34. Am I Just Playing Myself?
When a little girl in a dress that no one had ever seen before appeared in the room, everyone’s reaction was the same—”Wow!”
Don’t blame them for their big reaction. First, this style of one-piece long dress had a surprising sense of novelty. In addition, the girl wearing the dress was very pretty.
Not just her childish face, her constantly shifting eyes, her slightly pouting lips, but also the strange but unusually suitable cat ear headband on her head, and a tail that was moving under someone’s spiritual power.
If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t show any demonic beast aura, at first glance, one would even think she was a half-demon of the cat race.
Of course, this girl wearing this dress also had a subtle sense of incongruity. For example, this dress seemed a bit too big, and the sleeves were much longer than her arms. This was clearly not the design of a water sleeve. Doing this seemed a bit ill-fitting.
In contrast, if she were wearing a large-sized dress, the problem of the looseness of the chest should have been more obvious, but it was not at all. In fact, it was surprisingly well-fitting.
To use a phrase that none of the people present had ever heard of, this was called…
—Child’s face, woman’s body.
“Sister Chuyue, is she…?”
This girl’s appearance seemed to give people a very familiar feeling. Chun Lian always felt that she had seen this person somewhere, but if you really wanted to say who it was… she couldn’t react.
“Your little junior sister.”
Yan Chuyue, with her arm around this little girl who was showing a professional fake smile, smiled just as brightly. “She’s the little loli that your young lady accidentally saved. Isn’t she cute?”
Cute as a flower, rich as a lord.
Gong Yiling, hearing this, almost jumped up and knocked Yan Chuyue on the head to see what was inside.
It was something that could have been solved with a single pill, but Yan Chuyue had chosen not to.
She had forced her to change into this outfit, to play the role of a girl saved by Gong Yiling, to use this fake identity to interact with Chun Lian and the others.
Damn it!
I call you ‘disciple,’ but you call me ‘little junior sister.’
Was this reasonable? No, it wasn’t.
But the problem was, all the pills that could temporarily make her bigger were now in Yan Chuyue’s hands. Unless she went up and beat her up and then snatched the pills, there was no other way.
Therefore…
This was a naked coercion, a threat!
Where are the police? Where are the police?
She was going to expose this unjust conspiracy now—
“Greetings, Senior Sisters~ My name is Xian’er!”
“Pfft—”
Xuan Lingling, who had been wandering around with them these days, hadn’t noticed what was happening. When she heard these words, she almost spat out the water in her mouth.
And coincidentally, it all sprayed on the face of the real Xian’er opposite her.
This name was something Miss Gong had come up with on the spot. It was very in line with her current image and identity.
Of course, she also had to thank Xian’er for not being used to talking to anyone other than Gong Yiling and Yan Chuyue, so everyone didn’t even know what Xian’er’s name was.
However, her big reaction naturally aroused the confusion of the other few people.
“What’s wrong, Sister Xuan?”
“Ah, it’s just because she—”
“Lingling,” Yan Chuyue, although she didn’t expect Gong Yiling to suddenly come up with this name, still reacted immediately and said, “If the tea is hot, just let it cool for a while. A dragon’s mouth can also get burned.”
“Burned… burned my mouth?”
“And, help her wipe it, and then go to the alchemy room to find Yiling. She’s calling you over for something.”
The silly dragon, hearing this, stood there in a daze for a long time. It was Xian’er who, as if nothing had happened, looked up and asked the other “Xian’er” not far away with her eyes. After getting a positive answer, she took the initiative to stand up and dragged Xuan Lingling out of the room.
Now, the awkward situation caused by Miss Gong’s sudden flash of inspiration finally came to an end. The remaining few people couldn’t help but surround Gong Yiling and ask her questions.
This scene, Qiu Shui, who was standing at the door, couldn’t help but whisper in Yan Chuyue’s ear.
“It’s just a simple little thing. Why did Master have to make it so troublesome?”
“You don’t understand.” Yan Chuyue turned her head and said with a chuckle, “This is a straight man’s shame.”
A straight man’s shame?
This term, Qiu Shui really wanted to understand, but this kind of otherworldly vocabulary was too difficult for her to understand.
Here, as for Miss Gong’s “nightmare,” it had actually just begun.
Although she wouldn’t be seen as Gong Yiling, playing an non-existent little junior sister was really frustrating.
Her acting skills during this period were basically all used here, and the more she acted, the more she felt that something was not right.
Damn it, it would be better to just tell them the truth! What a rip-off!
After finally dealing with it until the evening, Yan Chuyue gave her a few pills, allowing her to finally regain her full vigor.
“I think you must have done it on purpose.”
Gong Yiling rubbed her face in the mirror and said impatiently, “Isn’t it just to see Qiu Shui in a maid outfit?”
“Mmm…” Yan Chuyue looked even more innocent. “I just wanted to see you wear it. And this was a trap you set for yourself. I didn’t do anything. I even helped you.”
“Meaning,” Gong Yiling turned around and mumbled, “I should thank you?”
“You’re welcome.” Yan Chuyue very calmly accepted this. “No need for a thank-you gift. This is what I should do.”
Hearing this, Gong Yiling carefully sized up Yan Chuyue from top to bottom, then said, “Who did you learn this from?”
“I’ve been acting with you every day. In terms of making up stories and being shameless, I’m not much worse than you.”
“Mmm-hmm.” Although Miss Gong felt a little unhappy, she couldn’t find anything to refute her words for a while and simply changed the subject.
“The matter of the old sect, how is it?”
Establishing a sect, Gong Yiling only had such an idea, but how to turn this idea into a real sect naturally couldn’t be done without Yan Chuyue’s planning.
Including what areas should be in the sect, what the purpose of each area was, how the inner and outer sects should be designed, which elders were responsible for which areas, whether a bounty board should be set up, and how the bounty quests should be designed.
All these series of problems had to have a clear statement before the old sect was established. This was also what Yan Chuyue had been focusing on and considering these days.
On the eve of the banquet, everything should have a definite number.
