"Don't think too much about it, you'll only give yourself a headache," Xiao Hua suddenly said to Luo Li, almost as though she could read her mind. "Brother Yuan is a prodigy that appears once every few generations. You won't understand his talent with ordinary logic."

"Is…Is that so…?" Luo Li decided to take Xiao Hua's advice and stopped thinking about it.

Sometime later, Yuan said, "By the way, I would like to take a look around this city if you don't mind."

"Of course not! Let me speak with my father first, then I will guide you around the city!" Luo Li quickly said.

Yuan nodded, and Luo Li left the room shortly later.

Once Luo Li was gone, Yuan looked around the room with curiosity, as this is his first time being inside such a unique room, and that is when he noticed the tall mirror sitting at the corner of the room.

"Oh? A mirror?" Yuan immediately stood up and walked to the mirror with his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness. What does he look like in this world? Is he really as handsome as Luo Li described him?

"This is me…?"

Yuan stood before the mirror that was slightly taller than his head with a dazed face.

He had short but silky black hair on his oval-shaped head, clear brown eyes that were bright as crystals, long eyelashes that would make even females jealous, sharp but neat eyebrows, and a small nose. Overall, his face was very symmetrical and pleasant-looking.

The last time he'd seen his own face was when he was 7 years old— before he lost his ability to see and became blind.

"If I recall correctly, Yu Rou once mentioned that one's appearance in the game will closely resemble their appearance in the real world, hence why I entered this game with an avatar already created for me. However, I do not know what I look like in the real world, and it has been over 10 years since I last saw my own face, so I cannot confirm whether this face really resembles my real appearance or not…"

Furthermore, because he does not know the standard regarding one's appearance, he cannot really tell whether he's really handsome or not.

Therefore, he decided to ask someone else for their opinion.

"Xiao Hua, I have a question for you." Yuan suddenly said to her.

"What is it, Brother Yuan?"

He then pointed at his own face and asked with a serious expression, "Without being biased, what do you think of my appearance? Would you say that I am handsome? Or am I ugly?"

"..."

Xiao Hua looked at him with wide eyes, seemingly speechless by his sudden question.

A few moments later, she spoke in a bashful voice and with slightly rosy cheeks, "Xiao Hua thinks Brother Yuan is very handsome…"

"Really? Are you sure that you're not just complimenting me because you don't want to hurt my feelings? It's okay to tell the truth, Xiao Hua." Yuan said to her, as he had a feeling that her judgment might be somewhat inaccurate because of their relationship.

"X-Xiao Hua is telling the truth! Brother Yuan is very handsome!" Xiao Hua said again, but her face was flushed with redness this time.

"Okay, I will trust your judgment." Yuan nodded.

"..."

Xiao Hua was speechless. Why would he even want this kind of feedback? Did he not look in the mirror just now? Anyone with a working brain would agree that Yuan was handsome. Or did he just want to tease her?

"Why are you asking about your appearance, Brother Yuan? Is it because of that Luo girl?" she decided to ask him.

However, Yuan quickly shook his head and said, "No, I was just wondering because I have never really cared for my own appearance."

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan. In the cultivation world, one's appearance isn't that important. As long as you are talented and powerful, unless you have the world's ugliest face, you'll be able to attract girls! And since Brother Yuan is both talented and handsome, you will, without doubt, have beauties fighting for you in every direction in the future!" Thinking that Yuan was worried about his appearance, Xiao Hua decided to cheer him up.

"Hahaha… My appearance is the least of my worries, Xiao Hua…" Yuan laughed in a bitter voice.

A few minutes later, Luo Li returned to the room. However, she looked a little bit different than before she left, almost as though she came back even prettier.

It was obvious that besides speaking with her father, Luo Li had spent some time improving her own appearance with light makeup.

Of course, as someone who doesn't pay much attention to appearances, Yuan was completely oblivious of this fact.

"Daoist Yuan, I have let my father know about your wishes to look around the city. We can leave whenever you want," she said to him.

"Okay, then let's leave now," Yuan said.

Sometime later, they left the Lord's Manor.

"Where do you wish to visit first, Daoist Yuan?" she asked him once they were outside.

Yuan shrugged and said, "I don't know what's in this city, so I'll let you choose where to visit."

However, as this is her first time giving a tour to someone, Luo Li was also unsure of where to go. Therefore, she decided to just walk around the city until they come across something that would pique Yuan's interest.

"That fruit stall over there is managed by Madam Ying, and it always has the freshest fruits in the city."

"That's Mister Wang's Treasure, the only weapon shop in our city."

"This is the residences' area, where most of the citizens live."

"That building over there is Li's Clinic…"

Luo Li gave a brief explanation for most of the shops and buildings they passed, and Yuan would listen to her with a bright face, looking as though he was in an amusement park.

However, he would show the most interest when Luo Li talked about the buildings that were related to food, and upon noticing this, Luo Li asked him, "Would you like to experience some of Pang City's finest cuisines?"

"Really?" Yuan immediately became excited. But when he remembered that his wallet was near empty, he asked her, "I only have ten gold coins on me. Will that be enough?"

Finding his question quite silly, Luo Li couldn't help but laugh slightly, "With 10 gold coins, you can eat everything on every single menu in this city and still have plenty of money left."

"What? The food here is that cheap? My last meal was atrociously expensive in comparison!" Yuan was shocked to learn that the food in this place was so cheap, especially when he'd spent 500 gold coins on his previous meal.

"Brother Yuan, that's because you were stuffing your face with expensive spiritual meat… Normal food will only cost a few silver coins at most." Xiao Hua said to him.

"Is that so? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go eat until our stomachs are round!" Yuan quickly said.
