Joyous Union Bodice, A Gentleman Must Thoroughly Go Native

"Forgot your clothes?"

Having just absorbed some new mysteries from the "Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram," Li Mo had almost forgotten them all.

That's not right.

Last time in Yun Province, she emptied out an entire clothing store and put everything into the Sumeru Object in the Ice Block.

Moreover, she possesses an incredibly magical martial art; changing her appearance in the blink of an eye is as easy as playing a game for her.

How could you not have any clothes to wear?

emmmm

Etc.

At this moment, their tacit understanding became fully apparent, and the upright and gentlemanly Xiao Li realized, damn it, that he understood.

Underwear...

After all, the store in Yun Province sells ready-made clothing, not underwear.

As for martial arts...

What legitimate martial art could have the ability to change underwear? It seems highly unlikely.

Are they underwear worn close to the skin?

"..."

The Cold Fairy behind the screen remained silent for a long time before finally nodding slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:

"Um."

Wait a minute.

Li Mo nodded. He was only halfway through comprehending the Somersault Cloud in the Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram.

I never expected this.

It'll be useful so soon!

Looking at the Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram, the upright and virtuous Xiao Li seriously calmed his mind and tried to comprehend the profound and mysterious supernatural Divine Ability within the Divine Intent.

"The Somersault Cloud, the most profound and mysterious technique of leaping and flying in the world, contains the wonder of traversing vast distances in a short distance. Therefore, when mastered, one can travel 108,000 li in a single somersault..."

"The Monkey Brother learned it overnight back then, and I've grasped the basics, so it's no problem for me."

"I heard from the locals in the restaurant that there are shops selling women's clothing on West Street? They seem to have a wide variety of styles. The atmosphere in Southern Border is very open; you can tell just by looking at the clothes."

"I don't know about underwear... I'm sorry, Monkey Brother."

Little Li pinched himself and then earnestly began to study and comprehend the Somersault Cloud again.

Because of the tight schedule, he even used his martial arts insights.

[Ten years of martial arts insights successfully infused.]

[Year One: You begin to follow the methods in the Divine Ability, practicing somersaults, wiping, walking, and ignoring! You succeed on your first try! However, due to the vast difference between the movements and the Divine Intent, you only manage to summon a wisp of mist.]

[Sixth Year: Your movements are becoming increasingly precise; with a flip, you can summon large amounts of clouds and mist, soaring into the air amidst the mist. However, the speed is not as miraculous as you imagined.]

[Year Nine: You no longer need to do somersaults; you can soar through the clouds in the blink of an eye, and your speed is now vastly different, but you still haven't reached the point where you can see a world just inches away.]

[In the tenth year, you seem to sense something: you're not 'light' enough.]

A flood of insights welled up within me.

Li Mo seemed lost in thought.

Although the Somersault Cloud can be used to gain insights into martial arts, it is not like martial arts that requires accumulated training over time and is divided into major, minor, perfect, and transcendent levels.

The effect of this Divine Ability is the same as that of the Diamond Indestructible.

It only concerns him as a 'person'.

"I'm not light enough..."

Li Mo frowned. It was no use using martial arts insights now; what he needed was a specific opportunity.

Without the right opportunity, all the time spent sitting around doing nothing is in vain.

His enlightenment this time didn't take long, only a few minutes.

The room was still filled with a misty atmosphere and a subtle fragrance.

Li Mo stopped worrying about whether he was 'light' or not, and turned his head to see the 'Quiet Shadow of the Jade Wall' on the screen, with the girl's eyes lowered.

Um...

The Ice Block is still waiting for clothes.

Actually, she could also use the clouds to cover herself; didn't she do it last time? Why did she forget this time?

"Ice Block, I'm going to buy you a few close-fitting clothes. I'll be right back."

Call--

The clouds surged and mist rose from beneath Li Mo's feet. This weightless mist lifted him up and carried him out of the window.

Ying Bing raised her eyes and watched the boy's shadow fly out of the window.

She couldn't help but pick up the Big-Headed Doll and ask it in her heart:

When will you learn a new move?

