Chapter 725: 374 Spiritual
Xiao Wang glanced at his watch from time to time: “It’s been more than half an hour. Is Ms. Ran ready yet?”
They would have to accept whatever the cover photo session produced this time.
Fortunately, Ms. Ran was currently very popular and highly talked about, even more so than top-tier celebrities. The editor had put in a lot of effort to schedule her.
But Ms. Ran was not like an ordinary celebrity; she had her own team and was not to be trifled with.
Xie Jiang adjusted the camera and laughed, “Don’t rush. It’s not that simple to do a makeover, especially for someone of her status.”
The set was almost ready, with blue skies, white clouds and vibrant flowers, like an instant return to spring’s warm and blooming days. The clusters of flowers were stunningly beautiful.
Xie Jiang exclaimed, “These are all real flowers.”
Where could you get so many real flowers at this time of year?
Ming Jing’s assistant brought over a cage covered with a cloth, looking quite mysterious.
Xie Jiang asked, “What’s inside?”
Tao Xianxian smiled, “You’ll see soon.”
The more she said that, the more curious Xie Jiang became.
Suddenly, Xiao Wang exclaimed, “How beautiful.”
Xie Jiang turned his head to look at the entrance. In the foggy winter weather, a girl dressed in vibrant flowers, with clouds like silk, slowly walked over, as if a fairy coming from a mythical world.
Her black hair was styled in a delicate braid, adorned with a few fresh and simple flowers on the side, making her neck look even more slender and her skin as white as snow.
As she approached, Xie Jiang held his breath, fearing that even breathing might disturb the fairy in front of him.
Is this Ming Jing?
When Ming Jing appeared in front of the camera, she usually didn’t wear makeup. A young girl’s face full of collagen didn’t need any cosmetics; makeup would only be a burden.
But the girl in front of him had light blue eyeshadow that made her eyes as wide as the sea, clear blue and able to embrace everything. People were rendered speechless, lost in those mysterious eyes.
Her red lips were like the peony at its most beautiful bloom, unrivaled and as fragrant as a national treasure.
A vine stretched from her collarbone to her right ear, like the handiwork of a divine artist, creating a perfect and stunningly beautiful atmosphere on her fair skin.
A light blue water lily adorned the girl’s brow; the pure nature of the lotus, untainted by the mud it grows from. It subdued her lip color, creating a fairy-like appearance with an icy jade-like texture, as if she had just walked out of a mythical world.
Such ultimate beauty, purity, and seduction were interwoven like ice, fire, summer, and winter, making her seem like a goddess high above the mortal world, sacred and untouchable.
It took Xie Jiang a while to find his voice, “Ms. Ming Jing? Is that you?”
He was afraid that speaking louder would disturb the goddess in front of him.
This goddess was not like any other.
The young girl smiled slightly, “Mr. Xie.”
When she smiled, Xie Jiang felt as if all the flowers in the world had bloomed.
“Your makeup is truly amazing,” Xie Jiang sincerely praised.
The theme of this issue was the relationship between humans and nature, and Ming Jing’s floral goddess look fit the theme perfectly, far surpassing the magazine’s proposals.
Ming Jing walked into the flower-filled photography studio, and without even striking a pose, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
Tao Xianxian removed the cloth from the cage, revealing several butterflies inside. She opened the cage, and the butterflies eagerly flew out.
Xiao Wang exclaimed in surprise, “It’s actually butterflies.”
It was impressive to see butterflies in the winter.
Tao Xianxian explained, “These are artificially bred butterflies. We have to return them after the shoot.”
Under these conditions, it would not be suitable for the butterflies to survive.
The butterflies fluttered their wings for a moment, then flew straight towards Ming Jing. One landed on the fresh flower in Ming Jing’s hair, while another settled onto the vine on Ming Jing’s collarbone.
The young girl extended her slender fingers, and a butterfly perched on her pale fingertip. Light cascaded from above, casting shadows on her eyebrows, the corners of her eyes, and on the butterfly on her fingertip.
The holy goddess smiled gently, like a deity who embraced all creatures. Even a humble butterfly was a spirit in its own right.
Xie Jiang excitedly pressed the shutter, his eyes filled with eagerness and passion, constantly changing angles, never pausing his shutter finger.
Under the lens, a series of stunning photographs came to life.
—
After the photo shoot, Ming Jing picked up the cage, and the butterflies seemed to obey her command. They entered the cage one by one, following her fingers.
Xiao Wang watched this scene, his face full of wonder, “Ms. Ming Jing, how do these butterflies listen to you so well?”
Ming Jing closed the cage and smiled, “All creatures have spirits. They know that I won’t hurt them.”
