The System's Stubbornness

The silence was quickly broken.

Gurgle gurgle~

An unusual sound rang out, and Yao Ziyan's pretty face instantly turned bright red.

Only now did she remember that several days had passed since she was ambushed, attacked, and forced to flee after her tribulation.

And during this time, she hadn't had a single drop of water.

While cultivators could sustain themselves with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it wasn't a long-term solution.

Furthermore, although Yao Ziyan's injuries had already healed, the mental fatigue was not so easily recovered.

"Are you hungry?"

Luo Chuan looked at the somewhat shy girl in front of him and asked directly.

Yao Ziyan could only nod with a slight blush. To say she wasn't hungry now would seem pretentious.

Sighing, Luo Chuan had already made up his mind.

"Wait, I'll go make you something to eat."

With that, Luo Chuan went to the kitchen attached to the small shop.

Normally, Luo Chuan's meals were handled by nearby restaurants.

Since Bu Lige was now contributing to the daily turnover, Luo Chuan was naturally not short on money.

From the shop owner's ten percent commission, Luo Chuan had the System extract one-tenth of it to be saved as his personal deposit.

Looking at the rather modern kitchen, Luo Chuan felt a bit helpless.

Usually, he never cooked himself; he always ate at restaurants on the street.

He never expected that he would actually need to cook now!

Luo Chuan even suspected that the System had anticipated this day and thoughtfully equipped the room with a kitchen.

"Never mind, I'll stir-fry some scrambled eggs with tomatoes and boil a bowl of noodles."

Sighing, Luo Chuan made his decision.

However, on the Tianlan Continent, tomatoes were not a known plant.

"System, create two tomatoes and two eggs," Luo Chuan called out in his mind.

"Host, please note that this System is the Strongest Store Manager System, not a vegetable sales system!" the System's righteous voice sounded.

"Got it, got it," Luo Chuan nodded seriously. "Hurry up and create the tomatoes and eggs."

System: ...

In the end, the System did produce the tomatoes and eggs for Luo Chuan.

Of course, it also didn't forget to add a portion of dried noodles.

A moment later, a fragrant aroma filled the kitchen.

"Eat up." Luo Chuan brought the noodles and scrambled eggs with tomatoes to Yao Ziyan.

The food Luo Chuan made was indeed not comparable to that of master chefs, but in Yao Ziyan's eyes, it was no less than supreme cuisine.

If a person is extremely hungry, even a steamed bun would be incredibly sweet; this is an age-old truth.

"Thank you," Yao Ziyan said softly.

Her usually calm and undisturbed heart stirred with ripples because of this.

Reaching out a hand to help someone in their most desperate moment is the easiest way to win their heart, and this was precisely the situation.

However, it was clear that Luo Chuan, who had been single for two lifetimes, did not realize this.

Yao Ziyan was initially a little reserved, but once the food entered her mouth, she couldn't hold back any longer and quickly finished the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and the bowl of noodles.

Seeing Yao Ziyan finish her meal, Luo Chuan stood up and cleaned everything up.

"The washroom is next door. You can rest here tonight. I'm leaving."

With that, he left the room.

After all, Luo Chuan had saved Yao Ziyan on impulse, not for any particular reason.

Watching Luo Chuan's retreating back, Yao Ziyan's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Luo Chuan's actions had significantly changed the hatred she harbored towards humans in her heart.

In Yao Ziyan's eyes, Luo Chuan was a peerless expert hidden within the city.

She was beginning to understand that while there were indeed insane human cultivators, there were also humans who were friendly towards demonic beasts.

That's right.

In Yao Ziyan's opinion, Luo Chuan must have known her identity as a demonic beast long ago.

After all, the characteristic of purple hair and purple eyes was too easy to recognize.

It was precisely because of this that Yao Ziyan always covered her entire body with a black robe when she was an assassin.
