The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

After Ryan finished speaking, he handed the list to Veronica.

"So, I can only ask you for help."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Veronica patted Ryan on the shoulder, swung her long legs, and walked briskly to the vendor next to her.

Because Anseth City is located at the border between the Pennsylvania Federation and the Principality of Ferrante, it is constantly exposed to hot winds from the Pennsylvania Federation.

In addition, with the scorching sun overhead, most residents, except for the local nobles, had a healthy roughness on their skin.

A woman as tall and almost frighteningly tall, with fair skin and such sex appeal as Veronica, is someone even the local aristocratic young men have never seen, let alone these street vendors.

When beauty reaches a certain level, a person will unconsciously carry an aura.

This aura acts like an invisible sieve, filtering out all those who are not qualified and leaving only those of equal standing with you.

Clearly, this vendor was one of those who were eliminated.

"How much is this, sir?"

Looking at Vera, who was taller than him, dressed boldly, and had a powerful aura, the small vendor was speechless for a moment.

"Ah, this... two, two copper coins."

The vendor hesitated for a moment, then blurted out the cost price of his goods.

Veronica smiled faintly: "If I need a lot, can you give me a discount?"

The vendor was so bewildered by Vera's smile that he blurted out something.

"Y-Yes, that's fine!"

In the end, Veranika bought what she wanted for half the price of her purchase price without any haggling.

Next, the next target...

Ryan looked at the increasing amount of luggage on the horse, then glanced at Veranika.

Indeed, a woman's greatest weapon is her beauty.

The procurement process went very smoothly. In just half a day, we obtained a sufficient amount of supplies at a cost far below the budget.

Both sides of the horse were laden with large and small packages of supplies.

Of course, this credit belongs to Veronica.

"Everyone else has already bought their things, so come with me to buy some things next."

Veronica subtly pinched the tip of Ryan's little finger.

This is her signature move.

Whenever she wanted to get close to Ryan, she would give him a gentle pinch.

It may seem like a dragonfly skimming the water, but it can still stir one's heartstrings.

"Actually, I ran out of the Water Moon Grass Cream I was using. As you know, the sun here is very strong and the wind is quite hot. Prolonged exposure to this environment can cause your skin to crack."

Ryan glanced at her: "Aren't you a fire mage?"

Veronica wasn't angry; she still wore a very tolerant smile: "That's your prejudice, you know."

"Fire magic can't help my skin with sun protection and moisture retention. So, I'll have to trouble you to come with me."

After saying that, he took Ryan's hand and led him toward the center of the market.

The market in Anseth City was vast, filled with merchants from all over the world. As the two gradually approached the central area, the view opened up before them.

This is a very spacious circular plaza with a flower bed full of greenery in the center, surrounded by rings of shops.

The vendors were enthusiastically hawking their wares, attracting the attention of passersby who would pull out their money pouches.

Soon, the two arrived at a stall selling women's face cream.

The boss was a very talkative middle-aged woman. When she saw Veranika and then looked at Ryan beside her, her eyes lit up.

Hehe, business is here!

"Hey buddy over there, it's so hot out there, do you want to buy your girlfriend some sunscreen?"

Veronica was overjoyed upon hearing this and took Ryan's little finger as she walked over.

"Boss, do you have any good face creams?"

The female shop owner quickly listed a whole bunch of bottles and jars, excitedly introducing them to Veranica, and occasionally praising Veranica's appearance in a roundabout way.

"Young man, your girlfriend has such beautiful skin. She must be a lady from some noble family."

"Let me tell you, this Water Moon Grass Cream is a bestseller here! Even that young lady from the Rema family comes here to buy it!"

The young lady of the Rema family naturally refers to Maggie.

After all, this is Anselm City, and she is the highest-ranking young woman the female boss could think of.

Vera Nika picked up the cream, unscrewed it, and took a sniff. The moisturizing fragrance was refreshing.

The quality is indeed quite good.

The entire purchase process went very smoothly; there were thirteen bottles in total, and Veronica didn't even have to haggle.

The female boss was all smiles, and waved to Ryan and Veranika before leaving.

"Young man! Cherish your girlfriend!"

It's clear that Veronica is very happy to be flattered by the female boss.

On the way back, Veronica wasn't as talkative as she had been on the way there. She gently squeezed Ryan's little finger, as if she was thinking about something.

Finally, after leaving the market, Veranika spoke her mind.

“Mentor Ryan…sometimes, I have a feeling.”

"Oh? What does it feel like?"

"I feel like you've been worried about something all along."

What are the concerns?

Ryan was a little confused by Veranika's seemingly random words.

Why would you ask that?

Veranika stopped and looked at Ryan with a very complicated expression.

"Look, for example, right now, I'm holding your little finger. I think if you didn't want to, you would just shake it off, right?"

But you didn't do that.

"I think you actually have some feelings for him, don't you?"

Ryan was silent.

Honestly, it would be problematic if a beauty like Vera Nika refused.

Ryan is a normal person, and of course he has desires.

Veronica's long legs are a perfect match for Orina and Claire's.

I would be so happy to have those long legs draped over my shoulders.

Seeing through Ryan's thoughts, Veronica took a step closer to him, closing the distance between them so that Ryan could easily reach out and grasp her firm, elastic breasts beneath her deep-V blouse.

“You know what, Mentor Ryan?”

"Actually, even if a woman were to die, she wouldn't do that to someone she hates."

"The reason I did this is because I hope something will happen next..."

Veranika's words deeply shocked Ryan.

"I can tell you have the same idea..."

"However, you seem to be worried about something, so you've been holding back. That's a very good quality, and that's why I have even more goodwill towards you."

"But... women actually prefer to be more passive."

Veranica blushed as she spoke.

"Moreover, men who are proactive and aggressive are actually more attractive to women."

Although Veronica didn't spell it out, Ryan wasn't stupid; he understood the meaning behind her words.

Since transmigrating to this world, Ryan still carries some of the values ​​and behavioral norms of his original world.

After all, in the original world, doing something rashly to a girl and getting ganged up on by boxers is no joke.

At that time, in addition to social death, some serious cases may even result in imprisonment.

It was precisely this kind of thinking that bound him.

In a way, this kind of thinking can also be considered a shackle.

Therefore, even though Claire and Olena have already hinted at it to a certain extent, taking that final step will still take some time.

That's why Ryan rejected the seemingly invincible cheat code that God had given him.

Veranika is right.

He does have concerns.

But in this magical world, is this kind of concern considered an anomaly?

So, why did Ryan end up traveling to this world?

After transmigrating, why did he awaken this cheat ability that allows him to become stronger by having sex with girls?

Ryan looked up at the clear sky above him, recalling his past experiences in that world.

He's nearly forty, yet he's never even held a girl's hand.

The only way I can relieve stress is by playing those butter games on my computer.

That period of my life can only be described as tragic.

Now, even after transmigrating, he is still bound by the shackles of his former world.

Perhaps he was never fully integrated into this world from the very beginning.

The words Claire, Orina, and Tracy had once said to him echoed softly in his ears.
