Good flexibility can ensure body coordination, control ability, and moving speed, but the improvement of strength will make the muscle section thicker, and then the ligaments and tendons will become harder; the improvement of strength and flexibility will eventually conflict, so we have to find a balance point.Because of this, Baililin's flexibility training does not pursue the softness of the body too extreme.

If you want to ensure the flexibility and explosive power of your body, you can't stop training corresponding to both.

While training, the master and apprentice are constantly running in.At first, Baililin only liked the physical talent she showed, but after getting along for a long time, she became more and more satisfied with Eve's personality.Baililin Yao remembered the hardships she had suffered when she was studying with a teacher. She thought she couldn't keep silent like Eve, and she didn't even stop once when she lost consciousness due to pain during passive training.It wasn't until after this incident that Baililin realized that Eve's training progressed so quickly not because of her outstanding talent, but because she was too tolerant.Because of this, Baililin's attitude towards her gradually slowed down, so much so that she even cooked herself some nutritious meals with meat and vegetables for her apprentice.

But not long after, the two met Luo Tilan on the road. Since then, Baililin has become a little preoccupied.During the training process, Eve saw that she was not as strict and harsh as usual, and she was not used to it for a while.

She didn't know at that time that Baililin was worried about her apprentice and about Eve's future fate.

[64]The cat and the cat's partner (Part [-])

In history class.

Because Eve has been too busy recently, she actually fell asleep in class.At this time, she rested her head on a book, with one cheek resting on the soft leather cover, her two arms hanging under the big lecture hall table, and she fell into a deep sleep.

These days, Eve not only has to complete the courses at the training center and the academy, but also goes to Baililin for the next round of training, as well as the creation of the first draft of Fuge Manning's novel.

A few chuckles came from next to her ears, and Eve was awakened by the sound, and she didn't move her body, but barely opened her eyes.She saw Xilinya covering her mouth and smiling.Eve was still sleepy at this moment, she raised her head, stroked the hair beside her face, then turned her face to the other side and leaned against the table to continue sleeping.

After a while, there was a loud noise in the classroom, and it was the end of get out of class.Eve reluctantly opened her eyes and tidied up the books and notes on the table.

On the way back, Elvira seemed hesitant to speak, Xilinya didn't know what happened and seemed very happy, while Mara kept her head down and kept a low profile.

Now the time is close to the meal time, students whether they have classes or not have come out for activities one after another.Walking on the streets of Newcastle, many familiar faces passed by them. After walking for a distance, Eve finally noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around her.

After seeing Eve, those people either showed surprised and puzzled expressions, or had strange expressions as if they were holding back their laughter.

"Is there something on my face?" Eve stopped, and the other three also stopped.

She first looked at Xilinya, who shook her head with a serious face; Mara still hung her head, as if thinking about something; finally Elvira couldn't stand it any longer, and she silently took out a small mirror from her bag under Xilinya's stare, and handed it to Eve.

Eve picked up the mirror and looked at her own face.At this time, several very obvious black marks appeared on her originally fair and clear cheeks, three on the left and three on the right.

Eve returned the mirror to Elvira, suppressing the urge to beat Xilinya right away.She walked up to Xilinya, grabbed her by the collar and asked, "Is it you who painted the beard on my face?"

Seeing that she was angry, Xilinya felt a little scared in her heart, but she didn't show any timidity on the surface. She looked into Eve's eyes and nodded, showing no regrets.

"Is your revenge so strong? It's been such a long time, shouldn't it be over?" Eve's tone was filled with deep helplessness.

Xilinya didn't speak, but shook her head with a stiff expression and a smile. That move was very embarrassing in Eve's opinion.

Eve let go, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, poured some water on it, and began to wipe the marks on her face. Elvira held up the mirror for her very consciously.

But no matter how hard Eve tried, the black marks on her face were not wiped off at all, and there was not even a trace of ink on the handkerchief soaked in water.

"Hey! Xilinya, what did you use to draw?" Eve turned her head and asked, she felt as if there was a volcano in her heart that was about to erupt.

"A kind of eyebrow pencil, which can't be wiped off, but don't worry, it will fade after a while." Xilinya turned her head to the side and said lightly, "I didn't draw you a dark circle or a goatee. I'm already very restrained."

Seeing her like this, Eve finally couldn't hold back, walked in front of her angrily, and slapped her across the face.

The sound of this slap was neither clear nor loud, but it hurt everyone present.Hearing this voice, Elvira felt uncomfortable, and hurried forward to hold Eve, she was afraid that the two would fight again like last time.

Xilinya didn't have a seizure, she just covered her reddened left cheek and looked at Eve.

