Chapter 174

"Welcome to Lilith's Dessert Shop!"

While Shien was still in a daze, the owner of the shop had already arrived in front of him and showed him his signature smile.

However, the shop owner's gaze was fixed on the little girl who was holding Shien's hand. His eyes were filled with indescribable fondness.

The little girl did not notice anything and only pointed at the desserts displayed on the display window.

"I want that … that … that … and that!"

The little girl had almost ordered all the desserts in the display window.

"This …"

The fondness in the shop owner's eyes immediately turned into a dilemma.

Just when Shien thought that the desserts were for display and not for sale, or that he had ordered too many, the shop owner said, "I'm sorry.

Our shop's products are high-grade products specifically for the nobles. Not only are they expensive, but you also need to show proof of your identity as a noble. May I know if the two of you …? "

The shop owner said such a tentative sentence.

"Only nobles can buy them?"

Shien was surprised.

"Yes." The shop owner once again showed his signature smile and said, "Because the products in this shop are made of very high-grade ingredients. These ingredients can even be used to make magic potions, and they themselves have some magical effects such as restoring energy or eliminating fatigue. They can only be made with the help of specialized magic tools. The ingredients are also sent from all over the world through caravans, so not only are they expensive, but they are also exclusive to the nobles. If a commoner wants to buy them, they must have a recommendation letter or a token from the nobles."

That was really troublesome. No wonder this shop was only opened in the noble district.

If Shien was alone, he would have already turned around and left.

But the little girl was still holding his hand, looking up at him.

"Is there no way to buy them?"

The little girl's tone could not hide her disappointment.

Seeing her like this, the shop owner's heart ached, let alone Shien. At this stage, if he said that he could not buy them, he would lose face.

So …

"Help me pack them up."

Shien sighed as he ordered the shop owner.

"But …"

The shop owner's face showed a troubled expression again.

Shien suddenly rolled his eyes, took out the pendant from his neck, and threw it to the shop owner.

"This … This is …!?"

Seeing the pendant, the shop owner's eyes widened, and his face turned pale.

"Can I buy them now?"

Shien confirmed as if he was bullying someone.

"Of … of course!" The shop owner immediately panicked and said, "I'll immediately … No, pack them up for you! Please wait for a moment! "

After saying that, the shopkeeper continued to run down in a panic, but ran back again in a panic. He returned the pendant to Sean in fear and trepidation, and then staggered to pack it up.

This scene gave Sean a little taste of the thrill of being pretentious and slapping people's faces in those urban novels.

"Boring and tasteless."

Sean put the pendant back on his neck, as lonely as the snow.

Shien did not notice that the little girl next to him also put a pendant back into her clothes.

Looking closely, the pendant was engraved with a dragon head, and it was completely black.

In the future, Shien accidentally learned about this matter, and more than once, he was glad that he used Rosie's pendant to solve this problem.

Otherwise, once the little girl showed this pendant, the whole kingdom would be in chaos. The king and the ministers of the kingdom would scramble over, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.

…

"Take care!"

About ten minutes later, under the shop owner's respectful farewell, Shien walked out of the shop with the little girl.

Not only was there a pile of desserts, big and small, on his body, there was a pained expression on his face.

"It's just a few desserts, and they cost me fifty gold coins. That's f * cking expensive."

Shien finally understood what "expensive" meant.

This was not something that an ordinary person could afford.

Even if he was a noble, he probably wouldn't buy a bunch of them like Sean did, right?

But considering that these desserts all had magical potion-like effects, it was not inconceivable that they would be so expensive.

As long as it was related to magic, any goods would become extremely expensive. This was common sense in the world.

"Fortunately, I don't have to buy a suitable weapon, or else I wouldn't be able to afford it."

Shien had spent most of the money that Lily had given him, and he did not have much left.

"Delicious."

On the other hand, the little girl beside him was holding a pillow in one hand and a piece of pastry in the other. She was nibbling on the pastry and seemed to be enjoying it very much.

Looking at the little girl's willful manner, Shien had a feeling.

"Don't tell me you're a big shot? Little girl? "

Recalling the so-called transaction of tens of thousands of gold coins that the little girl mentioned before, Sean seriously doubted this point.

However, the little girl furrowed her brows.

"I'm not a little girl." She raised her head, looked at Shien, and said, "I'm Ai Yi."

"Ai Yi?" Shien repeated the name.

"Yes." Ai Yi nodded, and said, "You can just call me that, if it's you."

Shien did not understand what the latter half of the sentence meant, nor did he want to understand.

"Then, little Ai Yi, I've bought you the things, you should go home obediently. Uncle I … cough cough, I have something to do, and can't play with you anymore. Let's meet again if fate wills it."

Shien patted Ai Yi's head and prepared to leave.

"Don't add the word 'little' to my name, I'm not little at all." Ai Yi slapped away Shien's hand unhappily, but still looked at Shien, and said, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes." Shien did not care, and said with a sigh, "I've been targeted by a little witch, and I don't know if I'll become her playmate. A cute little guy like you, if you come with me and are discovered by that little witch, maybe you'll be eaten in one bite."

"… Really?" Ai Yi suddenly raised her eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, said, "Then take me with you."

"Huh?" Shien was slightly startled, and then said with a bitter smile, "Didn't you hear what I just said?"

"I heard," Ai Yi said indifferently, "It's because I heard it that I want to go."

"Why?" Shien did not understand.

In the end, she gave Shien such a sentence.

"It's always been me who can eat others in one bite, no one has ever been able to eat me in one bite."

Ai Yi had said something extremely dangerous.

"So, I want to see who the person who can eat me in one bite is."

After saying that, Ai Yi was about to move.

But at this moment, a pair of hands hugged Ai Yi, and she was lifted up.

Ai Yi was stunned.
