The Villainesses Are All On My Side, How Can You Compete With Me? - Chapter 6:

Chapter 6: Sincere Love, Flowing Celestial Dress with Wide Sleeves

A golden, radiant longsword suddenly appeared in Liu Bai’s mind.

One side of the sword was engraved with mountains and rivers, while the other bore carvings of sun, moon, and stars. The hilt was inscribed with mysterious runes. A majestic imperial pressure surged through Liu Bai’s consciousness.

It was the Emperor Weapon – Executing Immortal Sword!

Liu Bai’s eyes lit up uncontrollably. Just by gifting Luo Li a high-grade Battle Weapon, he had received an Emperor Weapon in return?

Others wouldn’t even dare to dream of such fortune!

Looking at Luo Li, Liu Bai found himself growing fonder of her.

This wasn’t some Female Villain—this was clearly his lucky star, his treasure girl!

Luo Li held the Heavenly Fiend Spear in her hands, her heart quietly moved. “Brother Liu Bai is so good to me. Yesterday he gave me spiritual pills, today he gifted me a Battle Weapon!”

“I have to work hard and repay Brother Liu Bai in the future!”

The Divine Armament Pavilion’s shopkeeper clapped beside them, “Wonderful, wonderful! Young Master Liu is truly generous. A divine spear paired with a heroine—what a perfect match!”

That Heavenly Fiend Spear had been sitting in the shop for years, never finding a compatible owner. He had long worried it wouldn’t sell. Now, selling it to Luo Li finally fulfilled one of his long-held wishes.

After receiving the Heavenly Fiend Spear, Luo Li was clearly in a good mood. She stored the spear in her storage ring and continued shopping with Liu Bai.

As they passed a jewelry store, a thought struck Liu Bai. He brought Luo Li inside.

Luo Li wasn’t particularly interested in jewelry, but since Liu Bai entered, she followed.

The luxurious display dazzled her eyes. She still wasn’t interested, but she couldn’t deny how beautiful everything looked. No wonder girls liked this sort of thing.

“What hairpins do you have here? Show them all to me.”

The jewelry shopkeeper clearly recognized Liu Bai and quickly responded, “Ah, it’s Young Master Liu. Are you choosing a hairpin for Miss Luo?”

“Mm, that’s right,” Liu Bai nodded slightly.

He had noticed that although Luo Li had an absolutely stunning face, her attire was simple and understated, not bringing out her beauty fully. Her hair, soft and smooth, was tied casually with a rubber band—completely carefree.

In the Great Zhou, women wore hairpins, men wore coronets. That’s why Liu Bai wanted to buy her a hairpin.

Hearing that Liu Bai wanted to buy something else for her, Luo Li was momentarily stunned. Then she quickly shook her head, “Brother Liu Bai, you’ve already given me too much…”

“It’s just a small hairpin. Take it.”

Besides, I get rewarded treasures in return.

Looking at Luo Li’s hesitant expression, Liu Bai felt a touch of frustration.

This won’t do. Their relationship still wasn’t official, and giving her so many gifts might seem strange—as if he had other motives.

He needed to make Luo Li his, officially.

He recalled Liu Jianglong’s words…

Propose marriage!

It seemed it was time to bring that up.

Once Luo Li became his wife, then as her husband, giving her gifts would be completely justified.

At the thought, Liu Bai’s lips curved into a slight smile.

The shopkeeper quickly presented several hairpins for them to choose from. Liu Bai said, “A’Li, pick one you like.”

“I’ll let you choose for me, Brother Liu Bai.”

She didn’t know much about jewelry anyway.

Liu Bai examined each hairpin carefully and seriously. He wasn’t being perfunctory at all.

Luo Li could see that he truly wanted to gift her something. Her heart stirred sweetly. The way she looked at Liu Bai became softer and more tender.

After quite a while, Liu Bai finally selected a silver-white hairpin. On it was engraved a beautifully shaped flower.

It resembled an orchid, delicate like a butterfly.

The shopkeeper smiled lightly and said, “Young Master, you have good eyes. This is the Butterfly Orchid Silver Hairpin, the most intricately crafted one in our shop. Many couples come to buy it because the flower language of the butterfly orchid is sincere love.”

Sincere love…

Hearing that, Luo Li blushed.

She thought Liu Bai didn’t know the meaning behind the hairpin and said, “Brother Liu Bai, do you want to pick another one?”

Though she liked Liu Bai, he had never openly said he liked her. This sudden gift of a silver hairpin with such meaning worried her that he might feel awkward, so she spoke up.

But Liu Bai smiled, “Why, A’Li? You don’t like it?”

“No, it’s not that. I like it very much, it’s just that the flower’s meaning…”

“I know what it means. I picked the silver hairpin on purpose,” Liu Bai said with a faint smile.

Luo Li’s eyes widened. She stared at Liu Bai in disbelief.

He knew the meaning of the butterfly orchid… and still picked it.

His message was clear, even if unspoken.

It was as good as a confession.

In that moment, Luo Li’s heart surged with shock, joy, and sweetness… She stood there frozen, unsure what to say. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears.

The shopkeeper tactfully stepped aside, not disturbing them.

Liu Bai reached out and gently wiped the tears from Luo Li’s cheek, his voice filled with tenderness, “Why are you crying? Anyone who sees this might think I bullied you.”

He asked the shopkeeper to pack the silver hairpin.

When Luo Li received it, she carefully put it away with the utmost seriousness, “Brother Liu Bai, thank you. This is the best gift I’ve ever received in my life!”

“Then get ready—because I’ll be giving you even better ones in the future,” Liu Bai said with a smile.

As soon as he gifted the silver hairpin, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Host has gifted a silver hairpin. Random Multiplied Return activated. Host has received the Flowing Celestial Dress with Wide Sleeves!]

Flowing Celestial Dress with Wide Sleeves?

In Liu Bai’s mind, a new dress appeared—deep blue in color, elegant and noble, adorned with several pearls and crystal chips. It was dazzling and magnificently luxurious.

Suddenly, he imagined Luo Li wearing it.

She would look breathtaking.

“Day after tomorrow is my birthday. A’Li, will you come?”

On the way back, Liu Bai asked.

Luo Li nodded without hesitation, “Of course. It’s Brother Liu Bai’s birthday. How could I not go?”

“Good. Oh, right, the Spirit Advancement Pill I gave you yesterday—have you taken it?” Liu Bai asked.

Luo Li shook her head, “Not yet. Brother Liu Bai, are you going back now?”

She thought he wanted to use it to break through to the Battle Spirit Realm, so she took out the pill without hesitation.

Liu Bai shook his head, “I guessed you hadn’t used it yet. Take it before the birthday banquet. Let’s see if you can break through to the Battle Spirit Realm.”

“But Brother Liu Bai, you…”

“I don’t need it. Because—I’m already a Battle Spirit.”

Spiritual Qi flowed around Liu Bai, exuding the pressure of a Battle Spirit!

Sensing it, Luo Li’s eyes widened, “Battle… Battle Spirit! Sixteen-year-old Battle Spirit… Brother Liu Bai, you’re amazing!!”

She looked at him in awe.

Liu Bai smiled faintly, “You see, I’ve already advanced to Battle Spirit. I don’t need the Spirit Advancement Pill anymore, so you should use it.”

“Mm… alright then.”

Luo Li nodded seriously.

Brother Liu Bai was so outstanding—she couldn’t fall too far behind.

She had never forgotten why she joined the army in the first place—just to catch up to Liu Bai’s footsteps and become someone worthy of standing beside him!
