Roar!
The Athyst Demon Wolf let out a furious roar, and the athyst crystals on its back flickered with an intense light.
"Qiuying! Watch out!" Wei Qingzhu and Lin Wanshuang shouted in alarm.
At the last mont, Lin Wanshuang's long whip coiled around the wolf's limbs, halting its charge.
Song Qiuying sighed in relief and was about to retreat when a sharp sound cut through the air.
Thud!
The sound of flesh being pierced filled the forest. An athyst tail shot through Song Qiuying's shoulder, and she cried out in pain as blood quickly soaked her clothes.
"Qiuying!"
Wei Qingzhu and Lin Wanshuang's eyes burned with fury.
Lin Wanshuang cracked her whip, using it to montarily restrain the wolf while Wei Qingzhu rushed to Song Qiuying's side.
Taking a deep breath, Wei Qingzhu tore open the package of spicy strips she carried, stuffing one into her mouth.
"Spicy strips! If that shopkeeper lied to , I'll make him pay!"
Almost instantly, her face flushed, and a surge of fiery energy coursed through her body. Her cultivation rose abruptly to the ninth rank of Fortune Realm.
"It's real!" Wei Qingzhu marveled at the surge of spiritual power.
With newfound strength, she dashed toward the Athyst Demon Wolf, her figure blurring into an afterimage.
"Die!"
With a single precise slash, her sword struck the wolf's neck.
The beast froze, disbelief clouding its eyes as a thin line of blood appeared across its neck. It didn't understand how this human had beco so powerful in re monts.
The wolf's massive head toppled to the ground, followed by its lifeless body.
"Qiuying, drink this!" Wei Qingzhu exclaid as she frantically brought a bottle of Coke to Song Qiuying's lips.
A few breaths later, they stared in astonishnt. Song Qiuying's shoulder, which had been pierced and bleeding monts ago, was completely healed.
Even the deepest wounds would usually require months to recover with the help of elixirs, yet now they had healed in seconds.
"What did you give to drink?" Song Qiuying asked, disbelief written all over her face. "And that thing you ate earlier—it boosted your strength so much!"
Wei Qingzhu recounted her visit to Luo Chuan's store. "The drink is called Coke, and the food was a spicy strip..."

Three Days Later
As usual, Luo Chuan lounged on a chair outside his shop, basking in the sun.
"Hey, boss, enjoying the sun again?"
A familiar voice rang out. It was Bu Lige, who had beco a regular custor over the past few days.
Each day, Bu Lige ca to buy a bottle of Coke and a pack of spicy strips. Luo Chuan welcod such consistent patrons—especially those who weren't short on spirit crystals.
However, Luo Chuan felt mildly dissatisfied. Despite Bu Lige's frequent visits, he hadn't brought in any new custors.
Even worse, Bu Shiyi hadn't returned. Luo Chuan swore it wasn't because he wanted to see her; he just wanted to sell more Coke and spicy strips!
From Bu Lige's perspective, though, it was better if fewer people knew about the shop. If the store beca too popular, what if the stock ran out? Then he wouldn't get his daily dose of Coke and spicy strips!
"Everything's on the shelves. Grab what you want, and leave the spirit crystals on the counter," Luo Chuan said lazily, not bothering to open his eyes.
"Got it!"
Bu Lige cheerfully took a pack of spicy strips and a bottle of Coke, leaving the paynt on the counter.
After chugging down the Coke, he sighed contentedly. "Ah, one bottle of Happy Water a day feels like heaven!"
The nickna "Happy Water for the Lazy" was sothing Luo Chuan had casually ntioned before. Bu Lige loved it so much that he had started using it too.
