Lingerie.
She recognized each of these four characters individually.
But put together, Ying Bing tilted her head slightly, utterly unable to comprehend.
Is it a type of clothing?
“Take it out and let’s see....”
Ying Bing thought for a moment; perhaps it was some rare item she had never seen before.
“This item is not a product of this world. The Host may not know its purpose or how to wear it.”
“Friendly reminder: The System can directly ‘change clothes’ for the Host.”
“Yes/No?”
Not a product of this world?
Ying Bing’s clear, cold eyes lit up as she noticed these four words.
No wonder she couldn’t even comprehend the System’s existence.
Could the world the System belongs to... be the ultimate destination for Immortals who achieve Immortal Ascension in the Mortal World, as per legends?
Then this... could it be an Immortal’s clothing?
If so, then this clothing might have some special purpose...
Ying Bing lowered her gaze and thought for a moment.
“Yes.”
The next second.
A misty white light suddenly emanated from her body.
Ah.
It was the detestable Holy Light.
Even Ying Bing herself couldn’t yet see exactly what the clothing looked like.
But she could feel it.
Very light, very cool, very form-fitting.
It was just a little tight around her chest...
Clinging to her body, it felt somewhat like a spiderweb structure?
Ying Bing grew even more curious about what this clothing truly looked like.
Suddenly.
A pair of fuzzy cat ears appeared on her head.
“Hmm?”
Ying Bing was startled.
Immediately after.
The Holy Light dissipated. freewebnσvel.cøm
“......”
Ying Bing turned her head and saw herself in the mirror.
Cat ears, cat tail.
This clothing...
To say she was wearing it, none of the places that should be covered were covered.
To say she wasn’t wearing it, there was indeed fabric hanging on her body...
As if worn.
The material, however, was somewhat like dark cloud gauze...
If Xiao Li were here now, he would surely exclaim:
“Holy crap, succubus catgirl!”
“This... is clothing?”
Ying Bing’s beautiful face froze, her ice-mirror-like eyes trembling slightly.
“Replying to Host, yes.”
“It is clothing with a special purpose.”
Ying Bing: “?”
“To understand it using the terms of this world, this special purpose is...”
“Dual Cultivation.”
Ying Bing: “??”
If it were before, she would have ignored it, expressionlessly changed back into her clothes, and pretended nothing had happened.
A mere embarrassing piece of clothing could not affect her state of mind in the slightest.
But she had just finished ‘Dual Cultivation’.
The final layer of Phoenix Cries Heavenly Marsh...
“Hoo...”
Ying Bing gently exhaled, calming the unusual sensation in her heart.
“Help me change back into my clothes.”
Change back into clothes, and this matter will be as if nothing happened, nothing happened...
“Hint: The cooldown for changing clothes is a quarter of an hour.” frёewebnoѵēl.com
“Countdown: 12:52... 12:21...”
Ying Bing: “.....”
She had to return to Qingyuan Sect today, and the carriage was probably arriving soon.
Anyway, she would never wear this piece of clothing again, no matter what.
So she tugged hard.
The seemingly fragile spiderweb-like structure tensed but showed no damage whatsoever.
“Considering the Host’s formidable strength, this set of clothing has been specially reinforced to prevent easy damage during use.”
“It, like the System itself, cannot be destroyed.”
To some extent.
The System was quite thoughtful.
But why in this regard?
Ying Bing could only turn her head away, no longer looking at the mirror.
She calmed her mind, and in her palm appeared a golden feather, like glazed glass, emitting endless divine light and extraordinary mystique.
All the numerous phenomena of this feather were inexplicably confined by the System’s power within a small space; otherwise, it would instantly cause great commotion.
“It is undoubtedly a true phoenix feather.”
“With it, I can begin to condense my second Inner Breath...”
In her previous life, she didn’t have her current martial arts experience.
But she could still fight above her Realm, unmatched among her peers, relying on two layers of Inner Breath.
One formed from Yin Qi.
The other formed from the Scarlet Phoenix Qi of Azure Soul.
Going further, she could condense two Mystic Cores, complementing each other.
This was not unprecedented; before her, a few strong individuals whose names were recorded in history had walked this path, and later all became renowned throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Later, countless people attempted it, but success was as rare as phoenix feathers.
Not everyone has two main Meridians.
The wondrous use of the true phoenix feather was not limited to this.
With it, she could also perform special martial arts, such as ‘True Phoenix Blood Ignition Art’ and ‘True Phoenix Transformation’.
In her previous life, she had also seen a true phoenix feather, but it was much duller and broken...
The wondrous use of the true phoenix feather was definitely no less than that of a divine weapon, and its rarity was even greater.
Ying Bing’s emotions calmed down.
“The Host has completed this punishment.”
“The next round of rankings will begin in one month.”
“Do you want to activate the ‘Punishment of the Defeated’? If activated, the rewards will be even more generous.”
Ying Bing’s eyes were as clear as jade spring water, reflecting two options.
“Yes/No?”
These two words seemed to carry some magic.
The true phoenix feather was gripped a little tighter by her delicate hand.
“Punishment of the Defeated, successfully activated.”
In every era, only the first person can achieve Immortal Ascension.
But the higher one’s Realm, the more one could feel that this was no rumor.
There was an eighty percent chance it was true.
In the vast and boundless Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, only one person could achieve Immortal Ascension.
“How can I not contend for this top spot?”
As Ying Bing murmured to herself, a young man’s sunny smile couldn’t help but surface in her mind.
He who hadn’t left much of an impression on her in her previous life.
In this life, such dramatic changes had occurred in such a short time.
Everything about him seemed vivid, lingering, and unforgettable.
If I achieve Immortal Ascension, he...
There’s an old saying that goes.
People often get what they think about.
Thump—
Footsteps suddenly came from outside.
As everyone knew, Xiao Li never liked knocking on doors before.
Now, entering Ying Bing’s room was like entering his own.
“Ice Cube.”
“I’m coming in, okay.”
A familiar voice.
Ying Bing’s face remained calm, but the fur {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} on her ears and tail trembled as if startled.
She looked back.
The door had already been opened slightly...
Bang—
“Oh, this.”
Outside the door, Li Mo stumbled back two steps, utterly confused.
He clearly felt the door being slammed shut.
They had been together for so long; she should have gotten used to it by now. What was wrong today?
“Are you alright?”
Xiao Li asked, puzzled.
“Don’t... casually enter my... room.”
Li Mo: “.....”
If he hadn’t recognized Ice Cube’s voice, he would have thought it was Princess Xiao Jiang inside.
It was, quite sudden.
Although she was nowhere to be seen every time he woke up.
But they had, after all, slept together just yesterday.
Today, she was acting so distant, not even letting him into her room.
Xiao Li was a little stunned for a moment, thinking he hadn’t done anything to offend her, had he?
Unable to figure it out, Li Mo couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.
A woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea...
True, she had been easy to approach lately, unlike the Phoenix Heavenly Empress described by the Tianming Divine Eye.
Even an ordinary woman wouldn’t let a man casually enter her boudoir, would she?
It was he who had been a bit lacking in boundaries.
“The carriage has been waiting downstairs for half an hour.”
“Come down when you’re ready, okay.”
“I know.”
Li Mo heard the reply and turned to go downstairs.
Inside the door.
The cat ears twitched.
Hearing the footsteps fade away.
Ying Bing, leaning against the door, silently let out a breath.
Her costume change countdown still had three minutes left.
If he had come in and seen her just now...
She didn’t know how she would face Li Mo afterward.
Ying Bing herself didn’t notice.
Her delicate, pearl-like toes were gently tapping the floor at that moment...
