THE OMNISTORE SYSTEM - Chapter 326 Celin's

Chapter 326 Celin’s

Lora tilted her head in confusion at Kevin’s remark, making him chuckle. “Nothing,” he said. “Is everyone ready? Tell them not to pack anything, just get dressed and come down. We’re going shopping first, then heading off to our holiday spot.”

Lora nodded, deciding not to press the issue about his cryptic comment. “Everyone’s ready and packed. We were just waiting for you,” she said. Opening the door, she shouted, “Mom, Aunt Maria, Kevin’s here! He said don’t pack anything, just get in the car.” Remembering something, she added, “Oh, and Kevin bought a new car!” Turning back to Kevin, she asked in a normal tone, “It’s yours, right?”

Kevin nodded with a smile, and he heard excited voices from inside. “He did? Really?”

It was his sister Riya who came down the stairs excitedly. Before even looking at her brother’s face, she started checking out the ride he just bought. As she caressed the black surface of the car, she muttered with a wide smile, “It’s so smooth and beautiful.”

Kevin smirked and, with a smile, commented on Riya’s transformed blue eyes. “It is, but not as beautiful as someone I know,” he said while stroking the car door he was sitting near.

Riya looked up at him, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. “Oh yeah? And who’s that?”

Kevin grinned, “You, of course.”

Riya playfully rolled her eyes. “Nice try, smooth talker.”

Lora stared at Kevin in surprise. The last time she saw him, he wasn’t this talkative or willing to admit his feelings. ‘He wasn’t this happy,’ she thought to herself, noticing his smile. Admiring the ride he bought, she said, “But I have to admit, this car is pretty impressive.”

Kevin chuckled, “Glad you like it. Now hurry up and get in. We’ve got a fun day ahead, and I don’t want to keep the rest of the family waiting.”

Riya, still smiling, walked around to the passenger side door. “Alright, alright. But you better have some good plans for today.”

As she said this, his mother and aunt came down, both of them still following the tradition of covering their bodies with clothes, only leaving their eyes exposed.

Kevin wasn’t really against or supportive of this practice, but a part of him wished they would hide their beautiful faces from others. He wanted their beauty to be something only he could see, to have it exclusively for his eyes. However, not wanting to dominate or force them into submission, he compromised his desires and accepted what he could get without imposing on them.

Kevin chose the path of subtle manipulation instead, finding it more enjoyable. He turned to Riya, who was sitting next to him, and asked, “Your studies are finished, right?”Geett the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om

Riya nodded, replying, “I was just keeping up with them in case I couldn’t cultivate, but now that I can, it wasn’t that important. Still, I completed my course.”

Kevin nodded in understanding. She was right; mortal education only occasionally bore fruit, whereas cultivation education was far more advanced, blending science and mystical practices into one comprehensive field.

Many ordinary humans chose to study whatever could help them become cultivators. Teenagers who had already begun their cultivation journey often joined institutes specializing in training them in the cultivation fields.

So it didn’t matter if Riya finished her regular studies or not. As Kevin started the car, Maria asked, “Where are you taking us now?”

Kevin was about to answer when Lora chimed in, “He said he’s taking us shopping.”

“Shopping?” Riya exclaimed loudly, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she looked at Kevin.

Kevin chuckled at her reaction and nodded. “Yeah, first shopping, and after that…” He paused before controlling his smile and asked, “But first, tell me, have either of you ever been out of the city before?”

All four of them looked at each other with confusion before shaking their heads. None of them had ever ventured beyond the city walls. Mortals were not allowed to travel outside the city, and they had all been mortal until just a few months ago. Even Kevin himself had only traveled outside after becoming a cultivator, so it was unlikely that any of them had experienced it before.

Kevin knew this already. He just wanted to keep things interesting. So, with a grin, he said, “Get ready for an adventure. We’re heading to Misty Mountains.”

Everyone looked surprised, especially Lora. She blurted out, “Misty Mountains? That’s one of the top ten most beautiful spots in Kyesore Kingdom, right?”

Kevin nodded, confirming Lora’s excitement. “Yep, that’s the one. It’s also the first cultivation ground I went to hunt after becoming a cultivator.”

“Seriously?” Lora’s excitement soared. “Which monster did you hunt there? I heard there are loads of insect-type monsters there. Did you know the reason? It’s said a really powerful Qi cultivator’s body is buried there, and because of his proficiency in controlling insects, it bare lot of instenct monsters? What do you think?”

As Kevin listened, she kept bombarding him with questions and sharing information. Even as they went shopping, she didn’t let up for a minute. Kevin just nodded or shook his head in response, while the other three remained silent. Sometimes, Maria laughed amusedly at Lora’s barrage of questions, while Emma tried to quiet her daughter with a glare. But Lora didn’t stop until they reached their first destination: the clothing store.

Emma couldn’t tolerate her daughter’s incessant questioning any longer. Finally, she said with a frustrated tone, “Lora, stop asking questions. You can look at it everything you are curious about when we get there.”

Lora looked embarrassed as her mother intervened and glanced apologetically at Kevin. “Sorry, I got carried away.”

“Don’t worry, you can ask as much as you want, but let’s buy some clothes first,” Kevin said. He was getting tired of her questions, but he didn’t want to be mean to her.

“We’re shopping at Celin’s?” Riya exclaimed excitedly as Kevin pulled up in front of the clothing store. He nodded, parking the car.

Celin’s was known for its luxurious clothing, so her excitement was completely understandable.
