CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 460: CHEST BINDING CLOTH

Zhu Haomiao nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, then discreetly looked Ye Wan Ning up and down.

Unsure if it was because she just took a bath or after an intense workout, Li Cang was emanating a faint misty aura all over, with a blush of pink covering her fair skin, and her previously cool and elegant scent now had a touch of sweetness that filled the air despite the table between them.

His gaze finally uncontrollably swept across her ample chest, and after a moment’s hesitation, Zhu Haomiao asked his inner doubt.

"But before I observed that your chest, no, your entire posture and aura were completely different from now!"

This couldn’t be explained by an alteration in demeanor alone, as Li Cang’s facial lines appeared less rigid and more gentle.

Before Li Cang could explain, Ye Wan Ning couldn’t help chiming in.

"That’s because she always wore a piece of True Object before, which I named ’Hua Mulan’s Chest Wrap’!"

"Hua Mulan’s Chest Wrap?"

"Yes, when this True Object is wrapped around it can hide female features, and also make the wearer more masculine, to a certain extent distorting the observer’s perception, making people subconsciously think she is male."

It sounds somewhat similar to Sloth’s Psychology Invisibility...

Rubbing his chin, Zhu Haomiao nodded slightly, recalling his awkward and conflicted perceptions from the first few times they met.

On one hand, the True Object chest wrap altered his perception, but on the other hand, his Lust reflexively saw through this illusion, which caused him to react to Li Cang...

Thus, reason and emotion were at odds, with one constantly reminding of the gender while the other stirred innate desire!

This is why he occasionally felt contradictory and conflicted during their interactions!

On the other side, not noticing Zhu Haomiao’s expression of realization, Ye Wan Ning sighed in regret.

"It’s a shame that when I came back to wash my underwear today, I accidentally tossed her chest wrap into the washing machine, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?!"

"Uh... otherwise, I could have avoided another beating..."

"Hmph, otherwise you could continue to watch the fun, right?"

"Nonsense, how can you groundlessly tarnish someone’s innocence?!"

Giving Ye Wan Ning a cold sidelong glance, Li Cang withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhu Haomiao, explaining leisurely.

"You seem to have a perception that sees through the essence of things."

"In everyone else’s eyes, I am a 100% pure man, but in your eyes, you can see through the surface and perceive my female side."

"However, you cannot completely see through, so seeing your left brain fighting your right brain, this fellow’s mischievous side erupted entirely..."

"Deliberately leading you into the pit!"

Saying this, Li Cang glared at Ye Wan Ning once again, rolling her eyes with annoyance, secretly muttering.

Just like a child bullying the person they like...

A truly twisted madwoman...

Meanwhile, facing Zhu Haomiao’s sharp gaze, Ye Wan Ning awkwardly laughed, skillfully playing cute and acting dumb.

"Oh come on, the past is the past, we should all unite and look forward..."

"I’m hungry, let’s eat! Let’s eat!"

Upon hearing this, the little loli nearby, who was drooling, lit up her eyes and squealed.

"Food!"

Seeing them devouring their food, Zhu Haomiao had no choice but to drop the subject. After the dishes had gone around three times and everyone had slowed down, he continued.

"Why did Cangcang always wear that chest wrap, just to pretend to be a couple with your senior sister?"

This cost is too great, and there is no need for it...

"Oh, no, it’s not for that reason, she has a set of Golden Sacred Armor. But before it’s completely refined, that thing can’t change according to her will to suit her figure..."

At this point, Ye Wan Ning looked at Li Cang gloatingly.

"Her chest is too big to fit in."

Zhu Haomiao: "..."

Subconsciously glancing at the imposing chest only slightly less than Ye Wan Ning’s, Zhu Haomiao nodded in realization.

"What are you looking at?!"

Li Cang glared at Zhu Haomiao angrily, a mix of disdain and subtle shyness on her face that made hearts unexpectedly flutter.

Brother Li, uh no, Sister Li, don’t be like this, the more you resist, the more excited I get!!

With subtle pink light glimmering in his eyes, Zhu Haomiao quickly calmed his mind, focusing his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

No lust!

No lust!

Restrain Lust, Dao Heart +2

Phew~

It was not until the Book of Black reacted that Zhu Haomiao let out a sigh of relief, but then turned to hear Ye Wan Ning continuing to expose her good friend’s secrets.

"Additionally, there’s another important reason for her wearing the chest wrap."

"Because she follows the Martial path, every time she fights with vigorous movements, it would shake violently!"

"So actually, before obtaining the Golden Sacred Armor, she was used to wearing the chest wrap."

"By chance later, she got that special True Object."

"Otherwise, I’m telling you, when she fights, it’s like an earthquake, DuangDuangDuang!"

Zhu Haomiao: "..."

With Ye Wan Ning’s schadenfreude words echoing in his ears and her exaggerated gestures, a vivid image formed in Zhu Haomiao’s mind.

"Ye! Wan! Ning!!!"

As the irate Li Cang dealt with Ye Wan Ning, Zhu Haomiao snapped back to reality from his fantasies, his peripheral vision uncontrollably drawn to the two messing around.

Brother Li!

It’s not that I don’t believe you; I just wanted to see for myself!

Sensitively aware of the young man’s gaze, Li Cang froze, instinctively crossing her arms over her chest.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing! I’m pondering a problem!"

With righteous seriousness, Zhu Haomiao lifted his head, presented a serious expression, his eyes deep as if he was indeed contemplating an important matter.

Seeing this, Li Cang slightly relaxed, warily sat down slowly.

"If there’s any issue, speak out, and let’s analyze it together."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao quickly thought, his eyes whirling before nodding worriedly.

"Today, I entered a very special Illusion Realm..."

Detailing his previous experiences, a fascinating series of events indeed captured their attention.

"Angel, God, Demon..."

"Your opponents are really... frighteningly strong..."

Looking at Zhu Haomiao with an indescribable expression, Li Cang and Ye Wan Ning’s eyes were full of sympathy.

On the side, the black-clothed youth remained indifferent, his thoughts occupied with another matter entirely.

"So, what do you think that Holy Grail really is? I always felt like there was something off about it!"

"Oh? It’s a large magic technique without a will of its own, how could there be anything wrong?"

"I don’t know, just instinctively feel something’s not right."

Upon discussing the serious matter, Zhu Haomiao also gathered his thoughts and earnestly began contemplating.

On the other side, Ye Wan Ning and Li Cang exchanged glances, the entire room fell into brief silence, leaving only the sound of Diao Chan munching.
