Chapter 132: She Wore a Long Dress

With the New Year, it’s time for a new look.

The day before New Year’s Day, the day of New Year’s Eve.

Wu Ying Xue was still running the Green Dragon Deity Qi alone as before, observing the sky and earth to understand the most rationale, and swinging the long spear to practice all kinds of spear techniques.

Wait until martial arts practice is over.

Out of habit, she wanted to get to the center of Flatwater County, to the seat of the Hsu Department.

Gonna do something about it?

Actually, no.

The girl just thought that other things were too boring and far better than staying by Mister’s side, listening to his funny little stories or helping him with his political affairs.

“Huh, this is ……”, the footsteps have just stepped out, Wu Yingxue found it wrong.

The red and white robe on his body, as well as the exquisite light armor of his jacket, at some point, had already opened up tiny cracks, and there were even many openings present.

Inexplicably, the young girl recalled the phrase, “New Year, New Things”.

Before the Ting Yuan royal family was liquidated.

As a young girl of the county lord, she has endless clothes to wear every year, and she must be bright and shiny on New Year’s Day, so she must not be wearing torn clothes.

But times are different now.

The young girl is no longer a Sheriff.

She, herself, was even less interested in dressing herself.

Only, after all, it was New Year’s Eve once a year, and it wasn’t always nice to go to see a gentleman dressed in such rags.

“Get someone to sew it up,” Wu Ying Xue mused.

She moved fast.

Jumping onto the roof between the rise and fall of his legs, like a light bird of prey, with a single step, a single leap, he quickly swept past a house and headed towards his destination.

When they stopped, what appeared in front of them were many, many women doing needlework.

They are either someone’s mother or someone’s wife.

Not good at fighting.

Soft by nature.

And yet, they want to do something for the Army of the Living.

So, it was arranged by the Hsu Department to get together and take charge of some simple chores.

“Young Mister Wu?” , someone saw Wu Ying Xue’s arrival and inquired about the purpose of the visit in a puzzled manner.

The young girl did not hide, and honestly pointed to the clothes on her body, saying that she would like to ask someone to help mend them, not too fine, just fill in the missing holes.

Such a simple request.

Naturally fulfilled.

The women took up the job with great enthusiasm.

But the next development, again greatly unexpected by the young girl, was that the women pushed her from behind and forced her inside the house.

“Young Mr. Wu is planning to meet with Great Mr. Xu, right?”

“We get it, we get it.”

“We’ll mend the broken leaks, and as for today, Mr. Wu Junior will wear a different set of clothes.”

Wu Ying Xue’s eyes widened, “Eh!?”

The sudden development was something the young girl had not expected, and she could not figure out what was happening, and by the time she stepped out of the house again, she was wearing a different set of clothes.

No longer the valiant red and white power suit.

There is also no manifestation of fierce external light armor.

Instead, it was a plain, light green dress.

The skirt rippled like a lake, showing the shape of the wind, as silky and soft as it could be, and was tied tightly at the waist by the ink-colored palace polyester, hanging down in equal lengths at the ends.

Beautifully clouded fabric.

Swaying head bun flowers.

When the young girl steps and walks, it is as if she came out of the painting, graceful and soft, all without the usual big grin.

The dresses are great, the decorations are great, but it’s the young girls themselves who really show off this beauty.

“Is this …… really me?”

Wu Ying Xue was a bit bewildered.

She was dismayed to see her full face through the bronze mirror brought by a bystander.

In Wu Ying Xue’s memory, she had also worn such a long dress when she lived in the royal residence, although not many times, but she did wear it.

Just a memory.

Either time, it didn’t look as good as it does now.

Did ……

Is this what the elders in the house used to say, “A woman is a woman”?

The young girl was in deep thought, greatly shocked.

“It’s a bit of a bind, but it can’t be helped.”

After the shock passed, Wu Ying Xue frowned, gently pulling down her sleeves and tugging on her neckline.

Used to fighting in strong armor, she always felt that such a long dress was too inconvenient, and no matter what she did, she didn’t feel as comfortable as she usually did.

But.

There’s no way around it.

On New Year’s Eve, the girl herself would be ashamed to wear her original tattered power suit.

“I hope Mr. won’t find it hard to see ……”

The mouth murmured.

The girl subconsciously tried to leap onto the roof, but then remembered the clothing change.

Running and treading the rooftops with a long skirt is more or less noticeable.

After thinking about it, the young girl chose to walk honestly on foot, dressed in a long dress towards the official house in the center of the county in front of the astonished gazes of the walkers.

That was originally where the county officials worked and rested.

It now serves as the office and warehouse of the Hsu Department.

The official house is spacious.

It’s more or less a waste of space if only one person lives in the Xu system.

It was just that people didn’t want to disturb them, fearing that they would startle the Xu System, who was dealing with government affairs and practicing martial arts, so Xu System was forced to live alone.

Everyone else, including Wu Ying Xue, lived in very small places.

The Hsu system is unwilling to give preferential treatment only to itself.

He then converted his official residence into a warehouse, with most of the space used for storage and only a small piece left for office and rest.

“Mister has been getting dumber and dumber lately, and doesn’t even know how to be nice to himself.”

The words were muttered.

Wu Ying Xue made light of the situation.

Bypassing one of the cluttered warehouses and weaving in and out of narrow paths, he reached the door of the Hsu Department’s room without incident.

Fingers outstretched, he was about to pull the door open.

But then it froze in mid-air.

At this moment, the young girl, dressed in a long light green dress, stood quietly in front of the door, and after much hesitation, she gently straightened her hair with her fingers.

The green silk on her forehead was ruffled by her, one moment to the left, the next to the right.

Will it be too scattered?

So she thought, over and over, relentlessly fixing her hair, adjusting the bun that held her long hair back and forth.

Slender fingers pinched the collar opening and smoothed it out meticulously and patiently, even though it was originally flat enough.

What’s missing?

The young girl pondered whether it would be strange for Mr. to dress like this today, as she was usually a brash and airy style.

Well, pull the sleeves up a little ……

Can seem less soft.

However, it’s usually that style, so maybe Mr. would find it nice to change it up once in a while?

The girl repeatedly agonized and hesitated for a long time over various unnecessary details.

Eventually.

Wu Ying Xue took a deep breath and patted her cheeks.

Boldly, he pulled open the door to the room.

Pretend to enter the room without caring.

“Sir, I’m coming.”

The room is empty, there is no response, not to mention that Wu Yingxue want to see the person, only to leave a desktop pile of pending political affairs.

Yes, the Xu system is not in the room.

“Huh!?”

The young girl blinked.

If the Xu system wasn’t there, then wouldn’t her earlier entanglement be meaningless at all?

“Did a stupid thing ……”

Wu Ying Xue wanted to punch herself, but she let it go because she was afraid of pain.

She walked over to where Xu Department’s office was and sat down to take care of political matters, taking the pressure off Xu Department while waiting for his return.
