The next morning.
After finishing the call with Fu Xuan, Qingque looked up shakily, staring in disbelief at the two card-playing companions before her.
Four people were playing Imperial Jade. Three of them had been playing all night without changing.
"No way, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were the guests I was waiting for?"
Qingque patted the swimsuit on her body and couldn't help but shiver:
"Hiss… You made me lose even my underwear. Aren't you in a hurry to go to the Divination Commission at all?"
Seeing Qingque staring at her, March 7th speechlessly pulled her hand at the white cloth binding her hair. In an instant, her long hair fell down.
The white cloth she had used to tie up her beautiful hair now slowly unfolded as well.
It was shockingly Qingque's underwear!
"Such a hassle. Isn't this what you wanted? Here, take it, take it… I really don't understand why you need underwear when wearing a swimsuit. Do you want to wear your underwear outside like Superman?"
"It's not about wearing it outside or not."
Qingque reached out to take the underwear, clenched it tightly, and said with great conflict:
"It's just that seeing that guy wearing my clothes makes me feel really uncomfortable."
In the seat next to March 7th, a black-haired man was wearing Qingque's clothes, staring at the two of them in a daze.
"What's wrong? Without some penalty mechanism, who would play with this poor ghost?"
"What you said is true, but why are you the one wearing it?" Qingque muttered.
No matter what, it should have been the girl named March 7th next to her who wore it, right?
In the end, the other person had only used her own underwear as a hair tie, just for show.
"Because this outfit doesn't match her main color scheme. She thought it would look ugly if she wore it." Zeig said as such.
"But it doesn't match you either."
"I just wanted to experience the feeling of wind leaking from my shoulders."
"…"
"I've never worn revealing clothes until now. I'm really curious about how it feels for people who wear those kinds of outfits that have a slit at the chest, or a cut at the navel, or leave an opening at the shoulders…"
"Are you stupid?" March 7th rolled her eyes:
"It's obviously designed for female players to look at. You'll never get to wear clothes like that in your life."
"Aren't you gay?"
"Gay people can be attracted too. It doesn't conflict."
"You two… before you chat about this, can you give me my clothes back first? Early in the morning… wearing a swimsuit is really cold."
Qingque was currently hugging her arms tightly, shivering from the cold.
Since she had lost all her clothes, for the sake of the street's appearance, Zeig had found her a swimsuit to wear for now.
"?" March 7th raised an eyebrow:
"Haven't you already lost these to us? Including the underwear. Are you going back on your word?"
She pointed at the underwear Qingque was currently clutching tightly in her palm and asked in confusion:
"Don't tell me you want to take advantage of us?"
"No… Aren't you two guests who came to the Xianzhou? Why are you so strict?!"
"It's not a matter of being strict or not."
Zeig, wearing Qingque's clothes, crossed his arms and spoke eloquently:
"From the very beginning, the way you looked at us two was off. The moment we sat down, you already knew we were the guests you were supposed to receive, right?"
"Ah… You guys even noticed that?"
Qingque was extremely embarrassed at this moment.
Indeed.
Long before these two arrived, the Master Diviner had already shown her photos of the Express crew.
After seeing these two naturally sit down, she had still thought of using her superb card skills to trick them for fun. She never expected to play until the next morning without winning once!
She had even lost her underwear!
Zeig's gaze was calm:
"I don't believe that when you play cards with ordinary card buddies, you'd bet so big."
He pointed at Qingque's clothes on himself and said in a deep voice:
"You already knew we came to support the Xianzhou, so you didn't give a damn, right? The reason you just asked for the clothes back was also because subconsciously you felt we wouldn't mind, right?"
"Wow, you knew all along and still played with me?!"
Qingque's pupils suddenly dilated as she said in disbelief:
"Aren't you supposed to say that everyone in the Express crew is easy to talk to except for that Mr. Yang Chaoyue?!"
March 7th pursed her lips, rested her small hand on her chin on the card table, and said lazily:
"Actually, under normal circumstances, Uncle Yang is the easiest one to talk to. His sense of justice is off the charts."
"Next is a poker face."
"But your luck is bad. You just had to run into a psychopath."
"You're the psychopath?!"
Qingque covered her small mouth in shock.
Good heavens!
The Master Diviner never told her that among the guests she was to receive, there was such a psychopath!
"I meant, the one crawling on the ground is the psychopath."
"?"
At this moment, the man who was originally in position had disappeared without a trace.
Qingque quickly looked left and right, and finally, in a corner by a courtyard wall, discovered a creature prostrate on the ground.
"Ah— That's my clothes! What are you doing!!!!!"
"Shush~!!"
The twin-tailed person wearing Qingque's clothes signaled the two to be quiet.
"You two are disturbing my sense of smell."
"Is your sense of smell operated by sound?!"
"Don't make noise."
"…"
Zeig was seen lying prone in the corner, brows furrowed tightly:
"Holy shit, what a badass aura. There's something buried here!"
He straightened his back and reached into his coat to take out…
"…"
"Shit, where's my coat?"
Because he was wearing Qingque's clothes, there weren't even inner pockets, let alone Asta's rope knot. He couldn't take out any props at all right now.
"Oh, it's with me."
"?"
Zeig suddenly turned his head.
He discovered that at some point, Qingque had already put on his black coat.
Zeig: "Why are you wearing my clothes?"
Qingque: "Because I don't have any clothes."
Zeig: "Isn't your swimsuit clothes?"
Qingque: "Can that even be called clothes?"
Zeig: "Why can't a swimsuit be called clothes?"
Qingque: "Clothes are for keeping warm. Clearly, a swimsuit doesn't conform to this basic concept."
"What you said makes a lot of sense. So come over here first."
"Oh."
Qingque, wearing the black coat, silently walked over to the twin-tailed Zeig's side.
"What?"
"There's something underground. My premonition won't be wrong."
Zeig was seen suddenly thrusting his hand into Qingque's coat, then pulling out a diamond drill.
"?"
After Zeig started "drilling drilling drilling" construction, Qingque's eyes widened, her slender hands constantly groping inside the coat:
"My god, where did you pull that out from?"
At this moment, March 7th also silently walked over to Qingque's side and very naturally reached her hand into her coat.
Under Qingque's shock, March 7th pulled out a cup of milk tea.
Then she started "glug glug" drinking it.
"Ah??"
Qingque scratched her head and continued reaching into the clothes to dig around.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel something and immediately felt a surge of joy in her heart.
"Ah, I got it. It's in the inner pocket of the coat, right?"
She was seen grabbing hard with force and pulling.
A tank thus went "Bang——!" and smashed onto the ground.
"???"
Qingque slowly looked up, staring at the colossal object before her, and for a moment didn't know what to do.
"Wow, how did you even fit that in there?"
From under the tank, a familiar shout also came.
"Are you crazy… You crushed me underneath!"
