System's Reward

It only cost Ten Spirit Crystals, and it also allowed him to win over Marquis Zhennan. One had to admit, Ji Wuhui's imperial tactics were indeed formidable.

However, he never would have imagined that the first customer in Luo Chuan's shop would be Bu Lige!

Elder Bai nodded and agreed.

But his gaze towards Ji Wuhui was hesitant, as if he had something more to say.

"Elder Bai, is there something else?" Ji Wuhui asked with a smile.

Elder Bai glanced at Ji Wuhui and said, "Please don't be angry, Your Majesty, if I speak my mind."

"Hahaha..."

Ji Wuhui burst into laughter. "Elder Bai, please speak freely. As an emperor, I possess the necessary magnanimity."

Elder Bai: "That senior killed the Young Manor Lord of Silver Moon Manor, Chu Yunfei, in Jiuyao City."

Ji Wuhui: ...

"Hiss..."

Snapping back to reality, Ji Wuhui couldn't help but gasp, feeling a headache coming on.

He now understood why Elder Bai had said he would be angry. Wasn't it obvious?

The Young Manor Lord of Silver Moon Manor died in Jiuyao City. Even if it wasn't someone from their Tianxing Empire who did it, they couldn't escape responsibility.

However, since the one who acted was that terrifyingly powerful senior, Ji Wuhui couldn't exactly confront him.

After much thought, Ji Wuhui felt he was stuck with this blame...

"Forget it," Ji Wuhui sighed. "The Young Manor Lord of Silver Moon Manor died in Jiuyao City. That old man Chu Yangping definitely won't let this go. But my Tianxing Empire is not a place where they can act with impunity! If they dare to make a move here, I don't mind activating the city protection formation again!"

"Your Majesty is wise..."

The battle ended, the city protection formation dissipated, and the sky returned to its clear state.

The residents of Jiuyao City breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the crisis had passed.

Although almost everyone had witnessed the spectacular battle earlier, they were unaware that Luo Chuan, one of the main figures, was in a small alley in the eastern part of the city.

"This is rough. I should have used a Divine Soul projection too. That would have looked so cool!"

Leaning back in his rocking chair, Luo Chuan recalled the scene of him dominating the weak, ahem, the battle, and felt a pang of regret.

Luo Chuan was certain he wasn't doing it for shop advertising!

"System," he called out in his mind, feeling a bit bored.

"Yes, Host. What do you need?" the System's response sounded.

"I repelled the enemies of the shop. System, aren't you going to give me some lottery rewards or something?" Luo Chuan asked earnestly.

The System was silent for a moment, then replied, "The reward has been issued. Please check your inventory, Host."

Luo Chuan had been prepared for the System to ruthlessly refuse him. Hearing this reply, he almost couldn't react.

"As expected, System, you understand me after all!" Luo Chuan couldn't help but exclaim.

The System offered no reply and went back to its dormant state.

But Luo Chuan didn't mind.

After all, the most important thing for a person is to be content.

"Yo! Boss, still basking in the sun?"

A familiar voice.

A familiar catchphrase.

Luo Chuan knew who had arrived without even opening his eyes.

As he opened his eyes, Bu Lige's figure appeared before him.

Luo Chuan glanced at Bu Lige indifferently, with no intention of acknowledging him.

However, Bu Lige didn't mind. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Boss, was that commotion earlier caused by you?"

"Some idiot who couldn't see his place tried to mess with my shop. I dealt with him casually," Luo Chuan's calm voice replied.
