17: Chapter 17 Lace Defense Vestments

On an autumn afternoon in Jiangzhou City, sunlight filtered through the locust tree leaves on the old street, casting dappled shadows in front of Lins Funeral Shop.

However, the atmosphere inside the shop was several degrees colder than the late autumn outside.

Leng Yue's deep red eyes stared intently at the set of "sexy lingerie" on the screen, which consisted of only a few semi-transparent black gauze strips and lace edges, radiating an extremely dangerous Red Hou pressure from her entire body.

"Husband, although this concubine has been slumbering for a thousand years and does not understand modern rules, how can such an unsightly filthy object, which is even worse than... than a dudou, be worn on a woman's body?"

Leng Yue's voice was icy, tinged with anger and shyness.

Her towering chest heaved violently due to her emotional fluctuations.

Frost Star sat on a chair to the side, swinging her fair little feet, licking a popsicle she had just taken from the refrigerator, and eagerly fanning the flames of chaos:

"Sister, you don't understand this, do you? TV shows always say that men turn bad once they get rich."

"Watch less of those mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas on TV!"

Lin Ye was sweating profusely, feeling as if his back teeth were about to be crushed from clenching.

"I said it's big data! This is truly big data recommendation; I really didn't search for it proactively!" Lin Ye defended himself feebly.

Just as Leng Yue's gaze grew increasingly dangerous, seemingly preparing to use the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to burn this iron box filled with "lascivious aura" into ashes,

the "My Lord, Please Behave Yourself" System's fatal and alluring prompt mischievously popped up.

"Ding! "My Lord, Please Behave Yourself" System prompt: Detected that the host is facing the crisis of 'the zombie girl's online shopping interrogation', please make a choice within three minutes!"

[Option A: Furious out of embarrassment — Slam the table and roar, "So what if I spend my own money to look at some borderline content?!"]

[Reward: Courage +10. Consequence: Leng Yue will let you experience what it means to have "Pure Yang Dao Body roasted with Red Lotus Karmic Fire", dying at the tender age of 24.]

[Option B: Forced popular science — Take out paper and pen, and explain internet algorithms and big data pushes to them in detail.]

[Reward: Obtain the title "Cyber Mentor". Consequence: Due to excessive boredom, Frost Star will fall asleep midway, and Leng Yue will still think you are making excuses, Favorability -5.]

[Option C: Calling a stag a horse, turning the tables — Tell them with a righteous expression that this is not undergarments, but a modern high-tech defensive magical artifact! To prove your innocence, the system will sponsor a physical set for free.]

[Reward: Obtain [Succubus Lace Magical Garment] (Mystic Grade Low-Tier Defensive Magical Artifact), Leng Yue's gap moe plot triggered. Consequence: You need superb acting skills.]

"System, I thank your eight generations of ancestors!"

Lin Ye roared wildly in his heart; this damn system clearly wanted to see Leng Yue wear this thing!

Out of every three options, only C could resolve the crisis.

And now that he could get a Mystic Grade magical artifact for free, Lin Ye didn't even need to think about it.

"I choose C!"

Lin Ye took a deep breath, his originally panicked expression instantly turning serious, tinged with a hint of grievance from being misunderstood.

He stepped forward, snatched the phone from Leng Yue's hand, and said righteously:

"Wife, you misunderstood me!"

Leng Yue was slightly startled, her red eyes narrowing slightly: "Misunderstood?"

"That's right!" Lin Ye puffed out his chest.

"You think this is ordinary fabric? You think this is a filthy object worn by shameless women? You are completely wrong! This is called 'Heavenly Silkworm Ice Silk Armor'! It is the latest form-fitting defensive magical artifact developed by the modern cultivation world combining technology and heavy-duty tricks!"

Watching Leng Yue and Frost Star's dumbfounded expressions, Lin Ye struck while the iron was hot, his right hand swiftly flipping behind his back.

With a slight flash of light, a physical item extracted from the system warehouse—[Succubus Lace Magical Garment]—appeared in his hands.

"Look!"

Lin Ye fought back the urge to spray a nosebleed and displayed the nearly transparent black lace fabric in front of the two female zombies.

The moment the physical item appeared, Leng Yue's breathing stalled.

This fabric... was even less than it looked on the screen!

It was embroidered with exquisite yet extremely ambiguous dark patterns, with only a pitiful few spots of coverage, while the rest consisted entirely of semi-transparent black gauze and slender ties.

"This... how is this decent?!"

As if scalded, Leng Yue suddenly took half a step back, her extremely beautiful cheeks instantly blushing red, and even her slender swan neck was stained with a charming crimson hue.

"Wife, feel the spiritual energy fluctuations on this!"

Lin Ye spouted nonsense with a straight face, directly shoving the magical garment into Leng Yue's hands.

Leng Yue instinctively wanted to throw it away, but when her fingertips touched the layer of semi-transparent lace, a flash of astonishment crossed her gold-red eyes.

Because on this fabric that looked like it would tear at a single pull, there was actually circulating a layer of obscure yet extremely high-grade defensive array fluctuations!

"This... is it really a magical garment?" Leng Yue exclaimed in a low voice.

"Of course! This fabric is light and thin so it won't affect footwork in combat, and this hollowed-out design is to better volatilize the Yin and Yang dual qi!"

Lin Ye incarnated into a top-tier salesman, explaining without turning red or skipping a beat.

Leng Yue was completely bluffed by Lin Ye's nonsense.

She bit her rosy lower lip, tangled, holding the set of magical garments and gesturing in front of her body.

With this gesture, Lin Ye's gaze instantly couldn't look away.

Leng Yue herself was wearing tight home clothes.

At this moment, those seductive black lace straps draped across her chest and waist, and the semi-transparent black gauze formed a strong visual impact with her snow-white skin.

A contradictory sense of abstinence and ultimate indulgence perfectly fused on her body.

She lowered her head slightly, her silver hair falling before her chest.

That blushing face paired with her proud and magnificent outline was simply a walking hormone-generating machine.

"However... this magical artifact can only be worn as form-fitting undergarments..."

Leng Yue's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, somewhat not daring to look into Lin Ye's eyes.

"Ahem, good steel should be used on the blade's edge. If Wife encounters a formidable enemy, wearing it underneath will surely turn misfortune into fortune. This is an ultimate protective treasure I specifically sought out for you!"

Lin Ye said affectionately.

Hearing this, the anger in Leng Yue's eyes completely dissipated, replaced by a rich touch of emotion and tenderness.

She carefully folded the succubus underwear, preciously stored it in her sleeve, and said in a low voice:

"Husband has taken pains. This concubine... after bathing tonight, will... will try it on for Husband to see."

"Pfft!"

Lin Ye almost spat out all the goji berry tea he had just drunk.

Try it on?! No way! This is going to cost me my life!

"I want this kind of magical artifact too!"

Frost Star threw away the popsicle stick, pounced forward, and hugged Lin Ye's thigh.

"What magical garment does a brat like you wear? Wait until you grow as big as your sister before talking!"

Lin Ye pushed Frost Star away as if fleeing.

"Um, Wife, you watch the house, I'm going out! Having made money last night, I'm going to the Ghost Market to buy you some high-year wild ginseng and blood bodhisattva to nourish your bodies!"

After saying that, Lin Ye pulled down the rolling shutter door and rushed out of the Funeral Shop like a gust of wind.

Behind him, Leng Yue's gentle exhortation faintly came: "Husband, return early, the sun outside is fierce..."
