Join the ServerIn the bathtub, Su Liyue was listlessly blowing bubbles, while over in the boys’ dormitory, Ye Xingchen had already dashed out in a flash.
Liu Yuxuan, who watched Ye Xingchen rush out the door so urgently early in the morning, was completely baffled.
“Xingchen-ge, why are you so eager this early? Could something have happened to Chief Su?”
As soon as Ye Xingchen rushed out of the dormitory building, he strode quickly towards the college’s magic general store.
Liu Yuxuan leaned out the window, looking bewildered. “Xingchen-ge, this early…”
Before he could finish, Ye Xingchen’s figure had already disappeared into the morning mist.
The bell at the general store jingled loudly as he burst in.
Ye Xingchen grabbed a cute pink bedding set, but came to an abrupt halt in front of the feminine hygiene section.
Sheets and pillowcases were easy, but the thought of buying the otherworld version of sanitary pads for Su Liyue—no, for himself—gave Ye Xingchen a massive headache. In his previous life, he had never even bought such things for a girl, and now in this life, he had to buy them for himself?
The shelves were lined with a dazzling array of magical otherworldly sanitary pads, making his temples throb.
There were ice-silk instant-absorb models, womb-warming self-heating types, and even a singing elf blessing series… The magical runes flickering on the packages dazzled his eyes.
The most absurd was the singing one, which was currently humming a ‘Menstrual Health Tune’ on the shelf.
f*ck, he couldn’t understand any of them. How was he supposed to choose?
“Need a recommendation, dear? If you’re buying for your girlfriend, this one contains moon grass essence…” The shopkeeper said with a smile as she approached.
As the college store, many girls came to buy sanitary pads here, and occasionally there were shy boys like him.
He clearly looked like someone buying this for his girlfriend for the first time, hence the embarrassment.
“No, it’s for myself.” Ye Xingchen’s ears turned bright red, and in a moment of panic, he blurted it out.
Helpless, he steeled himself and grabbed a few random packs, but the instructions on the packaging only made his head pound harder.
After all, he couldn’t very well say it was for Su Liyue’s own use, could he?
“For yourself?” The shopkeeper’s expression froze instantly, her eyes scanning his lower body back and forth as she imagined eighteen kinds of perverted scenarios.
The shopkeeper, who had just been thinking he was a caring boyfriend, now felt something was very off.
A guy buying sanitary pads for himself? Or had she mistaken his gender? Was this young man actually a young lady?
At that moment, a familiar cramping pain struck his lower abdomen—the same pain that made Su Liyue in the bathtub curl up again.
He grabbed the shelf, gasping. ‘This damn dual-body connection! Even period pain had to come in double!’
The shopkeeper was startled by his suddenly pale face. “Are you alright, dear? Would you like a pack of brown sugar ginger tea powder?”
“…Yeah.” Ye Xingchen gritted out the word, internally cursing the one who made him transmigrate ten thousand times.
Making him, a millennia-old straight male cultivator, experience menstrual cramps—what kind of demonic setting was this?!
The shopkeeper stared at his pained expression; it definitely didn’t look fake.
The way he clutched his belly and doubled over was exactly the posture of those few days each month.
Looking more closely at his jade-smooth skin, slender neck, and fingertips trembling slightly from pain…
She suddenly realized—this was clearly a tomboy! Although dressed like a boy, that fair, delicate face couldn’t fool anyone.
“Ah, young girls these days…” The shopkeeper shook her head inwardly, the more she thought, the more it made sense.
This girl was probably disguising herself as a boy to focus on learning magic.
With skin so beautiful, if she grew her hair long and wore a dress, she’d be chased by those young lads. How could she concentrate on cultivation?
The more she thought, the more touched she felt, and she couldn’t help adding two extra packs of womb-warming patches to the bag:
“Child, Auntie understands. It’s right to focus on your studies when young, but you must take care of yourself too!”
Then the shopkeeper winked meaningfully. “Dressing as a boy does save a lot of trouble. Auntie understands~”
Ye Xingchen froze completely, the sanitary pads almost dropping from his hand.
He opened his mouth to explain, but another wave of abdominal pain cut him off, leaving him leaning against the counter, gasping.
“Don’t be shy~” The shopkeeper quickly packed the womb-warming patches and other items together with the pads into a bag.
“Our store’s confidentiality is top-notch! Last week, there was a girl in men’s clothing who bought a pregnancy test magic crystal… Ahem, that’s fifty-three copper coins total, and I’ll throw in a pack of magic red date tea!”
Ye Xingchen paid with trembling hands, and as he fled out the door, he still heard the shopkeeper’s reminder behind him: “Remember to drink plenty of hot water, girl!”
