Chapter 3: Obtaining Clothes

A long time ago, Su Yun realized a certain truth.

The world is vast, so vast it’s beyond imagination.

There are countless beautiful things in it.

But only by living can one have the chance to witness and experience them.

If people weren’t born to pursue happiness,

Then their coming into this world would be for nothing.

It’s just that she was quite unlucky.

In both her lives, she could barely scrape by.

Yet even so, she never gave up on living.

After all, only by living are there infinite possibilities.

Once dead, there’s nothing at all.

Many people find life bitter because they only see the bitterness.

Back then, even when Su Yun was paralyzed, undergoing chemotherapy every day and feeding through tubes, she could still find things that brought her joy.

She could even stare blankly at the ceiling all day without feeling bored.

Therefore, even though Mo Qingqing was making things difficult for her at this moment, she could still silently hum a little tune in her heart, her body swaying in a barely noticeable dance.

Mo Qingqing, on the other hand, was in a room filled with potions, studying Su Yun’s blood.

Though she’d expected it, she couldn’t help but marvel once she actually began the research.

Just a trace of the power of the Law of Life granted Su Yun a terrifying regeneration ability.

That rich life energy only needed the slightest stimulus to form strange lifeforms.

Mo Qingqing wanted to understand the law behind it.

But her rank was too low, and she could never see anything clearly.

After several hours of research, Mo Qingqing finally gave up for the time being.

She rubbed her slightly aching temples.

Forcibly touching the laws was a huge drain on her soul.

Usually, at times like this, she would choose to take a nap.

But this time, she decided to try out her newly acquired Su Yun.

With a thought, Su Yun, who was tidying up in the basement, suddenly felt something.

She hesitated a little, unsure if it was just her imagination.

But she didn’t dare to risk it and could only carefully run to the basement entrance, poking out half her head to sneak a peek.

Seeing Mo Qingqing staring at her, she knew it wasn’t her imagination and hurried over.

“Master, did you call for me?”

Su Yun’s voice was soft and weak, light as a feather, with a childlike lilt.

Mo Qingqing felt a wave of contentment in her heart as she listened.

Looking at Su Yun, she still hadn’t put on any clothes; her skin was snowy-white and crystal-clear, looking just like a little cake.

There were even two little peaches made of cream on top.

Feeling Mo Qingqing’s scrutinizing gaze,

Su Yun’s little face instantly turned bright red.

Though her face tingled, she didn’t dare to cover up.

Her two chubby, lotus-like hands twisted nervously in front of her belly.

“Come closer.” Mo Qingqing shifted forward a bit.

Su Yun quickly stepped up to Mo Qingqing.

Mo Qingqing reached out and grasped Su Yun’s slender waist.

Both hands together could almost encircle Su Yun’s entire waist.

Su Yun’s small hands hovered awkwardly in the air.

She had no idea what Mo Qingqing intended to do.

Maybe… maybe she wanted to cut her open directly—that wasn’t impossible.

Thinking of this, Su Yun’s little face went a bit pale and her body tensed up.

“So tiny…” Mo Qingqing muttered under her breath.

Right now, Su Yun wasn’t even as tall as Mo Qingqing while she was sitting.

It felt a bit disappointing.

She’d thought she’d get a burly fellow who could withstand more experiments.

That way, she could do more, like peeling off all the skin to see if it could stretch infinitely.

Or swapping the bones for magitek weapons to see if they’d fuse or reject each other.

But Su Yun’s body was too petite, she couldn’t fit anything in…

At most, she could cut off a limb, collect some blood and organs.

Still, being small had its advantages.

And she was very cute.

Great for relieving stress.

“Squat down.”

Su Yun quickly squatted down.

Then, Mo Qingqing reached out and patted Su Yun’s little head, rubbing her ears and tail.

It felt wonderful.

Su Yun’s fur was soft, smooth, and fluffy.

Her hair was more like downy fuzz, light and airy.

The color was very pleasing too.

A gradient from blue to pink.

It not only looked sweet, but also felt comforting.

As Su Yun felt Mo Qingqing’s touch, she knew the other saw her as a pet.

If it were the past, she’d surely be angry.

But now…

“Being a pet is great… Pets can have it easier!”

Her big fluffy tail wagged freely now that she was relaxed.

For a canine type like the Fox Tribe, their moods were just too easy to read.

After a while of rubbing, Mo Qingqing felt much better.

“That wardrobe… If it’s not that one, find it yourself. I remember there’s a maid outfit. Go put it on.” Mo Qingqing let go of Su Yun.

“Thank you, Master…” Su Yun whispered her thanks, then ran over.

Sure enough, in that wardrobe, there was a maid outfit that had been there for ages.

Mo Qingqing’s master had given it to her long ago, but she’d never found a servant.

Now, it could finally be tossed to Su Yun to wear.

The clothes looked huge at first, but once put on, they would automatically fit the wearer’s body.

Though the underwear, short skirt, and white garter stockings felt odd to wear,

It was still better than nothing.

And it had a hole left for the tail, so it didn’t have to be tucked under the skirt.

“Not bad.” Mo Qingqing nodded.

Very pleasing to the eye.

“Do you know how to cook?”

“A little…” Su Yun didn’t dare to brag.

She had a chef’s certificate in her previous life,

But it had been years since she’d cooked anything.

“Go make two dishes.” Mo Qingqing said.

After a busy half day, she was a bit hungry.

“Yes…”

Just thinking about delicious food, Su Yun couldn’t help but swallow.

After all, she hadn’t eaten anything decent for four days.

Where she was before, even the grass roots had been eaten clean.

Her body was so frail she couldn’t compete with the other disaster victims.

But now, at least she could reliably eat Mo Qingqing’s leftovers.

Su Yun was very self-aware.

She knew perfectly well Mo Qingqing would never eat with her.

“Forgive my boldness, may I ask if you prefer vegetarian or meat dishes?” Su Yun asked in a small voice, head bowed.

“One of each, staple is rice.” Mo Qingqing said.

She didn’t expect Su Yun to make anything special.

She herself was used to gnawing on bread.

She just wanted Su Yun to give it a try.

Who knows, maybe something edible would come out of it?

If not, she could always hang her up for a beating and go back to bread.

To be honest, those two little peaches looked quite appetizing….

Mo Qingqing shook her head, annoyed, staring at the ceiling.

She really was hungry, she wanted to eat anything.

Still… it should be delicious.
