Without hesitation, Theo took out three hundred gold coins from the blue ring, laying them out on the counter with a clinking sound. 

 

The elven girl's confident expression shattered into pieces, her previous assumptions about the duo proving embarrassingly off-mark.

 

Theo and Lilith exchanged amused glances, finding her flustered reaction rather entertaining. 

 

Once she managed to recover, the elven girl said, “I apologize, sir. That was a mistake on my part.” 

 

With a cold edge to his voice, Theo replied, “Just pack the dresses and use these coins to settle our bill.”

 

“Yes, sir,” the elven girl responded, hurriedly getting to work. She began packing the dresses into bags. While she was occupied, Theo found a quiet spot and initiated the process of transferring gold from his blue ring to his golden vault. Gold coins appeared from thin air, and just before they could touch the ground, they disappeared, instantly stored within the vault.

 

By the time Theo had finished, the elven assistant was nearly done packing. Meanwhile, Lilith was browsing through some other dresses from the rack. She picked out another two and placed them alongside the others.

 

Noticing the additions, the elven girl included them in the bill and proceeded to pack them.

 

“Sir, the total comes to two hundred ninety-two gold coins. Here's the change,” she informed Theo, holding out eight gold coins as change.

 

“Keep it as a tip,” Theo declared nonchalantly, storing the purchased dresses in his blue ring.

 

The pair exited the shop, leaving the elven girl in stunned silence. For not only had they purchased all those expensive dresses, but Theo had also left a generous tip, something usually reserved for the likes of royalty.

 

Stepping outside into the night, under a canopy of glittering stars, Lilith couldn't hold back her laughter. “You sure taught her a thing or two about not judging a book by its cover. Little does she know that my farmer boy could probably buy out the entire shop if he wished,” she commented, a hint of possessiveness flickered in her tone when she said ‘my farmer boy’.

 

Stopping in his tracks, Theo turned to face her with a cold expression. “Take this,” he spoke as he offered her something.

 

Lilith's eyes sparkled mischievously, “Is this your way of proposing marriage to me?”

 

“Don't daydream, Demoness. It's just a spatial ring. It has all your dresses. Store whatever you wish in it for the time being,” Theo explained as he handed over the ring, then began walking again. 

 

Examining the ring closely, Lilith slid it onto her ring finger. It magically adjusted to her size, fitting perfectly. For a moment, she stared at it, lost in thought, before hurrying to catch up with Theo, who was now some distance ahead.

 

After purchasing the dresses, their next stops were to buy a bed for Lilith, some rations, a few bags of desserts, and essential items Lilith needed, such as perfume, soap, and other daily necessities. Theo spent another hundred gold coins, a significant portion of which went toward buying rations for both the villagers and himself, as well as essential items that would prove useful for camping or while traveling outdoors.

 

Additionally, Theo stocked up on healing potions. he purchased 100 intermediate quality potions, each priced at 1 gold coin. He also acquired 20 high-quality potions, which were more expensive, costing 100 coins each. In total, he spent an additional 2,100 gold coins on the potions alone. 

 

By the time they made their way back to the inn, evening had settled in. Lilith was at his side. Inside, they found Neria with a notebook, while Lorian appeared to be giving her a math lesson. Evidently, her brother had noticed the miscalculations in the morning when she asked 20 silver coins for eleven days and Lorian thought it was important to give her a proper math lesson.

 

Upon hearing the ring bell, the siblings turned to see who had arrived. Their mouths fell open in astonishment at the sight of the beautiful fairy-like figure standing next to the huge young man. 

 

Theo approached Neria while Lilith trailed behind him. He handed the little girl a small bag, saying, “This is for you. It’s the dessert we bought at the vendor's shop.” 

 

"Thank you, Big Brother," Neria responded, accepting the bag with a delightful expression. She opened the bag, peered inside, and a bright smile blossomed on her face. 

 

Lorian, however, cast a frosty glare in their direction. He knew sweets were his sister's favorite, and they couldn't often afford such treats, and he didn't want to make her upset again, especially after scolding her and making her cry in the morning. Plus, the ravishing beauty next to Theo made him reluctant to speak up for fear of leaving a bad impression on her.

 

Standing beside Theo, Lilith leaned closer to Neria, and whispered in her ear with a smile, “You’re so cute... but remember, he belongs to me.” 

 

Neria replied with a genuine smile, “You're cute too, Big Sister,” She adorably ignored Lilith’s wild comment. 

 

Suddenly, Lilith felt a light bonk on her head and let out an “Oww…” She turned to see, rubbing her head with a scrunched face, Theo already making his way up the stairs.

 

“Visit again soon, Big Brother,” Neria called out but her attention was completely focused on the sweets in the bag with a bright smile.

 

Upon entering their room, Theo locked the door behind them. It had been a long day, filled with unique encounters and experiences. He had met a variety of people, from the vicious elven princes to the shameless white-haired man. And of course, there was the adorable little Neria, who easily forgot her brother's warning about not speaking to Theo at the sight of sweets.

