Chapter 56: 56: Clothes, Maketh The Man (2)

Just like what Yunxian has mentioned before, Zhou Rui was a quite peculiar lady with an extraordinary mindset and antics. She would not stop for anything to pursue the title of Divine Grade Seamstress.

However, as soon as her gaze landed on his perfect posture and otherworldly appearance that would make the Gods even turn their faces away, Zhou Rui could feel the immediate inkling that he would be the one to wear her greatest creation ever to date.

"O, young lord of the faraway plain. Be my cultivation partner, and I shall bring thee to the height that you’d never thought possible!"

"Pardon?!"

Yunxian was in trepidation as she heard Zhou Rui proposing to him nonchalantly. "Rui’er! Don’t be rude to Young Master Hûo! He could mistook it for another meaning!"

"Huh?! I really mean it! I want him to be my model so I could produce more garments and he would wear them for me!"

"Hmm?" Ash tilted his head to the side. "Could you please elaborate more? I’d help you in any way I could."

And thus, Zhou Rui explained about her unique Dao that could only be bequeathed in the Zhou Family and told him a little but of her background.

As of now, Zhou Rui was only a Gold Grade Seamstress and she has stuck in this grade for a decade. Because of that, her Cultivation Stage hadn’t made any advancement since she was cultivating the Dao of Threads which requires her to spin and weave the threads into clothes in order to gain Qi Energy and elevate her Cultivation.

As a Seamstress, it’s very important for her to find a model or a partner that would match the aura of the outfit that she produced. Without any model who could match her creativity and talent, she would never see a glimpse of the next phase of her future. Alas, there’s no man or woman that could match the bizarrity of her mind.

"So... In other words, Dao of Threads would allow you to draw, collect, and refine Qi Energy to elevate your Cultivation Stage?!"

"Precisely that, young lord."

Ash pondered a little, rubbing his chin. "Is it okay to disclose the law of your Dao to a stranger?"

"Yes. It’s not going to be okay. My family would be furious when they found out that I’m sharing the secret of our craft to a stranger that is not meant to be my partner. However, I could care less about family tradition. I choose and pick my partner to my liking. And you, Young Master, just happened to be one."

Ash looked at the Seamstress right into her eyes. She might be quite an eccentric and annoyingly cute, but he didn’t feel any arrogance or greed from her, just a sheer determination to elevate her humble self into a higher degree of greatness. She has no mean of

Because of that, it would be an utter disrespect if he rejected her offer. Thus, he reached out his hand for a handshake and was welcomed by her excitedly.

"Very well. If it meant that I would have a nearly unlimited supply of clothes and outfits, who am I to reject such a generous offer?"

"Yayyy! It’s decided then." Zhou Rui threw both fists to the air. She then ran to the doorway and shouted to the corridor. "Tantan! Bring up that collection, now!"

"Y-yes Madam! Right away!" Replied the clerk from downstairs.

A moment later, Tantan, the young clerk who greeted him and Yunxian at the receptionist, had brought a couple of wooden crates in her hands. Luckily, she was a Low Stage Body Transformation Realm Cultivator, so this much weight meant nothing for her.

Without further ado, Zhou Rui displayed the masterpieces that she had created for the past years on wooden stands. On the other hand, Ash examined each design thoroughly down to the finest details and seams while Yunxian waited patiently on a long sofa, sipping a cup of tea.

"What a peaceful day, is it not?" She mumbled to herself.

After spending a few moments to look at the ten hanfu robes which were fashioned specially for men, Ash couldn’t help but to admit that Zhou Rui has very exceptional talent to put these together from scratch. She even made her own threads from the raw materials that she used to make a hanfu robe.

These hanfu robes were not just run-of-the-mill outfits that could be found anywhere in the market. Each of them were Rare Rank Items that had various attributes, specialties, and practicality depending on the occasions.

Ash, however, had his eyes on the plain, a simple yet very domineering crimson robe that was displayed on the left side. As his curiosity peaked, Ash couldn’t hold his urge any longer and reached for the robe’s sleeve.

Soon, the Heavenly Beast Taming System displayed the detailed information.

[Epic Rank Item]

[Flame Wolf Stag’s Fur Hanfu Robe]

[ A regal hanfu robe woven from the enchanted fur of the elusive Flame Wolf Stag. This Mythical Rank Immortal Beast, known for its scorching speed and resilience, has imbued the garment with both elegance and raw power. The robe shimmers with an ethereal ember glow, and faint wisps of flame dance along its edges when the wearer moves. Despite its fiery nature, the fur remains cool to the touch, providing unparalleled comfort and protection.]

[Attributes:]

+50 Fire Resistance – Reduces fire-based damage and nullifies minor burns.

+30 Agility – Enhances the wearer’s speed and reflexes, making movements swifter and more precise.

+40 Defense – The resilient fur grants excellent protection against physical and magical attacks.

Ember Step (Active Toggle) – Leaves a trail of harmless embers in the wearer’s wake, increasing intimidation and aesthetic appeal as per the wearer’s desires.

"As expected from a Jade Grade Appraiser. Your eyes are truly exceptional." Zhou Rui strode closer. "Without exaggeration. This is my finest piece that I have ever produced, yet. And it took me five years of literal blood, sweat, and tears just to make this one. That Flame Wolf Stage was my best friend and my close companion. He died due to the terminal illness that he had since he was born. Henceforth, I took the obligation to harvest the materials from his body."

Ash was genuinely amazed with her skills. As a Gold Grade Seamstress, to ever produce an Epic Rank Hanfu was truly an astonishing feat! As to complete the set, Zhou Rui even went as far as making a pair boots from its hide which has a similar color with the robe.

"Are you sure to endorse such a precious piece to me?"

"Hanfu Robes are meant to be worn by its fated owner. I would rather see my pieces were torn or burned in the battlefield rather than stored inside a box for eternity."

"I understand your sentiments. I will take this one then!"

"Very well!"
