She gave him the gift because she wanted to make him happy.
Instead of making him feel uncomfortable.
Her expression was indifferent.
Leo's heart began to pound.
Her thoughts were the same as his... she wanted what she wanted, and she wanted it herself...
"Ten million once!"
"Ten million twice!"
"The colonel isn't bidding anymore?" Shen Zhiyi tilted her head.
Leo shook his head. "It was something the princess had her eye on anyway, so I'm not going to get involved."
"Ten million three times!"
"Congratulations, Princess, on winning the Ice Feather Arrow!"
The crowd congratulated and cheered.
Shen Zhiyi smiled.
"The next item up for auction is a top-grade tonic from Liuguang City—Moon Dew Powder!"
"Please make your bid!"
Glazed City?
Shen Zhiyi was taken aback.
"Princess, what's wrong?" Samus noticed her mood and asked softly.
Leo also looked over.
Shen Zhiyi shook her head, a soft light appearing in her eyes.
"nothing."
"Liuguang City is my mother's hometown. I just remember when she was a child, she often used moon dew powder and honey fruit to make me sweet soup."
"I miss it a little."
A smile played on her lips, but a fleeting look of melancholy crossed her eyes.

Samus lowered his head, lost in thought.
He reached out and carefully hooked her little finger at the point where her skirts overlapped.
Shen Zhiyi paused for a moment, then turned her head.
Seeing no resistance in her eyes, Samus boldly covered her with his whole hand and held her firmly.
Leo, unaware that they were holding hands, said generously, "Moon Dew Powder is nothing special. If the princess wants some, I'll send someone to deliver a whole cartload to you!"
Shen Zhiyi politely declined with a faint smile.
"No need."
"It has limited energy and doesn't help me much."
Leo nodded. "That's true. The princess is already a top-tier healer, so she really doesn't need this level of supplement."
"I'll keep an eye out for someone better for the princess!"
"You're too kind, Colonel," Shen Zhiyi said politely.
Samus pursed his lips and squeezed her palm.
Feeling ticklish, Shen Zhiyi secretly stepped on his foot with her heel, using the heel of her skirt as cover.
Both of them smiled.
Not far away, Shen Xiya hid behind the curtain on the second-floor platform and exchanged a glance with Leo.
She nodded gently.
Leo withdrew his gaze, glanced nervously at Shen Zhiyi, and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
"Princess, I have prepared Astoria's most precious gems for you. Would you like to come and take a look?"
He emphasized in a low voice, "This item involves family secrets, so please accompany me alone, Princess."
