Chapter 27: A Dress-Up Disaster and a Tail-Tied Trick

“Hmph…”

Jiang Ning curiously poked Luo Su’s tail on her wrist. Since being found out, the little succubus’s disguise seemed useless—at least to the sisters.

(But in strangers’ eyes,)

(Was it a delicate boy or a cute succubus?)

“N-no clothes…”

Luo Su’s face flushed. This bad woman—didn’t she know you don’t touch a tiger’s head! Fuming, she shrank back.

“…”

Jiang Ning mentally cursed the “unmet” Luo Su eight hundred times. Such a cute succubus, and not even proper clothes provided?

No wonder their first

Real-world meeting… she wore her clothes!

“No worries…”

Jiang Ning happily ruffled Luo Su’s hair, eyes sparkling. “Big Sis will buy you new clothes!” For some reason… it felt like raising a pet!

“???”

Luo Su blinked innocently. This bad woman… actually treating her like a kid? They were the same age!

“Let’s go~”

Jiang Cha grabbed Luo Su’s collar and dashed off.

“W-wah!” Luo Su panicked—in her male form! Being dragged by a girl was too humiliating!

“…”

In a women’s clothing store, Luo Su sat in a corner, facing the wall, questioning life. Sure… she’d thought about buying girl clothes, but being dragged here by two girls on her first try?

Wasn’t this… too fast!

Notably… passing the restroom earlier, the bad women tugged her tail, forcing her to revert.

So now,

She wore just a white shirt… its hem swaying, a bit chilly… scaring her tail into stillness!

“How’s this?”

Jiang Ning held up a pink frilly dress, butterfly bows and lace sparkling. Luo Su’s head shook like a rattle—she was a tough guy; even in girl clothes, no way she’d wear that.

“Really don’t want it…” Jiang Ning’s shoulders drooped.

“Hmph!” Luo Su turned away, pointing at black cargo pants. “Those… are cooler…”

“Pfft—”

Jiang Cha rubbed her head. “Little Su Xi, with your soft-cute vibe, give up on looking cool.”

Luo Su: “…”

Puffed-up bun face! No matter what they picked, she’d never—absolutely never—wear it!

Even if they begged!

Jiang Ning and Jiang Cha exchanged a glance, their years-long bond letting them read each other instantly. They turned, saying, “Let’s… eat first!”

“Huh? W-wait!”

Luo Su panicked, grabbing Jiang Ning’s hem—she was… exposed! Couldn’t go out like this.

“What for lunch~” Jiang Ning tilted her head.

“In this weather…”

Jiang Cha feigned thought. “Hotpot, right?” They played off each other, ignoring the frantic succubus behind them.

“Ugh… I’ll wear anything!”

Luo Su surrendered, clinging to their hems—if she went further, the mall crowd would see everything!

“Hmph…”

“Should’ve done that sooner~”

Jiang Ning smugly carried Luo Su inside. By checkout, the shopping bag brimmed with dresses—lace-trimmed, bow-adorned, frilly…

Luo Su couldn’t even name them all.

Staring at the colorful haul, she heard her “tough guy pride” fading… and a tiny bit of glee?

Right now,

She wore a pink dress, two white ribbons tied in a big butterfly bow at her back, fluttering with her movements.

“Oh my gosh!”

“So cute!”

…

Stepping from the cashier, Luo Su became the center of attention. Burning gazes locked on her, making her shrink behind Jiang Ning.

“How’s that~”

Jiang Ning teased her red face. A docile loli… the best!!

“Ugh…”

Luo Su clung to Jiang Ning’s back, face pitifully rubbing her shoulder. “The skirt… no room for my tail…”

If it popped out in public, she was done!

Imagining that scene made her tremble.

“…”

Jiang Cha swiftly leaned in, subtly blocking onlookers. She checked—the skirt’s waist was tied with two white ribbons…

So the tail couldn’t wrap around…

But, as a seasoned schemer, Jiang Cha had a naughty idea! She had Jiang Ning shield Luo Su’s left side, then pulled out one ribbon…

And tucked Luo Su’s tail in!

One black, one white “ribbon” crossed, eye-catching… and pretty… and the most dangerous spot was the safest, right?

Who’d guess this “decoration” was real?

“Umm…”

Luo Su hummed softly, the ribbon’s ticklish grip on her tail making her wiggle. The bound yet light feeling… weird but oddly nice?

Her tail, honest as ever,

Curled upward, lifting the ribbon.

“Don’t move~”

Jiang Ning feigned sternness, pressing the wiggling tail. Its cool touch tempted her to sneak another pinch… and another.

“Okay…”

Clueless Luo Su thought she was helping secure it, freezing obediently, face red as an apple.

Unbeknownst to her, someone’s fingers

Were gleefully rua-ing her tail.

“D-done yet…”

Luo Su drooped, toes fidgeting on the floor.

“Almost~”

Jiang Ning stopped, knowing if the little dummy caught her rua-ing, she’d lose this awesome feeling! One last quick pinch, then she let go.

“Gulp…”

Luo Su twisted to look—her black tail, wrapped in white ribbon, swayed behind the skirt, striking like a designed accent.

“This… really okay?”

She clutched the hem nervously. “Won’t it be noticed?”

Unseen, a passing girl stared enviously at the “moving bow,” eyes sparkling. “So cool!”

“It’s fine!”

Jiang Cha vowed. “It’s early—let’s catch a movie. How’s that?”

“Yes, awesome!”

Luo Su’s tail nearly wagged, but Jiang Ning pressed it. “No moving.”

Luo Su: “Fine…”

But honestly, sometimes her tail moved on its own—she was helpless!

“Hmm… am I feline?”

A wild thought hit. She tilted her head—kinda like her lazy cat Hulu! But Hulu’s fluffy tail was way lazier than hers…

“Hehe… then I’m a big tiger!”
