Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead

Vol 2. Chapter 31: Changing Clothes

As for Miss Yumo, after taking human form, she actually still had a certain resistance toward dresses.

Then why had she suddenly agreed to wear one?

Well, that would have to start from half a day ago...

--

Half a day earlier, inside the small wooden house in the eastern region of the Great Winter Forest,

After hearing Qiu Mingtong's proposal, Yumo, who was sitting in a chair, thoughtfully raised a hand to her chin and tilted her head.

Enmm...

"If Xiao can really provide me with the identity of a young lady from the Black Rose Family, it does seem like things would become much more convenient. But... is that really possible? Isn't the identity system on Anqieka Continent, especially regarding nobility, very strict? For a huge power like the Black Rose Family, suddenly having some young lady appear out of nowhere... won't people become suspicious? Won't the imperial family of the Sadik Empire question it?"

Miss Yumo slowly voiced the doubts in her heart.

If she could obtain another identity as a noble young lady, it would indeed save her a lot of trouble after secretly entering human society.

However, according to what she knew, all noble identities in the Sadik Empire were recorded by the Royal Grand Elder. A suddenly appearing young lady would never be acknowledged unless some kind of bloodline verification was conducted.

But...

Her blood...

Undergoing a bloodline test?

Not to mention that success was impossible, the moment she bled and the aura of the Shadow of Silence Power leaked out, the place would probably turn into a living hell on the spot...

However,

Qiu Mingtong simply waved her hand dismissively at Yumo's concerns.

"No need to worry, Lady Yumo! The imperial family of the Sadik Empire has long been in our pa— ah, no. The Emperor of the Sadik Empire is very friendly. As long as the Duke speaks with him and has a little commu— sparring session, he will definitely agree."

"Hm? Really?"

"Yes!"

Qiu Mingtong nodded solemnly.

"Besides, continuing to use that slave identity is really inappropriate! Honestly, Lady Yumo, even if you want to get close to the Child of Destiny, you shouldn't use that kind of identity!"

"Uh..."

Seeing how confident and aggressive Little Tong was, Yumo couldn't think of any reason to oppose her.

Thus, somewhat helplessly, Yumo nodded.

"Alright then."

"Yay!"

After receiving the answer, Qiu Mingtong rarely revealed an excited smile. In front of outsiders, she was the expressionless little commander, but in front of Yumo, she was simply an expressive little cutie~

Afterward,

The excited Qiu Mingtong immediately took out an exquisite black dress protected by a magical barrier from her spatial ring and handed it to Yumo with a bright smile.

"Lady Yumo! Since we're about to depart, please hurry and change into this Black Rose Family formal dress!"

"Eh?!"

Looking at the finely crafted dress before her, Yumo was stunned.

"This dress is..."

"The Duke specially had it custom-made for you for three million Star Source Coins~ It will definitely suit you perfectly!"

"T-Three million? For one set of clothes?! And I hadn't even agreed before. How did you already... What if I had refused just now? Wouldn't this..."

"It's fine, Lady Yumo. We were simply preparing in advance. Besides, our Black Rose Family is rich. We're not afraid~"

"Uh ⊙_⊙"

Yumo froze awkwardly.

Forget it.

The thoughts of rich people were probably beyond her understanding.

But...

A dress...

Enmm...

After struggling for a moment, Yumo helplessly shook her head.

"Forget it, Little Tong. Dresses still don't really suit me."

"No way! How could they not?! Lady Yumo is so beautiful! It will definitely suit you! This was custom-made to your measurements!"

"Measurements?"

Upon hearing that, Yumo frowned slightly.

Meanwhile,

Liyu, who was eating dessert on the sofa, suddenly trembled and lowered her head guiltily. During that bath and massage session, the gray-haired little girl had secretly recorded quite a lot of data.

Although Liyu lowered her head, the two little birds fluttering around her continuously chirped and flew through Qiu Mingtong's field of vision.

After receiving Xiaodie and Xiaojing's reminders, Qiu Mingtong immediately showed an awkward expression.

Realizing that she had accidentally let something slip, she hurriedly changed the subject.

"Lady Yumo! It really looks beautiful. Please try it on! We all really want to see it!"

Holding Yumo's slender hand, Qiu Mingtong spoke sincerely.

"Th-"

Faced with such pleading, Miss Yumo unconsciously revealed a trace of hesitation in her voice.

And that tiny bit of hesitation was instantly caught by Qiu Mingtong.

Remembering the Duke's instructions, she suddenly turned toward the three little cuties sitting on the sofa watching the show.

"You all support Lady Yumo trying on this dress too, right?!"

As she spoke, she crazily signaled with her eyes toward Liyu, Limo, and the half-asleep Shuoyue while Yumo wasn't paying attention.

"Hm?"

Oh~

Seeing the signals, Shuoyue and Liyu raised their brows.

The two clever little cuties immediately understood what Qiu Mingtong meant!

Naturally, they were more than willing to help.

The next moment,

The sleepiness in Shuoyue's eyes disappeared completely. She floated off the sofa and happily drifted behind Qiu Mingtong, raising both hands.

