Chapter 82: Strange Attire in a Different World
============================================================
The sisters had also soaked back into the pool. After completing their cultivation, taking a dip had become routine for Ye Qinghan.
For Li Shiyu, however, this was her first time. Between switching cultivation techniques and rebuilding her foundation these past days, immersing herself in the pool water now felt like being reborn!
"Mmm~"
A soft moan escaped her lips. Ye Qinghan glanced back at Li Shiyao's flushed, delicate face. The blush of shyness now spread across her cheeks, adding an alluring, married-woman charm.
"What? Is it that pleasurable?"
"Senior Sister… please don't tease Shiyu…"
Ye Qinghan had also noticed that since their return, the pool water's efficacy had slightly increased. However, as a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the benefits were now negligible for her.
As for Su Cheng, he hadn't noticed any difference at all…
But for Shi Yao right now, it was incredibly stimulating. She felt like she'd jumped into an ocean of popping candy, her whole body crackling and popping!
But the sensation lasted only a moment. She too was now a Foundation Establishment cultivator! Equally terrifying!
"Senior Sister, what's that room for?"
"Master didn't warn us about it, so it should be safe. Why not go in and see for yourself?"
"Is that okay?" Li Shiyu now felt a hint of awe toward Su Cheng, especially now that she herself was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. She couldn't help but think that her past attempt to assassinate their Master was utterly laughable…
Ye Qinghan detected Shiyu's apprehension and felt a flicker of satisfaction—this girl had finally developed some respect.
Still, Ye Qinghan hoped her respect came from the heart, not merely fear of the master's power.
"Unless the Master specifically forbids it, there's nowhere in Lingxian Hall we can't go—except the Master's private quarters."
Li Shiyu nodded thoughtfully, following Ye Qinghan into the adjacent sauna room.
As soon as the door opened, a wave of white mist washed over them. Ye Qinghan felt no fear—with the Master right outside, what could possibly go wrong?
"Shiyao, come on, let's go in and take a look."
As they stepped inside, Ye Qinghan quickly noticed the room's peculiarity. Not only was the temperature extremely high, but the white mist wasn't water vapor at all—it was gaseous spiritual essence!
"This is most likely a training room Master prepared for us sisters. But what's the harm in trying it out to see what wonders it holds?"
Ye Qinghan didn't fuss over the location; she sat down on the floor and began circulating her cultivation technique. Li Shiyu followed suit.
After just one Great Circulation Cycle, they exchanged glances. Sure enough!
"Well? Senior Sister guessed right, didn't she?"
"Yes, Senior Sister! This also has beautifying effects. Shiyuo feels her skin has improved! It's firmer and more elastic!"
Li Shiyu said, running her fingers over her fair arm. The texture felt surprisingly smooth!
"Um… I mean, this technique enhances physical resilience. The gaseous spiritual essence seems easier for the body to absorb."
Ye Qinghan made her excuses while secretly admiring Li Shiyu's skin—it truly had improved…
After soaking for a while, practicing cultivation for a bit, and playing around some more, the two changed into fresh clothes and headed out.
Li Shiyao also donned the rare Shadow-Shimmering Dress. Compared to Ye Qinghan's Glass Silk Water-Sleeve Dress, Dadao's skirt exuded a distinct aura of a devoted wife.
"Wow! Senior Sister! Look at Shiyu!"
"Alright, alright, I see it. Go show it to Master quickly—he loves seeing this!"
Li Shiyu was obedient as ever. She changed into the skirt and immediately ran to Su Cheng, begging for compliments!
Faced with his second direct disciple's enthusiasm, Su Cheng ruffled her golden hair. "Shiyao looks truly beautiful. Truly worthy of being my second disciple."
Ye Qinghan, however, wasn't wearing the Glass Silk Water-Sleeve Dress. Mainly because she'd found a peculiar garment among the robes Master had given her…
"Could this be… what Master referred to as silk stockings?"
Ye Qinghan examined it closely, recalling her master's words from days past…
All these garments were exchanged by Su Cheng through the system. Compared to those elixirs and potions, mere clothing didn't cost many system points. So without even glancing at them, he placed an order for the entire page, letting his two disciples pick whatever they liked.
The ones they didn't like, Su Cheng would exchange back for system points. Though there was a price difference, it wasn't much, and Su Cheng didn't mind.
As long as his two little darlings were pleased, Su Cheng was satisfied.
However, the system's offerings weren't limited to items from this world. Occasionally, garments from other realms would slip in among them…
Take the outfit before Ye Qinghan, for instance. In this world, it was undeniably a bit too avant-garde.
High heels, a pencil skirt, a white blouse paired with black stockings, and even a pair of square frames without lenses…
Ye Qinghan didn't mind. If her master liked it, she didn't care. Though it was a bit strange, it was still way better than her nightgown.
【Holy crap? Qinghan? Where the hell did you get stockings? Wait! I mean… this…】
"Master? Don't you think Qinghan looks nice?"
Ye Qinghan could clearly feel her master's gaze fixed on her legs. While she'd prefer him looking into her eyes, it didn't really matter! At least he was looking at her!
"Well… Qinghan, what about the bracelet I gave you…"
Ye Qinghan pouted. Hmph, Master, you just stick to your stubborn ways!
Rolling up her shirt sleeves, the Lust-Suppressing Bracelet remained securely fastened around her wrist.
"Qinghan is wearing it. Master, do you dislike this outfit? Qinghan thought you prepared it especially for me…"
"Er… it was prepared for you…"
【Could I possibly prepare something like this for you? Next time I buy clothes for Qinghan, I'll have to be extra careful. This thing could easily lead to mistakes!】
Ye Qinghan heard this and couldn't believe it.
"It's quite a unique style. Qinghan really likes this kind of design. Where did you get it, Master?"
"At… if Qinghan likes it…"
"Then thank you, Master~"
【Dammit, you've got me wrapped around your finger! Go ahead and play with me! You'll wear me out sooner or later!】
Ye Qinghan turned her back, sticking out her little tongue, thinking her Master was just so adorable~
It must be said, Ye Qinghan seemed born to be a clothes hanger. Long legs, a slender waist—every ounce of flesh was in the right place, not an inch too much, not a gram too little. Whatever she wore looked tailor-made.
"Senior Sister, this outfit is gorgeous! Senior Sister, what's that on your leg?" Li Shiyu spoke, her hand already reaching out to touch Ye Qinghan's thigh…
She didn't hesitate for a second, touching it as if petting a kitten…
[Shiyu, do you know how many men envy you?]
Ye Qinghan didn't mind. Both Li Shiyu and their Master were the timid type—they'd blush even bathing with their senior sister.
"Master, Shiyu wants to wear this dress out. Is that okay? Your disciple wants to show the elders her new dress."
"Since I gave it to you, of course you can wear it out." Su Cheng felt Shiyu was being overly cautious, but Ye Qinghan had been the same when he first arrived. It should pass in time.
【Master does hope you and Qinghan wear more in Lingxian Hall. Consider Master's health a little.】
【You two stay cool, but your master keeps overheating!】
"But remember, Shiyu, I gave you these treasures not for you to flaunt. You must know your limits."
"Shiyao will remember Master's teachings. My lips are sealed!"
