Chapter 67 - Tsundere?

Chapter 67: 67 - Tsundere?

In Iris’s wardrobe, the clothes were actually divided into two halves. One half was women’s clothes, while the other half was men’s clothes.

The men’s clothes were also the comfortable kind. The quality of the fabric was the best available right now. The colors weren’t anything special, only white and black or a mix of both. Compared to the brightly colored women’s clothes, the contrast was huge.

Not only that, underneath the pile of men’s clothes was a fairly large metal box. There seemed to be something really good inside.

[Master! That metal box contains battle armor integrated with the most advanced technology. Not only that, its color is very suitable for your Heavenly Dao Swordsman state. This is clearly custom-made for you.]

While King was curious, the system started screaming loudly. After finding out what was inside, King was just as shocked as it was.

[Master, it seems Iris really cares about you. It’s just that her mouth is a little stubborn... No, I should say she’s very stubborn.]

The more the system talked, the more awkward King’s face became. He stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do for a moment.

It seemed Iris wasn’t that annoying after all. Even though her temper really pissed me off, but... Maybe this was what people called ’tsundere’?

A very absurd feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. But he didn’t hate this absurd feeling at all.

While King was standing there in a daze, Iris was also looking at him, but not directly. She was lying on the bed, her face turned away.

Her eyes would occasionally glance over for a few seconds before quickly turning back, looking sneaky like a thief.

"Did you... buy these for me?"

It took King a lot of effort to finally ask this question, but unexpectedly, Iris immediately screamed.

"Nonsense!"

"What I like to buy is my business. I like buying men’s clothes because they look good. Don’t get carried away with yourself. Hmph!"

Even though Iris had turned her face away, King could see that her cheeks were getting redder and redder. Her over-the-top reaction was completely opposite to what she said.

Is she embarrassed? Still sulking over some nonsense reason? Why does she suddenly seem kind of cute... No, this isn’t right. The word cute can’t possibly be used to describe the strongest cultivator.

After thinking nonsense for a moment, King gently shook his head. There might be a cute side to Iris’s personality, but it was definitely much smaller than her arrogance and craziness.

"Hmm, my bad. You can buy whatever you want. No one can stop you."

If she didn’t want to admit it, King wouldn’t force her. He was feeling pretty happy right now, so he didn’t want to start a fight with her.

Maybe after those two awful days, it was easier for him to feel happy now?

He wasn’t sure himself, but from now on, it would be hard for him to treat her the way he used to... At least in his heart, because he was too stubborn to admit it.

Having been naked for so long, now that he had clothes, King put them on without hesitation. With his current speed, he was done in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he put them on, King tried moving around a little. He had never experienced fabric this amazing before. As expected, clothes made for cultivators were different, extremely durable and comfortable.

"Hey, what about this armor? Did you buy it for yourself too? Why do I feel like it suits me so well?"

King smirked, looking triumphant. He suddenly felt like he had won even though he hadn’t been competing with anyone this whole time.

Anyone who wasn’t stupid would know this armor was prepared by Iris for King, but he still needed her to admit it herself before he could use it comfortably.

If he used it without permission, it would make King look like he had stolen something or, to put it nicely, used something without asking for permission.

As someone extremely arrogant, King refused to do something so lowly that would damage his reputation.

"You haven’t even opened the box, so how do you know there’s armor inside? No, you have a system..."

"Wait, are you trying to trick me into talking nonsense? That’s mine! I don’t lack women’s armor, so what’s wrong with keeping a set of male armor for my collection?"

Iris’s awkwardness at this moment was much greater than when she saw Valentina and King ’wrestling’ in her living room.

The more Iris stumbled over her words, the stranger King felt. No longer feeling that annoyed with Iris, he acted just like what Elias had once said. His experience was getting better and better.

"You’re right. You can collect whatever you want."

After saying this, King felt a little disappointed. If even the system rated it so highly, this armor had to be really cool.

Iris was stubborn, but King wasn’t any better. Both of them were too stubborn, so even when they felt uncomfortable, they stayed silent instead of saying it out loud.

"Hmph, I already thought it was ugly, and now you’re saying it suits you really well. Since that’s the case, I don’t need that piece of trash anymore. If you want it, I’ll give it to you."

While saying this, Iris still didn’t look at King. Saying something like this was really embarrassing. If she looked into King’s eyes, she wasn’t sure she could say it.

[Awesome! Now master has proper battle armor. Too bad I can’t do anything to help you with this. Other than the Heavenly Dao Sword, I don’t have any other equipment.]

King’s mood changed like a roller coaster at this moment. Just a moment ago, it had dropped a little because he couldn’t use the awesome armor, but now it shot straight up into the clouds.

"Hmph, it’s not that it’s ugly. You just have no sense of aesthetics. If you don’t like it, keeping it would be an insult to it. It would be better to let a great reader like me become its master instead."

Even though he was very happy, King still spoke in a really unpleasant way. There was no way someone as arrogant as he was would accept ’trash’ as charity from her.

The two of them stubbornly talking to each other made the atmosphere really bizarre. There clearly wasn’t a single nice word between them, but both of their expressions looked extremely good.
