Chapter 833: Chapter 834: Selection and Purchase

"A whole bunch of people coming to browse through a department store..."

Feng Yuan commented somewhat speechlessly, while Zhong Liuyan twirled around and asked Pei Yu,

"What do you think of my outfit~"

Bai You tugged at Chen Xin and inquired,

"What do you think about that store over there?"

"Evening gowns? That’s a bit too..."

"According to your plan, aren’t we supposed to attend various evening banquets next?"

Bai You stated calmly, while Chen Xin said somewhat awkwardly,

"You make it sound like..."

"A banquet? I remember there’s a store that makes particularly nice evening gowns~"

Seemingly hearing something interesting, Zhong Liuyan dragged Chen Xin and Bai You toward the elevator. Qi Chen glanced at Dou Yanlan and queried,

"Not interested?"

After a look at Qi Chen, Dou Yanlan laughed and retorted,

"Do you think I’m interested in banquets? That’s just a game for the upper class."

"But..."

"Hey, won’t you say something?"

Qi Chen nudged Feng Yuan, who was scrutinizing the snacks nearby, and after a moment’s hesitation, Feng Yuan stated,

"What’s there to say? A Wolf God’s Robe should do the trick, no big deal."

"Wolf God’s Robe..."

Qi Chen was somewhat at a loss for words; in that kind of setting, while everyone else would be dressed up in formal evening wear, they would show up in ritual robes? They’d likely draw all the eyes in the room.

"What’s the issue? It’s at least something that was fashionable once."

Feng Yuan argued nonchalantly. In the Dynasty Era, priests from various temples were truly high-ranking individuals. Even today, members of the Divine Beast Hall took pride in various ritual robes; therefore, it wouldn’t really be a problem to wear a ritual robe to so-called banquets.

"But this..."

Qi Chen didn’t know how to rebut; he’d never been to any banquets, only seen on television and in videos that the guests were all dressed in formal attire and evening gowns. Dou Yanlan smiled and commented,

"Don’t worry about it, we’re not going to attend those banquets anytime soon, right?"

"That’s not necessarily true."

Feng Yuan glanced over at Zhong Liuyan and asserted that if he wasn’t mistaken, when Zhong Liuyan graduated, there would surely be a celebration banquet inviting their entire class and teachers to attend. Dou Yanlan followed Feng Yuan’s gaze and realized,

"Indeed, even if we should consider her feelings, we still have to make an attempt at connecting."

"Tch! I hate this world of social obligations."

Feng Yuan expressed his dissatisfaction, while Qi Chen looked at him perplexedly and commented,

"When have you ever truly cared about someone else’s feelings?"

"Well, that’s..."

After trying to remember, Feng Yuan suddenly pointed to an ice cream shop nearby and announced,

"I’m going to grab an ice cream. Wait for me here."

"Hey!"

"That’s really low."

Looking at the gowns in the store, Veronia said disdainfully. Noticing Agunas’s gaze, Veronia huffed and dove into the Mirror Realm, leaving everyone guessing what she was up to next. Agunas shook his tail somewhat speechlessly, stating,

"I actually agree with you... but never mind, the gowns here aren’t that bad."

Zhong Liuyan was explaining the differences between the evening gowns to Bai You and Chen Xin; it was evident that she must have learned a lot over winter break, otherwise she wouldn’t have been so clear about these things given her usual habits.

"I can’t see any difference..."

Qi Chen rubbed the evening dress with some headache, although Zhong Liuyan had listed a bunch of terms he didn’t quite understand, he still couldn’t match them with the dress in his hand. To him, they all seemed identical, Dou Yanlan glanced at the evening dresses here and said,

"The differences are there, be it in the detail work or the fabric quality, but..."

"Studying how to identify such things at a glance is..."

Dou Yanlan really couldn’t comprehend what those people were thinking. Feng Yuan casually draped the outer robe of the Wolf God’s Robe over himself and said,

"Look, do I look like one of those big shots?"

"Like a fool..."

Watching Feng Yuan wearing casual clothes underneath the thick Wolf God’s Robe, Qi Chen rolled his eyes and responded, carelessly taking off the Wolf God’s Robe. Feng Yuan sneered dismissively,

"Your level isn’t good, you can’t even see it."

"Normal people don’t dress as well as you! Are you hot or cold dressed like that!"

