"Whew, refreshing!"

After drinking more than half the bottle of Cola, Bu Lige could not help but sigh.

As for Bu Shiyi, she was much more reserved.

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

Watching their expressions, Yao Ziyan felt somewhat curious.

Were these things really that delicious?

There was not much Cola or Spicy Strips to begin with, and they were soon finished.

As the surging power within their bodies slowly subsided, the three of them each felt differently.

"I feel that if I ate a little more Spicy Strips, I might directly step into the Divine Soul Sixth Rank!" Bu Shiyi said in surprise as she looked at her palm.

Hearing this, Luo Chuan could not help raising an eyebrow slightly.

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

"Spicy Strips can only allow people to temporarily break through their current realm. However, after experiencing the strength of a higher realm, subsequent breakthroughs will correspondingly become easier. The lower the realm, the more obvious the effect."

"Spicy Strips do indeed help with breakthroughs," Luo Chuan's voice sounded beside the three of them. "You could call it a hidden effect."

"I've decided! I'll come buy them every day from now on!" Jiang Shengjun said with a resolute gaze.

Bu Lige curled her lip. "Heh heh, I've been doing that all along."

"Oh, right, Boss. This morning, His Majesty actually sent me a bottle of Cola. Did he buy it from you?" Bu Lige suddenly recalled something and asked.

Cola bought from me?

Luo Chuan pondered slightly, then thought of Elder Bai from yesterday.

Had he not said that he was an Attendant of the royal family?

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

He found it rather amusing as well.

The unseen emperor of the Tianxing Empire truly knew how to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.

Seeing that Bu Lige still wanted to ask something, Luo Chuan said indifferently, "The Rules of my shop cannot be broken by anyone."

With their identities laid out before them, the three were naturally exceptionally intelligent.

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

If it were an ordinary cultivator, being courted by the royal family would probably leave them overwhelmed by favor, but an existence like the Boss likely did not even spare it a glance.

Is this the bearing of a true powerhouse?

For a moment, Bu Lige and the others felt an intense longing for strength rise in their hearts.

After greeting Luo Chuan, the three left the little shop.

Yao Ziyan looked at Luo Chuan, seeming as though she wanted to speak but hesitated.

Luo Chuan had long guessed what Yao Ziyan was thinking. "Your daily wage from now on will be one pack of Spicy Strips and one bottle of Cola."

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

With that, she took the items from the shelves.

Ever since hearing the three of them talk earlier, Yao Ziyan had been curious about what these things tasted like to make them so obsessed.

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

As she twisted open the cap, a wave of icy chill rushed toward her.

Yao Ziyan did not hesitate much before directly taking a large gulp of Cola.

"Mm..."

The sensory stimulation she had never experienced before made her widen her eyes slightly.

Yao Ziyan now more or less understood why the three of them had worn those expressions earlier.

It was simply because this Cola was too delicious!

After finishing the Cola, Yao Ziyan turned her gaze toward the Spicy Strips by her hand.

As a demon beast, though she had already taken human form, Yao Ziyan did not usually enjoy spicy flavors.

But these were goods from the shop, so naturally they had to be treated differently.

She tore open the package, and a fragrant, spicy aroma rushed toward her face as saliva began wildly secreting in her mouth.

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

Her eyes brightened slightly. Then she took another bite, and another...

"Huh? It's already gone?"

Looking at the empty package in her hand, Yao Ziyan could hardly believe it.

I only just started tasting the flavor. How is it already gone?

The portion is far too small, isn't it?

"How was it?"

Seeing Yao Ziyan's dazed appearance, an almost imperceptible smile appeared on Luo Chuan's face.

"Very delicious! And the effects are amazing too!"

Yao Ziyan said solemnly.

At the same time, Luo Chuan's image in her heart became increasingly unfathomable.
