Chapter 58 – Couple Outfits and the Sewing Master

With a new goal in mind, Su Ning refocused on the art of sewing.

She wasn’t sure if it was because of what happened last time—her attitude might have been too harsh—but recently, Luo Nanchuan hadn’t come to customize any equipment.

Feeling lazy, Su Ning extended the three-day customization period to five days. Although she made a lot of miscellaneous items, very few regular clients remained. She guessed: maybe everyone had too high expectations for equipment, or maybe they didn’t have enough money.

In reality, Luo Nanchuan wasn’t concerned with Su Ning’s attitude. Recently, trouble had kept piling up.

Since Yao Qianqian had fallen ill, they had to buy medicine for her. The two men couldn’t expect a young girl to pay for it herself, so they spent nearly twenty silver coins, hiring various priests of different professions to treat her. She finally recovered to a mild cold—not dizzy anymore, not losing health—but still, outside combat, she wouldn’t regenerate HP or mana automatically.

Luo Nanchuan’s generosity deeply moved the girl; she almost offered herself to him on the spot.

Adding in Yan Han’s teasing, Luo Nanchuan had been feeling completely overwhelmed recently. Buying equipment? There wasn’t even money for medicine. How could he afford customized gear?

So, as soon as Yao Qianqian recovered from her severe cold, Luo Nanchuan had to take the two of them out to fight monsters.

First, he hoped Yao Qianqian would level up quickly, so he could send her away after promotion.

Second, they were out of money—truly poor. For better equipment and more gold, Luo Nanchuan had no choice but to grind monsters.

However, Yao Qianqian’s body was weak. With her angelic bloodline, going to the Ghostlands didn’t suppress the demonic energy; instead, it further weakened her.

Luo Nanchuan had no choice but to fight intermittently, and efficiency dropped significantly.

So, in recent days, Su Ning spent the day fighting monsters and the night sewing couple outfits.

After three more days, the three of them finally reached level 13. That same night, Su Ning completed the couple outfits.

“Beep, congratulations! Player has successfully crafted an item. Item check: set equipment: two-piece set, assigning properties.”

“Beep, please name the set.”

“Couple Outfit.” What else could it be called?

“Beep, naming successful.”

“Beep, first item: upper garment assigned successfully. Please name it.”

“Men’s Top.” A set outfit?

“Beep, naming successful.

“Beep, full set bonus activated: Strength +15.”

“Beep, when wearing the set in a team, team experience +10%.”

Truly amazing. When the attributes appeared, Su Ning shared them in the group chat.

“Blue-grade! Su Ge, six six six!” — Houyang’s half-hearted but cheerful compliment.

“Blue-grade! Su Ge is amazing!” — Duoduo’s casual yet gradually delighted reply.

Su Ning hadn’t expected to craft a blue-grade item so quickly. Her crafting experience skyrocketed, and her sewing skill directly leveled up—Sewing Master. Her mood soared—but she didn’t have time to enjoy it.

The slightly shameless couple immediately knocked on Su Ning’s door.

“Good evening, Su Ge.”

“Good evening, Su Ge.”

They greeted in unison, then immediately glanced at the table. Whenever they needed something, their serious attitude instantly appeared.

Su Ning didn’t make them wait, picking up the outfits and handing them over.

They happily accepted them. Duoduo examined the clothes and said, “Su Ge, tomorrow we should try fighting ghosts.”

Su Ning nodded. “Indeed, we should fight ghosts. And I have a new idea.”

Ignoring their surprised looks, Su Ning continued.

“I want to live in the Ghostlands.”

“No! Living in the Ghostlands? Su Ge, aren’t you afraid of ghosts?” Duoduo was the first to oppose it. Everything else was fine, but the Ghostlands? In plain terms, it was a pre-apocalypse graveyard. How could anyone live there?

Su Ning smiled calmly. “It’s fine. I’m a demon. Living in the Ghostlands is one way to improve myself.”

Even knowing Su Ning had sufficient supplies, Duoduo still worried about him living there.

“Then why not find somewhere else? Ghostlands…”

“Duoduo, even if it’s full of zombies, I have to go through it. And I have a mouse-hole shelter, a pull-out bed—very safe. Yesterday, I even discovered a makeshift bathroom, with a sink and a toilet. Very convenient.”

Seeing Duoduo’s continued concern, Su Ning added,

“I’m a demon. If you think the Ghostlands are bad, think about it: ghost houses, cemeteries, corpse farms… what’s a good place for me?”

Su Ning sighed lightly. With a bloodline affinity for demons, there was no choice.

Duoduo knew Su Ning had no alternative if he wanted to purify his bloodline. She sighed and said no more.

Watching them leave, Su Ning decided to make new equipment for her parents soon. Trusting the Sewing Master, she thought maybe anything she made would automatically be blue-grade!

Since she planned to stay in the Ghostlands tomorrow night, she needed to inform Baihe.

Opening a private chat:

Su Ning: “Mudan, I might stay in the wild tonight. It may be inconvenient to heal Baihe in time.”

After a moment:
Mudan: “I discussed with my sisters. If possible, Narcissus can bring Baihe and meet you outside the city in the morning. Is that okay?”

Before Su Ning could reply, Mudan sent another message:

Mudan: “Narcissus will protect Baihe. We’ll bring our own sleeping bags. But we do have some enemies. I hope you can message me promptly if anything happens.”

Seeing Mudan’s unfinished message, Su Ning understood—it was simply a request for her help in protecting Baihe.

However, although she cared, she wasn’t easily swayed by beauty. Agreeing could risk involving Duoduo and Houyang.

Su Ning: “That won’t work. Your enemies might endanger my friends. What I can accept is: tomorrow morning I’ll heal Baihe, and the day after, you bring her to the Ghostlands. I’ll give you coordinates. After healing, you must take her away.”

Mudan: “Okay.”
