It seems they’ll have some shopping to do.


    “Alright grandma, do not worry. I’ll take you somewhere where you canugh, forget your worries” said Ren.


    But Theresa frowned at him in disgust.


    “A wine house?” she asked.


    “No! Mistress, we do some shopping together asdies.”Ren exined and then transformed into a middle-aged slimdy that was not too pretty but much better than Theresa.


    Seeing this, she had the urge to want to tear him into pieces.


    Whenever he put on disguises, his clothes fit him perfectly. The female clothes he’s wearing now makes him look so noble. But look at her, peasants willugh at her or run away in fright.


    She’s like an HIV/AIDS patient.


    She really needs a hole to hide inside.


    Ren held her hand, and both vanished leaving the earlier clothes she brought behind.


    ———–


    Both appeared in an alleyway and Ren took the lead to walk out of it dragging Theresa along.


    As she expected, people were stunned or scared especially little children.


    “Thatdy is so thin. She can’t even walk well”


    “What happened to her?”


    “She looks terrible”


    “Safeguard your children”


    Theresa felt uneasy while Ren was enjoying himself.


    “Ren rent us a carriage,” she said in a low voice


    “Mistress, this ce is crowded not suitable for carriage,” he said with a smile.


    “Damn it!” she cursed under her breath


    10 minutester.


    They had both arrived at one of the best clothes shop in Luo ye country. Theresa was sadder since the clothes she set her eyes on were all too big for her tiny body.


    A beautiful young maiden has just entered the shop dressed in white. She looked as fresh as a flower with a small smile on her lips.


    The attendant whom she excused away weed her, and she searched for a dress that catches her eyes.


    She was very slim and tall but not thin like Theresa currently is. She scanned the rows and rows of clothes and continued to shake her head until one finally caught her eyes. But that very one was being held by a sickly middle-ageddy who was way too average and did not bother to apply any make-up. That dress was hers, no one can take it from her.


    So she walked faster than before though still trying to maintain her elegant and nobleposure. In no time, she was standing in front of thedy who was Theresa.


    “Madam, if I may ask do you like this dress?” the young maiden asked with her small yet sweet voice.


    Theresa looked up and was stunned. Thisdy looked familiar. Very familiar.


    “Who are you?’ Theresa asked.


    The girl was not happy that thisdy didn’t acknowledge her beauty as others do but still politely replied.


    “I am Han Ling,” she said.


    Normally this should make thisdy before her, to give her respect but it was the opposite.


    “How may I help you?” Theresa asked. Though annoyed, Han Ling tried to remain polite.


    “I want that dress, madam. It has caught my eyes,” said Han Ling.


    “It has also caught my eyes so I want it, “Theresa said as she took the dress and headed to the cashier’s counter


    “How much is this?” Theresa asked.


    “5 gold coins,” said the young male cashier.


    “I’ll pay ten gold coins” said Han Ling who just got there.


    “I’ll pay 70 gold coins. Dare topete with me?” Theresa taunted.


    “Why won’t I? I’ll pay a 100 gold coins” she decreed not wanting to lose to Theresa


    Though she is the 6th child of her papa, he treats her like a princess and so she has some gold coins that currently amount to 500 gold coins.


    It didn’t take long for the dress that originally cost 5 gold coins to rise to 400 gold coins. This made some buyers gather. It seemed these twodies were at odds with each other and werepeting with wealth.


    Who was gonna win?


    Theresa had known who Han Ling was even before she said her name and so she nned to teach her a lesson.


    Han ling clenched her fists beneath her long sleeves but still politely smiled and said 700 gold coins.


    She wanted that dress at all cost. She would attend her friend’s birthday party tomorrow night and so she wouldn’t let an uglydy take it. Besides, it was too big for her.


    Just look at her clothes.


    Though expensive, it’s genuine beauty was lost because this woman decided to wear it.


    Theresa was also not ready to back down and said: “One pearl”


    This made them all stare at her.


    Who was she? Does she think pearls are that easy to get?


    To clear their doubts, Theresa brought out a refined pearl and gave it to the attendant.


    “The dress is now mine, Han Ling. I can decide what to do with it. Yes, as you can all see I’m but a thindy who will destroy the beauty of this dress so I’ve decided to …”


    Theresa took Ren’s sword from its sheath and cut the dress into pieces and then handed the pieces to Han ling bowing.


