Chapter 39: Lord Song, You Look Great in These Clothes!

“Four outfits—a suit, a sportswear set, a casual outfit, and a silk traditional-style outfit. Try them on and see if they fit.”

If they didn’t fit, she’d just buy more.

Her car was parked right in front of a luxury store.

Each outfit cost no less than 50,000, but she didn’t even blink while buying them.

Song Lufeng’s fingers brushed over the four outfits.

These clothes…

They were incredibly precious.

Completely different from the ones she usually sent through the portal.

And for some inexplicable reason, when he received these clothes, he instinctively avoided the others.

Was he supposed to change into them for her to see?

Suddenly, he felt his face heat up, a little nervous and embarrassed.

After some deliberation, he chose the most formal one and went to change.

Of course, Gu Man couldn’t see him change.

Her phone was extremely well-behaved—anything involving privacy was automatically censored.

Just like yesterday, when she sent over bathwater but never saw a single frame of the bathing process.

Sure enough, the screen flickered, and just like a dress-up game, Song Lufeng appeared already dressed in the suit.

He even put on a pair of glasses.

The glasses had been on the mannequin, and she thought they suited him, so she had sent them along.

Unexpectedly, he actually wore them.

The moment he stepped out, Gu Man’s heart skipped a beat.

Hiss—

Right in the feels.

Song Lufeng’s appearance was already her type—otherwise, she wouldn’t have wanted to spend money on him back when she thought he was just a game character.

Now, seeing him in a suit she had carefully chosen…

There were no words to describe it.

If you know, you know.

“Phone, can you take screenshots?”

【If an ordinary phone can do it, of course, I can too.】

Oh wow, a little attitude there.

“Take them for me.”

Click! Click! Click! Click!

A flood of screenshots filled her phone’s album.

Song Lufeng came out wearing the suit but didn’t receive any feedback from Gu Man. He started to feel uneasy.

“Savior…?”

Did it not look good?

Little did he know, Gu Man was busy frantically taking screenshots.

“This set… it’s okay, I guess. I’m not sure if it suits your style. Try another one?”

Gu Man lied through her teeth.

Song Lufeng found it a bit odd but didn’t suspect her motives.

So, he went to change again.

This time, he put on the sportswear.

He removed the glasses, but his charisma remained just as overwhelming.

Click! Click! Click! Another round of frantic screenshots.

“Nope, this one is just alright. Try the casual outfit instead.”

“Savior…”

Song Lufeng started to sense something was off.

His heart pounded.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to change—it was just… embarrassing.

He had never done something like this in front of a girl before.

Although he was an adult, the system had never assigned him a partner, and he himself had never been interested in such things.

But now…

This felt strange.

Yet, he still didn’t doubt Gu Man.

He genuinely thought she was just trying to see what suited him best.

So, he changed again.

This time, when he stepped out, Gu Man was absolutely stunned.

A white sweater.

It softened the battle-hardened fierceness he had built over years of fighting, creating a calm and peaceful aura.

With the glasses on, he looked even gentler.

Feeling a little self-conscious, he avoided looking at the screen, picking up a book to cover his face. But then he realized that was too deliberate, so he reluctantly glanced at the screen with a helpless expression.

“Does this one work?”

Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely yes!

Gu Man squealed internally like a groundhog while continuing her screenshot spree.

Who could resist? Even across centuries, this kind of refined beauty was a direct visual attack!

But then she remembered he was technically a few hundred years younger than her, which made her feel slightly guilty.

…But she still couldn’t stop looking.

“I’m just looking… hehehe…”

Looking isn’t illegal.

It’s not like they’d ever meet in person.

What’s wrong with fangirling a little?

“And the silk one…”

Silk was smooth and form-fitting, hehehe…

Just as she was about to ask him to try it on—

“City Lord! Director Zhao from the research institute has finished processing the Beast King’s Heart—oh, sh*t!”

Shu Weng rushed in carrying a box but froze mid-step when he saw Song Lufeng.

“City Lord… your outfit…”

Song Lufeng’s expression darkened slightly, feeling a little awkward.

But he was mentally strong enough to quickly move on.

“The Beast Emperor’s Heart is ready?”

Shu Weng, still dazed, handed over the box while staring at Song Lufeng in disbelief.

Then suddenly, he blurted out,

“City Lord, can I trade half my military merits for that outfit?”

Song Lufeng’s face instantly turned black.

“No.”

He rejected the request without hesitation.

Unwilling to give up, Shu Weng pleaded,

“Then at least give me one set! If not that one, how about that silk one?”

Pointing at the unopened silk outfit.

Song Lufeng’s face darkened further.

Snatching the box, he shoved Shu Weng toward the door.

“Have you done today’s drills? Finished patrol duty?”

Shu Weng clung to the doorframe.

“Then at least let me trade military merits for a set from the warehouse! That’s reasonable, right?”

Waving him off, Song Lufeng dismissed him, and Shu Weng happily ran off.

Poor guy—he’d soon learn that even among clothes, there was a hierarchy.

“Savior, I have a gift for you. Please wait a moment.”

Taking out the Beast Emperor’s Heart, he skillfully embedded eight high-grade Beast King crystals into it, forming a pendant shaped like a pair of wings, as if they were gently cradling something.

Then he transmitted it over.

“Please wear it around your neck.”

Gu Man received the necklace and immediately loved it.

It was small, about the size of a pinky finger, but exquisitely designed and dazzling.

When she put it around her neck, it rested perfectly against her fair collarbone.

So delicate, so beautiful.

The moment she wore it, she felt a mysterious energy growing inside her, strengthening…

She instantly understood—this necklace was no ordinary accessory.

“Lord Song, thank you for the gift.”

She gently caressed the pendant, smiling.

No need for flowery words—this necklace could enhance her abilities, and she needed that.

“I need to get to work.”

Her car had already arrived at Mu Corporation’s building.

Just as she was about to call Mu Baixuan, a luxury car pulled up.

Lin Muyu and Gu Xiaoya stepped out.

“Brother Lin, you have to help me secure a collaboration with Mu Corporation.”

“As long as I become their brand ambassador, I’ll solidify my spot as a top-tier actress. It’ll benefit your Lin Group as well.”

Gu Xiaoya clung to Lin Muyu’s arm, pouting.

Lin Muyu gently pushed her away.

“Mind your image.”

He adjusted his clothes, smoothing out any wrinkles.

“Mu Corporation is a state-owned enterprise. They value an artist’s reputation. It won’t be easy to get a deal with them.”

Gu Xiaoya pouted but straightened up, trying to appear more elegant.

Then she noticed a futuristic energy-powered car.

“Look! That car is all over the internet! Turns out it’s a Mu Corporation product!”

“If we secure the deal, I’ll have them give me one.”

Lin Muyu glanced at it and was equally impressed.

Now he was even more determined to make this deal happen.

They walked into Mu Corporation’s building.

“Hello, we have an appointment with Miss Mu.”

The receptionist made a call, still smiling politely.

“Apologies, our vice president is expecting an important guest and is unavailable to meet you.”
