Going down to the entrance of the tower, Wu Xiaotian turns into the center of attention not only to the ladies but also to the men, most of them eyeing him with envy and hostility, while some of them taking a double look just to confirm whether what they just saw is real or not.Given the fact that he's currently wearing the clothes that his mother conjured for him previously, he's really bound to attract some attention, and that's not even considering multiple things that made him extremely attractive, his exceptional build, standing at an extremely tall height and not looking a single bit weird, attributed to him possessing a build that seems to be created by a divine sculptor, each part of his masculine body appearing as if they are carved to perfection, in addition to those things is the lady-killer face as well as the immortal-like demeanor, all of this blending perfectly to create something that makes heads turn two-hundred percent of the time.

As the men around the plaza outside the tower thought that they can no longer be more envious of this young man, another slap of reality comes rushing towards their face once they see an empress-like beauty rushing towards the young man, smiling brilliantly as she stands in front of him, the appearance of this beauty making the ladies appear hostile towards her.

As the crowd observes the two though, they seem to enter their own world as there's nothing other than the existence of the person in front of them registers in their minds, stunned as they look at each other, Wu Xiaotian appreciating Hua Xian'er greatly as he scans her current choice of clothing.

Wearing a pure white sundress, the empress-like lady appears even more beautiful than usual, her feminine charms elevated by her attire, the smile on her face making her look like a maiden eagerly waiting for this moment to come, her eyes practically sparkling from the mixture of excitement and nervousness.

"Did I made you wait for long?" Hua Xian'er asked while spinning around, her current actions completely different from her usual one, each of her movements appearing to be elegant and refined.

Looking at the current Hua Xian'er exploding with this sort of attractiveness, Wu Xiaotian couldn't help but receive a critical hit in his heart.

"You look great big sis" he said while trying to calm himself from the impact that the empress-like lady just made in him.

"Am I? Thank you, Brother Su" Hua Xian'er, receiving such praise, couldn't help but smile bright, giggling for a bit before she reaches out to hold Wu Xiaotian's hand, her actions appearing to be extremely natural.

"So, what are your plans?" she asked while they start walking away from the plaza, treading the wide road towards the other parts of the city.

"Let's just roam around here and there big sis" Wu Xiaotian replied as he walks forward to take the lead, using some of the general knowledge he got from reading in the tower's library to navigate across the city and moving towards its commerce district, searching for those famous places so that they can enjoy their time together.

Roaming around the city, Wu Xiaotian couldn't help but appreciate the bustling life within it.

The crowd walking along the well-lit roads and streets going here and there, each of them seemingly feeling secure and protected from all sort of danger in the way, a feeling that they mainly get from the Heavenly Secret Tower being the faction ruling this place, a power known for its good nature, proven time and time again just by the sheer amount of effort they're doing to help in improving geniuses of the continent, one such example being the Golden Spirit Pool they are about to open the succeeding month.

From towering and grand structures to small stalls on the sidewalk, the commerce district of the city is just brimming with life, the potential customers roaming around getting their attentions piqued not only by the large shops but also by the roadside stalls as well, each of the goods differing in variety, hence one can say that it is worth their time going towards the small shops as well.

"Ah, there we are…" as they move along the way, they eventually end up where Wu Xiaotian wants them to go, a clean, simple looking restaurant with its building appearing not too grand in comparison to the more famous shops in the commerce district, yet something just seemingly pulls almost all of the passerby's eyes towards this normal-looking restaurant.

"Are you sure you want to eat there?" Hua Xian'er, while looking in worry as she read the name of the shop, asked, in doubt whether the immortal-like young man in front of her is really sure of his decision.

"I heard it's a bit expensive, but I got all that spirit stone during all that time we're refining pills in the Thousand Roads City… Hm? Is there problem big sis?" as he walks towards the entrance of the restaurant, Wu Xiaotian paused as he noticed the worried and troubled looks on Hua Xian'er's face, asking her to know if there's something he need to know about this restaurant.

"There's no problem at all, it's just that… well, let's say that the owner of the place is a bit… peculiar" the empress-like lady explained, the look on her face once she said her words as if she's leaving the decision to the young man in front of her.

"What kind of peculiar?" Wu Xiaotian asked in curiosity, deciding to pull off this place if it is 'that' kind of peculiar.

"Well, he's normal most of the time, but whenever he sees something, he will walk towards that something, it doesn't matter if it is living or not, and then he will say some sort of obscure things towards them" the lady explained, staring at a window showing the interior of the place, an old man cleaning something behind the counter, his expressions positive and benign.

"Isn't it interesting then?" Wu Xiaotian smiles after this, taking interest to just what kind of person is the owner of this place, deciding to enter inside and take a look at him for himself.

"Yeah yeah, he's a really great old man, the only thing bothering me about him is the fact that he always told me that…" as she remembers the predictions that the owner of this place is always telling about her whenever she and her family go here to eat, Hua Xian'er couldn't help but get petrified for a moment, staring at Wu Xiaotian as if she saw something impossible, staring at him as he opens the door for her, the thoughts in her mind making her steps towards the place to slow down.

"Hmm?? Oh, little princess of the tower, what brings you to my humble place?" the old man behind the counter inside, seeing a familiar face, smiles amiably as he starts preparing something, taking out glasses and platter, his expressions and movements while doing so as if he's completely immersed in whatever he does.

"You bring another guest? Hoh…" while looking at the young man appearing beside the empress-like lady, the old man smiles as he looks at the lady with a smile on his face.
