After walking around for a bit, we still hadn't bought what we came here to buy.
Instead, I still followed Liu Ao Xue around as she enjoyed herself.
That was until…
"Grr…"
Liu Ao Xue suddenly stopped when she heard this before looking down at her own stomach.
As she looked at her stomach, there was an embarrassed expression that appeared on her face.
Yes, it was her stomach that had just cried out.
The embarrassed look on her face quickly spread, but I couldn't help finding it cute.
When I first met Liu Ao Xue, she had seemed like some kind of aloof immortal.
But now that I've spent some time with her, she became a cute girl who had her own charm. She was someone that I couldn't help watch over since she seemed like she found joy in every part of this life.
Like she was experiencing things for the first time.
Since her stomach was gurgling, I pointed at a restaurant in front of us and said, "Master, shall we get some lunch?"
Liu Ao Xue looked a bit embarrassed when she heard me ask this, but she eventually gave a nod. With a cough, Liu Ao Xue then said, "It's about time for lunch, so let's go eat."
I just gave a simple nod in response, choosing not to tease her for this.
There really was something about Liu Ao Xue that made me want to watch over her.
Instead of her being the master, it was like I was her parent.
That was the feeling that I felt.
In the restaurant, Liu Ao Xue surprised me with her order.
She didn't hold back at all as she ordered enough food to feed us ten times over. Even then, she was still looking at the menu as if she was looking for more things to eat.
In the end, she ordered every dish on the menu…no, there were a few that she didn't order.
This master of mine really was like a child as she avoided dishes that seemed to have carrots in them. It seemed that she didn't like to eat carrots at all, just like a child.
The waiter was uncertain about all this food that we were ordering, but I just casually tossed a hundred low grade spirit stones over while saying, "That should be enough to pay, take the rest as your tip."
The waiter's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this and he quickly went off to place our order.
Liu Ao Xue was already used to seeing me throwing out money like this since this was what I had been doing the entire time, so she didn't even blink an eye when she saw me throw out these hundred spirit stones.
Though, she did keep a count of all the money that I had spent.
Adding it all up, there were already over a thousand low grade spirit stones…
Just how did he have this much money?
The real shock came when the food arrived.
As I watched her eat, my chin dropped.
It seemed that this master of mine had been holding back during breakfast since she wasn't used to us yet. But the moment that she let loose and ate like she meant it, it was terrifying to watch.
The food almost seemed to disappear the moment that it reached her hands, going into her mouth before anyone could see her hands move.
I was almost worried that there wouldn't be any food for me left, but I saw that there was a part of the table that Liu Ao Xue didn't stretch her hands to. It was the space right in front of me, leaving some food for me.
It seemed that this master of mine did at least think of me a little.
So we just ate without saying anything, though that was mainly because it would have been hard for her to say anything with the rate that she was eating.
As we ate, we could hear the gossip from around us.
With our enhanced hearing, we were able to hear what those around us were saying with ease.
"Did you hear? There was a special addition to the auction this afternoon."
"What special addition? Why didn't I hear about it?"
"They announced it this morning. It's said that some very special items have come in and are now the star of the auction."
"Special? How special?"
"I don't know since they were trying to keep everyone in suspense, but I did hear that it's something that's even made the surrounding sects move. Even the Azure Cloud Sect and Mist Valley are planning to come."
"Those seventh ranked sects? The rulers of the region?"
"Right…but Mist Valley…"
"I know, the beauties of Mist Valley are really something else."
My eyes lit up when I heard this.
As a man, I naturally would react to something like beauties.
But that only lasted for a second as I could feel a chill run down my spine.
I saw that Liu Ao Xue was glaring at me, as if she was jealous.
I quickly revealed an awkward smile and held my hand up in surrender to show that I didn't mean anything.
Luckily, she didn't seem to pursue this.
Instead, she turned her attention to the other thing that they discussed.
"An auction? We should go. We might be able to find a good spiritual weapon for you there." Liu Ao Xue said in a serious manner, like she was acting like an actual master.
After calming down during lunch, she had realized that she had completely forgotten about their purpose in coming here in the first place.
Now that there was this auction, it would be a chance for her to accomplish her goal of acting like a master and buying a spiritual weapon for her disciple.
But there was something that she was worried about.
What the gossipers around her had said about the other sects coming for the auction.
Since it was an auction, it was the highest bidder who would win.
This was bad for her who had a small budget in the first place.
Liu Ao Xue just hoped that she would be able to afford it with her meagre savings.
