From 11:30 in the morning until 2:30 in the afternoon, Qingpin ate for a full three hours! The plates on the table were piled up to half a meter high... This was after the waiters had cleared them away five times. However, these waiters were not very surprised, as sword maidens often came to dine at Chanel. For example, a famous sword maiden who came last time ate even more than Qingpin.
By continuously providing delicious meat to Qingpin, the muscular man successfully got closer to her. Indeed, Qingpin even sat directly on the table next to the muscular man, eating heartily.
"Little Qingpin, why don't you follow Uncle Luo from now on? Your sword master is a penniless man who can't support you. Uncle Luo will treat you to roasted meat every day, how about it!" This Uncle Luo finally revealed his true intention of wanting to take Qingpin away by treating her to meat.
Guhan felt he couldn't tolerate it anymore! He was about to stand up and give this presumptuous man a good lesson. Kidnapping a sword maiden in broad daylight was a capital offense! Beating him up would be the lightest punishment.
But before Guhan could act, a large plate of Dongpo meat, full of wine and sugar syrup, was thrown into Uncle Luo's face. Instantly, Uncle Luo's face looked as if it had been smeared with excrement.
"Hmph! Don't think that treating Qingpin to some meat can buy her. Qingpin is Guhan's precious sword maiden, and Qingpin likes Guhan the most!" After saying this, Qingpin jumped off the table triumphantly and pounced into Guhan's arms. "Stupid Guhan, our Qingpin's tummy is so full, let's go buy clothes!"
Then, Guhan carried Qingpin and left, and none of the waiters dared to stop him. Only the muscular Uncle Luo was left sitting there with a bitter expression.
"Sir, would you like to settle the bill?" The waiter who had led Guhan in earlier approached nervously, fearing that the other party might suddenly lash out and harm her. But there was no choice, as Guhan was her responsibility, and she had to handle the bill.
"I'll pay... I'll pay... How much is it?" Uncle Luo wiped a piece of Dongpo meat off his face and raised his personal terminal, feeling both amused and exasperated.
"You three ate a total of 108 pounds of natural pork, which is worth 86,400 RMB. We'll waive the change, so you just need to pay 86,000 RMB!"
"Really that much..." Uncle Luo's face twitched uncomfortably. This was 86,000 RMB, the cost of living for a small family for about three years. Even for him, it was a price that would make him wince for several days.
"Before I change my mind, quickly transfer the money..." The waiter shivered at Uncle Luo's words and quickly used her corporate terminal to swiftly transfer 86,000 RMB from Uncle Luo's personal terminal.
"Just coordinated with a sword master for two days!" Uncle Luo's lips curled into a wicked smile. "You'll never be able to pay back the money you owe Uncle Luo in this lifetime."

"Qingpin!" On the way, Guhan suddenly called Qingpin's name.
"What?" Qingpin turned her head, looking at Guhan in confusion.
Seizing the moment, Guhan quickly lowered his head and kissed Qingpin's cheek heavily. What a fragrant little face... full of green apple scent.
After secretly kissing Qingpin, Guhan instantly regretted it, his face turning red... What was he doing? How did he become so perverted, secretly kissing his sword maiden? Was this still the Guhan who was determined to avenge his parents and avoid women? But then again, about 40% of sword masters had some romantic relationship with their sword maidens... No, no, what was he thinking?
Right, he must have been moved by Qingpin's action of throwing the meat at that perverted man, which is why he kissed her. He was just emotionally overwhelmed, he had no other intentions...
Guhan struggled with this internal conflict for a long time, finally managing to convince himself that it was all due to emotional excitement.
"Guhan, your saliva stinks... Qingpin is wiping it off..." Qingpin used her still greasy little hand to wipe the spot on her face where Guhan had kissed her, then sniffed her hand and made this judgment. It was unclear whether she smelled the stench of Guhan's saliva or the meat on her hand!
"Look at your face, it's all oily!" Guhan glanced at Qingpin's shiny, oily face and then at his own shirt, which was also smeared with oil. He felt a bit disgusted. "Qingpin, get down and walk. I'm tired of carrying you." He squatted down to put Qingpin down.
