{Eh~ So childish!}

Zhou Yun had finally finished paying her respect when she remembered that she was still just a little 7-year old girl! Looking back down at her clothing, Zhou Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Although it looked beautiful and was luxurious, it was inappropriate for her to be wearing it while in the woods, and who was going to see her anyway? Zhou Yun mentally thought that if she could change, she'd rather wear a qipao (A/N: I'll call the child version qipao, and adult version later cheongsam).

Noticing her sudden listlessness, Bo Lin chuckled inwardly. Although the magical beast appeared to be stone faced, he actually had a soft spot for women and children. (A/N: is this the queue for 'awww'-ing?)

"Young Lady, no, Disciple Yun." Bo Lin corrected himself, realising that it was more appropriate, albeit the fact that she was still a small child, to refer to her as disciple due to their new formed relationship. Zhou Yun snapped out of her internal complaints and turned to Bo Lin with curious eyes. "You look restless, is something the matter?"

Zhou Yun mentally jumped. She didn't notice that her face was so readable! Ah~! Stupid Zhou Yun! Look at how you've turned rusty!

"Ehem... Actually, Master Bo Lin..." Zhou Yun's voice trailed off as she realised that what she was about to bring up suddenly sounded really silly! Bo Lin was now curious, and turned bowed down to face level; their eyes met and Zhou Yun was unable to stop herself from speaking her thoughts. "I want to wear something else..."

Bo Lin's expression relaxed and was replaced with amusement as Zhou Yun had a tinge of pink from feeling embarrassed at her idiotic request. Bo Lin merely chucked out loud and returned to his full height.

"Disciple Yun, that's easy! If you wanted something else to wear, just shout it out! We're not a group of stingy elders!" Xi Feng and Zi Lei heard Bo Lin's last sentence, and Xi Feng couldn't help but burst into laughter where as Zi Lei only smiled slightly while shaking his head.

Zhou Yun's spoilt behaviour came out as her eyes sparkled.

"Can you really change my clothing?" Zhou Yun said expectantly, her young voice raised in excitement.

"But of course!" Bo Lin's smile was as bright as the moonlight as he gazed at his little disciple. This young lady is surprisingly adorable! Aside from being her Master, I'll treat her as I would a little sister from now on! Was what was running through Bo Lin's mind.

"Then~ can you make it a qipao?" Zhou Yun asked expectantly. She decided that since her Masters were wearing ancient chinese clothing, it'd be strange if she was wearing western styled ones, so she picked the next best option. Zhou Yun believed that with a qipao, movement wouldn't be restricted, the hem of her clothing wouldn't get dirty from brushing against the ground, and it was highly efficient, in her mind anyway, for martial arts!

"A qipao?" Bo Lin rubbed his chin lightly as he looked away before turning back. "Does it matter what colour?"

"Colour? Ehm... Not at all!" Zhou Yun beamed. Sure, she requested a qipao and her Master was willing, but she shouldn't get that picky, plus, she found all the colours to be nice. If one day, her Master decides to bestow upon her the art that will allow her to change her clothing at will, only then would she be even more picky!

"Good, good!" Bo Lin was suddenly strangely happy and with a quick hand sign, a soft azure Qi floated out from him and enveloped Zhou Yun's body.

Is this the famous 'Qi'? I need to know the ins and outs of this fast! This stuff ain't simple! Zhou Yun couldn't help but think to herself as she let the glow shroud her body.
