Chapter 265 I am a little fish (20)
Tonight's experience was too rich. Although he had learned a simple cleaning spell, Jingli still felt sticky after leaving the city lord's mansion. So he asked the waiter to fetch water and prepared to wash himself.
The layout of inns in the cultivation world is already very similar to that of modern ones. Rooms above the "人" size have independent washing and grooming spaces, and are even equipped with highly clear mirrors.
It was precisely because of this mirror that Jingli saw her current attire—
Her long, silvery-white hair was simply combed up in half and casually tied up with a red hairpin that matched the ends of her hair. Behind her ears were two red, scale-like decorations about the size of half a palm.
His robes were made of pure white silk, similar in color to his hair, forming a continuous piece that rippled like water with the slightest movement. Though not transparent, they created a sense of ethereal beauty.
The front of the dress is slit diagonally to the waist, revealing a beautiful and delicate collarbone, like a mountain range on a lonely island in the water. A light gauze, like a crimson sunset, hangs down from the shoulders to the wrists. It is thin and transparent, with pearls the size of little fingers adorning the corners of the gauze. The pearls seem to contain flames, flickering and lingering.
A bright red silk ribbon, about the width of a hand, wrapped around her waist three times, perfectly outlining her slender figure. The hem of her garment was extremely wide below her waist, yet it was also very open, revealing her snow-white thighs with the slightest movement.
But above the knees, a light veil of rosy clouds veils the figure, white and red intertwined, like a woman half-concealing her face, stirring the imagination. Below the knees are bare calves, clad in wooden clogs.
It seems like some naive and mischievous spirit has wandered into the human world to play.
Perhaps because this outfit was created by Meng Li using magic, Jing Li did not feel anything was wrong with it.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I was almost embarrassed. Then, remembering Ah Huo's words and look before I left, my face turned bright red.
That guy deliberately didn't remind him! He let him stay in that pose until he came back!
Jingli was furious and somewhat impotently enraged. He only had this one set of clothes, which was not enough to break Meng Li's spell. He had no choice but to ask 6058 for help. Lu Mingguang found a few simple clothes at Baiyunque and sent them to him through the observer system.
Jingli didn't dare put the clothes into the system. He couldn't imagine what 6058 would think if it saw this set, so he respectfully folded the clothes and placed them by the bed, waiting for Meng Li to come back before doing anything about it.
After washing and changing his clothes, Jingli meditated in the inn all night, feeling refreshed. The next day, Meng Li had not yet returned, so Jingli secretly slipped out and used the spirit stones that Lu Mingguang had given him when he delivered the clothes to wander around Lingxiao City. He finally got to taste the delicacies of the cultivation world.
Compared to the food in the mortal world, the ingredients in the cultivation world are richer in spiritual energy. Even without complicated seasonings, they taste very good. Jingli and 6058 discussed collecting more ingredients in this world so that they could try them if they ever felt craving them in the future.
Besides eating and shopping, Jingli also gained some information during the day.
The news from last night's events at the City Lord's Mansion hasn't spread yet, but a few diners were discussing matters concerning mortals.
"How many were sent in yesterday? Is the city lord satisfied?"
"The fact that it hasn't come out means it's already in use. These goods are hard to find, and we wanted to keep a few for ourselves."
"Mortals, as long as you say you can lead them into the Dao, they'll come as soon as you beckon."
The group laughed and talked, seemingly unconcerned.
Such disgusting cultivation methods are actually tacitly approved in Lingxiao City, at least among those in the camp that are on good terms with the city lord...
Jingli felt a little nauseous, but he could only pretend to be passing by, since his current abilities were not enough to challenge the power of an entire city.
Besides these, many more cultivators in the city were discussing the opening of the Spirit Puppet Burial Mound in a few days.
As they had anticipated, many monks were prepared to try and get a share of the spoils.
The exchange of consumables such as magical artifacts, elixirs, and talismans takes place on the street closest to the foot of Lingxiao Sect Mountain, and many outer disciples have come down the mountain to make purchases today.
"We have fifty spots available for this blessed land, and they say even we outer disciples will have a chance to participate!"
"I heard that the Sword Master Xuan Shuang is leading the team this time, and several senior brothers and sisters from the Sword Sect will be with them. With them around, we will have fewer worries."
"This blessed land is said to open only once! There are bound to be many opportunities!"
"Ah, I don't seek great wealth or high status, I'm not greedy, a little bit of luck is enough, hehe!"
……
The outer disciples' clothes looked familiar, a pine-green ink-wash style—wasn't that Ah Huo's outfit from that day?
Ah Huo's clothes were a vibrant blue-green, and the ink-wash patterns were more intricate than theirs.
Each sect has its own uniform attire, with colors or decorations used to distinguish ranks. It seems that Ah Huo is also a member of the Lingxiao Sect, or even an inner disciple.
Jingli found it somewhat amusing. According to the original timeline, Chunqi was the senior disciple of Misty Mountain. Now that he has returned, how come he has come to another sect?
He shook his head, wondering what Chunqi or Ah Huo were planning. Judging from what happened yesterday, they seemed to have a relationship with Meng Li and meant him no harm, so he stopped thinking about it and went back to the inn with the meatballs he had packed.

Meng Li also reappeared in the inn before dusk, in Jing Li's room.
Still dressed in black, covering half her face, her weakness vanished, and Jingli vaguely sensed that she had advanced to a higher realm.
However, when she appeared, Jingli was not meditating, had not finished eating the vegetable dumplings, and had not changed out of her simple clothes. The clothes that Mengli had given her were still folded on the bed, which made Jingli feel a little at a loss.
He held a meatball in one hand and a bamboo skewer in the other, biting his lower lip, staring blankly at Meng Li who had suddenly appeared, and awkwardly chuckled twice.
"Fairy, you're back."
Meng Li raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms: "The spirit stones Fen Chun gave you?"
Jingli choked for a moment, then realized that Mengli had assumed that the clothes she was wearing were also new ones she had bought that day because she was holding the food she had bought.
Jingli feigned ignorance and asked, "Who is Fenchun?"
"The one from yesterday."
"Oh." Jingli nodded and said nothing more.
“That guy was pretty good to you,” Meng Li said, not bothering to pursue the matter further. She gestured with her chin towards Jing Li, “Who gave you those clothes that made you disappear yesterday?”
Jingli had completely forgotten about this, and realizing he couldn't fool her, he could only hang his head and say, "It's one of my secrets."
The observer system functions similarly to Qiankun, so this will make it easier to explain things later.
"Did you possess this from the moment you became a demon?"
"Ah."
That's not exactly a lie, since the observer system was something he brought with him when he came to the small world.
Meng Li let out a soft breath: "The power of merit, innate inheritance, and the ability to control the universe... No wonder it is a demon cultivated from a koi fish."
She beckoned to Jingli: "Come here."

Meng Li: Your boyfriend gave you the money?
YuYu: Huh? In this world, he probably doesn't count as a boyfriend yet. (Serious face)
Yuanyuan: I'll count as my husband!
