The townsfolk rejoiced in their hearts as they all stood up, rustling to their feet.
Men, women, the elderly, and children all gathered around, of course, with women making up the majority.
In such a remote and small town, everyone was poor.
Once people become poor, no matter how attractive they are, they are but empty shells devoid of a soul.
It was the first time they had seen someone who seemed like a deity descended to earth.
Naturally, they wanted to get closer.
Especially those unwed girls.
There weren't many prestigious families in this small town; most of the residents were merchants.
Being a hub for traders from all directions and walks of life, the local customs had gradually become more open over time.
Without too many protocols and rules, a young man and a girl could easily get together if they took a fancy to each other.
So, upon seeing such a man, the girls went crazy, pushing forward.
