Spend! "
After finishing her analysis, she raised her chin slightly with a smug look, clearly very satisfied with her observation skills.
Su Mu couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Your analysis is spot on. You truly are worthy of our Xiaoxiao."
However, this is, after all, an exhibit. If I really wanted to buy it, I would naturally ask the shopkeeper to take my measurements and bring me a brand new one, according to the most suitable size.
The piece needs to be recut. Your assumptions about this sample might not be entirely applicable, right?
Su Zhixiao, hands on her hips, tilted her head even higher and retorted:
"That's not necessarily true! Since you were already interested in this piece just by seeing the sample's style and size, it means its cut already matches your expectations."
The figure and face of the person I was looking for are so close! So, Xiaoxiao, how was your deduction?
"Amazing!" Su Mu exclaimed sincerely, his eyes full of doting affection. "Our Xiaoxiao is indeed astute in discerning the Autumn Emperor. Now guess what your brother intends to do with this..."
To whom was the skirt given?
Su Zhixiao's eyes darted around, and after a quick search among the women she knew who were close to her brother, a name immediately came to mind:
"Is it... Aunt Ning?" In her mind, it seemed that only Prince Ning, Li Zhaoning, possessed both that calm demeanor and tall figure.
"Yes," Su Mu nodded in confirmation, then switched to telepathic communication, her voice ringing out directly in her mind, conveying a sense of solemnity.
"Now that Aunt Ning has openly revealed her identity as a woman in front of us, she no longer needs to be bound by the python robe in the Prince's mansion or in front of us."
I thought that giving her a well-fitting dress would be a way of congratulating her and expressing my good wishes.
"I see..." Su Zhixiao tilted her head and switched to telepathy, asking the question that had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
"Brother, I've never quite understood. Although Aunt Ning is a woman, why must she dress as a man to inherit the title of prince?"
"The current emperor is the empress; shouldn't she rightfully inherit the throne?"
Su Mu sighed softly and explained via telepathy, "This is a long story."
He paused for a moment, then explained the reasons in detail.
"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhao Dynasty, in order to avoid disputes among the royal family, a rule was established that emperors of all dynasties must abide by the system of 'one wife and one son'."
The current lineage of Prince Ning's Mansion traces its lineage back to the twin brother born to Emperor Taizu. They shared a deep bond and worked together to establish the empire.
The first Prince Ning swore an oath that his descendants should also follow this rule to avoid internal strife within the royal family.
"Each empress and princess consort bore only one son for the emperor and Prince Ning, but in this generation, something changed. The empress and Princess Consort of Ning..."
==================================================

They all coincidentally gave birth to daughters.
"When Aunt Ning was born, Prince Ning was leading his army in battle and soon died on the battlefield. Princess Ning also passed away soon after due to excessive grief."
"Of the direct descendants of the Prince Ning's mansion, only Aunt Ning remains."
"Aunt Ning was raised by the maids in the mansion. Although she did not have much to do with her parents who died young, she resolutely took on the responsibilities of Prince Ning."
However, the Nine Yang Spear, the symbol of the Ning Prince's Mansion and of supreme yang strength, is only suitable for men to cultivate. If a woman were to attempt to cultivate it, not only would the results be twice as inefficient, but...
Extremely difficult to master.
"Although Aunt Ning is exceptionally talented and has truly mastered the Nine Yang Spear technique, its power has been greatly diminished. In order not to tarnish the reputation of the Ning Prince's Mansion, she..."
She disguised herself as a boy from a young age, hiding her true gender to this day.
"Aunt Ning... she's really had a tough time..." Su Zhixiao sighed softly after hearing this.
"So, Xiaoxiao thinks," Su Mu withdrew her gaze from the distance, refocused on the black dress in front of her, and asked via telepathy, "Aunt Ning will like this."
"Style?"
"Hmm, probably. This dress is elegant and sophisticated, and it suits Aunt Ning's temperament very well."
She paused, her voice lowering, carrying a hint of reluctance yet an undeniable truth, "I think as long as it's a gift from you, brother, it's fine..."
