...Where on earth could it be hidden?
Liu Yuan scanned the room once more.
Su Qi's room was actually quite simple.
She'd already checked all the obvious hiding spots.
Unless...
Her gaze drifted unconsciously toward the window.
The curtains swayed gently in the breeze, revealing a narrow gap near the corner of the wall.
There, piled haphazardly, were a few... well, probably delivery boxes?
Wedged between the gaps of those boxes, she caught a glimpse of a familiar-looking paper bag.
That's it!
Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, her heart skipping a beat.
She didn't move immediately, instead creeping toward the door like a thief, listening intently for any sounds from the kitchen.
The noises from Su Qi's direction had changed.
Now it was a clattering "ding-ding-pang-pang."
He seemed to be engaged in some kind of culinary battle.
Safe for now!
Liu Yuan tiptoed silently to the window.
She pushed aside the delivery boxes.
Her fingers carefully hooked the paper bag, lifting it gently.
It was light, the contents inside soft and fluffy.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yuan sat on Su Qi's bed and placed the bag on her lap.
Her heart pounded wildly.
This doesn't feel right...
What on earth is inside? Why would he go to such lengths to hide it?
Fortunately, the bag wasn't sealed shut.
Just one peek...
She'd put it right back afterward!
Inside the bag were two small gift boxes.
The left one was tied with a ribbon bow, while the right was plainer, with no decorations at all.
Her little canine tooth unconsciously bit her lower lip as her fingers twirled the ribbon twice before untying the bow.
The first thing that caught her eye was a tuft of white... and orange fur?
Puzzled, Liu Yuan reached in and slowly pulled out the contents.
The texture was soft, slightly fuzzy to the touch.
She pulled it out completely.
A pair of fluffy, upright... ears?
They looked somewhat like a fox's?
She wasn't sure.
She kept looking.
There seemed to be a piece of clothing inside.
When Liu Yuan fully unfolded it and laid it out before her, her face instantly flushed crimson.
This... this is...
This...
A very strangely designed outfit...
The style... was scandalously revealing, with shockingly little fabric, even featuring intentional "battle-damaged" tears and white fur trim.
What made Liu Yuan burn even hotter was the discovery at the bottom of the box—an equally fluffy, bushy tail!
Is this... a cosplay costume?!
Haven't seen a pig run, but she'd definitely eaten pork!
A note was attached to the tail.
Torn between shame and curiosity...
Liu Yuan pulled out the note.
Written on it was...
"Battle-Damaged Young Fox Girl?!"

Liu Yuan's mind buzzed as if fireworks had exploded inside her skull.
Why would there be something like this as a gift...
Wait!
The real issue was...
She suddenly realized the size seemed... familiar...
Unless Su Qi was planning to risk a prison sentence...
There was at least a 90% chance this was... for her?!
So...
Did Su Qi already know about "that thing"?
Of course... someone as sharp as him couldn't possibly still be oblivious...
The moment this thought surfaced, Liu Yuan felt her cheeks burn hot enough to fry an egg.
Flustered and embarrassed, she hurriedly tried to stuff everything back inside—she couldn't let her brother find out...
But then, hesitation took over, and curiosity won. She opened the second box.
...White bandages?
What... is this?
She stared blankly at the pile of bandages, utterly confused.
Is this... also an outfit?
Sure enough, another note accompanied it.

The back of the note even included an illustrated guide on how to use it...
Just imagining the scenes depicted in the diagrams made Liu Yuan's scalp tingle.
Overwhelming shame nearly drowned her.
What on earth is Su Qi thinking?!
Now she understood why he'd hidden these things so carefully...
These bizarre, embarrassing items...
Absolutely, positively could not let him know she'd seen them!
Panicked, she tried to shove both "outfits" back into the bag.
But then, her movements froze.
Her fingertips brushed against the soft fox ears, the plush texture sending an odd, ticklish sensation through her.
What would these look like... if worn?
Though the outfit was skimpy, it did seem... kind of... cute?
And compared to the "five-star companion"...
The previously unacceptable suddenly felt... tolerable?
No no no!
Liu Yuan! Liu Yuan!
What are you thinking?!
She shook her head violently, as if to fling the dangerous thoughts away.
But...
Just a quick try?
Just the ears?
Su Qi was still in the kitchen... he probably wouldn't notice, right?
Once the idea took root, it coiled around her mind like ivy.
In the end, curiosity overpowered shame.
Liu Yuan shot a glance at the door crack to confirm the coast was clear, then swiftly grabbed the fox ears.
No mirror, but she could use the white plushie for reference.
After undoing her twin ponytails, she fumbled to adjust the headband into place.
A bit clumsily, she secured them atop her head.
The fluffy ears stood upright, twitching slightly.
This feels... so weird.
Unable to resist, Liu Yuan reached up and lightly touched the ears—soft, unexpectedly pleasant to the touch.
The material might be minimal, but the quality wasn't bad?
Then, her gaze drifted to the young fox outfit.
Her heartbeat accelerated.
Maybe... try this too?
Just for a second!
If it's something Su Qi wanted to see...
She'd have to wear it eventually anyway, right?
Might as well get familiar with it now...
Biting her lower lip, her cheeks flushed apple-red, Liu Yuan quickly stripped off her JK uniform.
Hesitating for only a moment, she picked up the fox outfit and, with flushed cheeks, awkwardly pulled it on.
The sizing... fit her perfectly.
The skirt barely...
The front design also...
Made her squirm.
But what mortified her even more was...
Her equipment card had malfunctioned.
Yes, you heard right.
As the [Perfectly Matched Outfit for Any Occasion], it had to prove itself.
Instantly, it too became "battle-damaged"—ripped in multiple places.
Blushing furiously, Liu Yuan picked up the fluffy tail, hesitated, then couldn't bring herself to attach it to her waist.
Even just this much left her feeling utterly exposed.
A strange, indescribable mix of shame and novelty enveloped her.
Just then—
"Yuan, dinner's ready."
Liu Yuan jolted like a startled fox, leaping to her feet!
Crap! Su Qi was coming out already?!
Frantic, she tried to tear off the outfit.
Don't let the minimal materials fool you—it's incredibly intricate.
The more I rush, the more tangled it gets; I can't undo it no matter how hard I try.
Footsteps!
Sounds like they're heading straight for the kitchen!
Damn…
Am I screwed?
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.

Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly.

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
