"Ah~!" Christine, transformed into a girl in the light, lazily stretched and yawned.

"Master!" Upon seeing Bexia, Christine hugged his neck, which had become a daily greeting for them. But this kind of intimacy was not something an ordinary person could enjoy.

"Alright, you can let go now!" Bexia looked at the weapon girl in his arms helplessly. It was embarrassing to be in such close contact with a beautiful girl all day long, and she had no idea about personal boundaries. It happened every time!

"Can I sleep next to master for a while?" Christine blinked her innocent eyes and pleaded.

"No!" Bexia firmly refused her request. He had learned his lesson last time when he believed her nonsense and ended up carrying her around all day. Even though Christine, being a weapon, was practically weightless, it was still inconvenient for Bexia.

"There's a banquet going on here, and I heard there's delicious food. After sleeping for so long, you must be hungry. Let's go find something to eat!" Bexia suggested, trying to get rid of Christine who was clinging onto him.

"As a weapon, I don't have to eat. Didn't master forget about it?" Christine said.

"But if I really say so, you'll be responsible if you faint!" Christine brought her face close to Bexia's, and there was almost no distance between them. Her lips lightly brushed against his cheek.

"Don't act like a child!" Bexia pushed Christine away helplessly.

"Let's go eat! I can smell something delicious." Christine grabbed Bexia's arm. He was already used to this gesture, so he didn't resist and let Christine lead him.

The banquet was held in the backyard. The dazzling lights guided Bexia in the right direction. With Christine's half-hearted help, they made their way into the crowded crowd. Groups of people were chatting together, some wearing luxurious dresses and others wearing magic robes emitting strong magical fluctuations. There were even some warriors wearing armor talking and laughing.

"Master hasn't eaten anything all day. Let's go eat first, okay?" Christine pulled Bexia towards a table with food. It was the least crowded area.

"Cat and Zeya are over there. Let's go join them!" Bexia spotted Cat and Zeya on the other side of the venue.

"How can master disturb Cat and Zeya's emotional exchange at a time like this?" Christine also glanced in that direction but suddenly became attracted to one of Cat's actions. Her eyes lit up. At the same time, Bexia's stomach growled, betraying his hunger. He hadn't eaten anything all day, after all. He had been nauseous throughout the journey, so how could there be anything left in his stomach?

"Master, look at your stomach. Let's go already! There's so much delicious food over there!"

Being half-dragged and half-led by Christine, Bexia didn't think too much about it. After all, he was really hungry, and the food on the table looked delicious. Just the smell alone made his appetite soar.

"These seem to be monster meat!" Bexia glanced and could tell the information of many of the dishes. It was thanks to his studies with Bor.

"Master, try this giant lobster. Here... Ah~!" Christine held a fork and made a playful gesture as if coaxing a child.

"I'm not a child. I can do it myself."

"Does master not need Christine anymore?" Christine looked at Bexia with a pitiful expression, as if about to cry. Seeing this, Bexia couldn't help but feel a headache.

Christine felt useless because Bexia had gone and bought a new sword, not using her anymore. To be honest, every time he held Christine, he couldn't help but think that his weapon was a girl. It made him hesitate and not exert too much force during battles, afraid of hurting her.

Although Christine repeatedly claimed to be a weapon, Bexia had already regarded her as a person deep in his heart, so no matter what he said, he couldn't get over that hurdle in his mind.

"Alright then! I'll eat it." Bexia opened his mouth and bit into the lobster meat, swallowing it regardless of the taste.

"Is it delicious?" Christine, who was now wearing a smile on her face, made Bexia feel that she might have a dark side. However, he couldn't say much about it. Mainly because he was too soft-hearted and he saw Christine as a sister-like figure. He couldn't bear to say anything to her, so he accommodated everything.

Bexia was too busy eating and didn't notice that the people around him looked at him with a hint of contempt. Firstly, his plain attire didn't leave a good impression on these important figures. After all, the level of this banquet was not low, and the whole scene was like Bexia, dressed like a country bumpkin. How could these high-minded people find it pleasing to the eye?

Bexia didn't attract much attention, but Christine on the side caught the eyes of many. After all, such a cute beauty would be dazzling wherever she went. And as a weapon transformed into a human body, every part of Christine emitted a fluctuation of magic power, just like someone wearing a powerful magic equipment.

"Miss, may I have the honor of having a dance with you?" an elegant voice came from behind Bexia, and a handsome young man smiled and invited Christine.

"Who are you talking about? Do I know you?" Christine casually glanced at the young man, then looked at Bexia, her eyes filled with a gentle expression. It was like heaven and earth compared to her expression when facing the young man!

Seeing this scene, many people around couldn't help but laugh. Some laughed at the embarrassment of the young man being rejected, while others mocked Christine's ignorance.

"Shh! Stop laughing, or Reyne will get angry. He is the heir of the Pein family!" a lady reminded the middle-aged man next to her in a low voice.

"The Pein family!! Aren't they one of the three major families in Mandala?!" The middle-aged man looked at the young man in astonishment. Although he was of noble status himself, he was nowhere near the Pein family. These three families were even stronger than the dukes, and in Mandala, they were like local tyrants, even kings.

"Miss, I am the heir of the Pein family. I sincerely invite you. Please don't...!" Reyne's mouth curled into a cold smile. He had encountered countless cold-hearted women, but as soon as they heard his name, they would all fawn over him like dogs. But today, he was destined to be humiliated because Christine was not an ordinary woman, and Bexia was not afraid of him. So there was only one phrase to answer him:

"Get lost!"
