Zi Hua joyfully carried out a mountain of confectioneries, luckily Xue Lian had a fat wallet due to her own foodie habits and other reasons.
'The way to someone's heart is their stomach' But, of course, do not be bribed by bad guys through food, Zi Hua had already assessed her so it was no problem.
Zi Hua wasn't picky with the food she eats for meals, but she loved confectioneries since they reminded her of the happy times when her parents would get desserts for her and brother.
When she had realized how much she had picked, Zi Hua had some conscience and offered to pay since she had quite a lot of money from selling those failures and currency was the same in the continents, but Xue Lian insisted on paying.
Zi Hua relented to Xue Lian's insistence and took upon the job of carrying all the 'loot' to a place where they could eat them all.
Thanks to Zi Hua great balancing skills, the mountain of food survived, she could consider being a circus performer as a back-up plan if she ever needs to.
They settled for a nice meadow filled will mallow flowers near the edge of the city, thankfully they both don't have hay fever and even if they did, cultivation would prevent any hay fever symptoms.
It didn't take that long for them to gobble them all up, most of which ended up in Xue Lian's stomach, Zi Hua couldn't compare to a true foodie.
After they finished eating their fill, they decided to take a stroll to digest what they had eaten so back to the market they went!
However, the two's stomachs were like black holes, when they returned they found another shop then ate, then went back and found another shop, taking turns to pay and the cycle repeated until sunset.
If this was a video game Zi Hua would've definitely acquired the title of 'Black hole foodie' along with Xue Lian.
"It's quite late now, let's head back to the inn, which room are you in? I'm in room 23" Xue Lian suggested.
"Sure, I'm in room 15, not far from yours"
"Yay, let's hang out together again tomorrow" The two of them had opened up after 'a' meal.
"Sure, Nian Gao" Their wallets were still quite fat even after today's quest.
"Nian Gao? If that's so then I'll call you Doufu Hua" They merrily laughed together.
Only when Zi Hua returned to her room did she realize that she had forgotten her objective throughout the day, the frightful power of delicious food.
"Master~ You forgot me!" Xiao Hong's pout face immediately entered Zi Hua's view when she entered Heaven-defying artifact instead of the little dumpling jumping into her embrace as usual.
^__^)'
"Sorry, I'll remember to take you next time, I was eating so I forgot" Her mind was focused on finding yummy food the entire day as well as reminiscing about the past.
"Wahhhwahh, master you ate delicious food without me" Xiao Hong acted like a child throwing a tantrum and started crying, her master haven't been giving them 'candy' much lately and then she goes out to eat yummy food without them.
Zi Hua saw it and was quite helpless, it was her fault so she had no right to make excuses.
"Xiao Hong, I'm sorry, I promise that I'll bring you guys outside tomorrow and treat you guys to yummy food, okay?" Zi Hua coaxed.
"Really? Promise?" Xiao Hong's tears immediately went away and her eyes twinkled like stars.
"Promise"
'Why do I feel like I've fallen into her trap' Normally it's Zi Hua setting up traps for others but against her babies, she's falling right into their traps.
The power of cuteness.
Xiao Hong smiled cheerfully and ran around celebrating. (A/N: My reaction when my WiFi came back after going down for 5 hours last week)
"Xiao Shen, do you want to come?" Xiao Shen was much more sensible and Xiao Hong and Xiao Shen's appearances swapping would make much more sense.
"Okay!" It was in the Heaven-defying artifact all day so it would be quite fun to go out, he wouldn't have to worry about others seeing him either since only spirit beasts and his master can see him since he's an artifact spirit.
"Have you found any clues yet?" She had Xiao Bai tell Xiao Shen about what she was told.
"Sorry master, not yet"
"Don't worry, no rush" The nagging feeling to go to Sunlight Continent was still there but she had gotten used to it so it wasn't much of a deal, she didn't want the little dumpling to blame himself, she patted his head affectionately.
After she had arrived in this world and had that dream, she could sense herself changing for the better, surrounded by those that were dear to her, if only they were here too...
