Hu Xiaotian laughed inwardly. What secret could there possibly be? The little minx was clearly trying to pique his curiosity and lure him down with her. He shook his head. "The water's too cold, and I don't have any flashy gear like yours. I can't very well go down there with you naked."
Qiqi smiled. "I knew you'd say that." She opened the bundle she had brought along, took out an identical black Water Suit, and tossed it to Hu Xiaotian.
Only then did Hu Xiaotian realize that Qiqi had come prepared. He unfolded the Water Suit and found that it was made of sharkskin, with a lining of firebird down. Such top-grade equipment must have cost a fortune. A princess of the realm certainly knew how to be generous.
Qiqi said, "This Water Suit is a masterpiece by Master Lu of the Heavenly Crafts Workshop. It wasn't easy to get. Consider it a lavish gift from me."
"How embarrassing, accepting another gift from you," Hu Xiaotian said, though inwardly he was so delighted that he almost laughed aloud.
Qiqi's slender brows shot up. "Enough nonsense. Hurry up and change. If you delay my important business, I'll have your head."
Nodding and bowing, Hu Xiaotian took the clothes somewhere secluded to change. Only after putting them on did he discover a problem. The Water Suit fit perfectly, but precisely because it fit so well, a bulging lump stood out between his legs. If he walked out like this, even a blind man would know what it was. He considered using Yin-Lifting Yang-Shrinking, but the experience on New Year's Eve still left him shaken. It had taken an entire night and a thousand calls before the thing finally emerged. Without Baobao's help, it might still have been curled up inside, hibernating.
