In the carriage, Jadeite was fiddling with a lantern she had obtained from Duan Rong, clicking her tongue in appreciation.
"Who would have thought that Duan Rong, frail as he looks, has such remarkable skills? Miss, this Nine Heavens Mystic Lady drawn here is truly divine, so otherworldly." Holding the lantern's handle, Jadeite twirled the lantern around to admire the fairy painted on the gauze, her eyes revealing her fondness for it.
Painting on gauze is not easy at all, yet he managed to capture the likeness so vividly, which shows his dedication.
The lantern was designed to resemble a Palace Lantern, but unlike ordinary Palace Lanterns. It had iron wires as its frame, and the handle had a button to open and close it. Pressing the button, the exterior gauze would unfold, revealing another layer of misty shadowy lantern shade inside. Another press, and it would close up again as if the Mystic Lady was ascending to heaven—an extremely ingenious design.
