Bad Ice Block!
"Would you like to take a look at this style, sir?"
Several of the shop's prized items, made from Pearl White Lotus Silk, were sold out. Knowing that a wealthy customer had arrived, the proprietress's smile became even more enthusiastic.
"Your wife must also be from the Central Plains? Take a look at this one too."
"Central Plains style?"
Looking at the tightly fitted design, Li Mo said in a serious tone:
"I think it's pretty good, but she probably won't like it."
What about this one?
"This Central Plains style didn't capture the essence; it's slightly lacking in literary flair..."
"..."
The proprietress glanced at the boy for a few seconds, then found it amusing.
She then picked up a piece in the style of Southern Border.
What about this one?
Gentleman Li remained silent for a long time. It wasn't a two-piece set, but a one-piece outfit made of semi-transparent black butterflies.
If paired with those special stockings...
He is certainly a good young man with pure thoughts.
But as everyone knows, Li Mo is a genius, and his ability to make connections has always been excellent.
At the same time, the imagery is extremely vivid, and the effect of the upper body automatically appears in my mind.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do; it's only right and proper."
"..."
Li, a gentleman, believes that a person with an upright character has nothing to fear.
It's perfectly reasonable to buy clothes that reflect the local characteristics of Southern Border.
Yes, some of the standard styles have also been retained.
The proprietress gave it to me as a gift; she insisted on giving it to me.
At the inn.
After soaking in the medicinal soup for half an hour, the medicinal properties and steam released a delicate fragrance, which also flushed the girl's face.
"Aren't you coming back yet..."
Ying Bing knew that not much time had passed, yet every second felt like an eternity.
Just as she was about to get up, enveloped in the Rosy Phoenix Qi, she heard the sound of the window flapping; Li Mo had returned.
"Have you bought it?"
"I asked the proprietress to help me pick some out."
"Let me see."
"Promise."
Ying Bing had just brought in a bag, but before she could even open it...
"And, since I didn't know what kind you liked, I bought a few more."
Then.
A few minutes later, Ying Bing looked at the bags piled up on the floor next to the bathtub and blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes.
All right.
That's how he is. Last time he went to the clothing store, he bought even more. The fat boss, who weighed over 200 pounds, even learned to Iron Leg Water Strider.
Thinking this, Ying Bing glanced at the other side of the screen and saw the boy's shadow sitting upright at the table. She then stood up abruptly, opened the bag, and took a look.
The material looks familiar...
Ying Bing closed the bag and expressionlessly picked up another item...
The second thing...
The third item...
She gripped the bag tightly.
"Li Mo, these you bought..."
Li Mo sat upright, unafraid of being judged by his own posture. "It's a local style from Southern Border. The proprietress said to follow local customs, and I think that makes some sense."
"But... so many..."
"Her business might be slow lately, you know. I'm a kind-hearted person and can't stand seeing others looking unhappy. Since she insisted on giving it to me, I took it all."
Even when Li Mo was talking nonsense, his tone remained incredibly serious.
"..."
Among this pile of clothes, there are hardly any 'good' pieces.
It contains an extremely high amount of vulgarity.
Is this how upright gentlemen understand the principle of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do"?
"Wearing these is worse than not wearing them at all."
Ying Bing said in a low, melancholy voice.
"Sister, should I wear this?"
As if possessed, Gentleman Li spoke up.
The main reason was that I remembered that last time I used this trick, the Ice Block was willing to eat the food he fed it.
Through the screen.
The exquisite reflection visibly froze for a moment.
"..."
A moment later.
The Cold Fairy emerged from her bath. She stepped out from behind the screen, her dark hair still damp, with a few strands clinging to her fair neck. Her skin, already blurred by the moonlight, now shone with an even softer glow, and her eyes remained as aloof and cold as ever.
But she then put on that Haori Long Dress over it.
What are you thinking about?
"There is a martial art that can see through illusions. If one's gaze becomes sharp enough, is it possible to see through...?"
Li Mo was pondering the matter of the eagle eye.
If the <Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram> is upgraded, then this should also be one of the Divine Ability available, right?
Want to know?
She looked at the boy, whose face was filled with righteous indignation yet also a hint of guilt, and gently narrowed her beautiful eyes.
"!"
Gentleman Li's body trembled.
When he first bought the clothes, his toughest spot was his mouth; that probably won't be for long.
This unexpected question is just as damaging as a classic quote:
I bought a very sexy swimsuit.
The youngest member of the top ten on the Hidden Dragon Ranking —her title alone reveals her unapproachable and aloof nature, like the moonlight, appearing cold and sacred, yet untouchable.
She had just come out of the bath.
He was wearing clothes he had just picked out, and he approached with a serene gaze.
He whispered in the boy's ear:
I won't tell you.
"???"
Little Li never expected that the Ice Block seemed to have really gone bad!
The bad Ice Block was intentional!
Little Li had tried to adapt to local customs, reaped the consequences of his actions. He could only quickly bend over and take a bath. After testing the water temperature, he buried himself in the tub before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
"This water's getting a bit cold, aren't you going to change it..."
"I can just heat it up with my true energy; extravagance is shameful."
"..."
Ying Bing sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the rushing water inside, somewhat lost in thought.
In hindsight, what had she just done?
She glanced inside her collar, her slender fingers curling up, a rosy glow appearing, and she quietly changed what she was wearing.
"Just throw it away..."
Muttering to herself, she tossed the clothes she had changed out of into the basket.
Wrong.
When the two cultivate together, their spirits are connected, even if they don't say it...
Not long after.
As Li Mo stepped out from behind the screen, he dried himself off, only to find Ice Block already sitting there, communicating with the Jade Phoenix God.
"Ice Block has already started practicing kung fu?" He wanted to subtly inquire about it.
He has perfected all Seventy-Two Transformations, so there's no need for him to communicate with the Jade Phoenix God anymore. Tonight, he plans to deduce the <Wukong Seeking the Dao Diagram>.
Li Mo was just about to go out for some fresh air when he opened the door and heard her say:
"Li Mo."
"Um?"
"I have some clothes that aren't dry yet."
Their clothes never need to be aired out.
Xiao Li brand dryers are highly praised by everyone who has used them.
Li Mo nodded, picked up the clothes, and was about to let them air out and dry them when he realized that the clothes inside looked somewhat familiar.
It was that Pearl White Lotus Silk undergarment, the most expensive one he had ever bought.
Hmm? That's not right.
Wasn't it just bought?
He turned around blankly, but the door slammed shut.
Passed through?
Gentleman Li picked it up.
"..."
"Hiss..."