No matter what style it is, Aunt Ning will probably be very happy.
"Just like how you would gladly accept Aunt Ning's cooking no matter how bad it was."
"Xiaoxiao really is a little detective." Su Mu smiled with satisfaction and ruffled her hair again. "Boss lady, please go with this style."
Bring me a brand new one.
The proprietress responded and left, quickly retrieving a neatly folded black dress from the inner room, untouched by anyone except the seamstress, and respectfully laid it out.
He handed it to Su Mu.
"Thank you." Su Mu accepted the dress; he had great trust in the craftsmanship of this shop. Like most of the shops he had invested in here, this one...
From fabric to finished garment, the clothing is all made by reliable female workers organized by the shop owner, ensuring quality.
After putting away the clothes, looking at the store full of garments, Su Mu remembered something and asked the proprietress:
"By the way, I've recently been thinking about developing a new type of fabric that needs to have excellent elasticity, breathability, and a skin-friendly feel. I wonder if you've seen it?"
Have you ever heard of or are you familiar with similar materials?
What flashed through his mind was the memory of Xiaoxiao using her legs to "relieve" him that day—a memory of something fitting snugly against his body and moving freely.
Special fabrics, if restored, may have unexpected uses.

Chapter 115 Heavenly Silkworm
Upon hearing this, the proprietress's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.
"Breathable, elastic, and skin-friendly," she said, her brow furrowing slightly. "The kind of fabric Mr. Su described... I've been in the silk business for many years, yet..."
It's really unheard of.
Ordinary mulberry silk, tussah silk, and even the precious snow silk would likely be unable to simultaneously meet these three requirements. If Mr. Su is interested in researching...
The solution likely lies in reforming the very foundation of silk production.
Su Mu nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.
Seeing that Su Mu did not show any displeasure, the proprietress felt somewhat relieved. After a moment's hesitation, she lowered her voice and said, "I have heard some..."
The merchant mentioned that, supposedly, in the demon realm, there exists a wondrous creature called the 'Heavenly Silkworm.'
"This silkworm is quite extraordinary; its species consists only of females. The silk it spins is not only fine and smooth, far surpassing ordinary silkworm silk, but also naturally carries a unique quality."
Its exceptional elasticity makes it a top-tier weaving material that is rarely seen in the world.
She changed the subject, her tone becoming somewhat cautious, "However, even so, can that silkworm silk fully meet Mr. Su's expectations?"
As for the degree to which it is both extremely transparent and thin, yet can fit snugly and stretch freely, even I dare not make a definitive statement.
It may also require the use of other rare materials, or improvements through special weaving techniques.
"Heavenly Silkworm," Su Mu repeated softly, a name he had heard before.
According to ancient records, this silkworm is yin in nature and prefers cold, surviving only in the depths of the icy plains in the far north of the demon realm. It feeds on the moss beneath the ice and rejects the yang energy of men.
The Qi (vital energy) cannot be approached by anyone other than a woman, making it extremely difficult to raise artificially and resulting in very low yields.
This silk not only can bear the flow of true energy, but also possesses extraordinary strength and elasticity; even if torn or ripped, it can automatically heal over time.
repair.
In the early years, when relations between humans and demons were relatively peaceful, a very small amount of Heavenly Silkworm Silk occasionally flowed into human territory, and it was invariably seized by the major sects and...
The royal family offered a large sum of money to purchase it for crafting protective armor or extremely precious robes.
However, relations between the two races are currently tense, and there are occasional battles along the border. Forget normal trade, even smuggling is incredibly difficult, let alone dealing with the demon race.
The harsh environment of the far north is so extreme that even the demon race, whose physique is stronger than that of humans, rarely lives there.
Moreover, judging from the proprietress's words, even if it were Tencel silk, it wouldn't quite match his ideal of perfectly outlining a woman's leg lines and possessing a hazy, ethereal beauty.
There is probably still a gap between the sensuality and practicality of "stockings".