 

As Theo settled in, he noticed Lilith busily adjusting her hair using the hand mirror she had recently purchased.

 

He suggested, “If you'd like, you can go out and shop some more. I’ve stored some gold coins in your ring. Just remember to spend them wisely.”

 

Looking up from her reflection, Lilith replied, “I do want to go, but I don’t want to leave you alone.” With that, the mirror vanished into her new blue ring.

 

“I'm heading to the farm. Would you like to join?” Theo inquired. Given that it was already late in evening, he decided to head back to the farm.

 

“Why wouldn’t I? I also need to set up my new bed beneath that rainbow tree,” Lilith responded, not knowing true name of Radiant Yggdrasil Tree.

 

“Alright, Let’s go.” He cast a portal and they both stepped through it.

 

Just as Theo entered the demonic farm with Lilith, he realized he hadn’t planted any crops the last time. He had been busy exploring the Auction House option and then traveled to Elwyn city using the teleporter. He felt a twinge of regret; had he planted them, they would have already matured by now. He could have sold them tomorrow, but it was too late for regrets. 

 

He commanded his [Helltiller's Spade] to prepare fourteen acres of land. Since he was at level six, he had an additional six acres of land besides the ten he had received when he unlocked this class. The tool obediently began preparing the land. 

 

He then accompanied Lilith to the Radiant Yggdrasil tree and took out a king-sized bed, setting it under the tree's shade. There were white sheets and three purple pillows. He wasn't sure why Lilith needed three pillows but bought them for her anyway. 

 

Lilith carefully arranged her bed, placing two pillows vertically at the head and one at the base for her head. Once satisfied, she lay down, spreading her arms as if unfurling her wings, closed her eyes, and murmured, "Good Night, My Farmer boy…"

 

Sighing at the sight, Theo made his way to his field. He then opened the auction house and selected the [Demonic Cultivation Supplies] section, with the previous listings appearing instantly.

Upon checking his current balance, Theo realized he had sufficient funds to purchase both [Lunar Slumber Blossom] and [Agilitybane Thistle]. He clicked [Buy] for both items.

 

Immediately, two prompts appeared, one after the other:

 

<<<< 

[Are you sure you want to purchase the Lunar Slumber Blossom]?

- [Yes/No] 

[Are you sure you want to purchase the Agilitybane Thistle]?

- [Yes/No]

>>>>

 

Without hesitation, Theo clicked [Yes] for both items. Instantly, 4,000 Abyssal Coins were deducted from his account, leaving him with a balance of 310 AC.

 

<<<<

[Lunar Slumber Blossom seeds have been successfully purchased. Item is safely deposited in the Golden Vault.]

[Agilitybane Thistle seeds have been successfully purchased. Item is safely deposited in the Golden Vault.]

>>>>

 

After reading the notification, Theo withdrew the seeds to inspect them.

 

Two pouches, one small and the other slightly larger, appeared in each of his hands. Each pouch bore an icon resembling a gavel hovering over a patch of farmland, similar to the auction house icon. 

 

He knelt on the ground and opened them. As he took out one seed from each of the pouches and held them, he felt a strange warmth emanating from them, as if they were imbued with a vibrant energy. They were about the size of mustard seeds. 

 

After inspecting the seeds, he placed the seeds to their respective pouches and stored them back in the golden vault. Following this, he commanded the [Sower's Abyssal Pouch] to distribute all the new and old seeds to the newly prepared fourteen acres of land. The [Sower's Abyssal Pouch] immediately got to work.

 

Theo allocated 1 acre each to the eight new seeds he had purchased from the store manager in Elwyn City: Mushroom, Mint, Beans, Carrots, Lettuce, Violet Berries, Verdantleaf Tea, and Beets. He used another acre for the Lunar Slumber Blossom and Agilitybane Thistle, the two new seeds he acquired from the auction house. As they were in limited quantity, they didn’t require much land. 

 

He used the remaining four acres to sow nightshade tomato seeds. Though they were among the cheaper options in the market, one plant yielded him at least 40-50 tomatoes, making them profitable despite their low market price.

 

As the [Sower's Abyssal Pouch] executed its duties, Theo instructed the [Abyssal Bloodstone Watering Can] to water the freshly sown seeds. He leisurely wandered through his farm, allowing his tools to handle their tasks.

 

When he reached Lilith’s bed, he noticed her rhythmic breathing. She slept as peacefully as a baby.

 

Theo plopped down on the ground, gazing up at the mysterious eerie sky, lost in thought. Back on Earth, he was more famous than most celebrities, being the next in line to inherit the vast Lewis Business Empire.

 

However, his crafty grandfather had other plans. Instead of inheriting wealth and prestige, he was stripped of this privilege and thrown back to this primary world, a place where his own 'family' seemed more interested in plotting his demise than in planning family picnics.

 

‘What a bizarre family reunion this is!’
