Chapter 68: Buying Clothes

Yi Yang casually pulled a piece from the rack, then quickly put it back; they were all plain, light-colored solids, some even bearing ridiculously exaggerated chest prints, and he had only worn such clothes as a child.

Honey, these clothes are so ugly. Let's go to the Second Ring to buy some.

In a male's view, clothes that don't enhance charm are worthless, let alone these clothes costing a thousand.

It would be better to save some money and go buy things in the Second Ring and First Ring.

So she was being picky after all; Ye Xi'an bit her lower lip, her pretty cat-eyes narrowing slightly: 'I'll buy this one.'

If you want to buy expensive clothes, you should first consider your current situation; just being able to wear them is already good.

Thinking this way, Ye Xi'an, according to her taste, picked out a set for each person: Bao Jing wore a white shirt and black long pants; Yi Yang wore a hoodie with straight-leg light-blue jeans; Ji Jiangci, Ye Xi'an chose for him a white T-shirt with a gray jacket over it, and his pants were slightly darker home cotton pants; when it came to Lin Zhi Jing, Ye Xi'an hesitated but still didn't take anything for him.

Lin Zhi Jing looked like a beast person who had been wealthy since childhood; moreover, when she was just putting away her max, she noticed there were spare clothes in the car, each piece low-key luxury, surely she wouldn't look down on these here.

Alright, go try them on in the fitting room.

Although Yi Yang thought the clothes were ugly, since Ye Xi'an picked them, he found them fine and entered the fitting room without hesitation.

Bao Jing and Ji Jiangci exchanged a glance, then also entered the fitting rooms to the left and right of Yi Yang.

Now, only Ye Xi'an and Lin Zhi Jing remained outside.

Can you help me pick out a set too?

Ye Xi'an's hand paused mid-clothes selection, her mind in a tangle.

Lin Zhi Jing still wants to mark him himself, right?

Seeing Ye Xi'an's hesitation, Lin Zhi Jing's face fell a little, a hint of weakness showing on her porcelain-like face: 'Can't I just pay for it myself?'

"I don't mean it that way," Ye Xi'an frowned, wanting to explain but not knowing how; she couldn't keep saying she didn't like him, so she might as well give up.

That's too narcissistic.

After holding it in for a while, Ye Xi'an stammered: 'Lin Zhi Jing, you know, I have a husband.'

Still four, although one is gone.

Lin Zhi Jing raised her brows, her light-colored lips parting slightly: 'So what if you have a husband?'

Ye Xi'an gritted her teeth; after all, planetary cultures differ—if Lin Zhi Jing said that on Earth, it would be utterly wrong-headed, who knows how much hatred it would draw.

After thinking for a while, Ye Xi'an finally came up with a perfect excuse; the female's perfect visage showed sorrow, her voice tinged with a sob: 'But I don't want to make Bao Jing and the others sad, and you saw earlier how Bao Jing ended up like that—all to save me—I can't let him down.'

Lin Zhi Jing, usually smart, couldn't now grasp Ye Xi'an's words: why would finding another husband let down Bao Jing and the others? Is there any necessary connection between the two?

On Zhu Shen Xing, females naturally seek as many beast husbands as they desire; if a female takes a liking, she can mark them—what's this talk about letting down or not?

Moreover," Lin Zhi Jing gave Ye Xi'an a bewitching smile: "I'm here to join you, not to split you apart."

With my addition as a Six-Level Dual-System Ability Beast Person, your family will only get better—this is a tremendous boon for you, for Bao Jing, and for your other two husbands.

Ye Xi'an's mouth twitched; she still wasn't used to Zhu Shen Xing's customs, looking at what Lin Zhi Jing said—what wolfish words.

'What do you think?'" Lin Zhi Jing paused, gazing at Ye Xi'an, awaiting her answer.

This time Ye Xi'an decided to speak frankly: 'I think it's still not okay; even if I were to look again, I'd at least need to find someone I like.'

She and Lin Zhi Jing had just met, and Lin Zhi Jing already wanted to use her as an experiment; she genuinely felt no stir of attraction, even though Lin Zhi Jing was indeed strong, handsome, and wealthy, she truly felt nothing.

Lin Zhi Jing lowered her head, her slightly upturned phoenix eyes hidden in shadow: 'I understand.'

In his view, Ye Xi'an's dislike of him stems mainly from his gray-browed serpent beast form—fear of his deadly poison, worry that he might later suffer mental backlash; a hint of ruthlessness crept into his dark eyes: wouldn't it be enough if he removed his poison sacs and found a way to avoid mental backlash, then Ye Xi'an would like him?

Ye Xi'an saw Lin Zhi Jing fall silent, her whole body shrouded in sorrow; just as she was about to comfort her, the curtains of the three fitting rooms opened simultaneously, and out stepped three males with figures even more outrageous than models.

Ye Xi'an stared for a moment—these three incredibly handsome men were all her husbands, and not even human! It was too joyful.

'How about that, honey!'" Yi Yang, feeling somewhat proud, spun twice in front of Ye Xi'an, his whole body exuding the aura of an undergraduate not yet graduated—clean and simple, making one want to press him down.

'So handsome!'" Ye Xi'an sized up Yi Yang from head to toe twice; he was still missing shoes and underwear.

Ye Xi'an didn't even dare to think how long they'd gone without washing their underwear before.

'What about me?'

Bao Jing's voice came from behind Ye Xi'an; turning her head, she saw him with a carefree expression, but his ears were red as could be, his hands stiffly held at his sides.

Bao Jing was a little nervous, worried Ye Xi'an thought he looked unattractive.

But in fact, Ye Xi'an was almost entranced; the white shirt was tailored well, fitting his broad shoulders and tight waist, possibly a size small, his abdomen faintly outlining the shape of his abs.

The black suit pants fell straight and smooth, visually lengthening his already long legs; at a glance, he seemed two meters tall.

Only Bao Jing wore the clothes a bit stiffly, the shirt's top button twisted to the very top, even the cuffs earnestly turned up; though proper, it lacked flavor.

Let me help you tidy up.

Ye Xi'an reached up, undoing Bao Jing's top button, pulling slightly to both sides to reveal his sensual, delicate collarbone; she then undid the cuffs of both hands, loosely rolling them a few times, exuding an unintentional ease and spontaneity, as well as the formidable strength in his forearms.

This looks much better.

Ye Xi'an raised her head to smile at Bao Jing, but met his deep-eyed gaze; her words of praise cut off: 'Why are you looking at me like that?'

Bao Jing was still immersed in the warm touch of Ye Xi'an's fingertips; the tingling numbness from his arms and chest earlier made him almost want to indulge.

He wanted to do something with Ye Xi'an right away.
