Ch. 14 Clothes

"Why did you take off your mask?" Ling Xi ask, glaring at the person on his side.

"ah, i like the smell of jealousy." Cheng Li joke, even breathing in loudly.

"No, I'm not jealous but your getting all the attention, it's making me mad." while clenching his hand in annoyance. This man is still shameless.

They are currently walking to the tailor shop, Cheng Li decided that to fit in nicely, they have to dress and act like the locals do.

Their are so many ready made robes and pants that all they would do is choose. That is when Ling Xi realised, the man on his side is really narcissistic.

"This one would be good for you." Ling Xi recommends, holding a pale blue robe and a white pants.

"No. I would look ugly with that."

"How about this one?" this time a dark green robe.

"No."

"This one?" a white robe with silver embroidery on the edges.

"That one is nice. I'll get it."

"Finally!" Ling Xi exclaimed. If the attendant are not in here he would shout hallelujah.

"Then, i have to pick ten more." Cheng Li says making Ling Xi nearly cry. He already picked his clothes even picking thirty pieces of it like an hour ago while Cheng Li takes an hour on picking just a single outfit and he wants ten!.

"Can you assist him and just wake me up when he finally found some clothes." he tells the attendant making her giggle.

"Are you a couple?" She asked looking at the two of them, one in the mirror while the other one is in the sofa lying down.

The man currently picking his clothes is clearly the top, he is cold, domineering, tall and handsome. 'If Ling Xi would hear what the attendant is thinking, he would surely laugh or cry. What cold? That man is so shameless'. The man currently lying on the sofa is the bottom, he is delicate and pale, wearing a soft smile on his cute face—he is cute and even can be called pretty, doe like eyes with long eyelashes, a cute button nose and a small yet plump lips. His cheeks are still a little bit fat, sign that he is still young.

After hearing the question, Ling Xi and Cheng Li look at each other before answering at the same time.

"Yes" Cheng Li

"No" Ling Xi.

When Cheng Li heard Ling Xi's answer, he narrowed his eyes, making a mental note again 'ha! See how i straighten you when we go home. You have the guts to deny me?'

Feeling the murderous aura from Cheng Li pointing directly at him, Ling Xi shivers before taking his answer back.

"I mean, we are a couple. Right Cheng Li?" before smiling brightly. His life is at stake, he had to surrender.

Cheng Li choose his other clothes in a faster pace this time. Before lunch, all their clothes are safely packages and put away in Ling Xi's spatial bag. They are walking and looking for something to eat when Ling Xi stops before holding Cheng Li's hand gesturing to the display clothes in one of the stores.

"That robe would look good on you." Ling Xi commented before going inside to see. The clothes that they are selling in this store had a better quality than the previous one. They bought the black with red lining outfit before choosing another one. They both brought additional ten outfit each before going out to eat.

"I need to earn money." Ling Xi says, breaking the silence, Cheng Li stops chewing, chopsticks still on his mouth looking at him like he is insane.

"I can support you." he kindly tells him before starting to eat again, clearly the conversation is over.

"No."

"Are you saying that i can't support you?" he stops eating and ask again, this time his gaze is so cold it could freeze anything. He is clearly insulted.

"No, not that, of course I know you can support me but i had to earn some." Ling Xi speaks softly, Life people! His life. He have to unruffled Cheng Li's feathers for him to have comfortable days ahead.

"But why do you have to?" Cheng Li questions, still unhappy.

"To prepare for our future." forget it, he has to go all out to make the great god to agree.

Cheng Li stays silent, not agreeing but not contradicting either. A good start. He is clearly contemplating the pros and cons of him earning some money.

"You can sell some medicinal pill." Cheng Li recommended. His answer makes Ling Xi happy.

"But, you can't sell some yet, wait for you to enter the Xianghai sect before you can." that comment dampers Ling Xi spirit but he knows that if he start selling those mid-grade level one medicinal pill, someone would surely investigate and without the sect as a cover up the medicinal garden and his pocket dimension would surely be discovered. And besides, he has to practice and became a level one alchemy before the selection started. The sect requirement for alchemy is level one alchemist.

"What is your cultivation right now?" he ask Cheng Li still concentrating on eating his food.

"I'm a sixth core formation stage, i might breakthrough to first loose immoral if I'm going in a close door cultivation again." Cheng Li informed him.

"You been gone for like a week and you breakthrough so many levels already?" Ling Xi ask in disbelief, what kind of monstrosity talent is that?

"Forgot to tell you, my pocket dimension had a special features, a day outside is a month inside, so I've been cultivating for almost seven months to attain my cultivation right now."

"But still…no change that. what would you do if the sect would not accept you?" he asked. He decided to not talk about his cultivation again, it makes him look so insignificant compared to the person on his front.

"I can suppress and hide my cultivation to become a second qi condensation stage. I don't like to be known as genius but we don't have to be so weak for them to bully." Cheng Li says, pointing at their plan.

'ha! I look to see who could bully this great god. If someone does, he became my hero.' Ling Xi thinks to himself before nodding at what Cheng Li is saying.
