Clearly Very Strong Yet Excessively Timid

The timid Ming Luo unexpectedly arrives at the Suoma Continent, where demons and monsters run rampant. As the only human, she embarks on an unconventional path of cultivation to preserve her life.<...

Chapter 8 Black Suit

After the mouth of the Controlling Face Spider was blocked, it looked at Ming Luo with grievance, as if asking the girl for help. Ming Luo had always been hostile to the Controlling Face Spider, and she was so happy that the Controlling Face Spider had its mouth blocked that there was no reason for her to help it.

However, what Yumianzhu said was indeed right. Mingluo was indeed an inexperienced girl, and the following scene successfully surprised her inexperienced girl.

Now they stood at the edge of the Ghostly Desert, but the desert before them didn't resemble a ghost at all. Instead, it was majestic and beautiful, with golden sand swirling as far as the eye could see. Mingluo was moved by the scene, feeling a surge of heroic spirit. He even wanted to recite aloud the poem "A lone smoke rises straight over the vast desert, the setting sun is round over the long river." Ugh, how embarrassing.

Ye Zhihan noticed Mingluo's mood and looked down at her. This look made Ye Zhihan's head hurt. Mingluo was a smart and cute girl after all, so how could she look like a beggar?

Mingluo's hair was messy because she had just passed the teleportation point. Her lavender dress had some black, gray and dark red spots on it. There was even a dried white mark on her chest!

Ming Luo followed Ye Zhihan's gaze and looked down at himself, and quickly explained: "This is Fatty Tao's snot and tears. I really don't have any clean clothes..."

What can she do? She is also desperate.

Mingluo was wearing such a cool dress, and she was afraid she would be dried out after entering the desert. Ye Zhihan sighed softly, as if he had made a difficult decision. He bent down and took out a set of black tights from the shadows and handed it to Mingluo, saying, "It's clean, put it on."

Worried that the girl might dislike the man's clothes, Ye Zhihan added, "They're new. I washed them right after I bought them, and I've never worn them once."

Ming Luo took the clothes happily, but didn't know where to start. She grew up in modern society and had no chance to come into contact with ancient costumes. Now, a set of exquisite men's suit was suddenly placed in front of her, and she really didn't know how to wear it.

Seeing her holding the clothes unmoved, Ye Zhihan suddenly remembered something, blushed, and said in a panic: "I will turn around and definitely not look at you, just change your clothes."

After saying that, a shadow wall appeared out of nowhere, directly separating Ye Zhihan and Ming Luo.

Mingluo didn't hesitate. It was just a piece of clothing with a complicated style. There would be no problem if he put it on. So Mingluo changed into this clean men's suit.

This was Mingluo's first time wearing men's clothes, and the clothes had a pleasant and elegant fragrance. She felt very shy. After changing her clothes, she quietly reminded the man on the other side of the shadow wall: "Ye Zhihan, I'm done with my clothes..."

Ming Luo blushed and looked at Ye Zhihan nervously. They should have a friendship like wearing the same pants now, right?

Well, seeing Ming Luo's appearance after changing clothes, Ye Zhihan's head hurt even more. This girl was even thinner than he had imagined. His loose clothes made her look like a child stealing her father's clothes. The sleeves, hem and pants were all ridiculously long.

This was the first time Ye Zhihan lent clothes to a girl, but the clothes didn't fit her well. The loose clothes hung loosely on her body, revealing her beautiful collarbone. Coupled with the background of flying golden sand and the blush on the girl's face, Ye Zhihan actually felt that the slender girl in front of him had a charming look.

"I think your top is long enough for me to use as a skirt. Why don't you just not wear pants?" Ming Luo asked Ye Zhihan casually. It was not that she had no awareness of the difference between men and women, but the pants were too long. Even if she rolled them up, it was inconvenient to move.

Ye Zhihan's eyes twitched. How should he respond? He felt as if the girl in front of him didn't consider him a man. How could a girl casually say something like "no pants" to a man? If it were any other man in Suma Continent, he would have misunderstood her words long ago.

"No." Ye Zhihan rejected Ming Luo's proposal directly like a father protecting his child.

Then he rummaged around in the shadows and pulled out a few red ribbons, then silently squatted down and tied up Ming Luo's trouser legs. With this tie, although the trousers were still loose, they wouldn't get stuck under his feet.

Ming Luo looked down at him and saw that he looked like he was worried about his old father. She was immediately flattered. Her originally blushing face instantly turned red like an apple. She said "thank you" in a mosquito-like voice.

Then, Ye Zhihan handed the remaining red silk ribbon to Mingluo and asked her to tie the cuffs and belt. It was not convenient for him to do the upper body, so it would be better for Mingluo to do it herself.

Only after Mingluo had put on his clothes according to Ye Zhihan's instructions and tied them up did they set out into the Ghost Desert.

Ye Zhihan thought as he walked that he must have been possessed by a demon these past two days. This girl was short and thin and looked easy to bully, so his desire to protect her became stronger and stronger. He even wanted to use his body to block the scorching sun in the desert to prevent Mingluo from being harmed by the scorching sun.

He shook his head secretly and quickened his pace, thinking that if the girl behind him was tired, he could just put her in the shadow.

As for Ming Luo, her gaze towards Ye Zhihan became even more determined. Ye Zhihan appeared icy on the outside, but he was actually warm-hearted. Such a gentle and powerful thigh was indeed worth holding. She was also planning that when she returned to the real world, she would repay Ye Zhihan by being a good host and take him on a tour of modern society.

However, Mingluo's little thoughts did not last long, and she was subdued by the harsh desert environment.

Ming Luo was very attentive and noticed the strangeness of the Ghost Desert. The flow of time here was different from that in other places. Sometimes the rotation of day and night was very fast, and sometimes there were long nights or long days. Moreover, the climate characteristics also changed greatly. Logically speaking, the desert should have harsh weather with a huge temperature difference between day and night, but here it was sometimes hot and sometimes bitterly cold, and there seemed to be no pattern to follow.

"Ye Zhihan, there is something strange about this place." Ming Luo said cautiously.

Ye Zhihan also noticed the problem. This desert was too different from the desert landscape he had in mind. No matter how they walked, they could not get out of this strange place. The two of them were trapped in a vicious circle that they could not escape.

Just as Mingluo and Ye Zhihan were briefly discussing the unusual environment, night fell again. However, this night was obviously different from the previous nights. A black sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun swept in. There seemed to be something like a human figure rolling in the sandstorm. The ghost sandstorm, like a tsunami, seemed to swallow everything.

Not good! There's something in this sandstorm!

"Be careful!" Ye Zhihan hid Mingluo in the shadows.

Then he instantly transformed into a black shadow, racing against time to escape the area before the ghost sandstorm hit. However, the sandstorm was moving too fast, and even with his shadow ability, Ye Zhihan was unable to defeat the sandstorm that was carried by the wind.
