So Seele brought over a plate of cut fruit, about three or four kinds. There was no other way, since there were only two of them eating, and cutting too much would be a waste.

"What is Ling Xi thinking about? She seems so focused."

As she spoke, Seele sat down next to Ling Xi and began feeding Ling Xi fruit.

"Eh? Uh... nothing, just thinking about Herrscher."

Ling Xi smiled casually at Seele, clearly indicating that Ling Xi did not intend to tell Seele about this.

"Oh..."

Seele didn't think much of it and nodded, then said, seemingly a little unhappy, "Ling Xi seems to be very busy lately and doesn't pay much attention to me. It was better when the Herrscher of Ice appeared; Ling Xi spent every day with me."

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only smile and say, "I'm sorry, Seele, because the Herrscher of Ice was just defeated, there have been a lot of things going on lately, especially for Mobius, who is almost going crazy with work."

While explaining, Ling Xi changed the subject. However, it was true that Mobius had been very busy lately. After all, both the core and the corpse of the Herrscher of Ice were high-quality research materials. How could Mobius not study them?

So, compared to before the Herrscher of Ice was destroyed, Mobius is actually busier now.

"Ugh, is that all?"

Seeing that Ling Xi had said that, Seele didn't bother to refute him properly, but she still felt that Ling Xi wasn't telling the truth, because she could tell that Ling Xi definitely had something on his mind!

This feeling was just like back in Changkong City, when Ling Xi tried every means to trick him into coming to the Mu Continent Changkong City, but didn't tell him the reason!

After all, Seele isn't stupid. She just wanted to appear obedient to Ling Xi because of what happened in Changkong City, but that doesn't mean she's a naive and innocent girl.

"That's it, what else can we do?"

Ling Xi couldn't help but rub Seele's head and laughed, "What are you thinking about all day? Have you finished your homework?"

Seele: "..." Let's not talk about homework, we can still be good friends.

"Then, Ling Xi..."

Seele directly grasped Ling Xi's hand that was resting on her head and smiled, "How about we play tomorrow?"

"Yes, that's fine."

Ling Xi nodded immediately. There was no way he could refuse Seele. After all, he had wanted to take her out for a walk a few days ago, but the heavy snow caused by the Herrscher of Ice made it impossible to go out. And now...

After two days, the snow in the city had mostly melted, and the city gradually returned to its lively state.

The next day, Ling Xi took Seele out for a road trip. However, since Ying had already taken her car, she could only drive the only remaining pink car in the house, which was Elysia's car!

The two of them went to the commercial street again, which was the most bustling place, and they also planned to buy some things first.

To celebrate humanity's great victory over the Herrscher of Ice, most stores have launched discount promotions. Although the store owners will definitely not lose money in the end, it is still a good deal for consumers.

"Ling Xi, look, this mall is having a 50% off sale! Shall we go in and take a look?"

Among them, Seele is particularly sensitive to discounts. Although she has never lacked money since following Ling Xi, however...

Why spend more money when you can buy something for less?

"Okay, let's go."

Seele wanted to go, and Ling Xi couldn't refuse, so she took Seele's hand and went inside.

The items in the mall were indeed discounted, but of course, there were purchase limits to prevent scalpers. Ling Xi saw some electronic products on sale, but unfortunately, if she and Seele hadn't just recently replaced their phones, they might have bought one too.

Next was the clothing section. Like Elysia, Seele was very interested in pretty clothes, but Seele didn't buy anything this time, mainly because she already had most of them at home. She just wanted to buy something new and interesting.

"Is this... a gemstone?"

A short while later, the two arrived at the jewelry section, which sold almost all kinds of jewelry, such as necklaces, bracelets, hair clips, etc. Basically, any jewelry for women could be found there, including some high-end items.

"Probably."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "It's unlikely that there will be counterfeit goods in a place like this. After all, the laws of the Mu Continent are not to be trifled with."

"Wow, that's so expensive..."

After checking the price, Seele knew that she could only look at it and admire it from afar, because this thing was ridiculously expensive.

"Do you like Seele?"

Seeing that Seele seemed somewhat interested, Ling Xi also asked curiously.

"The sparkle does look nice, but..."

Seele shook her head and laughed, "I don't think it's worth the price. Wouldn't it be better to use that money to buy two high-end phones? Wouldn't that be much more practical?"

"Heh, Seele, you can't say that."

Ling Xi shook her head and smiled, "The value of these things lies not in their intrinsic value, but in the added value they bring. For example, when a boss is negotiating a deal, he might inadvertently show off his Rolex on his wrist. Instantly, the other party will understand his identity and value, which can save a lot of trouble!"

"Therefore, the real value of these things lies not in the things themselves, but in the people who use them."

"Oh..."

Seele nodded as if she understood, then continued to hold Ling Xi and slowly walk forward.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Seele saw a hair clip made of gray-gold material, except... it seemed to have a red gemstone inlaid in the center, and was decorated with butterflies made of black fabric around it.

Seele immediately fell in love with it because... the black butterfly paired with the red gem looked really amazing.

"Seele?"

Ling Xi naturally noticed Seele's gaze and followed it, seeing the butterfly hair clip. It was made of gray-gold material, with red gemstones and black butterflies. Why did it look so familiar?

Hmm? This is...

Suddenly, Ling Xi seemed to remember something, recalling the original artwork of Milkshake... Damn...

