“Is this really okay? No, this can’t be right…”
Even though Mu Yanxi had already stepped into the changing room, she stood frozen for a long time without moving.
Her mind was in complete chaos, endlessly tangled up in conflicting thoughts. The short qipao itself hadn’t shocked her this much, but the underwear and panties that these girls were wearing truly gave her a massive jolt.
In the end, she gritted her teeth, found a corner, turned to face the wall, and reluctantly began taking off her own clothes, preparing to change into this short qipao. At least her own underwear was just ordinary shorts — she could keep things normal that way.
But she had barely picked up the new clothes and hadn’t even had time to put them on when the terminal ring on her hand suddenly lit up with a soft chime. Immediately afterward, a timid female voice came from behind her:
“Is that… Mu Yanxin?”
“Uh?!” Mu Yanxi turned her head. The speaker was a soft-looking black-haired girl whose face felt extremely familiar — clearly someone the original owner knew — but Mu Yanxi couldn’t recall her name at all.
At the same moment, the message from the terminal ring also appeared in her mind: Ruoxuan: “Mu Yanxin, did you get into Bell Moon High Sect?!”
Mu Yanxi reacted quickly and immediately asked aloud: “Ruoxuan?”
The delicate girl’s face instantly lit up with joy. “It really is Mu Yanxin! I saw the terminal ring and it felt so familiar… You actually got into Bell Moon High Sect? And you even turned into a girl?!”
She hurried over and began carefully studying Mu Yanxi’s face, as if trying to find traces of the familiar person she used to know. Mu Yanxi quickly turned her head away and stammered: “T-too close!”
“Eh?” Only then did Ruoxuan realize — she herself had already taken off her outer clothes and was standing there in nothing but plain, simple pure-white underwear.
In this changing room environment she had somewhat gotten used to it, and just wearing underwear felt… almost normal?
Plus, she had been so excited to see a familiar terminal ring that she rushed over without thinking, completely forgetting she was half-dressed.
She was, after all, a proper girl through and through, and she also knew that Mu Yanxin used to be a boy. Her face immediately flushed bright red.
She hurriedly covered her chest and lower body, turned sideways, and squeaked: “S-sorry! Wait for me to put on my clothes first!”
With that, she spun around and rushed to put on the qipao. Just moments ago she had been hesitating about whether to wear this obviously erotic short qipao, but now she couldn’t care less — she just grabbed it and hurriedly pulled it on. Only after the clothes were on did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Once the qipao at least covered her body, Mu Yanxi finally sent her divine sense into the terminal ring to check who exactly this “Ruoxuan” was — hoping to find some clues.
And she actually did find something. Ruoxuan’s information came from the “Jade Truth Third Junior Sect, Class 2” group chat.
These past few days, Mu Yanxi had indeed noticed that the terminal ring had an app that let people create different group chats for different social circles, where friends could chat freely.
But since Mu Yanxi knew absolutely nothing about the original owner’s past social life, she basically never spoke in any of them.
She only lurked and read through the original owner’s old chat logs, trying to figure out what kind of person the original Mu Yanxin was, and how he used to talk.
Judging from this message, Ruoxuan was clearly a classmate from the original owner’s junior sect days — and same class too. No wonder she recognized the terminal ring at a glance and immediately sent a message to confirm.
Mu Yanxi glanced down at her own terminal ring. It was quite an old model, probably scavenged from a junkyard and repaired. There were even a few visible scratches on it. No surprise Ruoxuan could spot it instantly.
By then, Ruoxuan had finally finished dressing properly and walked back over.
She was much more meticulous than Mu Yanxi — she had even buttoned up the qipao completely and put on socks before coming over. Then she asked, eyes wide with surprise:
“I really didn’t expect you to actually become a girl… So out of everyone in Third Sect Class 2, it’s just the two of us who made it into Bell Moon High Sect?”
