Socially awkward female cultivator survives in the cultivation world through online games

As long as she was still by his side, that was enough. He was already incredibly happy to see her again.

He secretly vowed that he would do everything in his power to make it up to her and give her the best compensation for what happened back then.

Ouyang Qiao glanced at the person beside him from time to time, his eyes full of doting affection. Unfortunately, Chu Yunyi was lost in thought and did not notice Ouyang Qiao's gaze. If she had noticed, she would have felt that familiar strange feeling again.

She was brought back to her senses by a fragrance.

It smells like barbecue; the unique seasonings blend together to create an irresistible temptation.

This made her subconsciously look at the bustling shops around her, her heart filled with curiosity.

She discovered that the area was filled with food shops, and she was tempted by the dazzling array of delicious options.

There are actually places like this in the world of cultivation.

I just don't know if these foods are expensive.

Although she possessed spirit stones, she could not squander them recklessly.

If these foods are all expensive, then she'll have to think it over carefully.

She gently bit her lip, her eyes scanning back and forth between the shops, trying to find some relatively affordable options.

Ouyang Qiao noticed her hesitation and smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, the prices here are reasonable, you won't be unable to afford them."

Hearing this, Chu Yunyi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but she remained vigilant, as many things in the cultivation world are unpredictable.

She slowly walked to a barbecue restaurant that looked rather ordinary and carefully observed the situation inside.

The shop was filled with the aroma of cooking, and the grill sizzled as various ingredients turned golden and crispy under the charcoal fire.

The shop owner greeted customers warmly, and his hearty laughter gave Chu Yunyi a long-lost feeling of the Blue Star Snack Plaza.

She couldn't help but swallow, then turned to ask Ouyang Qiao,

"Is it really not expensive? I don't want to spend all my spirit stones just because I'm craving something."

Chu Yunyi's bright eyes were filled with hope, staring intently at him like dazzling stars.

That expectant gaze seemed to pierce through her heart, like a ray of light in the darkness, desperately hoping that he would utter the reassuring words "not expensive."

"It's not expensive. I've been here before, and the food is really good. You might want to give it a try."

Ouyang Qiao turned his head slightly, his eyes sparkling with a gentle light, his face filled with a doting expression.

This scene was witnessed by Qi Ying, who was standing nearby. She couldn't help but feel a gossipy impulse and secretly speculated about the relationship between the two.

"Really? I'll go check it out!"

Upon hearing that it wasn't expensive, Chu Yunyi felt a joyful flame ignite in her heart, her happiness impossible to conceal.

She immediately took a step, like a joyful little deer, and ran towards a shop that she really liked.

This shop sells barbecued items that look like chicken legs. At first glance, they look exactly like real chicken legs, and their tempting appearance seems to beckon to her, making her mouth water.

She bought one without hesitation. The price was indeed not expensive, costing only one gold coin. However, the meat had no spiritual energy, but it was still very delicious.

As for the others, she paid them no heed at the moment.

She knew that spending money on herself was the only way to make herself feel comfortable, while if they wanted to eat, they could simply buy it themselves.
