Looking at Feng Xiyan’s red ears and flushed cheeks, Bai Hanyun was speechless.
"...." Feng Xiyan, I have already chosen the most modest clothing available at the photo studio. Why are you acting like I sent you nude photos?
Bai Hanyun sighed and scratched her head. Looking at Feng Xiyan, she explained, "That’s what we usually wear here."
Feng Xiyan looked up in shock at her words. A second later, he glanced at the ’indecent’ photos and blushed again.
Looking away, he frowned and thought, ’Is this how Fairy Bai dresses in Heaven? How could she show her arms and legs like that? How many men have seen her dressed this way?’
Not knowing his thoughts, Bai Hanyun added, "Since you can’t use those, I will take another photo and send it to you. You can return those to me."
As soon as she said that, Feng Xiyan instinctively covered the envelope behind his back and said, "Fairy Bai, Xiyan can use them."
"You just said they weren’t suitable," Bai Hanyun replied in confusion.
Shaking his head, Feng Xiyan said calmly, "No. Xiyan finds them very suitable."
Since he insisted, Bai Hanyun just shrugged and said, "Alright then. That saves me the effort of taking another one."
Hearing this, Feng Xiyan clasped his fists and smiled. "Xiyan thanks Fairy Bai for bestowing your image upon me."
Now that the matter of the photos was settled, Bai Hanyun informed him about the fabric.
"Feng Xiyan, I bought several warehouses’ worth of fabric for you and the others. Make sure to prepare enough space to store the fabric, thread, needles, and military tents."
When Feng Xiyan heard that they were going to have fabric to make new clothes and new tents, his eyes lit up. With a smile, he replied, "Yes, Fairy Bai."
Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Hanyun added, "I will contact you tomorrow when the goods are delivered. Good night, Feng Xiyan."
"Good night, Fairy Bai."
After exchanging farewells, Bai Hanyun ended the communication.
As the golden light surrounding the bronze mirror faded, Feng Xiyan returned to the long table. He sat down and took out the ten photos from the envelope.
As soon as he looked at them, his face turned redder than a tomato. The next second, his nose felt hot again, and blood dripped down.
Feng Xiyan quickly wiped it away and pinched his nose, all while still staring at the photos. After a long silence, he set them aside and prepared a piece of paper and a painting brush.
As he painted, time passed unnoticed. By the time he finished, the moon was already high in the night sky.
Looking at his painting, Feng Xiyan smiled with satisfaction. Glancing at the photos, he felt hot and quickly stuffed them back into the envelope.
After a moment of thought, he stood up, walked to his bed, and bent down to hide the envelope beneath the bamboo pillow. When he was done with that, Feng Xiyan let out a long sigh of relief.
Once he was sure no one could see the envelope, he turned around and called, "Someone, come."
Soon, a soldier entered the tent. Clasping his fists, he asked, "Great General, what are your instructions?"
Feng Xiyan went to the long table, carefully rolled up the painting, and placed it inside a long wooden box.
Handing the box to the soldier, he said, "Deliver this painting to General Fan. Have him contact the craftsmen to sculpt Fairy Bai’s golden body."
The soldier accepted the box and replied, "This subordinate will go immediately."
After the soldier left, Feng Xiyan rubbed his tired eyes and stepped out of the tent. Standing outside, he looked up at the night sky.
Tonight was the fifteenth. The moon was bright and round, looking exceptionally beautiful.
As moonlight bathed the world in silver, Feng Xiyan muttered, "Is Fairy Bai seeing the same moon as me?"
While he gazed at the moon, the night deepened, and the world fell into silence.
Early the next morning, Bai Hanyun was awakened by a string of messages from Li Dagou.
Yawning, she checked WeChat and then went to wash up before heading to the warehouse to receive the goods.
Today, in addition to the delivery from the Sweet Bun Bun store, Tan Hao would also be delivering vegetables and seasonal fruits to the warehouse.
When Bai Hanyun and Hua Yuyu arrived, Tan Hao and his brothers were already waiting there.
Seeing her step out of the car, Tan Hao walked over with a smile and said, "Good morning, Miss Bai. I’m here to deliver the vegetables and fruits. This might be our last batch for the season."
Hearing this, Bai Hanyun asked, "When will the next batch be ready?"
Tan Hao replied, "The earliest we can harvest the next batch is in two months."
Noticing her frown, he added, "However, if Miss Bai trusts me, I can help procure more vegetables through other channels."
A balanced diet was important for Feng Xiyan and the soldiers of the Feng Army, so vegetables and fruits were just as essential as grains and meat.
With that in mind, Bai Hanyun nodded and said, "Then I will leave the matter of procurement to you, Boss Tan. Since I still have plenty of vegetables in stock, let’s change the delivery schedule to once a week."
"No problem. Miss Bai can leave this matter to me."
After finalizing the new delivery plan and paying for the current batch of vegetables and fruit, Tan Hao and his brothers began moving the goods into the warehouse.
While they were working, Bai Hanyun’s phone rang. Seeing that it was Li Dagou’s delivery driver, she picked up the call.
A man’s voice responded a second later, "Miss Bai, we are near your warehouse. Can you receive the goods now?"
"Yes, I’m here," Bai Hanyun replied.
"Great. We will arrive in five minutes."
"Alright. I will be waiting for you."
After ending the call, Bai Hanyun turned to Hua Yuyu.