However, he was not in a hurry, nor did he intend to have others develop it on his behalf. After all, this matter concerned the refined pleasures of young women, and he did not want to entrust it to others.
Even if it were ever made in the future, it would only be given to women close to him, such as Xiaoxiao, Aunt Ning, and Aunt Hu, to add a touch of romance to their private moments.
This is a private hobby they have no intention of selling; it's more like a refined pastime unique to them.
"I understand, thank you for your guidance, ma'am." Su Mu composed herself, took out the corresponding spirit stones, and paid for the black dress she had previously chosen, as well as the rest of the money.
The senior sisters and uncles of the sect brought several dresses.
"Mr. Su, you're too kind. You're a distinguished guest of our shop, and it's my honor to be able to help you with your problems." The proprietress smiled and accepted the spirit stones respectfully.
The earth responds to the way.
After putting the brand-new clothes into the storage bag, Su Mu and Su Zhixiao said goodbye and left together.
As soon as they stepped out of the store, Su Zhixiao, who could no longer contain her curiosity, immediately rushed forward like a cheerful little bird and took his arm.
She tilted her little face up, blinking curiously: "Brother! Brother! Were you asking the landlady about those things just now because you wanted to research a new type of clothing?"
"What does it look like? Can Xiaoxiao wear it?"
Looking at her bright eyes, Su Mu smiled and described it to her telepathically: "Hmm, it's a kind of stocking, similar to a pair of stockings."
It was a garment, but much longer than stockings.
The fabric is extremely sheer and lightweight, like a second skin, wrapping from the toes all the way to the upper thighs, perfectly conforming to the lines of the legs.
To make a woman look more attractive.
"Huh?" Su Zhixiao was slightly taken aback at first, then a blush crept onto her cheeks beneath her veil. She leaned closer to Su Mu, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of...
With a sly, playful grin, he chuckled:
"I see... Brother, were you thinking of having Xiaoxiao wear those socks, and then using... using Xiaoxiao's legs to help brother..."
One?
Her words were ambiguous, but the meaning was clear, reminding Su Mu of yesterday when Xiaoxiao had gone to great lengths with her "legs" to "let him release."
The image depicts "yang energy".
Hmm? With so many benefits to his own "yang energy," could it be used to improve the effects of the silkworm silk? Su Mu pondered this somewhat far-fetched question.
Write down the conjecture of the spectrum. If one day I get some silkworm silk, I can experiment a little and maybe it will work?
Su Mu couldn't help but chuckle at his own thought and Xiao Xiao's quick wit. He reached out and gently pinched her rosy cheek, replying telepathically:
"Our Xiaoxiao is so weak in bed, but she's always full of clever ideas and little schemes."
However, it wasn't entirely for that reason. Xiaoxiao's legs were well-proportioned and long, with well-defined muscles and bones; if she dressed casually, they would certainly be extremely...
It's pleasing to the eye.
His words were genuine praise; he was already imagining how Xiaoxiao, with her pure and lively temperament and those incredibly beautiful long legs, would look stunning when paired with...
==================================================
Page 249:
A pair of pristine white stockings, the sheer fabric revealing glimpses of her fair skin, the white silk outlining her perfect curves—the scene must have been exceptionally captivating.
"Hehe~" Su Zhixiao was overjoyed by his praise and forgot Su Mu's teasing about her being "weak". She hugged his arm and shook it gently.
"Then Xiaoxiao will wait for her brother to figure it out! When that happens, Xiaoxiao will definitely be the first to wear it for her brother! She'll wear it every day until her brother gets tired of seeing it."
until!"
"Silly girl," Su Mu affectionately ruffled her hair, "I can never get enough of looking at Xiaoxiao's legs."
And if you get tired of white, you can try black, black and white combinations, or other colors, even unique styles like fishnet, camisoles, and lace.
These styles can be tried one by one in the future.
This thought fueled his anticipation for finding the Heavenly Silkworm. Perhaps, by some stroke of luck, he would be able to venture into the Demon Realm and explore it.
We must search for the traces of this silkworm.
