“Did I forget clothes?”
Just now, from the “Wukong Seeking the Dao Map,” he accepted some profound mysteries, and Li Mo almost forgot all about it.
That’s not right.
Last time in Yunzhou, she emptied an entire clothing store, putting everything into Bing Tuozi’s Sumeru bag.
And she had this magical martial art that allowed her to change clothes with just a blink of an eye.
How could she be without clothes?
Emmmm…
Wait a moment.
This was when the tacit understanding could truly be reflected. The upright gentleman Xiao Li discovered that he understood something he shouldn’t.
Undergarments…
After all, the shop in Yunzhou sold ready-made clothing, not underwear.
As for martial arts…
Whoever heard of a martial art that came with the built-in function of changing underwear? It seemed highly unlikely.
“Are you referring to undergarments?”
“…”
The Cold Fairy on the other side of the screen remained silent for a long while before nodding slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito:
“Mm-hmm.”
“Just wait a moment.”
Li Mo nodded. He had just been contemplating the Wukong Seeking the Dao Map’s cloud somersault, which he had only halfway mastered.
He never expected…
To use it so soon!
Looking at the Wukong Seeking the Dao Map, the upright gentleman Xiao Li earnestly calmed his mind to comprehend the profound mysteries within.
“The cloud somersault is the most mysterious technique of movement and flight in the world, containing the profound meaning of near and far. Therefore, when perfected, one can travel ten thousand eight thousand miles in a single somersault…”
“Back then, Monkey Brother learned it overnight, and I should be able to grasp it easily.”
“According to the locals in the tavern, there’s a shop selling women’s clothing on West Street. The styles seem quite varied, and the southern border has very liberal customs; you can tell from the clothing.”
“I wonder about undergarments… Monkey Brother, I’m sorry.”
Xiao Li pinched himself, then seriously began to contemplate and understand the cloud somersault once more.
Due to the urgency of time, he even used martial arts insight.
[Decade-long martial arts insight completed successfully.]
[First Year: You start following the method in the technique, practicing somersaults, ignoring the details. You succeed on your first attempt! However, due to the significant difference between the actions and the divine intent, you only summoned a wisp of mist.]
[Sixth Year: Your movements become increasingly standard, and by flipping, you can summon large amounts of mist. The cloud mist floats in the air, but its speed isn’t as miraculous as you imagined.]
[Ninth Year: You no longer need to flip; with a thought, you can ride the clouds and mist, and the speed is vastly improved, but you still haven’t achieved the ability of near and far.]
[Tenth Year, you sense something. You aren’t light enough.]
A flood of insights flooded his mind.
Li Mo pondered deeply.
Although the cloud somersault can be enhanced through martial arts insight, it doesn’t require the accumulation and honing over years like martial arts, achieving great, small, or perfect realms.
This technique’s effect is similar to the Vajra Unbreakable Body.
It is only related to him as a person.
“I’m not light enough…”
Li Mo frowned. Now using martial arts insight was useless; he needed that spark of inspiration.
Without that spark, all the effort was in vain.
His contemplation didn’t take long, just a few minutes.
The room was still filled with mist and subtle fragrance.
Li Mo no longer worried about whether he was light enough, turned his head, and saw the young girl on the screen lowering her eyes in a ‘calm reflection.’
Mmm…
Bing Tuozi is still waiting for clothes.
Actually, she could wrap herself in clouds, just like last time, so why did she forget this time?
“Bing Tuozi, I’ll go buy some undergarments for you. I’ll be back soon.”
Whoosh—
Clouds surged, and Li Mo’s feet were enveloped in mist. Without any weight, these clouds gently lifted him up, carrying him out the window.
Ying Bing raised her eyes, watching the young man’s shadow fly out the window.
She couldn’t help but pick up the big-headed doll and ask it in her heart,
“When will you learn those moves again?”
Inner realm powerhouses rely on fields to fly, and it’s quite noticeable.
Other means can also make martial artists like Guan Shen fly, such as her Qingluan wings, but regardless of the method, there’s always a fluctuation of primordial energy.
But Li Mo didn’t have that.
Warm Reminder: If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing track next time.
Setting
…
It was as if a cloud suddenly drifted by, carrying him away.
He seemed to always have some unexpected, incredible means.
“Can you buy them…”
The big-headed doll couldn’t speak.
So Ying Bing lightly hummed and flicked her finger against its forehead, causing it to spin in the water.
…
“Hmm?”
“It feels like flying, quite exciting.”
Riding the cloud somersault, Li Mo, delighted, performed several complex maneuvers in the air, including sharp turns and agile flips.
He felt that the cloud somersault responded to his every whim, incredibly flexible.
Most importantly, it was extremely fast!
Though it wasn’t as magical as traveling ten thousand eight thousand miles in a single somersault, it was equivalent to 2.8 times Huang Donglai’s speed.
“How vast Qingmu City is.”
“I wonder if the cloud somersault can carry people? Hmm… it seems unnecessary, since Bing Tuozi can fly on her own.”
Soaring through the air, he looked down at the myriad lights of Qingmu City.
Xiao Li felt like he had bought a new car and couldn’t resist driving it even to buy cigarettes.
Not long after, he found the shop specializing in women’s undergarments and dispersed the cloud somersault at the street corner.
Entering the shop, the owner was a middle-aged woman from the southern border. Business was still going well at the moment.
When Li Mo entered, he received various looks of attention.
“Young sir, we don’t sell men’s clothing here.”
The female owner thought he had come to the wrong place.
“It’s for someone else.” The upright gentleman Xiao Li said seriously.
“Hahaha.”
“Young sir isn’t from around here, are you?”
“A young man like you buying clothes for your wife?”
Laughter echoed from the clothing store.
Of course, this was partly because Xiao Li’s appearance was sunny and handsome, and his composed demeanor, despite a hint of awkwardness, made people laugh.
If he were a lecherous foot-scratcher, he would have been kicked out long ago.
“Your wife, what kind of figure does she have?” the owner asked.
“About… um…”
The upright gentleman Xiao Li thought for a moment and had an idea.
He pointed to the opposite street, where large meat buns, inspired by central region practices but with a rugged style, could satisfy a man’s appetite.
“Young man, you’re quite lucky.”
The owner clicked her tongue and asked with a smile,
“We have many styles. I don’t know which she likes, so just pick what you like.”
With that said,
Laughter and soft chuckles came from the women in the store.
This stuff, aside from yourself, is only meant to be worn for your husband.
“What I like? Cough, normal styles are fine, the kind a gentleman would choose.”
Li Mo coughed lightly, looking around, and saw that the styles on display were dazzling, giving him a sense of a new world opening up before him.
Some were styles from the central region, nothing special.
Others were local to the southern border, mostly cool and refreshing, and not just in fabric but also in design, some even more tempting than a cool summer breeze…
“Oh, look at what you’re saying, a gentleman wouldn’t enter this place.”
Following Li Mo’s gaze, the owner smiled,
“Young man, this is called the Harmony Collar.”
“It’s a local style from the southern border, made of pearl white lotus silk, and it’s quite expensive.”
Why is it called the Harmony Collar?
Certain women who live alone or whose relationships have issues often buy this style…
“I’ll take it all.”
Xiao Li didn’t understand those things.
Buying local styles in the southern border is called adapting to local customs.
A gentleman understands this, and should fully adapt to local customs.
