Inside a dilapidated building in Sacred Heart City, the adventurers who had gone out to gather information returned.
"So, did you see that brat?"
"I saw it, she held on until the very end before coming out!"
"Such great talent? Should we continue?"
"Why not continue? Killing her before she grows up won't have any consequences. If it weren't for her and that slime, would we be in this situation now?"
"Besides, she's the one who killed the vice president! We brothers still can't hold our heads up high. Who else is to blame but her!"
"That's right, my fiancée broke up with me because of this, I have to kill her!" A disheveled man next to him poked his head out and said hatefully.
"Yes, yes, as long as we take her down, we'll leave Sacred Heart City immediately! With our abilities, we're not afraid of not finding a way out!"
“Then let’s wait a little longer. As long as she dares to enter the dungeon, it will be our chance to take revenge.”
"Yeah, she escaped last time, we definitely can't let her get away next time. The brothers are already scattered around the guild, we'll take action once we get concrete information."
"Tell everyone to be patient and not cause trouble! The princess is still here, and we might end up being wanted nationwide. Besides, the guild has already been investigating us for some time now."
"OK."
At this moment, Luo Fan was unaware of the potential danger. He split into two colors again and stayed in Xiao Xue and Xian Xian's arms.
It's a pity that we couldn't see Xiaoxue's figure clearly after she grew up. Xianxian was also obscured by a layer of blue mist; all we could see was her pretty face.
I want to go back into the Secret Realm of Inquiry again!
It's so much fun inside!
She reached out her magical little hands and pinched the two girls' cheeks; this felt so real. But who knew how long it would take for them to grow up?
He knew that monsters and humans were different; their growth rate didn't necessarily increase over time, and their strength also played a role.
Only after breaking through each level will there be a noticeable change in body shape.
However, the little girl raising plan doesn't sound too bad!
Ellie ignored her pet's whims and felt an indescribable emotion at the thought of the kiss in the fantasy.
Could it be that I've really fallen in love with my pet?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Shaking his head, he pulled Daisy along as they strolled through the various stalls. Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to buy more delicious food to fill his own stomach, and also some for Liz, and that gluttonous Ziyu.
It was nearing evening in Sacred Heart City, and countless magical lamps had already been lit. Numerous stalls had been set up in the streets and squares, with many people hawking their wares, selling delicacies and various goods from all over the country.
Luo Fan, along with Xianxian and Xiaoxue, followed Ai Li, constantly checking their surroundings for anything of interest.
After emerging from the secret realm, he discovered that his divine sense had been significantly enhanced. With focused attention, he could now detect sounds and information about monsters within a radius of nearly 500 meters, almost twice the range he had before entering.
Princess Caitlin and Toria followed behind Ellie, with guards occasionally bringing her snacks, making it a relaxed and comfortable affair. However, their large group scared away many people wherever they went.
"Ellie, there's something valuable at a stall about 25 meters ahead. Let's go check it out!"
Ellie, who was strolling around, suddenly heard Luo Fan calling her.
"What good stuff?"
"I feel something's off, let's go take a look. My perception is limited from this distance."
"Daisy, let's go ahead and see if we can find anything good."
"Hmm, I heard that many out-of-town businessmen have also participated in this celebration. Today is the first day, so there must be some good stuff."
After the two girls finished speaking, they walked in that direction, with the three pets following closely behind.
"Take a look, don't miss out! Rare Firefeather Stones, Frostwood Roots, and Forging Gold Grass are on sale at a bargain price!"
"Ladies, take a look! You won't regret buying this; it's absolutely genuine."
"Dude, this is high-grade epimedium, give it a try!"
As soon as she entered the area, Ellie was overwhelmed by all sorts of shouts, including some strange noises.
"Yes, it's the one on the left. We have to pretend to walk over there, don't just walk right past!" Luo Fan warned loudly, giving directions to Ai Li.
"Ellie, you have to be extra careful in these situations, otherwise you'll get tricked and have no choice but to accept the loss."
"Ah, yes, yes, that's it. You've got your eye on this stone? This thing is completely useless, you can move on now!"
Luo Fan couldn't help but offer his guidance when he suddenly sensed someone staring at them, primarily at him.
Luo Fan blinked his small eyes, searching for the source of the gaze, and found it was coming from the second floor of a hotel. Upon closer inspection, he saw it was a beautiful woman, with a little gourd-shaped creature perched on her shoulder.
"A male humanoid pet?" Luo Fan instantly lost interest. Males are never as alluring as females; my orientation is perfectly normal.
"Oh, that woman's smile is so lewd, could it be that she's spotted me? What should I do? I'm in trouble!" Luo Fan turned his head and saw Xiao Xue curiously looking at him.
"Brother Fan, who did you see?"
"A wicked woman, carrying an ugly little gourd, be careful she doesn't kidnap you!"
"I'm not afraid at all, the princess is still following behind."
"What a smart and adorable little thing."
At this moment, Ellie also arrived at the target stall and was observing the special materials that Luo Fan had pointed out to her. Seeing the commotion behind them, the people nearby decisively walked away.
"Are you sure this is a good thing?" Ellie hesitated, looking at the dark, unremarkable stone in front of her.
"Young lady, this is pure obsidian, a high-quality material for alchemy. If you want to buy it, it will only cost 2 gold coins."
"At this weight, it's definitely worth the price."
"Two gold coins? That's so expensive! Besides, pure obsidian doesn't have these messy patterns. Are you sure you're not trying to fool me?" Ellie's previous experience as a mascot had taught her many ways to identify magical materials.
"Wow, this little girl knows quite a lot. How about this, cost price, 1 gold coin? Take it or leave it!"
"I'll take the 50 silver coins. With so many impurities mixed in, it will take a lot of effort to purify it."
"this?"
"Including this fluorescent stone, it's a total of 1 gold coin. These dim fluorescent stones are very cheap."
"Deal! Young lady, you've got some skills!"
The transaction was completed, and Ellie got what she wanted. Daisy, standing next to her, was stunned, looking on with admiration.
"Ellie, you're amazing! I never even know how to bargain."
"Young lady, why don't you buy some too? It's very cheap." Having received the gold coins, the shopkeeper turned his gaze to Daisy, his face full of flattery. It's good that she can't bargain; I love customers like that.
Ellie quickly pulled Daisy away.
The group browsed around several stalls, bought a few decent magical materials and magic cores, and then reluctantly left.
Just as she was about to walk out of the exit, someone handed her an invitation, leaving Ellie somewhat bewildered.
"The third princess of the Heifel Empire, why did she invite Ellie? And why did she specifically remind her to bring her pet?" Daisy asked, looking through the invitation.
“I heard her pet is also humanoid, so she probably wants to see if Luo Fan can teach it to read.” Caitlin took the pet and glanced at it, explaining, “She’s currently studying in the capital, and I didn’t expect her to come here this time as well.”
"Your Highness, shall I go? The time is tomorrow morning." Ellie didn't want to participate in this kind of social event, especially since it involved a princess from another country.
"It's up to you. Our relationship with them is so-so. She should know I'm here and won't make things difficult for you. How about this, let Toria go with you tomorrow."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
