The decoration in the clothing store was not bad, but it was currently afternoon and there were not many customers. With only an older-looking shopkeeper tidying up the clothes, it felt quite deserted.
But, as soon as Ye Anping came in, it became lively.
After he entered the store, he went straight to the racks of clothes and picked out clothes for Feng Yu Die according to his usual preferences and aesthetics.
The lady owner followed him closely, and whenever he picked up a piece of clothing, she would ramble on about the fabric and craftsmanship. "Young master, this jacket is made of dragon rust silk. If you wear it..."
"I'll take it."
"Young master, these underpants are made of real silk. They are comfortable to wear close to your body and absorb sweat..."
"I'll take them."
...
A moment later, Ye Anping walked back to the two girls plus Xiao Tian, who were standing frozen at the door, holding a large pile of clothes. He threw the clothes in Feng Yu Die's arms. "Sister Feng, go try them on."
?
In an instant, a question mark popped up above everyone's heads, including the lady owner.
Feng Yu Die tilted her head in confusion. "These are men's clothes."
"Well, I got a size smaller than what I'm wearing. It should fit you perfectly."
Feng Yu Die looked down at the clothes in her arms, hesitated for a moment, then directly threw them back.
She frowned and shook her head. "I'm not wearing this!"
?
Ye Anping frowned in confusion.
-- Feng Yu Die was actually reluctant to wear men's clothing?
He figured that with her personality, there would be no need to explain anything and she would just take the clothes and put them on. But it looked like...
Then again, come to think of it-- Ye Anping recalled that Feng Yu Die had never dressed as a man in the game.
The only time she disguised herself as a man was during the ***Imperial*** Sect incident when she wore eunuch attire to secretly infiltrate the *Immortal Palace* by pretending to be a eunuch.
Xiao Tian also flew to Ye Anping at this time and picked up on Feng Yu Die's words. *"Yeah! Yu Die is a girl, how can you make her wear men's clothes?"*
Yu Die couldn't wear men's clothing. She was obviously not very bright, and if she wore men's clothing once and fell in love with it, then she and Master Ye would never be together in this lifetime.
After a pause, Ye Anping asked in a firm voice. "You don't want to wear it?"
"No way!" Feng Yu Die raised her head and put her hands on her hips. "My master said that all men are bad. If I wear men's clothing, won't I become a bad person too?"
?
What the hell...
Taken by surprise, Ye Anping couldn't follow her reasoning and didn't know how to respond to her statement.
"..."
Seeing Ye Anping's frown, Feng Yu Die held her chin, thinking for a while. She suddenly realized that Ye Anping had helped her gain a lot of spirit stones, and feeling that perhaps her words were too biased, she quickly added with a smile, "However, Young Master Ye, you are not as bad as my master said. Hehe..."
?
Ye Anping didn't let her continue speaking and quickly interrupted her. "You really won't wear it?"
"I really won't!" Feng Yu Die denied it once again. Then, she looked at Xiao Yunluo who was not participating in their conversation at all, and suggested, "How about we go to a women's clothing store and you help me pick out some items that Sister Pei likes? I'll give them to her later. Since Sister Xiao is here, I can buy something more expensive."
"..."
Ye Anping had an odd look when he heard this. He had to admit that there were times when he really couldn't keep up with Feng Yu Die's thought process. The last time she proposed to form Pei Lianxue's harem together, it was already appalling, and now she actually used Xiao Yunluo as her membership card.
But if he thought about it, it seemed that Xiao Yunluo's discount value was higher than Sister Bai's.
Ye Anping also felt a little tempted, but then he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been inexplicably led astray by this rascal again.
After a moment of silence, he decided to bait her, and showing a somewhat regretful expression, he shook his head. "Well, too bad. I think my sister would find you quite attractive in this outfit."
!
"Huh?" Feng Yu Die froze as her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked, "Young Master Ye, did you agree?"
*Agree to be with you and my sister? Keep dreaming*... Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her and said, "I was just asking you if you want to wear those."
"If Sister Pei likes it, of course I will wear it!!"
With that said, Feng Yu Die snatched the clothes back from Ye Anping, rushed into the store behind the screen specially used as a fitting room, and proceeded to change clothes.
Ye Anping was speechless, but after all, he was the one who made her put them on. After returning to the ***Black Star*** Sect, he had to ask his sister to praise her a little.
