Chapter 12 Taking A Stroll (2)

Yuan and the others are making their way to the bazaar, which is situated in the town center. He observed numerous wagons traveling in the direction of the bazaar from the town square. The wagons are laden with products; they likely belong to merchants traveling to the market today from another town.

'This truly is a different world.' Looking at the horses dragging the wagons at full speed, he said under his breath.

Several eyes focused on Yuan as they were making their way to the bazaar. He is a handsome young man who can make a female feel ashamed, so many of the women who were waiting by the roadside focused on him. The majority of them may be compared to the most beautiful people on earth, competing on an equal footing with many movie stars.

"Look! look! Isn't he too handsome?"

"He is really my type!"

"I saw him first bitch! So he is mine!"

"Look at the beauties with him; do you assume he will even take a peek at your ugly ass face?"

"Humph! says the whore who spreads her pussy for every fella like a dog!"

"What did you say, bitch?"

"You women, shout the fuck up! What's so great about having a handsome face? Due to his thin build, I don't think he'll make it through the second round! "a man who found it annoying to listen to their conversations says.

They were conversing informally, but Yuan, his mother, and Emma could hear every word very clearly because they were cultivators, which allowed them to hear far more than a mortal could. They could easily hear their chats, which is not surprising.

Although Yuan was listening in on their conversation, he pretended he hadn't heard anything and continued walking with his mother and sister as usual.

"Fufufu! Darling, it seems like those females are starting to take an interest in you now." He heard the talk of the observers as they walked, and his mother added, moving her face near to his ears, that she felt like taunting her son.

His body slightly shook in excitement as he felt his mother's hot breath reach his ears, but he still manages to settle down his younger brother without embarrassing himself in front of others.

'Damn, she's really good at it; it's too hard to resist for me!' Yuan screamed inside his mind.

"How can he fail to get those women's attention? He is, after all, my handsome younger brother!"

'And soon my husband! ' Lily said in her heart.

"Young Miss is true, and Young Master is too appealing for them to resist!" Emma's acceptance of Lily's assertion Even she finds it extraordinarily difficult to resist the allure of his attractive features; if he insisted on taking her as his wife, she would submit to him with little to no resistance.

"These are just a bunch of worn things that won't grab my attention, and additionally, they are not as gorgeous as you guys are," he said.

'I wonder whether the young master will ever accept an old woman like me.' Looking at Yuan, Emma thought in her heart. Her face turned bright red, and she acted as if she were a young girl experiencing her first true love.

"hmm?" Grace, who was walking alongside Yuan, observed Emma's behavior. Observing Emma's burning face, Grace thought and chuckled a little. 'fufufu... It appears that Emma and my darling have become romantically involved!'

After 15 minutes of continuous walking, they finally arrived at the bazaar's entrance.

"This is a lot bigger than I first anticipated!" Yuan remarked in a voice of astonishment that he had initially believed the bazaar would be rather modest given the town's size and age, but that he had been mistaken; the bazaar is significantly larger and busy with people of all ages.

"Even though this town is small and in danger of going out of business, on this day a large number of traders would come together to offer their wares; as far as anybody could recall, this bazaar is one of the oldest bazaars that has ever been in this kingdom. In addition, this bazaar is the sole thing sustaining our town at this time; without it, our town would have long since perished." Grace explains to them the significance of the bazaar to the town.

Yuan had to agree with his mother's assessment because he had already seen with his own eyes how poor the town's current state is. This town's defensive wall, which formerly kept monsters out, now has numerous, enormous cracks all over it. The defenses won't be able to defend this town against armies of strong magic monsters for even an hour till reinforcements arrive.

"Now leaving that aside, we should head inside the bazaar and stroll around a bit, what do you say?"

"Well, let's follow your instructions; I'm a little curious to see how much the interior has altered after so much time," Grace spoke while giving Yuan a head nod.

"I'm also rather eager to explore the area. Let's just end this pointless conversation now!" Lily exclaimed enthusiastically, and Emma nodded.

They didn't waste any time and all went into the bazaar. Yuan noticed that many different small food stands have opened up, offering a variety of street foods like grilled meats, seafood, and various kinds of bread. Some of the stands are crowded with people.

His eyes landed on one particular food stand out of the numerous he was browsing, where they were selling grilled octopus legs that had a mouthwatering aroma.

"Here, you guys wait. I'm going to pick up something to eat while we explore." After saying this, he immediately walked over to the tiny stall that is selling what appears to be deliciously grilled octopus legs.

"Hello, dear customer! What are your preferences? Octopus legs, squid, grilled clams, and squid are also on the menu." As he described what he might give, the stall owner inquired.

