Chapter 31: Chapter 31 : Date with Xuan Wu Han
After talking about his adventures in the past few days, Yuan wanted to go strolling around the city and taste different foods, but he was stopped by Xuan Wu Han, who asked him to have breakfast together.
Yuan accepted the offer because this would complete one of his goals today, which is to taste the food of the cultivation realm.
Soon, breakfast was prepared, which surprised Yuan because it consisted of meat and other hearty ingredients.
Yuan didn't expect Cultivators to eat such food this early in the morning, but he didn't say anything, picked up the chopsticks, and started to eat.
'Although it's incomparable with the food in my past life, it's delicious.' Yuan thought upon tasting the meat of a spirit beast whose name he didn't know.
Yuan was a foodie in his past life, so his judgment was strict when he got stuck in food or even became paralyzed, and he didn't care much anymore because all the food was tasteless.
"…" Xuan Wu Han, Xuan Chao, and Xiao Hua all stared at Yue in some surprise as he was eating too fast but he hadn't forgotten about table manners.
Yuan ate the food and felt that he was getting hungrier with every bite and his stomach seemed to be some kind of black hole.
Soon enough food for ten people disappeared and more than half of it went into Yuan's stomach.
After eating, everyone sat together and drank green tea.
"By the way, Yuan, did you come to Spring City just to visit me?" Xuan Wu Han asked with a sweet smile.
"I came to visit you and see my younger sister because I agreed with her to see her here while I visit you." Yuan lied without hesitation.
Yuan didn't mind lying a little to please a pretty girl like Xuan Wu Han.
"Do you have a younger sister?" Wu Han, though happy, didn't forget to ask about Yuan's sister.
"That's right, I'll introduce you to her later," said Yuan, getting up from his seat and asking, "If you'd like to accompany me around the city until then."
"With pleasure" - Xuan Wu Han nodded and got up, then looked at her father - "Then we'll go, Dad."
"..." Xuan Chao said nothing and silently stared at his daughter's back.
As a father, he knew his daughter well and could tell that she had good feelings for Yuan, but he didn't say anything because it was good to have relations with someone like Yuan, but he wouldn't force his daughter if she didn't want to.

"So what do you want to see first?" Xuan Wu Han asked after walking out of the Xuan Family mansion with Yuan and Xiao Hua.
"I want to see a clothing store." Yuan answered without thinking, because he wanted spare clothes because he had destroyed so many clothes in a few days.
"Clothing store…" Xuan Wu Han murmured as she thought of the best clothing store in Spring City. "Okay, let's go."
Walking through the streets, there were many food stalls that gave off delicious aromas.
"Do you want this?" Yuan asked, looking at Xiao Hua, who was looking at the sweet apple.
"Mm…" - Although she felt embarrassed when Yuan saw her staring at the sweet apple, she nodded sincerely.
"If you need something, just tell me, and you don't need to be silent." Yuan said and gently patted Xiao Hua's hair.
"..." Xuan Wu Han looked at the interaction between Yuan and Xiao Hua and felt a little jealous of Xiao Hua.
"Excuse me, I want three sweet apples," said Yuan to the old man who sold sweets.
"At once," said the old man, wrapping 3 sweet apples and handing them over to Yuan, "they cost 3 iron coins."
"Keep the rest." Yuan said and handed a silver coin to the old man and turned back to Xiao Hua and Xuan Wu Han.
"Here's this for you," Yuan said and handed a sweet apple to Xiao Hua and Xuan Wu Han.
"Thank you Yuan/Brother Yuan" - Xiao Hua and Xuan Wu Han said and took Yuan's candy.
"Is it delicious?" Yuan asked, looking at Xiao Hua who gently bit the sweet apple.
"Mm." Xiao Hua nodded, her eyes twinkling slightly as she ate the sweet apple.
"Wait a minute, Young Master!" the stall owner exclaimed, rushing over to Yuan with a few sticks of sweet apples. "Here you go, Young Master."
"It may not be precious, but it is my thanks to Young Master." - said the old man, bowed to Yuan in gratitude, placed the bag of sweets in Yuan's hand, and quickly returned to his booth.
