18: Sir, you gave me this thing, do you want me to wear it for you to see?

"Gongzi refined a few more clothes for me?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cai Yan covered her chest behind the screen, her expression couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

She didn't expect Gongzi to be so considerate, knowing she didn't have clothes after transforming, and even specially helped her craft a few more...

No!

She clearly had a red short skirt before transforming, how could she not have suitable clothes to wear?!

Could it be that what Xiao Chen crafted for her were the underpants she needed to wear underneath?!

As these thoughts surfaced, Cai Yan, who was half a beat slow to react, finally came to her senses at this moment.

And just as her thoughts turned, thinking it impossible.

That red inner armor, which Xiao Chen had finished upgrading, along with a few other items of clothing, also fell behind the screen.

Almost without any further thought.

The moment she received the clothes, Cai Yan immediately put on the inner armor, which lessened the awkwardness in her heart a little.

"This quality... it actually reached Tian Ji Extreme Grade?!"

Feeling this inner armor transform as if undergoing a metamorphosis, Cai Yan's body also trembled violently at this moment.

A touch of emotion even welled up in her eyes.

She had spent decades finding the right materials to forge this inner armor.

She originally thought this inner armor was going to be scrapped due to the erosion of the strange fire.

She didn't expect Xiao Chen not only to help her repair it but also to upgrade its quality along the way.

Such selfless dedication, coupled with the previous assistance, was truly a kindness heavier than the heavens!

Feeling the temperature of Xiao Chen seemingly lingering on the inner armor, Cai Yan's usually cold and indifferent heart was also warmed.

"In this lifetime... I absolutely cannot let Gongzi down!"

After secretly making a vow in her heart, Cai Yan then began to examine the other items of clothing.

Looking around.

The most noticeable items were the two pairs of high-heeled shoes, exquisitely crafted like works of art, which made Cai Yan fall in love with them at first sight.

And in her perception, the size of these shoes matched her feet.

Thinking about it, after her snake tail transformed into legs, Young Master Xiao must have secretly observed them.

Thinking of this...

A slight curve lifted the corner of Cai Yan's mouth; her transformed legs were quite perfect, and she felt very proud that they could attract Xiao Chen.

But the next moment.

When she saw the other items, the expression on Cai Yan's face instantly froze.

The shyness that had just begun to fade away surged back at this moment, and her face turned slightly red.

"These are... Human Race underpants?!"

Looking at the lace underpants she held, the area that could be covered in the front was not even as big as her palm.

The most crucial thing was that this item was semi-transparent, and a snake-shaped pattern was embroidered on it, making Cai Yan's expression incredibly vivid.

Are Human Race underpants all this fancy?

Wearing such a semi-transparent item is like not wearing anything at all?!

"Gongzi, are you... are you sure these can be worn?"

Looking at the lace underpants in her hand, Cai Yan's expression changed for a moment before she finally couldn't help but ask.

She was wearing a skirt, and if she wore this thing as well.

What if her movements during a fight were too intense, wouldn't she be exposed on the spot?

Xiao Chen was slightly startled upon hearing this, and immediately realized, quickly opening his mouth to explain.

"Ahem, that lace underpants fabric is very soft and skin-friendly, very suitable for girls to wear underneath, and then just wear safety shorts outside."

"Wear them underneath, and then wear safety shorts?"

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cai Yan couldn't help but be startled again.

Her gaze turned to the other few pairs of square-shaped underpants; these must be the safety shorts Xiao Chen mentioned, right?

They looked like they wouldn't expose anything, indeed giving a very safe feeling.

But she had another question...

Why wear these semi-transparent ones underneath? Wouldn't it be better to just wear these safety underpants directly?

Wearing this thing underneath, which can't be seen by others, feels like farting after taking off your pants – completely redundant.

Could it be that Young Master Xiao gave her this item because he wanted her to wear it for him to see later?!

After thinking of this possibility, Cai Yan's body trembled violently.

"Cai Yan, do they not fit?"

Xiao Chen had no idea what Cai Yan was thinking at the moment; after sensing there was no movement behind the screen, he coughed lightly and couldn't help but ask.

However, there shouldn't be any issue with the fit, after all, this was after he used the appraisal function to determine Cai Yan's measurements.

Then he exchanged suitable items from the system store, which were absolutely the perfect and best proportion, close-fitting and skin-friendly.

He was still confident about this.

"Ah, no..."

Cai Yan, who was immersed in wild thoughts, was startled by Xiao Chen's question and blurted out without thinking.

"Gongzi, you gave me something like this, do you want me to wear it for you to see?"

After saying this sentence, Cai Yan immediately realized something was wrong and almost died of embarrassment behind the screen again.

Damn it!

What on earth is wrong with her today?!

How could such shameful and immodest words come out of her mouth?!

These were not words that a Snake-People Clan Queen should say; would Young Master Xiao misunderstand that she was outwardly cold but secretly a flirtatious woman who liked to seduce men?!

Not only was Cai Yan crying from her own foolishness, but even Xiao Chen was stunned upon hearing this.

Is the favorability increasing this rapidly?

Cai Yan actually wanted to wear lace underpants for him to see, was this something he could witness at this stage?

Damn it.

Happiness came too suddenly!

Should he accept it subtly, or play hard to get and then accept?

"This is difficult for me to answer, it's entirely up to Queen herself..."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen coughed lightly and replied very honestly.

This question...

Saying he didn't want to see would be too false.

Saying he really wanted to see would be too vulgar.

So, throwing the question back to Cai Yan to decide herself was the most correct emergency avoidance response.

"Gongzi, I'll go back and recover my cultivation first..."

Xiao Chen's words had just fallen, and Cai Yan completely couldn't hold back at this moment.

She rushed out of the room with the clothes, returning to her own room to stabilize her state of mind.

The strong wind that was stirred up along the way almost blew Xiao Chen away.

"Is this... shy?"

Xiao Chen quickly stabilized his figure, looking at the messy room, a slight curve couldn't help but lift the corner of his mouth.

It was hard to imagine... this terrifying Medusa Queen also had times when she was shy like a little girl.

As expected, even the coldest and most indifferent women have another side that the world doesn't know.

This is a good sign.

If the atmosphere between them was intimate enough, their feelings would naturally continue to heat up.

By then... wanting to take down this Medusa Queen doesn't seem like an impossible task either!

"It's just a pity, I didn't get to see Cai Yan wearing black silk; it seems I'll have to wait a bit longer to appreciate it."

After muttering with anticipation.

Xiao Chen suppressed the restlessness in his heart and then opened the system panel.

After resolving the issues of the Xiao Family's foundation and Cai Yan, it was time to improve his own cultivation.
