Shuangqing City, Zhaomushan Villa District.
"Dao Xuan Tianzun, since this humble woman has been blessed by fate and arrived in the Immortal Realm, then from now on, your daily needs, food, clothing, and living arrangements should be entrusted to me."
On her second day after coming out of the box, Gao Yiye had already started volunteering for responsibilities.
Li Dao Xuan smiled. "No need to trouble yourself like that. Over here, if you want to eat something, you can order delivery. If you need something done, you can call for errands."
Gao Yiye blinked. "Ah?"
Li Dao Xuan picked up his phone and tapped rapidly for a moment. Not long after, two boxed meals were delivered to the door. He handed one to her. "Here, this is yours."
Gao Yiye took a bite. Her eyes lit up immediately. "Ah, this is delicious."
Li Dao Xuan smiled. "Told you, right?"
Gao Yiye pursed her lips slightly. "Even though it is delicious, I still want to cook for you with my own hands."
"Uh, well…" Li Dao Xuan had been eating takeout for years. Suddenly having a girl say she wanted to cook for him personally made something in his heart rise instantly.
Food made by a girl, that had to taste even better.
"Alright then. Let's buy groceries."
Li Dao Xuan picked up his phone again, about to place an order for ingredients, but then he paused. He let out a small sigh, put the phone back down, changed into outdoor clothes, and took Gao Yiye's hand.
"Come on, I'll take you to buy groceries."
Gao Yiye became a little flustered. "We are going outside? If we meet other immortals, I am just a mortal… what should I do…"
"Don't treat others as anything special," Li Dao Xuan said. "Around here, the coolest thing is being yourself."
The two walked out together.
In the villa district, almost everyone drove when they went out. Only Li Dao Xuan, this rich man who had somehow leveled up everything except his life skills, had no driver's license and no car, so he could only rely on his legs.
The villa complex was huge. Just walking out of it took quite some effort.
But Gao Yiye loved it.
She loved being led by Li Dao Xuan, walking slowly through the quiet environment, a warm sense of happiness flowing through her entire body.
After quite a while, they finally reached the main gate.
Right outside was a small supermarket, and here, there were other people.
All eyes immediately turned toward Gao Yiye.
She grew a little nervous, unsure why these "other immortals" were all staring at her. Had they seen through her identity as a mortal? Would they expel her back to the lower realm?
Li Dao Xuan laughed softly. "Don't be afraid. They are looking at you because you are very pretty, and you are wearing beautiful hanfu. So they cannot help but look a bit more."
Gao Yiye tilted her head. "Ah?"
Modern society was quite tolerant. A girl wearing hanfu in a supermarket was no longer anything too rare, so after a brief glance, the onlookers turned away and began whispering among themselves.
"That girl is really pretty."
"Nice clothes, and she looks great too."
"Is she a professional model?"
"Look at that elegant temperament. You could never learn that in your lifetime."
Li Dao Xuan smiled, holding Gao Yiye's hand as he led her to a row of shelves. "Take whatever you like."
"Ah, alright."
The supermarket was filled with dazzling goods. Gao Yiye felt a little overwhelmed, but she was not completely unfamiliar. She recognized quite a few things.
Chocolate. Want Want rice crackers. Popping candy.
Dao Xuan Tianzun had used all sorts of excuses before, this festival or that holiday, to send these items down to Gao Village Family in creative ways.
So she happily picked some out. "Ah, this is bad, I did not bring a basket."
"There are shopping carts here. Just take one." Li Dao Xuan patiently showed her where to find them.
Soon, Gao Yiye was pushing a cart like an ordinary housewife, happily wandering around the supermarket, grabbing snacks from one side, vegetables from another, dumplings from the freezer, flour from the shelves.
Before long, the cart was filled to the brim.
Li Dao Xuan said, "Let's go, time to check out."
Gao Yiye jumped slightly. "Ah? These things need to be bought with Immortal Realm money?"
Li Dao Xuan laughed. "Of course."
Gao Yiye panicked. "Then this is bad. I should not have taken so much. I… I will waste a lot of your money like this, Dao Xuan Tianzun."
Li Dao Xuan smiled. "Silly girl, what are you thinking? I am very rich. These things are nothing. Come on."
He led her to the cashier.
While the cashier scanned the items and tallied the cost, Li Dao Xuan took out a card and handed it to Gao Yiye. "Keep this card with you from now on. When you pay, just use this."
The female cashier glanced over.
A platinum credit card.
She looked at Gao Yiye, then at Li Dao Xuan, and cursed silently in her heart. Rich second generation living in a villa, dating a hanfu model, casually using a platinum credit card. Damn rich people. Why do you not use that card to smash me instead? Ahhh, it is all because I am not as pretty as the hanfu girl.
Inside, she was raging. On the outside, she smiled professionally. "282 yuan."
Gao Yiye quickly presented the card with both hands. "Please… use this… how do you use it?"
The cashier sighed inwardly. Never even used a credit card before. Probably just came from the countryside. What a pure and innocent girl, and now she has been picked up by a rich second generation. What a waste. So unfair.
She took the card, swiped it, beep, then returned it. "Please keep your card."
Gao Yiye blinked. "That is all? That means the payment is done?"
The cashier smiled, then leaned in slightly and whispered while Li Dao Xuan was momentarily looking elsewhere. "Little sister, you really have a good life."
Gao Yiye's heart skipped. Oh no, this immortal has seen through me. She knows I am a mortal who came to the Immortal Realm, and that I have been favored by Dao Xuan Tianzun. That must be why she says I am lucky.
At that moment, Li Dao Xuan turned back.
The cashier instantly resumed her professional smile. "Here are two shopping bags for you."
Gao Yiye picked them up. Two large bags filled with 282 yuan worth of goods. One in each hand. It was a bit heavy.
Li Dao Xuan tried to take one, but she refused firmly.
How could she let Dao Xuan Tianzun carry things?
She was not a delicate girl. This much, she could handle.
They walked back home, once again passing through the quiet villa district.
Li Dao Xuan said, "Remember the way? If you need to buy groceries, food, or daily necessities, just go to that supermarket and use the card I gave you."
Gao Yiye hesitated. "Money in the Immortal Realm must be very hard to earn, right? If I spend like this, will you…"
"I already told you it is fine," Li Dao Xuan said. "Even if you max out that card, it is nothing to me. I have a whole stack of them."
He pulled out a bunch of different bank cards, showed them briefly, then put them away.
Only then did Gao Yiye relax. "That is wonderful. Now that I know how to buy things, from now on I will go buy groceries every day and cook for Dao Xuan Tianzun."
