*********************************************************
“Respected tutor and Your Royal Highness, please allow us to take our leave.” Liu Zhenhan politely bowed to Cui Beixi and the prince, “In order to deal with the terrifying magical beasts of the Southern Cross Star Forest, I plan to purchase some weapons and equipment.
You all take care of your business.”
Liu Zhenhan found it annoying that Prince Richard’s eyes were constantly moving towards Helen.
“That’s great, I’ve served as the Acting Governor of Witherspoon City for a while.
I am quite familiar with this place.
May I have the honor of accompanying the respected Miss Helen on a stroll through Witherspoon City?” The prince’s eyes stared at Helen with deep affection.
Just as he feared, this situation was precisely what Liu Zhenhan had been most worried about.
Liu Zhenhan sighed inwardly.
“This Easter egg is a gift for the beautiful Miss Helen!” The prince stylishly swept back his golden curls and presented the Easter egg to Helen.
Now it was Helen’s turn to be at a loss.
It wasn’t appropriate to agree, but also not suitable to refuse.
The helpless little fox looked to Liu Zhenhan for help.
“It would be quite rude to refuse the prince’s gift.” Liu Zhenhan nodded his head in agreement.
Overwhelmed with joy, Liu thought, haha, originally I had planned to sell Avril’s crystal crown for money, now I can save it.
The shimmering Easter egg surely must be worth some money.
“It’s my pleasure.” The prince was overjoyed since Helen accepted his Easter egg.
“Your Highness, out of respect, why don’t you take us to explore the local culture and customs of Witherspoon?” Liu Zhenhan said with a malicious grin.
The pandas of the Panta Clan detected a familiar scent, the scent of bamboo.
Watching the crowd descend the temple steps, Cui Beixi sighed deeply.
The streets of Witherspoon City are bustling with activity.
Orcish characteristics dominate the surrounding buildings, but many human buildings are mixed in as well, sophisticated and exquisite.
Many short, dirty Beamon beggars squat on the bluestone pavement along the bustling streets.
Prince Richard brought Liu Zhenhan and the others to the city’s main commercial street where human traders gather.
Its prosperity and wealth would surely make this unworldly Piegel feel ashamed.
The gold shops, weapon stores, treehouse bars, and all sorts of shops and exotic scenes sparked exclamations of surprise from everyone.
Witherspoon City indeed lives up to its reputation.
Surprisingly, Piegel’s shaman didn’t seem taken aback.
This unexpected discovery disappointed the prince who hoped to capture envy and embarrassment in his rival’s eyes.
However, it must be admitted that compared to the unrefined Liu Zhenhan, Prince Richard’s knowledge can only be described as profound.
As a Holy Temple Knight, it’s clear that Prince Richard’s martial skills are exceptionally high among Beamon warriors.
But his eloquence and breadth of knowledge also obviously match his martial prowess.
Prince Richard is elegant and articulate.
Not only Helen but also Ning Yu, Avril, and the pandas are captivated by his words, attentively listening to his recounting of interesting anecdotes.
If it weren’t for the sake of face, Liu Zhenhan would have probably joined them in listening.
Starting from his research on clothing, Prince Richard enthusiastically discussed martial skills, musical instruments used in rituals, interesting historical trivia, and interspersed with humorous jokes, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Liu Zhenhan was left standing alone behind the group, like an unwanted tag-along.
I felt a profound sense of regret…
Stroking his Guoguo, Liu Zhenhan was overcome with sadness, thinking, only you, buddy, are keeping me company.
Before he could finish the thought, Prince Richard pulled out a copper coin from his flamboyant purse and nonchalantly tossed it on a stand selling fragrant beans.
The vendor happily presented a package of fragrant beans to him.
Though the prince had not disclosed his identity, his tulip-like noble temperament and the insignia of the Holy Temple Knights was enough to elevate his status higher than others. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Prince Richard shook the package of fragrant beans at Guoguo, who was resting on Liu Zhenhan’s shoulder.
The little creature hopped onto the prince’s shoulder and began to gnaw at the beans while shaking his large ears, with a flattering smile on his small face.
Liu Zhenhan almost fainted.
A chill gust of wind swept through the busy street filled with shops, leaving Liu feeling infinitely desolate.
The prince continued to recount his anonymous participation in the gladiator arena, where he won the yearly golden crown in a battle against a powerful Buer tribe rhino warrior….
A wave of admiration echoed now and then.
The prince’s extraordinary experiences caused Liu Zhenhan, who was following behind, a twinge of jealousy.
The prince’s generosity also benefited everyone greatly.
Along the way, Avril, Ningyu, and Helen had collected many beautiful accessories and cosmetics.
The pandas were holding a heap of fruits, named “Durian Honey,” their eyes slits from laughter.
With his elegant demeanor, the prince won everyone’s favor without spending much.