"I don't want to, Qingpin doesn't want to get down..." Qingpin, seeing that Guhan wanted to put her down, immediately grabbed his collar and climbed onto his neck. "I don't want to get down. Qingpin is tired from eating, Qingpin's tummy is so full, Qingpin is pregnant, Qingpin doesn't want to get down... Stinky Guhan, bad Guhan, you kissed Qingpin secretly and now you want to put Qingpin on the ground... Qingpin doesn't want to get down."
Qingpin's antics, especially her claim of being pregnant, drew the attention of everyone around. Guhan's face stiffened, and he had no choice but to abandon the idea of making Qingpin walk and ran quickly toward the clothing store.
——————
The clothing building was the place in the entire Yuzhang City with the most complete and cheapest clothing sales. Most of the people in Yuzhang City bought their clothes here. Only the citizen class or those with some extra money would choose to buy expensive clothes from department stores or traditional clothing shops.
Unlike traditional clothing shops, which hung clothes and sold them manually, the clothing building had a much more advanced and futuristic sales model.
First, there were no individual shops of different brands and types in the clothing building. Instead, there were uniform cubicles of about three square meters each. Guhan picked up a cubicle number at the entrance of the clothing building and was taken to his cubicle by an automatic escalator.
The cubicle was very simple, with a mirror, a curtain, and a computer. It looked more like a fitting room than a clothing store. However, this was indeed a place to buy clothes, and it offered the most diverse selection.
"Hello, welcome citizen Guhan to the clothing building, cubicle 0852. Who would you like to buy clothes for? Please have the customer stand in front of the mirror."
"Quickly get down and stand in front of the mirror, I'm buying clothes for you!" Guhan urged Qingpin to get off him. This time, Qingpin did not refuse. No girl could resist the allure of beautiful clothes, not even a little girl.
"Customer identified: Child, height 1.20 meters, slim build. Clothing selection narrowed to children's wear. Please choose the clothing selection mode: Active selection, Brainwave interaction, System selection." The computer rattled off its options. Active selection meant a series of clothes would appear in the mirror for the customer to choose from; Brainwave interaction was faster and more precise through brainwave communication; System selection meant the system would pick the most suitable clothes based on the customer's appearance and figure.
"System selection." Qingpin was not human, so her brainwaves could not be read, making brainwave selection impossible. Guhan had also heard countless stories from Song Hama about his sister spending five hours continuously selecting clothes in the clothing building, so he decided to skip active selection.
"Which type of children's wear would you like to choose?" the system continued.
"Let's start with a princess dress!" Guhan said without hesitation. His sister loved princess dresses, so his first thought was a princess dress.
"Understood, starting system selection!" The mirror, which had clearly reflected Qingpin's appearance, suddenly blurred, and the entire surface rippled like water. A few seconds later, the rippling stopped, and Qingpin reappeared in the mirror, but now she was wearing a beautiful emerald green princess dress!
Looking at the real Qingpin, she was still in her old clothes, her face dirty. But in the mirror, Qingpin in the princess dress looked like a little princess from a fairy tale.
"So beautiful!" Guhan was stunned. The computer had indeed chosen the perfect dress to highlight Qingpin's sweet and adorable princess-like charm, completely captivating Guhan.
"Qingpin, shall we buy this one?" Guhan murmured.
"Yes! Qingpin likes this dress too!" Qingpin jumped in front of the mirror, delighted.
"Customer's body is not clean, would you like cleaning service? This service costs 10 RMB."
"Clean it!" Guhan looked at the oil on Qingpin's face and decided not to skimp on the 10 RMB.
The curtain in the cubicle slowly lowered, blocking Qingpin from Guhan's view. Of course, a girl needs privacy when changing clothes.
Inside the curtain, several robotic arms appeared, removing Qingpin's clothes. To explain, the clothes that sword maidens naturally wear when they awaken can be taken off, but they disappear when removed. When the sword maiden wants to wear them again, they reappear, like a magical girl's clothes, very convenient.
Then, a large spray of mist was directed at Qingpin. The mist was a liquid that could absorb dirt, and when it evaporated, it carried the dirt away. So when the mist disappeared, Qingpin was a clean and adorable child again.
A small platform opened in the wall of the cubicle, and the princess dress Qingpin had chosen was placed on it. The robotic arms automatically took the dress and dressed Qingpin without her having to lift a finger. A few seconds later, the curtain opened again, and the little princess from the mirror appeared in front of Guhan.
