33. A Pit of Your Own Digging
“This outfit…?”
After a long pause, Yan Chuyue turned to Gong Yiling and raised an eyebrow. “Where did it come from?”
“It’s…” Gong Yiling touched her nose, trying to figure out how to explain this.
But Qiu Shui, not knowing the situation, answered honestly, “Master gave it to me.”
Her words completely cut off Miss Gong’s attempt to find another excuse.
But in fact, no matter what Chuyue said, this style of clothing could only have come from Gong Yiling. No one else even knew how to make it.
—After all, this was her own novel. She had never had the strange idea of bringing maid outfits into a fantasy world.
“Yes, I brought it.” Gong Yiling, seeing that she couldn’t say anything else, simply waved her hand and admitted it. “I was just trying it out. Just trying.”
“Is that so?” Yan Chuyue crossed her arms and chuckled. “Then why didn’t you try it yourself? Are you afraid of trying and dying?”
“Pah, pah, pah! How can you curse someone like that!” Miss Gong turned around, pulled Qiu Shui over, and pushed her in front of Yan Chuyue. “Don’t you think it suits her?”
Qiu Shui, still confused, glanced up, her hand on the cat ear headband. “The clothes are a bit tight, and is this a hairpin or a ribbon? Why does it look like an animal’s ear—is this a cat ear?”
Alright, the more she said, the more a certain person’s strange fetish, no, this should be called a certain twisted romance, was exposed.
But this had nothing to do with her. It was clearly the system that had placed that maid outfit in a super conspicuous position, like a huge section on the main page of Taobao. And this outfit was even clearly marked with the two words “promotion.”
[Original price 3280, discounted price 1280]. With such a favorable price, how could she not buy it? As for who to wear it—if she said she didn’t care at all, would anyone believe her?
Others might not believe it, but Yan Chuyue certainly wouldn’t.
Miss Yan, hearing this, didn’t know what to say. She put her hands on her hips, pouted for a while, and then blew a breath.
And just then, Gong Yiling felt a subtle change in her body.
This change came suddenly, without any warning. But Miss Gong, upon realizing what had happened, immediately shuddered.
Her pill’s duration had inadvertently… expired, holy crap!
She said how she felt like she had something to do. It turned out she had forgotten to take her medicine!
But fortunately, there was no one else around now. Qiu Shui was still with her back to her, and only Chuyue could see what was happening, so—
Gong Yiling fumbled in her Universe Ring and suddenly thought of something even more fatal.
The pills… that bottle of pills, she had just told Chuyue yesterday to help her restock, which was why Chuyue was here at this time.
And she had no pills on her now.
At this time, she finally looked up at Yan Chuyue. The great divine physician, who had already sensed what had happened, was now, across from Qiu Shui, smiling and shaking the pill bottle in her hand at Gong Yiling.
Damn it!
This was it!
If it weren’t for what had just happened, it wouldn’t have been difficult to ask Chuyue for the pill bottle directly. But the problem was that this had just happened. A bad premonition immediately arose in Gong Yiling’s heart.
“Little Qiu Shui,” Yan Chuyue’s expression changed, and she patted her shoulder with a smile. “Your master hasn’t seen you in this outfit yet. Turn around and let your master take a look.”
“Huh?” Qiu Shui was taken aback, then a hint of anticipation arose in her heart. She didn’t know what her master would think of her.
—She had no idea that the person behind her’s face had already turned the color of a pig’s liver.
“Wait a minute!” Miss Gong immediately grabbed her shoulders. “Give me some time to prepare. You can turn around after I’m done.”
As she spoke, she frantically winked at Yan Chuyue, her meaning roughly—I was wrong, sister, quickly give me the pills.
However, Yan Chuyue not only ignored all her hints, but also very directly turned Qiu Shui back.
So what came into Qiu Shui’s eyes was a little girl who was even smaller than her.
This girl still had a childish look, and for some reason, her pretty face was flushed red, full of shyness. Her two small hands were also twisted together in a tangled manner, looking incredibly cute.
Of course, after a brief visual impact, a question was placed in front of her.
Who was this girl?
Although the answer was obvious, after all, she had been living with Gong Yiling for two years. She had been watching her during the years of a woman’s greatest change, so she naturally knew what Gong Yiling looked like two or three years ago.
But the problem was, people all grew up. Why did her master become smaller after just a few seconds?
“Well, Qiu Shui…” At this point, Miss Gong could only sigh helplessly. “Actually, the thing is—”
“Actually, it’s because when she was testing a medicine for me, it conflicted with her cultivation technique.” Yan Chuyue suddenly interrupted her. “There’s always a period of time every day when she becomes younger. It’ll be fine after a while.”
“Right?” At this point, Yan Chuyue even turned her head and looked at Gong Yiling. “There’s nothing to hide about this. Are you still worried about your master’s airs or what?”
Gong Yiling, hearing this, couldn’t help but give Yan Chuyue a thumbs up in her heart, almost wanting to say, Chuyue! My superman!
“Isn’t it embarrassing?” Gong Yiling immediately smiled and said, “But since Qiu Shui has seen it, so be it. Just don’t tell them. I feel awkward looking at myself like this.”
Qiu Shui, hearing this, said thoughtfully, “But Chun Lian and the others probably won’t say anything, right?”
“Just listen to me.” Before she could finish, Miss Gong stood on her tiptoes, placed her hands on Qiu Shui’s shoulders, and blinked earnestly. “Let’s make this our little secret, how about it?”
“A little secret…?”
Come to think of it, when this sentence was mentioned, Qiu Shui’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
A little secret that no one else knew. The weight of this sentence was very heavy even for Qiu Shui.
She immediately nodded, but also had some other questions. “But we still have to go and find them later. With Master like this.”
“It’s fine, I have—”
“It’s fine.” Yan Chuyue put away the pills and winked at Gong Yiling. “I have a way.”
