Another World: The Failed Magician

Looking at the bustling small county town before him, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh. After taking several detours, he had finally arrived at Qinghua County.

Li Mengyu, standing to the side, couldn't help but smile, but due to her social anxiety, she kept subtly gesturing to Lu Xuan to go first.

Lu Xuan walked casually into the bustling little county town, seemingly unconcerned, with Li Mengyu following closely behind.

As soon as Lu Xuan entered Qinghua County, he saw countless vendors, their shouts echoing through the streets. Li Mengyu, drawn by the sounds, mustered her courage and cautiously approached the stalls, observing the goods they sold. When she found something she wanted, she would give Lu Xuan money to buy it for her. After buying quite a few items, she simply handed Lu Xuan her spatial ring, asking him to store the goods inside.

Li Mengyu could tell from her excited eyes that she was full of energy, while Lu Xuan's eyes looked somewhat listless and he seemed dispirited.

Along the way, he bought countless things, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh that it was fortunate that such a thing as a spatial ring existed in this world. He was grateful to the magicians who created spatial rings back then.

Time flies. The two arrived in Qinghua County early in the morning, and while they were shopping with Li Mengyu, it was already noon.

Led by Lu Xuan, the two entered an ordinary restaurant, ordered some dishes, and then found a corner to sit down.

Lu Xuan returned the storage ring containing the goods to Li Mengyu, who happily examined it.

Lu Xuan picked up the free tea from the side, poured himself a cup, and slowly drank it.

While Li Mengyu was happy, she suddenly remembered the purpose of their outing. With a hint of apology, she said to Lu Xuan, who was drinking tea, "Mr. Lu, I'm so sorry (＞﹏＜). I was just having fun when I saw those things, and I made you waste your time. I'm really sorry."

Lu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Miss Li, there's no need to blame yourself. Haste makes waste. Some things should just be left to their own devices. Besides, even without Miss Li, I would have liked to come and see Qinghua County myself."

"Really?" Li Mengyu asked happily.

“Mm,” Lu Xuan replied.

Just as Li Mengyu was about to say something, the waiter came over with the food that Lu Xuan had just ordered.

Lu Xuan spoke first, saying, "Miss Li, let's eat first. We still need to go see the Azure Phoenix Flower later, and we can't be without energy then."

"Okay!" Li Mengyu responded in her cheerful voice.

After the food was served, the two of them started eating.

Lu Xuan watched Li Mengyu's adorable eating posture, which resembled a cute little hamster eating, and couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, his thoughts drifting far away.

At this moment, Li Mengyu, who was eating, noticed Lu Xuan's gaze and asked with some confusion, "Mr. Lu, is something the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Mengyu's clear voice interrupted Lu Xuan, who was lost in thought. After he came to his senses, Lu Xuan immediately replied, "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered some things and got lost in thought. I'm sorry to have worried Miss Li."

"It's alright." After saying that, Li Mengyu resumed eating.
