Experimentation

The sender's address read: [Cangyue Dolls Adult Store]...

And in the recipient's name field, three large characters were unmistakably written: 'Qiuying.'

[Full Set Cat-Girl Temptation Night Black Lace & Edge Tight LM Model x1, Includes Black Temptation Stockings...]

"AAAAHHHH! Qiuying!!!" Miaoyi roared like an irritated dragon, feeling her heart grow unexpectedly heavy...

This was beyond belief...

Dun dun dun dun dun —

Clutching the package tightly, Miaoyi let the front door swing with a resounding "thud," and dashed up the stairs, her footfalls echoing with urgency. Then, without even knocking, she barged into Qiuying's room, her aura brimming with a unique mix of fury and fluster.

"Qiuying!" The abrupt clamour set the little white fox perched on the windowsill into a jittery fit. It leaped in startled response, fur on end, and skittered over to Qiuying, seeking solace.

"Huh?" Qiuying was just about to cradle her guitar for a practice session when Miaoyi's entrance disrupted her focus. She arched a curious brow, bemused, and asked, "What's wrong? You're giving off 'stormy weather' vibes, scaring Da Mian half to death."

"Hmph! You'll see in a moment!" Miaoyi huffed, her dissatisfaction apparent, as she swiftly unveiled the mysterious package: "What's the deal here?"

"Uh?" Caught off guard by Miaoyi's inquiry, Qiuying sported a mix of confusion and then blinked her wide eyes with measured calmness. "Well... it's a cat girl outfit."

Miaoyi was on the brink of aligning herself with Da Mian's state of frazzled fur. "Yeah, I know that much. What I'm wondering is, why did you get this... ensemble?"

"Ah, you know, just being thoughtful. This one had top-notch reviews. Apparently, it even gives a little optical illusion of extra 'oomph.' It's like instant confidence boost," Qiuying responded with casual matter-of-factness.

[Fatality!!!]

"..."

Why did she feel that after Qiuying's explanation, she was even more exasperated?

At that moment, she couldn't help but squeeze her chest.

Ha! Maybe she underestimated her size a tad, but was it really such a big deal?

Hold on, it wasn't about size.

For crying out loud, what was she even dwelling on?! Why was she getting tangled up in these thoughts??

"No, no, it's not about any of that. The problem is, when did you even buy this?" Miaoyi's tone dipped into a sense of hopelessness as if she were staring into the abyss of uncertainty. "Why was I completely in the dark about this, huh!"

She had been mentally concocting a plan, a way to sidestep the issue altogether. But lo and behold, Miss Qiuying, who usually radiated gentleness, cuteness, and benevolence, delivered a crippling blow at the most unexpected moment, causing serious collateral damage...

Qiuying managed a playful grin, her voice a soft murmur, "Didn't you say it yourself? Sometimes, even if it's a tough pill, you've got to swallow it. Can't run away from reality. And, honestly, I'm kinda intrigued to see how Miaoyi rocks this attire."

"You're okay with me strutting around like this in front of everyone? What if those ravenous wolves start having all sorts of indecent fantasies about me?" Miaoyi suddenly adopted a pitiful expression, like a rain-laden pear blossom: "I'll be unable to step into a crowd at an electronic music fest without paranoia. And now you want me to put on this getup and dance for them?"

Of course, Miaoyi had always been resistant to these sorts of things.

As a non-native of this world, but rather a transmigrator with past experiences, Miaoyi naturally had a unique understanding of the peculiar thoughts that occasionally inhabit male minds.

Though, most of the time those fantasies purely existed within their minds.

But Qiuying shot back, "I'm okay with it..."

[Brutality! Flawless Victory!]

Miaoyi felt like a cultivation character and almost spat blood everywhere.

"Okay, don't overthink it. Who cares about those supposed 'ravenous wolves'? It's all in the name of art. Your fans won't blow things out of proportion," Qiuying reassured Miaoyi, who was truly at her wit's end. She then took the package, grabbed a pair of scissors, and began to unwrap it. "Let's give it a try."

"Hehe..." Miaoyi chuckled unaffectedly, showing no change in her expression. It seemed Qiuying was still too young, too naive.

Yet, protesting was about as effective as throwing breadcrumbs at a tidal wave. The situation had snowballed; the cat girl getup was now a done deal.

Miaoyi's current thought was singular: If time travel were possible, she would give her past self a smack on the head.

When the package was fully opened, revealing its contents, Miaoyi's mood grew slightly heavier once again.

Inside the delivery box lay an outfit that was alarmingly scant in fabric, complete with a curvy cat tail. The parcel even contained a pair of tantalizing black stockings and an assortment of accessories, including cat ear hairpins, all forming a comprehensive ensemble.

"Give it a go, come on," Qiuying beamed, her smile as radiant as a garden in full bloom. She gently pressed Miaoyi to sit on the edge of the bed.

Thanks to Qiuying's attention to detail, this cat-themed attire fit Miaoyi's body perfectly. Its proportions were just right, a little loose here and a tad snug there. And... this cat-themed attire actually featured an automatic chest-enhancing function.

Honest businesses like this were quite a rare gem. If she weren't the one wearing it, Miaoyi would've readily given a thumbs-up for such consistent business practices.

However, in this moment, this "honesty" was striking a bit too close to home, causing a little bit of trauma.

The original Miaoyi was quite good in every aspect—perfect appearance, charming cuteness, tight and appealing skin and figure. Perhaps the only downside was the lack of 'oomph' in her midsection.

Originally, those two soft cup sizes could only manage a range between A and B, and that would be considered decent. But after Qiuying half-dragged and half-forced Miaoyi into this cat girl outfit, Miaoyi was astonished to find...

There was actually a B!

Although still quite small, it was a significant improvement from before!

"Next, the stockings!" Ignoring Miaoyi's utterly dispirited expression, Qiuying was satisfied as she scrutinized Miaoyi from top to bottom. Then, she handed over the still-unopened pair of stockings. "Put them on."

"Can... can we negotiate again?" Miaoyi's voice quivered with a delicate sweetness at this moment. It was only missing the special-effect font that read 'fear' floating above her head.

[Quiying used "Fear!" It was super effective! TMY is flustered!]

"No, no negotiating. Come on," Qiuying gently smiled once again. Since Miaoyi wasn't budging, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

Miaoyi now felt like a Barbie doll, or perhaps a plastic figurine, unable to do anything as she was manipulated by others.

After the stockings came the headgear with cat ears, and then the cat tail. Qiuying put them on Miaoyi one by one.

...The cat tail attached with velcro.

Once she was dressed, Miaoyi underwent a complete transformation. Qiuying led her to a mirror, and they looked at her from various angles.

Without makeup, without any filters, beautifying effects, or post-processing present, Miaoyi emanated a strange, almost magical aura. Miaoyi's natural beauty radiated serenity. She believed that any male creature who saw her or came near her would first react with astonishment.

Qiuying burst into laughter, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, "Well, Miaoyi, I've seen you bring down the house with your music, but I never thought you'd have the power to render guys speechless with just a change of clothes."
