"Eh? That's strange, when did we get this?" At this moment, Tina, who had taken out the scroll, was stunned for a moment. She also didn't expect there to be an eighth-level magic scroll.
"Just bought it, a level five Fire Dragon Spell scroll—how did it turn into eight dragons?" said Little Spender. Although he was a bit weak in other areas, his memory was photographic.
"That means we got a bargain. We just spent three thousand gold coins, but now there's nothing we can do about it." Tina sighed. She felt she should have checked first; her young master often bought all sorts of strange things—maybe birds of a feather flock together.
"Doesn't matter, it's just for display anyway." Little Spender didn't feel the slightest bit of regret.
"Young master, your gift..." Seeing that the sudden appearance of the Eight Fire Dragon Spell had attracted everyone's attention, Tina took the opportunity to remind Little Spender to give the gift.
"Oh right, wife, this is the gift I bought for you today—one hundred and eighty thousand gold coins. It's the most expensive thing I've ever bought." Little Spender took the item and handed it directly to Seventh Princess.
One hundred and eighty thousand gold coins—everyone from the Ye family winced in pain. Long Anqi was now considering whether she should temporarily cut off this little brat's financial resources, but every time she saw that little rascal, she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
Forget it, maybe she owed him in a past life. Let him be happy.
"What is it?" Seventh Princess smiled. She didn't mind Little Spender's way of addressing her at all. If it were anyone else she was engaged to, calling her "wife," she would definitely be annoyed. But with this silly little fool, she felt no annoyance at all.
Maybe it's because she knew that "wife" was just a term to him, with no other meaning.
At the same time, Seventh Princess really enjoyed being with Little Spender; their relationship was very good, and she didn't seem to object to their engagement, which many people found odd.
Although Seventh Princess wasn't the most outstanding among the princesses, she was still a beautiful princess pursued by many, which made it all the more surprising.
Maybe it's just because she's still young; perhaps things will change when she grows up. But that's for the future. For now, she just likes that Little Spender has a pure heart. Being with him means no worries, no scheming.
If it were an ordinary person, when Seventh Princess asked this question, they'd say, "Open it and you'll see," or maybe, "There will be a surprise."
But Little Jason was not an ordinary person. Not only did he answer directly, he even said something he probably shouldn't have: "Moon Goddess Crown. Tina said all girls would like it."
Sweat. Wasn't that just telling her that if Tina hadn't suggested it, you probably wouldn't have bought it?
Seventh Princess smiled slightly, opened it and took a look, then handed the Moon Goddess Crown to Little Jason, saying, "Since this is a gift from you, you should put it on me."
"Oh..." Little Jason responded, looked at the Moon Goddess Crown in his hand for a moment, and then rather casually placed it on Seventh Princess's head. It even seemed a bit crooked.
Seventh Princess knew this would happen, so she adjusted it a little herself, then asked, "Does it look good?"
"Yeah, this sapphire is huge. It's really pretty," Little Jason nodded.
"...I was asking if I look good," Seventh Princess said helplessly.
"You look good too. Better than my sister."
"......"
"Liam York, what did you just say?!" Brian York suddenly appeared out of nowhere, staring at the silly little prince.
"I just said, she looks better than you..."
"You dare say that again!!"
"Why not? She really does look better than you."
"How is she better looking than me? Look at her—she barely has any chest, and she's not tall either..." Brian York started criticizing Seventh Princess, but what she said was actually normal—the girl was only ten, still growing.
Seventh Princess glared angrily at Brian York, protesting strongly: "You're not much better. You're three years older than us, but your chest isn't much bigger, and you're not that tall either."
"Tina, is this what they mean by 'chest'?" Little Jason pointed at Tina's chest and asked.
"Uh... yes." Tina blushed and replied awkwardly.
"Yeah, when we bathed together, I saw—hers are only as big as little steamed buns..."
"Liam York, you little dummy..."
Just as Brian York, Little Jason, and the others were arguing, and everyone else was watching them with a smile, a message came in. The emperor's voice rang out, temporarily disrupting the scene.
"What?! Are you sure this news is true?" The emperor's shocked voice echoed across the square, drawing everyone's attention away from the squabbling kids and onto him.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Ethan York asked curiously. He knew the emperor was the type who could stay calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. No matter how big the event, he could remain composed. It was rare for anything to surprise him like this.
