The Hidden Effects of Spicy Strips

"Ah, refreshing!"

After drinking more than half a bottle of Cola, Bu Lige couldn't help but exclaim.

As for Bu Shiyi, she was much more reserved.

Then the three of them tore open the packaging of the Spicy Strips and thoroughly enjoyed the deliciousness.

Seeing their expressions, Yao Ziyan felt a bit curious.

Were these things really that tasty?

The Cola and Spicy Strips weren't in large quantities, and they finished them in no time.

Feeling the surging power within them slowly subside, the three of them had mixed feelings.

"I feel like if I ate a bit more Spicy Strips, I might be able to directly break through to Divine Soul rank six!" Bu Shiyi said, looking at her palm with some surprise.

Luo Chuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.

"System, do these Spicy Strips also help people break through?" Luo Chuan asked in his mind.

"Spicy Strips can only allow one to temporarily break through their own realm. However, after experiencing the strength of a higher realm, breaking through will become relatively easier. The lower the realm, the more obvious the effect," the System replied.

"Spicy Strips are indeed helpful for breakthroughs," Luo Chuan's voice reached the ears of the three. "Consider it a hidden effect."

"I've decided! I'm coming here to buy them every day from now on!" Jiang Shengjun said with determined eyes.

Bu Lige pouted. "Heh, I've been doing that for a long time."

"By the way, boss, His Majesty actually sent me a bottle of Cola this morning. Did he buy it from you?" Bu Lige suddenly remembered something and asked.

Cola bought from me?

Luo Chuan pondered for a moment and thought of Elder Bai from yesterday.

Didn't he say he was a worshipper of the royal family?

Luo Chuan nodded. "That's right, someone named Bai Hong bought it."

He found it a bit amusing.

The Emperor of the Tianxing Empire, whom he had never met, was quite adept at this 'borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha' tactic.

Seeing that Bu Lige wanted to ask more, Luo Chuan said indifferently, "My shop has a rule: no one can break it."

Given the identities of the three, they were naturally extremely intelligent.

From Luo Chuan's single sentence, they guessed that the royal family likely intended to win him over, but he had ruthlessly refused.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would probably be flattered by the royal family's overtures, but someone like the boss probably wouldn't even care.

This, was the way of a true powerhouse?

For a moment, Bu Lige and the others felt a strong yearning for power.

After saying goodbye to Luo Chuan, the three left the small shop.

Yao Ziyan looked at Luo Chuan, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.

Luo Chuan had already guessed Yao Ziyan's thoughts. "Your daily wage from now on is one pack of Spicy Strips and one bottle of Cola."

Yao Ziyan's face lit up. "Boss, I understand!"

With that, she took the items from the shelf.

While the three were talking earlier, Yao Ziyan had already been curious about what these things tasted like to make them so infatuated.

What Yao Ziyan didn't know was that Luo Chuan had already let her drink a bottle of Cola last night.

She twisted open the cap, and a wave of icy air rushed towards her.

Without much hesitation, Yao Ziyan took a big gulp of Cola.

"Mmm..."

The unprecedented sensory stimulation made her eyes widen slightly.

Yao Ziyan now somewhat understood why the three had had that expression earlier.

It was simply because the Cola was so delicious!

After finishing the Cola, Yao Ziyan turned her gaze to the Spicy Strips beside her.

As a Demonic Beast, even though she had taken human form, Yao Ziyan didn't usually like spicy flavors.

However, since these were the shop's products, she naturally had to treat them with special consideration.

She tore open the packaging, and a fragrant, spicy aroma wafted towards her, causing her saliva to secrete wildly.

Yao Ziyan swallowed, took a small bite of the Spicy Strips.

Her eyes lit up slightly, then she took another bite, and another bite...

"Huh? That's it?"

Looking at the empty packaging in her hand, Yao Ziyan found it hard to believe.

She had only just started to taste the flavor, how could it be gone already?

This portion is too small, isn't it?

"How is it?"

Seeing Yao Ziyan's stunned expression, a smile appeared on Luo Chuan's face, so faint that it was almost unnoticeable.

"It's delicious! And the effects are quite potent!"

Yao Ziyan said solemnly.

At the same time, Luo Chuan's image in her mind became even more unfathomable.
