Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 266 Feng Linran's Design
Tang Xue twirled around with a touch of smugness, her sleeves and skirt tracing elegant arcs, the layers of tulle billowing and shimmering. Min Wu watched her with burning eyes, helping her adjust her skirt.

"Xuanxuan, come and see, does this dress fit?" Tang Xue asked excitedly.

"The innermost layer of this dress is made of ice silk spun by silkworms. It's quite valuable. Can you afford it?" a friend behind Shen Wenwen asked disdainfully.

"Xiaoyue, don't say that. Ningxuan, are you and Tang Xue friends?" Shen Wenwen seemed a little sad. Back in the training camp before the Alchemist Competition, Shen Wenwen felt that Ningxuan had a unique temperament and was good-looking, and she really wanted to be friends with Ningxuan.

At that time, she kept an eye on Ning Xuan's movements every day. Finally, she was able to talk to her. Then, Ning Xuan somehow entered the training room that simulated extreme environments. She thought that someone was plotting against Ning Xuan and planned to ask her father to apply for an emergency rescue pod to save her. However, a man who claimed to be Ning Xuan's butler jumped out, dispersed the crowd, and took Ning Xuan away.

Since then, Ning Xuan has rarely appeared at the pre-competition training camp. Later, she heard that Ning Xuan won the championship of the unlimited group of the Alchemist Competition. Since they had not exchanged addresses when they started dating, she wanted to find Ning Xuan, but she didn't know where to look.

Shen Wenwen has always regretted not being able to become good friends with Ning Xuan. Today, she suddenly discovered that Tang Xue, who has always been at odds with her, was able to find Ning Xuan, which made her feel uneasy.

"Yes, hello, Shen Wenwen." Ning Xuan smiled and nodded.

"You still remember me?" Shen Wenwen asked with some surprise.

"Uh, I remember." Ning Xuan felt that the name Shen Wenwen sounded familiar when she first heard it from Tang Xue. She seemed to have heard it before. Now that she saw her in person, she remembered that this girl often came to chat with her during the training camp before the Alchemist Competition.

Ning Xuan was focused on her studies at that time. Shen Wenwen talked a lot, and she would only respond with a word or two occasionally. It was amazing that she could keep talking by herself.

"Really? That's great! Your friend is my friend too, Tang Xue. Let's put aside our past grievances and be good friends from now on, okay?" Shen Wenwen said happily.

"Who wants to be your friend? I have Xuanxuan, that's enough for me," Tang Xue scoffed.

"Ning Xuan, I heard you won the championship in the unlimited group. You're amazing! By the way, where do you live? Can I come visit you sometime?" Shen Wenwen didn't care about Tang Xue's attitude at all and happily talked to Ning Xuan.

"Sure." Faced with Shen Wenwen's enthusiasm, Ning Xuan felt embarrassed to refuse and gave her the address.

In fact, after attending her graduation ceremony, she planned to go to the Spiritual Energy Cultivation Secret Realm and stay there for a few days. Soon she would be going to Ying Yaoshi's place, and after that she might be going to take up a post in the military. She probably wouldn't have much time to stay on the Central Star.

Shen Wenwen got Ning Xuan's home address and immediately felt at ease. "Ning Xuan, you're also out choosing a dress, right? Which store do you like? I'll go with you to pick one out."

"Hey, Shen Wenwen, have you no shame? I'm the one who called Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan, what do you think of this dress I chose?" Tang Xue asked Ning Xuan, annoyed that Shen Wenwen was pestering her.

"The clothes are pretty good. If you like them, buy them." Ning Xuan also likes pretty clothes, but she feels that trying them on is a bit of a hassle.

“Ningxuan, you’re tall. There’s a clothing store that would really suit you. I’ve had my eye on their clothes for ages, but because I’m short, I can’t pull them off. I can only look on with envy. I’ll take you there. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied,” Shen Wenwen said, her eyes shining.

The Central Star is inhabited by prominent families, and over 80% of the Federation's female B-rank spirit controllers reside here. The wealth these women possess is immeasurable, making the service industry related to women extremely prosperous. From clothing and food to housing and transportation, and with beauty being a woman's nature, women are very willing to spend money on clothing.

The store that Shen Wenwen recommended to Ning Xuan was called Tianyifang. The clothes in this store were indeed very pleasing to the eye. Both the color scheme and the design were very comfortable to look at, giving people a feeling of being flamboyant but not exaggerated.

"It's really beautiful!" Tang Xue exclaimed in delight.

Tang Xue quickly selected several outfits and went to try them on with great interest.

"Miss Ning, please try on this outfit." The sales assistant brought out a mannequin. The long dress on the mannequin was made of an unknown material, with a red inner layer and black outer layer. The black gauze skirt was embroidered with large, lifelike flowers, as if they were blooming on branches, with red flowers and golden stamens, extremely beautiful and magnificent.

This long dress unexpectedly caught Ning Xuan's eye. The black and red dress was clearly a high-end creation; the shop assistant shone the lights on it, and the black tulle skirt shimmered with dazzling light, creating an extremely luxurious visual effect.

Ning Xuan was quite satisfied with the dress, so she went to the fitting room to change. After she came out, Shen Wenwen and Tang Xue exclaimed, "Wow, I've been to this store so many times, how come I've never seen this dress before?"

"Even if I saw it, I wouldn't want to try it on. Only my sister Xuan can pull off this dress."

"Yes, it's like it was tailor-made for you, it suits your temperament perfectly." Shen Wenwen kept praising, and Tang Xue nodded in agreement.

"The design concept of this dress is to create the majestic aura of a dark queen through the strong contrast of colors and the layering of heavy details, which is very suitable for this lady's temperament," the sales assistant recommended.

Ning Xuan looked at herself in the mirror. She had fair skin, black hair and eyes, square shoulders, a swan-like neck, a shapely waistline, and long legs. She looked good.

She was used to wearing combat uniforms, so she felt quite uncomfortable wearing this formal dress for the first time.

However, she was quite satisfied with the dress.

Ning Xuan and the others left the store, and Feng Linran and a man came out from inside.

"You know that young lady, right? This dress wasn't designed specifically for her, was it? It suits her so well." The man seemed to know Feng Linran well, and looked at him with some suspicion.

It's no wonder he was so suspicious. When Feng Linran saw that young lady, he looked rather gritted his teeth. He had never seen Feng Linran with such an expression before.

"I brought a gift to please her, but who knew..." Feng Linran seemed unwilling to say more.

"You've taken a fancy to her? That young lady may be young, but she's quite stunning. You have good taste," the man said thoughtfully.