"Mommy! I raise both hands in support! You absolutely have to try it!"

At the same time, Liyu stood up.

The pair of wings compressed against her back broke free of their restraints and burst through her clothes. Pouting, she raised both hands and lifted both pairs of wings.

"Mother! I raise both hands and both wings in support!!"

"Meowu??"

Seeing her two sisters suddenly express their opinions, even Limo, dense as she was, realized the importance of the matter.

After receiving another meaningful glance from Qiu Mingtong,

Limo suddenly understood.

She hurriedly spat out the fried "drumstick" Yumo had made.

Under everyone's bewildered gazes, Limo did a somersault and landed on the blanket in front of Yumo in a spread-eagle pose!

Then,

She raised both hands, both feet, and her fluffy white wolf tail~

"Mother! I also want to see Mother wearing a dress! I raise both hands, both feet, and my tail in support!!"

As if she would throw a tantrum if anyone disagreed.

Liyu: ......

Shuoyue: ......

Qiu Mingtong: ......

Yumo: ......

Looking at Limo's ridiculous pose and the blue-and-white striped underwear completely exposed to everyone, the living room fell into an eerie silence.

'If this girl ever leaves the forest, she'll probably just go around giving people fanservice...'

Yumo couldn't help complaining inwardly.

As for Limo herself, she had absolutely no idea.

She simply blinked her large eyes and curiously looked around...

After a moment of speechlessness, Yumo had no intention of scolding Limo's carelessness and instead hesitantly looked at her three adorable daughters.

"You all... really want to see it?"

"Yes~~"

The three Demon King-class Abyss Demons answered in perfect unison, letting out adorable voices.

Cute attack ×3

Hearing her daughters' cute voices and seeing those three pairs of eyes filled with expectation, Yumo pursed her lips.

After another internal struggle, she suppressed that inexplicable resistance inside her mind.

Thus,

Under everyone's expectant gazes,

Miss Yumo nodded slightly and, somewhat shyly, accepted the black dress from Qiu Mingtong.

"Alright then, I'll... try it on."

Hearing that,

Liyu, Limo, and Shuoyue immediately brightened and simultaneously let out joyful cries.

"Yay!!"

"But..."

"What is it, Mommy?"

"How exactly do you wear this?"

Yumo asked somewhat embarrassedly.

Upon hearing that, Shuoyue revealed a mischievous smile.

"It's okay, Mommy! I'll help you put it on!"

Hehehe, I can take the opportunity to cuddle with Mommy~

As she spoke, Shuoyue happily floated over.

However, at that moment, Liyu suddenly reached out and grabbed Shuoyue by the ankle!

Stopped by the external force, Shuoyue immediately fell from the air and smashed a huge hole into the floor with her head...

As for little Liyu?

She acted as though she hadn't seen anything and stepped right over Shuoyue, arriving obediently before Yumo.

"Mother, let me teach you instead. Little Sister Shuoyue has been tired lately. Look, she's sleepy all the time, drip says~"

"Who says I'm tired?! Big Sister Liyu, you're too much!"

Amid a burst of blue-and-golden light,

Under Yumo's helpless gaze, Shuoyue immediately stood up and jumped onto Liyu's back.

"Mommy, I'm not sleepy! Big Sister Liyu is talking nonsense! Don't believe her!"

"Mother, even if Little Sister Shuoyue isn't sleepy, she spends all day sleeping in the great lake. She's never learned how to wear such luxurious dresses. Let me do it."

"Who says I don't know?! Something this simple doesn't require learning! Big Sister, you should rest!"

"No, little sister! You should rest!"

......

......

Watching her two sisters wrestling together, Limo puffed up her cheeks unhappily and waved her hands wildly.

"I-I-I want to as well!"

"Big Sister, shut up!"

"Limo Sister, be quiet!"

Liyu and Shuoyue shouted in unison.

"Meowuuuu~~"

After being yelled at like that, Limo immediately lowered her head pitifully, and her fluffy ears drooped.

Wuuu...

Why can't I do it? Ying ying ying~

--

Meanwhile,

Watching Liyu and the others bicker and seeing Yumo struggling to study how to wear the clothes,

Qiu Mingtong, who had been silently watching the show for quite some time, revealed a satisfied smile.

At the same time, a trace of admiration appeared in her orange-yellow eyes.

'As expected of the Duke.'

Just as the Duke had predicted,

If only she or Lady Liyu had tried persuading Lady Yumo, there was a high chance she would refuse.

But if all three little ladies spoke together, Lady Yumo would definitely not reject them.

After all,

Lady Yumo had always been helpless against children's spoiled antics~

Though...

I want to become closer with Lady Yumo too...

Thinking this, Qiu Mingtong revealed a mischievous smile.

"Lady Yumo, let me help you put it on~"

The next moment,

Under the hostile gazes of Shuoyue and Liyu, Qiu Mingtong happily approached Yumo.

"Oh, right, Lady Yumo."

"How about considering changing your underwear as well?"
