Beneath the exquisite white stockings, she wore high heels that accentuated her allure, making her naturally stand taller and prouder.
With her delicate hand, she gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt, exuding an elegance and nobility that permeated her very soul.
Though Ye Yun had long harbored a fantasy of seeing his wife, Xing Wu, in a white maid outfit, the reality of it brought him an immense shock.
He found himself staring, lost in a daze.
Xing Wu, looking at him, said, "Little Xue told me you like these strange dresses. What do you think?"
It was her first time wearing such an outfit. For some reason, after putting it on, she felt an inexplicable urge to call someone "Master."
However, seeing Ye Yun frozen in place, speechless, she raised an eyebrow and called out, "Hey, you! Do I look good or not? Say something!"
Clearly, Xing Wu hadn't yet grasped the sheer impact the maid outfit had on Ye Yun.
After a long moment, he took a deep breath and swallowed.
"Wife..."
"Mm-hmm?"
Xing Wu tilted her head, further accentuating the beautiful curves of her chest, creating an almost overwhelming presence.
At that moment, Ye Yun stared intently at her and declared with unwavering firmness.
"Wife, I love you so much!"
For him, a thousand words in his heart converged into these two simple sentences.
Ye Yun understood perfectly well the purpose behind her donning the attire he favored at this particular time. It was to lift his spirits, seeing him in a somber mood.
Xing Wu coughed lightly at Ye Yun's sudden declaration and then hummed.
"I know that much. Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Uh..."
Ye Yun scratched his head, then smiled and said.
"You look absolutely perfect in this!"
"That's more like it."
Xing Wu finally nodded with satisfaction.
"It took quite an effort to borrow this dress from that little bird."
"If you dare say it doesn't look good, humph..."
She formed her delicate hand into a fist, which crackled audibly.
Undoubtedly, despite her soft maid outfit, she was a super combat maid capable of tearing apart mountains and rivers!
Ye Yun chuckled, offering his unreserved praise.
"How could it not? You look incredibly beautiful in it!"
"Good, then."
Ye Yun studied her and remarked, "No wonder it felt familiar. So, you borrowed it from Little Xue."
"It couldn't be helped. It's not easy to have one made here."
While Xing Wu was formidable in combat, she couldn't conjure clothes out of thin air.
Ye Yun said with a light smile, "No worries. I'll get you one later."
As he spoke, he appraised her from head to toe, a hint of sentiment in his voice.
"But what a coincidence, Little Xue's dress fits you perfectly. Does it fit well?"
"It's alright. The upper part is a bit tight."
"Perhaps Little Xue is a bit thinner than you..."
Ye Yun remarked casually.
As expected, Xing Wu's lips twitched. She stepped forward and pinched his cheek with her finger.
Staring at him fiercely, she demanded, "Was this the spot that was hurting just now? Are you implying I'm fat?"
"No, no, no!"
Ye Yun quickly came to his senses.
Xing Wu huffed, "No? No what?"
Fortunately, Ye Yun was quick-witted in these life-or-death situations.
He immediately explained, "It's Little Xue! In terms of physique, she's not as good as you!"
Women, after all, always wished their fat would go to where it belonged.
Hearing this explanation, Xing Wu finally seemed satisfied and released her grip on his cheek.
"Naturally. Anyone with eyes can see that."
As she spoke, Xing Wu deliberately crossed her arms in front of her, puffing out her chest even more.
Ye Yun felt a bead of sweat trickle down his temple. Ah, dealing with this woman required such caution.
One wrong word, and the consequences could be dire...
Thankfully, Xing Wu didn't dwell on the matter. Besides, she had put on this special outfit not to get angry with Ye Yun.
She walked over to the nearby mirror and examined her reflection.
"Mmm... I truly am perfect."
Compared to her previous outfits, this one gave her a special feeling.
Then, glancing towards Ye Yun, she said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Why are you still standing there like a statue? Shouldn't you be putting your arm around my waist right now?"
Clearly, she was displeased with Ye Yun's dazed posture.
She had dressed in a way he liked, yet he hadn't stepped forward to express anything. She found him a bit unromantic.
It was only then that she strode forward and put her arm around his waist.
She tilted her head up, their faces nearly touching as they gazed into each other's eyes.
Ye Yun was taken aback. The intoxicating fragrance from her nose and the pliant softness of her waist as he held her sent him into a state of intoxication.
Xing Wu then tilted her head and smiled at him.
"How does it feel? Aren't you deeply moved?"
"Yes, my wife, you are truly captivating..."
Her enchanting smile and voice were more than just moving.
At this moment, he felt he could offer his heart to the woman before him without hesitation.
Xing Wu's finger gently caressed his face as she smiled at him.
"You, I hope you remember from now on, no matter what, I will always stand on your side."
"I am a villain by nature, so I don't care if you're a good person or a demon."
"If you wish to be a good person, I will be the saintess who saves the world for you."
"If you wish to be a demon, I can become the demon lover who slaughters all living beings."
In this world, could there be a purer confession than this?
At least, in Ye Yun's eyes at this moment, there was none. Nothing could have pleased him more than these words.
He recalled that when he had confessed to her in the Nirvana Space, he had said something similar.
Now, Ye Yun understood the state of her mind back then.
"Wife, I truly love you so much!"
Ye Yun repeated himself, reaching out to gently caress her lips.
Xing Wu looked at him, a hint of tenderness surfacing in her eyes.
"What are you saying now? But, I..."
Sometimes, words were unnecessary. A single glance between them could convey so much.
Even with the end of the world looming and so many things to clarify and resolve, facing such pressure, as an adult with the one he loved most by his side, there was no need to worry about lacking ways to vent emotions and relieve stress.
