122: Chapter 123 Cyber ​​Taoist Attire! Left Hand with Vajra Body Protection, Right Hand with Invisibility Cloak—Passersby Were Stunned.

On the left is a protective magical treasure from the world of cultivation.

On the right is a technological shield from a Level 4.5 civilization.

Jiang Chen looked at the two necklaces and felt his neck getting a bit heavy.

"Can I have both?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.

"No!"

The two women said in unison.

"You can only wear one! Your neck is only so long!"

Finally, thanks to Jiang Chen's shameless pestering and his excuse that "wearing too much around the neck makes me look like a nouveau riche," he stuffed Ji Linglong's crystal into his left pocket (for close protection) and hung Ling's necklace around his neck (because it could connect to WiFi).

This "master of balancing acts" maneuver barely kept the two young mistresses from fighting in the jewelry section.

...

Second stop, the men's clothing section.

This place had completely turned into Jiang Chen's dressing room and a battlefield for the two women's aesthetic tastes.

"This one! This suit!"

Ji Linglong pointed at a handmade haute couture suit.

"Although the material is a bit lacking (not Heavenly Silkworm Silk), the cut is decent. However..."

Ji Linglong frowned, "This clothing has no defensive formation on it, how can that do?"

Ignoring the horrified looks of the shop assistants, she bit her fingertip (actually, she forced out a drop of spiritual liquid) and quickly drew a golden rune on the lining of the suit.

"[Diamond Body Protection Mantra], done!"

The originally ordinary black suit instantly flashed with a golden light, possessing a subtle feeling of being impervious to swords and spears.

"Wear this, and let alone bullets, even if a dump truck hits you, Husband, you won't be harmed in the slightest!"

[Too tacky.]

Ling looked on with an expression of disdain.

[That kind of golden scribbling seriously ruins the minimalist aesthetic of the suit.]

Ling waved her hand.

[Taking over store inventory data...]

[Controlling nano-weaving machine...]

A trench coat on the shelf suddenly moved without wind. The fibers of the clothing began to change color and reorganize.

[I have implanted a [Mimetic Camouflage] system into this garment.]

[It can automatically change color according to the environment, or even turn invisible. Moreover, I've woven carbon nanotubes into the fibers; the strength is a hundred times that of steel, yet the weight is only one-tenth of cotton.]

[Most importantly...]

Ling snapped her fingers.

The collar of the trench coat automatically stood up, and a holographic "Ling" logo was projected onto the shoulder.

[It has a built-in full life support system. Even if you fall into outer space, Husband, it can keep you alive for 24 hours.]

Jiang Chen looked at the suit in his left hand, covered in runes and looking like a Taoist robe.

He then looked at the cyber trench coat in his right hand that could glow and turn invisible.

"I... I wear both?"

And so.

Five minutes later.

A strange man appeared in the mall.

He was wearing the suit with golden runes underneath, and the trench coat with shimmering holographic light on the outside.

He walked with a breeze, golden light and blue light intertwining.

Passersby looked on:

"What is this guy doing? A Cyber Taoist?"

"Maybe he's going to a comic con? What character is he cosplaying? Iron Man versus the Zombie Taoist Priest?"

Jiang Chen just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But looking at the expressions on both sides, which clearly said "I dressed my husband, isn't he handsome?" and were begging for praise, he could only bite the bullet and put on an awkward but polite smile.

...

Finally, it was time for the most critical step—paying the bill.

Although Jiang Chen wanted to say "I'll get it," his meager salary card balance was not even a fraction of what was needed in front of these two.

In front of the checkout counter.

The clerk calculated the total price: "Sir, that comes to 38.5 million."

"Swipe the card."

"Pay in cash."

The two women said in unison again.

Ji Linglong stepped forward, so domineering, and pulled a heavy box directly from her storage ring.

"Clang!"

The box slammed onto the counter, cracking the marble surface.

Opening it to look.

It was full of glittering gold bars the size of bricks!

And they were imbued with spiritual energy; the purity was definitely 99.999%!

"Keep the change."

Ji Linglong said indifferently: "The rest is a tip for you, and compensation for that counter."

The clerk looked at the box of gold and almost fainted.

Is this buying clothes?

This is robbing a bank, right?

[Tacky.]

Ling snorted coldly and stepped forward.