"Four legs of grilled octopus please. The cost is..."

"10 copper each, good sir!"

He then gave the stall owner 40 copper coins and took the four grilled octopus legs. He then went right back to his mother and sisters.

"What have you bought?" Curious, Lily enquired while inhaling the aroma of fried octopus legs.

"I have bought grilled octopus legs. Here, take one; here is one for mom; and this one is for sister Emma." Yuan responded as he handed over the three other octopus legs to them.

"From the aroma alone, this appears to be very delicious!" Grace commented as she sniffed the grilled leg before biting into it.

"Mmm, it's remarkably delicious; you guys should try it too!" Grace said after taking a bite.

"This is really good; you do have an eye for food, little Yuan!"

"I merely bought them because they looked delicious; I hadn't anticipated this outcome!" Yuan uttered, Actually, the real cause of this was that he used to consume this every Sunday at noon when he still lived on Earth.

While strolling through the bazaar, they enjoyed the grilled octopus legs. They peered into a number of shops, but nothing drew their attention.

The majority of the stores sold common spellbooks and wands for mages, along with some low-level offensive and defensive spells, but the majority of common people couldn't afford to buy them. The cost is incredibly hefty despite the spells' low level. Magical objects having different functions, such as magic armour, dimensional pouches that can contain a lot of items (akin to a cultivator's storage ring), and jewellery like rings and earrings are also quite expensive.

After perusing a number of shops, they were unable to find a single item they were searching for because the majority of them only sold items for mages and magic knights, neither of whom they were cultivators who were unable to wield magic.

After exploring the bazaar, they stumble onto a sizable restaurant. It was not particularly busy, and the smells of food emanating from within was enticing.

"Well, it's bringing back some old memories; I didn't think this restaurant would still be around. I used to visit this restaurant once a day, seven days a week because the food was so extremely good and reasonably priced." Looking around the establishment, Grace recalled that she used to come here for lunch once a week when she was in excellent health. Her old recollections are brought back to life as she observes the restaurant still standing after all these years.

"Why don't we enter and eat our lunch here for today?" Yuan instantly requested after observing his mother's excitement in this restaurant.

"It would be a fantastic experience, little brother, to experience some of mom's favorite dishes at this restaurant." said Lily.

"Indeed, Young Master!" Emma responded.

"What are we holding out for, let's enter!" When Grace spoke, it seemed as though she had been waiting a long time to try her favourite meal.

Yuan and the others could only shake their heads at her childish behaviour before following her.

As they entered the restaurant, they spotted a table that was currently open and hurried over to claim it before anyone else could arrive.

Grace placed her order for some of her old favourites when the waiter approached them shortly after. Since everyone wanted to eat the same food as Grace, they didn't order anything else.

Many individuals are staring at Yuan's group, and more women than men are doing so. They are clearly staring at Yuan because they regard him to be quite attractive and are drawn to him.

"Darling, look at all the ladies that are interested in you, some of whom are quite attractive!" Grace spoke while grinning briefly on her icy face.

They may be beautiful, but Mom, they're not as beautiful as you!" In response to his mother's comment, Yuan shook his head.

"Ohh, is this supposed to be a compliment... Or perhaps a proposal?" Grade asked raising her eyebrows at him slightly blushing at his word.

"Both!"

"Didn't regret it later then...!" Grace said as her face turned bright red.

''Huh?... Did.. Did she accept? I was merely trying to tease her... She really accepted it!' Yuan wailed inside his head after listening to his mother's response.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "Damn it! Grace, are you insane? Remember, we are mother and son; we cannot have such a relationship with Yuan; he is our son!" Anna screamed inside Grace's head, her face flushed.

"Oh, shut up, will you? There are many high-ranking aristocratic mage households that have partnerships like this in order to maintain their bloodline's purity, and we both know how much we admire him as a man. What if, now that we are cultivators, we follow suit? We're not exactly breaching any imperial rules here, at all." Grace answered Anna. When Yuan was young, Anna, like Grace, took care of him as a man. At the time, she loved him as a son, but for some reason, her maternal love tuned into something else.

"what! Mom! Are you for real? Is this not wrong?" While Lily listened to her mother's comments, she questioned them with amazement. Emma kept quiet because it happened frequently in her snake-Beastman tribe back home, so she wasn't really surprised.

"I am dead serious!" Grace answers, demonstrating a serious expression on her face.

'This is true; I'm not dreaming!'Yuan pondered.

Yuan and his family members are conversing joyfully with one another. Suddenly, a young man and two other people walk up to their table.

"Pardon me for my intrusion, fair lady. But may I have the honor of knowing your name? For I believe a name as exquisite as yours must be accompanied by an equally captivating persona."
