Red Bean changed into a light pink, vibrant down jacket, a fluffy beret on her head, and a short skirt with thick white stockings on her lower body.
After much deliberation, she still felt that wearing something too flashy and being seen by acquaintances would be a bit embarrassing, even though this outfit was also very pretty.
But at least it was natural.
It was a common urban style, and she knew that bad guy Yun Ming liked to look at legs when walking on the street.
Last time, he even said that it was like flowers blooming brilliantly, and not appreciating them was a lack of romantic sensibility; he just observed the world with a heart that loved beauty.
"If you don't let me look at others, should I look at you?"
He even said something so outrageous. This bad guy had ulterior motives towards her.
He wasn't old, but he had a lot of twisted logic.
But, if he wanted to look, let him look. Let's see what twisted logic he would use to explain himself this time!
She exhaled slowly and walked out from the inner room.
Actually, she had already changed her clothes a long time ago.
She was just squatting in a corner, eavesdropping. She knew it wasn't very good to do that, but listening to her aunt and Yun Ming chat was quite interesting... She was a little curious if they would talk about her.
But after listening for a long time, they were only talking about Yun Ming's two young Apprentices.
Yun Ming seemed very attentive to those two young girls named Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan. Usually, he only took care of his fellow Apprentices.
He wouldn't laugh and talk about so many details otherwise.
Although they didn't talk about her, it was good to listen more, after all, they would always have to interact in the future. She understood the rules of Yun Kui Mountain.
Once a teacher, a father for life.
A Master treats a Apprentice like their own child, or rather, even more so, as the time spent with a Master is longer than with one's own children.
But suddenly, the two began to whisper.
They were so close, whispering in each other's ears, she didn't know what they were mumbling about.
Auntie is so annoying... But then An Nan began to question Yun Ming, not quietly at all, asking if he liked her Red Bean.
Her voice echoed throughout the room.
As if afraid Red Bean wouldn't hear, her aunt was doing it on purpose, and Red Bean noticed this.
Then, Yun Ming hesitated.
Red Bean knew why, so at the moment Yun Ming was about to speak, she popped out to interrupt.
The two also had to stop that topic.
She continued to watch the two of them perform clumsily. Yun Ming was clearly a little flustered. Did he like her? Red Bean didn't know.
But he definitely liked that person.
An Nan winked at her niece and smiled slightly.
"Ah, we were talking about Yun Ming's two newly accepted Apprentices."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
"You're such a robot..."
An Nan punched Yun Ming on the forehead, even the location was exactly the same as where Red Bean had hit him. One could only say they were truly a family.
"...Sister Nan, why are you hitting me again?"
Yun Ming felt wronged.
But his expression was truly infuriating. An Nan wished she could punch him again, but she was afraid of being resented by little Red Bean.
Why hit him?
She hit him because he was a blockhead, why was he speaking so slowly? If he had finished earlier, wouldn't this matter have been settled?!
But she couldn't say that directly. She rolled her eyes and said grumpily.
"Don't you know how to praise our Red Bean for being pretty?"
"Red Bean is pretty, do I still need to praise her? Standing there, isn't that the truth of the world!"
"Hey, you kid..."
Red Bean stood not far away, her eyes curved into crescent moons.
She took small steps towards Yun Ming, and as she got closer, she rubbed Yun Ming's head, "Auntie doesn't know her own strength, don't mind her~"
An Nan's eyes widened instantly. Heaven knows, her heart felt cold... How could this girl be so ungrateful?
She knew how long Red Bean had taken to change her clothes.
Not coming out for so long, Yun Ming might not be suspicious, but she was certain her niece was eavesdropping, and suddenly popping out to interrupt was one thing... Let's just say you were shy.
But she wasn't even married yet, and her elbow was already turning outwards. What would happen after she got married?
Would she sell her aunt and then count money for Yun Ming?
"Alright, alright, don't bother with me.
I've become an outsider, haven't I?
You two get out of here right now, don't come back today!"
She pointed at the door, not seeing them off, urging them to go on their date and not be an eyesore here. An older single "girl" couldn't stand that sour smell.
Red Bean wasn't annoyed, she playfully winked at her aunt secretly.
An Nan rolled her eyes back, looking like 'I don't have a niece like you'.
"Goodbye, Auntie."
"Goodbye, Sister Nan, no need to refund the money, I'll be back."
"Go, go, go, come back again and the fee will be doubled!"
"Oh, then I'll let Red Bean come buy for me, remember to give a discount~"
Bang!
Shameless!
The door was shut, no longer accepting guests.
Red Bean stood at the door, chuckled, and lightly hit Yun Ming's chest, "You're so bad, look how angry you made Auntie."
"It's fine, Sister Nan has a big heart~"
"Oh, by the way, Dad asked me to tell you something..."
"There are two commissions, see if you want to take them. I specifically checked, one is a request from Dad's friend, with no reward, but Dad will definitely be happy if you go."
Yun Ming looked at the commission, it was a task to clear Aether erosion, similar to Launess's. He then opened his mouth to explain.
"Actually, I'm a bit different from others in the sect; I'm basically not susceptible to Aether erosion, so what happened last time... I'm sorry."
"Hmm, I know, Dad told me later."
"So, am I considered one of your own now?"
Red Bean took a few steps in front of Yun Ming, pressing her finger against his chest, and asked seriously.
"You were before, but you never asked, and I wouldn't bring it up if I had nothing to do. When I told you, you didn't believe me."
"So, is it my fault then?"
"It's my fault."
Yun Ming would not be foolish enough to engage in a war of words, insisting on arguing with Red Bean. Wrong, wrong, wrong, it's my fault!
Red Bean was satisfied, and then she continued to explain.
"The other is a commission from Hui Jing Meike under the TOPS Group, to deal with high-risk Aetheric Undead within the Lemnian Hollow. It's dangerous..."
"The reward is a bit too generous. They might just want to use this to further improve their relationship with Yun Kui Mountain."
"I don't know how strong you are, so just consider it yourself..."
"Also, Dad said that from now on, your Yun Kui Mountain commissions will be managed by me~"
Yun Ming was stunned; he hadn't expected that.
He looked at Red Bean, feeling that her smile today was unusually bright, wondering what good thing she had encountered.
"Oh, then I'll have to curry favor with Miss Red Bean."
"No problem, no problem. You'll have to work hard for me from now on, so I can take a good cut~"
After saying all this, Red Bean let out a long breath, then looked up at the bustling street. There were an unusual number of people today... She could already see the Apprentices of Yun Kui Mountain.
As they passed by, they all curiously scrutinized the pair, thinking that there might be some big gossip to enjoy tonight.
Red Bean, this time, was not shy at all. She boldly stared back, forcing the others to retreat, then proudly raised her little head.
"Alright, my work is done. Now it's time for you to atone for your sins. You're not allowed to spank my butt without my permission again, understand?"
Yun Ming rubbed his nose.
Why was this still being brought up? Alright, it was his fault.
"I understand..."
"But, when will you allow it?"
Even though Red Bean had figured some things out, her face still flushed when she heard this. How shameless.
She stomped hard on Yun Ming's foot and stuck out her tongue.
"You guess~"
"Pervert!"
Guess... Yun Ming was puzzled. He had been prepared to be scolded.
But today's Red Bean was unusually unashamed and unannoyed, flirting with him like a young wife. Thinking about it carefully... Normally, he wouldn't be so tactless as to ask such a question.
So, where exactly did things go wrong?
Before he could think further, a small hand gently intertwined with his. It was a little cool, as if she liked the warmth of his palm, so she rubbed against it again.
Yun Ming looked at the girl beside him in surprise.
But her expression was normal, and she, in turn, asked Yun Ming.
"What's wrong?"
"Hand..."
"My hand is cold, can't you warm it for me?"
"It's settled, you have to listen to me all day today~"
"Oh..."
Yun Ming felt as if he were dreaming, his mind a little dazed. Was this development not quite right?
"Hold on tighter, there are so many people. What if I get lost later? Then I won't just punish you for one day."
Red Bean held Yun Ming's hand and walked forward, cutting through obstacles and retorting to the various teasing glances from passersby and acquaintances.
Was her face red?
It was very red, the girl was incredibly beautiful!
And she was also cool, as if saying, I just want to hold his hand, do you have any objections?
As for the reason for doing this, there was no other.
If Heaven doesn't grant it, I'll take it myself. She didn't believe that pervert Yun Ming could resist, even if she was still young now.
She would grow up eventually, wouldn't she?
