Ming Luo learned that the shadow space that made her eat a mouthful of mud was summoned by herself. She felt mixed emotions of joy and sorrow. She was happy that she finally had her own shadow space, but she was worried that she had no other clothes to change into.

Fat Tao didn't know where he learned how to coax girls. When he saw Ming Luo feeling sorry for Mei Huayi, he frantically urged Ye Zhihan to take Ming Luo to buy new clothes.

"If you are a good brother, then believe me. My father said that to coax a girl, you must cater to her preferences, so now is a good time to give Mingluo some clothes!" Fat Tao rubbed his little face and muttered to himself while floating aside.

Mingluo walked ahead with a depressed look on her face, worrying about how to wash the clothes. After hearing Pangtao's idea, she flatly refused: "No need! We need to hide our whereabouts now. We will definitely be discovered if we go shopping for clothes."

Ye Zhihan thought for a while, and as if he had thought of something, he left first, saying that he had something to do.

"I guess he must have gone to buy you new clothes?" Fat Peach was still making a fuss, and in her round little belly one could still see the pear blossom pastry that she hadn't had time to digest.

"You asked Ye Zhihan to buy clothes. You don't want him to buy you delicious food, do you?" Ming Luo looked at Pang Tao sharply, his eyes full of astute scrutiny.

"Hehehe, no... no, I think he is quite young and naive, so I'm teaching him how to please girls!" Fat Peach smiled embarrassedly.

"Tsk, you're the only one trying to coax a girl." Ming Luo gave Pang Tao a light slap.

…

Ye Zhihan didn't come back until the evening. He stood in front of Ming Luo a little awkwardly, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to start.

"What's the matter?" Ming Luo looked at him curiously.

Ye Zhihan touched his earlobe uncomfortably, placed a light purple object in front of Ming Luo, said "Don't despise it", and turned into a shadow and rushed out of the window.

Mingluo was amused: Why go through the window when there was a legitimate door? It was as if she was having a tryst with her lover.

In fact, when Mingluo saw Ye Zhihan's reaction, she guessed it almost right. He must have given her a piece of clothing.

A warm feeling surged in Ming Luo's heart. He was happy but also sighed silently. Ye Zhihan had just become a cross-border traveler, and it was the critical moment for him to disappear and hide his whereabouts. What if he was discovered when he went out to buy clothes?

However, when Mingluo picked up the purple dress, she realized that her worries were unnecessary.

This dress was the lavender dress she wore when she first arrived at the Suma Continent, but the dress was no longer the same as it originally was. A few pieces of purple gauze were patched under the hem, turning the knee-length dress into a long dress. It also had long purple gauze sleeves, and the parts that were torn by the face-controlling spider were patched with wisteria-shaped patches.

Not to mention, Ye Zhihan's aesthetic taste is pretty good. After the modern dress was changed into ancient costume, although the style was a bit simple, it was done by herself and showed great thoughtfulness. More importantly, the dress was really beautiful, and Mingluo liked it very much.

This should be the first gift Ye Zhihan gave her.

During the Crossing the Border Trials, although she had received a pearl necklace from Ye Zhihan, she ultimately returned it to Jiao Bai. This skirt, however, was a gift Ye Zhihan had personally modified, and she would definitely treasure it immensely. A sweet feeling welled up in Ming Luo's heart, and she gradually fell asleep hugging the skirt Ye Zhihan had washed and modified himself.

Early the next morning, Mingluo washed, dressed, and sat in the yard. She was wearing the purple dress that Ye Zhihan had modified himself. She practiced in the morning air while waiting for Ye Zhihan to go out. Maybe she could even catch a glimpse of Ye Zhihan with sleepy eyes. Thinking of this, Mingluo couldn't help but smile.

But she waited and waited but Ye Zhihan didn't get up. Instead, she noticed something unusual. She had already cultivated to the first stage of Mingpo and mastered the summoning method of shadow space, which was already a rapid progress. But today, no matter how hard she tried to absorb spiritual energy and control magic power, she felt that there was little effect.

"I'm back." Ye Zhihan suddenly changed from a black shadow to a human form, which scared Ming Luo.

"Huh... So you went to make breakfast. No wonder I couldn't find you." Ming Luo patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you want from me?" Ye Zhihan asked. He found that Ming Luo did not dislike the dress he repaired. He was in a very happy mood, and even the tone of his voice became much softer.

"I seem to have hit a bottleneck in my cultivation. No matter how hard I try, I can't absorb any more spiritual energy." Ming Luo said aggrievedly.

"Bottleneck?" Ye Zhihan was stunned. Bottlenecks usually appear at the end of each cultivation stage. Mingluo had just entered the cultivation realm, so the bottleneck was coming too soon. He detected the fluctuations in Mingluo's spiritual energy and found that she had not made any progress compared to yesterday. Judging from her cultivation speed over the past few days, she should have at least gained a significant amount of spiritual energy after a night's sleep.

Ming Luo's mind was working frantically. She tried to find the biggest difference between herself yesterday and today. Perhaps this difference was the reason why she could not continue to practice.

Fortunately, their life in the mountains was extremely dull and tedious, so Mingluo didn't have to think too much before realizing that it was a problem with the clothes.

"Is it true that clothes in the human world can block spiritual energy?" Ming Luo frowned slightly and looked at Ye Zhihan in confusion.

"No." Ye Zhihan rejected it outright, "Unless it's a special magical item, it won't affect spiritual power."

Ming Luo suddenly realized, "It's not that my spiritual power absorption is blocked, but Elder Suma's plum blossom skirt is a magic weapon, and it is the magic weapon that is helping me practice!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them immediately went to the clothesline to observe the clothes that had just been hung up last night. The plum blossoms on the plum blossom clothes came from Ma Dongmei, who had a deep reserve of spiritual power, and were personally refined by Elder Suma. This was indeed a rare and top-grade magic weapon in the Suma Continent.

But Mingluo looked left and right and still couldn't see anything unusual. Instead, the more he looked at the plum blossom pattern on the skirt, the more realistic it seemed, as if there were real plum blossoms in full bloom in front of him, with a fragrant aroma.

Mingluo was a little distracted. She seemed to have returned to the fairyland-like floating island with snowy scenery. Snowflakes were flying outside and it was warm as spring inside. If she were old, she would also like to spend her retirement in such a beautiful fairyland. She wondered if the tall and handsome Ye Zhihan and the greedy little fat Tao would still be by her side at that time.

"Mingluo?" Ye Zhihan's clear voice rang out. He gently stroked a slightly yellowed spot on the hem of her skirt and said, "The temperature in this area isn't right."

Mingluo touched it and realized something was wrong. The other parts of the clothes were still damp, but this part was completely dry.

Judging from Elder Suma's abilities, he would not have accidentally painted part of the lining of the pink dress a light goose yellow.

"What's going on?" Ming Luo looked at the small, inconspicuous piece of yellow and thought that she should have washed the clothes clean, and she didn't stain the dress with yellow stuff.

"I guess Elder Suma must have left a gift for you." As he said that, Ye Zhihan blasted his true energy into the pale yellow ball.
