My wife is a witch princess.

"...Okay, I'll walk faster."

Xia Li was walking with a serious expression on her face as she struggled to take steps down the descending escalator. Although she was walking very fast, the distance to the second floor did not decrease at all. It seemed that the magic that prevented her from moving here could also be activated without magic power.

The problem lies in the road beneath our feet, but the road looks perfectly normal and is moving normally.

"Xia Li, get down."

"……Um?"

"You've gone the wrong way, come this way."

"……it is good."

She obediently got off and moved to the escalator next to Song Che, her doubts lessened by half.

This time, she closed the distance to the second floor with almost no effort.

It turned out to be a problem with the road, not with her.

"Didn't I say to ask me first if you have any questions? Did you see something you want to buy?" Song Che asked.

Xia Li glanced at the second floor and followed her gaze to see a retro Western-style broom hanging on the wall of the home furnishing area.

"You want that one?"

"……Um."

You still have the nerve?

He wants to fly around on a broomstick, break his other leg, and then trick me out of my allowance.

"I won't buy it." Song Che refused decisively.

"...I need to wash..."

"I won't buy you the dishes, clothes, or brooms. I don't like those things."

Song Che was straightforward, directly eliminating any possibility of discussion and minimizing any unexpected items before Xia Li's cognitive abilities returned to normal.

Xia Li lowered her head and silently put her cold little hands into her pockets. Everyone has different preferences, and she couldn't force others to do what they wanted. Respecting others' preferences was respecting herself.

She understands.

But she really liked that broom. It looked exactly like the previous one, but unfortunately it was broken in two and completely ruined.

The fierce-looking Song Che was unwilling to lend him money.

Then the only option is to accept bounty missions, earn some money, and then buy it.

Xia Li had already planned out her money-making strategy.

Killing a village-level target yields about 500 silver coins, killing a pair yields 1000, and a magic broom usually costs 5 gold coins. According to the conversion in the Kingdom of Hit, you only need to kill 10 commissioned targets to earn enough money.

Killing ten village chiefs here shouldn't be a problem. The question is, where is the Adventurers' Guild?

"Lift your leg and get down."

Song Che's words interrupted her thoughts, and Xia Li subconsciously lifted her leg and stepped down from the escalator.

Song Che had already pushed the cart to the wall, reached out and took the vintage broom, and tossed it into the shopping cart.

"You can buy it. But the premise is that you absolutely, absolutely cannot try to fly on it. Understand? Newton, you know... Okay, you don't, ask him next time you want to fly. If he lets you fly, I have no problem with it. If he doesn't let you fly, you can turn him upside down and it won't do you any good."

"Yes, I understand... I'll go and flip his coffin lid."

Xia Li abandoned the idea of ​​killing ten people and silently added a note to the bill for Song Che—she owed Song Che five gold coins, which she would repay as soon as she had time.

Song Che pushed the cart through the elderly women and men who were scrambling for vegetables, and led Xia Li to the women's section. The various winter clothes immediately made Xia Li look up. She was finally going to get rid of this ill-fitting nightgown.

"You can pick out a shirt and a pair of pants, and then go buy the rest," Song Che defined the options.

Xia Li made her selections quickly, picking out a purple sweatshirt for 79 yuan and a pair of fleece-lined jeans for 59 yuan.

She glanced at the broom in the cart, then looked back at the clothes in her hands, and asked softly:

Do you like this?

"Try it on first to see if it fits." Song Che pointed to the fitting room. "Go in, draw the curtain, change your clothes, but don't change your pants yet. Let the sales assistant help you check the size."

Xia Li, carrying two pieces of clothing, hesitated before going inside. This time, she didn't need to change her pants, and she quickly came out.

When the curtain was pulled back again, she stepped out. Her purple sweatshirt made her skin appear even whiter, and her silver hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders, making her look like a silver-haired fairy.

"This is it." Song Che nodded and placed the order immediately.

The sales assistant had been observing from the side. She walked over with a smile, her sharp eyes taking in Xia Li's leg length and waist size. She quickly took out a pair of better-fitting fleece-lined jeans from the shelf and handed them to her: "Girl, try these on. The size should be more suitable for you."

Xia Li took it and glanced at the price tag hanging on her waistband: 199 yuan.

She didn't speak, but silently looked at Song Che, her eyes clearly saying, 'This one is more expensive than the previous one.'

Song Che ignored the sales assistant's enthusiastic introduction about the fabric, style, and warmth, and only asked Xia Li one question: "Can I wear this?"

Xia Li nodded gently.

"Okay, I'll take this one too. If I buy a good one, I can wear it for longer." Song Che put the pants into the shopping cart and pushed the cart to the next section.

Xia Li's ankle was uncomfortable, so she couldn't wear normal shoes. Plus, she already had some boots at home, so slippers were a good option for now. After buying a top and pants, the next step was to buy daily necessities and small clothes that only girls need.

He doesn't mind buying everyday items, but he doesn't mind buying small clothes for Xia Li.

...It hurts.

Chapter 14 This student, please pay attention to hygiene.

Song Che had no idea what this guy was thinking. Xia Li had taken a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, a cup, two towels, a pair of socks, and a comb.

They all share two common characteristics.

First, it's inexpensive; second, it has an overall purplish hue.

Each time she picked up an item, she would ask herself what she thought of it and whether she could buy it. Only after she agreed would she put it in the cart. Then she would glance at the broom with concern. After putting down one item, her mind would go blank for a moment. She would then pick up another item. Although her face was still stern, her attitude had improved considerably.

Especially since she didn't say anything strange again, Song Che was slightly relieved. With a little effort, the witch could still evolve into a monkey.

The procurement of general daily necessities is basically complete. The next step is a 'challenge': women's daily necessities.

