Senior Sister, Isn't This Outfit a Bit Too Weird?

Lu Chen nodded calmly.

"Well, I was abandoned outside Spirit City when I was very young. It was His Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo and His Excellency Ghost Douluo who brought me back, and I have lived in the orphanage ever since."

Hu Liena felt a sudden pang of heartache.

She had originally thought Lu Chen was cute, and because he had become her junior brother, she naturally felt a sense of closeness toward him.

But now, hearing that he was an abandoned orphan who grew up in an orphanage, her heart couldn't help but soften.

For a child so young to be taken in as a disciple by the teacher, the spirit awakening today must have been quite extraordinary.

Hu Liena thought of something and asked, "Then, does the commotion that appeared over Spirit City today have anything to do with you?"

Lu Chen glanced at her and nodded. "It should have been caused by me."

Hu Liena's eyes widened instantly.

She had also sensed the anomaly in Spirit City earlier.

That aura was terrifying yet sacred; even though she hadn't witnessed the entire process, she could feel that it was definitely not a commotion that could be caused by an ordinary spirit awakening.

She had been wondering who could have awakened such a formidable spirit.

As it turned out, this cute junior brother brought by Gui Mei was the one who had caused such a massive stir.

Hu Liena was both shocked and delighted.

"So it was you."

She looked at Lu Chen, her tone filled with admiration. "No wonder the teacher would take you as a disciple."

Lu Chen did not appear overly proud, simply saying, "Just good luck."

Hearing this, Hu Liena couldn't help but smile.

A spirit awakening that could cause an anomaly across the entire Spirit City could hardly be attributed to mere luck.

However, since Lu Chen was still young, she didn't say much more, simply taking his hand and continuing inside.

Upon entering the Saintess Hall, Lu Chen began to look around.

This place was completely different from the orphanage.

The decorations inside were exquisite yet not cluttered.

Many areas exuded the unique luxury and solemnity of Spirit Hall, possessing both the nobility befitting a Saintess and the simplicity suitable for a life of cultivation.

Lu Chen's gaze wasn't exaggerated; he simply observed quietly.

Hu Liena noticed his gaze and, seemingly in a good mood, took the initiative to explain things to him.

"This is the reception area, though I rarely use it. Over there is the resting area, and there is even a room specifically for organizing clothing."

"Further inside is the cultivation room; usually, without my permission, others are not allowed to enter."

"By the way, the teacher also returns to the Saintess Hall to rest sometimes. It seems she doesn't like living in the Pope Hall very much..."

Lu Chen listened attentively, nodding from time to time.

Seeing his well-behaved demeanor, Hu Liena liked him more and more.

She continued, "Since you are my junior brother, you might be the future Holy Lord of Spirit Hall, so perhaps you can live here too."

"The teacher having Ghost Douluo bring you to the Saintess Hall was likely intended for me to help you get settled and adapt."

As she spoke, she looked down at the ordinary clothes Lu Chen was wearing.

"Your current outfit is truly not very suitable for a disciple of the Pope."

Lu Chen also looked down at himself.

These clothes were standard issue from the orphanage; they were clean, but certainly plain.

Living in the orphanage, it hadn't been an issue, but now that he was a disciple of the Pope, it would be hard to avoid looking out of place if he continued to dress like this.

Hu Liena smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister will dress you up to look very handsome."

Looking at the smile on her face, Lu Chen suddenly had a rather ominous premonition.

However, he didn't voice it.

Hu Liena had already taken his hand and continued walking inside, introducing the layout of the Saintess Hall with great enthusiasm as they went.

Lu Chen followed by her side, listening quietly.

The sense of unfamiliarity between the two slowly faded amidst Hu Liena's explanations.

"Senior Sister, isn't it too strange to wear this?"

In a room within the Saintess Hall, Lu Chen stood before a mirror, his tone carrying obvious dissatisfaction.

At this moment, he had been completely restyled by Hu Liena.

The ordinary clothes from the orphanage had long been replaced by an exquisite dress that clearly did not belong to a boy.

The garment itself wasn't over-the-top and could even be considered quite beautiful, but the problem was that Lu Chen was a boy.

He looked down at himself, then at his reflection in the mirror, his face turning somewhat dark.

Ever since he awakened his martial soul, his features had become even more refined, his brows and eyes carrying a hint of sanctity and majesty.

Now, after being dressed up by Hu Liena, that touch of majesty was completely suppressed by his youth, making him look more like a pretty and adorable little girl instead.

Hu Liena stood to the side, watching the pouting Lu Chen before her, her eyes practically sparkling.

Too cute.

Really too cute.

She had originally only intended to tease this newly arrived junior brother; after all, the Saintess Hall truly had no boys' clothing prepared.

But once she had actually changed Lu Chen into them, she realized her decision had been absolutely correct.

Lu Chen's little face was already handsome, and now, slightly puffed up with dissatisfaction, it made one unable to resist wanting to look at him a few more times.

Hu Liena suppressed her laughter and deliberately feigned a serious tone, saying, "Oh my, Junior Brother, just wear it for a little longer."

Lu Chen turned his head to look at her.

Hu Liena continued with a beaming smile, "I've already sent someone to fetch you some normal clothes."

"You can change as soon as they arrive. Just let me admire you for a while longer now, be a good boy, Junior Brother."

Watching her clearly delighted expression, Lu Chen became even more certain in his heart.

He had been tricked.

He should have realized it sooner.

This was the Saintess Hall.

How could there possibly be men's clothing in the Saintess Hall?

This wretched senior sister actually deceived a six-year-old veteran like me; she really has no sense of sportsmanship.

Hu Liena never intended to find him normal clothes right away; she simply wanted to see him in women's clothing.

Lu Chen felt somewhat helpless.

He, a dignified possessor of the Leugocyte martial soul with innate full soul power of level twenty, a person destined to stir up the winds and clouds of the Douluo Continent in the future, had been pinned down and dressed as a little girl by his senior sister on the very first day of his awakening.

If this were to get out, what face would he have left?

Yet, Hu Liena showed no signs of repentance whatsoever.

She even circled around Lu Chen, becoming more satisfied the more she looked.

"Junior Brother, you really look very beautiful like this."

Lu Chen said expressionlessly, "I thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister."

Hearing the resentment in his tone, Hu Liena couldn't help but laugh even more happily.

Fortunately, this awkwardness did not last too long.

Before long, the servants in the Saintess Hall finally delivered clothes suitable for Lu Chen to wear.

It was a set of exquisite, well-fitting men's clothing, the material clearly far superior to the clothes from the orphanage, and the style better suited to the status of a disciple of the Spirit Hall's Pope.

The moment he saw the clothes, Lu Chen immediately demanded to change into them.

Although Hu Liena was still somewhat unsatisfied, she knew better than to truly push her little junior brother too far, so she had someone take Lu Chen to change his clothes.

A moment later, Lu Chen walked back out, having changed his attire.

This time, he had finally regained the appearance a boy should have.
