Lu Yao opened the window to ventilate the room.
Today in Yaoguang City, the sky is clear and the weather is excellent.
After standing at the window and enjoying the breeze, Lu Yao turned around and neatly put the twenty ordinary sanding strips that he had urgently purchased at the supermarket last night into the drawer before preparing to open the door.
He opened the door of the nail salon and was about to hang up the open sign when he felt several enthusiastic gazes from all sides. He looked up and saw a young man with a high ponytail standing at the door with his arms crossed. He lowered his eyes and saw a basket of sparkling gold coins and jewels at his feet.
…What is this for
Although you are a dragon, you are too flamboyant.
Do you understand that wealth should not be shown to others
Lu Yao glanced at the nearby shops. The proprietress of the fruit shop on the left was staring at the jewels on the ground. The owner of the meat stall next door struggled to look away, occasionally turning his head to glance sideways. The owners and customers of the bakery and flower shop opposite were all looking at this side quietly.
Harold heard the door open, turned sideways, and frowned, complaining impatiently, "Why is the door opening so slowly?"
As he spoke, he picked up the basket of dazzling treasures with one hand. A gorgeous pearl and ruby necklace slipped out of the basket and was about to fall to the ground. Harold hooked his toes, gently lifted it up, and the necklace fell steadily into the basket.
As if he had sensed something, Harold turned his head and glanced at the street before entering the store. His dragon breath was exposed, and those who were secretly spying on him felt their scalps tingling and dared not look at him again.
Humans dare to covet the dragon's treasure. They are overestimating their own capabilities!
After entering the store, Harold walked to the seat where Si Jin had sat yesterday, placed his treasure at his feet, raised his chin and said proudly, "I want a manicure, and I want the most expensive one!"
The little black dragon went back last night and rolled around in the pile of treasures. He couldn't fall asleep and his mind was full of manicures.
On the way back, Si Jin kept showing off to him.
What's so great about it? He wants to do it too, and make it brighter and more beautiful than Si Jin's!
The little black dragon had rarely come into contact with humans before, and subconsciously thought that the more expensive something was, the more dazzling it would be. He didn't know how much money to bring, so he just packed a basket at random.
Every dragon has its own cave or mountain where it hides its treasures. The little black dragon's cave is in the Black Mountain Wasteland, where treasures are piled all over the ground and he usually rolls around randomly.
This time, he thought the treasure chest was too small, so he just got a basket.
Lu Yao handed the tablet over and sighed slightly. Long was indeed rich. He always carried treasures when he did the manicure. "What style do you like?"
While the little black dragon was choosing a style, she immediately tapped into the system and spent five thousand popularity points to reinforce the star gate.
Countless people saw Harold carrying the treasure into the store. They didn't know it was a dragon. Regardless of whether anyone had bad intentions or not, she had to be prepared in advance.
Harold quickly flipped through the styles he hadn’t finished looking at yesterday, pointing at a few pictures and saying, “I want this, this, this, and this!”
Before they even started, Lu Yao felt that this guy was troublesome.
He chose more than ten styles, and he only liked a certain nail design in each style, always the most gorgeous and exaggerated style in that style. He can be called the center of manicure.
He wants to be in the center with all ten fingers.
This little black dragon is even more greedy than the little golden dragon.
Lu Yao tried to explain the concept of priority in design. Even for manicures, they have to complement each other to look beautiful.
After hearing this, the little black dragon hesitated for a while, then gave in: "I want it to be shinier than Si Jin's, and with more gems."
This request was much simpler and clearer. Lu Yao nodded while choosing the nail polish he wanted to use.
The little black dragon stretched out his claws contentedly, finally he could have a manicure.

Pharmacist Lixiu got up early because today was the day to go to the city.
She lived in a small town, and most of the herbs she used could be picked nearby and processed by herself. However, there were some precious herbs that had demanding growing conditions that could not be found in Emerald Town, and there was no supply, so she had to go to the city to buy them.
At the end of every month, she would go to the city of Onoton to buy rare herbs and sell some high-level potions.
When Lixiu changed her clothes, she put her arms through the sleeves, with the cuffs resting on the back of her hands, her pink fingertips exposed.
She couldn't help but raise her hand and look for a while. The sun was shining brightly outside the window and she suddenly felt very happy.
Lixiu is usually busy with pharmaceutical production and does not have high demands on life. She always chooses the most efficient way to go out and returns immediately after finishing her work. She does not dress up deliberately. When she saw the tender pink on her nails just now, she suddenly felt a little fresh.
She took off her half-worn ginger top and pulled out a half-new floral dress from her closet.
Since we're going to the city, it's okay to dress nicely.
Before leaving, Lixiu checked the shopping list, counted the medicines she was going to take to the city, made sure there were no problems, and went out with breakfast.
There were shops in the town that rented carriages and horses. Since she had to bring back herbs, she usually rented a carriage and hired a guard to escort her.
It takes three days to go back and forth and finish the work. There is no teleportation array in Emerald Town, and the teleportation scroll cannot be used, so traveling is always inconvenient. However, Li Xiu likes the peaceful life here. There are many commonly used medicinal herbs on the surrounding mountains, which is more to her than the convenient transportation.
Lixiu paid for the carriage and the guards. She used to sit in the carriage and read books, and the guards would drive her directly to Onoton City. Today, she was in a good mood, so she didn't sit in the carriage, but sat on the shaft with the female knight Elvy, chatting as they entered the city.
Elvy is the most powerful knight in Emerald Town. Lixiu asks Elvy to escort her every time she goes to the city, and the two are quite familiar with each other.
