“Hey? Can you hear me? Hey?”
Xiao Nanchu’s voice was still ringing in her ears.
Having just logged out of the game, Luo Taozhi immediately took off her helmet to respond.
“I can hear you, I can hear you!”
“Oh? You can actually hear me?”
Seeing that Luo Taozhi had truly logged out, Xiao Nanchu was actually surprised.
“How can you hear voices from outside while you’re in the game? I didn’t even shout that loud, did I?”
“You did it on purpose?” Luo Taozhi was stunned.
A moment later, she unceremoniously aimed a kick at Xiao Nanchu.
“You unfilial son! How dare you use your father as a test subject!”
“Whoa, whoa!”
Xiao Nanchu grabbed the foot kicking toward him, then quickly let go.
“Pfft! …I was just testing it out. I wanted to ask what you want to eat for dinner, or are you not eating?”
Xiao Nanchu let out a suspicious chuckle, as if he had seen something hilarious.
“What the hell are you laughing at?”
Luo Taozhi sensed it keenly. She quickly looked herself over.
Her clothes were all there, and nothing embarrassing was exposed.
Everything looked normal, so what was this guy laughing at?
“Nothing, you heard wrong,” Xiao Nanchu flatly denied. Then, he quickly changed the subject. “I’m asking you, what do you want for dinner?”
“You definitely laughed!”
“Not eating?”
“I’ll eat…”
For the sake of food, she would let him off for now.
Great Fairy Luo was magnanimous and decided not to bicker with him for the time being.
“Going out to eat?”
“No, I’m too lazy to go out. Let’s just order delivery.”
“Then let me check… Crap! The delivery fee is so expensive!”
Likely because of this game, there were fewer people delivering food, and the fees had risen accordingly.
“No way? This platform raises prices so fast. How long has it been since the game was released? It’s already more expensive?”
Hearing Xiao Nanchu’s complaint, Luo Taozhi was also taken aback.
She had forgotten about delivery fees.
“Then let’s just go out to eat.”
Since the delivery fee had gone up, it was better to find something near the apartment complex. They should save whenever they could.
“If we’re going out… do you want to go wash up first?”
Xiao Nanchu mentioned it seemingly at random, but his eyes avoided Luo Taozhi’s face.
“Wash what? Fairies don’t sweat, don’t you understand?”
Luo Taozhi snorted at the suggestion.
‘What is this guy thinking? I’m already on the path of Cultivation. How could I be bothered by such mundane trifles?’
Sweat, excretion, and other such things were troubles only mortals had. Once she reached Foundation Establishment, these trivial matters would no longer exist.
“Pfft… Are you sure you’re not going?”
“Laughing again! What exactly are you laughing at? I’m not going, I’m not going. Let’s just go eat.”
“Fine, you said it.” Xiao Nanchu’s body was shaking slightly, as if he were struggling to endure something.
“Hurry up, hurry up!”
Luo Taozhi was too lazy to care about what he was laughing at. With a wave of her hand, an indistinct shimmering light appeared between them.
Before Xiao Nanchu could react, the shimmering light vanished without a trace.
Luo Taozhi now stood before Xiao Nanchu wearing her elegant Broad-sleeved Flowing Immortal Dress.
“Let’s go. What are you waiting for?”
Luo Taozhi walked over to Xiao Nanchu. Seeing him dazed, she waved a hand in front of his eyes.
“What are you thinking? Are you mesmerized by your father?”
“Heh, bullshit!” Xiao Nanchu would never admit what he saw. He argued stubbornly, “You look like you’re cosplaying in that outfit. You aren’t really planning to wear that out to dinner, are you?”
“People are going to surround us to take pictures again.”
“Let them. I don’t care.” Luo Taozhi didn’t mind.
It was just a few more eyes on her. She was used to it. As for taking pictures, she could just refuse!
“Besides, I don’t have any other clothes. This outfit I’m wearing is a Magical Artifact, you know!”
Having said that, Luo Taozhi seemed to remember something fun.
“Oh, right! Do you want to experience what it feels like to use a Magical Artifact?”
“Get lost. What ‘experience’? I have no interest in women’s clothing.”
Xiao Nanchu rejected Luo Taozhi’s kindness without hesitation.
“Just try it. I was very resistant at first too, but after putting it on, I realized it’s actually really comfortable! It’s a Magical Artifact!”
Even though Xiao Nanchu refused, Luo Taozhi had no intention of giving up.
“Try it. I’ve worn it before! It’s the original item!”
“Let’s just leave.”
Xiao Nanchu left Luo Taozhi’s room without looking back. He returned to his own room to grab his phone and then came back out.
“Let’s go then. I’ll buy you a few normal outfits while we’re at it.”
“The ones I have on are fine.”
“With you dressed like that, I feel a lot of pressure walking with you…”
“What’s there to be pressured about? Obviously, everyone’s looking at me, not you.”
“If I say there’s pressure, there’s pressure!”
“Fine, fine. You’re the one paying anyway.”
Seeing Luo Taozhi’s reluctant look, Xiao Nanchu was too lazy to argue with someone who was getting a bargain and still acting aggrieved.
The two of them soon walked out of the apartment complex.
It was truly a city center location; they reached a massive supermarket not far from the entrance.
“Perfect. Let’s go in and buy a couple of outfits, then find something to eat.”
Luo Taozhi followed obediently behind Xiao Nanchu, but she noticed that he seemed to be intentionally keeping his distance from her along the way…
‘Something is fishy!’
Luo Taozhi keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Given this guy’s thick skin—he was bold enough to use her as a fake girlfriend to trick his mom—he should be secretly enjoying the fact that people might mistake her for his girlfriend right now.
How could he be trying to distance himself from her?
‘No, there’s definitely something up.’
She checked her attire again.
Everything was fine. No issues there.
The rate of people turning their heads to look at her was still high, and their gazes lingered on her face. No problems there, either.
That was strange. Had his personality changed in a single day?
Impossible.
“Aww, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me~”
Luo Taozhi used an affected tone and quickly caught up to Xiao Nanchu, grabbing his arm.
“Let go! Let go!”
Sure enough, the moment she got close, Xiao Nanchu’s resistance was obvious.
The gazes of the passersby drifted from her face to Xiao Nanchu.
“Let go. This doesn’t look good.”
“How does it not look good? Isn’t this what you told your mom!”
‘Something is fishy! Definitely fishy!’
Luo Taozhi sneered inwardly. This guy must have done something to her face, which was why she absolutely wouldn’t let him go now.
No wonder he had “kindly” asked if she wanted to wash up before leaving.
He must have a guilty conscience!
