Let Me Sort This Out (2)
"..." Ye Lang stared blankly at Xuan Yuanbing.
"What are you looking at?!" Xuan Yuanbing said coquettishly.
"You look beautiful, but you're too dazzling!" Ye Lang said honestly.
"It's better to be blinded than to be exposed to the light. I forgot to change my clothes. Do you have any girls' clothes?" Xuan Yuanbing asked Ye Lang. On the surface, she seemed indifferent to Ye Lang's praise, but deep down, she really liked hearing Ye Lang say that she was beautiful.
"If you want girls' clothes, you should ask us. Why are you asking that little rascal? He doesn't bring any girls' clothes. "Ye Lanyu was about to speak.
Based on Ye Lanyu's understanding of Ye Lang, including the Seventh Princess and Zhen Xiaoyan present, they knew that Ye Lang never brought girls' clothes unless there were special circumstances.
This habit was also due to Ye Lanyu. After Ye Lang was made to wear women's clothing before, Ye Lang became very resistant to it.
However, they seem to have overlooked one factor!
"Yes, I have many here. If you like white, this one is fine!" Ye Lang said. "I have many here. If you like white, then this one is good!"
Ye Lang took out a white dress from Xiao Rui's ring. This was something he had prepared for Xiao Rui, and it was a factor that Ye Lanyu and the other two women had overlooked.
Ye Lang didn't carry women's clothing before, but later, because of Xiao Rui, he also collected some gorgeous women's clothing from nobles, but the clothes were always kept with Xiao Rui.
"Do you want some underwear..." Ye Lang suddenly asked as he handed over the clothes.
"..."
Ye Lang's words silenced everyone, including Xuan Yuanbing who was taking the clothes. She rolled her eyes at him but quickly returned to normal.
"Wait a minute, why is Xiao Rui here too?" Ye Lang suddenly realized this. He had just been doing things subconsciously, it was all out of habit.
This is also because Xuan Yuanbing has never asked him for clothes. In her dream, Xuan Yuanbing can get whatever she wants, and clothes are no exception. It's her dream, and she is the master of her dream!
"It's not just Xiao Rui, we're here too, it's just that you only have eyes for the Holy Maiden and have ignored us!!" Ye Lanyu said somewhat unhappily. She spoke only to remind Ye Lang that she existed and was not invisible.
"..." Ye Lang turned to look at Ye Lanyu, then looked around at the surroundings. "Why is today's dream so strange? Why did my fierce older sister run in here, and why are there other people here too!"
"What did you say? How dare you call me fierce?!" Ye Lanyu took a step forward, grabbed Ye Lang's ear, and started spinning it around.
"Ouch, it hurts! Why does it hurt? I'm dreaming!!" Ye Lang cried out in pain, and quickly became confused. Was he still dreaming?
"Dreaming my foot! What kind of dream are you having in broad daylight?! Tell me, how did you come to know this Holy Maiden?" Ye Lanyu slapped Ye Lang and questioned him.
"So it wasn't a dream after all. I don't know any Holy Maiden. I only know her... Hey, Xuan Yuanbing, why are you dressed like the Holy Maiden from before?" Ye Lang asked, looking at Xuan Yuanbing. He didn't seem to have realized that Xuan Yuanbing was the Holy Maiden.
"Because I am the Holy Maiden!" Xuan Yuanbing put on the clothes, and somehow made all the tattered clothes from before disappear.
Furthermore, she used Light Magic to "bathe" herself, removing all the filth from her body. Light Magic does include such purification spells.
"I know you're a leftover woman, no need to say it outright. Oh, I get it, so you want to get married quickly so you won't be a leftover woman anymore!!" Ye Lang slammed one fist into the other palm, looking as if he had just realized something.
"Go to hell!! I'm Holy Maiden, not a leftover woman! I'm only seventeen, I'm way too young to be considered a leftover woman!!!" Xuan Yuanbing said angrily, casting a spell to kill Ye Lang—
My ears, which were just red from being pinched by Ye Lanyu, are healed!!
Are you actually angry? If so, why did you heal his ear? Everyone present wanted to know the answer to this question!
Actually, this was just a habitual action of Xuan Yuanbing. In the dream, Ye Lang was often punished by her because it was her dream, so she was the most powerful and Ye Lang couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
That's why Ye Lang never ran away in the end, and accepted it gladly!
Of course, the biggest reason is that these punishments are merely formalities; in reality—they don't hurt at all!
How can you feel pain while dreaming?
However, after inflicting any physical harm on Ye Lang, Xuan Yuanbing would heal him with her Light Magic. No matter what kind of injury it was, as long as she saw it, she would give him a healing spell.
"Holy Maiden? You are the Holy Maiden?! You mean, the Holy Maiden I've been treating for half a month is you?" Ye Lang looked at Xuan Yuanbing with a surprised expression.
"So you finally understand? Why were you so slow to react?" Xuan Yuanbing said with a smile, looking at Ye Lang with her pure eyes, and kept looking at him like that.
From the very beginning until now, Xuan Yuanbing has been watching Ye Lang the whole time, without ever looking away!
Ye Lang seemed to be used to this, so he didn't pay much attention to it!
"Wait, let me sort this out! We've known each other for seven years, even though it was in a dream. But all things considered, it seems like we've spent more time together than with anyone else..."
"Well, I know everything about you except your identity, so you'd better behave yourself from now on and don't try to lie to me!! Otherwise, I'll make you pay not only in dreams but also in reality!!" Xuan Yuanbing interjected.
"I understand, I won't lie to you. Come to think of it, when have I ever lied to you!"
"No! But I was afraid you might lie to me, so I'm just giving you a heads-up!"
"Don't interrupt, I haven't finished getting ready yet!" Ye Lang said to Xuan Yuanbing, who then stuck out her tongue, looking extremely cute.
Xuan Yuanbing's action left the Holy Church members present stunned for a while; they couldn't believe their Holy Maiden would make such a cute gesture.
If it were when Xuan Yuanbing was a child, they would have thought it was normal, but ever since Xuan Yuanbing became Holy Maiden, she has been taught to be a noble and holy Holy Maiden.
As a noble and holy Holy Maiden, she cannot have human emotions or actions; everything must be so otherworldly, making her an ethereal fairy untouched by worldly concerns.
Ignoring Xuan Yuanbing's adorable actions, Ye Lang continued, "Where was I? Oh right, it's about how we meet in our dreams all the time, but since it's in a dream, we can't ask each other's identities..."
