After a moment, Lady Houtu came out from the back hall, already changed into a man's attire. Her upper body was dressed in a black form-fitting waistcoat, and her lower body wore a black skirt, with a big red skirt adorned with golden branches and green leaves underneath, which would reveal the red inner skirt as she moved—the contrast between black and red was quite striking.
Her hair accessories were much simpler, just tied up with a blue cloth, intertwined with a wooden hairpin.
She didn't wear any other earrings or head ornaments, only applied a thin layer of gauze on her face.
"We can depart now!" Lady Houtu said, her eyes sparkling, appearing very spirited.
Chen Shi thought for a moment and said, "Do you know what the Red Yuan Pill Furnace looks like, Lady?"
"I know!"
The two of them arrived at the lotus platform, leaped up, and jumped into the rosy clouds, following the glow.
Outside the rosy clouds, it was dim and obscure.
