Are You Sure You Don't Want to Think It Over?! / Keep a Low Profile!
Like snowflakes in a sea of flowers, she stood gracefully in the summer morning breeze, her petite and adorable figure perfectly proportioned, her bright, cascading silver hair fluttering gently in the wind.
Her eyes were elegant and serene, bright and deep, filled with water. Her skin was snow-white and translucent, and her long, smooth, fair legs were exquisite and delicate. The noble purity of her white stockings made her irresistible and captivating, as if she embodied all the gentleness and the height of summer.
Some people, stunned and still holding stacks of merchandise, tripped and fell flat on their faces just to see a pretty girl?
So, the question is: did this move result in a profit or a huge loss?
Ling Mengxue looked around, appearing somewhat naive, a hint of worry creeping across her Qianqian face, which added a touch of pitiful charm to her already stunning beauty.
In her opinion, even though she is now a girl, she can't lose her elegance!
If you don't want something too flashy, then choose a more literary, elegant, and quiet style; that should be less attention-grabbing.
With the skill of 'Perfect Acting,' she can play any role with ease.
Naïve and innocent?
Damn it, what do you take me for... ugh! What do you take me for?!
Following the signs, Ling Mengxue quickly arrived at the first floor of the department store.
What's strange is that she clearly remembers that the selected item has already been taken, so why is the guidance still hovering on the first floor?
Following the signs, Ling Mengxue bypassed the front desk, bought an ice cream from the ice cream section, and then followed the directions to the snack section, only to find that the person had disappeared again?
"Who is this person? Is he just here to buy things? Why isn't he going out to pay and is he just wandering around on the first floor?"
Staring at the snack shelf in front of her, Ling Mengxue put her hands on her hips and looked like she wanted to stock up on some "late-night snacks" herself.
After walking past rows of shelves and wandering around, she finally locked onto her "target" in the clothing section!
Judging from her appearance, she was a teenage girl around the same age as her.
The girl had long, flowing black hair, wore a bright green fairy dress, and had her hair tied in a ponytail. She had large, clear eyes like dewdrops, a delicate and perfect profile, and small, round breasts like little oranges. She was holding a jar of Rainbow Candy and staring intently at a little dress on the clothes rack. It was easy to see that she really liked it.
In terms of looks alone, she's on par with the Magical Girls 'Illusory Spirit'!
Tang Ling: How rude of you! Can you stop comparing me to you? Can't you just find someone else?
Ling Mengxue didn't step forward immediately; she was already filling in the blanks in her mind.
At first glance, she seemed like a quiet, literary girl, but Ling Mengxue quickly changed her mind.
A female shop assistant stood beside her, looking visibly embarrassed but hesitant to speak. Her meaning was clear. "Young lady, if you can buy it, buy it; if not, you can buy it next time. But you're practically drooling! We workers have it tough, don't we?"
The girl noticed the shop assistant's strange look. She glanced at the price tag of several hundred yuan on the clothes; the string of numbers made her vision blur. She couldn't help but pout. She didn't have money now, but wouldn't she have money later?
Let me tell you, thirty years in Hebei, thirty years in Henan, don't underestimate a young girl's poverty!
And do you really think she doesn't have those few hundred yuan?
It's no big deal! I have plenty of money on hand!
But forget it, otherwise I'll be starving this month...
"But it's so beautiful, I really want it..."
Female shop assistant. "..."
Even Ling Mengxue sighed and rubbed her forehead at this scene, "Miss, if you really like it and want it, we can just save up the money, it's not shameful. Even if you want it that much, the shop assistant can't possibly give it to you for free, right?"
"Excuse me, may I bother you?"
Ling Mengxue couldn't stand it any longer. Suddenly, she popped her head out from the other shelf, pretending to browse the merchandise, "Miss, can I buy that 'Rainbow Candy' you're holding? In exchange, I can give you the dress you've been eyeing."
"Wow! Really?? Is there really such a good thing in the world??" Ma Xiaotong turned around abruptly upon hearing this, not caring whether it was true or not, just feeling excited. "If you keep your word, little sister, I'm yours! Please take care of me!"
Is this something you should say to someone you're meeting for the first time?!
Ling Mengxue was somewhat speechless, but still managed a slight smile. "Of course, I mean what I say, but that box of... uh... candy, has to be in exchange!"
"No problem, no problem! It's just a box of rainbow candy!"
Ma Xiaotong patted her chest, looking smug. "But I have a small request~ Little sister has to help me buy a complete set of underwear, socks, little shoes, and a little jacket!"
Ling Mengxue: "..."
Good heavens!
This is price gouging!
[img=700,971]htt [img=700,978]htt Chapter Seventeen: Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?!
Seemingly sensing Ling Mengxue's thoughts, Ma Xiaotong's lips naturally curved into a smile, and she said lightly, "Hey~ little sister, this jar of candy must be very important to you, right? Aren't you Magical Girls?"
"??"
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! This woman is so cunning!
How can you associate this with Magical Girls?
Even the female shop assistant next to them looked slightly surprised when she heard the word "magic".
In today's world, Magical Girls are incredibly popular; they're the center of attention wherever they go. The very concept of magical girls represents the faith and aspirations of the vast majority of people.
Even a random website will show you countless posts from girls lamenting their failure to be chosen as "magicians," prompting envious and envious comments from men wondering why there aren't any magical boys among them.
Isn't this blatant sexism?!
Ling Mengxue didn't answer immediately, silently rolled her eyes, and simply turned around, saying, "Since you don't want it, I'll leave right now."
To be honest, she was mainly there out of curiosity and for entertainment. She wasn't short of money, but she wouldn't tolerate this kind of person.
If this were before, she would have turned around and left immediately, believe it or not?
"No, no, no! Just kidding, little sister! It's just one! One little dress!"
