Shopkeeper, Clothes for My Husb—Cough! My Attendant!

Got it.

Gu Rong finally understood.

This little girl was in a bad mood because of that brat Su Li.

For a moment,

he felt like the granddaughter he had raised for so many years had been lured away by some blond punk.

The bitterness in his heart...

Who could understand it?!

"Uh... that should be fine."

Hearing his reply,

Ning Rongrong visibly brightened. She skipped lightly to his side, her cute braided pigtails swaying back and forth.

"Grandpa Bone is the best!"

"Where are you taking me to play today?"

"I'm bored to death at home!"

Gu Rong looked at the lively, adorable little girl before him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. He reached out and tapped her on the head. "Let's go to Heaven Dou City."

"Th-That works too."

Ning Rongrong followed Gu Rong out of the room. Turning her head, she looked at the young man still practicing his swordsmanship in the distance, and her cheeks puffed up.

"Does this guy only know how to cultivate?!"

"How boring!"

"Before he awakened his martial soul, he used to be pretty fun."

With her little lips pursed, Ning Rongrong recalled the strange stories he had told a month ago.

Things like...

a monkey wreaking havoc in Heaven, one man bringing an end to the era of supernatural horrors, and how this slash would look really cool.

Those stories had utterly captivated her.

But this guy...

Every time he reached the most exciting part, he would say he had not figured out the rest yet and tell her to listen another day.

Just thinking about it made her angry!

"Grandpa Bone! Bring this guy along too!"

"How can I go out without an attendant?"

"He looks suitable enough."

Ning Rongrong crossed her arms over her chest, raised her fair neck, and gave a light huff.

How could Gu Rong fail to see what the little girl was thinking? Helpless, he flashed away from where he stood.

Two seconds later,

Su Li stared blankly at the girl before him. Seeing her haughty expression, he had no idea how he had offended her.

"Cough, cough... Xiao Li, being devoted to cultivation is a good thing."

"But you also need to balance work and rest."

"Come on, Grandpa Bone will take you two out for a stroll."

Su Li glanced at Ning Rongrong beside him. She must have asked for this, right?

What exactly is this girl trying to do?

Though he thought that,

he did not hesitate to agree.

"Yes."

Gu Rong nodded. Then, like he was carrying two chicks, he picked them both up and vanished from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the blink of an eye.

Heaven Dou City.

Su Li walked behind Ning Rongrong, observing the sights around him.

Ever since he had come to this world, he had never left the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Everything here still felt quite novel to him.

Ning Rongrong glanced at Su Li behind her, and an inexplicable spark of irritation rose within her.

This guy...

Why was he walking so slowly?

Was he really trying to act like her little follower?

Ning Rongrong secretly grumbled, then slowed her pace.

A few seconds later,

Su Li was not paying attention and accidentally brushed against her shoulder.

Seeing an opportunity, Ning Rongrong immediately made trouble.

"You can't even walk properly!"

"You're like some idiot!"

With that, the girl grabbed his arm and tugged him to her side.

She lifted her chin, her tone leaving no room for argument. "Stay by my side! I don't want you to get lost while we're walking."

"Hmph~"

The corner of Gu Rong's mouth twitched. Pretending he had heard nothing, he remained silent.

Su Li felt that this girl was always deliberately picking on him, but he had no proof.

He could not be bothered to take a little girl's words to heart, either.

"Oh."

Seeing that he was fairly obedient, Ning Rongrong stopped throwing her little tantrum.

But her eyes continued to examine him.

Her disdain was completely undisguised.

"What awful clothes. You're dressed like a beggar."

"I'm feeling generous, so I'll have a few outfits tailored for you."

"Remember, I just don't want others finding out that a disciple of my sect is dressed so shabbily."

Ning Rongrong gave a soft snort and quickened her pace considerably.

Her eyes swept across both sides of the street as though she were looking for something.

Soon,

her eyes lit up, and she entered a shop.

"Shopkeeper, make a few outfits for my husb—cough, cough, for my attendant."

The tips of Ning Rongrong's ears reddened. She stole a glance at the expressionless young man beside her.

When she saw that he had not reacted, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness...

She had corrected herself quickly.

Otherwise, what would he have thought of her?

"G-Gasp! Young... Young Sect Master."

The shopkeeper looked at the little girl before him and nearly dropped to his knees.

Ning Rongrong frowned. Why did all the merchants in Heaven Dou City seem to know who she was?

But judging by what he said, was this one of her family's businesses?

Forget it.

There were so many of them. Who could possibly remember them all?

"Oh... it's fine as long as you recognize me."

"Make him a few outfits. Anything decent will do."

Ning Rongrong said indifferently.

Then she found a chair and sat down, turning her head away so she would not look at Su Li.

She looked as though she were simply spacing out.

"Sure! Leave it to me!"

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, then straightened up and looked at the handsome young man before him. A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.

This young man was so good-looking that he would have believed it if someone said he was her child husband.

Tsk, tsk~

As expected of the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Even her attendant had such bearing.

"Young man, what do you think of this top-grade cloud-pattern brocade?"

Su Li glanced at it and replied calmly, "It's fine."

He had no particular requirements for clothes. As long as he could wear them, that was enough.

But since the young lady had already spoken, he could not spoil the mood.

"Good, then we'll use this."

The shopkeeper had just been about to call someone over to take his measurements when a bang startled him into turning around.

The girl who had been calm just moments ago now had a flushed pretty face, with one foot planted on the table as though she were about to fly into the sky.

"And you have the nerve to let him wear material like this!"

"Not even dogs would wear it!"

"Go! Bring me your best fabric!"

"If you dare try to fool me again, I'll smash your shop!"

The shopkeeper was instantly frightened to tears.

After dropping to his knees and slapping himself several times, he hastily said in a humble voice, "Y-Yes... this lowly one was blind. Young Sect Master, please don't be angry."

"I'll use the finest fabric in the shop right away."

Then,

the shopkeeper hurriedly ran toward the back.

Two helpless attendants were shoved out, their faces pale and their legs trembling as they walked.

They had heard everything.

This little girl was completely a spoiled little demoness!

If they did not serve her properly, they might end up being planted in the ground like ginseng the next second.

Su Li looked at Ning Rongrong, who seemed ready to soar into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

He was suddenly at a loss for words.

It was only a piece of clothing. Was there really any need for this?

Su Li looked at the price.

Gasp~

Making one set cost at least a hundred gold soul coins.

This was ridiculously expensive, wasn't it?

As expected of the wealthy Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. They really were lavish beyond reason.

After his measurements were taken,

Ning Rongrong seemed to become interested and personally picked out the styles for him.

She even instructed that every outfit must have the character "Rong" embroidered over the chest.

If it was even slightly crooked, she would smash the shop.

Not long after,

the shopkeeper watched the little demoness finally leave and could not help sighing with deep emotion. "My whole life has truly been like walking on thin ice."