"You can take care of yourself." After Eve finished speaking, she took Elvira's wrist and left.

Seeing Eve walking away, Xilinya's eyes began to turn red, and she felt extremely sad. She squatted on the ground slowly, buried her face in her arms, and sobbed softly.Mara followed her and squatted down, patting her on the back lightly, without saying a word.

Eve slapped Xilinya across the face, but she didn't feel relieved afterwards, but became even more depressed.She didn't go out all day, and she didn't go to class in the afternoon. She just curled up on the bed in the bedroom, hugging a dandelion in one hand, and reading a book in the other.Eve didn't have an appetite for lunch, and Avella bought dinner, but she didn't eat much.There were three pairs of cat whiskers hanging on her face, and she kept drooping, looking pitiful.And in the next few days, she went out wearing a gauze hat, and she would only take it off during class. She and Xilinya broke up now. Not only did they no longer contact each other, but they even deliberately avoided each other.

In fact, the three-pointed cat whiskers are not that ugly, at most they look a little childish, and in terms of her peers, only Di dares to laugh at her face to face.

He said that she looked like a little fox. Since she had a few more beards, she always pouted her mouth and didn't even smile.

Eve was depressed not only because of the beard on her face, but also because of Xilinya's obsessive attitude, as if someone was behind her back. Every once in a while, Xilinya would have seizures several times, and the one a few days ago was especially excessive.

In the past few days, Eve didn't go to Shalan's because she was too embarrassed to go.If there are some messy things on the face, the other party will think that he is being bullied when he sees it. If he asks a few more questions and cares a few more words, then he will probably end up as a coward and a doormat in the eyes of the other party.

But this morning, because of Baflo's persistent and warm invitation, Eve still went to Shalan's house.

She turned into the room from the balcony, and when Shalan saw her appearance, she burst out laughing, and even coughed from her saliva.

Without her asking questions, Eve briefly explained the unlucky things that happened to her a few days ago.

"She said she used an eyebrow pencil." Eve pointed to the black stripes on her face and asked Salan, "Do you know what this is?"

"It's a kind of alchemy dye." Sha Lan replied with certainty: "It was first used to smear the body during sacrifices, but it is indeed very common in cosmetics now, and the one painted on your face is not cheap."

"Is there a way to remove this thing?" Eve asked sadly, "It's been almost a week now, why do you feel that the dye hasn't faded at all?"

"Have you been covering your face when you go out recently?"

"Yes."

"That's right, if you want it to fade, put it in a lot of sun for two weeks and the marks will disappear."

"Won't the whole face have to be tanned?"

"I didn't expose you to the sun." Sha Lan couldn't stop laughing when she spoke, and she wanted to laugh when she saw the cat's beard on the girl's face.

"Then is there a faster way to get rid of this thing?" Seeing her smiling happily, Eve felt even more depressed. "Now I know why some animals become so inferior after being shaved by their owners."

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore." Sha Lan took a deep breath, trying to calm down her emotions, "It is true that there is a special solvent that can wash off this dye, but it is corrosive to a certain extent, so I don't recommend it. You use it on your face."

"So there's no other way?" Eve's shoulders slumped.

"Not necessarily." Sha Lan stood up, "Wait for me a moment."

She walked quickly towards the room on the other side, and Bavolo, who was lying on the window sill basking in the sun, raised his head and ran with his tail up, following her master, as if he wanted to catch up with him for some delicious food.

After a sound of rummaging through boxes and boxes, Sha Lan came back with a box of things in her hand.She opened this exquisite little box, which contained all kinds of small bottles and cans, as well as brushes and pens of various shapes.

"What is this? You want to draw?" Eve was puzzled.

"I used to work part-time as a make-up artist for a drama theater in the Eastern City, and I haven't brought out these things for a long time." As Shalan said, she took out the glass vials and put them on the table, with a look of nostalgia in her eyes. Said: "It's quite interesting to do makeup for others, but it's a pity that I don't have many opportunities after I come here."

Saran poured different liquids and powders into a glass container and stirred them with a flat-bottomed brush to make the dark and light colors blend into one.She first smeared the cat's beard with a lump of ointment, then dotted the prepared liquid on Eve's face and forehead, and gently spread it with a brush to spread it evenly.

The liquid was ice-cold, and Eve closed her eyes and asked Sha Lan, "Isn't it okay to just apply it on the black mark?"

"It's not symmetrical like that, don't talk, just wait and see."

Make-up is like painting. You need to spread different pigments on the canvas in an orderly manner, from dark to bright, to unify the tone; to highlight what you want others to see, to transition from secondary factors to shadows, and to gradually increase the level of detail. The overall density and order.

