Lu Yibei picked up the skirt with full momentum, then wilted and put it back down.
"Shui Ge, is this skirt a bit too short? Won't it cover everything?"
"It's a bit short, but it'll definitely cover you. Hurry up and change, I won't look!" Bai Kai said, turning his back and covering his eyes.
Seeing Bai Kai turn around, Lu Yibei picked up the skirt again and swallowed.
Although she had only lived for less than twenty years in this life, her life experience told her that life was actually a continuous process of compromise, weighing options, and giving up, all in pursuit of maximized happiness.
So...
She made a compromise.
----
Two minutes later.
Lu Yibei, changed into a floral bodycon skirt and a three-quarter sleeve jacket, stood leaning against the wall in a corner of the room, quietly watching Bai Kai busy himself. On her smooth back, the Ifrit Spirit Mark, which she couldn't yet control freely, was faintly visible.
In that appearance, if she were holding a ladies' cigarette in her mouth, she would be the spitting image of a "good" girl who smoked, dyed her hair, and had tattoos, but wasn't bad at heart.
During the short time Bai Kai was away from the Night Watch, he not only brought back clothes for Lu Yibei to disguise herself, but also three Spiritual Energy items.
One was a ceramic jar used to collect calamity water. The jar's body was **, and the mouth was shaped like a large mouth. Inside the jar was a bottomless, pitch-black expanse.
Another was a piece of Peeling Skin that was pale in color, as thin as a cicada's wing, and had almost no stitching marks.
The last item was a metal pendant used to help Lu Yibei conceal her Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
Bai Kai placed the ceramic jar on the ground, pressed his hands onto the body of the jar, and softly chanted a few incomprehensible incantations.
Immediately after, the ceramic jar seemed like it was Lived. It wriggled and shook a few times, and with a "buzz!" sound, dense eyes opened all over its body, greedily swallowing the calamity water in the room.
Taking advantage of the interval while the ceramic jar was swallowing the calamity water, Bai Kai picked up the Peeling Skin figure, placed it on the hospital bed, lightly touched its chest with his fingertip, and injected Spiritual Energy.
As the Spiritual Energy was injected, the Peeling Skin figure expanded, wriggled, and deformed at a visible speed. In the space of a few breaths, it evolved into a physical body identical to Lu Yibei's before she became a urban legend.
Lu Yibei stood in a corner of the room, fiddling with the cosmetics she had never touched before, occasionally stealing a glance at Bai Kai's busy figure, a warmth rising in her heart.
She suddenly realized that Shui Ge was still that Senior who seemed unreliable but was actually very dependable. No matter what she turned into, he would never do anything to harm her.
"Shui Ge, thank you!"
Hearing Lu Yibei's words, Bai Kai was slightly startled. When he turned his head, his face turned pale.
"Holy crap! You..."
Thick, bushy eyebrows, cheeks like a monkey's backside, lips like sausages coated in chili oil...
Bai Kai felt that being able to apply makeup to such a delicate face to resemble Gu Niang Ruhu, Lu Yibei was quite talented in a certain sense.
Sigh! Like a ghost... He sighed silently, walked forward, grabbed a cotton pad, squeezed makeup remover onto it, and began wiping Lu Yibei's face.
After using seven or eight cotton pads and half a bottle of makeup remover to clean Lu Yibei's face, Bai Kai picked up a beauty blender, soaked it in water and squeezed it dry, applied foundation, held it between two fingers, and gently applied it for her.
"Xiao Bei, your skin tone is a cool white, suitable for pink-toned foundation. As for lipstick, this TF Black Tube No. 10 is suitable for a light application..."
"Wait, Shui Ge!" Lu Yibei interrupted, "Why are you so skilled?"
Bai Kai gently tapped Lu Yibei's head, "Of course, I learned from the Sisters at the club. Xiao Bei, you'll be a big girl from now on, you should understand these things. Later, I'll also let the Sisters at the club teach you."
"I can change back..." Lu Yibei said resentfully.
Probably.
"Huh?" Bai Kai was stunned for a moment, then pouted, "What a pity."
Lu Yibei, "???"
----
In the courtyard garden of the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration.
Jiang Li sat on an old wooden chair. Beside her squatted the eerie Gu Niang, holding a large black umbrella.
"Senior, do you think Lu Yibei has any problems?"
Ever since she coincidentally met Bai Kai in front of the Night Watch, she had a subtle feeling of unease.
It wasn't that she suspected Bai Kai was up to something, but she was a little worried about Lu Yibei's condition.
She always felt that Lu Yibei's condition was probably much worse than what Bai Kai said.
After all, drawing Spirit Marks is a very dangerous thing. The higher the level of the urban legend core used in the drawing process, the greater the risk if something goes wrong.
She had a deep understanding of this point.
Hearing Jiang Li's question, Gu Niang slowly turned her eyes. Like she was suddenly Lived, she replied slowly and softly, "I don't know, I'm just a mushroom."
Jiang Li looked at the Gu Niang beside her, her lips slightly parted, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"..." After a moment of silence, Gu Niang, rarely for her, said more than one sentence to another person.
"Although I am just a mushroom, I think Lu Yibei has no problems."
No problems? Jiang Li felt a sense of relief, silently letting out a long breath.
This Gu Niang, like a fungus coexisting with the ancient building of the Huacheng Folk Culture Research Administration, was the longest-serving and most special existence among the few Gan Yuans.
Because her Spirit Mark was special and she had long since considered herself a mushroom, she could always see things that others couldn't.
Some said she saw life and death, while others said she saw the good and evil in people's hearts.