Those with profound Inner Scene can only fly by relying on their domain, and even then, it's quite a commotion.

Other methods could also make the Divine Observation fly, such as her Green Phoenix Wings, but no matter what method was used, there would be fluctuations in vital energy.

But Li Mo didn't.

It was as if a cloud had suddenly drifted by and carried him away.

He seems to always come up with some amazing methods that even he himself has never seen before.

"Can you afford it...?"

Big-Headed Doll can't talk.

So Ying Bing gave a light snort, flicked its forehead with her index finger, and made it spin a few times in the water.

"Um?"

"It feels like flying, it's pretty exciting!"

Riding his Somersault Cloud, Li Mo, overjoyed at the sight of his prey, performed several 360-degree spins in the air, dodging and weaving with various agile and difficult maneuvers.

It felt as if the Somersault Cloud moved at will, incredibly agile.

Most importantly, it's extremely fast!

While not as miraculous as somersaulting 108,000 li in one go, it's still equivalent to 2.8 Huang Donglai.

"Greenwood City is so big!"

"I wonder if this Somersault Cloud can carry people? Hmm... it seems not, the Ice Block can fly on its own."

Feng Xu rode the wind, overlooking the myriad lights of Greenwood City.

Little Li felt the same excitement he had when he bought a new car and couldn't resist driving it even when he went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes.

Not long after.

He found the shop that specialized in selling women's underwear and then dispelled his Somersault Cloud at the street corner.

Upon entering the shop, you'll find the owner is a middle-aged woman from southern Southern Border, and business is quite good at the moment.

As soon as Li Mo entered, he was greeted with all sorts of stares.

"Young man, we don't sell men's clothes here."

The female boss thought he had come to the wrong place.

"I bought it for someone else," said the upright and gentlemanly Xiao Li with a straight face.

"Hahaha."

"Young man, you're not a local, are you?"

"Such a grown young man, buying clothes for his wife?"

Laughter, like the calls of beautiful women, drifted from the clothing store.

Of course, this is also because Little Li is sunny and handsome, and his feigned composure is tinged with a hint of nervousness, which makes people unable to help but laugh.

If it were a burly man with lecherous eyes, he would have been kicked out long ago.

"What's your wife's figure?" the proprietress asked again.

"Probably... that's it..."

The upright and virtuous Xiao Li thought for a moment, and then a brilliant idea struck him.

He pointed across the street to the large meat buns made in the Southern Border, a style adapted from the Central Plains, but with a more rustic touch—a single bun could fill a man's stomach.

"The young man is quite lucky."

The proprietress clicked her tongue and then asked with a smile:

"I have many styles here. I don't know which ones she likes, so you can pick some that you like."

These words were spoken.

A woman's soft spitting and low laughter could be heard coming from inside the clothing store.

This thing, besides being worn by oneself, can only be worn for one's husband to see.

"What I like? Well, a normal style is fine, the kind a gentleman would choose."

Li Mo coughed lightly, looked up and saw a dazzling array of styles hanging on the counter, giving him the feeling that a new world had opened up before him.

Some of them are styles from the Central Plains, nothing much to say about them.

Some are from Southern Border, mostly featuring cool and refreshing fabrics, and not only the materials but also the unique designs—some even more alluring than the coolest summer clothes...

"Oh, look at what you're saying. Gentlemen don't even step foot inside."

Following Li Mo's gaze, the proprietress smiled and said:

"Young man, this is called Joyous Union Bodice."

"This is a local style from Southern Border. It's made of Pearl White Lotus Silk, and it's not cheap."

Why is it called Joyous Union Bodice?

Some women who are lonely or experiencing relationship problems will buy this style...

"I'll take them all."

Little Li the Gentleman doesn't understand those things.

Buying Southern Border made styles in Southern Border is called "when in Rome, do as the Romans do".

A wise person understands this principle and should thoroughly adapt to local customs.

The audience was probably tired of it all; they weren't even bothering to charge the little flop's phone anymore...
