Xue Xi bought several spirit fruits from the Virtual Universe Mall that tasted similar to pineapples. In the outside world, each one cost hundreds of billions of Ganwu Coins, but in the Virtual Universe, a single fruit cost only four hundred Ganwu Coins. Of course, these fruits didn't have the same special properties as real spirit fruits.
Since she was making friends, how could she show up without a gift? She activated Chef God Domain, and two freshly squeezed pineapple juice cocktails, mixed to just the right sweetness, appeared in her hands. Smiling, she walked toward Ai Chen, who wore a pristine white feathered robe.
"Hi, Ai Chen. I'm Xue Xi, from the Ganwu Universe Kingdom. How about we go for a stroll together?" As she spoke, she held out the drink in her right hand. Going straight for it was clearly the most effective approach. Even the aloof goddess Ai Chen wasn't all that aloof.
Ai Chen reached out her fair, slender hand and accepted the pineapple juice from Xue Xi. "Thank you. Of course. But, Miss Xue Xi, with so many people here, why did you choose me?" After speaking, she was about to take a sip of the juice to show her appreciation.
Why? Should I tell her I'm actually a sucker for pretty faces? Xue Xi twirled a strand of hair around her index finger. "Well, actually, I'm curious about your race, Ai Chen. I once met members of a race called the Dream Conch Race, who belong to the Human Race, and your race's name sounds a lot like theirs, so I was curious."
Ai Chen took a sip of pineapple juice, about to answer, but suddenly the drink seemed to tease her taste buds, making her drink one mouthful after another as if bewitched.