However, perhaps because it was a men's clothing store, the dressing screen was not as thick as those in women's clothing stores. He could vaguely see a graceful silhouette changing clothes behind the paper screen.
Hazy and elusive, making one eager for it to appear.
Long hair reaching down to the willow-like slender waist...
At first glance, it looked kind of sexy, but when he thought the shadow belonged to Feng Yu Die, the word "sexy" suddenly disappeared, leaving him with a dark face.
Fortunately, Xiao Yunluo spoke up and snapped him out of that strange mood. "Ye Anping, what are you trying to do? Why make her dress in men's clothing? Is there something she must do disguised as a man?"
Ye Anping remained silent for a moment. Feeling that she had something on her mind, he signaled with his eyes toward the lady owner, who was waiting nearby. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Yunluo understood, took out her identity badge, and asked the lady owner to retreat outside the store.
"Ma'am, please step out for a moment. I need to talk to this young man."
Seeing it was the token of the ***Black Star*** Sect's Young Lady, the lady owner didn't say anything, just hurried outside the store and closed the door behind her.
Xiao Yunluo then took out some talismans to protect against prying eyes and eavesdropping and stuck them on the door, then asked in a low voice. "It's not like you're ever acting on impulse or curiosity. Didn't you handle the ***Dragon House*** incident with her and Lianxue? So, I thought you must be preparing something again."
Ye Anping looked at those talismans and thought that this girl had finally grown up too. At least she was more cautious than a year ago. Feeling relieved, he answered with a smile. "Sister Xiao, what are you trying to say?"
"It's just..." Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips, then put her hands on her hips, saying, "You didn't say anything to me at that time and kept me in the dark. Although my sword skills are not as good as Sister Feng and Lianxue's, if it's just about cross-dressing as a man, you don't have to feel embarrassed. If you need my help, just ask! As long as it's something I can do and doesn't violate the moral principles of the immortality path, I will definitely agree!"
Was it because she's always been marginalized that she felt inferior?
Ye Anping reached out and patted her head.
"Ah..." Xiao Yunluo blushed, wanting to push his hand away but was somehow reluctant to do it. She nervously questioned him. "What... what are you doing...?"
"Actually, there is something I need to ask your help for, Sister Xiao."
"Really?" Xiao Yunluo's eyes lit up. "What is it?"
"Sister Xiao, could you ask the lady owner later to give me a 20-30% discount?"
"..."
Xiao Yunluo was dumbfounded. She slapped his hand away from her head and hammered his chest. "Ye Anping!!"
"Just kidding..."
Ye Anping waved his hand to beg for mercy and laughed. "Sister Xiao, you are not stupid, and you've read countless books since childhood. You are knowledgeable, but you can't help with this matter."
"Why not?"
"There are too many people who could recognize your face."
"Oh, I see..." Xiao Yunluo lowered her head. "But if there is anything I can help with in the future, feel free to ask! For Lianxue's sake, I won't refuse you."
"Sure..."
Ye Anping nodded and suddenly caught sight of Feng Yu Die poking her head out from behind the screen, looking at him and Xiao Yunluo with a sly smile. It seemed that she had changed her clothes a long time ago, but she kept peeking without a sound while Xiao Tian was kicking her head, making a ruckus. *"Yu Die! Don't just stand there and watch!! Hurry up and join in!"*
Feng Yu Die ignored her and, seeing Ye Anping looking over, asked with a guilty expression, "Hehehe... Did I disturb you?"
Ye Anping was expressionless. "Have you changed? Come out and let me see."
"Right... Hehe!"
Feng Yu Die grinned, moved out from behind the screen, and stood tall with her back straight. Wearing a scholar's hat on her head, she slightly tossed aside her ponytail and stood there somewhat unnaturally, smiling foolishly as she asked, "... Sister Xiao, Master Ye, how is it? Does it look good?"
Xiao Yunluo looked at her with raised eyebrows because Feng Yu Die had a good complexion, and wearing a scholar uniform, she really looked like a soft, androgynous, jade-faced scholar.
But what made her feel really strange was-- why did it seem like Feng Yu Die looked more like a girl when she was wearing men's clothes than when she was wearing a skirt?
"Not bad, pretty good..."
Ye Anping lowered his head and glanced at Feng Yu Die's posture, and commented in his mind: *She looks like a sissy, but if she practices her posture and movements, she can get by with it.*
Then, he said, "My sister will also like it."
