Ye Anping held Pei Lengxue’s small hand and deliberately slowed down his pace, taking in the bustling scenery of the night street with her.
Profound Star Sect’s market was not small; it was about the size of Hundred Lotus Sect’s market. Many shops remained open throughout the night because, after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, cultivators didn’t really need to sleep. Even some idle Foundation Establishment cultivators liked to stroll around the market at night.
Pei Lengxue now walked obediently beside him, looking at the stone bricks on the ground and avoiding stepping on the cracks. She made sure to step in the middle of each brick. If she encountered a broken brick, she would even skip over it.
She looked quite cute, like an ordinary little girl. It was hard to believe she was a cultivator who was immune to hundreds of poisons and had slain numerous demonic beasts with exceptional swordsmanship.
Little did Ye Anping know that Pei Lengxue was currently struggling with a divination for her future. It was like a petal-picking divination, like or dislike?
She was thinking, as she took one step after another, approaching the last stone brick on the street. If her left foot was forward, it meant “Senior Brother loves me,” but if her right foot was forward, it meant “Senior Brother doesn’t love me.”
After dozens of steps, she finally reached the last stone brick on the street, about to turn a corner. She paused, realizing her right foot was forward. She immediately pouted, jumped in place, and switched her left foot to the last stone brick. “Only I alone can control my destiny! Senior Brother loves me!”
Seeing her sudden action, Ye Anping was puzzled. What was she doing?
“Junior Sister, what are you doing?”
“…” Pei Lengxue remained silent for a moment, then looked up at him and asked, “Does Senior Brother love me?”
Why was she suddenly asking this?
Ye Anping blinked, then smiled and said, “Of course, I do. You’re Senior Brother’s only junior sister. How could I not love you?”
“Okay…” Pei Lengxue pursed her lips, smiled shyly, and nodded. She held Ye Anping’s hand a bit tighter and said, “Hehe…”
At this moment, Ye Anping suddenly realized something and asked, “Could it be that while you were shopping with Xiao Yunluo earlier, you saw something you wanted, and now you want me to buy it for you?”
“Huh? No…”
“You’re like this, just say what you want to Senior Brother. Do you think Senior Brother is a stranger? Come on, what do you want?”
Pei Lengxue looked at her senior brother’s face, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
“Yeah.”
When she was shopping with Xiao Yunluo earlier, Xiao Yunluo had dragged her to a clothing store and wanted to buy her clothes as a gift. However, she had firmly refused because the clothes there were too expensive. Just a thin gauze shawl cost a thousand spirit stones.
However, in that shop, there was a particularly beautiful and ethereal red wedding gown on display. The shopkeeper had proudly introduced that it was adorned with eighty-one spiritual treasures and would captivate the gaze of all men, whether on a peak or in the plains.
Although she didn’t quite understand it, she sincerely thought it was beautiful and even fantasized about wearing that wedding gown to marry her senior brother.
Of course, Pei Lengxue would never say to her senior brother that she wanted that wedding gown. It would be embarrassing if her senior brother couldn’t afford it, and it would be a waste. She didn’t want to make all men unable to look away; she only wanted her senior brother not to be able to take his eyes off her.
Just as they were passing by, Pei Lengxue hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to hold her senior brother’s hand and turned back, arriving at the entrance of a budget clothing store.
“Clothes.”
“…?”
Ye Anping looked at the sign above the clothing store, blinked, and then blinked again.
This was the clothing store where he had custom-made women’s clothing.
Because at that time, he hadn’t thought of asking Bai Yuelin to help attract customers yet. He wanted to use women’s clothing to serve customers, as a massage center with female massager was sure to attract a lot of clients.
But later, due to various circumstances, Bai Yuelin helped bring in customers, and the plan to operate with women’s clothing was put on hold.
As for that women’s clothing, the day before yesterday when Feng Yudie came to his shop to get some roasted chicken, he remembered that piece of clothing.
Since it was custom-made to fit his own measurements, if he gave it to his junior sister, it would likely be too tight.
As Feng Yudie had a body shape quite similar to his, only slightly shorter, he sold that outfit to her at a fifty percent discount, which was a good deal for him.
At the time, when Feng Yudie received the outfit, she quite liked it and praised his taste…
Just as Ye Anping was thinking of finding an excuse to choose another clothing store, the shop’s owner came out and greeted them.
“Isn’t this the young gentleman from last time?”
“Hmm?” Seeing that the owner recognized her senior brother, Pei Lengxue tilted her head and quickly pulled her senior brother towards the owner. “Owner, did my senior brother buy clothes here before?”
“Yeah, Last time, he left a deep impression on me.” The owner laughed and said, “The young gentleman asked me to make a dress based on his measurements as soon as he entered the shop.”
“A dress…?!”
Pei Lengxue looked at Ye Anping in shock, causing him to feel embarrassed. He didn’t know how to explain.
At this moment, the owner continued, “The young gentleman must have bought it as a gift for someone, right? How was the dress I made? Not bad, I hope?”
“…a gift?”
Pei Lengxue furrowed her eyebrows slightly. A dress made to her senior brother’s measurements? A gift?
Ye Anping had no choice but to make up a weak excuse and change the topic.
“I bought it to use as a decoration at home. Anyway, Junior Sister wants clothes, right? Owner, please make a well-fitting outfit for my Junior Sister. You can ask her about the style and color.”
“All right! Young gentleman, please sit inside for a while. I’ll take the young lady to measure her size.”
With that, the shop’s owner warmly led Pei Lengxue to the back room and began taking her measurements.
While the owner was measuring the clothing, Pei Lengxue couldn’t help but ask, “Owner, what did my senior brother’s outfit look like when he ordered it?”
“Hmm? It was a green one, similar in style to the outfit I’m wearing now, but with better fabric.”
“I see…”
Pei Lengxue pursed her lips and nodded.
She knew of only one girl whose body shape was similar to her senior brother’s, and that was Feng Yudie.
When she got back, she would check Feng Yudie’s closet to confirm!
But… What if it was true?
Giving clothing like this between members of the opposite sex was quite an intimate gesture, similar to giving handkerchiefs or jade pendants.
Especially in cases where they weren’t very familiar with each other.
Wasn’t her senior brother obsessed with “Miss Xi Yue”?
Why would he give clothing to that silver-haired fool?
What was so special about that fool?!
