Chapter 47: 45 Clothes

"Follow me, don't wander around. Your physique is different from the Yixialian."

Qiyana recovered quickly, thanks to the magic power surging in the air of Yishuaoken. This magic power could strengthen a spellcaster's physique and rapidly replenish lost stamina and magic power.

Of course, it didn't matter even without the magic power of Yishuaoken, because the Vydalian Robe Qiyana was wearing was already solidified magic power.

Hearing Qiyana's words, Yuan Chen nodded in understanding, without any objection.

In the tropical rainforest climate, the Yixialian's skin tone was generally brownish, and their lower limbs—

especially the women's lower limbs—were fuller than those in the outside world. But surprisingly, everyone except Qiyana was quite tall.

This did not conform to the physique expected of people in tropical rainforests. According to Yuan Chen's guess, it should be the abundant magical resources of Yishuaoken that nourished the people here.

Otherwise, they should have been shorter.

For example, the Pygmies in his previous life had an average height of 1.2 meters and an average weight of less than fifty kilograms. They had small hands and feet, big bellies, reached sexual maturity at eight years old and could marry and have children, with a general lifespan of only thirty to forty years.

Now, at a glance, many Yixialian women were over 1.7 meters tall.

Well, except for Qiyana.

Qiyana... was only about 1.56 meters?

Standing behind Qiyana, his gaze flickered uncertainly as he confirmed Qiyana's height, and Yuan Chen felt a moment of emotion... perhaps Qiyana's strong personality was also related to her height?

A psychological compensation mechanism or something?

"I feel like you're thinking about something very rude." Qiyana looked at Yuan Chen with some disdain.

Although Yuan Chen hadn't said a word, Qiyana's intuition told her that Yuan Chen's gaze was impolite.

"That must be an illusion." Yuan Chen said, his face not blushing and his heart not skipping a beat: "Those who know me know that I am reliable and low-key."

"Reliable is fine, but I haven't felt you being low-key at all." Qiyana pouted.

In silence, Qiyana said, "From now on, you are an Element Scholar... I see you have some good insights into Water Elements. Yishuaoken respects knowledge, and with this identity, no one will make things difficult for you."

"Of course, even so, you have to follow me. After all, you don't want to be frequently taken away and questioned by those Road Protectors because you're an outsider, right?"

Qiyana gestured with her chin towards the Road Protectors walking on the street.

Because of his physique, skin tone, and demeanor, Yuan Chen looked like a wild giant panda walking in Yishuaoken, drawing stares from the residents of Yishuaoken City from all directions.

The Road Protectors were even more so, holding their Ring Blades and their eyes filled with vigilance.

But fortunately, Qiyana was by Yuan Chen's side. The Yuentar Robe of ash and emerald green on her body and the Jade Crown on her head all proved the nobility of the person in front of them—a Yuenale.

Although Yixialian prohibits interaction with the outside world, even outsiders who accidentally enter Yixialian are exiled to the Miasma Jungle

Only a very small number are recognized and become honorary Yixialians, residing in some remote prefectures.

However, the restrictive effect of such laws on the Royal Family and the Yuentar class is extremely poor—you cannot expect a feudal autocratic country to have advanced and fair laws.

Fairness is like a lie, deceiving everyone and bestowing impossible hopes.

Indifferently, Yuan Chen silently followed behind Qiyana. Qiyana, as if sensing something, glanced at Yuan Chen twice before unhurriedly walking towards her palace.

Upon entering the Imperial Palace, Yuan Chen was stopped, but Qiyana blocked the guards without yielding.

Faced with the Tenth Yuenale's strong personality, the Imperial Palace guards felt helpless but ultimately only warned him not to wander around, or he would be immediately arrested, and then let Yuan Chen pass.

Although it was Yuan Chen's first time in Yishuaoken, and even the Imperial Palace of Yishuaoken, Qiyana did not take him around aimlessly because she was not favored. Bringing an outsider now would only attract more criticism.

Therefore, Qiyana took Yuan Chen to her room.

As the youngest daughter of the family, Qiyana's room should have been the smallest. But even so, compared to the residences of Yishuaoken commoners or even some minor nobles, it appeared incredibly luxurious.

Yishuaoken has four floors—or five, if you insist, but the fifth floor is just those five stone pillars.

As the foundation of Yixialian, which maintains the Veil Sorcery, even Yuentar scholars and traditional Yixialian nobles are not qualified to enter freely.

From top to bottom, the fourth floor is inhabited by royalty, the third floor by Great Nobles and Yuentar elders, the second floor by minor nobles, wealthy individuals, and Element Apprentices, and the first floor and the woodlands near Yixialian are inhabited by commoners.

From the window, the scenery on the Yixialian side was unobstructed. The land was vast, and the roads of Yishuaoken seemed to stretch to the very edge of the sun's reach.

