Chapter 117 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

“Pure, pure?” Bai Lian gazed at Mu Xing He with a teasing look, feeling suddenly apprehensive. Despite her indulgence in risque games, she was actually quite similar to the majority of online users. She had a wealth of theoretical knowledge but minimal practical experience. In offline interactions, she would only end up being teased and rendered embarrassed. Being an otaku, she was rather introverted and would blush for a long time when teased by others online, let alone attracting attention walking into an adult store. She just couldn’t understand why Mu Xing He, upon seeing her like this, had that look as if she had seen through something? Was it because she hadn't done something right? Was there a flaw that Mu Xing He had seen through? "I-I haven't seen these things," she cautiously countered. "Being shy is normal, isn't it?" Indeed, it was very normal, especially since Bai Lian was known as the White Lotus Fairy. This title had been spread by the few who had seen her, indicating the impression she gave to people. But if she were to transpose her past identity, it would be very abnormal. Because, in her past life, Bai Lian was very indulgent, not just in various positions but also skilled in using various toys. She could even make others lose their minds just with toys alone. Thinking of this, Mu Xing He's gaze turned somewhat deep. Just as Bai Lian said, she used to be a pure-hearted Taoist, vowing to devote herself entirely to the pursuit of the great way, never considering such impure things. But meeting Bai Lian had changed her life. She could no longer look up at the stars in peace, her mind filled with nothing but Bai Lian's figure, and her every time she closed her eyes, all she could see was Bai Lian's face. Her inner demon had never disappeared. Her master always taught her the principles of tranquility and inaction, the natural laws of the Tao. She thought she would accept such an outcome. But seeing Bai Lian now in such an innocent-looking state, she suddenly felt a little disgusted. Why? Why could Bai Lian pull her into the mire and yet appear so pure and flawless herself? Why was it that after doing all those things, Bai Lian could just change her gender, change her identity, and leave behind her past to become an object of everyone's affection, while she had to endure the torment of those memories? Bai Lian's current pristine appearance was truly nauseating! Bai Lian should be the one she took advantage of, defiled, gradually tarnishing that pure exterior to reveal her inherently impure nature, and then tenderly partake in joy underneath her with tears in her eyes! "Senior Sister Mu, maybe we should change the topic," Bai Lian hurriedly changed the subject when she saw Mu Xing He's silence. Mu Xing He's current appearance made her feel an unprecedented sense of crisis. As if she might be pinned down in bed the next second and devoured completely. In the game, Mu Xing He was the gentle, yet aloof beauty. How had she changed so much in reality? She even felt that her change was much greater than that of the other female leads. Mu Xing He came back to her senses and looked at Bai Lian with a slightly timid look, smiling gently. "Alright, there seems to be a place selling magic clothing over there. Shall we go and take a look?" "Coincidentally, I also want to buy a few new clothes." "White Junior Sister, why are you still wearing ordinary clothes?" "Hey, I don't usually go out much, so I don't need such good clothes," Bai Lian waved her hand. "Actually, these regular clothes are quite nice." Mu Xing He took a look and found that not only were Bai Lian's clothes just ordinary, but they were also quite loose and didn't seem to fit her at all, as if she was deliberately hiding something. "Although you don't usually need magic clothing at the sect, this trip to Xia Du may encounter the demonic cult, so it's more appropriate for Junior Sister to buy a piece of magic clothing for protection," she said. Bai Lian blinked, feeling that Mu Xing He's words made sense. She was no longer the White Lian who could resurrect in the game, and she definitely had to be extremely careful about her safety. Otherwise, she might very well perish before becoming extraordinary. In fact, not duo cultivation could lead to death, with an equipment slot to boot. Among them, the magic clothing was one of the most important components. Most common magic clothing on the market was woven from spirit silkworm silk and bore various array inscriptions on the fabric, designed to resist magical spells and reduce the impact of divine attacks. For instance, the magic clothing she wore in the game, the Crane Shadow Sky Blue. In addition to having a very high defense, it also had effects such as flight and reinforcement, making it a great treasure for both staying at home and traveling. Thinking about it, her Crane Shadow Sky Blue was given to her by Leng Ning Shuang as a reward for completing an important sect mission. And if she wasn't mistaken, that set of magic clothing seemed to be worn by Leng Ning Shuang now. So, was she not wearing Leng Ning Shuang's original in the game? Bai Lian quickly shook her head, flinging the chaotic thoughts from her mind. If Leng Ning Shuang perceived such things, she would surely be caught and turned into a ball of yarn! Better to deal with the situation with Mu Xing He here and now. "Senior Sister Mu is right. Now that we're out and about, it's indeed necessary to have a piece of magic clothing," she nodded. So, the two of them headed straight to the shop not far ahead where magic clothing was being sold. As they entered the store, Bai Lian was overwhelmed by the sight inside. As a homebody, she had always used Taobao for buying clothes, and even then, she would only choose the popular ones that would end up clashing with others' outfits multiple times a day. Even in the game, the only thing she saw were digital interface menus. She would just click the clothes in the original illustration and they would appear in her inventory. To shop in a physical store like this was, strictly speaking, her first time. Especially with the various magic clothing suspended in spiritual auras, it was truly dazzling to her. What's more, the appearance of two beautiful women naturally caught the attention of others in the store. Before she could come to her senses, a cute salesgirl came up to them. She had a professional smile on her face, but her gaze at Bai Lian was filled with amazement. As the future top salesperson of the Immortal Clothing Pavilion, her appearance was exceptional, but still paled in comparison to the two women in front of her. Especially this lady who, even in loose clothes, couldn't hide her captivating stature. To her well-seasoned eyes, she was definitely a well-endowed lady disguising herself in loose clothing. Of course, regardless of how stunning she was, she still had to sell clothes. From their attire, it seemed that these two women were at least core disciples, even if they were not from the upper echelons of their sect. These novice disciples from sects were the best to make money from. And the reason she approached Bai Lian first was purely because she looked more gullible. As for Mu Xing He, her gaze had been fixed on Bai Lian from the start, apparently showing no interest in magic clothing. But that didn't mean Mu Xing He had no economic value. On the contrary, the salesgirl knew that people like Mu Xing He, though uninterested in magic clothing, were very interested in the clothing their partners wore. So, as long as she could deal with Bai Lian, her sales performance would undoubtedly be stable! "Ladies, do you have any magic clothing in mind? We're currently having a promotion at the Immortal Clothing Pavilion, and you can enjoy discounts," the sweet voice of the salesgirl made Bai Lian feel dizzy. Her social anxiety was about to explode. These weren’t characters she was familiar with. These were complete strangers! And to start off with a standard sales pitch had caught her off guard. Wasn't this the cultivation world? Where were your cultivation and rest? Wasn't this a bit too common! In this situation, she was completely ignorant of how to respond, as if her mind had turned into pudding, and she was unconsciously moving forward. "... or you might like this one. Although its defense isn't outstanding, the fabric becomes transparent as spiritual power is consumed, and it also includes a set of three-point hollowed-out lingerie, which promotes ambiguity without being revealing, significantly enhancing the affairs between partners—" "Miss, what are you doing over there? The area over there is for men's magic clothing!" In the sweet voice of the salesgirl, Bai Lian suddenly woke up. She turned around and saw the bewildered shop assistant, as well as the smiling Mu Xing He. "Junior Sister, I think the set of magic clothing this lady just introduced is quite good. What do you think?"