Shalan bent down and got very close to Eve's face.She supported Eve's head with her left hand, and a thin soft brush was hanging on the tip of her right finger, drawing her eyeliner.Eve looked at Sha Lan with one eye open, and leaned halfway on the sofa, feeling the cool brush strokes on her eyelids.Salan was concentrating and held her hands steady. She carefully painted the roots of Eve's whalebone-like eyelashes black without leaving any flaws.Eve held her breath and didn't dare to move. She never thought that this act of putting makeup on someone could be so intimate—the two were facing each other, and their faces were so close, Eve raised her eyes and felt so intimate. I can see the other party's focused gaze, and the other party seems to be looking at me, her face is a bit distorted because she is too close; and the silence from the beginning to the end is both thrilling and reassuring of.

Eve only felt her heart beating violently, and because she couldn't calm down, her legs began to move non-stop.

"Don't move, bear with it for a while." Sha Lan held her leg.After drawing the eyeliner, she gently blew on the girl's eyelashes, the cosmetic solvent mixed with the faint fragrance between her lips and teeth, refreshing her nose.

"Have you ever put on makeup before?" Salan asked Eve.

"You think I still use makeup like this?" Eve asked her back.

"Why not? Makeup is not just used to cover up your ugliness." Shalan said, "Sometimes, makeup is a process of shaping and implying. You have to convince yourself to become the person you see in the mirror today."

"Just... to improve your mood?"

"Well, it's kind of similar." Shalan took out a long silver object from the box, opened the lid, and pushed out a deep red soft solid from the bottom—it turned out to be a metal tube of lipstick.

"Don't use this thing. I have to go to class later, so the impact is not good." Eve swallowed, she was a little nervous at this moment, as if the other party was holding a knife in her hand.

"I know, I know, it won't be obvious, so don't worry." Sha Lan moved closer to her, and said in a gentle and commanding tone, "Open your lips."

Eve opened her mouth wide open all of a sudden, as if she was seeing a dentist. Salan giggled a few times watching her, and then pushed her chin to make her close her mouth until the angle was right.The cold and sticky solid slid on the inside of the lips, with a sweetness of lipids, giving her the illusion of "this is food".After applying the lipstick, Shalan used a brush to gently sweep over her lips, spreading the alluring red evenly from the inside to the outside.

"Salan, how old are you this year?" Eve asked her after finishing applying the lipstick.

"Why do you ask this?" Sha Lan narrowed her eyes and laughed.The voices of the two were very small, and their tone was very flat, as if they were whispering.

"Nothing, just curiosity."

"I was born in [-]."

"That's 29 years old." Eve figured it out immediately.Shalan was actually one year older than Di Geng.Eve thought.

"What about you, how old are you?" Sarah asked.

"Just ten years younger than you." Eve replied.

"Nineteen?" Sha Lan stopped rubbing powder on her hands, carefully measuring the girl in front of her, "Are you 19 years old?"

"It's nineteen years old." Eve said, "A doctor said it was because of race, but I don't know exactly what happened, but don't worry, I'm still growing."

"Really, then I really look forward to your appearance in a few years." After finishing the steps of setting makeup, Sha Lan pulled her up and led her to sit on the chair in front of the mirror.Looking at herself in the mirror at this time, Eve couldn't help but gasped.

It was not as smeared as she imagined, everything started from her original appearance, but it was more thorough, like a lotus in water, deep and shallow, stars and shadows.Those clear and moving eyes and full and seductive lips seemed to hide some kind of magic, so bright that people couldn't move their eyes away.At this time, Eve seemed to have returned to the unbelievable and dreamlike feeling when she saw her face for the first time.She stretched out her hand to touch her face, but Sha Lan pulled her down. She was startled, and then recovered from the shock.

The traces on the face can no longer be seen.

Seeing Eve's surprise, Shalan couldn't help being very proud. She untied the hair accessories and bandages on Eve's head, and asked her, "What did you just say? You said——you don't need makeup ?”

"Sorry, I shouldn't be speaking out in areas I'm not familiar with."

"What's the matter? I'm not asking you to apologize. How can I say it so seriously?"

"Because I really think you are too powerful." Eve looked through the mirror and looked at the woman behind her who was staring at her. "The makeup you put on...is like a work of art."

"Yeah, your talent and my skills add up to a work of art." Sha Lan rubbed her head, and they both laughed at the same time.

Eve's hair is very long, and she can control many hairstyles. Salan braided her hair and put it behind her head. Her bangs were also combed to the side, revealing one ear; her neck became more slender and fair against the backdrop of this classical hairstyle.

