[Mission Reward: Card Upgraded to Tier 5 (Completed)]

Two and a half hours later.

[Promotion Adventure (Suicidal Edition): Since you’ve already come this far on your own, why not boldly showcase your worth?]

[Quest Requirement: As the saying goes, a woman dresses up for the one who appreciates her. Why not sneak into Su Qi’s room and figure out his preferences?]

[Quest Reward: Card promoted to Tier 5 (Completed)]

The promotion adventure had failed again and again.

Liu Yuan never expected it would finally be completed through such a quest…

She focused her attention on the card.

Time to check what changes the promotion had brought.

Devour… non-everyday clothing?

Her mind involuntarily flashed back to the outfit she had "borrowed" from her brother’s room yesterday—

A fluffy, tailed fox cub cosplay set.

Now that she thought about it, that definitely fell under the category of "non-everyday clothing."

Her cheeks burned uncontrollably again.

Just imagining the design of that outfit made her toes curl.

But…

Liu Yuan clenched her fists.

For the sake of unlocking greater power!

She didn’t want to be a burden to her brother.

She wanted to be able to protect herself.

So, devouring was necessary.

Yes, that’s all there was to it.

As if convincing herself, Liu Yuan nodded firmly.

She returned to her room and pulled out an inconspicuous paper bag from under her bed.

Inside was the very set of fox cub cosplay that made her blush just thinking about it—complete with an adorable pair of fox ear headbands. The only thing missing was the tail, which was still with Su Qi, probably unrecoverable.

Would this still count as a complete set?

Liu Yuan spread the outfit on her bed.

Closing her eyes, she focused her mind.

The faintly glowing phantom of the card materialized in her palm.

Carefully, she guided the card to hover above the cosplay set.

Concentrating, Liu Yuan silently commanded, "Devour."

The card’s glow intensified slightly.

A nearly imperceptible stream of light extended from the card, gently brushing against the cosplay outfit.

For a fleeting moment, the clothing seemed to lose its "essence," its colors and texture turning hazy before returning to normal.

But Liu Yuan could clearly sense something being drawn away, absorbed into the card.

At the same time, the phantom card in her hand felt heavier, as if "full," its glow dimming slightly.

Did it work?

She immediately immersed her consciousness into the card.

Under the [Thousand Faces Infinite Transformations] description, the devour slots had clearly changed.

[Current devour slots: 1/2]

Beside this line, a small icon had appeared—a miniature version of the fox cub cosplay, labeled "Skin · Fox Cub Wife."

Success!

Which meant she could now manifest it anytime she wanted… and wear it?

No, no, no!

She shook her head violently, as if trying to fling the terrifying thought away.

This was purely for testing the card’s abilities!

Yes, nothing more!

It definitely wasn’t because she had any strange thoughts about such outfits!

Her gaze returned to the card’s information.

There was still one devour slot left…

She could still absorb one more non-everyday outfit.

Didn’t Su Qi have another set…?

No, absolutely not. That one was off-limits no matter what.

For now, maybe she should test the so-called ‘skin attributes’?

She needed to understand the specifics of this new power.

Know yourself and your tools—only then could she… better protect herself and avoid troubling her brother.

Right, that was the plan.

Focusing her mind again on the phantom card in her palm, the hazy glow grew slightly clearer under her will.

Hesitantly, she directed her consciousness toward the tiny fox cub icon.

[Activate Skin: Fox Cub Wife?]

The question appeared directly in her mind.

Liu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.

Here it comes.

She closed her eyes, as if making a monumental decision.

[Yes.]

The moment the command was given, the phantom card in her palm trembled violently.

Then, it transformed into an indescribable, faintly seductive pink glow.

At the same time, a peculiar sensation spread through her entire body.

Not the overwhelming surge of strength, nor the weightless thrill of heightened speed.

Instead, it was… subtle. As if her coordination and senses had sharpened, becoming more… supple?

Liu Yuan hurriedly concentrated, checking the card’s current status.
