hands, one with a blue and gold cat's eye pattern, and the other with a giant dragon pattern and majestic dragon eyes.
The humans on the continent of Alexandria have a natural fear of dragons. In their eyes, dragons are powerful, tyrannical, and evil, and they should not be made enemies.
But the little dragon painted on the nails by the shop owner was so cute. Lixiu had never seen such a lovely dragon. She pointed at the photo and asked, "When was this made?"
Lu Yao looked up: "Before you came."
Lixiu thought of the first man who entered the nail salon and compared his overly handsome face with the nails. It turned out that he had a manicure in the shop.
Lixiu put down the tablet, feeling a little embarrassed.
At first, she was just curious about the "manicure service". She sat in the store for half a day. The owner not only generously allowed her to visit, but also did not rush her at all. It seemed that she would feel guilty if she did not get a manicure.
In fact, there is a method of painting nails that is popular among witches, but the styles are very few, basically solid colors, and there are only two options: red or black.
The raw material used for nail dye is a plant called mist wood, which is highly toxic. It needs to be used with great care, is time-consuming and laborious, and the color will fade after only three days.
After Lishu became a pharmacist, she never dyed her nails again.
She suddenly had a strong urge to try this manicure.
In addition to feeling embarrassed by the owner's enthusiasm, the bigger reason was that I was attracted by these overly beautiful manicures. I felt very happy just by looking at them.
She imagined herself finishing her nails and going back to research the new potion, looking forward to it, just like putting on a favorite new piece of clothing.
Li Xiu looked up at Lu Yao and said, "Shopkeeper, I want to do a manicure."
Lu Yao put down the book and said gently, "Okay, do you have any style you like?"
Lixiu pointed to a picture and said, "I like this one."
Lu Yao nodded, "Blush nails, they suit you very well."
"Blush?" Lixiu was puzzled.
Lu Yao explained: "The color of the style you chose is smudged from the center of the nail surface to the periphery, from dark to light, like the blush on the cheeks of women when they put on makeup. Some people gave it a name - blush nail."
Lixiu found it interesting, "I see, I want to make this 'blush nail'."
Lu Yao brought the toolbox and trimmed Li's nails first.
Lishu noticed the magic book she had placed aside, "Is the shop owner teaching himself magic?"
There are special magic schools and knight academies on the Alexandria continent to train special talents, but the Emerald Town is located in a remote area, a day and a night away from the nearest city of Onoton, so you don't usually see students from magic schools and knight academies.
Lu Yao looked very young, but she was definitely over the age limit for admission to the magic school. She was reading an elementary magic book, so Lixiu thought she was teaching herself.
However, books are also very precious in Alexandria, and magic books are even more so. Even the most basic magic books are very expensive, and Li Xiu became more and more curious about Lu Yao's identity.
Lu Yao had already polished Li Xiu's nails and selected the nail polish he wanted to use from the drawer. He nodded and said, "Just take a look when you have nothing to do."
Lixiu felt relieved to hear her say that.
In her opinion, the owner had long passed the best time to learn magic, and since he was self-taught, he had too high expectations for learning magic, so the result would definitely not be satisfactory.
If you just watch it casually to broaden your horizons, you won't have to worry about these things.
Lu Yao had no idea what Li Xiu was thinking and started working with full concentration.
Compared to some manicures with complex designs, blush nails are a relatively simple style, but they also have their difficulties - if the color blending is not controlled well, it will look dull and unnatural, and will not have that light and cute feeling at all.
Lu Yao has done too many manicures, so he is very good at doing blush nails.
The peach-colored gradient is as natural as gauze spreading out in the wind, becoming increasingly thinner and lighter until only a light layer of milky orange remains at the edge, which is both cute and milky.
However, Lu Yao felt that it was a bit monotonous after looking at it for a while, so he added some details, alternating between pure white and misty blue French styles on the edges of the nails.
Lishu's eyes widened slightly in surprise.
At first she thought the nude smudge was pretty enough, but the owner asked her to add a little detail.
She was embarrassed to refuse, but was actually a little worried that the owner would take the opportunity to charge more money.
