There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 238: [This soft armor, slightly small]

Translator: 549690339

At the Demon Sect Outer Gate, the mountain breeze sweeps through, fluttering Ji Li’s dark hair.

She gently adjusts her hair bun, tucking it behind her ears, then, under thousands of watchful eyes, she lifts her head high, puffs out her chest, and walks over to Lu Xun under the spirit bamboo next to him.

This assertion of herself is indeed quite impressive.

At eighteen, Ji Li compared to when she was sixteen lacks a certain childishness. She was a beauty in the making and now, she exudes an undeniable charm.

Adding to that is her natural charm, which didn’t detract from her attractiveness, but rather acted as a bonus.

She was quite nervous, inexperienced in such situations, not knowing why Lu Xun had asked her to stay, but she had to put on a show of confidence!

Although there wasn’t technically anything between her and Lu Xun, she still had to…

Display the dignity of a queen!

Even if it’s all pretense, what if somebody misunderstands?

If she could eliminate a competitor, she would. It wouldn’t hurt, hehe!

These were the kinds of thoughts her simple mind could conjure up.

Lu Xun stood on a bamboo branch watching Ji Li’s antics, suppressing a chuckle.

How could he not guess Ji Li’s little schemes?

But he didn’t expose her.

In fact, the reason why he asked Ji Li to stay was to tell all the goofy players, “My relationship with this milk… this silly girl, is special.”

Then, those crazy gamers would pay more attention to Ji Li and even try to curry favor with her.

He wanted his annoying little sister to bask in some of his glory, so she could have an easier life in the Outer Sect.

All the players turned their attention to Ji Li. Some of them had seen her before while others were seeing her for the first time.

All the players thought that this NPC was incredibly beautiful!

Among all the female Outer Sect disciples, Ji Li had one of the best looks.

And her figure was exceptional.

Considering physical qualities, Ji Li was probably the best-looking among the current generation of female disciples.

A lot of players started to get curious about her relationship with the Purple Palace.

After all, the World Protagonist, being a central character in the plot, would normally have a romance storyline.

While some would have a single romance, others might have multiple.

Well, it’s basically the difference between a single female lead and a harem.

Historically, these two factions have always been at odds, their arguments as fierce as those over whether sweet or salty tofu pudding is better.

Of course, recently, several new powerful factions have sprung up – the No Female Lead faction, the Male-Male faction, etc.

However, players aren’t too fussy about this while gaming.

If this Ji Li is indeed a love interest of the Purple Palace, that would be incredible!

This would definitely be an opportunity for them to curry favor with her and, through Ji Li, earn some favorability with the Purple Palace.

Brilliant!

Lu Xun glanced at the players and waved his hand, “I will be present for the Outer Sect competition. You can all disperse now.”

With that, he descended from the spirit bamboo and walked next to Ji Li. “Ji Li, follow me.”

He then walked ahead, with Ji Li trailing behind, towards the distance.

Some adventurous players wanted to follow to get a glimpse of what was going on, but Lu Xun and Ji Li had already vanished.

The Demon Sect Outer Gate has several mountains, one of which is called Zuwang Peak.

Atop Zuwang Peak, there’s a waterfall with no name. The Outer Sect disciples usually called it…the Great Waterfall.

Standing near the waterfall, Ji Li looks eagerly at Lu Xun. “Lu…Lu Xun, do you have something to tell me?”

Lu Xun:

Why does she suddenly appear to be shy?

You can never give this cheeky girl an inch of sweetness. The moment she tastes a little sweet, she overdoes it!

He flicked Ji Li’s forehead, asking first, “Where’s the ‘Red Makeup’ I gave you? Why aren’t you wearing it?”

“Eh?” Ji Li was slightly taken aback, then reached into her noticeable bosom.

She had been carrying the ruby hairpin close to her body.

Lu Xun again:

“What, are you reluctant to wear it?” Lu Xun chuckled.

“Yes, I was going to save it!” Ji Li waved the hairpin in front of Lu Xun, cherishing it.

Just like she never spent the spirit stones Lu Xun gave her, she carefully put this hairpin away as well.

Yes, saved close to her chest.

Everyone knows that jade is slightly cold, but the one in Ji Li’s hand, likely kept her warm…

Lu Xun flicked her forehead again, saying seriously, “The spiritual artifact is meant to protect you, not to be part of your collection, put it on immediately!”

“Oh!” Ji Li obediently, took off the black wooden hairpin from her hair and put on the ‘Red Makeup’.

“The Outer Sect Competition is just a few days away, what’s your target rank?” Lu Xun asked.

“Whatever rank you want me to get, I’ll try to get it, hee!” Ji Li adjusted the hairpin in her hair and asked, “Lu Xun, does it look straight?”

Lu Xun reached out to straighten the hairpin for her and said, “Make sure to perform well and don’t embarrass me.”

“Tsk! You’re speaking as if I’m your woman.” Ji Li murmured under her breath.

After another flick on the forehead, Lu Xun took out soft armor from his storage ring.

He got it from Mao Nanbei before he came to the Outer Sect.

Of course, he had to pay a price for it – making desserts for Mao Nanbei every day for the next month.

This soft armor is of Superior Yellow Level, not extremely precious, obtained by Mao Nanbei outside the sect.

For Ji Li, who had just stepped into the initial realm, this was just right for her.

It’s not that Lu Xun didn’t want to get something better for her, but it wasn’t needed for now.

“Here, for you.” Lu Xun handed Ji Li the soft armor.

“Why are you giving me another magical weapon, don’t I already have the ‘Red Makeup’?” Ji Li asked.

Her aptitude was already outstanding among the Outer Sect Disciples, Enlightenment 8 is considered a superior aptitude, even in the Demon Sect, it’s quite exceptional.

Among the disciples in her batch, only one male disciple had Enlightenment 8 as well.

Therefore, she believed that with the ‘Red Makeup’ in her hand, her performance would definitely not be inferior.

“You’re not aware that the use of spiritual artifacts and magical weapons above spiritual artifacts is forbidden in the Outer Sect Competition, right?” Lu Xun asked exasperatedly.

What on earth does this silly sister of his think about all the time?

Oh, she’s probably most likely thinking about me…

“Ah? There’s such a thing?” Ji Li was shocked.

Life proves it is best not to exchange brains for a busty chest, if they have to, they should keep at least a little…

Lu Xun simply tossed the soft armor to Ji Li to avoid unnecessary chatter.

Ji Li quickly caught it, then unfolded it and took a look.

The soft armor was actually very thin, just about as thick as underwear.

Its material was quite comfortable.

The defense properties were not bad, Lu Xun tested it with sword qi, and it felt like it was of high quality among Superior Yellow Level items.

Ji Li looked at the soft armor, seeming to want to say something.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Xun asked.

Ji Li held the soft armor up high with both hands, covering her small face.

She slightly lowered her head, her cheeks turning rosy. She used the armor to shelter her face and said in a mosquito-like voice:

“Lu Xun, this soft armor seems… a little small.”

(PS: The late second update, all blame the last chapter was too long!
