Poor Xi Xi
Chapter 648 Talia's Maidenly Garb
When the most dazzling rays of the sunset penetrated the dense gaps between the leaves, the stone walls of the Sage Academy dormitory building were sprinkled with a layer of golden twilight.
Lan Qi found his dormitory in a corridor next to such a dimly lit lobby.
"When you get home, let me out quickly."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"How can you still talk to me?"
Lan Qi replied in shock.
"The Great Love Poet should be able to, usually."
Talia felt as if she was half-sealed in Lan Qi's soul space.
Lan Qi quickly opened the door to his dormitory. After a crisp unlocking sound, the heavy door and the barrier behind it opened together, and then he went in and locked the door.
"That's true, but I usually seal her up."
Lan Qi didn't understand at all and questioned her in his mind.
The Great Love Poet could also be summoned independently, but only if Lan Qi gave her freedom.
Talia didn't seem to need Lan Qi to grant her permission; she had the authority herself.
"I'm stronger than you. What makes you think you can seal me?"
Talia retorted with reason and evidence.
"..."
Lan Qi felt that the side effects of this meika were indeed too strong.
At least the Great Love Poet should be reasonable, but Talia was simply lawless.
Sure enough, powerful cards always come with corresponding risks.
Suddenly, with the diffusion of an aroma, a figure like a fairy among flowers, condensed from magic power beside Lan Qi, appeared not far from him.
"Do you really think of me as a meika?"
Talia asked coldly.
She always heard Lan Qi and the Great Love Poet call good-looking summons like that, but she actually hated meika very much and didn't like Lan Qi having more meika.
"But you are really good-looking."
Lan Qi replied.
"..."
Talia thought for a moment.
Lan Qi really thought she was good-looking; she had confirmed this many times.
Even at Golden Bee Amusement Park, when describing his opinion of her, the primary thing was that she was good-looking.
"Sit wherever you want. Give me a list of the living supplies you need, and I'll go buy them for you."
Lan Qi carried Talia's suitcase past the coat rack next to the entrance hall, entered the dormitory's most spacious living room, drew the curtains, and turned on the lights.
The cushions and blankets on the sofa exuded warm colors, and a retro floor lamp stood quietly beside them.
Indoors, the afterglow shone gently on the various brown wooden furniture in the room through the gaps in the curtains, making the whole space seem particularly warm.
Lan Qi placed her suitcase on the cabinet and began to exchange urgently needed magic cards with the Cat Boss while sitting on the sofa.
In a non-combat state, magic cards of purple rarity and below could be freely soul-bound and soul-unbound, and then exchanged with others.
"..."
Talia looked around Lan Qi's home and sat down on the other side of the sofa.
The last time she brought Hyperion to school, she happened to have been to Lan Qi's dormitory once.
It was also that time that she happened to run into Lan Qi playing with dress-up magic cards for the Great Love Poet.
"I'll give you these two cards. Since you have the attributes of the Great Love Poet, you should be able to use them now."
As Lan Qi spoke, he took out two purple, translucent magic cards that he had unbound.
Talia looked at the [Great Love Poet Transformation: Human] and [Great Love Poet Transformation: Dragon Demon] that Lan Qi handed her.
[Great Love Poet Transformation: Human]
[Category: Spell Card]
[Rarity: Purple Rare]
[Tier: 4]
[Effect: Limited to use by the Great Love Poet. After use, the race can be changed to human and the costume can be changed, without changing the appearance. After the change, the affinity increases greatly. Cooldown time is 24 hours.]
[Note: In a world without pain, interrupt the endless noise, in a gentle cage, let me satisfy you.]
She hesitated slightly and took out this [Great Love Poet Transformation: Human] and used it.
The moment the magic card was triggered, her figure transformed into a fresh and refined black-haired girl with emerald eyes rippling with bright, clear light. Her long dress was elegant and light, and she wore small black leather shoes.
"Seems not bad."
Talia muttered to herself.
She got up and looked in the mirror.
The last time she saw the dress-up magic that Lan Qi made for the Great Love Poet, she only felt disgusted, but now that she could use it herself, she felt that this card was a good invention.
"Make more of these cards in the future."
She held her skirt, turned around in front of the mirror and looked at the back, and said in a permissive manner.
"Didn't you say that this kind of skin card is the most useless product?"
Lan Qi asked in confusion.
Talia was completely in the state of trying on clothes in a department store!
"This is called a version issue. Some useless old magic cards may become super mainstream due to changes in the times and environment."
Talia taught Lan Qi with a serious face, without forgetting her duty as Lan Qi's magic card teacher.
"You want to be super mainstream too, right..."
Lan Qi felt that she was completely talking about herself.
"What?"
Talia focused her mind.
"Nothing."
Lan Qi shook his head.
After exchanging the magic cards, he got up from the sofa and quickly went to the workshop.
One side of the dormitory living room was connected to the workshop.
"Then tomorrow, first transform into a human appearance, change into this outfit, and go to school with me."
Before long, Lan Qi took out a set of ironed clothes from the wardrobe in the workshop and handed it to Talia.
"No problem, I'll try it on to see if it fits."
Talia took the clothes and went to the workshop.
She was now in high spirits to change into new clothes.
...
It wasn't until a long time later.
That Talia opened the door again.
She seemed to struggle a lot about whether to open the door.
Her cheeks were red, she bent her knees slightly, and clutched her skirt tightly.
Talia walked out of the workshop stiffly. The fitted black shirt she had changed into had a tie and bow tie around the collar. The beige jacket was dotted with the golden Hutton Kingdom logo and the Magic Engineering Academy emblem pattern. The shorter skirt could not hide her skin as pure as snow.
"Lan Qi... can you explain to me why the skirt is so short?"
She tried to raise her eyes and asked Lan Qi while staring at him.
"Pfft."
Lan Qi immediately covered his mouth, desperately trying to restrain his trembling shoulders.
He was in too much pain, feeling like he couldn't hold back his expression even when clenching his teeth.
Although he had expected it.
But he didn't expect that seeing it in person would be so funny.
"..."
Talia looked at him with black lines all over her head in disbelief, and murderous aura gradually condensed in the living room.
She slowly walked closer to Lan Qi.
"No, no, no! I reminded Lan Fu that she shouldn't change it into a short skirt according to the regulations. She changed it without permission!"
Lan Qi felt a chill on the top of his head and explained to her loudly.
"..."
Talia's steps stopped.
It was indeed the truth.
So it wasn't that Lan Qi wanted to see her legs that he deliberately shortened her skirt.
"But why are you laughing?"
Talia began to approach Lan Qi again and asked, the murderous aura not dissipating at all.
"There's a kind of indescribable cuteness."
Lan Qi tried hard to defend himself.
He didn't fool Talia at all!
He moved desperately on the sofa, moving further away from Talia.
"Cute?"
Talia was stunned.
That's not right.
According to the normal definition of human beings, shouldn't it be "sexy"? Why is it "cute"?
"Meow."
The Cat Boss now understood what Lan Qi meant.
An eight-hundred-year-old master wearing a short skirt and appearing in front of him in a youthful and beautiful outfit should indeed be described as "cute."
"Wait, come back here!"
Talia finally understood and shouted, pointing at Lan Qi.
Because at this time, Lan Qi had already started running away desperately.
The two of them ran around the coffee table, one chasing and one running, and Lan Qi's dormitory suddenly became a scene of chaos.
"So energetic."
The Cat Boss sat on the ground and sighed, shaking his head.
It seemed that this house would not be peaceful in the future.
