276: Chapter 276 Buying Clothes

While taking a bath in the hotel just now, Xing Yaoyan specifically checked the messages on her phone.

Only then did she learn that the Star Cult's massive activities in Youfeng City this time, which on the surface were just Crystal Coin claiming to be making such a big fuss for his own sake, were actually because the Cult Leader had originally assigned him a task, saying it was to retrieve something.

Now that the mission was complete, he had safely retreated before the people from the Security Bureau could react.

Combining this with the official news on her phone, this guy had escaped almost a few minutes before Leng You died; his actions were quite swift.

However, he also seemed to have sensed Huan Wuxing's powerful energy fluctuations. In the message he sent to Xing Yaoyan, he casually mentioned that she should pay attention to her and be careful. At the end, he also took the opportunity to mention that he knew some confidential information about their mysterious First Seat of the Star Cult, and if she wanted it, she could trade for it with Spirit Crystals.

The essence of a profiteer was exposed without a doubt...

However, she didn't want to worry about those random things anymore. Now was the hard-won alone time for her and Qian Mo.

This was also the first time she had truly relaxed completely and gone shopping with him properly...

With a sweet smile on her face, Xing Yaoyan held her beloved's hand and thoroughly enjoyed the prosperous scenery of the city.

After all, this was the city where she and Qian Mo met; she didn't know when she would be back again...

The place where they were shopping was not far from the mayor's office building. From time to time, they could see some robots flying around in the sky on patrol. Regarding the assassination of the mayor this time, the people from the Security Bureau were handling it with severe measures.

However, Xing Yaoyan knew that this kind of scene would end in a few days. Because there were still many people eyeing the title of mayor of Youfeng City, it wouldn't be long before a new mayor took office, launched a series of policies, and people would slowly forget the former mayor...

In contrast to the serious atmosphere of the drones was the still lively scene on the street. The vitality of the market hadn't dimmed in the slightest because of this incident. It was the weekend now, and everyone was doing what they usually did—eating, drinking, and having fun; no one let such matters affect their mood for enjoyment.

Those leaders were originally high and mighty; most citizens didn't see them many times, and they were usually working like cattle and horses. Rather than worrying so much, it was better to live their own lives well...

"Xiao Yan... Shouldn't we really be running away? Just appearing here so boldly like this?"

In fact, Qian Mo's original intention was to leave early. This could be seen from how he used the properties of his Star Body to silently break through the hotel's security Spirit Array.

But who would have known that Xing Yaoyan didn't want to leave just like that at all, and instead dragged him out to appear here openly, as if she wasn't afraid of being caught at all.

"Run away? Are you talking about running on foot using that method of yours? You have to know that the entire Youfeng City is surrounded by people from the Security Bureau, and they have set up a bunch of shielding Spirit Arrays. Any public transportation will perform identity verification. Once people like us who have no reasonable travel records appear, we will definitely be located instantly."

Xing Yaoyan responded.

"But..."

"Don't worry, I already said I have a backup plan~ It's just that it's not the right time yet. Right now, all we can do is wait patiently~"

"Besides, their attention is focused on the border areas with other cities; they definitely wouldn't imagine that we would dare to appear in the city center so boldly..."

Xing Yaoyan was not in a hurry at all; instead, she looked at Qian Mo's slightly furrowed brow—caused by his anxiety—with a teasing expression.

She didn't tell Qian Mo what the method was, just half-saying and half-hiding it to keep him in suspense.

She now understood some of Hu Wang's bad taste—so it was really satisfying to be a riddle-maker...

Just as Qian Mo wanted to ask more, Xing Yaoyan suddenly pulled his hand with force and turned to drag him towards a women's clothing store.

Having already done that kind of thing, Xing Yaoyan was more accepting of her current female identity in her heart.

Since that was the case, it was only right to buy more pretty clothes.

You know, the gold-threaded dress she was currently wearing was the one she had brought with her when she transformed; she really had too few feminine clothes...

"Hello! Wow! This Young Miss, your figure is truly great, and you are so beautiful. Please, you must try our new arrivals; they definitely won't let you down!"

