The line of girls all had their eyes light up. They could get paid and have close contact with a handsome young man. Who would refuse such a good deal?
What if you hit it off during the collaboration? Wouldn't you be able to gain both wealth and beauty?
A girl in purple stepped forward first. She took a step forward and stretched out her slender arms to show off her figure, but as she turned around, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
Yin Ming was startled by this sudden scene and quickly put down his teacup. "Miss, are you alright?"
The girl in purple rubbed her ankle, her expression slightly changing. "Thank you for your concern, young master. I just twisted it by accident, it's nothing serious..."
She struggled to stand up, but the twisted spot hurt as soon as she moved. The girl frowned in annoyance, thinking, "Why did I have to twist it at such a good time? I'm so useless."
Seeing that she had difficulty getting up, Yin Ming told her not to force herself.
Since the girl had sprained her ankle because of him, out of humanitarian considerations, Yin Ming gave her half a bag of jade before continuing to interview the remaining girls.
Seeing how generous Yin Ming was, the remaining girls all began to take action.
For some reason, every girl who stepped forward would inexplicably encounter a sudden problem.
This person suddenly twisted their waist, that person can't hear, this person's vision is blurry, that person can't speak...
After one round, not a single person was able to fully demonstrate their abilities; they all went to see the doctor.
Yin Ming crossed his arms, quite puzzled. What was going on? Could someone be deliberately causing trouble?
Looking around, I saw that Long Cheng had changed back into his own clothes and was now sitting at the tea table, munching on melon seeds and watching the show, looking rather bored.
Lingyao, standing beside him, quietly lowered his eyes and stared at the ground, as if nothing that happened in the room concerned him.
It's even less likely that she'd be the shopkeeper; she was the one who brought the person in, why would she want to shoot herself in the foot?
Yin Ming closed his eyes and carefully sensed the presence of other cultivators in the clothing store, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He's probably overthinking it. If someone were really causing trouble, he would have sensed it.
Seeing the girls he had found causing one problem after another, the shopkeeper was so embarrassed that he broke out in a cold sweat. "Should I... go find a few more?"
Yin Ming sighed, as if that was all he could do, and casually waved his hand to signal the shopkeeper to go.
He'll try another batch, and if that doesn't work, he'll just be honest with Yao Ling. He's tired and doesn't want to go through any more trouble.
"Yin Ming, how about... I give it a try?"
Upon realizing it was Ling Yao speaking, Yin Ming, who had been taking a nap with his eyes closed, immediately perked up. The male lead had actually volunteered to dress up as a woman?!
Yin Ming hadn't originally planned to hire actresses, since there might be some intimate interactions during the process, and he was afraid the girls wouldn't be willing, which would also make him feel awkward.
Furthermore, those girls weren't familiar with him, and if Yao Ling asked a few questions, he might be exposed. That's why Yin Ming thought of having someone he knew pretend to be his wife.
Speaking of acquaintances, Yin Ming only has two acquaintances around him: Long Cheng and Ling Yao. Both of them are men, so Yin Ming can feel at ease holding hands and hugging them.
In terms of height, Lingyao is actually the more suitable candidate in Yin Ming's mind, since Long Cheng is three centimeters taller than Yin Ming.
It's not that Yin Ming is prejudiced against women because of their height; it's just that guys rarely date girls who are taller than them, as it puts a lot of psychological pressure on them.
Lingyao was exactly five centimeters shorter than Yinming, and his physique was also quite suitable.
However, Yin Ming only dared to think about it in his heart. He dared not let the future big boss dress up as a woman. Otherwise, if the big boss recalled this matter after his future rebirth, he would definitely turn against him in a heartbeat.
Therefore, Yin Ming had no choice but to let Long Cheng take the role. However, Long Cheng was completely unreliable, and Yin Ming had no choice but to find other actors.
Now that it's the big boss's own request, Yin Ming won't stand on ceremony!
Yin Ming gestured to the shopkeeper to help Ling Yao get dressed. The shopkeeper received the signal and immediately picked out an outfit for Ling Yao to wear. Then he took Ling Yao to his room to put on makeup.
Yin Ming paced back and forth outside the door, quite excited. He was really curious about what Lingyao Women's Clothing would look like in the future.
The image of Long Cheng flashed through Yin Ming's mind, and a pang of anxiety shot through him. He couldn't possibly be as ugly as Long Cheng, could he...?
"Trust the male lead's good looks!" Yin Ming comforted himself briefly, then couldn't help pacing around in circles.
Long Cheng rolled his eyes at this, thinking that anyone who didn't know better would think his wife was giving birth inside.
It felt like an eternity before the door creaked open. Yin Ming looked up expectantly, only to see the shopkeeper's smiling face.
Just as she was feeling disappointed, the shopkeeper chuckled and took a step back, revealing Lingyao standing behind her.
Yin Ming slowly opened his eyes, his right hand instinctively pressing against his chest, trying to calm his still wildly beating heart...

"Dr. Li, please come and take a look at me, my ankle really hurts..." The girl in purple touched her fair ankle and called out to the doctor in the shop pitifully.
Li Sheng was taking the pulse of another woman when he heard this and frowned slightly.
Half an hour ago, the group of girls entered the clinic one after another, constantly complaining about the pain in their bodies, but after a preliminary diagnosis, no illness could be found in them.
Like the woman in front of him, she claimed that her vision suddenly became so blurry that she couldn't see anything, but Li Sheng had already tested her and found that her pupils reacted normally, just like a normal person.
The pulse diagnosis revealed no abnormalities; on the contrary, the patient's physical condition was perfectly healthy.
If Li Sheng weren't already over sixty, he would have suspected that these girls were deliberately trying to harass him.
However, the girls were making a big fuss, so Li Sheng rubbed his aching temples, walked to the medicine cabinet, and got three prescriptions for pain relief for each of them.
If any fans of the original work saw this scene, they would definitely be able to help but complain, "Isn't this just the kind of mental attack that the male protagonist often uses later in the story?!"
Yao Ling was passing by the entrance of the clinic when she heard the commotion and couldn't help but turn around to look.
"What happened? The clinic is so lively."
The guard beside her shook his head slightly, and Yao Ling shrugged and let out a soft breath.
I'll see Yin Ming soon. This time I must expose his lies and stay by his side without leaving him for a moment!
***
Winter is approaching, and the evening breeze carries a biting chill.
Standing under the willow tree, Yao Ling tightened her outer robe. In the distance, she could see Yin Ming walking slowly toward her, accompanied by an elegant woman wearing a white cloak.
The two exuded an indescribable sense of compatibility. Yao Ling bit her lip. Could it be that Yin Ming was really already married?
"Let me introduce you, this is my wife, Jiaoyue." Yin Ming stopped in front of Yao Ling and pointed somewhat embarrassedly to the woman beside him.
Yao Ling followed his overly shy gaze to the woman, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
The woman wore a pale yellow wide-sleeved ruqun, which made her fair skin appear even more delicate.
The white belt accentuated her slender waist, making her appear even taller and more elegant.
Her gaze was distant and aloof, but when it fell on Yin Ming, it would soften with tenderness, giving her flawless features a lively quality.
She truly is just like her name suggests, as serene and elegant as the bright moon hanging in the sky.
Yao Ling felt that her beauty, which she had always been proud of, was completely defeated in front of her.
Such a woman... is indeed worthy of Yin Ming.