    “Dearest Miss Ling, forgive me for giving you this ugly gift.”She said as Ren took back his sword.


    “I’ll take it on one condition. Who are you?” Han ling asked.


    Theresa simply turned to face the female Ren for an answer.


    “Madam, she is someone you cannot offend. I advise you to take this gift that she’s offered you from her heart. You are the second person to receive such a wonderful gift,” Ren advised.


    Han ling nodded and released her aura. These two old women standing before her only had the money but no cultivation (i. e. magic powers)


    She wanted to suppress them into kneeling down and maybe get some pearls from them but the reverse was the case.


    Ren released a bit of his aura directed to only her alone which made her sweat and she hurriedly took the rags with a smile and then left.


    “Ok, People showtime is over” Theresa announced and walked out with Ren. She had lost interest in that shop. Since she was already like this why not just explore the ancient world like this?


    So she and Ren disappeared and reappeared at the marketce which was so crowded. There were many strange items that Theresa did not know and so Ren exined to her through telepathy.


    He would often pat her shoulders which she found annoying.


    Just like before, she received nces from people who either felt sorry for her condition or used her as an example of someone suffering punishment from heaven.


    “See her? If you keep lying, you will be like that Jun’er. Do you wanna be like that?”


    These were the words of a mother to her child on seeing Theresa.


    But Theresa wasn’t bothered.


    What dazzled her was that there were no much food vendors in the market but you could find the ones who sold low-cost clothes, pills, jewelry and anything rted to cultivation.


    She was very disappointed but did not voice it out. What those novels said were lies. BIG LIES.


    Ren told her that here majority were cultivators (i. e. magic practitioners) so not everyone wanted to eat or even knew how to cook. Those who sold street food and snacks in the market are those poor people who can’t cultivate.


    But those owners of top restaurants in Luo ye imperial city were cultivators who used their energy to prepare food, so those who eat conquer not only momentarily their thirst for some food and wine but also eat energy prepared food that is very good in purifying their bodies. The food prices there in these ces are very high only the rich can afford them.


    “Ren, I want us to find a restaurant, top restaurant. I’m starving,” Theresained. She had pearls so she could eat as much as she wanted.


    Boy! Her stomach must be furious. She needs to pacify it as soon as possible. The stinky tofu that she ate here on the street wasn’t as delicious as the one described in the novel “Gourmet of another world”.


    Ren nodded.


    He was not a good pet. How could he forget mistress was a human from another world?RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    He held her hand and disappeared.


    …………..


    Exotic restaurant.


    Theresa was eating in the high-ss section of this restaurant.


    She was chewing the meat and giving leftover bones to Ren.


    “What does mistress think I am? A dog?” Ren thought unhappily.


    If not for the visionst night from his Grandpa, he would not have so easily submitted to her. Anyway, at least he has several ways to make her suffer.


    “Ren, try out this bone, “Theresa said handing another bone to him but he waved it away.


    “Mistress, I’m a cultivator so…”He got interrupted by Theresa.


    “Cultivator or not, you are still a beast. And a beast needs food.” said a heartless Theresa.


    “Mistress if even I must eat, do you have to give me bones to eat? Your current appearance is befitting of a dog why not you eat them?’


    Ren, however, dared not to voice hisints out.


    “Mistress, when you finish eating, I will swallow the bones,” He said to Theresa with a forced smile.


    “Ok! As they said back in my former world, one does not waste food,” said Theresa.


    “Is bone then the only befitting food for me?” Ren thought again.


    Just then, a worker ran in sweating.


    “What is it?” Ren asked, a hint of anger found in his tone of voice.


    “Madams, please follow me to another room. Eh… someone had booked this ce before” the short middle-aged man exined.


    “Oh, there are seats here for 8 people and there are 4 tables so let hime here,” said Theresa.


    “This scene mostly happens in transmigration novels I had read on web novel. I can’t believe I’d actually see it real.” she thought.


    But the man sweat even more and tried to persuade them to leave until he heard footsteps and people talking.


    His face paled, and he wanted to faint. He wasn’t able to do as he was told. What will he do? If they fire him, how will he provide for his ailing wife and 6 children?


    These twodies before him were so hard-headed that they havended him into trouble.
