“These clothes… can’t be taken off. Once they’re taken off, the poison will spread… and people will die.”
This is her destiny, and also her shackles.
She was a monster isolated from the world; the beautiful dress seemed out of place for her.
"Who said you'd die?"
Zhang Tianyi stepped over.
He took off his sunglasses and casually hung them on his collar.
There was no disdain in those purple eyes, only a reassuring calm.
"Girl, look at me."
Chen Duo raised her head.
Zhang Tianyi raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, and a strange ball of lightning was slowly gathering at the tip of his finger.
A deep, tranquil, and understated blue, like the deep sea.
It hovered quietly at Zhang Tianyi's fingertip.
"This is specially made for you by Master Dao."
Zhang Tianyi spoke very softly, as if afraid of disturbing something:
"Purple Mansion - Tranquil Thunder Wedge!"
"It can't undo your curse. That thing is too complicated; it can't be fixed in a short time."
"but……"
Zhang Tianyi's finger gently touched Chen Duo's brow:
"It can help you build a prison."
"A temporary cage that only targets the poison within your body."
"Buzz!"
As her fingertips touched it, the dark blue lightning instantly entered Chen Duo's brow.
It flowed rapidly throughout her body along her meridians.
Chen Duo felt an unprecedented coolness instantly sweep over her entire body.
The primal poison that had been restless within her, constantly trying to break through her skin and devour everything, was gone.
The moment they encountered this lightning force, they seemed to have met their natural enemy, instantly shrinking back and lying in wait.
They were locked deep inside their bodies by a lightning seed.
The pain that accompanied her at that moment, the pain that threatened to erode everything... disappeared.
"This……"
Chen Duo stared wide-eyed at her hands in disbelief.
This was the first time in her life that she had felt so relaxed, so...clean.
"This thunder wedge will last for three days."
Zhang Tianyi withdrew his hand and put both hands in his pockets.
He looked at the dazed Chen Duo, and that wicked smile reappeared on his lips:
"For the next few days, you'll just be an ordinary little girl who can wear pretty clothes however she wants."
"Show off your arms if you want, show off your legs if you want."
"Go."
Zhang Tianyi pointed to the fitting room.
Chen Duo was stunned for a full three seconds.
Then, she hugged the pale white dress tightly and nodded heavily to Zhang Tianyi.
She turned around and went into the fitting room.
"Click".
The door is locked.
……
Outside the shop.
Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing were squatting idly at the door.
"Old Qing, what do you think Second Master is up to in there?"
Wang Ye scratched his head, "Could it be that they're really forcing Chen Duo to wear that red and green outfit?"
"Surely...no way?"
Zhuge Qing was also a little uncertain; his hand, which was waving the fan, became somewhat stiff.
"While your aesthetic sense is... a bit unique, it doesn't have to be this cruel."
"but……"
Zhuge Qing sighed, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes:
"You know about Chen Duo's situation; she's a Gu-body Saint Child."
"If she took off that protective suit, this mall would probably turn into a scene from a biohazard crisis."
"Although the Second Master is strong, this poison is insidious and can penetrate anywhere..."
While the two were worrying unnecessarily.
"Splash!"
The shop's roller shutter was pulled up.
The two of them instinctively stood up and looked back.
Zhang Tianyi was leaning against the counter, playing with a pair of sunglasses in his hand, a mysterious smile on his face.
He gestured with his lip towards the two of them, indicating that they should look towards the fitting room.
"Squeak."
The fitting room door slowly opened.
The first thing to emerge was a foot wearing white shoes.
Her ankles were slender and fair, appearing exceptionally light without the heavy protective suits that usually cover them.
Followed by.
The figure, somewhat awkward and shy, slowly emerged from the shadows.
The moment she was fully under the light.
Everyone fell silent.
The bulky, dark green work clothes were gone.
At this moment, Chen Duo was wearing a light white dress with a light blue cardigan over it.
The skirt hem was just past the knee, revealing half of her smooth calves.
Her long, dark green hair, which was originally a bit messy, was not styled at this moment.
Simply letting it drape softly over her shoulders gives her a natural air of languor.
She nervously clutched the hem of her skirt with both hands, her head slightly lowered.
A faint blush, unlike anything she had ever seen before, appeared on her cheeks.
clean.
purely.
Like a secluded orchid in the deep mountains, freshly washed by rain, pure and flawless, its beauty is so exquisite it breaks your heart.
"This……"
Wang Ye almost dropped the thermos in his hand.
Zhuge Qing even forgot to wave his fan, and his squinty eyes widened once again.
Is this still the same lifeless, dangerous-looking Gu-body Saint Child?
She looks just like the little girl next door!
"call out!"
A loud, perfectly standard hooligan whistle shattered the tranquility.
Zhang Tianyi deliberately made an exaggerated expression, looking Chen Duo up and down, his tone full of amazement and teasing:
"Ouch!"
"Whose fairy maiden has descended to earth?"
"Where did that dusty little girl go? Did you hide her?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Duo lowered her head even further, her face turning as red as a ripe tomato.
She tugged at the hem of her skirt somewhat uncomfortably, her voice barely audible, like a mosquito's hum:
"Is this... okay?"
"That's fantastic!"
Zhuge Qing was the first to react.
He stepped forward and, this time, offered his praise with genuine sincerity and utmost gentlemanly courtesy:
"Chen Duo, you made a good choice."
"This is what you call natural beauty. This dress suits your temperament perfectly."
"Compared to that peony cheongsam... cough cough, this is like comparing heaven and earth!"
