The Little Flaming Firebird on her shoulder didn't make a sound. She played with the group of kids in the town square for so long and ate a lot of the food that the kids fed her.

Jiang Cheng and Yanran didn't expect her to be so undiscriminating with food; the kids fed her various foods, such as biscuits, various fruits, and jerky and dried fish, which she accepted without hesitation.

Now she's full and after playing for so long, she's a bit tired, lying on Yanran's shoulder, the Little Flaming Firebird slightly closing her eyes, seemingly a little drowsy.

Passing by a bakery, Yanran went inside and came out after a while carrying a big bag of bread and some other food.

The little girl happily showed her teacher: "Teacher, look," she raised the big bag of food in her hand for Jiang Cheng to see.

"These are the bread that didn't sell at the bakery, and the bakery owner discounted them for me.

They even gave me two cakes.

Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although he's not someone who emphasizes food and clothing, he never thought he would one day eat food that was unsold and discounted.

Yanran was very happy. These foods are a hundred times better than the food she used to eat on the Nameless Planet. She almost forgot the taste of bread, not to mention the cake with a hint of milky scent.

Come, look, come and see, sportswear is on sale." A vendor shouted loudly by the roadside, catching their attention.

Seeing customers approaching, the street vendor spoke excitedly: "Sir, Ma'am, look at the clothes I sell. Except the styles are slightly outdated, feel the quality.

The vendor handed clothes to Yanran: "Miss, look at how this outfit looks."

The vendor didn't exaggerate. The quality of the clothes was indeed good, and the sportswear suited Yanran. Guo Ran was tempted, so she looked up at Jiang Fen.

Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded at her, but he felt conflicted inside.

The outfit Yanran was wearing couldn't be called an outfit anymore; it was basically a vest made from monster hide with patches all over the sleeves.

Jiang Cheng deeply reproached himself, wondering how he could forget that little girls love new clothes.

With Jiang Cheng's permission, Yanran happily started choosing clothes.

Yanran was tall because the harsh environment and food scarcity on the Nameless Planet affected her figure. She seemed a bit thin, but her body proportions were good, so clothes looked great on her.

The little girl bought a set of black sportswear. Jiang Cheng insisted she buy another set, and Yanran had no choice but to pick a gray set.

The price was very practical; the vendor was happy to receive payment and became especially agreeable when the little beauty bought two sets at once.

The two sets of clothes were sold at a lower price, leaving both parties happy.

Having bought outerwear, it was also necessary to buy underwear.

So when they reached an underwear shop, Jiang Cheng nudged Yanran inside.

He's a grown man, so it's not appropriate for him to enter such a place.

A little while later, the little girl came out with a red face and a small bag, and they headed to the hotel together.

The hotel owner was a good person and only charged them half the regular cost, telling them that every morning, the hotel provides a free breakfast for guests. The breakfast is pretty good, so he advised them to wake up early; if they're late, he can't guarantee something will be left.

Once in their room, they exchanged glances.

Perhaps the hotel owner was overly friendly, and he presumed they were a couple, so he arranged a room for them.

Thinking about it, the hotel owner couldn't be blamed; maybe he considered their financial situation, knowing that one person per room is definitely pricier than two people in one room.

Standing awkwardly for a while, Jiang Cheng spoke first: "Well, one room is good. We're unfamiliar here, so staying together is safer.

He glanced around the room: "Not bad, there's a sofa. I can sleep on it, and you can have the bed."

Yanran wouldn't comply, insisting she should take the sofa since Jiang Cheng is her teacher and students should respect their teachers.

They argued for a long time until Jiang Cheng asserted himself as a teacher and let Yanran have the bed.

Inside the room, there's a bathroom where they could wash. Jiang Cheng thought Yanran might not have had a warm bath in a while, so he exited the room to let Yanran enjoy a nice bath.

In the hotel lobby, Jiang Cheng killed time by looking at the paintings hanging on the wall.

At that moment, someone walked in from outside and asked the hotel owner: "Boss, are the two aliens who performed archery in the square earlier staying here?"

The owner nodded sagely and pointed at Jiang Cheng, who was gazing at the paintings: "That's him."

The person approached Jiang Cheng eagerly, introduced himself, and then made a request.

It turned out he was the local archery club owner. After dinner yesterday, he witnessed Yanran's amazing skills at the square. As someone who understands archery a bit, he was deeply impressed by Yanran's skills.

He had never seen such exquisite archery before.

When he finally snapped out of it, the two aliens who performed archery had already left, so he asked around and tracked them to Jiang Cheng and Yanran's lodging.

After introducing himself, the archery club owner sincerely requested Yanran to give a lecture at their club tomorrow morning, saying it would be a pity if such remarkable skills weren't seen by more people.

Plus, he promised Jiang Cheng a fee for Yanran's effort — something Jiang Cheng sorely needed now — so he readily agreed.

The archery club owner left satisfied.

Yanran's amazing archery performance at the town square caught the archery club owner's attention, so he hurried to the lodge where Jiang Cheng and Yanran were staying, and requested Yanran to hold an archery lecture at his club the following morning. He promised a handsome fee, and Jiang Cheng, eager to solve his financial woes, readily agreed.

An unrestful night passed.

The next morning, seeing the energetic Yanran, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

Yanran stood before him in a set of black sportswear, looking spirited. The black color highlighted her fair skin, making it even more striking. The little girl had tied her long hair into a neat bun, showing off her slender neck.

Besides, the little girl's bright and lovely face made her indeed an extraordinary beauty.

Girls always love to stand out and hope others appreciate their beauty, so when she noticed Jiang Cheng's admiring gaze, the little girl blushed and smiled modestly.

"Let's go, it's getting late, the archery club owner must be waiting anxiously."

With that, Jiang Cheng led the way out of the hotel.