Song Che had never understood how to use this thing, what size, type, and material to buy. It seemed there were nighttime and daytime versions too… It was completely a blind spot in his knowledge, so even Ultraman wouldn't be able to buy it correctly.

Song Che and Xia Li pushed the stroller over, staring at each other. He stood there for a long time, unable to come up with a suitable opening line, while Xia Li, as always, remained expressionless, pretending to be a blank-minded person.

The atmosphere was so tense it was almost palpable.

"...I have a question for you." Song Che spoke slowly, his tone dry, "You...do you use magic to deal with your period?"

"……Um?"

"It's like a woman's menstrual cycle, where she might experience lower abdominal discomfort or mood swings on a certain day or a few days each month. Is it made of linen?" Song Che rubbed his temples, forcing a smile. "...Do you have any requirements regarding size or... type?"

After asking the question, he wanted to bite his tongue. Is it okay to ask this kind of question directly?

"……Oh."

Xia Li felt he was exaggerating. Her emotions were usually stable. Xia Li looked up at the row of packages. She didn't understand the sizes and types. Usually, they were a combination of linen and cleansing spells. Now that the magic was gone, she wasn't sure. She couldn't understand these packages.

Thinking...

Xia Li is a stubborn person; if she can't figure something out, she'll keep thinking about it. Song Che was left out, and the awkwardness continued to escalate. Song Che unilaterally wanted to escape this women's products section. Buying big or small... it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Just as embarrassment was about to overwhelm Song Che, a saleswoman in uniform walked over at the right time. She smiled and said, "Do you two need any help? Would you like to buy sanitary napkins or tampons? We have promotional items and new releases."

Savior!

Song Che felt tears welling up inside him, so he quickly took two steps back to make room for her, giving her a look that said, 'It's up to you now.'

The sales assistant nodded in understanding and enthusiastically introduced, "Is this your first time choosing on your own, little sister? Judging from your appearance, you need to prepare some day and night items. This one has a pure cotton surface, which is more skin-friendly, and that one is ultra-thin and breathable. There are some others that are cheaper, but I don't recommend choosing them, as the fabric is of lower quality and not good for the skin. As for the size, don't worry at all, they generally all fit..."

Xia Li listened very attentively, nodding occasionally in agreement. After the sales assistant finished speaking, she reached out and selected a purple-packaged day and night combo set from the shelf, which was on sale for a low price and in large quantities.

Then, she did something that petrified Song Che and froze the saleswoman's smile—she handed the pack of sanitary napkins directly to Song Che and asked in the same calm tone she used when asking him to buy a toothbrush and towel, "Do you like this? Can you buy it for me?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

Song Che: "I...I..."

He opened his mouth, feeling the blood rush to his head. After living for decades, this was the first time he stammered and couldn't speak. He felt so dizzy that he wanted to hang himself with a noodle.

Xia Li! Why don't you just kill me with magic?! Don't ask me questions like that!!

The sales assistant looked on with suspicion, her gaze shifting back and forth between Song Che and Xia Li. A subtle hint of disdain crept into her professional smile. After reassessing the way the 'young couple' interacted, she chose to 'respect' them, but she didn't understand.

She winked meaningfully, then offered her advice with a hint of seriousness, "Excuse me... sir, women's sanitary products are for health, preventing illness, and facilitating daily activities; they have no other use. Of course, I understand if you like them, but I suggest you buy them over there..."

The sales assistant pointed to the shopping area across the street, which was a women's clothing store. Women were coming and going, and occasionally a man would accompany them, but they all had expressionless faces. It was obvious that they were all pretending.

"Actually... I don't have any special fetishes..."

Song Che tried to explain that it was all a misunderstanding, and that Xia Li was just speaking without thinking and without considering the situation.

"Yes, I understand, sir. I respect all your ideas."

"Really, she didn't mean anything by it. She just didn't really understand and wanted to ask me if she could buy it... Okay, I don't really understand either, but... it's like buying a towel or a toothbrush, you know, you check the quality and see if it's suitable."

"Yes, sir, I understand you, but you need to pay attention to hygiene. Generally speaking, sanitary napkins only have a practical function. I haven't found any other uses for them yet. Hygiene is the most important thing for girls."

The sales assistant smiled again and made room for Song Che to go to the small clothes section, but Song Che could clearly see the subtle hint of disdain in her eyes.

You don't understand anything. Go and reflect on your own.

It's truly a river of sorrow flowing backwards...

Song Che's expression became as clear and aloof as Xia Li's. He pushed the cart and 'calmly' picked out four purple-packaged packs, pretending to read the instructions. The instructions were short, but Song Che didn't read a single word; he only focused on the type of product.

For daytime use, nighttime use, regular use, and leak prevention.

Since size isn't an issue, let's buy everything at once. Next time, we'll definitely buy online. This was purely accidental; Xia Li tricked me. That little girl is so wicked!

Pushing the shopping cart away, Song Che didn't dare look back even once. Right now, his mind was filled with the saleswoman's subtle disdain, and the mocking expressions she and her girlfriends would give him after get off work.

Song Che clenched his fingers and said in a low voice, "Your Highness Xia Li, when we go to buy some clothes later, just pick what you like. You don't need to ask me if I like it or not. As long as you like it, I'll buy it for you."

"……it is good."

Xia Li found Song Che very strange. She had emphasized many times when buying brooms that she should ask him before buying anything, and that she shouldn't buy anything if he didn't like it, even if she washed the dishes or clothes herself. But now she was saying that she could buy anything as long as she liked it.

Xia Li was unsure and didn't understand whether Song Che would let her buy whatever she wanted. The best way was to take it to Song Che for a look, and only buy it if it wasn't the type he disliked.