After leaving Emerald Town, Elvy was a little absent-minded and would turn her head to glance at Lixiu from time to time.
Lixiu felt it and felt a little uneasy. She hesitated for a long time. When Elvy looked at her again, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Elvy hesitated for a moment before she said, "I heard someone say you went to that nail salon yesterday."
Lixiu breathed a sigh of relief. She thought there was something wrong with her, so she admitted generously, "Yes, I went to the nail salon."
Elvy's eyes showed curiosity, "What exactly does that store do? I heard that the store appeared out of thin air and the owner is a powerful witch?"
There are many rumors about the nail salon in town, and almost everyone has heard several different versions, but unfortunately none of them have any actual content.
Yesterday someone said that two strange and scary men and Lishu from the pharmacy entered the store, but nothing more could be said.
Elvy was drinking outside and overheard something. She happened to receive a job from Lixiu in the morning and wanted to find out more.
Lixiu found it funny when she heard it, but she also understood Elvy.
Before going to the nail salon, she was crazy curious and scared.
Lixiu raised her hand, showing her fingers, and explained with a smile: "That shop mainly does nail beauty. The owner is not a witch, she is a very nice person. I just went to the shop to get a manicure."
Elvy stopped the carriage and took Lixiu's hand to look at it. There was no trace of magic, it was indeed just painted nails.
However... this color is rare, and the way of dyeing the nails is also different from the usual.
Lixiu's hands are slender, white and small. She is wearing a long floral dress with inexplicably gentle nails, which makes her look so adorable.
"Can I do it too?" Elvy blurted out without much thought.
She was a knight and usually carried a sword. She felt a little annoyed when she realized what she had said, "Never mind. I was just a little curious."
Isn't it weird that a knight would dye his nails
Li Xiu was pleasantly surprised: "You like it too? Don't worry at all. The owner has many styles and pictures. There must be a style you like."
Elvie was still a little awkward, so Lixiu told her about Sikin and Harold.
Hearing that all men asked Lu Yao to paint their nails, Elvy's curiosity reached its peak again.
When she returns from Onoton City, she will go to the nail salon!
-
In the nail salon.
Lu Yao is "struggling" with Harold. His nails have been polished, base coat and base color applied, but he is stuck on the details.
Harold took out a bunch of gems and threw them on the table, asking Lu Yao to decorate his claws.
Lu Yao looked at the pile of rubies, emeralds, amethysts, and blue topaz fell silent. The smallest gem was bigger than his palm and felt too heavy to hold in his hand. She had no idea what was going on in Long's mind.
Harold stretched out a finger and pushed her: "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yao's eyes were full of helplessness, and he decided to explain to him one last time: "Harold, look, these gems are bigger than your hands, there is no way to decorate them on your nails."
Harold stared at her with his dark blue eyes: "I want to make a manicure that is more beautiful than Si Jin, so I have to use these gems."
Lu Yao: “…”
He looks smart, but this kid is really stubborn.
"There's only one way," Lu Yao sighed, reaching out to pick up a blood-red gem, "break it into small pieces and stick them on your nails."
Harold snatched the gem back and held it in his arms, "No."
Dragons are the most greedy creatures, how could they destroy their own treasures
Lu Yao: "... Then I can only help you stick them on your nails if you can make them smaller."
Harold blinked, raised his hand and drew a magic circle towards the pile of gems. The magic circle floated in the air and expanded outward. The black light in the circle gradually enveloped the gems, and the pile of gems shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Is that so?" Harold asked.
Is this magic
This is so fun.
Lu Yao carefully picked up a shrunken ruby. The rice-sized stone shone with an enchanting light like concentrated blood, but it was still too heavy to hold in his hand.
The volume has decreased, but the weight has not changed. Ordinary glue shouldn't be able to stick to it, right
[Spend 100,000 popularity points to exchange for a set of dragon-specific magic gem glue. Do you want to exchange it? ]
Lu Yao: “…Exchange.”
Half an hour later, Lu Yao was exhausted and out of breath, but he finally completed all of Harold's requirements.
The stones were too heavy to be lifted or pushed with tweezers, so she could only place them on Harold's nails with her bare hands and then carefully adjust them, which was extremely tiring.
I heard from the system that Harold is a little black dragon. He himself seems to love black very much. He chose a black and silver base color and embellished it with various colored gems.
Lu Yao gave him a black gradient from the base of the nail to the fingertips, from light to dark, layer by layer, and used silver cat-eye nail polish on the one-third of the fingertips to create the effect of a starry sky.
Each finger is embellished with gems of different sizes and colors. The whole hands look like a jewelry box, so dazzling that it is blinding.
Although the gems seem to be randomly pasted on, Lu Yao has put a lot of thought into the color matching and design composition. This set of manicure looks jewel-like and extremely gorgeous, but upon closer inspection it is not tacky at all, but rather very high-end.
Probably because real gems were used, the stones looked even more sparkly after being shrunk. Lu Yao couldn't let go of them. He held Harold's hand and looked at them for a long time, then took out his cell phone and took pictures frantically.
Harold was naturally very proud. He raised his hand and shook it repeatedly just to see the gem refract different lights from different angles. He couldn't suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.
He is indeed a genius. He actually thought of using gems to decorate nails, which are even more sparkly than the little things used by the shop owner.
The door of the shop suddenly opened from the outside, and Si Jin walked in. He was not surprised to see Harold: "I have been waiting for you in the Black Mountain Wasteland for a whole morning."
