Chapter 390: Chapter 217: Ji Lingruo Takes Her Senior Sister to Buy Attack Speed Gear (5k)_2
The skirts here are dazzling, with not only the classic styles of Immortal Skirts but also many new designs that are hard to name. Some are intricate enough to be awe-inspiring, while others are bold enough to make one blush.
Ji Lingruo still preferred normal yet beautiful clothes, so she chose two pieces for herself, two for Wangshu Fairy, and two for Zi Yiyi before softly asking the shop girl if there were any recommended clothes for men.
The shop girl, appearing to understand the situation, recommended a few more items to Ji Lingruo.
As things were finished, just when Ji Lingruo was about to leave with her full load, the shop girl suddenly pulled her aside and said in a mysterious manner:
"Did Miss Ji just buy clothes for her sweetheart?"
Ji Lingruo nodded, her face flushed with shyness.
The shop girl’s eyes gleamed sharply as if seeing through everything, and she said:
"Is it that you and that gentleman are madly in love, inseparable as glue and lacquer?"
Ji Lingruo neither confirmed nor denied, her cheeks merely reddened a bit more.
"It happens to be a good coincidence then, our Qianhua Pavilion has just released a kind of apparel that is designed to captivate a man’s attention. However, due to the rarity of the materials, they are always released in limited quantities, only available to selected customers. I wonder if Miss Ji is interested in trying it?"
"Apparel designed to captivate a man’s attention?" Ji Lingruo cautiously glanced at her senior sister, stammering, "It wouldn’t be that kind of clothing, would it..."
She remembered that back in Chuyun City, her senior brother had bought her some strange clothing. Though she hadn’t thrown them away, every time she saw them, she felt unbearably shy.
The shop girl gave a reassuring look:
"How can clothes be classified this way or that? As long as they look good, wear well, and are practical, they are good clothes. Miss Ji, please follow me."
Ji Lingruo initially wanted to send her senior sister away first, but seeing her senior sister following the shop girl even faster than her, she realized nothing escaped her senior sister’s ears, so she quickly followed and explained:
"Senior sister, we are buying regular clothes, you know?"
Wangshu Fairy looked puzzled, not understanding what she meant by irregular.
Soon, the shop girl led the two girls into a special elegant courtyard to wait and specifically poured them a cup of the expensive Silver Snail Tea.
After about half a tea time, the shop girl came in holding a nearly two-foot-long wooden box.
This wooden box was made from black glazed wood, with an oil-smooth, glossy exterior and an interior that would not rot for a hundred years, also gilded with gold edges, visibly of superior quality.
Seeing such a grand packaging for the special apparel, Ji Lingruo couldn’t help but feel more curious.
The shop girl purposely turned the wooden box away from the two girls, drawing out several satin pieces as if presenting a treasure.
"This is..."
Ji Lingruo asked puzzled.
"This is a treasure!"
The shop girl seemed very excited, looking at the satin with eager eyes:
"This item is called silk stockings, although originated by our Qianhua Pavilion in Zhongyuan Continent, the material comes from the Beiao Continent, made from silk specially produced by snow silkworms on a four-thousand-meter-high snowy mountain."
"How is this different from regular cotton socks?" Ji Lingruo’s beautiful eyes were filled with more confusion.
The shop girl chuckled teasingly, handing a pair of black silk stockings to Ji Lingruo:
"The function of cotton socks is to keep warm, while silk stockings are for decoration. Because they are made from the silk of snow silkworms, silk stockings have a cool, soft texture with excellent elasticity. They can enhance the leg shape, conceal leg flaws, and add the finishing touch to an outfit."
As she spoke, the shop girl bent down, slowly lifting the hem of her black and gold cheongsam.
A pair of long, shapely jade legs encased in black silk stockings were revealed to the two girls.
Ji Lingruo was momentarily stunned, then her eyes gently twinkled.
To be honest, although the shop girl had a pleasing appearance, her figure was just petite, so her legs weren’t really long.
But with the enhancement of the black silk stockings, the exquisite curves of her legs were fully displayed. The plump areas were faintly translucent, while the thin areas were covered by the stockings, making them irresistibly tantalizing despite being just a thin layer.
Even as a woman, Ji Lingruo felt a tickling charm in her heart, let alone a man.
But unfortunately, when she thought of You Su being blind, unable to see the stockings at all, her interest waned.
The shop girl, experienced in reading people, immediately noticed the change in Ji Lingruo’s expression:
"What’s wrong with Miss Ji, are you not interested in these silk stockings?"
Like any typical young girl, Ji Lingruo had a heart that appreciated beauty, so how could she not be attracted to these novel silk stockings?
"It’s not that... it’s just that these stockings are too thin, wouldn’t they tear with a little force? Not very practical..."
Ji Lingruo wouldn’t dare to admit in front of her senior sister that her sweetheart was blind, so she tactfully declined.
The shop girl then revealed a playful smile, saying:
"Miss Ji, you don’t understand, do you know what sells the best at our Qianhua Pavilion?"
"Immortal Skirt?" Ji Lingruo responded honestly.
"Wrong, it’s thin clothes; the thinner, the better they sell. The thinner the fabric, the higher we price it, and surprisingly, the better it sells. Do you know why?"
Ji Lingruo shook her head, and even Wangshu Fairy cast a puzzled glance.
"Because most men... enjoy the thrill of tearing clothes."
The shop girl said this without any hesitation or embarrassment, having sold clothes for many years, she understood men even better than women.
Ji Lingruo, familiar with related literature, knew the shop girl was right.
In an instant, the image of herself wearing these thin black silk stockings, being caressed by her senior brother and then with a ’crack’, being torn apart, appeared in the young girl’s mind, causing a blush to spread across her delicate, tofu-like face.
Seeing this, the shop girl knew she was on the verge of making a sale and continued enticingly:
