I Have A Sword

Chapter 446: Ethnic Costume

Sleep with you?

Ye Guan was both stunned and speechless upon hearing Cizhen's remark.

Of course, he understood what she was trying to say.

Cizhen stared at Ye Guan with a mysterious smile tugging at her lips. Her words were suggestive, but Ye Guan saw that her eyes were devoid of any impure thoughts.

Ye Guan shook his head and said, "I just wanted to hug you, that's all."

Cizhen didn't say anything. Instead, she looked away and stared at the scenery outside, saying, "It was daytime the last time I was here, so I missed out on the night scenery of this village. Fortunately, I've made up for it tonight. Otherwise, it would have been a shame."

Ye Guan looked out of the window as well, and he could see many well-designed houses on stilts that stretched across the plains and went halfway up the mountains.

The lights coming from the houses created a kaleidoscope of lights, which was a breathtaking sight.

Cizhen put a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "I don't know if I can ever return once I leave this time."

Ye Guan's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Sister Zhen, are you about to leave?"

"Aren't you about to leave as well?" Cizhen asked, smiling.

Ye Guan was silent. Indeed, he would soon leave this planet. His plan was to take over the Milky Way Clan, and then he would leave to return to the Guanxuan Universe. There were many matters he had to attend to in the Guanxuan Universe, so he had to go back as soon as possible.

Cizhen smiled and said, "Let's go sleep."

Ye Guan retracted his thoughts and replied, "Okay."

Cizhen walked up to the bed and lay down on the bed. Ye Guan stared at Cizhen as she lay down on the bed, and he was about to follow her, but he started hesitatingCizhen was just too beautiful tonight.

Cizhen was clad in a plain white dress that made her look both elegant and pure, and her big bright eyes resembled sacred snow lotuses that could only be found on the summit of the highest mountains.

Ye Guan stood by the bedside, looking all awkward.

Cizhen blinked and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Ye Guan laughed sheepishly and said, "I think I'll sleep on the ground."

Cizhen rolled her eyes at him. "Don't pretend like you don't want to sleep here."

Then, Cizhen patted the empty side of the bed and said, "Come here."

Ye Guan smiled wryly and hesitated briefly before ultimately jumping on the bed to lay down next to Cizhen.

Cizhen rolled over to Ye Guan and used his left arm as a pillow. The way she did so in one fell swoop made it clear that she had done it many times before. Cizhen then buried her head into Ye Guan's chest, snuggling up to him.

"Don't you dare have any dirty thoughts. I'm Cishu and Cijing's big sister," Cizhen warned.

Ye Guan chuckled bitterly at the remark. You shouldn't have brought it up. Now, I can't help but have dirty thoughts.

Cizhen looked up at Ye Guan, and a cunning light fleeted across her eyes as she said, "Whatever. I believe in your character."

Ye Guan's expression soured. Damn it, my troublesome character!

"Keep the Universe Map safe. It will be really helpful to you in the future."

Ye Guan nodded. "Okay."

"Let's go to sleep," Cizhen said.

"I can't sleep."

"Why?"

"Can you help me suppress my Mad Demon Bloodline? It's making my mind wander."

Mad Demon Bloodline: ???

Cizhen's lips curled up into a smile. "How many times are you planning on making your Mad Demon Bloodline take the blame for you, young man?"

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled as he hugged her tightly. Ye Guan's heart was filled with delight, but he was in agony at the same time. The fact that he could hug such a beautiful lady brought him immense delight, but he was in agony, as he couldn't do anything to the gorgeous lady in his arms.

It was truly experiencing both heaven and hell at the same time!

Just then, Ye Guan was reminded of something. "Sister Zhen, how long will you keep suppressing the Universe Tribulation?"

Cizhen smiled. "Why do you ask?"

"Just curious," Ye Guan replied.

"You must be exhausted. Sleep," Cizhen said.

Ye Guan frowned, but he decided not to pry. Cizhen was right. He was truly exhausted, so he fell asleep instantly the moment he closed his eyes.

Cizhen opened her eyes slowly and revealed a charming smile as she stared at Ye Guan's handsome face, which was only a few inches away from her own face.

Just like that, they fell asleep in each other's arms.

However, Ye Guan ended up having a variety of weird dreams.

A ray of sunlight pierced the room as daybreak arrived. Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly and looked down at Cizhen, who was curled up in his embrace like a cat. Ye Guan smiled and lowered his head to kiss her gently on the forehead.

Cizhen stirred from her sleep and opened her eyes.

"You're awake," Cizhen said while staring at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan nodded. "It's about time we return to Yanjing."

"Indeed," Cizhen said, smiling.

The two got out of bed, and they were soon back on the streets after freshening up.

Cizhen's gaze landed on a peculiar shop that displayed ethnic tribal clothes. A strange light flashed in her eyes upon seeing the clothes on display.

Ye Guan noticed that and asked, "Do you want to try them on?"

"Yes," Cizhen said, nodding.

The two walked into the shop, and the shop owner immediately greeted them.

The shop owner was a woman dressed in ethnic tribal clothes. The shop owner looked like she was in her late twenties, and she greeted both Ye Guan and Cizhen with an amiable smile.

The shop owner was a bit surprised to see Cizhen. She then looked at Ye Guan and said, "Your girlfriend is really pretty, sir."

Girlfriend?

"Hahahaha. Is that so?" " Ye Guan laughed heartily and held her hand.

Cizhen turned to look at Ye Guan, and a hint of mirth filled her eyes.

The shop owner examined Cizhen from top to bottom, asking, "Miss, would you like to try wearing our clothes here?"

Cizhen hurriedly nodded.

"Unfortunately, the clothes here aren't beautiful enough to match your beauty, miss."

Cizhen was stunned.

Fortunately, the shop owner still had a few tricks up her sleeve. "Give me a moment."

The shop owner went to the back of the store. After a few moments, the shop owner returned, carrying a huge chest with her. The shop owner then opened the chest, revealing an ethnic tribal costume inside.

The costume was more intricately designed than the clothes on display in the shop, and it came with many accessories as well.

Cizhen's eyes were shining as she stared at the costume.

The shop owner asked, "Miss, why don't you try this one?"

"A silver ethnic ceremonial dress" Cizhen trailed off and looked at the shop owner in surprise. "Was this your bridal outfit?"

The shop owner nodded and grinned. "Yes!"

Cizhen smiled. "Why would you let someone else wear your wedding dress?"

The shop owner replied, "What's the harm in that? And I'm curious about just how beautiful you would look in a gorgeous ethnic[1] wedding dress. Here, let's go to the fitting room."

The shop owner picked up the costume and pulled Cizhen to the back of the shop.

Ye Guan smiled as he watched them go, and his heart became filled with anticipation.

A few minutes later, Cizhen walked out, blowing Ye Guan away.

Cizhen was wearing a delicate silver crown crafted from silver. The silver ornaments hanging from the crown resembled tassels, and they gently rested on her forehead as well as behind her ears.

The silver ornaments would collide with each other at Cizhen's every move, creating a clear and melodious sound. Cizhen was now wearing a bright red ethnic costume embroidered in blue. The costume seemed to have been meticulously hand-knitted with exquisite patterns that were both vivid and beautiful, and a silver necklace radiating a dazzling silver glow was around her neck as well.

The costume had three-quarter sleeves, and it fell to her calves, exposing her fair wrists and lower leg. Cizhen's skin was very fair, so she seemed to glow beneath the radiant luster of the silver accessories and ornaments.

Overall, Cizhen looked incredibly beautiful.

Ye Guan couldn't help but be mesmerized by her beauty. Ye Guan's first impression of Cizhen was that she was an elegant, timeless beauty. However, the ethnic costume transformed her overall demeanor, turning her into a valiant beauty.

Cizhen revealed a breathtaking smile upon seeing Ye Guan's dumbfounded look.

"How do I look?"

Ye Guan walked up to her and muttered in awe, "You look wonderful."

Cizhen's smile widened at his words.

The shop owner could not help but compliment Cizhen as well, exclaiming, "Miss, you're really beautiful! The men in this tribe would definitely go crazy at the sight of you if you were to go outside while wearing this costume!

Cizhen admired herself in the mirror with a smile, clearly delighted by what she was seeing.

"Mister, would you like to try on an ethnic costume as well? I'll take some pictures of you two in matching costumes," said the shop owner.

Ye Guan looked at her and pointed at himself. "Me?"

"Yes," the shop owner replied.

Ye Guan looked at Cizhen.

Cizhen smiled at Ye Guan and said, "I won't force you, but don't even think about sleeping with Cishu again if you refuse."

Ye Guan's lips twitched. Sister Zhen, that's a terrifying threat

Cizhen rolled her eyes upon seeing Ye Guan's expression. Then, her eyes seemed to gleam in a bit of embarrassment as she urged, "Just hurry up and get changed."

Ye Guan laughed and turned to the shop owner. "I'll take you up on the offer, then, Miss. Thank you so much."

"All right, follow me," the shop owner said.

A few minutes later, Ye Guan emerged wearing a male ethnic costume. However, the male counterpart of Cizhen's ethnic costume seemed to have been crafted with a minimalist theme in mind. Fortunately, Ye Guan was incredibly handsome, so even the plain silver suit and black pants suited him.

It seemed that attractive people would truly look good regardless of their clothes.

Cizhen's lips curled up into a smile. "You look great!"

Ye Guan chuckled and held her hand.

Just then, the shop owner returned from the back of the store with a camera in hand.

"Stand close to each other, please! I'll take a picture of the both of you."

The shop owner pointed at the camera and exclaimed, "Smile at the camera!"

Cizhen and Ye Guan obliged, and the shop owner snapped a photo of them right away, capturing their grinning figures, which would be immortalized by the photo.

Ye Guan and Cizhen then changed into their previous clothes after admiring themselves for a few minutes in the mirror. The shop owner escorted them to the door.

"Miss, can you give me a pen and a piece of paper?" Ye Guan suddenly said.

"Sure," the shop owner replied and obliged.

Ye Guan took the pen and started writing something on the piece of paper as the shop owner stared curiously at him.

After a while, Ye Guan stopped writing and handed the piece of paper to the shop owner.

"Miss, whenever you're free, you should follow the instructions on that piece of paper and cultivate," Ye Guan suggested.

The shop owner blinked. "Cultivate?"

"Yes," Ye Guan replied. Then, he returned the pen to the shop owner before turning around to leave with Cizhen. contemporary romance

The shop owner skimmed through the content of the piece of paper with curious eyes. Once the shop owner could no longer see Ye Guan and Cizhen, she put away the piece of paper and went back into her shop. Then, she printed out the picture she had taken of the two and hung it on the most conspicuous spot in her shop.

The photo of Ye Guan and Cizhen wasn't the only photo on the wall. The shop owner had a hobby of taking pictures of customers wearing ethnic costumes, so an entire wall in her shop was riddled with many photos.

However, Ye Guan and Cizhen's photo stood out the most.

The shop owner admired Ye Guan and Cizhen's photo for a while before walking to the back of her shop with a smile.

Meanwhile, neither Ye Guan nor Cizhen knew that their photo today would end up changing their fates. Of course, it was a story set in the distant future.

1. They call it ethnic, but I think it's just a wedding dress.