Looking at the girl in the mirror, Shalan was also amazed.The makeup she put on for Eve was mainly in a mature style, and when the young girl made her debut in this way, Salan could already vaguely see her future appearance.

"I don't want to go to class anymore." Eve suddenly sighed.

"what happened?"

"I always feel that it is a bit inappropriate for me to go to class like this."

"You can go to class with a cat's beard, and you'd be embarrassed if you dress up a little?" Sha Lan said with a smile: "This is not what you want. You didn't draw the black mark on your face yourself, so why not cover it up?"

Eve is convinced by her.

So, during a herbal medicine class in the morning, her new image successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Di Geng has been paying attention to the girl since she entered the lecture hall. Seeing her walking towards this side step by step, Di Geng couldn't move his eyes. Like a blind man suffering from epilepsy, he grabbed Lin Xin's arm beside him and said to him, "What kind of person do you think is worthy of her? The emperor? If so, then I have to work hard now to become the emperor as soon as possible."

Lin Xin looked at Di Geng with sympathy, and he felt that his companion might be going crazy.

Although what Salan said made sense, Eve found that the current situation was worse than a few days ago when she came to class with a cat's beard.During class, most of the people were peeking at Eve who was sitting in the back row. Due to the frequency of this, the teachers on the stage could no longer ignore her behavior, so the class couldn't go on.

[65]The cat and the cat's partner (Part [-])

After class, Eve was grabbed by Baililin who was guarding the door.Maybe it's where she got Eve's class schedule, or it just happens to be her professional specialty. In short, whenever she wants, she can always catch Eve at the first time.

"Makeup?" Baililin looked suspiciously at the completely new girl in front of her.

"Hmm." Eve moved her lips, her expression a little stiff.Due to the coating on her face, she has not yet been able to control her facial movements very well.

"Not bad, at least the makeup matches your face."

Baililin didn't say anything else, she took Eve back to her residence in the garrison.She arranged her time very tightly. She went back to training at this time, settled her lunch here at noon, and went back to class in the afternoon, so she could spare more than three hours of training time.It has to be said that young people are full of energy. Even though they are so busy, Eve is still able to do things with ease, and even multitasks—thinking about what to have for dinner during class, thinking about how to write a novel while eating, memorizing Gufranto's grammar silently during training, and sorting out class notes while writing a novel... Eve doesn't know exactly how she did it.Although she didn't make any study plan, but judging from the results, she can indeed do things in an orderly manner.

Eve originally thought that Baililin and Shalan might be the same kind of people, after all, they are both excellent, independent and unmarried older beauties; but after getting along for a period of time, Eve found that Baililin was actually More like a hermitage.Although she usually dresses up brightly, she doesn't meet many people in Runlong Castle. When she walks, she always has her head lowered and her shoulders hugged, as if she is thinking about something, but in fact, this is just A deliberately alienated attitude towards people.

Afterwards, Baililin didn't express any opinion on Eve's makeup, but Eve could see that she actually cared about it—she didn't care about Eve herself, but the person who put on Eve's makeup.

"Come back after class in the afternoon, and I'll help you remove your makeup. It's not good to keep this thing on your face."

Eve froze for a moment, then said: "Shalan told me to go to her place in the evening, and she will help me."

"The one who put on your makeup?" Baililin asked with raised eyebrows.

Eve nodded.

"Okay then." Baililin said, "Go to her place today. However, if you care so much about the marks on your face, come to me first next time, and I will help you make up, the effect will definitely be better good."

So, after training in the morning the next day, Eve came to Baililin first—from here to Shalan's house, passing the garrison along the way.There is a first time for everything. After seeing the magical effect of makeup on her body, Eve is not so resistant to this matter.

Yesterday, Shalan's makeup technique was like oil painting, a technique of light, shadow and color; but today, Baililin's makeup technique is more like sculpture, clearly demonstrating the art of light and shade and modeling.

Eve looked at herself in the mirror, even more surprised than yesterday.

"Is this me?" Eve looked left and right, "Why can't I recognize myself?"

"By changing the light and dark relationship of the face, the facial features can be slightly changed. By changing some shadows of your eyebrow arches and cheekbones, I can make your head outline have some characteristics of snow mountain elves." Baililin Said, "I don't do makeup for you when you have nothing to do, but I want you to follow suit."

"I'm too busy training every day, so I still have to learn this?"

"Your appearance is a big problem. If you can't learn to hide it, you will stumble on it sooner or later."

"That is to say, to learn how to make up, and then make yourself look ugly?" Eve became interested.