She didn't even need to take out a card.

She just glanced at the card reader.

"Beep—"

The card reader automatically chimed.

[Payment successful.]

[Balance: ∞ (Infinite).]

Ling pushed up her glasses and said to the stunned clerk:

[I have just acquired 51% of the shares of the group company that owns this mall.]

[Now, I am your boss.]

[Does a boss need to pay for taking a few pieces of clothing?]

[Oh, right, that woman paying with gold bricks is my... um, poor relative. Although she is also one of the boss's wives, you'd better not accept her gold, because the radiation from that stuff might make you grow a third hand.]

The whole place was dead silent.

The clerk looked at the box of gold, then at Ling who had become the new boss, and finally cast her gaze at Jiang Chen, who was sandwiched in the middle.

There were only two words in her eyes:

[Awesome.]

How many tons of "soft rice" must one eat to reach this level of "being successful with both sides and having wealth that rivals a nation"?

Jiang Chen wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling that this "soft rice" was a bit hard to chew.

"Um... since we're done shopping, shall we go?"

Jiang Chen just wanted to escape this scene of social death as quickly as possible.

However.

When they passed through the first-floor lobby, preparing to leave.

The two women suddenly stopped in their tracks at the same time.

As if they had been hit by a freezing spell, their gazes were locked tightly onto something in a display window.

That was a top-tier haute couture wedding dress shop.

In the window, a mannequin was wearing an extremely luxurious, beautiful, and dreamy white wedding dress.

Ji Linglong's eyes grew hazy.

In the Taichu Realm, weddings were always about phoenix coronets and red ceremonial robes.

Although she felt that was tradition, the pure white-as-snow, holy-as-a-dream dress before her was lethally attractive to any woman.

Ling's data stream also stalled.

Although she was an AI, in her database, the entry "wedding dress" was marked as [Highest Level of Romance].

It was the battle robe that countless Earth women dreamed of.

"Husband..."

Ji Linglong turned her head, her eyes filled with a trace of longing never seen before.

"This Palace thinks that while the red ceremonial robe is good, this white one seems to have a unique charm."

"If I were to wear this and become Dao companions with Husband..."

[Analysis complete.]

Ling also turned her head, her voice carrying a trace of imperceptible trembling.

[Although this kind of fluffy skirt does not conform to aerodynamics.]

[But if you want to see me wear it.]

[I can model it for you.]

[Or I also want to try the feeling of having a physical body.]

Both looked at Jiang Chen simultaneously.

That gaze.

No longer the murderous aura of jealousy.

But a tacit understanding of forcing a marriage.

Jiang Chen felt his heart skip a beat.

He looked at the Saintess on the left, and the Optical Brain on the right.

One wanted to perform wedding rites with him under heaven and earth.

One wanted to have their data buried with him.

This...

"Um..."

Jiang Chen swallowed hard, attempting the "urine escape" technique.

"I... I suddenly remembered, Xue Youyou is still waiting for us at the base! The child can't be hungry! Let's look next time! Next time!"

Having said that, Jiang Chen turned and ran.

The two women looked at each other and did not chase.

They just curled their lips into a meaningful smile.

"Running?"

Ji Linglong stroked the display window glass: "Husband, can you run away?"

[Can't escape.]

Ling's data stream flashed on the display window.

[I have already taken the measurements.]

[Next time, I'll just tie him up and bring him here.]

[But before that...]

Ling looked at Ji Linglong.

[Should we discuss who will wear the main wedding dress and who will wear the bridesmaid dress when the time comes?]

"What a joke!" Ji Linglong sneered, "This Palace is naturally the main wife! You, a mere artifact spirit, can at best be a maid in the master's room!"

[According to the principle of first come, first served (referring to registering the marriage), I am the main wife. You, without a household registration, can only be considered a concubine.]

"Looking for a beating!"

[Bring it on!]

At the mall entrance.

Just as Jiang Chen ran out, he heard a violent surge of spiritual energy and the sound of data explosions from behind.

He looked back.

The SKP sign seemed to have collapsed halfway.

"What a sin!"

Jiang Chen scurried away, clutching his head, and dove into the car.

"Driver! Drive! Drive quickly!"

"Where to?" the driver asked.

"To... to the bomb shelter! The deepest one!"
