Uchiha Yin couldn't help but marvel.
The verse meant that if a beautiful young woman glanced at the soldiers guarding a city, they would drop their weapons and let its walls fall. If she glanced at an emperor who ruled the world, he would lose his heart to her and his kingdom would fall. Such beauties often brought ruin to cities and nations. Even so, no one could bear to pass up the chance to win one's heart. A woman like that was rare in this world; once the chance was gone, it might never come again.
Uchiha Yin had once dismissed the idea. But the moment Kaguya smiled, he understood the verse.
Kaguya Otsutsuki had always been a beauty who could topple kingdoms. Her perpetually expressionless face had simply hidden much of her charm...
Now she smiled, and the sight was intoxicating.
Beacon fires lit to fool the feudal lords, all to win a beauty's smile.
Kaguya Otsutsuki was worth that much.
Hearing the verse Uchiha Yin had recited, Kaguya's lovely face flushed an even deeper red.
Perhaps out of shyness, Kaguya Otsutsuki returned to her expressionless look.
But her shifting gaze betrayed the turmoil in her heart.
"That's right. I'm back." Uchiha Yin gently drew Kaguya into his arms.
"I still like you best when you smile," Uchiha Yin said, giving Kaguya Otsutsuki's cheek a gentle pinch.

"Do you?" Kaguya Otsutsuki smiled again.
"That's it. Smile more often. You look even prettier that way," Uchiha Yin said.
"Who taught you that?" Uchiha Yin asked, holding Kaguya from behind.
"Aino said you might like it when I smile, my husband." Kaguya's eyes flickered as she glanced at Aino.
At Kaguya Otsutsuki's words, Uchiha Yin looked toward Aino.
Panic flashed across Aino's face.
