The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 117

Ruan Li didn't catch what Luo Qingci said. Instinctively, she turned her head to ask, but her peripheral vision immediately caught sight of Luo Qingci already removing half of her inner garment. It was clear that she was actually changing clothes.

Her mind was suddenly filled with rage. "Shameless!" She spat out these words and rushed out of the cave in a panic, practically fleeing.

Luo Qingci looked at the cave entrance where Ruan Li had disappeared, her eyes showing a mix of tenderness and pain.

Perhaps having been too focused, she felt a bit of pain in her eyes. She lowered her gaze to herself, murmuring, "Will you be jealous like this?"

Thinking about the -1.1 affection level, Luo Qingci's lips struggled to curl into a faint smile as she answered herself, "Of course she's jealous—petty and stubborn."

With that, she quietly removed her inner garment. Glancing at the wound on her right shoulder, she noted that the bleeding had stopped, but the sword wound on her white skin still looked rather gruesome.

Luo Qingci didn't mind much. As long as she applied the purple jade ointment, it would heal quickly. She changed into the clean inner garment and then turned her attention to the ochre-colored outerwear she had taken out earlier. This outfit was custom-made for her by Cheng Su and had never been worn before.

Being Luo Qingci, her clothes were all handled by Zeyuan, and her original persona was aloof and indifferent. All her clothes were predominantly simple and white. Over time, she rarely wore other colors.

She had only worn light purple and light blue in her memories.

Now, there was no need for excessive concealment. She had a little secret and decided to wear this outfit today.

The ochre-colored garment was pale and delicate, like the color of young mulberry and willow leaves, complementing her skin tone very well. The outer garment was light and soft, hanging gracefully. Its simplicity and elegance made it look lively and ethereal.

After tying up her long hair and inserting two white jade hairpins, she looked down and adjusted her collar.

Ruan Li seemed to have grown impatient waiting. She returned at some point and spoke in a feigned annoyed tone, "Have you changed...yet?"

Hearing her voice, Luo Qingci instinctively raised her head. Ruan Li saw Luo Qingci standing in the middle of the simple and spacious cave, dressed in the new ochre-colored outfit. Everything else was blurred out, leaving only her visible. Her words instantly faltered.

She had never seen Luo Qingci like this before. Just now, when Luo Qingci looked up, there was an unexpected expression on her face. The coldness in her demeanor softened somewhat. The clothing, which was like clouds and mist, matched the cool and gentle hue of the ochre color, perfectly enhancing her appearance. This person, in such clothes, was outstanding and impeccable in every way.

Ruan Li was stunned. She even forgot who she was at the moment. Her gaze followed Luo Qingci, her heart racing as if something suppressed within her was about to break free. She murmured unconsciously, "Master."

"Ding, Luo Qingci's affection level +99."

Luo Qingci was both amused and relieved. She was sure that her little dragon cub was still there. Even though the malevolent presence was currently dominant, the strange affection level unique to that lovable and exasperating little dragon remained unchanged.

Luo Qingci felt a warm joy in her heart but still maintained a facade of reserve, saying calmly："I'm done changing."

Seeing Ruan Li still unable to tear her eyes away, Luo Qingci didn't say anything more. She walked past her and exited the cave.
