Seeing the "strange clothes" handed to them, Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier's expressions were incredibly varied, like they were being forced to swallow a live, jumping toad.
Ling Qingxue's fingers trembled slightly as she touched the brightly colored, strangely made windbreaker, then picked up the black track pants that looked completely shapeless, her brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.
This...this crude and lifeless fabric, this bizarre and unprecedented design!
How could you make a dignified and aloof fairy wear this?
That's even harder to accept than having to fight the witch again!
Night Enchantress's condition wasn't much better.
She clutched the soft, close-fitting, quick-drying long-sleeved shirt and the stretchy yoga pants, her eyes filled with disdain and suspicion.
"This fabric is so thin, clinging to the skin, how is it any different from...the clothes worn in brothels?!"
She lowered her voice and complained to Zhang Shaozhong through gritted teeth, her alluring eyes practically spitting fire.
Making her wear something that accentuates her figure is worse than her continuing to wear leaves!
At least the foliage is wild!
Zhang Shaozhong practically wanted to kneel before these two patriarchs. While frantically pulling on his oversized T-shirt and ridiculous beach shorts, he urged them in a low, urgent voice:
"My dear ladies! Please make do with this! This is the best option available!"
It's better than wearing leaves and being made a fool of, right? This is called a windproof jacket!
Quick-drying clothes! For outdoor sports, really professional! Much more practical than your... silk and satin!
The other hikers saw the three of them standing there, holding their clothes, with strange expressions. They assumed they were embarrassed or hadn't recovered from the shock.
The kind-hearted girl who had offered her windbreaker stepped forward and smiled warmly at Ling Qingxue.
"Miss, don't be afraid, put this on quickly. The temperature in the mountains fluctuates a lot, and it won't be good to catch a cold. This jacket is waterproof, and the pants are quite durable."
As she spoke, she kindly tried to put her coat on Ling Qingxue.
Ling Qingxue took a step back like a startled rabbit, avoiding the girl's hand.
Her eyes were cold, yet tinged with panic. She instinctively tried to use her spiritual power to shake off this "rude" mortal.
Zhang Shaozhong was so frightened his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He quickly stepped in front of Ling Qingxue, blocking her, and forced a smile at the girl:
"Thank you! Thank you! She can do it herself! She...she's a bit shy! She's quite traditional!"
The girl was taken aback by Ling Qingxue's reaction, but she didn't think much of it, assuming that Ling Qingxue was just too frightened, so she nodded amicably and stepped back.
Zhang Shaozhong wiped away a cold sweat, turned around, looked at the two big shots with almost pleading eyes, and said in a low voice:
"My ancestors! I'm begging you! Put it on! Just think of it as... experiencing life!"
When in Rome, do as the Romans do! If we dawdle any longer, they'll get suspicious!
Perhaps the phrase "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" had some effect, or perhaps the desire for "normal clothes" finally overcame the disgust. Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier, with extreme humiliation and a sense of death, picked up the pile of "rough and tattered clothes" and went behind a large rock to change.
Zhang Shao waited anxiously, fearing that he would hear cries of surprise from behind the rock, such as "How do I tie this belt?" or "How do I crawl through this hole?" or that the two big shots might simply lose their temper and go berserk.
Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.
After a while, the two big shots emerged from behind the rock, their faces ashen and their bodies stiff with embarrassment.
puff--!
Zhang Shaozhong almost popped his eyes out after just one glance, then bit his lip hard to keep from laughing out loud, his shoulders shaking from holding it in.
Ling Qingxue, that aloof and otherworldly fairy, was wearing a bright blue windbreaker with the zipper askew.
He was wearing a pair of ill-fitting, baggy black athletic pants with the hem dragging on the ground.
Her long, smooth, black hair contrasted sharply with her extremely mismatched outdoor outfit, coupled with her cold and humiliating expression that seemed to say, "You mortals are all ants, but I have no choice but to wear your clothes."
It's like...it's like a fairy who was forcibly dragged down to the mortal world and then covered with a sack, both pitiful and hilarious!
Then look at Ye Meier, she's absolutely stunning!
She wore that gray quick-drying long-sleeved shirt so well that it looked like a bodysuit, perfectly highlighting her stunning figure!
Her black yoga pants hugged her long, straight legs tightly, showing off her curves!
This outfit would definitely make her look like a fitness goddess in modern times, but paired with Ye Meier's angry and indignant expression that says "I really want to kill this person, this outfit is practically useless," and her subconscious action of trying to pull at the hem of her clothes to cover her body, it has a unique and extremely seductive charm!
Both big shots were clearly extremely uncomfortable in their modern attire, feeling something was off about them. The fabric felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable against their skin, and their movements became somewhat stiff.
The other hikers didn't find anything too unusual; they just thought the two girls were incredibly beautiful and looked good in anything, but their aura was a bit...too unique.
Wow, you girls look great in these outfits!
"Yes, yes, you have a great figure!"
"Were you here to take traditional Chinese style photos? What happened? Did you drop your equipment?"
Faced with the enthusiastic chatter and curious glances from fellow travelers, Ling Qingxue remained cold and silent, completely ignoring them as if they were invisible.
Ye Meier wanted to lash out, but Zhang Shaozhong desperately stopped her with his eyes. She could only force out an extremely stiff "smile," which looked more like a sinister grin, and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth:
