There were all kinds of clothes, from formal to casual and even so sexy and erotic hidden in the back. Everything was made with the best material and looked comfortable to wear.
Many employees, dressed in red and green uniforms, greeted them and led them around the shop.
"How about this one, My Love? It's pretty and looks like it fits you." Leo asked Jessica, pointing to a blue and black dress. "It gives off a fresh feeling and would look lovely on you."
"Hehe, it's true, my dear husband. I love this one."
Jessica was pleased and picked up the dress.
"Yes, yes, you have a good eye, Young Lord. That one is our most special one. It's made from the finest silk and is very comfortable. It's perfect for the weather right now. Please, try it on."
"Okay. I guess we can do that."
With a smile on her face, Jessica went to the changing room with two employees to help her change her outfit because she wouldn't be able to do it alone. Or rather, normal girls wouldn't be able to take off the dress she currently wore without help. It was too complicated.
By now, her bodysuit was already hidden with optical illusion to make it look and feel like her own skin.
anwhile, Leo stood around and looked at the clothing, pretending to be interested.
"Sir, please try this one. It would look good on you."
"Hahaha, well... maybe a little bit." He laughed pleasantly. "You have a vast collection of clothes, Lord Wu Jian. I am interested in so of them, but not sure which one to choose."
"Please, call Wu Jian. And, yes, we have the largest collection in the entire Capital. You don't need to worry about not having anything. We provide clothes to Nobles and even martial artists. Anything you want, we have them here."
"Really? To be honest, I am interested in so kinds of clothes that have beco a bit of talk in Chengdu right now." Leo looked at Wu Jian, "Do you perhaps have it in this store?"
"Clothes from Chengdu... Hmm... What could it be?" Wu Jian humd. Then, his eyes widened slightly as he realized sothing. "Oh! Could it be the Butterfly Pavilion's lingerie?
We have the complete collection right now, my Lord. Do you want to bring them for you?"
"Not that, Sir Wu Jian." Leo shook his head. "It's sothing that is more useful and practical for fighting. Not just an ornant for sex."
"Oh? Hmm... I wonder what that is?"
The fat man was confused and looked at Leo curiously. As the biggest rchant dealing in textile, he was confident that he knew all kinds of clothes.
"It's a strange piece of clothing called a suit." Leo said, crossing his hands behind his back as he walked around slowly. "It's said to be worn by people in a rcenary band called Hallowed Insect. These clothes are said to have the ability to increase a person's strength and agility, making it look like they are moving in a blur."
"Hallowed Insect?" Wu Jian raised his brow, "That ragtag group who offended the Murim Alliance by creating a dangerous group called rcenary Union?"
"Yes."
Being called a ragtag group hurt Leo's pride a little. To think that was how low his and his group's reputation in Capital... He had expected it, but not this bad.
'Murim Alliance has its biggest influence in this place. It's only natural that they would spread rumors about us.'
"Hmm, so you're saying that their clothes are actually artifacts that make them stronger?"
"Why do you think a group of normal people could fight against martial artists if that's not the case?" Leo shrugged his shoulders.
"I heard their leader was a powerful cultivator and that their artifact is not sothing that can be bought easily. But, I'm a businessman, not a fighter. I am interested in this kind of thing. I am interested in their strange clothes. Do you have any ideas or ever heard of strange clothes being sold around here?"
Tonight, Leo had two goals.
Firstly, he wanted to gain a connection to soone related to Four Wind rchant. That was easily accomplished with Wu Jian.
Secondly, he wanted to gather information about strange clothes, similar to the suit he usually wore everywhere.
From the information he received from Nabi, Xue Rou first appeared wearing strange clothes. Her first appearance was in the Capital City, that ant here.
With the weapon called novel and cliche knowledge, Leo thought that she might have transmigrated or reincarnated here, just like him.
But, that didn't matter.
What mattered was that she had unique clothes with her when she first appeared. And she wasn't in a good condition as if she wasn't in her best condition. Even her clothes seed to miss sothing, like outerwear.
With that information, he knew that clothes were the key to finding her. She must've
It was just his luck that he found Wu Jian, the self-proclaid biggest textile rchant in Central Plains. If it was him, he might have a clue.
"Strange clothes..." Wu Jian humd and looked at Leo. "You an sothing like the suits you ntioned? Hmm, maybe there are so strange clothes in the back. You said that it's not just an ornant, right? Then, we have a collection of weird things here. Sothing weird custors sold to us because I am interested in them."
"Really?"
"Yes, follow ."
Wu Jian smiled and led Leo toward a corner of the store. There were several boxes and items scattered on the ground.
"Hmm, strange clothes, strange clothes..." The fat man began digging into the boxes and started taking out the clothes. "These ones, this one, and this one. Hmm, they're not as interesting as you ntioned, but you can take a look."
He laid them on a table and stepped back.
Leo approached and looked at the clothes.
They were strange, to say the least.
One of them looked like a full-body armor, but it was covered with a thin layer of sothing. The other looked like it was made from fur, resembling clothes worn by the barbarians outside the plain.
And amidst them all, Leo found sothing truly curious.
'Oh?'
A beige-colored clothes stood out among the rest. Not because it was good or anything. But because it was too simple.
Simple enough that soone could just wear or take it off in under 5 seconds. Sothing that was designed to be used and taken off fairly often without soone else's help.
Nothing like the rest of the clothes. So-to-speak, a convenient cloth.
When talking about convenience, one would be reminded of sothing.
'Modernity.'
What lay among strange clothes shown by Wu Jian was a cardigan, often worn by people from the modern world.
Leo couldn't believe his eyes.
This was exactly what he had been looking for.
'Jackpot.'
