Chapter 21: The Rock… Rock King Princess?

“All right, you’ve finished looking at the houses. Have you decided what you want to buy? I can take you to the city to shop.”

“Hmm… I think I’m about ready. Let’s go. Senior Sister, this is my first time in Spirit Soul City, so you have to show me around properly and fulfill your duties as the host.”

“Okay, okay,” Hu Liena waved her hand, signaling it was no problem.

When Hu Liena and Zhong Yan reached the main street, they entered a clothing store.

“How about this one, junior brother?” However, when Zhong Yan saw the shop, he rolled his eyes at Hu Liena with a sullen look. “Senior Sister, you brought me to a women’s clothing store? What are you trying to do?”

“Junior Brother, don’t make that face! Look at you—so handsome—how can you not try on some women’s clothes?” Hu Liena gave a sly smile.

“No way, no, absolutely not! Women’s clothes? Never in this lifetime! Even if I starved to death or jumped off the Spirit Soul Hall, I would never wear women’s clothes,” Zhong Yan said with a scowl.

“Alright, alright. Sigh, I was actually planning that if you tried on women’s clothes, I’d cover all your expenses today,” Hu Liena sighed, looking genuinely disappointed.

“Hmph, just a few pieces of clothing, some sheets, and a few daily necessities — how expensive can it be?” Zhong Yan folded his arms, clearly annoyed. “Don’t underestimate me. This is just Spirit Soul City; prices can’t be that high. I can definitely afford it.”

...

Inside a house halfway up the mountain.

“Senior Sister, is this… is this okay?” Zhong Yan’s shy voice came from inside the room. This felt like social death waiting to happen.

“Well then, open the door and let me have a look,” Hu Liena said confidently, standing tall.

...

The door opened, and Zhong Yan appeared before Hu Liena, dressed in a skirt.

He miscalculated; the clothes were so expensive that all his gold spirit coins wouldn’t buy even one piece. Sigh.

Hu Liena’s eyes seemed to sparkle. “I didn’t expect junior brother to look quite charming in women’s clothes. You look pretty good. Too bad I didn’t bring a memory crystal; otherwise, I could have shown the master. That would definitely win the master’s favor.”

Zhong Yan felt like a trapped mouse. He jumped up, pointing a finger at Hu Liena. “You promised no one else would find out about this.”

“Oh, little junior brother, your weakness is already in my hands. Doesn’t that mean I can do whatever I want? Hmm?”

“You, you… absolutely not! You’re doomed!” Zhong Yan said, then lunged at Hu Liena.

Caught off guard, Hu Liena fell to the ground. “Ouch, that hurts.”

“Ah?” Zhong Yan quickly got up, a bit nervous. “Did you hit somewhere?”

“Wuwu, Senior Sister’s butt really hurts. How can you be so rough, junior brother? Hurry and rub it for me.” She pretended to rub her eyes and acted as if she was about to cry.

Seeing her like that, Zhong Yan relaxed, thinking nothing serious had happened. No way could he let this girl get so arrogant. He had to take the initiative and turn the tables.

His eyes darted about as he thought of a clever idea.

Zhong Yan walked up to Hu Liena and blew gently in her ear. “Senior Sister, aren’t you trying to seduce me like this?”

Hu Liena, who had just been teasing, instantly blushed. She was not used to this kind of flirtation.

“You… you bastard…” Hu Liena pushed Zhong Yan away. “Hmph, I’m ignoring you now.”

...

“Hahaha, alright, alright, Senior Sister, had enough fun?” Zhong Yan said as he went back inside to change into his own clothes.

When Zhong Yan came out, he found Hu Liena still sitting on the sofa, pouting, tilting her head as if she was mad at him.

He walked over and sat in front of her. “Senior Sister, is there any way to make money? Spirit Soul City is so expensive; I can’t just keep relying on you to support me.”

“Hmph!”

Seeing her like that, Zhong Yan knew he had to coax her. “Senior Sister, my dear Senior Sister, I was wrong. Please tell me.”

Hu Liena turned her head and said, “Fine, I’ll reluctantly forgive you… As for how to make money… it’s just that…” She suddenly seemed to recall something and spoke hesitantly.

Suddenly, Hu Liena got up and walked to the door. Opening it, she turned back and quickly said to Zhong Yan, “Actually, your money is more than enough in Spirit Soul City. The area I took you to before was the high-end district.” Without waiting for a reply, she dashed off.

“?”

“!”

When Zhong Yan realized what was happening, he hurriedly chased after her, shouting loudly, “Stop right there! If you can, don’t let me catch you!”
