Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

evening.

The bathtub in the bathroom was filled with water.

Anlan lay comfortably in the bathtub, enjoying the warm water.

In his arms, Yang Zhenzhen, wearing the red dress that should have been Liu Xuan's, sat cross-legged. The two leaned peacefully against each other, Yang Zhenzhen stroking An Lan's face: "An Lan... I've been thinking, actually... there's something I haven't experienced yet..."

"Um?"

"What...?"

"Don't be surprised—"

"Buzz!"

Just as An Lan was surprised, Yun Han, dressed in a red robe, appeared abruptly in the bathroom with a flushed face.

"Brother Lan..."

"I...I'm curious too, three people..."

"You! Aren't you two at odds?"

"No, in some ways, Han and I actually get along quite well..."

"..."

......

The next day.

An Lan woke up exhausted from his bed; he had slept almost the entire day.

no way!

I'm so, so tired!

When he woke up, the simulated natural light outside was already dark.

An Lan blinked and chose to activate "[Perfect Timeline]"!

"Buzz—"

Instantly!

He returned to that morning, walked out of the villa with a refreshed expression, and went to the [-7] floor to start reading the [copy file] from the past once again.

Yes!

The skill "Perfect Timeline" is just so useful!

By splitting one day into two, Anlan's vacation time was twice as long as others!

He frantically read through his past [dungeon] experiences, trying to learn and expand his understanding of some bizarre phenomena.

In the days that followed.

[Zhouchi City Defense Division - 9th Floor].

Liu Xuan was staring in astonishment at the bizarre scene before her.

It was on the -5th floor of the shopping street. An Lan walked alone into a women's clothing store. The sales clerk looked at him with surprise: "Hello... sir, are you planning to buy clothes for your girlfriend?"

An Lan nodded noncommittally.

Then, with the help of the shop assistant, he looked at the new women's clothing and even innerwear in the store one by one.

Interestingly, when the sales assistant was explaining a certain piece of clothing, An Lan's back visibly swayed, as if someone had grabbed her stomach! The surveillance footage clearly showed An Lan grimacing as she selected the clothing and went into the fitting room!

"Wardfa?!"

"He... he took the clothes, fine, but why did he go into the fitting room by himself?!"

In the monitoring room on the -9th floor, besides Liu Xuan observing An Lan, there stood a girl with long, side-swept hair on her right side. The girl looked surprised and murmured, "This guy is just different from the one the female ghost plays with—"

The girl looked at Liu Xuan teasingly, but Liu Xuan's expression was strange and unpredictable.

Ever since An Lan politely rejected her last time, she has been completely baffled!

No? Why not?

I am the esteemed [Treasure of Zhouchi City], possessing both ability and good looks. After the dungeon ends, if something happens between us, you're still not happy?

Liu Xuan even doubted whether she was not charming enough.

But after observing herself in the mirror at home for a few days, Liu Xuan realized that it definitely wasn't her problem; it must be An Lan's.

For the next few days, she became obsessed with observing An Lan's personal behavior.

It wasn't that she liked spying on An Lan, but she was genuinely curious about what An Lan wanted that red dress for after she was driven away that day.

Are you saving this for the female ghost in the next [dungeon]?

Or perhaps...it's just me...

Alas--

This idea was originally just a guess.

But now, seeing An Lan carrying women's clothing into the bathroom, her face couldn't help but twitch.

A minute passed...

Five minutes have passed...

Ten minutes have passed...

Under surveillance, An Lan did not leave the fitting room for a long time.

until...

The shop assistant, fearing something might go wrong, urged, "Sir...sir...you...you're not trying it on yourself, are you? I...I don't mean to discriminate against you..."

"But you can take the clothes you tried on with you...it's fine..."

The saleswoman hesitated before saying those words, but there was something else she didn't dare to: "If a man like you wears this, how can other female customers dare to wear it?"

Good thing!

"Right away...right away..."

Five minutes later, An Lan emerged from the fitting room looking completely exhausted.

He walked unsteadily and looked nervous as he finished packing his clothes. He then hurriedly left the women's clothing store and began browsing other stores...

"Holy crap! Is this guy really up to something?"

"What on earth was he doing in the fitting room with women's clothes?!"

The woman with the long, side-swept hair couldn't hold back any longer. She looked at Liu Xuan with a face full of doubt, her expression one of utter disdain as if to say, "How could you possibly fall for someone like that?"

Liu Xuan's lips twitched, and for a moment she didn't know how to explain.

She could only continue monitoring like this...

But An Lan's behavior then became even more outrageous.

He... stopped in the stockings section this time.

