Zhou Hu

After speaking, Luo Chuan went out to buy breakfast.

Yao Ziyan was completely confused.

Had the shop been renovated? And were there new products?

Didn't the boss rest in his room all night? When were these things completed?

After thinking it over and over, Yao Ziyan couldn't figure out the reason for the situation, so she stopped thinking about it.

She came downstairs and saw that the scene was indeed as Luo Chuan had said.

In a corner of the shop, there was a new item made of strangely shaped, silvery-white metal.

The metal nameplate on it read its name: Hot Water Machine.

Hot Water Machine?

Yao Ziyan was a little curious, could it be a machine that automatically boils water?

The boss is truly amazing, to be able to get these strange and peculiar things.

Of course, Yao Ziyan didn't forget about the Instant Noodles that Luo Chuan had mentioned.

"Is this the thing?"

Yao Ziyan looked at the rows of bowl-packaged items displayed on the shelf, feeling a bit curious.

"Ten Spirit Crystals per pack? It's not that expensive... Never mind, I'll wait until the boss gets back."

Before long, Luo Chuan returned with breakfast, and he and Yao Ziyan ate together.

Of course, in a tacit understanding, they each had a pack of Spicy Strips to go with their meal.

After eating their fill, Luo Chuan resumed his leisurely life.

However, to his surprise, the peace today didn't last long.

"Is this the place? I don't see any shops around."

"It should be right. Wei Qingzhu said the shop was in an alley, so it should be around here."

"Found it, found it! Come quickly, everyone. Look, there's a boss sunbathing like a salted fish at the entrance, it's this place..."

Seeing five cultivators dressed in different soft armors bustling towards him, Luo Chuan's expression turned grim.

Salted fish boss? Is this what Wei Qingzhu calls me?

I really didn't expect such a beautiful girl to have such a peculiar sense of humor.

However, it seemed Wei Qingzhu hadn't lied to him; these people were likely brought here by her.

It had to be said here that Wei Qingzhu, Song Qiuying, and Lin Wanshuang were all exceptionally beautiful, and their team had gained considerable fame among cultivators adventuring in the Jiuyao Mountain Range.

Of course, these cultivators had another name among the residents of Jiuyao City: mercenaries.

Besides hunting Demonic Beasts and searching for spiritual herbs, they also completed missions issued by certain factions.

"I am the boss of this shop," Luo Chuan said, standing up from his lounge chair.

Unlike a young master like Bu Lige, these five people carried a fierce aura, clearly having experienced many life-and-death battles.

Moreover, based on Luo Chuan's brief observation, the leader should be the bald man standing before him.

The bald man was named Zhou Hu. His cultivation had already reached Creation Ninth Grade, making him a master among these mercenaries.

Zhou Hu looked at Luo Chuan, not daring to show any contempt due to his youthful appearance.

The reason was a single sentence spoken by Wei Qingzhu.

"Never try to get any ideas about the things in the shop, or even Emperor Tianxing won't be able to protect you!"

Many mercenaries heard this and scoffed. Who was Emperor Tianxing?

He was a super expert at Dao Seeking Ninth Grade, how could a mere shop owner compare to him?

However, Zhou Hu kept it in mind. He knew well that acting cautiously was often the key to survival.

Zhou Hu asked, "Boss, do you have the Spicy Strips and Cola that Wei Qingzhu mentioned?"

Luo Chuan replied, "Yes."

After speaking, he closed his eyes again, comfortably basking in the sun.
