Chapter 160: Chapter 163: Magic Transformation

(Here’s the fourth update, seeking recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, all kinds of tickets!!)

——————————

Xiao Yi had no idea why Shen Xiaoxiao had called him out, and so he simply dressed as he usually did, donning his faded clothes that had been washed to the point of whiteness, looking like a little boy just in from the countryside.

In stark contrast, Shen Xiaoxiao seemed like a world apart, and this contrast gave those inside a considerable visual shock, especially since Shen Xiaoxiao appeared to be extremely affectionate towards Xiao Yi, constantly throwing seductive glances his way. This instantly left the male staff and male customers inside agape and stamping their feet in frustration, cursing with the typical utterance of sour grapes, "Heavens above, earth below, all the good cabbage has been hogged by pigs!"

Xiao Yi felt extremely uncomfortable under such scrutiny, or to be more precise, he disliked it. He had always preferred to keep a low profile. Such attention made him tense up, while Shen Xiaoxiao seemed completely oblivious to the stares, doing as she pleased. Even after noticing Xiao Yi’s nervousness under the scrutiny, she found it more amusing and teased him even more, repeatedly saying things that made Xiao Yi blush to the roots of his ears.

And as such, the number of people staring at them only increased.

Walking from the first floor of the mall to a shop on the second floor felt like an eternity for Xiao Yi, though it only took a few minutes. Every moment was almost torturous to endure, even more so than when he had lain in wait in the desert for three days and nights without food or water.

Finding relief when Shen Xiaoxiao finally put away her devilish smile and walked into a shop with a rare serious and stern expression, Xiao Yi let out a long sigh of relief.

"Miss, could you please get me these clothes? This one, this one, and this one."

After leisurely browsing around the store, Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi up and down to confirm his size, and then pointed to a few clothes on a shelf, speaking to the female attendant nearby.

"Are you really buying clothes?"

Upon hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s words, Xiao Yi finally understood her intention for coming and couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise, turning to look at her.

"Of course, when has Sister Shen ever not kept her word? I said I would buy you clothes, so I’m buying you clothes. Come on, try them on and see if they’re comfortable."

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world, took the matching set of clothes the attendant had brought down, and gave another glance at Xiao Yi before handing them over to him.

"Sister Shen, there’s no need, I have my own clothes to wear, no need to buy new ones."

Xiao Yi quickly waved his hands in refusal. He had glanced over the price tags briefly; these few pieces of clothing would cost more than thirty thousand yuan. Although he knew Shen Xiaoxiao certainly wouldn’t care about the money, he felt there was no need to waste it. He wasn’t without clothes, and besides, these clothes were too formal and flashy for his liking, and not his style at all.

"If I tell you to try them on, just try them on. What’s with all the fuss? Are you looking down on your sister or what?"

Shen Xiaoxiao glared at him.

"I..."

Xiao Yi wanted to say more, but seeing the expression on Shen Xiaoxiao’s face, he had no choice but to bravely head toward the fitting room ahead.

"With those rags you call clothes, do you really think you can meet people dressed like that? Would that annoying ghost believe you’re someone’s boyfriend? As if they’re idiots, seriously."

Watching Xiao Yi obediently enter the fitting room, Shen Xiaoxiao muttered quietly to herself.

Xiao Yi, who had just walked a few steps, didn’t catch Shen Xiaoxiao’s quiet muttering clearly; he only heard something about a boyfriend and couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, turning his head and asking in confusion, "Sister Shen, what did you say?"

"Nothing, it’s none of your business. Just go try on the clothes quickly."

Shen Xiaoxiao raised her head with an unchanged expression and waved her hand dismissively.

"Oh."

Upon hearing it wasn’t calling him, Xiao Yi continued towards the fitting room.

Wonder what the effect will be when he puts them on?

Isn’t this little guy a bit too green? Will that annoying ghost buy it?

As she watched Xiao Yi enter the fitting room, a trace of worry appeared on Shen Xiaoxiao’s face.

Forget it, whatever. Believe it or not, hmph, in the end, what I say goes. If they doubt, I’ll stick to my story to death. At most, they’ll say I have peculiar taste.

After mulling over it worriedly for a while, Shen Xiaoxiao bit her lip, snorted through her nose, flung her hand, and threw those thoughts out of her head. Her gaze then turned somewhat expectant as she looked towards the fitting room door, her heart filled with an eager desire to see the effect of the clothes she had chosen on that little guy.

"Click!"

Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t have to wait too long. In less than three minutes, she heard the sound of the fitting room door being pushed open and Xiao Yi walked out, wearing the clothes she had picked out, except for his underwear.

"Thump!"

Seeing Xiao Yi come out of the fitting room dressed and looking a bit awkward, Shen Xiaoxiao was utterly stunned. Her eyes glazed over, and the bag she was holding fell to the ground. Was this really that little guy before her?

The suit seemed to be tailor-made for Xiao Yi. Although he was a bit slim, his muscles and height were in perfect proportion. Dressed in that outfit, he looked like he had transformed into someone else altogether, exuding a refined yet aloof temperament. Even his unnatural facial expression couldn’t hide his overall charisma.

The female clerks nearby, as well as the customers shopping for clothes, were also dumbstruck at the sight of Xiao Yi walking out of the fitting room. Each one of them stared in disbelief; could this really be the same small-town bumpkin they had mentally scoffed at just a moment ago? How did he look so different? Was there a Grand Magician here performing an advanced ’transform a person’ act?

Shen Xiaoxiao thought she was seeing things, vigorously rubbing her eyes, then staring hard at Xiao Yi again. No mistake, it was indeed that little guy—nose, face, and that easily embarrassed but adorable look—undoubtedly the same little guy! (To be continued.
