“No, don’t come any closer! If you take another step, I’ll scream for help!”
“Hmph, screaming until your throat is hoarse won’t do you any good! Come on, come on, quickly take off your hat and your pants too…”
“Wait, why do I need to take off my hat and pants just to measure my bust? Absolutely not!!!”
“I’ll find a staff member to measure me. Mo Yuan, get out!”
“Tsk…”
‘Did you just click your tongue?’
“Huh? You must have misheard me.”
With considerable effort, Lin Xuan finally managed to usher Mo Yuan out of the fitting room. She then found a staff member to measure her bust.
While the staff member’s gaze was still undeniably fervent, it was a vast improvement over Mo Yuan’s wolfish intensity. At the very least, they wouldn’t just casually lay hands on her.
‘Good heavens, was the goddess truly such a person?’ Lin Xuan mused.
After her bust was measured (Do you want to know the size? I won’t tell you!), Lin Xuan began to examine this peculiar item called a ‘bra.’
“This… do I just clasp it on? Ow, ow, ow, it’s pinching my skin…”
“Lin Xuan, are you alright? Perhaps I should help you…”
“Get out!”
Though utterly inexperienced with such an item, Lin Xuan had referenced similar information when writing her novels. After a bit of struggle, she successfully put it on.
It felt a little snug, but it was far more comfortable than a binding bandage. A significant improvement indeed.
“Hmm? Let me see. It fits perfectly, doesn’t it? But I think this pure white lace one might suit you even better! How about…”
“No!!!”
Ultimately, due to Lin Xuan’s vehement protests and the increasing crowd in the store, Mo Yuan finally abandoned her attempts to force her into provocative lingerie.
‘Honestly, why does the goddess’s true personality feel a bit like a hooligan?’ Lin Xuan thought.
“Alright, since we’ve bought the underwear, let’s go browse some women’s clothing stores next!”
“Uh, let’s skip that for now… I have quite a few women’s clothes at home already…”
“Oh? A few hundred sets?”
“Hahaha, how could I have that many? Just a few sets!”
“How can such a cute girl like you not have hundreds of outfits to change into? Come on! Today, Big Sister is treating you to new clothes! As for how you’ll repay me later, hehe…”
“No need. I have enough money to buy clothes myself.”
“Tsk…”
“Mo Yuan, be honest with me. Did you just click your tongue again?”
“Huh? No, you must be hearing things!”
Subsequently, swayed by Mo Yuan’s fervent enthusiasm, Lin Xuan reluctantly purchased a few more sets of women’s clothing. She even tried on some women’s shoes.
“Someone as adorable and alluring as you, who perfectly combines both, is especially suited for these high heels!”
“Uh, is that so?”
“Come on, come on, try them on!”
Under Mo Yuan’s eager encouragement, Lin Xuan, half curious and half reluctant, slipped on the tall, slender high heels. As expected, she stumbled and fell after only two steps.
Strangely, however, at the very moment she fell, her body inexplicably reacted. She executed a graceful spin in mid-air and landed steadily on her feet once more.
The entire movement flowed like water, seamless and captivating to behold.
“Eh?!”
‘Was I… this amazing?’
“Lin Xuan?”
Just as Lin Xuan was lost in thought, Mo Yuan’s voice suddenly broke through, startling her. Her legs instinctively buckled, and her foot twisted to the side.
“Ah!”
“Lin Xuan, are you alright?!”
“Ugh, I’m fine, hiss, it’s just my foot feels a bit…”
“Ah, it seems you’ve sprained your ankle. It looks like we need to go home for some emergency treatment first!”
Before Lin Xuan could utter another word, Mo Yuan’s expression suddenly turned serious. She immediately helped Lin Xuan to her feet.
“Wait, Mo Yuan, I’m fine…”
‘I don’t want our rare date to be ruined like this!’
“Wait, which home are we going back to?”
“Why even ask? Mine, of course!”
“!?”
Ignoring Lin Xuan’s shock, Mo Yuan helped her out the door and hailed a taxi, heading straight for her own home. By the time Lin Xuan regained her senses, she had already arrived at the place she had always dreamed of.
“You sit here for a moment. I’ll go get the ointment.”
“Mm, alright.”
Mo Yuan’s home was clean and tidy, just as she appeared on the surface. Every item was meticulously placed, perfectly aligned. There wasn’t a speck of dust on the tables or other surfaces.
A few potted plants adorned the windows and corners of the rooms. For some reason, upon entering this house, Lin Xuan felt a sense of peace and refreshment.
“Mo Yuan? Mo Yuan, are you here?”
After waiting for a while and still not seeing Mo Yuan, Lin Xuan’s curiosity led her to follow the path Mo Yuan had taken around a corner.
It was strange, her foot actually hadn’t hurt much ever since she twisted it. However, seeing the goddess worry about her so much still made her quite happy.
The corner led into a not-too-long hallway, with two room doors on either side. It seemed Mo Yuan must have entered one of them.
“Mo Yuan, are you in here?”
Hoping for an answer, Lin Xuan pushed open one of the seemingly ajar room doors. Her eyes were immediately met with vast expanses of books and a single bed, neither too big nor too small.
On the nightstand beside it, a stack of 50 books they had just bought today was piled high. Subconsciously, she scanned the rest of the room.
She saw many posters of different monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. One poster of a Nine-tailed Fox was the largest, occupying more than half a wall. Looking to the other side of the room, she saw various clay and wooden figurines, also of different monsters.
There were eight shelves in total, with six of them entirely dedicated to various Nine-tailed Foxes, Fox Maidens, mature Fox Maidens, loli Fox Maidens… Above the shelves were plastered with screenshots of posters and private photos of the currently most popular ‘Lingyun Shangxian’ online.
‘It seems Mo Yuan isn’t as proper as I thought… Wait a minute!’
In that instant, the keen ‘old blind monk’ detected a crucial detail! Without a second thought, she quickly closed the door, her face solemn.
‘Why are there so many posters of me? Isn’t Mo Yuan uninterested in the streaming world? Doesn’t that mean I’m in danger…?’
“Oh, how did you end up here?”
“Uh, Mo Yuan, about that, where are your parents?”
‘Calm down, calm down, change the subject first!’
“Hmm? I live alone!”
“Oh, I do too, hahaha…”
“Let’s not talk about that for now. You sprained your ankle earlier, right? Which foot was it, left or right? Let me see!”
