After taking off the torn clothes, Bonanus slowly approached the mirror. She examined her figure carefully, with a hint of curiosity.
Previously, she had been too busy earning karmic debt to pay much attention to her body. Besides, she had always left the cleaning to her elemental powers.
It was convenient, but she hadn't enjoyed a hot bath in a long time. If she got the chance, she might try one here in Mondstadt!
At first glance, her figure seemed small, but in truth, it met the standard expectations for an average young woman. Though she couldn't compare to the internet celebrities from her previous life...
But there was still plenty of time! She would keep growing! Adepti lived long lives. One day, she would make all the well-endowed women look up to her!
Never mind comparing to Shenhe—she was still a young woman's build! At this level, she was already doing great!
Thinking of Director Hu Tao from the neighboring village, Bonanus suddenly felt confident again. There were people in this world who were even more developed than her.
Nodding with satisfaction, she looked at her flawless reflection in the mirror—skin so tender that the slightest pinch might draw water, combined with her perfect face.
Wow! What a stunning beauty! Enough to make anyone gasp!
Her figure exuded charm, the kind that made people drool. Every line was defined, with no excess fat.
Her delicate face gave the impression that this girl was completely harmless, someone you could push around without consequence.
She seemed fragile, as if she might break at the slightest touch.
But if anyone actually tried, they would be in for a rude awakening. The title of one of Morax's five great guardian Yakshas was not earned lightly.
Don't entertain any improper thoughts. And if you do, don't act on them—otherwise, you won't even know how you died.
A few minutes passed in a daze...
During that time, Bonanus had been facing the large mirror, admiring her naked figure from every angle. Only when she felt visually satisfied did she finally look away.
Excellent things never grew tiresome.
It was worth noting that Bonanus felt like she was falling in love with herself. No, no! Don't be narcissistic! She wasn't a lesbian! Her orientation was perfectly fine!
Though that was what she thought, the expression on her face told a different story.
She shook her head vigorously, throwing those dirty thoughts out of her mind. Wiping a bit of drool from the corner of her mouth, she took a deep breath and walked to the bed.
Just as the letter said, there were two black packages at the head of the bed. Inside should be the clothes Venti had mentioned. When had these been prepared?
Curious, she opened the first package. Inside were three sets of clothes, along with some round fans. Though the patterns differed, the style was the same.
Neatly folded inside were also some undergarments and, most importantly, safety shorts! Ah, the bane of all evil—safety shorts!
The other package contained shoes and a few pairs of black stockings... Ahem, let's not dwell on that. First, let's talk about the shoes.
Inside were three pairs of shoes, each a different style—both attractive and understated, not too flashy in a crowd.
There was a pair of light blue cloth shoes. They weren't suitable for rough terrain—easily damaged—but they were light and fine for a leisurely stroll.
Another pair resembled enclosed-toe shoes, dark blue with black accents, high-heeled, with no distinct style. They were quite common in Liyue Harbor.
The girls of Liyue Harbor often wore such shoes when going out. Their attire was usually similar, except for some bodyguards and adventurers.
As for the third pair, they were also high heels, but more like boots—not thigh-high, just reaching the ankle.
As for the clothes...
Bonanus wasn't sure about their style. She didn't know much about ancient clothing, but she could guess they were probably qipaos.
These qipaos were different from the tube-skirt styles she recalled from her previous life. They were the kind that ended just above the knee—a modified version, perhaps.
She seemed to remember that this was the most common style among Liyue's women. You could see it everywhere on the streets.
MiHoYo must be responsible for this! Definitely their fault!
The qipao was light blue, accented with black lines. At the waist was a fish-dragon motif, surrounded by patterns resembling Glaze Lilies.
The design suited her quite well. She felt it would look very good on her.
"Very pretty!" Bonanus nodded. She liked these clothes, but why were they all the same style?
Qipaos were beautiful, flattering to the figure, and carried an air of elegance. But wearing the same style all the time would get boring.
More importantly, there was the issue of combat. If she ran into serious trouble, moving around in these would be a hassle, wouldn't it?
"System! Venti said in his letter that these came from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Why would Wangsheng have clothes like this?" Bonanus asked, confused.
[Answering the host's question. These are the clothes you custom-ordered at the fabric shop during Lantern Rite. They have been stored at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.] the system explained patiently.
Hearing this, Bonanus immediately remembered. Oh, right. That did happen. But why hadn't she received any notification?
Sensing her confusion, the system continued.
[The fabric shop's delivery staff did notify you. However, at the time, you were too busy earning karmic debt to pay much attention.]
[Bosacius was also occupied with his own affairs, so he was unaware. The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor staff kindly handled the storage.]
Hearing this, Bonanus scratched her head sheepishly. The Wangsheng people had helped again. How embarrassing...
She must deal with this when she returns. She couldn't keep leaving her things on someone else's property. The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor must be quite troubled by now!

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor
Hu Tao and her employees stared at a room piled high with goods, lost in thought. When had this place become a warehouse?
"When is Big Brother Bosacius coming back to take care of all this?" Hu Tao said exasperatedly. It was the first time she had worn such an expression.

Back with Bonanus
"Anyway, I need to get dressed first! I have to go out and get some air." With that, she busied herself with putting on the clothes.
After a few minutes of fussing...
Since she was wearing a qipao for the first time, she was a bit clumsy. If not for the system's guidance on how to put it on, she might have worn it backward.
What an idiot.
After putting on the undergarments and successfully donning the qipao with the system's help, she gently slipped on the silk stockings.
"This feels strange," she muttered. She had never worn anything like this in her previous life.
Though the fit was perfect, it was her first time, and everything felt awkward.
After putting on safety shorts to prevent any peeping "gentlemen," the final step was to put on the shoes that resembled the enclosed-toe style.
She tidied her slightly messy hair, then stood before the mirror in the room, striking a few poses.
"As expected of custom tailoring! It looks really good on me!" Bonanus praised herself with a serious nod. The blue color suited her perfectly.
It seemed they had tailored it to her style. What a shame that the other clothes were still at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Liyue Harbor while she was stuck in a Mondstadt inn. She wouldn't get to try them on.
Actually, what she regretted most was the maid outfit. She had personally commissioned a high-quality maid outfit for Xiao. What a pity she couldn't see him wear it.
Sighing softly, Bonanus unconsciously touched the two horns atop her head. If anyone asked, she would say they were just decorative accessories.
Like Ganyu, she didn't like others touching her horns. Perhaps it was her body's natural aversion.
She stretched a bit, patted her slightly stiff cheeks, placed the Hydro Vision glass orb Venti had prepared on her waist, and murmured to herself,
"Time to go out for a walk!"
