Chapter 162: The Wikstroemia

He elected to stay in his room for the rest of the day, and it was eerie how quiet he was being.

He lay on the bed for the past three hours as he stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Okay, Jumeng saw me cross-dressing; its not a big deal. If anything, she thinks its a strange hobbyone, it isnt illegal; two, Im not hurting anyone; three, Im not stealing her food. It is completely fine!

Lu Yibei had the strange ability to adapt to any situation, considering his extremely thick skin. Nothing matters to him at this time.

Nothing can phase a person without shame.

If anything, Jumeng seeing me do so is beneficial, he thought. Now, I can avoid her suspicion and run out at night under the guise of wanting to avoid her, and Ill be safe from being detected!

But I must prepare.

He got up from bed in a hurry and barged into his walk-in closet, searching for his sewing kit and the guitar bag containing the statue of Acala, the Immovable, and got to work.

As a child who grew up in a single-family, he had to rely on himself for almost everything, so he was able to use a sewing kit with relative ease.

He planned to modify the guitar bag a little bit to fit his agenda.

Time unknowingly passed as he got to work; it was around four in the afternoon, and the orange sky was dusted slightly with hints of indigo. Soon, he finished sewing additional attachments to the guitar bag.

This guitar bag was a gift from Sumi, his neighbour, and previously, it was only big enough to store the statue.

Now, two additional pockets were sewn in, and his toy gun and kitchen knife were placed into the pockets. No more, no less.

Just like that, he had a portable arsenal with himlong-range, short-range, emergency weaponhe had it all!

He was very satisfied with his work and patted himself on the back. Then he took out a drawstring bag that was used to hold shoes, stuffed his remaining charms inside, and carried the box containing the bamboo scrolls with him.

Before going downstairs, he glanced at the magical girl suit thrown on the bed and sighed, Could you revert back to your original appearance, please?

The suit flew into the air, and in a dazzling twirl, it returned to its original red-white appearance of a coat and landed quietly on Yibeis shoulder as it rubbed his cheek affectionately.

Thats more like it, he smiled and went downstairs.

When he came downstairs, he could see the apparitions helping Jumeng out, and more than half of the charms he commissioned were complete.

Seeing Yibei in the living room, Jumeng smiled and waved her hand, beckoning him over, but he simply snorted, stuffed the charms into his bag, and left without looking backwards.

Jumengs hand was still frozen as she watched him leave.

Seeing this, the eyeball leapt up and whispered to its friends, Whats wrong with the two of them? Are they having a fight?

They all glanced at Jumengs frozen state and shrugged.

By the way, this goddess is quite powerful. In just a few seconds she went upstairs, and she sent our Witch into a nonverbal state. Tell me, who should we listen to in this family from now on?

However, he didnt get to work immediately and instead stared at Yibei.

Whats wrong? Is there anything missing?

No! he said with a dark face. I cant work while you are here. Go find something else to do, and come back in 30 minutes!

In reality, he didnt want to deal with Lu Yibei potentially, forcing him into a conversation he couldnt leave.

Whatever! I have other things to do anyway!

The place Lu Yibei wants to go to is a tower located in the depths of Peony Street. The whole tower is made of high-quality wood, all of which is of ancient mortise and tenon structure. A long time ago, there were many statues of gods enshrined in it, but those statues were long destroyed.

The tower was already sealed off, and the gate was locked with heavy-duty locks. He once found a weakly locked area and climbed inside, and he would climb to the top of the tower, declaring it his own secret hideout as it overlooked the entire stretch of Peony Street.

Lu Yibei hadnt been to the tower for a long time. He followed the path in his memory, climbed into the entrance of the ancient tower and climbed upwards. Perhaps it was because his limbs were longer now, but he found it much easier to climb to the top of the tower, taking him less than five minutes to reach the peak.

After climbing over the fence and jumping into the corridor on the top floor, Lu Yibei patted the dust off his body, and as soon as he looked up, he saw an incredible scene.

The mottled and colourful sunset glow wove half of the sky into a floral-like design. This is why Peony Street was named that way.

However, something else sat by the window of the tower.

A girl in a white dress sat by the edge of the tower, and she seemed to outshine the sheer magnificence of the sunset with her beauty alone.

And all she had to do was sit silently.

Her face was delicate and unspeakably flawless. She had no smile, but her aura hinted at her pleasant nature.

Her eyes were as bright as spring blooms, coupled with the innocence of a cub and the justice of a heroine. The orange rays reflected in her eyes, reflecting a charming yet melancholy gaze.

Even just thinking of her smile makes somebody feel a little giddy.

And her figure was perfect tooher wasp-like waist, her slender legs, her fragrant shoulders, and the loose white dress barely concealing the mountains on her chest

Lu Yibei found that she was fresh and refined yet down-to-earth; she ate her roasted chicken without the need for bowls or utensils, using only her hands to pluck out the meat into small pieces and put it into her mouth, washing it all down with a swig of water.

Who the fuck is this? His sense of reality spoke. Somebody of unknown origin broke into his secret base. If anything, this girl might be an urban legend!

He rolled up his sleeves angrily and was about to step forward to argue with the girl, but he saw the girl turn around, staring at him curiously as she spoke, Would you like something to eat?

He was silent for a few seconds as he rolled his eyes. He stepped forward, squatted beside the girl, tore off a large drumstick, and chowed it down. Then he grabbed a handful of beef and chowed it down as well.

Pfft! You might be a good match, and youre interesting! If I wasnt already engaged, I wouldve dated you.

Oh, so her heart is with somebody else. Then we have nothing to talk about!

By the way, my name is Wikstroemia, and you are?
