Ah Yin Toyed with in the Palm of Qian Yunxiao's Hand

"Ah Yin, this outfit looks as though it was tailored just for you. You're a dream goddess who stepped out of the Deep Blue Dream."

By the time Ah Yin came out, ten minutes had already passed.

The two outside could not see anything amiss at all.

Looking at her like this,

she was clearly meant to be a proud and confident empress, yet she was bashful like the girl next door. Qian Yunxiao was utterly captivated, unable to pull himself free.

"Mhm."

Ah Yin had looked in the mirror inside and was very pleased with it herself.

Faced with Qian Yunxiao's praise, Ah Yin gladly accepted it in secret.

"Youlan, I'll have to trouble you to take Ah Yin's measurements. Try to have the clothes ready by tomorrow. Is that all right?"

On Douluo Continent, most tailors possessed martial souls related to things like scissors.

Such people could go further in the tailoring trade and were more skilled as well.

Two days would be more than enough.

"Qian Yunxiao, big brother, aren't you going to choose an outfit for yourself? You're the groom, after all."

Perhaps because Qian Yunxiao had talked Shui Youlan through things, she seemed to have gotten over it somewhat. Her tone was especially strange, yet it carried none of its usual sarcastic edge. Instead, it was downright coquettish.

Ah Yin came to her senses as well. "That's right, Hall Master. You should choose a wedding outfit too."

Shui Youlan's "big brother" made goosebumps rise all over Qian Yunxiao.

To be honest, although Qian Yunxiao had just lectured Shui Youlan, he was still somewhat worried.

If Shui Youlan confessed to Ah Yin now, Ah Yin would only think it was a lie she had fabricated in order to get him.

Yet Qian Yunxiao still wanted to keep both of his boats steady.

Fortunately, Shui Youlan was... obedient enough.

"Ah Yin, you can choose one for me."

Qian Yunxiao handed the choice over to Ah Yin.

Ah Yin did not refuse.

Qian Yunxiao had carefully chosen an outfit for her.

As Qian Yunxiao's "fiancée," Ah Yin naturally had to choose carefully for him.

If this had happened earlier, seeing Qian Yunxiao and Ah Yin being so tender and affectionate would have made Shui Youlan bitter beyond measure.

But now... she wanted to join Qian Yunxiao's plan and have some fun toying with Ah Yin.

Toy this enchantress until she broke.

Instead, she found herself looking forward to it.

The wedding outfit Qian Yunxiao had chosen for Ah Yin—

when Ah Yin was not around, Shui Youlan would borrow it to try on, or make herself an identical one.

In any case... there were plenty of plans.

In the end, Ah Yin chose a red one for Qian Yunxiao.

On Douluo Continent, weddings did not necessarily have to favor red.

It was simply that Ah Yin felt red and blue went very well together.

Red and blue made the perfect couple.

Besides, Qian Yunxiao usually wore white and yellow together. Wearing red now gave him an entirely different air.

Qian Yunxiao himself was much like the clothes he wore.

White and yellow intertwined.

On the surface, he looked like a righteous, refined gentleman in white.

Yet inside, he was too filthy to behold—a true emperor among perverts.

"Qian Yunxiao, big brother, the two outfits come to one million eight hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. Sister-in-law's set is nine hundred and ninety thousand, and yours is nine hundred thousand. I even rounded it down for you. Isn't your little sister good to you?"

Once Qian Yunxiao was satisfied with the wedding outfit Ah Yin had selected for him, Shui Youlan spoke up.

Together, the two wedding outfits were worth no more than one hundred and ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.

There were no wedding outfits worth millions in Skywater City.

Even if there were, no one in Skywater City could afford them.

And those who could afford them would not think much of them.

She was not swindling Qian Yunxiao. She was helping him.

After all, wouldn't spending millions of Gold Soul Coins on a woman be even more moving?

"That expensive..."

Ah Yin could not help blurting out when she heard that figure.

But she quickly shut her mouth, because she did not want to embarrass Qian Yunxiao.