"Shall we go?" Yuan asked and put the bag of sweets into the void ring.
Xiao Hua and Xuan Wu Han nodded and continued their way to the clothing store.
On the way, Yuan and Xuan Wu Han talked about random things and were joking and laughing, and it was a good atmosphere between them.
After walking for a while, the three arrive at a clothing store that appears to be owned by a for Cultivator.
"Welcome to my humble shop, Miss Xuan," Branch Manager Xuan Wu Han greeted with a smile, "How can I serve you today."
"I want to buy clothes for my friend here," Xuan Wu Han said, pointing to Yuan next to her.
"Then come in, and I will make sure that the clothes will be liked by the Beauty Queen and the Young Master." The branch manager said with a professional smile and entered with Yuan and the others.
Upon entering the store, the branch manager started showing many clothes for Yuan and Xuan Wu Han.
Yuan honestly didn't understand anything about the clothes and left everything to Xuan Wu Han, who gladly chose the clothes for him.
"Beautiful…" Yuan muttered as he saw extremely beautiful white clothes hanging nearby.
"This is the dress of the fairy," said the branch manager who was close to Yuan, after letting Xuan Wu Han look at the clothes alone.
"How much is this dress?" Yuan asked, looking at Xuan Wu Han, feeling that it would be very beautiful on her.
"This is the best piece in this store, and its price is 5k gold pieces," said the branch manager, while he was proud of the quality of the dress and that he had a defensive spell on it and how hard it was to damage.
"I want it" - Yuan said and took out a bag containing 5k gold coins and handed it to the branch manager - "Can you wrap it as a gift?"
"Immediately" - the branch manager took the bag of money and went to pack the dress without even looking at the contents of the bag.
The branch manager didn't suspect that Yuan wanted to deceive him because he had come with a beauty queen from the Xuan family. Besides, Yuan didn't seem like someone who lacked money.
"Cultivator Yuan" Xuan Wu Han said as she walked over to Yuan with some clothes.
"You can call me by Yuan or Brother Yuan" Yuan said and felt strange when others called him by Cultivator.
"A-Yeah, then I will call you by Brother Yuan from now on." - Although she was surprised, she couldn't help but smile as she felt herself getting closer to Yuan - "Brother Yuan can call me by Wu Han."
"Then I'll call you by Han'er" - Yuan said with a smile - "So what's up Han'er?"
"A-yeah, I want Brother Yuan to try on these clothes." Xuan Wu Han said with a face that was as red as a tomato upon hearing Yuan's call to her and she felt her heartbeat quicken.
Nobody called her Han'er except for her mother, so she felt both happy and embarrassed when Yuan called her in such a warm way.
"Of course, wait a bit." Yuan said and went to try on the clothes that Xuan Wu Han had chosen.
As soon as Yuan entered the changing room, Xuan Wu Han crouched down, covering her red face with her hands, her heart was beating rapidly.
"..." - Xiao Hua stared at Xuan Wu Han strangely, not understanding why she was blushing.

"Thank you for accompanying me shopping and walking around the city," Yuan said with a slight smile, and was happy for Xuan Wu Han to help him.
"Don't worry Brother Yuan, I've had a good time today." Xuan Wu Han said and smiled in turn.
"Although it's not much, but this is a gift from me," Yuan said and took out the white dress he had bought earlier.
Although she knew she should refuse, she couldn't do it because she was happy with Yuan's gesture and wanted to see the gift.
"Can I open it?" Xuan Wu Han asked as she took the gift bag from Yuan.
"Sure." Yuan nodded as he wanted to see her reaction upon seeing the dress.
"Nice…" Xuan Wu Han murmured as he pulled out the white dress Yuan had bought earlier — "Thank you Brother Yuan, I will cherish it."
"You're welcome, Han'er." Yuan said, grabbing Xiao Hua's hand and speaking. "Shall we go see my younger sister now?"
"Sure." Xuan Wu Han nodded and put her dress in a void ring as she walked beside Yuan.
