Before long, the silence was broken.
Grrr...
The strange sound rang out, and Yao Ziyan's pretty face instantly flushed scarlet.
Only now did she remember that several days had passed since she had been ambushed after undergoing her tribulation and forced to flee.
During that time, she had not had so much as a drop of water.
Although cultivators could rely on Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to sustain their basic needs, that was never a long-term solution.
Moreover, although Yao Ziyan's injuries had healed, the exhaustion in her mind was not so easily recovered from.
"You're hungry?"
Luo Chuan looked at the shy girl before him and asked directly.
Yao Ziyan could only nod with a faint blush. If she still insisted that she was not hungry now, it would seem rather affected.
With a sigh, Luo Chuan had already made his decision.
"Wait here. I'll make you something to eat."
With that, Luo Chuan headed for the kitchen that came with the small store.
Normally, Luo Chuan solved his meals at the nearby restaurants.
Besides, with Bu Lige contributing to the store's turnover every day, Luo Chuan was naturally no longer short on money.
Of the owner's ten-percent share, Luo Chuan had the system set aside one-tenth separately as his savings.
Looking at the rather modern-looking kitchen, Luo Chuan felt somewhat helpless for a moment.
In ordinary times, he had never cooked for himself. He always ate at the restaurants on the street.
Who would have thought that he would need to cook now?
Luo Chuan even suspected that the system had anticipated this day and thoughtfully equipped the room with a kitchen.
"Forget it. I'll make scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cook a bowl of noodles."
With a sigh, Luo Chuan made his decision.
However, there were no plants like tomatoes on Tianlan Continent.
"System, conjure up 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-selling system!" the system's righteous voice rang out.
"Got it, got it." Luo Chuan nodded solemnly. "Hurry up and conjure the tomatoes and eggs."
System: ...
In the end, the system still produced the tomatoes and eggs for Luo Chuan.
Naturally, it did not forget to provide a portion of dried noodles as well.
A moment later, waves of fragrance filled the kitchen.
"Eat." Luo Chuan brought the noodles and scrambled eggs with tomatoes before Yao Ziyan.
The food Luo Chuan made was indeed no match for that of master chefs, but in Yao Ziyan's eyes, it was no less than supreme delicacies.
When a person was hungry to the extreme, even a plain steamed bun would taste wonderfully sweet. This was an eternal truth.
"Thank you," Yao Ziyan said softly.
Her heart, usually as still as an ancient well, rippled with wave after wave of emotion.
When someone extended a helping hand at a person's most helpless moment, it was easiest to enter her heart. That was precisely the situation now.
But clearly, Luo Chuan, single in both his lives, had not realized this.
Yao Ziyan had initially been somewhat reserved, but once the food entered her mouth, she could no longer care about such things. Very quickly, she cleaned the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and the bowl of noodles spotless.
Seeing that Yao Ziyan had finished eating, Luo Chuan stood and cleaned everything up.
"The washroom is beside this room. Rest here tonight. I'll be leaving first."
With that, he left the room.
After all, Luo Chuan had saved Yao Ziyan only on a whim, not for any particular purpose.
Watching Luo Chuan's departing figure, Yao Ziyan's lips moved, yet she said nothing.
Luo Chuan's actions greatly changed the heart that Yao Ziyan had once filled with hatred for humans.
In Yao Ziyan's eyes, Luo Chuan was an peerless expert hidden within the city.
She now understood somewhat that although insane human cultivators certainly existed, humans who treated demonic beasts kindly also existed.
That was right.
In Yao Ziyan's eyes, Luo Chuan had surely known her identity as a demonic beast long ago.
After all, the traits of purple hair and purple eyes were simply too easy to recognize.
It was precisely because of this that Yao Ziyan had always covered herself completely in a black robe when working as an assassin.