Yes, the hair clip Milkshake is wearing looks like this! Oh my god, no way, is it really such a coincidence? (Milkshake is wearing it to avoid being ganked.)

Chapter 325: Seele is the cutest wife in the world!

The moment Ling Xi saw the ruby hair clip, she was speechless. It was so incredibly similar to the one on Milkshake's head—it was practically identical.

Is it possible that this isn't just a resemblance, but that it actually is?

"Seele, do you want her?"

Ling Xi shook her head, temporarily setting aside the question of whether it resembled her or not, because regardless of whether it resembled her or not, at this moment, Seele was her own Seele!

"Ugh... never mind, it's too expensive..."

Seele hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. Although she had indeed fallen in love with the hair clip at first sight, upon seeing the price, Seele instantly realized that it wasn't for her...

"Actually, it's not that expensive."

Ling Xi smiled, then looked at the description and said, "This is a very precious ruby, and it's not an industrial product, but a one-of-a-kind piece in the world. Whether considering its intrinsic value or its collectible value, the price is actually not expensive!"

"Eh..."

Seele paused, unsure of what to say. Is this... the life of a rich man?

"Hello, please help me pack it up."

Before Seele could answer, Ling Xi had already signaled the waiter to pack it up. It was rare for Seele to like something, so Ling Xi had to buy it.

"Eh... Ling Xi ..."

Seele seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just sighed and looked at Ling Xi with some helplessness. However... this was just a facade. In her heart, she was naturally extremely happy.

Because these items are paid for directly here, Ling Xi quickly paid and bought them all. Finally...

"Here, Seele, your gift..."

Ling Xi handed the hair clip, which was in a gift box, to Seele and said with a smile, "We've known each other for almost a year, but I haven't given you any decent gifts. So... beautiful little angel Seele, I wonder if this gift can earn your forgiveness?"

"So expensive..."

Seele pursed her lips, then decisively took the gift from Ling Xi's hand, gently resting her head against Ling Xi's chest, and whispered, "Thank you..."

"Hehe, I bought a gift for my girlfriend, why are you thanking me?"

Ling Xi gently patted Seele's head and asked softly, "Do you want me to help you put it on?"

"Um..."

Seele didn't refuse, silently holding the gift box in her hands, then lowering her head slightly.

Ling Xi gently unwrapped the gift box she had just prepared, took out the ruby butterfly hair clip, and gently put it on Seele's head, naturally choosing the right side of Seele's hair!

"Seele ..."

After putting it on Seele, Ling Xi carefully examined Seele in front of her. Well, this is Seele, except for the clothes, she is almost exactly the same!

And the hair clip on her head is Miss Nai Xi's soul accessory, with an effect comparable to the finishing touch on a painting!

Is it pretty?

Seeing Ling Xi staring intently at her, Seele deliberately asked with a smile.

"Oh..."

Ling Xi smiled, then put his hands on Seele's shoulders and said in a loud and righteous voice, "Seele... is the cutest in the world!"

This shout immediately attracted the attention of many people around, who all turned to look at the two of them.

"Idiot... you idiot, don't shout like that!"

Seele was also startled, and seeing the stares of the passersby, she felt even more embarrassed and quickly pulled Ling Xi away...

"Hehe..."

Seeing Seele's anxious look, Ling Xi couldn't help but laugh. Eating, sleeping, and teasing Seele are the three great joys of life!

"Are you still laughing?"

Seeing that Ling Xi could still laugh, Seele stomped her foot angrily, wishing she could slap him to wake him up.

"Hehe, okay, Seele, don't be angry..."

Ling Xi gently hugged Seele and smiled, "What I just said was the truth. In my eyes, Seele is the cutest person in the world."

"Snort."

Seele still pouted, looking annoyed, and snorted, "You probably said that to the Doctor, to Elysia, and to Sakura, right?"

No, absolutely not!

As soon as Seele said that, Ling Xi also said very decisively, "I've only said that to Seele, because... Seele is the cutest person in the world."

"Snort..."

Seele still snorted, but a happy smile appeared on her lips. After all... who doesn't like compliments?

"Seele ..."

Ling Xi gently pulled Seele's hand and Ling Xi Seele into his arms.

"Um... what... are you planning to do now?"

When Ling Xi suddenly pulled her like that, Seele was a little nervous. Of course, it was impossible for her to resist, she could never resist in this lifetime. Having spent so much time with Ling Xi, Seele's body had long been... cough cough, she was already used to it!

"It's nothing, let's go."

Ling Xi originally wanted to tease Seele a little more, like giving her a kiss or something, but...

If you get recognized, it will be quite troublesome, so it's best to keep a low profile as much as possible!

After all, the Space Gem is still with the Doctor. If they get surrounded by onlookers, it'll be hard to escape. So...

Let's keep a low profile and we can tease Seele later when we get back.

"Oh..."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Seele's eyes, but she didn't ask any more questions and obediently let Ling Xi lead her forward.

Afterwards, the two strolled around the mall, bought some snacks and other treats, and then prepared to go up the mountain to see the snow scenery.

After all, the Herrscher of Ice was only eliminated two days ago, but the snow has not completely melted. The snow in the city is almost gone, but the mountains are still covered in white snow!

"Wow, it's so high!"

Of course, after the two drove to the highest mountain in the vicinity, Seele was also excited to look at the city below. Apart from when she was on a plane, this was the first time she had been to such a high place.
