Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Novel

Chapter 281 Spirit fruit on auction

After a while, the group reached the city market. Unlike the residential area, the city market was extremely bustling, with numerous people, most of which were elves, going about their business. Some were trying to sell their wares, while some were looking for the things they wanted to buy.

"Big brother, big sisters, let me take you to the amazing shop that sells delicious sweets." Little Arya brought them to the east side of the city market. The east side of the market had the least number of shops, and only a few people could be seen walking around.

"There it is." Little Arya pointed to a shop surrounded by many kids of Arya's age.

Whoosh!

The next moment, she became a blur and rushed to the shop without waiting for them to follow her.

"Max, let's go. Since little Arya likes the sweets from this shop so much, we should also try them." Leticia suggested.

"Let's go then." Max nodded before walking toward the shop. After seeing how much little Arya seemed to like them, he had already wanted to try them. After all, delicious food was one of the things he enjoyed most.

...

After buying a few types of sweets, Max and the company sat on one of the benches by the shop to eat them.

"Big sister, aren't these delicious?" Little Arya asked Leticia as she took a big bite out of a pie.

"Yeah, they are delicious." Leticia nodded as she also stuffed the sweet in her mouth one after another. Belen and Rima were the same; they also devoured them without caring for their images.

'So, they also have this side.' Max had a smile on his face as he watched them with happy expressions. Usually, they wouldn't talk much about other things, such as their likes, dislike or similar stuff and focus on having sex most of the time when he was with them.

So, it was refreshing to see them act like little kids. 'It seems I should take care of them properly and not think about always having sex.' He thought.

"Big brother, why are you dreaming? If you don't eat them, they will finish very soon." Little Arya said as she took a few candy-type sweets from the packets before stuffing them in her mouth.

"Don't worry about me. I'm eating." Max smiled and started eating.

After a while, they were done with the sweets.

"Let's go and tour the market, shall we?" Max asked the ladies as he stood up. Except for Arya, Rima and the others stood up immediately. Arya glanced at the sweet shop before standing up, albeit reluctantly.

"Hehe, little Arya. Everything is already sold out. However, we can come here tomorrow if you want." Rima chuckled when she noticed her reluctance.

"Really?" Little Arya's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Even though Rima didn't know why she was so happy, she still nodded, "Why not."

"You are the best big sister." Little Arya hugged her arm excitedly.

"Little Arya, why are you so happy? Can't you come here whenever you want?" Leticia asked, slightly intrigued.

When little Arya heard this, her expression dimmed. Just then, the shopkeeper, who was near them, laughed and said, "Haha, young lady. You might not know this, but the city lord doesn't usually allow our saint girl to come here."

"Oh! Why is it so?" Leticia curiously asked.

Before the shopkeeper could reply, Rima giggled lightly and said, "It's easy. Given how mischievous little Arya is, if she is allowed to do as she wishes, she won't pay attention to anything and will always be out having fun."

"Big sister, I'm not so mischievous." Little Arya's eyes became teary, and she stomped out of embarrassment when she heard this.

"Yeah, you are not so mischievous. Now let's go." Max interjected and walked away, with the ladies following after them.

"Huh? Why is everyone in a hurry?" Leticia frowned when she noticed many people rushing in the same direction.

"Let's ask around." Max was also curious. He went to a nearby stall.

"Welcome, dear customer. What would you like to buy?" The stall owner, who was a middle-aged Elvin lady, asked politely with a smile when she saw Max coming toward her stall.

"Hello. Sorry. I'm not planning to buy anything yet." Max shook his head which caused the Elvin lady's smile to disappear.

Seeing this, Max took out a few low-grade Mana stones and gave them to her before he asked, "Can you tell us why everyone seems to be in a hurry?"

The stall owner's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took the Mana stone and replied, "I heard that the Greenwave auction hall is going to auction a spirit fruit which can help any mage under the four-star realm breakthrough at least two small levels."

'A spirit fruit that can help break through two small levels!' When Belen heard this, her eyes shone brightly, her breathing quickened, and she almost shouted out loud. She turned toward Max, wanting to say something, but eventually, she decided not to.

"A spirit fruit!" Although Belen managed to suppress her excitement, Rima and Leticia couldn't and exclaimed in surprise.

Leticia turned toward Max and asked, "Max, should we go and see if we can buy it?" If it were before, she wouldn't have asked this because she knew they didn't have enough Mana stones. However, just yesterday, the city lord had given Belen a spatial bag which had around 100,000 low-grade Mana stones. Therefore, she didn't hesitate to ask.

"Yes. Let's go." Max nodded, and without any delay, he followed after the people who were heading toward the auction house.

Soon after, they arrived in front of a big three-story tall building, and hundreds of people were standing in a line in front of it.

"Let's stand in line," Max said. However, just as he was about to walk to the end of the line, Arya spoke up.

"Big brother. You don't need to stand in line if you show them the tokens mom gave you yesterday."
