“Uh... Xing, you were this rich?” As they walked down the street, Eve couldn’t help asking. She made Xing Hai crouch so she could whisper in his ear.

“Mm.” Xing Hai nodded. Wealth didn’t mean much to him. He could create it with a mere thought, and this was only a small bag of gold coins.

“My money is your money, Eve,” he added.

“N-no, you can’t!” Eve hurriedly waved her hands. “You worked so hard to earn that money, Xing. How could I, as your master, use it?”

“But...”

“No buts!” Eve’s tone was so firm that even she was a little taken aback. She’d never spoken like that before. “I’m sorry, I—I...”

“I understand...” Xing Hai stood up. “But it doesn’t matter how I spend my money, right?”

“Of course not.” Eve nodded. Xing Hai understood, and amid Eve’s soft gasp, he took her by the hand and led her into a clothing store.

When the two of them first entered, the clerk took in their clothes. Eve’s outfit didn’t have any patches, but it still looked a little worn.

As for Xing Hai, his white robe was neat, but it didn’t look particularly expensive either.

The clerk had already guessed they probably weren’t wealthy customers. Shopping here was expensive, but she still greeted them with a smile, as her job required.

But then Xing Hai did exactly the same thing as before, tossing a bag of gold coins onto the counter.

“Bring out the most expensive and prettiest clothes you have. If this isn’t enough, I’ll pay more.”

“It’s more than enough!” The clerk nodded over and over. This could buy every piece of clothing in the store.

“Xing...” Eve hesitantly tugged at Xing Hai’s white robe. She was happy that he was being so good to her, but this was just...

“You said just now that I could spend my money however I wanted. In that case, choosing to spend it on you is my right, too.” Xing Hai’s voice held not a trace of emotion. “If you won’t accept it, I’ll throw the money away right now.”

“I’ll go try them on...” Eve panicked. She couldn’t hear any emotion in his voice, but she had a faint feeling that Xing Hai wasn’t joking.

She hurriedly picked up one of the princess dresses the clerk had brought over and went into the fitting room...

Half an hour later,

“D-does it look good?” Fully dressed, Eve stood before Xing Hai, a little shy as she asked what he thought.

“Mm.” Xing Hai gave a brief reply. Before, Eve had looked every bit like a child from a poor family. Now, she looked like a princess treasured by the royal family of an entire kingdom. She’d changed completely.

A pale blue hair clip adorned her long golden hair. She wore a pure white Gothic Lolita dress, its hem dotted with a few apricot-yellow bows. Long white stockings came up over her knees, covering Eve’s slender legs, and a pair of light brown ankle boots with heels made her look a little taller.

“Then we’ll take this one.” Xing Hai glanced toward the clerk.

“I’ll pack up the rest for you...”

“No need.” A ring appeared on the ring finger of Xing Hai’s left hand, and all the clothes were sucked into its storage space.

“A spatial ring!” The clerk’s heart pounded. This wasn’t something just anyone could own.

A spatial ring with a capacity of five cubic meters could sell for over ten thousand gold coins. She had no idea how much space the one this customer had could hold.

But judging by how he’d tossed down a bag of gold coins just to buy clothes, it had to hold at least ten or twenty cubic meters, right?

“One outfit is already enough...” Eve tried to say something else.

“You can change into them.” Taking the little girl by the hand, Xing Hai then took her on a shopping spree, sweeping through all kinds of stores.

They kept going until the sun began to set.
