It was only ten spirit crystals, and he could use the opportunity to win over Marquis Zhennan as well. It had to be said that Ji Wuhui's imperial arts were indeed formidable.
But he never could have imagined that the first customer in Luo Chuan's shop would be Bu Lige!
Elder Bai nodded and accepted the order.
Yet when he looked at Ji Wuhui, his gaze was somewhat hesitant, as if words were caught at his lips.
"Elder Bai, is there something else?" Ji Wuhui asked with a smile.
Elder Bai glanced at Ji Wuhui. "If I say it, Your Majesty mustn't get angry."
"Hahaha..."
Ji Wuhui immediately burst into laughter. "Elder Bai, speak freely. As an emperor, I still possess the tolerance I should have."
Elder Bai said, "That senior killed Chu Yunfei, the Young Manor Lord of Silver Moon Manor, in Jiuyao City."
Ji Wuhui: ...
"Gasp..."
Coming back to his senses, Ji Wuhui could not help but suck in a cold breath, a headache rising in his mind.
He now understood why Elder Bai had said he would be angry. Wasn't it obvious?
The Young Manor Lord of Silver Moon Manor had died in Jiuyao City. Even if Tianxing Empire had not made the move, they could not escape involvement.
But the one who had acted was that senior with terrifying strength. Ji Wuhui could not exactly settle accounts with him.
After thinking it over and over, Ji Wuhui felt that he was destined to carry this blame...
"Forget it." Ji Wuhui sighed. "The Young Manor Lord of Silver Moon Manor died in Jiuyao City. That old fellow Chu Yangping definitely won't let this rest, but Tianxing Empire is not a place where they can do as they please!
If they dare make a move here, I wouldn't mind activating the city-protecting grand formation once more!"
"Your Majesty is wise..."
The battle ended, and the city-protecting grand formation dispersed. The sky became clear once again.
The residents of Jiuyao City all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the crisis had passed.
Although nearly everyone had witnessed the earth-shaking battle earlier, they did not know that Luo Chuan, one of its main figures, was in a small alley in the eastern part of the city.
"Damn, that felt bad. If I'd known, I would've used a Divine Soul Projection too. That would've looked so much more imposing!"
Lying in his rocking chair, Luo Chuan recalled how he had just crushed some noobs—cough, cough—the battle, and felt a little regretful.
Luo Chuan was certain that he definitely had not done it to advertise his shop!
"System." With nothing much to do, Luo Chuan called out in his mind.
"I'm here. What does the host need?" the system replied.
"I drove off the shop's enemy. Shouldn't you give me some kind of reward, like a lottery draw?" Luo Chuan asked seriously.
The system fell silent for a moment before replying, "The reward has already been issued. Please check it, host."
Luo Chuan had already prepared himself to be mercilessly rejected by the system. Upon hearing that answer, he nearly failed to react.
"As expected, System, you really understand me!" Luo Chuan could not help but sigh.
The system gave no answer and went back to lurking.
But Luo Chuan did not mind.
After all, the most important thing for a person was knowing contentment.
"Yo! Boss, still basking in the sun?"
A familiar voice.
A familiar catchphrase.
Luo Chuan did not even need to open his eyes to know who had arrived.
When he opened his eyes, Bu Lige's figure appeared before him.
Luo Chuan merely gave Bu Lige a faint glance, with no intention of acknowledging her.
But Bu Lige did not mind. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Boss, was that commotion earlier caused by you?"
"Some blind fool actually wanted to set his sights on my shop. I casually wiped him out," Luo Chuan said indifferently.
