My Shop Still Lacks a Clerk

"What are your plans?" Luo Chuan asked as he looked at Yao Ziyan.

Plans?

Hearing Luo Chuan's words, Yao Ziyan could not help sinking into thought.

Now that her identity had been exposed, she certainly could not return to the Shadow Kill Ranking.

There were traitors within the Demon Race as well, so that was no good place to go either.

Moreover, the ruins were about to open, and the peace of the Jiuyao Mountain Range would not last much longer.

For a moment, Yao Ziyan could not think of anywhere that would take her in.

Seeing Yao Ziyan's expression, Luo Chuan had more or less guessed what was on her mind.

"Mission issued: As a man destined to become the strongest shopkeeper, how can he be a commander without troops? Please recruit a clerk for Origin Mall. Reward: one lottery draw."

At just the right moment, the system, which had been lurking underwater for so long, finally surfaced to make a ripple.

Recruit a clerk?

Looking at Yao Ziyan beside him, Luo Chuan came to a realization.

So, System, you had already set your sights on a candidate!

Yao Ziyan came back to her senses, shook her head, and sighed softly. "I don't know."

Luo Chuan pondered for a moment, then said, "My shop still lacks a clerk. Would you be willing to take the position?"

"Ding, scan complete!"

"Name: Yao Ziyan.

Identity: Member of the Royal Family of Beasts, first on the Shadow Kill Ranking.

Cultivation: Venerable First Rank."

As Luo Chuan turned his gaze toward Yao Ziyan, an Information Panel visible only to him appeared beside her.

It looked somewhat like the character information descriptions in domestic online games.

A member of the Royal Family of Beasts...

Luo Chuan seemed to understand something.

Did that not mean Yao Ziyan was actually a beast that had taken human form?

However, Luo Chuan was merely a little surprised. As an upstanding young man of Huaxia in his previous life, what great winds and waves had he not seen?

Besides, he had plenty of historical predecessors to look up to—Xu Xian, Ning Caichen, and the like...

Ahem. His thoughts had gone astray.

Getting back to the point, although he did not know what kind of organization the Shadow Kill Ranking was, it certainly did not sound simple.

And this girl's cultivation was quite formidable too. She actually possessed the strength of a Venerable.

Luo Chuan cast Yao Ziyan a somewhat astonished glance.

"System prompt: This person meets the recruitment requirements. It is recommended that the host take her as the proprietor's wife."

Luo Chuan: ...

System, you had changed!

You were no longer the pure system you used to be!

System: Heh heh.

Luo Chuan stopped paying attention to the system. With a flip of his palm, a sheet of white paper appeared out of thin air.

As if an invisible brush were writing, lines of black text appeared upon the paper.

Yao Ziyan's pupils suddenly contracted, and a trace of shock appeared in her eyes.

It was only a sheet of white paper, yet she actually sensed the power of laws from it!

Luo Chuan handed the paper to Yao Ziyan and said, "These are some requirements for becoming a clerk. If you agree, just drip a drop of your blood onto it."

Yao Ziyan had not intended to refuse in the first place. After taking the paper, she carefully read through it.

Though Yao Ziyan did not recognize the words on the paper, she could understand their meaning at a glance, which pleasantly surprised her.

The contents were not complicated, merely the rights and requirements of an Origin Mall clerk.

Yao Ziyan hesitated slightly, then lightly cut her fingertip.

The blood that flowed from her fingertip was purple.

Looking closely, there were even specks of starlight flickering within it!

Such a blood phenomenon could only be possessed by those of the Royal Family of Beasts with the purest bloodlines!

Luo Chuan quietly watched this scene, his expression calm.
