'Ah, how do I get used to these courtesan's clothes?!'
'My stomach is showing.'
'My collarbone is showing.'
'My arms are not covered.'
'I feel naked. (╥﹏╥)'
Reluctantly, Bing Shi removed her cloak, her dissatisfaction evident. Within a modest bathing area, she helped to clean up twenty girls covered in dirt. Dressed in not much more than a rag, their faces were a perfect picture of misery.
Bing Shi lulled the crying girl with azure-blue hair, gently washing her trembling body with a sponge, "Shh, don't worry... It's alright to be scared..."
Her gaze shifted to the group, her voice carrying strength as she continued, "Powerful women don't become strong out of nowhere. The harsh life is forcing us to grow inside and out."
She continued, "There is only much fate can help us, for we have to build our future by ourselves. Remember, no matter how much it breaks us apart, we will always rebuild ourselves and come back stronger than ever."
'~ Says the one who gave up.'