Qi Chen replied speechlessly. Noticing the commotion over here, the trio of Zhong Liuyan all looked in this direction. At the moment, there was also a woman in the shop, slowly selecting evening dresses with a shop assistant. Startled by the shout, the woman frowned slightly, showing a brief sign of discontent before quickly returning to calm. Seeing this, the shop assistant hurriedly asked another employee to go over and ask them to keep their voices down.

"Excuse me, could you please lower your voices, so as not to disturb others?"

A female employee in a uniform trotted over, bowed to Qi Chen, and whispered, after which Qi Chen, slightly shocked and a bit embarrassed, said,

"Sorry."

"No problem, do you need any help?"

Since Feng Yuan and the others hadn’t called for an attendant when they came in, the staff didn’t approach them proactively. This shop’s policy was that servers would neither come forward nor recommend products unless requested. Feng Yuan waved and said,

"No need, we’re just looking."

After a glance at the Wolf God’s Robe hanging on Feng Yuan’s arm, the employee bowed again and retreated to the counter. Qi Chen, somewhat puzzled, said,

"I didn’t expect them to respect the customers so much."

"Because those who come here aren’t ordinary people."

Feng Yuan glanced at the quiet corridor outside and explained. This shop was specially located in such a secluded place, clearly to avoid the attention of regular customers. If it weren’t for Zhong Liuyan leading the way, Feng Yuan probably wouldn’t even know there was a dress shop in this strange corner. And with word-of-mouth advertising, the shop’s customer base mostly consisted of people associated with high society.

As for those who stumbled in accidentally? It was no big deal as long as they weren’t too outrageous. Otherwise, what if someone on a whim decided to masquerade as a wealthy person? Dou Yanlan glanced at the Wolf God’s Robe on Feng Yuan’s arm and said,

"She must have recognized your status."

"What status?"

Feng Yuan was a bit puzzled, as he didn’t know of any special status that he held, other than being a high school student. What other identity of his could someone recognize at a glance?

"The real Divine Beast Ritual Robe is quite different from the counterfeit ones, and generally, no one dares to fake these things."

Dou Yanlan smiled and continued, in fact, no matter what, the Divine Beast Ritual Robe could also serve as a symbol of status, even more prestigious than the evening dresses in the shop. Expensive clothes might be imitated, but a Divine Beast Ritual Robe? If the Divine Beast is lenient, it might not care, but if it’s petty? Then wait for it to come knocking on your door for a chat.

Not to mention Feng Yuan was wearing the White Wolf Deity’s Ritual Robe. As a powerful Divine Beast that had suddenly appeared before people, its Ritual Robe design might not be widely known, but its aura was much stronger than most Divine Beast Ritual Robes, real or fake at a glance. Can’t be helped, Feng Yuan had mingled some of the White Wolf Deity’s fur into the making of the Wolf God’s Robe; ordinary Divine Beast Ritual Robes couldn’t afford such luxury.

"That’s why I say, ordinary dresses can’t compare to Ritual Robes."

Feng Yuan said proudly, while Qi Chen looked at him speechlessly. Only this guy would dare to say such a thing, others like Wu Feng didn’t have Divine Beast Ritual Robes, and he certainly couldn’t expect the Vermilion Bird to follow him around like a pet, could he? The Vermilion Bird would probably squash him.

"See, I told you it suits you perfectly."

"That’s true, unexpectedly."

"What are you guys doing?"

Feng Yuan looked incredulously at Zhong Liuyan, who was holding a suit and gesturing behind his back, she lifted the suit in her hands and smiled,

"Of course we’re looking for something that suits you."

"Hey, did you see Pei Yu’s expression?"

Feng Yuan stepped back a few paces, he hadn’t been paying attention to what was going on behind him while talking to Qi Chen and the others, but now, startled by Zhong Liuyan, he noticed Pei Yu next to him, looking at himself full of jealousy. Feng Yuan hurriedly stepped back a few more paces and waved his hand to summon a few lemons to rotate around Pei Yu.

Pei Yu scoffed and grabbed a lemon to throw at Feng Yuan. Watching Feng Yuan catch the lemon and toss it back, Agunas helplessly used telekinesis to confiscate all the lemons and said,

"Aren’t you afraid of paying a hefty price for causing a scene here?"

Agunas wasn’t joking – none of the clothes in this shop were cheap, and if lemons hit them, compensation would be necessary. If it happened with several pieces, everyone but Feng Yuan would likely feel the headache.