As soon as they walked into the store, a receptionist with exquisite makeup popped out instantly. The moment she saw Xing Yaoyan, she couldn't wait to introduce her to the various styles of clothing in the store.

"Uh..."

After all, it was her first time here, so Xing Yaoyan just went along with this enthusiastic young lady.

But when she took the few sets of clothes the other person handed her, her little face turned red instantly.

Are these clothes? Aren't these just a few pieces of fabric? And... how dare they sell just this little bit of fabric for over a thousand credit points?

The young lady obviously noticed the young girl's hesitant actions. She thought the other party was concerned about the price, so she immediately patted her chest and promised that, given her appearance, she could take the liberty of giving her a 50% discount.

Xing Yaoyan hurriedly waved her hands.

"Um... are there any that are more conservative? Isn't this exposing a bit too much..."

"Not at all, don't worry, everything that needs to be covered can be covered. Besides, a figure like yours, which has both a sense of power and softness, is too rare. With a figure like yours, you should show it off generously, otherwise it would really be a pity..."

"Ahem..."

Just then, Qian Mo, who was beside her, suddenly spoke up:

"Xiao Yan, why don't we just try them on first? Anyway, if they don't fit, we just won't buy them."

"That's true..."

Hearing Qian Mo say this, Xing Yaoyan nodded as well.

The final decision was indeed in her own hands, and she had come this time to see modern women's attire, mainly for the experience. If she was scared away just like that, it would be quite embarrassing.

"Then I will give it a try..."

Xing Yaoyan, blushing slightly, snatched the clothes from the young lady's hands and ran towards the fitting room.

Not long after, the White-haired girl walked out wearing a miniskirt and a crop top. Although the clothing had little fabric, it was extremely form-fitting, perfectly accentuating the young girl's graceful figure.

"Perfect... it's simply a work of art..." The receptionist was stunned.

Xing Yaoyan stood on tiptoe and spun around once in front of the full-length mirror, then turned her head and said to the young man over there who was standing with his mouth open and not moving:

"How is it? Does it look good?"

"Gulp... It, it looks good." Qian Mo swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Hmph hmph... It looks good, but I feel chilly all over my body; it's uncomfortable..."

Under Qian Mo's extremely disappointed gaze, the young girl hopped back into the fitting room...

After trying on a few more styles, while Xing Yaoyan went to change clothes, the young lady suddenly said: "Sir, you are her husband, right?"

"Ahem, at this stage, we are only boyfriend and girlfriend..." Qian Mo replied.

However, the receptionist instantly read the underlying meaning in his words: only at this stage, it won't be long...

"I'm so envious of you. Let alone you as a man, even I, a woman, am about to be turned bent..."

Her slightly jealous expression made Qian Mo feel very pleased.

Can't help it... My Xiao Yan is just that charming!

"By the way... I'll buy the few pieces of clothing she just tried on. Wrap them up for me secretly; don't tell her..."

After trying on clothes for several hours, Xing Yaoyan finally bought two dresses and three or four pieces of women's sportswear.

There was no way around it; she still couldn't accept those revealing outfits, perhaps because she hadn't completely shifted her mindset yet...

They say that accompanying a girl to try on clothes is a painful journey that every man must go through, and Xing Yaoyan originally thought Qian Mo would be the same.

After all, she was indeed very picky about clothing. If the color or a tiny bit of the tailoring didn't meet her wishes, even if she liked it at first glance, she would mercilessly discard it and choose to try something else.

It was nothing like her past life, where she rarely bought clothes a few times a year, and as long as what she bought was cost-effective and wearable, it was fine; she was not at all as picky as she was now.

But Qian Mo behaved with considerable patience. Sometimes she could even discover him snickering inexplicably. When she asked him, he would just stutter and brush it off, and she had no idea why he was smiling so happily...

"You two, take care!"

Watching the two walking further and further away, the receptionist's eyes revealed an auntie smile.

"The two are truly a talented man and a beautiful woman. I don't know whose Young Master and Young Miss they are; they are just so shippable... Uh... why do I feel a little dizzy..."

"...Eh! Did I just space out? It must be because I stayed up late last night chasing web dramas. It seems I need to be more restrained in the future..."

...
