章節 33: Aunty Lu

Afterwards, they parted ways, and Ye Ling'er led James to the streetside stall that sold candy.

When they arrived, Ye Ling'er was overjoyed and said, "Hello, Aunty Lu, this time I want to buy a lot of candy... hehe."

"Ohh, it's Ye Ling'er. Where is Ye Wudi? And who is this handsome young man?" Aunty Lu immediately recognized Ye Ling'er because she often bought candy from her.

However she was confused since Ye Ling'er was not with Ye Wudi but with an unknown young man.

"This is big brother James. He is going to buy me a lot of candy today." Ye Ling'er introduced James while warmly hugging him.

Aunt Lu simply smiled and shook her head, looking at her happily because someone was going to buy her a lot of candy today.

"Aunt Lu, how much is it for all of these candies? Can you please tell me the price in terms of the beast cores?"

James was not interested in knowing the price in common currency and directly asked for the price for all of these candies, as they wouldn't be expensive since these candies were just ordinary candies.

Aunt Lu was surprised when she heard James ask for the price of all of the candy. However, she quickly regained her senses and calculated it.

While she was counting all of her candies and counting their prices, James took one of the lollipops and tried it. If it tasted good, he would bring a few for Minji.

'Hmm, the taste is actually really good. It is sweet and fruity.' James thought to himself as he put the candy in his mouth.

"After counting the candies, there are a total of 103 candies, let's count it as 100 candies and each candy is one low rank 0 (Ferocious Rank Beast) beast core." Aunt Lu spoke after counting all of the candies.

"Okay, wait for a minute. I will exchange some beast cores first." James immediately walked to a nearby shop and exchanged his high rank 2 beast core from the iron horn sheep for various rank 1 beast cores.

Afterwards, James returned to the candy stall, gave Aunt Lu 10 low rank 1 beast cores wrapped in animal skin, and took away all of the candies that had already been prepared.

"This... isn't this too much?" Aunt Lu was surprised to find 10 low rank 1 beast cores and wanted to give 9 of these back to James.

However, James refused, saying that it meant nothing to him, and he immediately left so that she couldn't refuse anymore.

"Let's go to your big brother, and by the way, can I have some of the candy?" James asked Ye Linger as he gave her a space ring filled with candy.

"Big brother James, do you like candy too?"

"No, it's for my little sister."

"What? Do you have a younger sister? What is her name? How old is she? Does she like candy too?" Ye Ling'er was surprised and asked James curiously.

"Her name is Minji, she is 5 years old. She is similar to you, she likes to eat anything tasty."

"Can I play with her? I don't have many friends in the town because they are older than me, and don't have the time to play with me since they usually practice on their own." Ye Ling'er looked at James pleadingly.

"Of course, I will let you play with her in the future." James replied with a smile.

James actually had this idea when he saw Ye Ling'er for the first time, because he felt bad for Minji that he couldn't accompany her all the time.

That's why he came up with the idea of finding her a friend or enrolling her in a children's school.

However, this world was not like the earth in his previous life, even if there were schools in this world, he couldn't leave her alone without ensuring her safety was 100% safe, which was impossible for the current him. That was why he was focusing on becoming stronger first.

Subsequently, James proceeded to an inn where the two siblings usually stayed in the city and sat together in the restaurant on the first floor of the inn.

"What do you want to do now that you have done with helping me as the guide as well as with your own business here?" James asked Ye Wudi after he ordered some dishes for Ye Ling'er.

Ye Wudi thought for a while and answered, "I will return to the town with the caravan, which should reach here around tomorrow morning, and will most likely stay here for a day or two before heading back to the town. How about you?"

"Oh, I will leave again right away after this, and go to Nagabourne Super Level City, since I have something to do there." James nodded his head slightly and spoke.

When Ye Ling'er heard that, her eyes lit up, and she asked, "Big brother James, can we come with you? My brother and I have never been to another city other than here."

"Don't bother young master James." Ye Wudi knocked on her head, as she only knew how to eat and play.

"Awww, why do you always knock on my head? Do you want me to become as dumb as you, who practiced every day? Hmmph, I won't become like you, so don't hit my head again, you know!" Ye Ling'er touched her head while glaring at her brother cutely, as she was still eating the candy too.

"No, just stay here with your brother first, as it could be dangerous on the way there, and I won't be gone for long because I'll be back tomorrow or the next day. Besides, I will leave Little Lion here with you while I am away.

And remember, just in case something happens while I am away, tell Little Lion to contact me immediately, and I will immediately come to you as soon as possible."

James refused Ye Ling'er and explained to the siblings that he would return once he finished with his business in Nagabourne Super Level City.

"Okay then, don't forget to bring your little sister to let me play with her." Ye Ling'er pulled a face and demanded.

"Of course I won't forget about that." James said with a chuckle.