The styles were all priced on the pictures. The cheapest nail care service was eighty-eight copper coins, and the blush nails she chose cost one hundred and eighty-eight copper coins.
In Emerald Town, this price is very expensive, just for a manicure, I'm afraid many people find it hard to understand.
But when the owner used a small transparent stamp to apply white and misty blue nail polish respectively, and pinched her finger to poke the stamp into the seal, a thin ribbon-like lace appeared on the edge of the nail, and the level of refinement instantly increased.
Lixiu suddenly felt that the shopkeeper was right. It was indeed a bit monotonous before. "How much?"
Lu Yao: "One hundred and eighty-eight copper coins."
Li Xiu was surprised, "No extra money?"
Lu Yao shook his head: "It's just a simple detail, it's not necessary."
Lixiu was in a better mood and took out two silver coins and handed them over.
Lu Yao asked embarrassedly: "Do you have change? I can't make the change."
She opened the drawer and found two gold coins inside.
Lixiu handed over a silver coin and took out her purse to count the copper coins one by one.
At this moment, the door of the shop was suddenly pushed open and Si Jin ran in panic. When he saw other customers, he paused, his expression became serious, and his steps and demeanor became elegant.
Harold came in behind Si Jin and was a little surprised to see Lu Yao and Li Xiu. It turned out to be a shop opened by a human.
After paying the money, Lixiu secretly glanced at Si Jin and Harold. The aura of these two people was so terrifying.
She walked to the door and looked back. The blond young man was already sitting opposite Lu Yao. The owner didn't seem to realize how scary they were. Lixiu shook her head and left in a hurry.
Lu Yao was the only human left in the store. Si Jin immediately raised his paw and said aggrievedly, "Shopkeeper, the manicure is broken. Can it be repaired?"
Seeing the pair of hands that were cleaner than nail polish remover, Lu Yao was silent for five seconds. "It's only been half a day, how come it's like this?"
Si Jin glanced at Harold who was sitting next to him and said unhappily, "It was damaged in a fight."
The boy with long black hair tied into a high ponytail was wearing a black uniform, with deep blue eyes and a somewhat childish look. Although he had long hair, his violent aura would never make people mistake him for a girl.
"Blame me? It's obviously your fault that the nails you made were of poor quality. Even the nails dyed with mist wood don't fade so easily." Harold retorted, picked up a sour plum candy from the plate, and prepared to start by finding faults and torturing the owner.
After Si Jin leaves, he will destroy the shop.
He raised his hand to put the candy into his mouth, but Lu Yao held his hand, took the candy, and said, "This is wrapped, you have to tear it before you can eat it."
Harold's ears turned red, and he reached out to grab the candy back. Even though he was embarrassed and angry, he still said with determination: "I know!"
However, Lu Yao ate the candy first and said casually, "If you want to eat it, peel it yourself."
"..." Harold slowly tightened his fingers until they formed fists that made a creaking sound. This human was even more annoying than Sikin!
Lu Yao turned to look at Si Jin's hands. Except for the three fingers with dragons painted on them, the rest were cleanly removed. "It can be redone. Do you still want the previous style?"
Si Jin nodded, he didn't want that enough.
It was getting dark outside the window. Fortunately, Lu Yao had no other appointments today, so he started doing Si Jin's nails again.
Without tracing, it will be faster than before.
Harold was sitting next to Si Jin, and he couldn't take his eyes off Lu Yao since he took out the nail polish.
The contents of those small bottles were flowing and flashing in various colors. Was that the nail polish that Si Jin mentioned that contained stars and rainbow light
So shiny and beautiful!
After creating the cat-eye effect, Lu Yao stood up and picked up the box containing diamonds and sequins, and used tweezers to pick up the small diamonds and stick them on Si Jin's nails.
Harold's eyes lit up again when he saw those little things. They were all sparkling. He liked them!
Si Jin secretly observed Harold's expression, and took the opportunity to let Lu Yao pass the tablet to him, and stuffed it into Harold's hand, "These are all the styles made by the owner, take a look and see if there are any you like. The owner's craftsmanship is superb."
Harold held his head high with a look of disdain, "It's so funny, who wants to watch this? I don't like these!"
