Chapter 17 Shopping Tour
Days passed like this, with no attacks from evil spirit masters and no sea spirit beasts surrounding the ship. Except for Chen Yan having to cook hard every day, everything was so beautiful.

Until a broadcast came.

Chen Yan, who was holding a spatula at this moment, felt like crying. He had never expected that since he cooked a meal that day, Gu Yuena had been relying on him. From that day on, he never went to the lobby to eat again, just like when he was in college, when he felt the convenience of take-out, he never went to the cafeteria again.

"Xiao Yan, you don't want me to get sick because of poor eating and sleeping, do you?"

Whenever Chen Yan thought of what Gu Yuena said, he felt it was absurd, and then he gritted his teeth stubbornly and said - OK, very good, you have picked a weak spot!

Although cooking is something that you learn to cook, why do I always feel like I'm losing out?

Chen Yan fell into deep thought.

"Xiaoyan, is the meal ready?"

Chen Yan sighed and responded, "I'll be ready soon. Go wash your hands and prepare for dinner. It's almost time to get off the boat after dinner!"

Gu Yuena jumped lightly and said happily: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

Chen Yan looked at Gu Yuena's cheerful back and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had never thought that he would fall into such a situation. You know, a month ago, he was still a rich man who had everything he wanted, but now, he not only became a chef, but also provided free service.

Chen Yan continued to work. Although cooking only required mastering the method, he tried his best to make every dish the best. After all, Gu Yuena really looked forward to his cooking every time, and he also hoped that his efforts would make her happy.

After a while, Chen Yan brought several dishes to the table. Gu Yuena was already sitting at the table, looking at the table full of delicacies, her eyes sparkling with joy.

"These dishes look delicious!" Gu Yuena praised happily.

Chen Yan smiled and said, "I've been eating it for a month. I've tried almost every way to eat it. What else is good?"

Gu Yuena pouted in dissatisfaction.

Chen Yan ignored her expression and thought silently in his heart while placing the last dish. His cooking skills are indeed getting better and better. Every dish is delicious and tasty, which makes people's appetite increase. It will be no problem for him to be a chef in the future.

"Where are we going to play after we get to Xingluo?"

After having enough water and food, Gu Yuena tilted her head and asked. This trip was arranged by Chen Yan, and she didn't ask about it. Now that they were about to reach their destination, Gu Yuena was a little curious.

"This time, let's go around the capital first, and then travel around the mainland."

"Let's go to the capital first?" Although Gu Yuena did not ask Chen Ran, she still looked up relevant information about Xingluo.

She knew the capital. The capital of Xingluo Empire was called Xingluo City. It was the political, economic and cultural center of the entire empire, with a long history and rich cultural heritage. There were many famous attractions in the city, such as the imperial palace, large shopping malls, historical museums and picturesque parks.

Chen Yan looked at Gu Yuena's eyes and knew that she already knew something about Xingluo, so he nodded and explained, "Yes, let's go to Xingluo City first. There are many places that interest us there, such as the historic royal library and the large palace complex that is said to reflect the wisdom and aesthetics of the Xingluo people. I think you will be impressed by those exquisite buildings and sculptures."

Gu Yuena's eyes flashed with anticipation: "It sounds great, and I heard that Xingluo's handicrafts are very exquisite. How about we buy some to take back as souvenirs?"

Chen Yan was stunned, but he still agreed with her: "Of course, there is no problem. Xingluo's handicrafts, especially those traditional crafts from the mainland, are still preserved today. They are indeed very distinctive. There are also many unique local delicacies. We can also try them."

Gu Yuena nodded with a smile on her face, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Da da da-"

Chen Yan and Gu Yuena stepped off the boat and onto the land of Xingluo. What greeted them was the bustling hustle and bustle and unique exotic customs.

This is a city built on the port, and it is also the second largest city in Xingluo. Its gate is tall and magnificent, with the symbol of Xingluo Empire carved on it, showing the glory and strength of this country. The streets in the city are spacious and clean, with various shops and lively markets on both sides. The vendors shout and attract pedestrians to stop and watch.

Cities that rely on ports always have extremely excellent commerce and service industries.

Gu Yuena was bewitched. She turned her head to look at Chen Yan and chuckled, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Um... let's go to Xingluo City and come back to play first." Chen Yan was a little anxious at this moment. A treasure was right in front of him. How could he not be anxious?

Gu Yuena: I know you are in a hurry, but don’t be in a hurry, let’s go shopping first.

Then Chen Yan was dragged into the bustling market by Gu Yuena, who seemed to be curious about everything here. She looked at the various goods displayed by the vendors on the stalls, and from time to time she picked up an item to observe carefully and asked Chen Yan about it. Chen Yan patiently explained the origin and purpose of each item.

During this period, she bought two sets of tea sets, a rosewood cabinet, and a hairpin.

They walked among the crowd, and passers-by cast astonished glances at them from time to time.

What a perfect pair!
"Should I buy you some?"

Chen Yan looked at the girl in front of him whose personality was constantly collapsing and sighed in his heart.

To be honest, for quite a while after we first met, she seldom smiled, and she was truly a three-nothing girl. Now, she is more energetic than people her age, and Chen Yan can be said to be deeply touched.

After thinking about it, Chen Yan came to his senses and shook his head: "I don't need to buy anything, just buy it."

Gu Yuena's smile widened when she heard this. She blushed and gently hugged Chen Yan's arm, pretending to be indifferent and said, "The driver is waiting for us, let's go."

　Gu Yuena: That seems to be what is written in the book! Hugging him is the arm! (Definitely JPG.)
