"Delicious!"
The Ice Empress took a satisfied bite of the candied hawthorn skewer in her hand and spoke earnestly, the dismissive look she had given Xiao Bai earlier completely gone.
At that moment, she could finally understand how Xiao Bai had felt. This little dessert might not have looked particularly impressive, but it was actually delicious.
"Om nom."
As the first to take an interest in this food, Xiao Bai was equally happy, enjoyment written all over her petite face.
"As long as you like it."
A thoughtful look crossed Chu Ge's face as he quietly committed their fondness for candied hawthorn skewers to memory. After all, there weren't many foods on the Douluo Continent cheaper than those.
And, honestly...
I somehow feel like a creepy old man.
At that thought, helplessness washed over Chu Ge's face.
The three of them clearly belonged to the same tier of strength, yet with the Ice Empress and Xiao Bai looking so adorable, he somehow felt as though he looked like a bad person.
Wasn't he actually the youngest of them?
"Thank you, Chu Ge."
"Let's go."
Holding her candied hawthorn skewer in one hand, the Ice Empress grabbed Chu Ge with the other and spoke with a cheerful hum.
Chu Ge really is a good person.
As for why she had taken his hand, the reason was simple: she had just seen a young couple doing exactly that.
Since she had come to the human world and was spending time with Chu Ge, naturally, she should do as the locals did. Holding hands was just holding hands.
"This..."
Unaware of the Ice Empress's whimsical thoughts, Chu Ge was caught completely off guard by her actions. The Ice Empress had... just taken his hand like that?
*Perhaps she doesn't think there's anything special
