On the drastically changed bloodline talent card, she suddenly asked in shock, “Why are you dressed so revealingly?”
The snatched image of the upper body dress finally froze on the scene where the collar was slightly bursting open, the half-hidden fair skin appearing particularly striking.
Shiya was stunned for a moment, her gaze sweeping across the card until she heard the young lady’s words, then she realized what she was referring to—
The change on the card.
Immediately, the girl’s cheeks flushed rapidly.
Now, the card image of “Succubus Bride·Shiya” had become a deep-neck off-shoulder wedding dress.
Compared to the previous “Elegant Songstress·Shiya” form, this posture was bolder, with large expanses of snow-white delicate skin exposed, forming a strong visual contrast with the bloodstains remaining on the dress.
“You—Young lady, don’t look!”
Seeing herself like this for the first time, Shiya’s mind spun, and she reached out to grab the card back.
Only then did she remember that she had just subconsciously adjusted her appearance in front of the young lady, which made her even more flustered.
Leonora, however, pinched the card and pulled it back, shaking it lightly, a hint of jealousy in her tone.
“Give it to you? Then who is that ‘burning girl’ you’re holding in your arms? Are you trying to marry her?”
Her gaze fell on the card, as if she had already seen through something.
The bloodline talent card would constantly change form under the influence of its owner’s state of mind and destiny anchor.
Shiya became somewhat angry, puffing out her cheeks, hands on her hips, almost blurting out, “Who else could it be? It’s you, young lady!”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she froze herself, her face turning even redder.
Leonora also stiffened for a moment, then turned her head away, suppressing the curve of her lips, and said quietly, “Really, what strange thoughts are you having in your head? Fancying yourself dressed like this…”
Being teased like this, Shiya’s heartbeat grew more chaotic, and she hurried forward.
“Less nonsense, give me back the card!”
She grabbed Leonora’s arm and bent down to search the pocket of her skirt.
Leonora wanted to dodge, but the next moment her body went slightly stiff.
The distance between them suddenly closed, and the girl’s soft figure inadvertently brushed against her side.
At that moment of contact, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Shiya’s movement didn’t stop, instead becoming more flustered.
As they struggled, the closeness increased.
Losing her balance, she leaned forward and directly pressed against her.
Leonora suddenly stopped, pursed her lips, lowered her head, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
Shiya paused, faintly catching a wisp of subtle fragrance, though she didn’t know where it came from.
She looked around in confusion.
“Young lady, are you using too much perfume?”
Leonora didn’t answer, but a layer of mist gradually formed in her eyes.
Shiya was startled, thinking she had made her angry, so she quickly raised her hands.
“Well… I’ll leave the card with you for now.”
She tried to calm her by taking her hand.
But in the next moment, she inadvertently brushed against the other’s sleeve again.
“Don’t!”
Leonora almost spoke with a trembling voice.
In the distance, the faint sound of flowing water could be heard, like a fountain moving in the courtyard.
Shiya pricked up her ears.
“Is there a fountain near the piano room?”
Just as she was puzzled, she suddenly noticed a shadow outside the windowsill.
A figure with long straight black hair stood there quietly, her expression cold, her aura icy.
The woman slowly spoke.
“Young lady, I’ve brought a change of clothes, care products, scented candles, and some… water-attribute auxiliary magic tools.”
Shiya froze.
This person was Leonora’s guard, Lilith.
Lilith gently sniffed the air, raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked at Leonora with a hint of shock in her eyes.
“Young lady, it’s only just gotten dark, and you’ve already…”
Before she could finish, Leonora cut her off with a knock.
“Shut up. Take all that messy stuff away!”
Leonora said through gritted teeth.
“I only came to prepare a change of underwear for you.”
“I said shut up!”
After a while, Shiya walked out from behind the folding screen, having changed into a new dress.
She wore a deep blue elegant long dress with a floor-length hem, a fist-sized purple gem at the collar.
Her fair long legs were wrapped in black stockings, making her figure appear more graceful and alluring.
Leonora, meanwhile, changed into a simple dark green belted short skirt, with her long hair casually tied into a low ponytail.
Shiya carefully lifted the hem, afraid of dirtying the fabric.
“Young lady, isn’t this too expensive?”
Leonora turned her head away.
“Lilith prepared it. It has nothing to do with me.”
Lilith immediately raised her hand from the side.
“That’s right, that’s right. The young lady specially gave the measurements.”
Leonora’s face reddened.
“Shut up!”
Then she cleared her throat and changed the subject.
“Where to next? Didn’t you want to go to a dessert shop?”
Lilith was about to respond, but Shiya shook her head first.
“Sorry, I need to go pick up little Ilya, so I’ll be heading back.”
She gently smoothed her hair, clearly wanting to change out of these fancy clothes as soon as possible.
Leonora turned her face slightly and gave a light snort.
But Lilith suddenly clapped her hands.
“Oh my, young lady, how did you know I wanted dessert?”
Shiya looked at the two of them suspiciously, feeling as if they had reached some kind of understanding.
When the three of them arrived at the dessert shop, that relaxed atmosphere quickly dissipated.
The shop owner was sweating profusely, his fingers trembling nonstop.
“Young lady, we really don’t know where Miss Ilya went.”
He pointed to a closed dead-end alley behind the kitchen.
“We’ve already reported it to the police.”
At the dark depths of the alley, a manhole cover had been lifted, revealing no light underneath, only a faint ominous aura seeping out.
