Zu An was completely stupefied when he saw the skillâs name. He quickly continued to read the description.
Skill: Pin Ruâs Wardrobe
Skill description: Legend has it that there was a playboy who had a thing with his wifeâs close female friend. Once, during a meeting, that close friend put on his wifeâs clothes when she came out of the shower, then said, âSince Iâm trying to seduce you, I might as well go all the way.â Then, the playboy replied with the classic phrase, âYou really are a seductress.â Because his wifeâs name was Pin Ru, her wardrobe was called âPin Ruâs Wardrobeâ.
Effects: When this skill is used, a wardrobe will be summoned. Female clothes can be stored inside ahead of time, and within the range of the wardrobe, others will mistake the one who wears the clothes for the original owner.
Note: This will only affect the third party. In the eyes of yourself and the wearer, she will still retain her original appearance. The effects will disappear once the target is more than ten meters from the wardrobe.
Zu An was stunned for a while after he read through the introduction. Why were all of the skills he got so shitty?
If you told me that the clothes could turn a girl into someone else once they put on these clothes, then I could at least play around with some cosplay, but her appearance wonât change at all in my eyes? Itâll only affect the third party?
Damn it! Whatâs the use of having this stupid skill then?
Zu An used the skill, and a normal wardrobe appeared in front of him. He opened it and saw that it was completely empty. He checked out its size, and concluded it would be too hard to fit a person inside.
He shook his head. This skill was really weird. He really couldnât think of any situations where he would need to use it. He put it away at first, but for some reason, he suddenly decided to open up another wardrobe and store a set of Chu Chuyanâs clothes inside.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Zu An jumped in fright and quickly closed the wardrobe, asking, âWho is it?â
âMaster, thereâs a woman outside who wants to meet with youâ¦â a maid said from outside.
âWho is she?â Zu An asked out of curiosity. These Chu clan workers should have been able to recognize who it was, if it were someone like Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe.
âI donât know. Her entire body is cloaked, and she says that sheâs your good friend, and youâll know once you meet her,â the maid replied.
âInvite her in then.â Zu An was curious as well. This person had come out in broad daylight anyway, so he didnât have to be scared of some bad person.
A woman entirely wrapped in a white cloak walked in. Her hair was also covered with light gauze, hiding her whole body from view. Zu An could only see an excellent figure. He was stunned when he first saw her, but then, a warm smile appeared on his face. He waved his hands toward the maid and said, âYou can withdraw for now.â
âOhâ¦â The maid had originally been vigilant and wanted to chase the woman out for Chu First Missâ sake. But Zu An was the master now. Since the master had spoken, she could only leave reluctantly. When the maid left, Zu An closed the door behind her.
The woman giggled and asked, âSir Zu, what are you trying to do? Wonât there be rumors if a man and a woman stay in the same room together?â
Zu An turned around and looked at her, replying, âYouâre wrapped up so tightly anyway. No one even knows who you are.â
âThen do you know?â The woman had deliberately changed her voice to hide her identity.
Zu An took her into his arms, replying âHow could I not know, my Danâer?â
The woman removed the cover around her head, revealing her tender and beautiful face. Who else could it be but Zheng Dan? Her eyes were full of joy as she exclaimed, âI already covered myself up so carefully! How did you know who I was?â
Zu An reached out and touched Zheng Danâs face. Her skin was still so smooth and fair. âDo we need something like that? Weâve already known each other for so long. I knew it was you from a single glance.â
In reality, it was mainly because of her smell. The smells of the beauties around him were all different. After being around Zheng Dan for so long, how could he forget about her smell? Furthermore, he had just received news that Sang Hong had just returned. It wasnât hard to make the connection. Of course, only a stiff guy would say something like that at such a time. As the lord of the sea, how could he forget to add in some sweet words?
âItâs been so long, and yet youâre getting better and better at making girls happy. Tell me honestly, how many new girls have you gotten in this period?â Zheng Dan harrumphed. Her tone was extremely crafty, yet lovable.
âWhy would an upright gentleman do something like that? Furthermore, I was in over my head in danger; I didnât have any time to be with anyone else,â Zu An said without batting an eyelid.
âI guess Iâll believe you.â Zheng Dan didnât suspect him. After all, everyone had known where he was all this time. There was no way he had a thing with the crown princess, right?
Zu An looked at the beauty in front of him. She wore a white dress, making her look even more lovely and endearing. He couldnât help but gently caress her face when he saw the signs of hardships between her brows, saying, âDanâer, youâve become thinner since we last met.â
Zheng Dan looked at him with large, misty eyes. âI ended up thinner from thinking about you.â
Zu An smiled. This was the Zheng Dan he missed! She looked like a proper wealthy clanâs daughter on the outside, but she was passionate and witty in private. He couldnât hold himself back anymore and kissed her. Zheng Dan cried out and fell into his embrace as if she were about to melt.
Couples would become like newlyweds after a long time apart. It had already been several months since they last met. When they kissed, it was as if thunder had struck the earth.
Suddenly, there was another knock at the door.
âMaster! Master!â called the maid again.
Zu An raised his head, saying unhappily, âDonât bother me if itâs not anything important.â
âSir Sang and Sangâs young miss have come to meet youâ¦â the maid said, sounding aggrieved.
âAh!â Zheng Dan began panicking. She pushed Zu An away and sorted out her messy clothes.
âHmph, I wonât see them,â Zu An replied. He told Zheng Dan, âYou donât need to worry about anything.â
Zheng Danâs face turned red. But in the end, she still couldnât continue doing what they had just been doing. She replied, âI told them that I was going to check on some of the Zheng clanâs businesses. If they find me here, all of us will look bad.â
Zu An was shocked. âThe Zheng clanâs businesses have reached the capital?â
Zheng Dan rolled her eyes. Was that really what was important right now?
The maid ran over and spoke again. âMaster, Sir Sang said that thereâs something important they want to talk to you about. Theyâll leave after just a brief meeting.â
Zu An felt a headache when he heard how persistent they were.
Zheng Dan said with a blush, âIâm leaving first. Iâll find you again later.â She opened the window behind her and was about to jump out, but she jumped in fright when she saw that some maids were sweeping the ground in the rear courtyard. Everyone would know that something was wrong if she left just like that!
Confused voices could be heard from outside.
âSir Sang, you canât barge in like this!â
âSir Sang, Miss Sang!â
Judging from the noise, the Sang clanâs father and daughter duo were clearly approaching the room. Zheng Dan turned pale and asked, âWhat do we do?â
Even though she had already made her decision to recover her freedom after Sang Qian was buried, she still hadnât had the time to talk about it. She was still the Sang clanâs daughter-in-law. It would be really bad if they bumped into each other ahead of time.
Zu An felt a headache. Suddenly, he thought of something. He looked at the wardrobe and opened it. He handed her the clothes inside, saying, âChange into these clothes.â
After having been in Brightmoon City for so long, Zheng Dan obviously knew that they were Chu Chuyanâs clothes. She was ashamed and anxious, exclaiming, âDo you know what kind of situation weâre in? And yet youâre still thinking about these things?!â
She wouldnât mind playing these games with Zu An if it were any other time, but there was a greater emergency right now!
Zu An said seriously, âTrust me. Weâll make it through this situation if you put these clothes on.â