"Brother Lan... what is this?"

"Stockings! They were originally used in 15th-century Italy to display noble status. But now... they've evolved into some kind of erotic item..."

"Anlan, see those white stockings? Get me two pairs!"

"Then...then...Brother Lan, I want...I want the black one...the gradient one..."

Reaching the two pairs of stockings, An Lan bent over again, her face numb as she took the two stockings: "You... want to try them on?"

"Um!!!"

As the voices rang out simultaneously, An Lan, under the horrified gaze of the sales clerks, once again stepped into the fitting room.

"Buzzing—"

Upon entering the fitting room, after two figures appeared, Yang Zhenzhen unabashedly sat on the soft chair, placing her legs in front of An Lan's stomach: "An Lan! Help me change..."

"Brother Lan! I want one too!"

Two pairs of jade-like feet swayed back and forth in front of her.

Normally, An Lan should be very excited. Unfortunately, not only was she completely drained last night, but just now, at the women's clothing area, An Lan had to change their clothes several times, essentially becoming a human slave...

"well..."

He numbly changed the stockings for the two women.

Outside the fitting room, the shop assistant hurriedly took several steps back, looking into the fitting room with a look of astonishment.

She could see the packaging of the stockings sliding out through the crack in the door. Her face filled with terror, she repeated the words of the previous clerk: "Sir, you can take the stockings you've worn...it's alright!"

"We treat everyone equally; men can wear stockings too!"

"..."

Regarding this!

An Lan was numb.

This is what it's like to accompany a female ghost shopping.

"hiss--"

Meanwhile, in the monitoring room, the girl with the long, side-swept hair finally couldn't hold back any longer: "No! No! This guy is too outrageous! I can't stand it anymore! I'd rather fight monsters in the [Instance] than be teammates with him!"

"Sister Xuan, your gaze is certainly quite curious..."

"Um... is it possible... I mean, is there any possibility that he bought these clothes to give to me? He wanted to surprise me, so he tried them on to get the right size first?"

Liu Xuan glanced at the girl with the long, slanted hair, seemingly speculating.

It wasn't that she was just fantasizing; she could only come up with this one possibility after thinking it over. Aside from An Lan's "cross-dressing fetish," who would he buy clothes for?

Give it to a ghost?

There's no need to rush to buy it, is there? You could have waited until a few days before the [Dungeon] arrives to purchase it.

so...

Is it possible that he wants to buy himself clothes as an apology?

"hehe..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Sister Xuan, you can continue watching by yourself!"

The woman with the long, side-swept hair shook her head helplessly and left.

Liu Xuan continued to stare at the monitor.

Only after watching An Lan return to the villa carrying large bags of women's clothing did she excitedly take out her phone, hoping to see An Lan's call immediately...

Can!

An hour has passed...

Two hours have passed...

it's dark!

There was no phone call at all!

"so..."

"He bought so many women's clothes, are they really for himself?!"

"..."

Just after Liu Xuan's utterly astonished "realization"...

The next day.

An Lan went to the [-7] floor again to search through the files, but his back was constantly slouching.

In the monitoring room, Liu Xuan and the woman with the long, side-swept hair stared at his every move, their faces showing surprise: "Hey—he didn't go shopping today! He actually spent the whole day looking at files?"

"This guy's got some skills, huh?"

"Um...why...I have this feeling like he's been here a lot of times before?"

"Really? Isn't this the first time he's thought of looking at the [files]?"

Liu Xuan didn't know why, but she always felt that An Lan had been looking at the "files" these days. However, when she looked through the previous surveillance footage, it turned out to be all records of An Lan "going shopping".

Another day ended with Anlan idly browsing through the "files".

Just as the two women were beginning to change their opinion of An Lan...

Anlan, who had just returned home, suddenly shouted into the air, "Okay! Okay! So what if I ignored you guys today? I'll go shopping with you guys later... okay?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, An Lan sighed helplessly as a time display began to flash behind her.

He chose to go inside when the sun was shining brightly, and thus returned to that morning.

Then he heard a familiar voice beside him: "Anlan! Let's go see a movie together today! And we'll buy bags and perfume together!"

"Brother Lan! Brother Lan! I want one too!"

"Okay, okay, okay—"

With a helpless expression, An Lan walked towards the "shopping street" again.

Meanwhile!

Inside the monitoring room, Liu Xuan and the girl with the long, side-swept hair looked at the monitor with strange expressions: "Look—see! Except for the first day, when he went to the archives, this guy has been shopping for five consecutive days..."

"I knew there was something wrong with him!"

"this..."
