“Let me impersonate Mother Superior?”
Luo Dan’er, who had been admiring the charming face of her young Mother Superior and was on the verge of planting a kiss, suddenly jumped up.
“No, what kind of idea is that?”
“The difference between Dan’er and Mother Superior is like the moon and a firefly. How could I possibly play Mother Superior well?”
“No, no, this plan absolutely won’t work.”
She shook her head repeatedly, as if from the bottom of her heart convinced that this plan was impossible.
“Why not?” Li Muqun clicked his tongue, making a circle with his fingers as he gestured back and forth between the two of them.
“If it were the outside Luozhilan, you might not be able to pass for her, but this memory of young Luozhilan, to be honest, the only difference between you two is—”
Li Muqun suddenly cut off his voice.
Luo Dan’er, who was particularly interested when hearing anything about Mother Superior and herself, was just about to get curious when Li Muqun started teasing her with suspense, causing her brows to furrow as she urged:
“What is it? Hurry up and say it.”
“Alright, then I’ll say it.”
Li Muqun pursed his lips, withdrew his hands, and placed them on his chest.
“The only difference is probably that the foundation here is a bit shallow.”
“The foundation here?” Luo Dan’er vaguely lowered her head to look at her own chest, then glanced at the chest of the fainted Mother Superior lying on the ground.
Suddenly, she realized what Li Muqun meant by ‘foundation’ and blushed deeply, standing there shy and angry, unsure how to respond.
At that moment, Li Muqun took the initiative to approach, wearing a serious expression as he said:
“Don’t be discouraged, Dan’er Miss! This is a minor problem; the lacking parts we can make up for.”
“In short, the situation is urgent and there’s no other way. This honorable yet daunting task can only be entrusted to Comrade Luo Dan’er!”
Upon hearing Li Muqun’s words, Luo Dan’er’s face flushed even deeper, as if she might start dripping water at any moment.
She stomped her foot in shyness and anger, shouting at Li Muqun:
“You, you, you shameless scoundrel!”
“Today, I refuse to do as you say! Let’s see what you can do to me!”
After all, Luo Dan’er’s mind was still that of a child, and her stubborn temper flared up.
Regardless of the circumstances, she turned away indignantly, acting as if she wanted to sever ties with Li Muqun once and for all.
“Let’s see what I can do to you, huh? Fine! That’s exactly what I wanted to hear!”
Li Muqun paid no heed to Luo Dan’er’s curses, a sinister smile playing on his lips as he turned his back and snapped his fingers sharply:
“Zuo Qiuli, begin! Since Dan’er Miss refuses to do it gracefully, then we’ll make it graceful for her!”
“Received!”
Just as the words fell, accompanied by a soft giggle, before Luo Dan’er could react, a streak of azure aura enveloped both her and the fainted young Luozhilan on the ground.
“No, I don’t want to!”
From the azure aura came Luo Dan’er’s wails and the rustling sound of clothes being shed, clutching her chest as she struggled to stand.
Li Muqun counted to ten silently with his fingers, then turned around to see Luo Dan’er dressed in the pure white Daoist robe of young Luozhilan, while the fainted young Luozhilan was now wearing the pink long dress Luo Dan’er usually wore.
His gaze scrutinized the figure clutching her chest and swaying unsteadily.
Hmm, she looks exactly like the young Luozhilan just now. Zuo Qiuli’s work is quite meticulous, knowing to add a little padding. But is the setting on this modifier a bit too high?
Oh well, better high than low! Good job, Zuo Qiuli!
He gave a thumbs-up to the humanoid form of Zuo Qiuli standing nearby, nodding in satisfaction.
She returned the gesture silently.
The adult world—everything understood without words.
Li Muqun turned his head and picked up the still unconscious young Luozhilan. He looked at Luo Dan’er earnestly as he explained:
“All right, someone will probably come looking for you soon. Just follow them.”
“Remember, less is more! If someone asks a question you can’t answer, just say you’ve been practicing the Divine Sense Cultivation Method these days, and your mind is a bit chaotic, but it’ll get better after a while.”
“In short, you don’t have to imitate perfectly; just stall these people long enough for us to find clues about the target.”
At the same time, Zuo Qiuli sent a strand of azure aura, which attached to Luo Dan’er.
“This is one of my Divided Souls. It can transmit sound over a thousand miles, connecting directly to my mind. If anything urgent happens, just call my name in your heart, and I’ll hear it.”
With that, giving Luo Dan’er no chance to ask more, the two of them carried the young Luozhilan and vanished from her sight in an instant.
“Li Muqun! Zuo Qiuli!” Luo Dan’er stood there, lightly biting her teeth: “Once this is over, I will make you two treacherous scoundrels pay a hundredfold!”
She cursed in the direction they disappeared, when suddenly a gentle, anxious female voice came from behind:
“Miss, we finally found you! Why are you hiding alone in a place like this?”
Panicked, she turned around to see a palace maid with a worried expression standing beneath an ancient tree. The woman sighed and grabbed her pale wrist firmly, as if scolding but also reminding her, speaking sincerely:
“Let’s hurry back. The Palace Master specially invited a Dan Dao Grandmaster from the distant Penglai Immortal Mountain today to answer your questions. I heard this person has a bad temper. If you upset them, the Palace Master will blame you again!”
“Um… okay.”
Luo Dan’er was confused by the explanation but could only nod and follow the maid.
The maid froze for a moment. The carefully prepared “Three Thousand Objections” stuck in her throat, unable to be uttered. She looked at Luo Dan’er in disbelief.
The Miss actually didn’t refute me? She didn’t refute me today?!
In disbelief, she reached out to touch Luo Dan’er’s forehead, feeling her spiritual power, then silently scanned her Divine Sense.
Except for the somewhat cumbersome chest, this is definitely the Miss’s spiritual power.
This is strange indeed. Could it be that she has suddenly changed her nature just now?
Or is she under so much pressure that her mind isn’t quite right?
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she spoke with concern:
“Pardon my words, but the Palace Master usually is a bit too harsh with Miss. However, all this is to help you focus on your cultivation so you can shoulder great responsibilities in the future and inherit the Palace Master’s position.”
“You’re still young, so it’s normal to have some grievances. If there’s anything bothering you or any difficulties, you can tell me. Don’t keep it all bottled up inside.”
“I-I understand…”
Luo Dan’er nodded softly, thinking how Mother Superior would respond at a time like this.
Hmm, Mother Superior was so gentle, pure, and aloof before.
Surely, when she was young, she must have been a delicate, adorable, sensible, and empathetic little girl, just like Dan’er!
So, she pretended to be weak and fragile, speaking in a high, clear voice: “Zhilan won’t make that mistake again.”
For a moment, the maid’s previously concerned face suddenly parted her lips, eyes wide with terror.
She took several steps back and scolded Luo Dan’er sharply:
“You, you fiend, have possessed our Miss’s body!”
“Get out of Miss’s body immediately!”
“W-what?!”
Now, it was Luo Dan’er’s turn to be stunned speechless.
