Chapter 353 Mrs. Jiang, you didn't want this either...
"Okay."
"I... I... will listen to you..."
Mira turned her head away and yielded, "What do you want me to do?"
Chen Yu smiled faintly, "Just as I said before, use your Talent on me, but the condition is... you must change into more suitable clothing to maximize the potential of your Talent."
"...Okay."
Mira bit her lower lip, "I will change myself; you turn around first."
"I won't."
"..."
Mira's fingers clenched the hem of her skirt, and then, as if resigning herself to her fate, she took a set of dark gray short skirts out of her personal backpack, resembling a flight attendant's uniform.
But the next second, Chen Yu threw that set of clothes directly onto the floor, "Wrapped up tight like that, what's the point of wearing it?"
Mira's hand froze in mid-air.
She couldn't help but wonder if this guy's sickness had already reached such an extent.
"...Then what do you want me to wear?"
Mira gritted her teeth, "I don't have the kind you want to see; I'm a decent person."
Chen Yu's mouth twitched, "Who isn't a decent person?"
As he spoke, Chen Yu took out a black slip dress from his backpack and threw it onto the bed.
Mira frowned. The Fabric of this dress was extremely thin, translucent under the light, with an outrageously low neckline, only two thin straps crossing on the back, and the hem was short enough to be completely defenseless.
She reached out and picked it up; it was so light it had almost no weight.
"You... how do you carry this around with you?"
In Mira's voice, there was unconcealable shock.
"One must always be prepared in the apocalypse,"
"You prepared this?"
"Mhm."
"You... you're really a pervert..."
Mira gritted her teeth and cursed, but when she looked up, Chen Yu's scorching gaze still made her feel uncomfortable all over.
In the end, helpless, she yielded.
Mira stood up, turned her back to Chen Yu, and began to change clothes with a rustling sound.
During this process, Chen Yu was about to explode.
There was no helping it; after all, this was the boost of multiple buffs, and he was also eager to increase his free attribute point.
Not long after, Mira finally finished changing. The black slip dress wrapped around her body, revealing her entire bare back.
The hem of the skirt was short to the base of her thighs, and the thin-strapped high heels were still on her feet.
She turned around, her ears bright red, and subconsciously bent down to kick off the high heels.
"Don't."
"Just keep it like this; my interest is at its peak."
"Mhm."
Chen Yu admired her up and down, feeling the surrounding threads invading, but there was only a tiny bit of increase.
Suddenly, Mira lost her footing and stumbled, falling to the ground.
Chen Yu frowned, "?"
Mira was genuinely weak, "I... I really overdrawn too much life force and Talent energy; I... I can't activate it."
Chen Yu sneered, "You are lying."
Mira was shocked, her voice weak, "I didn't!"
Chen Yu asked indifferently, "Then when can you activate it again?"
Mira gritted her teeth, "At the earliest, it will take a week, and... I need to accumulate more... favorability from other men; otherwise, I can't activate my Talent!"
"The restrictions are this big?"
Chen Yu shook his head, "False."
"???"
Mira was anxious, "It's true! I wouldn't dare lie to you!"
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes, "It seems I have to send your current appearance to my old classmate."
As he spoke, Chen Yu pretended he was about to send it.
But Mira lunged over, grabbing Chen Yu's hand, "I'll do anything you want! Please, don't send it! We are about to get married; if you do this... if he sees this photo, everything will be over..."
Seeing her reaction, Chen Yu fell into silence.
She wasn't a drama student like Zhang Zixuan; if a layman could perform this kind of effect, then she was truly gifted.
He couldn't find any flaws at all.
However, if what she said was true, didn't that mean his dream of increasing attributes was ruined?
A week... the opportunity would be long gone by then.
Plus, it required three elements: life force, Talent energy, and the accumulation of favorability.
Looking at it this way, this crappy Talent was just so-so, far inferior to his own Red Phoenix Tribulation Seat.
"Sigh."
"Since you have no utility value, let's just squeeze out whatever use you have left."
Chen Yu said helplessly.
Mira was stunned, "You... ugh... what are you doing! Let me go!"
...
Under the phoenix tree, the daylight was slanting in from the west, stretching the shadow of the courtyard wall very long, with half of the courtyard bathed in the warm orange sunset.
Jiang Boyuan walked in from outside, spinning a lighter in his hand, and walked back under the phoenix tree.
Shen Qingci frowned, "President Jiang, didn't you just send someone down earlier, saying you wanted to talk to Chen Yu about something?"
Jiang Boyuan looked up, "Yes, that's right."
"Then where is he now?"
Shen Qingci pressed, "Why are you coming back from outside?"
Jiang Boyuan was also stunned when he heard this, "I had something to deal with just now, and I already told Chen Yu not to come up, didn't I?"
He spread his hands, confused, "He didn't come down?"
Shen Qingci looked at him without speaking.
Qiao Xi also frowned, "Chen Yu didn't come down; he went up a long time ago."
Jiang Boyuan rubbed his chin, "This kid, he didn't get lost, did he? The corridors in Yan Garden are a bit winding, with many corners, so it's indeed easy to take a wrong turn."
"?"
Shen Qingci was a bit helpless; getting lost in a Villa? What kind of joke was that?
Jiang Boyuan had already stood up and gestured to the two women, "Why don't you come up with me to take a look?"
Shen Qingci and Qiao Xi exchanged a glance; they were very worried about Chen Yu's safety, as they had just sent messages but received no reply.
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Jiang Boyuan walked in front, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Although Mira hadn't sent him a message, it was highly likely just because she forgot.
She had never failed before.
No man could resist Mira's temptation.
Jiang Boyuan had to admit that whether before or after the apocalypse, Mira had unconditional trust and adoration for him.
Now that he had climbed to the upper echelons of Gold-Swallowing Hall, it was indeed time to give her a proper status.
A wedding dress, a decent wedding; from now on, she would be the legitimate Mrs. Jiang.
As for Shen Qingci... those he couldn't obtain before the apocalypse could only be concubines.
The woman named Qiao Xi on the side also had a nice charm; she was suitable to keep by his side.
Before that, what he needed to do was give them a big gift.
Let them see just how pathetic Chen Yu really was.
He reckoned that in the room, Mira was sitting on the edge of the bed, stepping hard on his forehead with her high heels...
