Under the sunlight, the crystal shoes shimred with a splendid luster, as impeccable as precious jade.
Yu Youhan’s eyes seed a bit distracted as she asked, "What kind of shoes are these? I’ve never seen them before..."
Chen Mo, with the familiarity of a connoisseur, introduced, "These are designed especially for the Empress, nad high heels. The material is Serpent Bone rged with Cloud Crystal, further embellished with Yao Stone, and the sole is carved with softening and lightening arrays, ensuring beauty as well as comfort."
Gift-giving also has its finesses.
First of all, it’s best if they can be carried on one’s person, not thrown in a corner to gather dust.
For example, the Protective Bracelet given to Xu Qingyi is worn on the wrist, and even if it is not used, every ti it is seen, it reminds her of him and keeps the affection in mind.
Secondly, it should be tailored to the individual.
With the Empress’s status and power, ordinary Magical Treasures simply won’t catch her eye.
Therefore, one should not blindly pursue practicality. Rather, these "gorgeous but impractical" novelties can leave a deeper impression on her.
"Empress, what do you think of these shoes?" Chen Mo confidently asked.
Yu Youhan stood up, walked a few steps on the terrace. The heels clicked "clack clack" against the floor, then she gave her assessnt:
"The heels are too high, affecting balance."
"The ankle can’t bend, creating additional strain on the knees and calves."
"The arches and toes are under too much pressure, long-term wear could easily lead to blocked ridians... Apart from their novelty appearance, I really can’t find any advantages."
Chen Mo: "..."
Seeing his slightly disheartened look, a smile flickered in Yu Youhan’s eyes. She bent down, whispered close to his ear, "Even so, I quite like them."
Her breath, fragrant as musk and deer scent, tickled his neck.
Looking at that exquisite face, eyes as bright as stars, Chen Mo’s heart raced and he blurted out, "I also like the Empress very much!"
?!
Yu Youhan’s expression stiffened for a mont, "What did you say?!"
Chen Mo snapped back to his senses, frantically explained, "Ah, I an, I really like how the Empress looks in these shoes..."
"..."
Yu Youhan was silent for a mont, then emotionlessly said, "Think before you speak next ti, do not talk nonsense. If others heard, it might cost you your life."
Chen Mo humbly replied, "I spoke without thinking, please forgive , Empress."
"Hmm."
Yu Youhan responded lightly.
Neither spoke, the silence was so profound you could almost hear heartbeat.
A breeze blew by, lifting strands of her hair, revealing her fair earlobes already flushed and warm.
"Right."
At that mont, Chen Mo rembered sothing and said, "These shoes might be lacking alone, I’ve also prepared a set of clothing for the Empress to match them."
He took out two pieces of clothing from the Suru Bag and presented them to Yu Youhan.
"There’s also a matching outfit?"
Yu Youhan reached out to take them.
Black and white, the fabric silky and light, a style she hadn’t seen before.
What exactly goes through this man’s mind... how co he’s always studying won’s clothing?
"Empress, would you like to try them on now?"
Chen Mo rubbed his hands together eagerly.
Yu Youhan glanced at him, didn’t retreat, and with a wave of her hand, a mist rose to obscure the view; only the outlines of her figure were vaguely visible.
Monts later, the mist dissipated, and the view returned to normal.
Chen Mo’s mouth hung open, his eyes filled with astonishnt.
Yu Youhan was wearing a thin, white chiffon blouse with hints of a black chemise underneath, the lower hem slightly short, revealing a slender waist and a cute navel.
The lower body was a black hip-hugging mini-skirt, legs enwrapped in black stockings, feet in crystal high heels, making her already long legs appear even more slender and straight.
On either side of her navel were two black lace ties, forming a V-shape disappearing into her skirt—
Inside, she was wearing the underwear!
"That’s exactly it, the perfect look!"
"Professional attire combined with a powerful aura, it’s the image of a cool female boss!"
"But the intimate wear underneath provides a stark contrast, inciting the desire to challenge authority..."
Chen Mo’s breathing beca a bit rapid.
After this period of "indoctrination," Yu Youhan’s acceptance has clearly increased, and even she felt this attire was quite normal... Seeing his excitent, she couldn’t help but be puzzled, "Does it look good?"
"Of course!"
Chen Mo nodded vigorously, "It’d be perfect with a pair of black-frad glasses..."
"..."
Though Yu Youhan didn’t understand, she didn’t say anything more, perched her pert bottom on a rattan chair, crossing her sleek legs.
"Foot massage."
"Yes."
Chen Mo slipped off the high heels, taking her tender, exquisite feet into his hands.
Looking up inadvertently, he was taken aback.
Due to the mini-skirt being so short and sliding upwards when she sat, her plump, rounded thighs were exposed.
Through the fabric, one could vaguely see...
And...
They stared at each other blankly, then after a mont, Chen Mo silently bowed his head, starting to chant the Supre Heart-Cleansing Mantra.
Suddenly, a foot pressed down gently, interrupting his cultivation technique.
"Empress?!"
Chen Mo’s expression shifted.
Yu Youhan, cool as ice, said, "I’ve told you before, no practicing cultivation while massaging feet."
"..."
Chen Mo felt like he was about to explode, the force in his hands increased slightly.
Yu Youhan’s face blushed faintly, barely bearing it, when suddenly, she noticed the secret insignia on Chen Mo’s palm, puzzled, she inquired, "Why do you have the Demon Suppression Departnt’s insignia?"
"I was just about to report this to the Empress."
Chen Mo recounted his collaboration with the Demon Suppression Departnt in demon slaying at Hengjiang Ridge.
"Third-class Tributor?"
Yu Youhan’s brow furrowed slightly, surprised.
The Demon Suppression Departnt never had a Martial Artist as a Tributor before, and a Sky Scale Guard Guard Hundred Households at that... to receive such exceptional treatnt was certainly with the approval of that Commander.
