Chapter 33
"I... I think I'd better not!"
An Ruo was persuaded by the woman's words, but then looked down at her chubby belly and, thinking about the size of the dress, she withdrew her intention to explore.
Instead, she looked at her friend in front of her; tall and beautiful, she was sure she would be a good match.
"Li Yao, why don't you give it a try? Your figure is definitely good."
"Me? I... how can I do that?" Li Yao's eyes widened as if she had heard something unbelievable, and she waved her hands repeatedly.
An Ruo couldn't bear to hear her friend say no, and immediately said:
"You're so good-looking, why not? I'll go ask the shop assistant."
As she spoke, An Ruo immediately went to find the shop assistant who had brought them up.
Under the soft yellow ambient lighting, Li Yao's lips curled up slightly.
A hint of smugness flashed in his eyes as he turned to the fluttering butterfly.
...
Ever since Lingxi changed her clothes and came out, Huaxi has circled around Lingxi several times.
He looked extremely satisfied.
The dress is a traditional yet modernized cheongsam made of silk. The design features a wide body, large sleeves, and a round neckline. It is embroidered with peonies, chrysanthemums, and phoenix-tail butterflies in gradient blue thread, giving it a fresh, elegant, natural, and lively feel.
With a slight lift of her foot, the hem of her skirt swayed, and the embroidered butterflies danced as if they were about to fly out of her dress.
Lingxi glanced at the person in the mirror, her eyebrows twitching slightly, and the beautiful figure in the mirror moved accordingly.
It is said that clothes make the man.
However, after changing her clothes, she felt noticeably different.
Hua Xi stood to the side, her eyes squinting upwards, "This is exactly the effect I wanted, it's perfect."
"Oh, right, my beauty~"
"I don't know your name yet, may I have the honor of adding you as a contact?"
Hua Xi's voice had a unique charm at the end, which made Ling Xi's heart flutter.
"My master... is called Lingxi."
Jin Moli considers herself the senior disciple of her sect, and when problems arise, she should step forward to help her master deal with them.
The teenage girl had a youthful face, but her behavior was already somewhat mature.
This made Hua Xi smile even wider. Without pondering why the little girl had recognized a master, she went along with it and said, "Then please, little master, help me apply to your master, okay?"
"Okay, you... wait a moment."
Jin Moli glanced at Hua Xi secretly, then turned and whispered in Ling Xi's ear.
"Master,...will you...give it to me?"
Lingxi bent down and whispered, "Then give it to her."
"Pfft~" Hua Xi couldn't help but turn around and cover her mouth to hide her laughter. It had been a long time since she had seen something so interesting.
"You're sweeping me?"
"OK."
Lingxi took out her phone and showed the QR code, which Huaxi quickly scanned.
"This is my eldest apprentice."
"Oh, it's the founding senior sister!"
Jin Moli blushed slightly at the beauty's teasing, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Yes... I... also have... a junior brother."
"That's amazing."
Hua Xi saw the shop assistant waiting to the side and said:
"Excuse me, I'll be right back in a minute."
Lingxi smiled and nodded, then casually glanced at the two people.
The shop assistant approached Huaxi and explained why she had come.
"Who is it? The one in red?"
After hearing this, Hua Xi grabbed the end of her hair and tilted her head to glance at the woman in red not far away. The woman was slightly plump, and Hua Xi already had several outfits in mind, but the embroidered white dress was the only one she didn't have.
The shop assistant shook her head: "It's that lady in the blue dress."
"oh?"
"Her?"
When Hua Xi saw that delicate and frail appearance, she knew what was going on.
Tell them that this dress is the only one available and has already been sold.
"OK"
Hua Xi smiled and moved closer to Ling Xi, her mind overflowing with inspiration as she looked at her.
This is hardly a customer.
She's practically her muse!
"Would you like me to style your hair?"
Hua Xi excitedly volunteered.
Lingxi declined, saying, "No need, I want to take a look by myself. You can go ahead and do your work!"
Sensing that the customer didn't want anyone to accompany her, Huaxi tactfully walked away.
"Okay, honey, take your time looking at it. Call me if you need anything~"
...
"Madam, you have excellent taste. This 'Fairy Dream' dress is a limited edition, but it has already been selected by a customer."
As the sales assistant led them around, she introduced the clothes on the side, "We just released a few new items this week, all with exclusive cuts, like this one."
As the shop assistant picked up a small piece of fabric, she explained, "This one is made of Song brocade, and the pattern on it..."
"This is..."
Li Yao secretly rolled her eyes at the shop assistant, feeling quite annoyed.
Even though the clothes that were presented were all different, she just wanted that one.
She quickly regained her composure and said pitifully, "Sister, is it really not possible? I saw that other sister was still trying."
An Ruo chimed in, "That's right, it's all business, so what's the difference who you sell to?"
"How about this, I'll add to whatever amount she pays."
Li Yao's eyes were filled with emotion as she spoke: "An'an~ Let's forget about it."
He looked visibly upset, but acted as if nothing was wrong and advised her to give up.
An Ruo's attitude was firm: "We want that one, you can decide what to do!"
"Madam, we..."
"Stop! I don't want to hear any more. Didn't you hear what my friend was saying? She! Wants to have a dream!"
The shop assistant looked troubled, "This..."
"Sorry, please wait a moment."
