"Really? Let me try!"
It turned out she wasnât eating it correctly, so she took a small bite.
Both sour and sweet!
This was a taste she had never experienced before.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Qin Ying said with a smile, then looked at the child who was almost drooling, "Here, you can have it."
"Thank you, big brother!"
The child, who had been craving it for a long time, quickly reached out his little hand.
"Hehe!"
Qin Ying placed another skewer of candied hawthorn into his hand, patted his little head, "Eat up, itâs really delicious!"
His expression was very gentle.
This made Chen Xuanâs expression suddenly become peculiar.
"How come... so effeminate?"
"Isnât it a bit rude of you to just stare at me like this?"
At this moment, Qin Ying turned around, and their eyes met.
In fact, she had sensed it the moment Chen Xuan was looking at her, but she was too focused on the candied hawthorn to pay attention to him.
"Sure enough, he can sense when others are watching him!"
Chen Xuan thought to himself.
But a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands toward him, "Just a bit curious, is all? Please donât mind, sir!"
"Curious?"
Qin Ying was a bit puzzled, "Curious about what?"
"Curious about someone not knowing how to eat candied hawthorn! Haha..."
Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.
But seeing that his expression had changed, he quickly stopped smiling, "Donât get upset, sir. Itâs understandable, after all, for someone from a noble family like you, itâs normal not to know about things that common people eat."
Seeing him say this, Qin Yingâs expression became a little better.
Moreover, his vigilance towards him also slightly eased.
It seemed to be just an accidental encounter after all.
"That counts as a sensible remark!"
"What?"
Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback, and then he couldnât help laughing in exasperation.
After all, he was a member of the Great Yuâs Imperial Family, and such words... He shook his head helplessly.
But he didnât argue with him and directly said, "Then Iâll take my leave!"
And then he headed towards the mansion.
"Wait!"
But Qin Ying called out to stop him.
"What? Something else?"
Chen Xuan didnât want to have much interaction with this person from deep down since he was a member of the Great Yuâs Imperial Family. Who knew what means he might have.
So it was safest to stay away from him.
"Iâm new here and not very familiar with the place, can you show me around? After all, I spent quite a fortune at the brothel that day!"
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, a bit hesitant.
"Iâll give you benefits!"
Seeing this, Qin Ying added another sentence.
This piqued Chen Xuanâs interest, and he asked with a smile, "What benefits can you offer me?"
"Come on, youâll find out then!"
Qin Ying didnât explain more and took the lead, walking towards the lively area, seemingly not worried at all that Chen Xuan would refuse.
"Are all people from the Imperial Family this confident?"
Chen Xuan murmured to himself, but still followed with his feet.
After that,
Qin Ying would ask him about anything she didnât recognize, again and again, to put it bluntly, she was just like a curious baby.
As if she had never seen the world!
One street followed another street.
In the end, Chen Xuan didnât even want to respond to her questions.
"Isnât this enough!"
Chen Xuan, with a dry throat, was holding a bunch of stuff awkwardly, two grown men wandering around.
He was even holding things.
This night alone had attracted countless strange glances.
He could feel his face burning with embarrassment, but she acted as if nothing was amiss.
Enjoying the stroll very much.
What on earth is this!
He didnât have such a weird hobby.
"Ah..."
Qin Ying seemed not quite satisfied, having never left the Imperial City since birth, and most of the time spent either in cultivation or within the Imperial Palace.
For him, what is habitual for ordinary people was a rare opportunity.
Thatâs why after arriving at the Molan Mansion, he transformed into a man and went out every day for a stroll.
But... looking at Chen Xuanâs expression.
Thinking twice... forget it.
After all, the city wasnât small, not something that could be finished in one go.
Although they were going to start searching the counties under the Molan Mansion soon, he didnât need to go, just wait in the city for news.
Thereâs plenty of time.
So he nodded, "Okay, letâs call it a day, but... weâll continue tomorrow!"
"What?"
Chen Xuan couldnât help leaning his head, incredulous that he would actually say such things.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Seeing his reaction, Qin Ying even seemed a bit displeased.
"Are we that familiar?"
He was quite fed up, did people from the Imperial Family always feel so self-satisfied?
Or was it just that they were always like this, and had gotten used to it.
With what he said, Qin Ying finally realized he had treated him as his servant for the whole night, so...
But still, he said, "Just consider me your friend, of course, rewards... benefits wonât be lacking for you!"
Originally he intended to say rewards, but felt it was inappropriate at the time, so he quickly changed his wording.
"Do you think I lack anything?"
Chen Xuan looked helpless.
All forces big and small in the Molan Mansion made offerings to him every month, thought of giving him anything good they had.
Right now, there wasnât really anything he fancied.
Even if there was, he couldnât possibly give it to him.
"Youâve reached Late-Stage Immortal Grade, Iâll give you a pill to break through to the Profound Realm, how about that?"
After making the offer, Qin Ying looked at him with full confidence.
"Thank you!"
"But... no need, Iâm confident I can achieve the Profound Realm on my own!"
Who do you take me for?
A mere pill, trying to brush off a beggar.
"What?"
Qin Ying couldnât believe his ears, this was a Realm Breakthrough Profound Realm pill, not something ordinary.
Even in the Imperial City, such pills were extremely rare.
It was only because she belonged to the Imperial Family that she could be so generous.
But now... he actually refused.
This is the Molan Mansion!
The most remote mansion in Great Yu, with hardly any Profound Realm cultivators.
Since when are Realm Breakthrough Profound Realm pills no longer enticing anyone?
Feeling quite displeased, he directly asked, "Then what do you want?"
