Chapter 12: A Seed of Doubt
[: 3rd POV :]
"Now that we have our stomachs filled, should
we go for some shopping?"
It had been a long time since Daniel had the money to shop, and now that he was in a city he would take the opportunity.
"I will follow wherever you go, master"
Cecilia had no qualms about following her master.
But she was also curious about what it meant to have money.
'I still remember how I was jealous of those rich young ladies from different families as I stared at them from hidden alley'
'I always wish I could be the same as them'
In the past, she was bitter about her situation and would always hate herself for being poor.
'But now I have Master with me, there's nothing more that I could ask for'
'I'm already satisfied with what I have'
She smiled while following Daniel to a certain shop.
After a while, they reached a Clothing Shop that was quite popular with its citizens, especially all of the young ladies.
"Old man, give me all of the clothing sets that you have in stock and don't worry about the payment"
"I'll give you this spiritual stone instead"
He took out 1 Purple Spiritual Stone and placed it on top of the counter.
"T-This is a purple spiritual stone!?"
"Y-Young man are you sure you want to buy all of the clothing set we have in stock!?"
The owner was in deep shock as it was rare to find a purple spiritual stone.
At the same time, those who possess a Purple Spiritual Stone would mean, they hold a prestigious Status.
All of the clothing sets he made were at most priced around 1 Gold Coin for each set.
However, a Purple Spiritual Stone is worth hundreds of times of altogether the shop assets.
This is why he was shocked to find a Purple Spiritual Stone.
He assumed Daniel had a great background in the family, and he didn't dare to act snobbishly.
"Of course"
Daniel simply replied and his answer caused the owner to pack all of the clothing set with a smile.
"Young man, may I assume that all of the set of clothes that you wish to buy is for the young beautiful lady right over there?"
The owner pointed and he didn't forget to compliment them.
Moreover, she was genuinely pretty and the owner thought it wasn't a long stretch to call her goddess of beauty.
"That's right"
Daniel replied and couldn't help but comment 'Cheeky Bastard' in his mind since he was aware that the owner had put on airs to get on his good side.
"I knew it. Then if you don't mind, I'll need to measure her sizes"
The Owner carefully placed his words as he didn't want to offend Daniel or at least, the background he assumed he might have.
"Make it quick"
Daniel knew it was part of his job, and he wouldn't take it to heart.
"Alright,"
The owner was professional with his work as it took less than a minute to measure Cecilia's sizes.
Once he had confirmed all of her sizes, he chose all of the sets of clothing that personally suited her.
"Here you go, young man"
"I have accurately measured the size and all of the set of clothing would be a match for her"
"Everything that the shop has to offer is inside these containers," He said with a smile.
"Alright here you, and by the way. Do you know any shops that sell plant seeds?"
Daniel gave the stone to the man, and at the same time, he requested a shop he wanted to visit.
"A shop that sells Plant Seeds?"
"Oh, if you're talking about that, there is a shop that fits your requirements"
"If you walk straight and turn left after the food stall, you will come across such a shop"
He narrated the way to the shop and after listening, Daniel said his farewell to the owner.
"Here"
"Consider this as a gift for me and...there are different varieties of clothes that we can try in the future" Daniel teased.
"Alright...master and thank you"
Cecilia blushed as she accepted bags of clothes.
She wasn't an idiot for not realizing the meaning behind his words.
Moreover, Daniel didn't want to prolong the main point of accepting female disciples.
It was given and taken, and if he treated them right and fairly, they in turn, gave him what he wanted and gradually, they would fall in love with him.
Moreover, he had declared openly to Cecilia that her mind and body would be his, and she had accepted that.
"But before we have our fun, let's visit the shop before we can stop for the day," Daniel said.
She followed him from behind with a nervous yet excited expression.
She felt hot thinking about the naughty acts she could do with her master.
As they made their way to the shop, Daniel couldn't help but pause upon arriving.
'What a beautiful milf...'
He was blown away by the beauty of the mature woman with her unbelievable cow breast and her perky ass.
With her tight clothes, she tempted all of the men around her.
"What can I do for you young man?"
The woman noticed a certain man looking at her and she called out to him.
'Is he a cultivator...?'
She assumed according to his robe and a sword hanging around his waist.
She was used to that kind of look as the people around here did the same.
As long as they never crossed the line, she will just ignore it.
However...if one paid attention carefully to her body, one would notice bruises and red marks on her body.
'Is she being abused?'
He noticed the marks and was worried for her.
At the same time, he wanted this woman to be part of his harem.
After all, with such a heavenly-defying body, who wouldn't want it?
He won't hold back his desires.
However, he won't force his desires on women who reject him.
On the other hand, Cecilia was just watching and listening to their conversation.
"What kind of seeds do you have?" He questioned.
"We sell Sun Rose Seed, Zen Seed.....
She listed down all of the seeds she sells and just like in the previous shop, Daniel took out purple spiritual stones, and this time, he took out 10.
"I don't know how much this cost, but these are probably enough"
"Let me just add another 5 just for a beauty like you"
He complimented me after taking out another 5.
"M-Mister, I can't possibly accept this"
"The amount you give is thousands of times more than the original price"
She never thought and expected that a man would be willing to give her such a huge amount.
'H-He's giving this much because he finds me pretty...?'
Her impression of Daniel increased by a small margin.
"It's fine. I'm giving these away because you're pretty and I like you"
Daniel complimented genuinely and after a few more times of convincing, she finally accepted it with a wide smile.
"Thank you, young man, you probably don't know how much this means to me"
"I have a 6-year-old daughter who's suffering from sickness and this would help us a lot"
She began to tear up her body shivering.
It was difficult for her to accept the 15 Spiritual Stones.
After all, having 15 Spiritual Stones is equivalent to the term 'Millionaire'.
With that amount on her hand, she was scared of accepting it.
However, only she knows how much she needs it.
"I'm so sorry to hear that...but I'm glad that I could offer help"
He didn't expect she had a daughter but it was not that shocking.
They both conversed for another few minutes with Daniel flirting with the milf.
The more he flirted and complimented the more she felt a certain feeling for him.
Spending time with Daniel had created a seed of doubt inside of her.
"I think it's time for me to go Mrs Mecil, I hope fate will let us meet again"
He offered his farewell and left with Cecilia who had one last look towards her.
It wasn't a gaze that contained killing intent, but rather the thought of how bothersome and annoying that would be towards her master.
"It was nice talking to you Mr. Daniel and I hope you could come by someday to accompany this lonely married woman"
She hinted at her desire to which Daniel laughed and left.
As she watched his figure getting further and further away, she felt lonely.
Being appreciated by a cultivator made her realize that she has value and is not someone who should be treated harshly.
'If only my husband had a little bit of care in him...our lives would have been different'
She began to compare her husband with the young man and discovered that everything about them was different.
Perhaps, she had enough of her husband that her seeds of doubts began to grow.
