Yun Che didn't pay attention to his surroundings and his eyes were fixed on Jasmine. These few days he spent with Jasmine was memorable and he didn't want it to end.
Jasmine quickly reverted back to her usual cold composure seeing that Yun Che was doing fine.
"I-i-t's not that this princess cares for you or anything. Understand?" said Jasmine timidly but her face was flushed with redness all over.
"Yes, yes I understand" replied Yun Che nonchalantly.
'It would be better if she's true to her feelings. But this is also good, this is what makes her cute though' Yun Che thought looking at Jasmine.
[Ding!]
[Unlocking new feature...]
[Shop feature is now enabled for Host to use]
Yun Che was excited and he immediately opened the shop feature to check what's available in the store. To his surprise, there were only dresses for men and women ranging from all sizes and some luxurious furniture.
Yun Che facepalmed. He thought he would receive something useful for training but the shop feature resembled that of a store in his previous life.
Thinking for a bit, he scrolled to the 13-year-old girls' section and a beautiful Smoky Red Fairy Dress caught his eye. He focussed on it and it enlarged showing its content.
[Smoky Red Fairy Dress was made with heavenly silk chiffon and embroidered with eighty-one blood-red crystal tassels; not only is its luster breathtaking, but it can also ward off evil spirits and is quite delicate to the touch]
'System, buy this' Yun Che said telepathically to his system.
[There's no need to buy it, Host]
[Whatever available in the Shop is free for Host to use as the system already belongs to you, Host]
Yun Che was amazed that his system is the ideal system he can ever hope for. At least, it didn't ask him to pay for it. What Yun Che didn't know was that even though the dress looked ordinary, it had protection skills embedded in it. And Jasmine's healing process will considerably fasten.
It wouldn't be good for Jasmine to float in the Sky Poison Pearl, Yun Che thought and got a luxurious bed alongside the dress and placed it in the Sky Poison Pearl.
The dress soon materialized in Yun Che's hands and he sweetly called.
"Jasmine"
Jasmine hearing Yun Che calling her sweetly turned to look at Yun Che and her eyes slipped onto the dress Yun Che is holding.
"This is for you," said Yun Che looking into Jasmine's glistening eyes.
He then told her that he even purchased a bed for her. And she no longer needed to float inside the Sky Poison Pearl.
Jasmine's heart was beating furiously. Her tiny chest was heaving up and down. She tried to control her emotions but it was to no avail. She hung her head low and asked
"Why? Why did you do this for me?"
"Do you even want a reason to give a person you like something? Or is it that you don't like it?" Yun Che asked instantaneously. He had no good knowledge of girl's tastes. He thought she didn't like it.
Jasmine immediately grabbed the dress from Yun Che's hands and vanished into the Sky Poison Pearl.
Around 30 minutes later, she returned back wearing the Smoky Red Fairy Dress. No words can describe her beauty. She looked more enchanting than Yun Che could have ever hoped. Her face was blushing hard. She tried to maintain her cold demeanor but in vain.
Yun Che looked at Jasmine, amazed. His eyes were full of appreciation and in a daze.
Jasmine tried to puff her chest out and felt a little proud of herself and feeling Yun Che's intense gaze began to blush but didn't hate it. She instead loved it. She wanted Yun Che to look at her more and more. Realizing her own feelings, tiny blushes crawled onto her face.
'This is my chance' Jasmine thought.
Not wasting a moment, she sped to Yun Che and planted a kiss on Yun Che's cheek.
Before Yun Che returned to his senses, she said
"Now, we're even and I am a little sleepy. Don't disturb this Princess"
Jasmine in a jiffy went into the Sky Poison Pearl. It happened so soon that Yun Che rubbed his eyes doubting whether he was still in a dream.
[Host, You are not dreaming]
[Everything happened is real]
His system answered.
'She too feels the same as me?' Yun Che thought. But waved it off.
(In the Sky Poison Pearl)
Jasmine entered the Sky Poison Poison Pearl and her face fell first on the bed.
"Haaahh! What did I just do? It's not even been 1 month and yet I'm like this. This is all your fault. Yes, It's all your fault" Jasmine shouted into the pillow. She continued to punch the pillow.
She soon calmed herself and her heart felt a little bit lighter and dozed off to sleep still in her Smoky Red Fairy Dress. The bed felt warmer and she hugged the pillow while sleeping not leaving its side.
This is the first time Jasmine slept peacefully for a long time. Even though it's not new for her to sleep on a luxurious bed, this one was very special for her. Every time, she used to get nightmares of her deceased brother. It would haunt her. But now, her heartfelt assured that she will be fine. And she will soon seek her vengeance.
It's partly because of the calming effect of the dress and mostly because of her love for Yun Che. But she has yet to realize it. Poor Jasmine.