While she was looking, Qiyana suddenly threw a set of clothes at Yuan Chen.

Catching it, Yuan Chen instinctively unfolded it. It was a set of emerald green... women's clothing with a distinct Yixialian style?

And the size was a bit small.

But soon, Yuan Chen relaxed—this was not ordinary fabric, but a creation of Vydalian, just like the one Qiyana was wearing.

The external form is not important for the Vydalian Robe; it can transform into different appearances according to the user's will. However...

"Is this appropriate?" Yuan Chen said hesitantly, "The Vydalian Robe is a symbol of the Yuentar. Without merit or academic achievement, if you are discovered, you..."

"No need to worry," Qiyana pouted and said.

"This is my physical magic power; you can't activate it at all. A dull Vydalian Robe is no different from ordinary woven cloth. Besides, you are right beside me. Even if we are discovered, what of it? I am a Yuenale!"

Hearing this, Yuan Chen shrugged and then focused his mind on the dress in front of him. At first, there was some resistance, as if it was rejecting Yuan Chen's entry.

But with Qiyana's hand on the robe, Yuan Chen soon connected with the robe smoothly. A moment later, the original dress transformed into male attire with a strong Yixialian style.

Entering the changing room nearby, when Yuan Chen emerged again, he was a different person.

A dark green ribbon cloak with a silken texture was draped over his shoulders, but out of habit, Yuan Chen had formed feather patterns on the ribbons.

The upper body was bare, his muscular chest and back directly exposed to the air. His well-proportioned muscles flowed together, full but not bulky, instead forming a harmonious beauty under a streamlined silhouette.

However, from the upper abdomen, just above the navel, Vidalion fabric formed a close-fitting, battle skirt-like silk hem. Coupled with his symmetrical, slender, and muscular legs wrapped in dark green silk material resembling pants stockings, it created the appearance of battle attire.

Yuan Chen's physique was undoubtedly excellent; even the Ixialia-style attire could be forcefully supported by his near-perfect dancer physique.

As soon as Qiyana saw him, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, stroking her chin and marveling, "I really couldn't tell... your physique is actually this good."

"Delicate and smooth skin, truly a good seedling. If I sent you over now, quite a few nobles would be willing to get close to you."

Yuan Chen didn't pay attention to Qiyana's teasing, merely adjusting the cuffs of the Vydalian robe.

Because the fabric weave of this Vydalian robe originated from Qiyana's own magic power, even though Yuan Chen wore it, he couldn't fully unleash its power.

But even so, as an Epic-grade equipment, its inherent traits far surpassed the previous Fine Leather Armor.

Even without binding, Yuan Chen could feel that his energy, stamina, and magic power recovery speed were at least more than double what they were before. If Qiyana wore it, based on Yuan Chen's estimation, the recovery speed would be at least more than five times faster.

No... Qiyana's trait: Elemental Dominion, made her perception and control over elements beyond common sense. Such solidified magic power, once converted into elemental magic power, would allow Qiyana's recovery speed to be at least more than ten times her normal state.

Tsk, Although she was a glass cannon assassin in the game, in reality, she was an Element Warrior who practiced both physical and magical dual cultivation?

But that made sense... the Oretal Ring Blade in her hand, even if it was an advanced form of the Wind Axiom, the Floating Axiom, had its weight reduced, and throwing it could still easily smash and cleave people to death.

In other words, in ARAM, Black Cleaver and Death's Dance were Qiyana's correct build in Runeterra?

Thinking this, Yuan Chen couldn't help but chuckle—Professional Players understand nothing about League of Legends, Designers should come out and get beaten!

"What are you laughing at?"

Qiyana beside him felt a bit confused.

"Could it be that you're looking forward to it?"

"Looking forward to what?"

"Having nobles get close to you... Don't say I didn't warn you, male nobles in Ixialia are even more perverted than females."

"You're overthinking it."

Hearing Qiyana's words, Yuan Chen shook his head speechlessly and said, "I was just thinking, it's terrifying that such Epic-grade equipment is one per person in Ixialia..."

"Only Yuentar and the Great Nobles have that, not everyone can endure the pain of Vidalion Extracting Magic Power."

As she spoke, Qiyana rolled her eyes, then looked at Yuan Chen with a smile and said:

"Of course, if you can make enough contributions, for example, by assisting a great queen... then that queen might not be able to bestow this honor upon you, an Outsider."

"...I'm so moved I want to kowtow to you."

"I will Gladly Accept~"

Seeing that many Readers dislike Qiyana, for example, they are not used to her Art Style and Painting Style.

To be honest, I also have a Headache, because there are generally Relatively Little attractive pictures of Qiyana with good Fabric in my Image Library, and posting them easily gets Swallowed.

I will try my best to find some. I will upload the Costume Style original paintings from the Ixialia region to the Comment Section later.
