"Are you okay?" Jin Rou broke the silence between him and Zin Shi. He could feel that her body was trembling a bit as if she was scared.

"Ahh?" Zin Shi\'s heart jumped in fright. However, she immediately calmed herself down, "I am f-fine... you don\'t have to worry, Youngmaster Jin."

"Your heart beats abnormally. You\'re scared." Jin Rou, as someone who can understand emotions except love, he could pretty tell that Zin Shi was scared. It was probably what happened, "Did I scare you? I\'m sorry."

Zin Shi\'s body shook the moment she heard those words filled with sincerity. Her mind went blank for a moment and all emotions she felt settled down for some reason. She could feel she was no longer afraid of Jin Rou as if she never had been, to begin with!

She shook her head gently and smiled, "Mhmm. It\'s okay. Maybe I did not expect you to have that kind of side."

This was true. Zin Shi had always thought that Jin Rou was such a good man who could not be angered. But all her impressions of him were broke when Jin Rou revealed such a character. Although she knew that he did not kill anyone, she could feel that Jin Rou was someone who was cold-blooded. Cold-blooded enough when it came to his enemies, can kill them without batting an eye, without a moment of hesitation. It was like that character was deeply ingrained into his blood.

Because of this, her curiosity for Jin Rou raised a bar higher. Just the power he showed in the shop was more than enough for her to understood that this man was an Immortal Emperor! A young Immortal Emperor at that! As many people saw Jin Rou, she was sure that the news that a young Immortal Emperor had emerged on the land would be a trending topic. Certain as she was, that would be a hot topic and many experts, even Immortal Emperors secluding from this mundane world, would personally want to meet him.

Just think about it, a man in his 20s was already an Immortal Emperor! The youngest Immortal Emperor that was recorded in the history of Grivexia was Immortal Emperor Fei Fei! A genius of all eons, someone who was dubbed as the strongest Immortal Emperor of Grivexia in her generation! She became an Immortal Emperor at the age of 31! Terrifying, isn\'t it?

However, Immortal Emperor Fei Fei just vanished into the thin air as if a bubble popping out. There were rumors that claimed that she already ascended into the higher worlds to temper herself. But as a rumor, as it was, no one had the evidence that she really ascended. And this being was the dream of Zin Shi to become. She only wished to get at least ten percent of Immortal Emperor Fei\'s talent. But as unlucky as she was, she knew it was impossible. She knew she was not blessed as her and did not even get a percent of Immortal Emperor Fei\'s talent, so she knew she could only try her hardest. Yes... she can only try.

But little did she know, she was way a greater being compared to that Immortal Emperor. And only Jin Rou knew this. If the branch Shi Clan of Grivexia had discovered this, it was more than given that they won\'t let Zin Shi be exiled in the clan.

"I see." Jin Rou just smiled as he felt that Zin Shi\'s turbulent emotions finally calmed down. He added, "How about we look for some items in the Hawkers\' Street? Maybe we can find some good items there."

"Do you need anything, Youngmaster?" Zin Shi asked with confusion.

"Actually, I want to buy something for you." Jin Rou answered, giving off a gentle and comfortable vibe.

"For me?" Zin Shi\'s heart fluttered as she stuttered, "I-I-I really don\'t need anything at all. Y-yes."

"But I still want to buy something for you. Lead the way." Jin Rou did not give her an option and said.

Zin Shi wasn\'t able to refute any longer as she could see the sincerity in Jin Rou\'s eyes.

Hawkers\' Street. This street was like a wet market as stalls were lining up left and right. The street was so bustling as many people were gathering in each stall, choosing and thinking of what to buy.

"For sale! Alumina Oil\'s priced decreased by ten percent! Hurry and buy a bottle of it before it sold out!"

"Silver Fruits, true ones, finally on sale in my stall! Come and take a pick to give you all an assurance! The fruits are also sold for a very low and affordable price!"

Many hawkers like them were shouting at the top of their lungs, trying to endorse and advertise their goods in an enticing way. They were also introducing discounts to tempt those customers to buy more. After all, in a world where money still mattered, who would not want a real item at a discounted price?

Jin Rou and Zin Shi roamed the street for almost an hour. However, Zin Shi could not decide what to choose as there were a lot of items in a queue. But she only wanted a single item since she could not burden Jin Rou too much. So she was trying to choose a single yet best item here. Of course, she knew it should be within the limit of Jin Rou\'s money. Besides, Jin Rou seemed like he really wanted something better for her as he kept saying to look elsewhere if there\'s something better.

"This Youngmaster and Young Miss here..." When Zin Shi was troubled choosing of what to choose, a bald guy in a merchant uniform, came over to them and called them out, "Are you looking for premium yet affordable goods here in Hawkers\' Street?"

"Yes, we are." Jin Rou said. Truth be told, those things that Zin Shi chose a while ago were all just imitations, so he kept saying to look elsewhere if there was something better. Although there were real items in some stalls in the said street, the fake items covered them as if the vendors were not planning to sell those. Of course, there were some honest stalls which really sell legit items and artifacts. In fact, there were items that could make someone breakthrough!

"Perfect! I know where you can see premium goods at an affordable price! And this shop is kinda secluded here and only a few of few knew this. Of course, there was no free lunch, my information is for sale." The merchant said as he played with his fingers.