Qian Yunxiao was the lofty Hall Master, and she could not act like a country girl who had never seen the world and lower his standing.

Of course, Ah Yin did not want Qian Yunxiao to spend so much money either. She merely tugged at his hand, signaling that they should forget it.

She had always been a frugal woman.

She could bear it if it were only tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins.

But when it came to hundreds of thousands or millions, Ah Yin did not dare act recklessly.

She might have been the Blue Silver Emperor.

But the entire Blue Silver Forest, aside from her, was not worth a million Gold Soul Coins combined.

"Don't worry, don't worry. It's only a little Gold Soul Coin. It's nothing if it's for you."

Qian Yunxiao wore a faint, confident smile, brimming with "adoration" for Ah Yin.

Ah Yin had nothing left to say, only joy and sweetness.

Qian Yunxiao did not pay at all. He simply told them to collect the money from Spirit Hall later, and that was that.

"Hall Master, isn't it too expensive... We don't need to spend that much."

Only after leaving Ice and Snow Romance did Ah Yin softly ask Qian Yunxiao.

Ah Yin did not even dare imagine what it would feel like to wear a million Gold Soul Coins on her body.

Qian Yunxiao only smiled. "Don't worry. You're priceless in my heart. Everything I earn is meant for you. Before you become my wife, you can't manage this money. When you truly become my wife, then you can manage me, all right?"

Anyone could say pretty things.

No man in the world could refuse a woman as exceptional as Ah Yin for a mere hundred thousand or so Gold Soul Coins.

Ah Yin was still too young. She had no idea how deep the waters of this world were.

Nor did she know how much malice Qian Yunxiao hid in his belly.

Qian Yunxiao's words made Ah Yin feel as though she had been cherished up in the clouds, and she began imagining what it would be like to manage the household in the future.

Little did she know that if she truly tried to manage Qian Yunxiao's spending, she would be greeted with sticks instead.

"Ah Yin, where would you like... our wedding home to be?"

After leaving Ice and Snow Romance, Qian Yunxiao held Ah Yin's jade-like hand in one hand and her fragrant shoulder in the other, practically drawing the beauty into his embrace.

Because Qian Yunxiao truly did not want to let this beauty slip away from his side.

Ah Yin answered somewhat uncertainly, "Um... wouldn't it be at your home, Hall Master...?"

Yes, in Ah Yin's view, should such a thing not be done at home? Qian Yunxiao smiled and answered, "My home? That's at Spirit Hall in Spirit City. Skywater City isn't my home."

One day, he would return to Spirit City and become its master.

"Oh, oh. I'll listen to all of your arrangements, Hall Master."

Ah Yin did not say anything else then, appearing especially obedient.

"Then... how about up there?"

Qian Yunxiao pointed toward the highest point in Skywater City.

It was a hotel, Skywater City's most prosperous hotel—Ice Crystal Palace.

It was also property of the Shui Family.

From there, one could overlook all of Skywater City! Qian Yunxiao wanted to stand on the highest balcony and conquer Skywater City while conquering the most beautiful woman within it.

He wanted Ah Yin pressed against the window, while he stood behind her.

While looking down from on high and ruling over the land, he would wield his spear and guide the beauty.

Just imagining that scene made it impossible to resist.

Ah Yin knew what sort of place it was and said softly, "It's a hotel..."

She had been there before.

The lodging fees were simply too expensive. Ah Yin could not afford to stay for long and could only give up.

"Come on. We'll buy it and make it our home. We'll live in the most luxurious room at the very top."

Qian Yunxiao pulled Ah Yin directly into the top floor of Ice Crystal Palace.

They were already more than sixty meters above the ground here.

To be precise, they were sixty-six meters high.

Given Douluo Continent's current construction capabilities, building something like this was already extraordinarily impressive.

The reason it could be built was largely because of Skywater City's environment.

At night, pouring a bowl of water onto a sand wall would form an ice wall.

It was by using this principle that they had created the most luxurious Heaven on Earth.
