Leon ran right into Sang Luo the moment he stepped outside.
He gave a quick bow before running off.
"Wait," she called, but it was too late to stop him.
"What took you so long?" Caesar approached, taking the two bags from her hands. They were filled with crystal sugar and fresh fruit. "You could have just sent someone for these things. You didn't have to go shopping yourself."
"Tangerines, key limes… and this one has a crisp texture but tastes sweet, like a strawberry. This carton is milk. I was thinking of taking it back, adding some ice, and blending up some fruit smoothies." The Rubel Forest was entering its cold season, while the Yalan Empire was still in the middle of a scorching summer. It would be a shame not to make some refreshing fruit drinks. Sang Luo licked her lips. "Want to try some?"
"I'm a carnivore. I don't care for fruit," he politely declined.
"How boring!"
