Shrek City, the busiest commercial street.

The early autumn sunlight filtered through the gaps in the sycamore leaves, casting dappled shadows on the bluestone path.

At the street corner, the girls gathered together, their chattering more lively than the sparrows in the trees.

"Yutong! You're the star of the day, don't worry, we'll all help you!" Tang Ya put her hands on her hips, looking confident, as if to say, "Leave it to me."

The girls around them were equally enthusiastic. Ning Tian was flipping through several fashion magazines, Wu Feng had already taken out his notebook and was making a list, and Xiao Xiao was standing on tiptoe, looking at the women's clothing stores in the distance.

That's right. This is Huo Yutong's most important life event!

Thinking of this, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in the eyes of the girls.

Recalling the closing ceremony of the Sun Moon Empire a few days ago, when Beibei and the others were in the audience watching those "people" from the Soul Beast side, everyone was so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

So we've already met the Beast God...

Huo Biling is an emerald swan...

Huo Ziyan is the Demon Dragon King of Hell...

For Beibei and the others, what happened in those few days was like a bizarre and fantastical dream.

The battle in the Demon Forest, the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult, the alliance between humans and beasts, and Di Tian and Mu En standing side by side—every piece of news was explosive enough, but the most explosive was that Huo Yutong liked Di Tian!

Several days have passed, and Beibei and the others will still occasionally pinch themselves and wonder if they are dreaming.

Tang Ya took the lead, striding forward: "Come on! Our journey begins here!"

"Let's go!" Xiao Xiao followed without being outdone, her short legs moving quickly.

The first women's clothing store was small but exquisitely decorated, with all kinds of dresses hanging in the window.

Huo Yutong was surrounded by several girls, like a little white rabbit that had wandered into a pack of wolves.

She usually wears casual clothes or school uniforms at the college, but today she was suddenly forced to sit in a chair to try on clothes, which left her completely bewildered.

"How about this one?" Tang Ya pulled a black high-slit maxi dress from the hanger and held it up in front of Huo Yutong. "Yutong, you usually wear casual clothes, this one will definitely show off your skin! Your skin is so good, you should show it off!"

Huo Yutong glanced at the dress; the slit went all the way up to her thigh, and her face flushed red.

"This...this opening is too big..." she said in a voice barely audible.

"This one is nice too." Ning Tian walked over with a pure white lace-trimmed tulle dress. The skirt was voluminous, and the cuffs were adorned with delicate bows. "It suits you very well."

Huo Yutong glanced at it and shook her head: "This one is very nice... but I don't want Uncle to continue treating me like a little girl."

Tang Ya's eyes darted around, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Yu Tong, then we need a contrast! Listen to me, you usually have a pure and innocent image in front of your uncle, right? Suddenly you're dressed like this—"

She pulled a black tank top and a mini skirt from the hanger, waved them in front of Huo Yutong, and smiled like a little fox:

"He'll definitely be impressed!"

Huo Yutong's face flushed even more. But she secretly glanced at the outfit, and a thought suddenly popped into her head... maybe it wasn't so bad? If she only wore it for her uncle to see...

"This tight leather outfit is both flattering and sexy." Wu Feng's voice came from the other side. She was holding a dark red tight leather outfit in her hand, which looked very high-quality.

Huo Yutong looked at it carefully and shook her head: "This one is nice... but not suitable for a date."

As soon as the word "date" was uttered, several girls simultaneously exclaimed "Oh—", drawing out the sound and laughing meaningfully.

"What about this one?" Xiao Xiao pulled out a blue backless dress from the corner. The back of the dress was open, revealing everything from the shoulder blades to the waist. "This blue backless dress is quite nice. Yu Tong, your hair usually covers your back perfectly, so when you flip your hair—"

"That's what you call contrast!"

Huo Yutong paused for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, and whispered:

"I...I have a tattoo on my back."

"Tattoo?" Several girls stopped what they were doing at the same time.

"It's a tattoo of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. It was automatically generated after I obtained the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul. Because it's so conspicuous, I even use simulated soul skills to cover it up when I go to the academy's bathhouse."

The air was silent for three seconds.

"What?!"

The most shocked person was Xiao Xiao, who had been Huo Yutong's roommate for two years!

"Yutong! We're best friends! When we were roommates, we showered together every day and even scrubbed each other's backs. How could you have been covering your tattoo with a fake one all this time?!" Xiao Xiao's voice rose eight octaves, her face full of accusation that she had been "deceived."

Tang Ya also joined in, her eyes shining brightly: "We're so curious! You have to let us see! Come on—try this backless dress on, don't hide your tattoos, let us see!"

Huo Yutong felt trapped under the intense gazes of the girls and had no choice but to obediently carry the dress into the fitting room.

A few minutes later.

The curtain in the fitting room was pulled open.

Huo Yutong walked out wearing that blue backless dress.

The dress was cut to fit her figure, and the open back design exposed her entire back to the air and the view. Her smooth skin shone with a delicate luster under the light, and you could feel the slight tickling of her hair falling on her back.

"Come on, turn around," Tang Ya said softly.

Huo Yutong turned around and then slowly lifted her hair.

Tang Ya, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Xiao Xiao all crowded around at the same time.

"Wow……"

"This tattoo is so beautiful..."

"Just like it's alive..."

On Huo Yutong's smooth, beautiful back, there was a lifelike tattoo of an ice-green imperial scorpion.

With its emerald green carapace, long tail hook, and every clearly visible joint, it seemed as if it would crawl out of her skin at any moment.

The colors of the tattoo are vibrant and dynamic, faintly shimmering with an icy blue light under the lamplight—a mark belonging to the far north, to the Ice Empire.

"Oh my god..." Xiao Xiao reached out to touch it, but then hesitated, afraid of being too forward, her fingers hovering in mid-air. "Is this really just a tattoo? Or is it alive?"

"It's a Martial Soul Mark," Huo Yutong said softly, her voice carrying a hint of pride she herself didn't realize. "It was left by the Ice Emperor when she acknowledged me. It... has always been on my back."

Several girls surrounded her from behind, their gazes burning so intensely they seemed to be searing holes in her back.

"Yutong—" Tang Ya suddenly said seriously, her tone carrying a sense of "my best friend got married," "You absolutely must let your uncle see this. He will definitely—"

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood.

Huo Yutong lowered her head, her ears turning as red as if they were about to bleed.

When it came time to pay the bill, Huo Yutong did something that surprised everyone.

Her face flushed, she pointed to the dresses on the rack that she had shyly rejected before: a black high-slit maxi dress, a black camisole, and a mini skirt. She whispered to the shop assistant, "Wrap these up too."

Tang Ya's eyes widened instantly, then she revealed a relieved expression, as if to say, "My little cabbage has finally figured it out!" She leaned close to Huo Yutong's ear and said slyly, "What? You've come to your senses? Planning to wear it for your beloved uncle tonight?"

Huo Yutong's face turned red again.
