Engelwey sized up the female elf for a while. Her stunning beauty and enviable figure exuded feminine charm. Her jade-like eyes were full of allure, and her light blue dress perfectly accentuated her figure. Even an old man like him, who had lost interest in women for hundreds of years, was still struck by her beauty.
But this woman, whose beauty was enough to topple kingdoms, scared him to death the moment she opened her mouth.
"Third Young Master?" Engelwey asked the female elf uncertainly, his aged face contorted with a slight expression. The voice he had just heard was indeed Bluer's.
"Surprised? Unexpected? Hahaha." The female elf who had been acting noble and reserved just moments before suddenly burst into wild laughter at Engelwey. Even as she laughed wildly, she still covered her mouth, exuding a captivating feminine charm. However, that somewhat bewitching laughter was clearly not something a beautiful female elf should possess.
"Third Young Master, what are you doing? How could you dress like this! This is outrageous!" Engelwey was so angry that his eyebrows were trembling. The third young master of the dignified Bebili family had actually gone out in public dressed as a woman. If this got back, the old master would be furious.
"Didn't you tell me to dress up nicely, to keep a low profile, and not let that young lady from the Brewster family recognize me?" Bluer smiled, raising his red-nailed hand, and said matter of factly, "The best disguise in the world is, of course, a man dressed as a woman. Miss Sally would never guess I'm the third young master of the Bebili family."
"Perhaps she'll think you're the third young lady of the Bebili family." Engelwey rolled his eyes, feeling like he was about to faint, and shook his head, saying, "You should go back and change your clothes. This isn't low key at all, it's too high profile. You'll attract a lot of attention wherever you go. Besides, your voice doesn't sound right. If you want to get close to Miss Sally, do you think you can just stay silent?"
"You think I'm beautiful too? I almost fell for my own reflection when I looked in the mirror just now. It's true, in this world, besides Princess Irina, the most beautiful person is myself, even if I'm a woman." Bluer ran his fingers along his delicate chin, his expression somewhat wistful, then looked at Engelwey and smiled slightly, "As for my voice, you don't need to worry about that. As a genius, isn't switching between different voices an essential skill? By the way, don't call me Third Young Master later, you can call me Cheryl."
"Che…Cheryl?" Engelwey stared wide-eyed at Bluer, whose voice had suddenly switched to a gentle female voice. The switch was seamless, the voice was gentle yet decisive, crisp and clear, not the cloyingly sweet kind, and it sounded very much in line with his current style.
"Let's go. Didn't you say that restaurant is about to open? If we're late, all that time I spent changing will be wasted." Bluer walked first toward the carriage parked at the door.
"This this this...Third...Cheryl, wait a moment, let's discuss this matter again…" Engelwey felt that his worldview, which he had lived for six or seven hundred years, had been overturned.
"Third Young Master, I have a very serious question for you. Please answer truthfully." Sitting in the moving carriage, Engelwey looked at Bluer opposite him and said in a slightly deep voice.
"Ask away." Bluer nodded.
"Was wearing women's clothes something you planned all along? Do you like dressing up as a woman? Or... do you prefer men?" Engelwey hesitated for a moment before asking seriously.
"That's three questions!" Bluer scoffed.
"Please answer truthfully." Engelwey said unmoved.
"I've made a huge sacrifice to cooperate with your plan. You should be moved at a time like this, not doubting that I like men." Bluer shook his head, looking at Engelwey with confidence and elegance, and said, "Besides, do you think there is anyone in this world who is worthy of me? When I'm a man, no one in the world is as handsome as me, but when I put on women's clothes, all the women in the world pale in comparison. Being too beautiful is sometimes a troublesome thing. In this life, I am destined to grow old alone. There is no woman in this world worthy of being my woman, and there is no man in this world that I can look at."
Engelwey looked at Bluer, who was tilting his chin up at a 45 degrees angle and gazing at the sky with a sorrowful look, and felt a little like measuring just how thick-skinned this extremely narcissistic guy really was with the sole of his shoe.
However, narcissism has its advantages, at least he probably doesn't like men.
Whether Miss Sally can develop a liking for him is a matter of luck, but if Bluer likes men, then the Bebili family will truly lose face.
"By the way, Third Young Master, what's that padding on your chest? Is it the mantou?"
"Mantou? Tch, why would I use something so low-grade? This is a tree I discovered in the Wind Forest. If you make a cut in the tree, a white sap will flow out. After simple extraction, it forms something with excellent elasticity that can maintain its shape."
"So you made this in the Wind Forest and even brought it to Chaos City?"
"It's always good to be prepared. A successful person is always ready to face all kinds of situations."
"Does a successful person need to wear women's clothing?"
"That's why I'm more successful than most people. I can endure what ordinary people cannot, and do what ordinary people cannot."
"But... why do you look a little excited?"
...
The strange conversation continued the whole way. Engelwey had gradually accepted the fact that Bluer was dressed as a woman, so he simply closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind.
Bluer, on the other hand, remained calm, exuding confidence in every gesture, showing no discomfort whatsoever from the change of clothes, as if he was simply going out in his usual attire.
The carriage stopped, and Engelwey opened his eyes, lifted the curtain, and pointed to the Restaurant Mai Mi not far away, saying, "That's the restaurant. Miss Sally works there. You can try to get in touch with her, but I think it's better if you don't today, otherwise you'll have a problem smoothing things over later."
"Don't worry, this is no problem for me." Bluer confidently lifted the curtain and stepped out. He glanced at the long queue in front of the restaurant and frowned. "Why are so many people queuing up to eat? A restaurant like this, located in a corner, has such popularity. It seems that this restaurant is quite special."
After a moment's hesitation, Bluer walked toward the long queue, his slender waist swaying and his slightly curly blond hair bobbing gently, attracting the attention of the customers in line.
"Huh? This girl is quite pretty." Mai Ge had just opened the door and came out when he saw Bluer walking towards the back of the group, and his eyes lit up slightly.