Therefore, if she said Lu Yibei had no problems, then Lu Yibei definitely had no problems.
No problems in every sense.
Jiang Li pondered, withdrew her gaze from Gu Niang, leaned on her cane and stood up, just about to leave, when she suddenly heard her say, "Someone's coming."
As soon as the words fell, the light clicking sound of high heels hitting the ground was heard from the corridor not far away. The person who came out was Bai Kai.
Beside him followed a tall girl wearing a sexy short skirt.
The girl's brown hair cascaded like a waterfall, her deep blue eyes were like gems, pure and moist, with arched eyebrows and upturned eyes, a straight nose, and delicate lips.
After applying light makeup, a hint of Charm was outlined between her brows. The two elements were blended together in a contradictory yet subtle manner, yet they exuded astonishing Charm.
She felt somehow familiar... Jiang Li sized up the girl, her brow furrowed slightly, and she stumbled forward to meet them.
----
"Shui Ge, is it really okay?" Lu Yibei asked in a low voice, unable to help herself, as she walked forward supported by Bai Kai.
Not long ago, after hearing Bai Kai's plan, she always felt it was a bit crazy.
After putting on high heels and a short, tight bodycon skirt, she couldn't even walk steadily. Could this really fool them?
Bai Kai's mouth didn't move. He squeezed out a response from between his lips, "Don't worry. Try not to talk later. I'll handle whatever happens."
"We need to finish this quickly. Your Spiritual Energy fluctuations are too strong, that pendant won't last long."
Lu Yibei parted her red lips, wanting to speak but hesitating, and nodded.
Things had come to this point, what other option was there besides trusting Shui Ge? It wasn't like she could unleash some invincible power and kill her way out, right? That kind of plot only happened in novels and was completely unrealistic. Lu Yibei thought.
Passing through the dimly lit corridor and entering the small garden, the scene ahead suddenly brightened.
Looking up, Lu Yibei saw Jiang Li standing in the middle of the path at a glance, and her heart instantly leaped into her throat.
As if sensing Lu Yibei's panic, Bai Kai gently patted her back and subtly shielded her /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ by stepping in front of her.
"Yo, Gan Yuan Jiang, hello!"
Jiang Li looked at the grinning Bai Kai, as if wanting to examine Lu Yibei more carefully, then withdrew her gaze and stared directly into Bai Kai's eyes, asking, "Who is this Miss?"
"Oh, her!" Bai Kai grinned playfully, "A Sister from the club. Isn't it going to take a lot of time for Xiao Bei's Spirit Mark to stabilize? I was bored, so I asked her to come over and have some fun."
Hearing Bai Kai emphasize the words "have some fun," Jiang Li seemed to realize something and revealed the contempt in her heart without reservation on her face. Then, her gaze drifted towards Lu Yibei.
Her delicate face was covered by foundation, making her complexion unreadable, and she didn't show any particular expression. Her gaze shifted downwards, and when she saw those long, shapely legs that couldn't stop trembling, she tilted her head in confusion.
"She seems uncomfortable?"
Bai Kai followed Jiang Li's gaze, glancing at Lu Yibei behind him out of the corner of his eye. His thoughts raced, and he immediately responded.
"Well, isn't this, old but vigorous! You know, it's a bit embarrassing to say, haha!" freewebnoveℓ.com
As he spoke, he swayed his waist back and forth as if showing off.
Lu Yibei, "???"
That's enough! Is this ♦ what you meant by letting you handle it?
A blush instantly appeared on Jiang Li's cold face. She did understand what Bai Kai was trying to express. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that sometimes knowing too much wasn't a good thing.
Bai Kai, you really are something!
Seeing both Misses fall silent, Bai Kai shrugged nonchalantly, "Since none of you here have any objections, I'll be heading off now?"
"I need to take the Miss back and then come back to take care of Xiao Bei!"
Jiang Li slightly lowered her head, rubbed her brow, and silently waved her hand.
Seeing this, Bai Kai, pulling Lu Yibei, was about to leave when he saw the girl with the large black umbrella who had silently appeared behind him at some point. His face changed, and he stopped.
Gu Niang, who squatted in the courtyard garden and rarely moved unless for work, had actually blocked the middle of the path. This caused Bai Kai to panic, his heart pounded, and a few beads of sweat seeped into his palms.
Jiang Li stood aside, quietly watching Gu Niang approach Bai Kai and the girl little by little, a hint of strangeness in her eyes.
Could it be that Senior saw something wrong with Bai Kai and that Miss?
Lu Yibei, completely out of the loop, stared blankly at the eerie girl slowly approaching, and was slightly stunned.
The next moment, that bloodless face moved close to hers, almost nose to nose.
Those dull black eyes met Lu Yibei's gaze. She only felt as if a pair of invisible large hands were slowly reaching out in the air, peeling away her disguise inch by inch, seeing her soul without reservation.
A suffocating sense of oppression struck. Lu Yibei felt her heartbeat also pause for a moment. Just then, the girl's slightly hoarse voice softly sounded beside her ear.
"Do you... like humans more, or urban legend more?"
In an instant, countless voices, like shouts of a mountain collapse and a tsunami, exploded in Lu Yibei's ears, striking her soul as if delivering the most severe reprimand and interrogation.
The voices in her ears gradually faded. Lu Yibei was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses. With effort, she forced a smile onto her stiff face, a smile uglier than crying.
"Of, of course it's humans!"
The girl stared at Lu Yibei in silence for a moment, then silently turned around, walked into the flowerbed, squatted back down in her old spot, and once again turned into a lifeless Gu Niang.
