Chapter 192: The Power of the Law of Beauty
Overwhelming camera flashes made the night appear as bright as day.
The crowd was boisterous, like a surging tide.
The moment the door of the white carriage slowly opened, a scream that seemed to pierce the sky ignited the atmosphere of the entire scene to its peak.
"Huh? Why isn't Miss Jia Na coming down yet?"
Looking at Zhu Li-Ann who had just gotten off the carriage, Xi Lin's face couldn't hide her disappointment.
"Have some patience, intern."
Hearing Xi Lin's complaint, Matthew, who was still holding up the camera next to her, continued to stare intently at the white carriage not far away.
"Didn't you notice the commotion at the entrance of the Purple Hibiscus Auction House?"
Just as Matthew said, without realizing it, quite a few people had started coming out from inside the Purple Hibiscus Auction House, whose entrance was separated from the crowd by a barrier.
Among these people were David-Berg and others who had just gotten off the carriage not long ago.
"Could it be—."
"Look, it's really Miss Jia Na!"
Before Xi Lin could fully react, a trembling scream immediately pulled her attention back.
Almost instinctively, without even seeing the figure clearly, Xi Lin immediately aimed her camera at the white carriage, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
A cold wind howled, carrying scattered snowflakes.
During the three-hour wait, Xi Lin should have been shivering from the cold, but at this moment, she seemed to have forgotten the cold... She even forgot to press the shutter button in her hand.
"Jia Na, watch your step."
"Thank you."
With Zhu Li-Ann's careful assistance, Jia Na, with the most appropriate smile on her face, slowly stepped down from the carriage.
Her slender neck, skin like white porcelain, and a water-blue long dress that swayed like a fish tail...
The moment she saw Jia Na, Xi Lin, who had always prided herself on her literary talent, found her vocabulary for describing beauty so lacking.
It was as if all words used to describe beauty became pale and powerless at this moment.
Just like the stars in the night sky, no matter how bright they are, the moment the moon appears, they only become dim and overshadowed backdrops.
Just like at this moment, the street, which was extremely noisy just now, seemed to have all its images paused the moment Jia Na appeared.
Except for the rapid breathing and intense heartbeats, everyone's ears seemed to have gone deaf.
No other sounds could be heard. 【Law of Beauty: Beauty of Appearance】
Beauty of the skin fades, but beauty of the soul endures;
Every smile, every gesture, is Extraordinary.
Simply the most superficial application of the power of the Beauty Law Fragment, Jia Na, possessing Extraordinary Charm, truly achieved the sensational effect of "beauty is a weapon" at this moment.
The power of the mind is everywhere, and the Law of Beauty is best at directly striking the heart.
Everyone affected by the Law of Beauty will unconsciously "love" Jia Na from the bottom of their hearts.
This "love" is not mixed with desire, not mixed with self-interest, and certainly not mixed with any negative emotions.
This is the most direct love for "beauty" from all creatures capable of discerning beauty and intuitively feeling beauty, under objective laws.
Perhaps there are ten thousand kinds of aesthetics in the eyes of ten thousand people, but at this moment, everyone affected by the Law of Beauty will have a uniform feeling about Jia Na's "beauty of appearance."
This feeling directly strikes the heart and is imprinted on the soul.
Unlike the law of love, which hooks into desire, causing lovers to go mad and crazy, willing to sacrifice their lives, the Law of Beauty will only dissolve all hostility into nothingness, leaving only heartfelt "love."
"Click—"
With the sound of a crisp shutter, as if the gray-white image suddenly regained color, the people who had been frozen in place at this moment regained their clarity.
Shutter sounds, flashes, shouts, discussions - the street, which was extremely quiet a moment ago, at this moment returned to its original bustling state of human voices.
"Miss Jia Na, please look this way!"
"Miss Jia Na, please smile at me!"
"Miss Jia Na—"
Like everyone else, Xi Lin, who occupied the best position in the front row, also called out Jia Na's name loudly, almost pleadingly, in order to capture a first-person perspective photo of Jia Na looking at the camera.
"Did you get it?"
"Master, I got it!"
Hearing Matthew's question from beside her, Xi Lin's gaze was still chasing Jia Na's receding figure, and she said excitedly.
"I mean the moment she got off the carriage."
"Ah, at that time, I was too excited—I didn't get it."
The excitement and shock of seeing Jia Na in person for the first time still made Xi Lin's heart pound uncontrollably, unable to calm down for a long time.
Not just her, everyone in the scene at that moment was in a state of brain freeze and couldn't even think about taking pictures.
"I didn't get it either."
Xi Lin, who was slightly blaming herself, widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard Matthew's answer, looking at him.
"If even a Master like you didn't get it... then I feel much more balanced."
After all, Matthew was the chief reporter of the Turin Daily. In addition to his unique perspective on news interpretation, his shooting and capturing skills were enough to amaze professional photographers.
Generally speaking, there was only whether Matthew wanted to shoot, but never anything he couldn't shoot.
"These materials are enough... The next step is the photos inside the auction house."
As all the guests officially completed their appearance, the onlookers outside who were simply joining the fun and had no intention of bidding, as well as the reporters with work purposes, could also enter the public hall one after another to observe the bidding.
The reason the Purple Hibiscus Auction House invited Turin reporters this time, in addition to creating momentum for the opening ceremony, was also to use the media to publicize the heritage and strength of the Purple Hibiscus Auction House.
After all, no matter how grand the opening ceremony was, it was only a means of creating momentum to attract public attention in the initial stage.
And if the Purple Hibiscus Auction House truly wanted to gain a foothold in Turin, the core competitiveness still lay in the upcoming auction items...
"Jia Na, you are truly beautiful today."
Watching Jia Na slowly enter the hall, David-Berg and the others waiting at the entrance couldn't help but repeat their exclamations.
Unlike Anna-Moonshadow's sexy outfit with a black slit dress, Jia Na's dress was a slightly elaborate and luxurious water-blue long gown with a train.
To match Jia Na's current character image in "song of the ocean," Zhu Li-Ann also specially used pearl hair accessories in the shape of clam shells as an embellishment for her updo design.
Even the choice of eyeshadow was a pearlescent color.
However, these makeup designs seemed so insignificant in the face of Jia Na's absolute beauty...
