After breakfast, Katherine quickly grabbed Luqing's empty plates, making her wake everyone up instead.
"Alex, wake up. It's the morning now." Luqing whispered as she gently knocked on the door.
"Okay."
Heading down, Luqing arrived at Sophia's room door, knocking gently as she waited for their response.
"Mary, wake up."
"Just a few more minutes..."
The two kids from inside indicated to Luqing that one of them was already awake, so she headed back to her temporary room.
Entering inside, Meiya was still peacefully sleeping on the bed as if nothing happened.
"Mom... It's time to get up."
After shaking for a bit, Meiya finally woke up from the bed, still looking a little exhausted like earlier.
"Okay, I'm getting up..."
---
After everyone woke up and finished their breakfast, Katherine and Meiya revealed their plans to go shopping.
The kids thought for a second, then decided to tag along.
"Mom, where are we going to shopping?" Mary curiously asked as the six of them walked on the streets.
"To the other commercial side of the school. You guys probably haven't seen it before."
"The school is so big."
Alex commented as he began to realize the school almost felt like a whole functional city.
"Yeah, it's big... There are places that even I still haven't gone to before, even though I have been here for years now."
As the six of them arrived at the commercial area, Katherine was met with a familiar face.
"Hey, Emily!"
A young woman stood next to a little boy, holding his hands as if she were the babysitter.
"Hey Katherine, are you going shopping?"
"Yeah... Who's this little fellow? Your kid?" Katherine curiously asked as Meiya and Luqing entered a nearby shop on their own.
"Hell no. How can I have a kid when you know I'm forever single... This is my younger brother.
His name is Will... Come on, don't be shy. Say hello to Sister Katherine."
After Emily pushes the little boy to the front, he finally seems to overcome his shyness.
"Hello, Sister Katherine."
"Hello, Will. Nice to meet you."
As Katherine stretched out her hand for a handshake, Will was too shy to stretch his hands out as he stood behind Emily.
"Man, I wish my brother wasn't as shy as your kids."
Emily murmured as she looked towards the three who were distracted by a nearby water fountain.
"How old is he?"
"Only six."
"Emily, of course, the kid is going to be shy. He's only six, you silly." Katherine argued.
"I mean, your kids are only level 1 mages, right? They don't look that old either."
"The youngest one is already eight. Also, my kids are already level 2 mages."
As soon as Katherine finished flexing it out loud, her face looked extremely proud.
"Really? Actually, what clothes do cultivators usually wear?" Katherine curiously asked as she took out her key to the door.
"It's all over the place, but the one I was at usually wears a Zhongyi with a robe over it."
"What's a Zhongyi?" Mary curiously asked as Katherine unlocked the door.
"It's a type of cloth that looks similar to a bathrobe, but it's more meant for outdoor instead."
"Okay, make sure you grab the right bag."
As Katherine pulled out all the bags from the pocket dimension, half of the living room was almost full.
After everyone had taken their bags, they all headed back to their rooms before putting them on.
When everyone stepped out of their room, everyone was a little stunned by the other person.
Alex's eyes were glued to Luqing and Meiya's new clothes, which were much more revealing than their fully covered clothes.
"Meiya, you look like you have just reached your twenties in this dress." Katherine complimented.
"Thanks. Your dress looks pretty nice, too."
"Luqing, your dress fits you so well!" Sophia complimented as she and Mary walked over to examine it closer.
"How does it fit you so well? It's like this dress is meant for you."
Mary murmured, her eyes full of jealousy as she wanted to buy one herself.
"Thank you..."
As Luqing's face became fully blushing for the first time, Alex remained silent as he sat on the sofa with his bags.
He didn't really need to change, as all of his clothes were the same but slightly different in color or undergarments.
"Alex, what do you think of Luqing's clothes?" Katherine suddenly asked, her voice hinting at jealousy.
"It looks great. I think it compliments her body shapes perfectly."
Alex's straightforward reply made Katherine frown for a little while before it all disappeared.
Meanwhile, Luqing stood still after hearing his reply. Her brain had almost frozen as she couldn't believe what he had just said.
"Ahem, okay. Let's go try out the other clothes from the bag..."
An hour later...
As all the bags were now put away, Alex's mind had changed completely. He no longer regrets going shopping a single bit.
His mind was filled with all the girls in their new clothes and dresses with unique styles.
Especially Luqing, who had always been extremely conservative ever since he had met her.
Not even just conservative.
He had only seen her wear the fully covered maid uniform or the whole naked incident in the shower.
"Mom, I'm starving! We had skipped lunch completely."
Mary complained as Sophia and her stomach already growled several times on the way back.
"I know, I know. I'm going to go cook dinner right now."
"Let me help you, Katherine."
As Luqing headed toward the kitchen, Meiya turned her attention towards the three kids.
"Mary, let's go take a shower before eating."
"Okay!"
With Sophia and Mary both leaving, Alex and Meiya both remained on the sofa as they had eye contact for a second.
"Alex, are you interested in my daughter?" Meiya suddenly suggested out of nowhere.
"W-What did you s-say?"
Alex stuttered several times in a row, unable to believe what Meiya had just suggested.