The staff treated them as a private lounge for customers.
"Ladies, we have snacks and drinks here. Please have a cup of tea to calm your nerves, and I'll arrange it for you right away."
Li Yao sat down casually and said pretentiously, "An'an, this shop is just ripping off customers. Do they think we're easy to bully?"
As he spoke, he poured An Ruo another cup of tea.
An Ruo nodded in agreement: "These days, if you don't take a tough stance, you can't buy anything good."
There was no noise being suppressed inside, so the staff member who had just left the room could hear it clearly.
"Tch, who does he think he is!"
The shop assistant rolled her eyes inwardly and muttered something under her breath.
Then he immediately went to find the store manager.
The chat inside was still going on.
"Sigh, this store is not as good as a luxury goods store."
"What about Lingxi? Is she coming tomorrow?"
Li Yao! An Ruo!
Lingxi never expected that the two of them would end up together. It was clear that Li Yao had secretly interfered in Lanzhi's relationship, seduced Lanzhi's boyfriend into cheating on her, and thus aggravated Lanzhi's depression, leading to her suicide.
Their friendship with Li Yao naturally broke down.
It's good enough if we don't become enemies.
Unexpectedly, I ran into these two today, and they seemed to be having a good time together.
An Ruo is such a fool. She was completely fooled by Li Yao's low-level tricks and still thinks good things about Li Yao.
Hmph~
Since An Ruo and Li Yao are getting along well, they can no longer be friends.
In fact, Lingxi had noticed them the moment they arrived.
However, she had changed so much that none of them recognized her.
After the two walked away, Lingxi deliberately left a wisp of her divine sense on them.
Hearing the two men making things difficult for the shop assistant, Lingxi sneered. It's true that people's character changes after spending a lot of time with them.
Just as Lingxi was wondering whether she should step in.
Lingxi heard the two mention her name.
She paused in her movements.
I'm really looking forward to hearing some nice things from the two of them.
An Ruo leaned back in her chair and took a sip of tea. "Probably. She accepted the invitation I sent last time."
Li Yao looked worried: "An'an, will Lingxi be angry if she sees me with you?"
“Last time I really didn’t know that was Lan Zhi’s boyfriend. He clearly told me that he was single.”
"An'an, I'm so scared~"
As Li Yao spoke, she quickly sat down next to An Ruo, her eyes filled with fear.
Lingxi, who had been given a good sip of tea, felt like throwing up.
But when faced with the frail Li Yao, An Ruo quickly comforted her: "No, I'm sure there's some misunderstanding. Ling Xi is here, I'll put in a good word for you."
"What if...it still doesn't work?"
An Ruo replied without hesitation, "If it doesn't work, then pretend I don't have Ling Xi as a friend. Li Yao, you are my best friend, and no one can hurt you."
"this……"
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
An Ruo replied without hesitation, "What's the big deal? If it weren't for Yao Yao thinking of me and introducing me to Ahui, I wouldn't be this happy. It's all thanks to you."
happiness?
It's all about the money!
Li Yao pursed her lips, but quickly smiled and said, "An'an, you are also my best friend in this life."
"Yes, we'll be best friends for life."
Li Yao said casually, "I heard that Lingxi brought us to this store."
"It's definitely not a good shop."
"Hmm, it's just so-so."
The store manager, who was walking outside, almost punched himself when he heard this.
Thank goodness, she managed to force a smile.
"Ladies, I am the manager of Huaxi Valley."
Li Yao raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Oh."
"Tell me, how do you plan to resolve this?" An Ruo said with a stern face, her imposing manner somewhat intimidating.
"Yes, ma'am, the Xianmeng design has indeed been ordered. However, we also have a high-end limited edition custom design by the same designer as Xianmeng. I can apply for a 15% discount for you. How about that?"
"She's quite sensible."
"Yaoyao, what do you think?"
Li Yao said sweetly, "An'an, I don't know much about this, can you help me choose one?"
"Then let's do it your way."
The store manager immediately smiled and said, "You're so knowledgeable! Do you know that celebrity? The design for the event she attended last time was by this designer."
"Really?" Li Meng became interested upon hearing this.
"It's true, madam, I'll get your clothes now."
"Um."
As soon as the store manager left, Li Yao's voice became even sweeter: "Our An'an is so smart, giving me such nice clothes to wear!"
"My friend should definitely get the best."
As soon as the shop manager entered, Lingxi withdrew her divine sense.
I had a premonition several years ago, and now that it has come true, there's nothing to be sad about.
The knot in my heart seemed to loosen at this moment.
The long-dormant sea of consciousness trembled slightly, and the spiritual energy filling the dantian suddenly began to flow uncontrollably, even causing a slight swelling and pain in the meridians.
What... happened?
Lingxi had never experienced anything like this before, and she was somewhat bewildered and at a loss.
"You're about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, quickly circulate your energy to suppress it."
Awakened by the commotion in his mind's sea, Su Yuan noticed the disturbance and called out to warn him.
Upon hearing this, Lingxi immediately took action, closed her eyes, calmed herself, and held her breath, finally managing to suppress it with great effort.
"Your condition won't last much longer. Don't use your spiritual power for now. Go back to Linxi Cave as soon as possible."
"Hmm... Phew..."
Lingxi slowly exhaled and took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
