229 Life as a Woman (1/2)
Xue Wei was annoyed, but he also found it rather funny. Was this Lin Xiao an idiot? Although he did not think it would be too difficult to pretend to be a woman, he quickly understood that it would be absolutely impossible for him to look like a woman when he finally wore the dress.
”This is perfect,” Lin Xiao said while doing his very best to keep a straight face, but he would tremble from time to time and turn his face away to not let Xue Wei see the smile he could not suppress.
”Are you all done laughing now?” Xue Wei asked before moving to take the dress off.
”Stop!” Lin Xiao stopped him before he could. ”Try the mask! If you still think it is impossible after putting on the mask, then I will say nothing, but at least give it a try!”
Xue Wei glanced at Lin Xiao. Did this man have some strange hobbies? Was he interested in seeing a male body with a female face? This was enough to make him shiver in fright. Was Lin Xiao not the strongest of them all? He was the strongest, and he had strange hobbies. This was terrible!
Seeing Xue Wei's perplexed expression, Lin Xiao could guess his thoughts. His lips twitched.
”Don't think too much and just wear it!” he exclaimed, understanding that he had now been labeled as a rather perverse person.
Xue Wei wondered. He had already dressed up in the gown and supposed it could not get worse than this, so he shrugged his shoulders and took the mask, placed it on his face, and looked down at himself. His eyes widened in shock.
”I told you already!” Lin Xiao gloated. ”This is the highest class face mask! It alters not only your face but also your entire body.”
”How can it do that?” Xue Wei was shocked when he saw that his figure had turned lithe and delicate. His height was the same, but his physique seemed completely different.
Hei Gou and Bai Tianyi completely forgot to laugh as they looked at the woman who had appeared in front of them with wide eyes. There was no doubt that Xue Wei looked exactly like a woman now. Although a tall woman, he looked like a woman.
”There's an illusion inside the mask,” Lin Xiao explained. ”It is an inscription. As long as there is Qi within the mask, it will keep you looking like a woman, and you can store your own Qi within as well. It is perfect!”
Xue Wei was shocked. So it was an inscription. He had to examine it later when he had the chance!
But for now, he felt a great loss. He was really supposed to pretend to be a woman now, which was something he had never seen coming, but in the end he understood that this would make their journey much easier. The only thing was that he was not too keen on the whole cross-dressing idea.
”Put your pride behind you!” Bai Tianyi was the first to speak up. ”You know that you need to visit Lan. This will make it smooth and easy, so stop complaining. Is it not just pretending to be a woman?”
Xue Wei's lips twitched at the words from Bai Tianyi, and then he walked towards the child. ”My dear son, is that how you speak to your mother?” he asked with a voice so sugarcoated that every word dripped with sweetness.
Bai Tianyi felt a shiver run down his spine. It was obvious that the other three had their own roles to play as family if Xue Wei had to pretend to be a woman. Since there was one woman and one child. it was reasonable that the child had to be hers.
”Uh.” Bai Tianyi was stunned. ”Well, I guess it is just pretending to be a child, right? I can do that,” he said with self-assurance, but both Xue Wei and Hei Gou looked at him skeptically. Although he had looked like a child since the day he made his soul body, he had never behaved like one. In fact, they had never seen him act like one.
Knowing that he was not the only one who had to pretend to be something he was not, Xue Wei felt slightly better. He placed his hands on his now very narrow waist and turned around.
”So who are the two of you supposed to be?” Having come to terms with the fact that he had to be a woman, Xue Wei wanted to at least have this planned out.
”I will be your husband, he will be your brother,” Lin Xiao said as he pointed at Hei Gou. However, Hei Gou objected to it, ”Why do you have to take the role as the husband?”
”Why don't we just say that we are four siblings?” Xue Wei sighed after seeing that Lin Xiao was snickering and Hei Gou was fuming.
”No can do! We should look like a family!” Hei Gou and Lin Xiao yelled out at the same time. Xue Wei was taken aback, realizing that these two dunces were actually having a lot of fun. At his expense.
”Well then, why don't you duke it out, the winner gets to decide?” Xue Wei could not be bothered to deal with it, so he just said whatever, but Hei Gou immediately looked at him with the pitiful eyes of a lost puppy.
”Listen here, my little ancestor, me fighting against him, is it not the same as saying that I have no chance? No matter what way we look at it, he will win over me, and he is even a Diviner!”