Startled, Ma Xiaotong rushed forward and grabbed Ling Mengxue's leg, afraid that the elegant and charming little sister he had almost gotten his hands on would run away!
Ling Mengxue shuddered, almost letting out a moan!
Sometimes being too sensitive isn't a good thing. It's already so arousing when you touch yourself, what if something serious happens later?
Okay, I've already tried it.
"Can it be done immediately?"
Ma Xiaotong: "Okay, okay! Here's the candy your little sister wanted!"
"Thanks..."
"Are you sure you don't want to change it? Although I'm beautiful, cute, and charming, will I summon death??" (//?//)
"Get lost."
"Huh?? That looks a bit fierce..."
"..."
Five minutes later, hearing the door to the changing room open, Ling Mengxue turned around and glanced at it. She had already paid, and now she just needed to tell the girl. She was planning to go and collect her "equipment" first.
Ma Xiaotong was standing in front of a full-length mirror a few meters away, looking at herself. She was wearing a brand-new Lolita dress and had a cute hairstyle. She looked as pretty as a doll. In terms of looks, she was already... well... in short, very pretty!
If it were a normal accident, Ling Mengxue didn't seem to feel anything...?
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now..."
"Hey wait a minute, look at me, little sister! Aren't I pretty? Aren't I cute?!"
"..."
Ling Mengxue selectively ignored these words, looked at the Rainbow Candy in her hand, and felt that it wasn't anything special.
He closed his eyes slightly and habitually used the 'Eye of True Sight'.
[Near-Expiry Rainbow Candy]
[Quality: Special, Not Expired]
[Taste: Sweet and sour with a chewy texture]
[Introduction: This is a homemade version of Rainbow Candy produced by A Muqiqi, blessed with magic. It's been stored for a while, so the Rainbow Candy may be slightly different; it's not as delicious as when it was first made.]
Red strawberry, sweet orange, green apple, yellow lemon, green pepper, purple grape, dark chocolate... a variety of flavors to choose from!
Blessing Bonus: "Beauty is Justice," each Rainbow Candy grants up to 1 point of charm, stacking up to five times. Each stack is calculated independently and lasts for ten minutes.
"What a wonderful, Near-Expiry Rainbow Candy..."
And this unique way of introducing it... could it be that the Original Demon Destiny Sign gone mad with its own magic?
How come you're even more obsessed than me?
Ling Mengxue's expression was strange. Was this thing really that useless?
Is it really just "opening blind boxes"?
With good luck, she might obtain a one-time useful item for combat or daily life, but judging from her recent luck, it seems she's been lacking a bit in bird food?
Ling Mengxue casually reached into her pocket, tossed the item into her Destiny Space, and didn't think much of it; she could simply give it away.
It wouldn't help her improve, and she didn't want to. It was fine for her to eat it herself, but giving away near-expiry food was clearly inappropriate, not to mention Xi Yan and Xiao Xiao...
"You've been shopping for so long, just for a jar of Rainbow Candy?" Ling Mengxue couldn't help but ask.
"Yes... no." Ma Xiaotong shook her head and followed her out, smiling broadly. "Isn't it because the supermarkets and shopping malls nearby are having big sales? I thought I'd come and take advantage of a bargain... hehe, by the way, you still haven't told me if this dress is pretty or not!"
So all those people outside were there for a big sales promotion?
I didn't pay attention just now...
"If I think it looks good, why should I care about other people's opinions? It's pretty good," Ling Mengxue said mechanically.
"Yo-ho! I knew it! My taste is definitely not bad! I'll ask Grandma to take a look when we get back. I'm sure Brother Yi Yun will like it too!" Ma Xiaotong clenched her little fist, her face full of excitement, her little braids swaying with her body, exuding youthful vitality.
However, her eyes dimmed immediately, as if she had lost her soul, and she muttered dejectedly, "But I don't have any money... If Grandma finds out I've overspent my allowance to buy a dress again, she'll definitely scold me to death! It's hard to explain to my family, so I can only wear it outside—they'll just say... 'What's wrong with you, girl?' 'Didn't you get embarrassed enough by fainting from hunger at school last time?' 'What! Pretty?? Can looking good put food on the table?!'..."
As they walked out of the department store, Ling Mengxue listened to her complaints all the way, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy and empathy.
It seems like I used to be like that too, right?
For a favorite character, item, or skin in the game, she even secretly ate Ling Xiaoyu noodles at the school cafeteria every day for lunch and took odd jobs outside, even though she would lose several months' allowance if she was found out. She was still so determined until she came into contact with SK Esports and became a true free-to-play player.
Is it a problem to like something? Absolutely not!
But we still need to stay rational... It's best to do what we can without affecting our lives.
That said, the little girl's ability to change expressions is truly remarkable; she played the roles of several people all by herself, making her a real "little drama queen."
However, Ling Mengxue also found something to focus on: this girl seemed to know Yi Yun.
The way she calls me so affectionately, could it be that she's the type to admire me?
She didn't know, nor did she have the time to find out, other people's dating history.
When she came to her senses, Ma Xiaotong snapped out of her daze. Her cheeks flushed slightly, like the blush of a drop of red ink falling into clear water, spreading across her face. She smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, sorry, I suddenly said so many strange things~ Oh, right, little sister! I haven't asked you your name yet??"
"Mengxue."
"Mengxue?? Nice to meet you. My name is Ma Xiaotong ~ But little sister, are you sure you don't want to consider taking me as your sugar daddy? I'm quite good in that area!"
"..."

Chapter Eighteen: Keep a Low Profile!
Ling Mengxue looked at her, somewhat speechless.
The girl would be a social butterfly at her school, with undeniable popularity, but here, she could only play the role of a chatterbox.
