Yao Ziyan nodded faintly at Ji Wuhui and Mr. Bai as a form of greeting.
Her gaze shifted to Luo Chuan, and when she noticed the item in his hand, her eyes lit up with excitent.
"Your breakfast," Luo Chuan said in his usual indifferent tone.
"Thank you, boss!"
Yao Ziyan quickly descended the stairs, retrieved the breakfast, and smiled brightly. She seed genuinely touched by the gesture.
Luo Chuan, however, remained stoic, as if entirely unaffected. Perhaps, after spending so much ti with Yao Ziyan, he had developed an immunity to her charm.

Working as a clerk at the Origin Mall had given Yao Ziyan a sense of peace and security she hadn't experienced before. She no longer needed to be wary of conspiracies or threats from human cultivators. Each day, she woke up naturally, and the boss even brought her breakfast.
As she savored the warm, delicious al, adding her favorite spicy strips, her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes in pure delight.
What a pleasant life...

Observing her calm deanor, Ji Wuhui couldn't help but feel relieved.
When he had encountered her yesterday, he hadn't realized Yao Ziyan's true identity. His attention had been entirely focused on avoiding Luo Chuan's potential wrath.
Even now, at the pinnacle of Pathseeker, Ji Wuhui couldn't see through Yao Ziyan's true strength. Her identity as a royal mber of the Monster Beast lineage was beyond his comprehension.
Moreover, when Mr. Bai had returned from the Origin Mall with the life-saving elixir, he had only ntioned that the shop had a female clerk. To Mr. Bai, Yao Ziyan's presence and power paled in comparison to that of the enigmatic boss, Luo Chuan.
But for Ji Wuhui, seeing a Monster Beast Royal Family mber working as a shop clerk was jarring.
Where is the dignity of a royal beast? he wondered.
Ultimately, Ji Wuhui decided not to dwell on it further. He followed Mr. Bai to the shelves.

Mr. Bai began his introduction. "Your Majesty, these are so of the items sold in the boss's shop—cola, spicy noodles, instant noodles, jade..."
As he spoke, Mr. Bai glanced at the section where the coveted Jade Nectar Dew had once been displayed. As expected, a small whiteboard now occupied the spot, with neat black writing that read:
Sold out. Restocking soon.
Mr. Bai paused briefly before continuing, "And over there, Your Majesty, are the store rules. It's worth taking a look."
Ji Wuhui turned to see a small whiteboard hanging on the wall, inscribed with a list of rules.
"There are quite a lot of rules," he muttered to himself, though he wisely kept the thought private.
---
The two eventually selected a bucket of instant noodles each.
"Miss, we'll each take a bucket of instant noodles and play in the Tower of Trials for three hours," Mr. Bai said with a smile as they approached Yao Ziyan at the counter.
Yao Ziyan nodded, her tone professional. "That will be 380 spirit crystals in total."
Ji Wuhui raised an eyebrow at the price.
The items in this store aren't cheap, he thought. For an ordinary cultivator, these prices would be unaffordable.

A few minutes later, the two of them sat by the wall with their buckets of instant noodles.
The rich, spicy aroma wafted through the air, and the vibrant red broth promised unparalleled flavor.
"It slls incredible," Ji Wuhui murmured, taking a hesitant bite. His expression shifted almost imdiately, a mix of surprise and bliss.
Even though the emperor was used to the finest delicacies, this humble snack struck a chord.
"This flavor..."
He glanced at Mr. Bai, who was equally engrossed in his al.
For a man who had grown tired of the endless refinent of high-class cuisine, this simple, hearty dish felt revolutionary.
"Even if this cost several hundred spirit crystals more, it would still be worth it!" Ji Wuhui declared, savoring another mouthful.
At this mont, all thoughts of the price faded. All that mattered was the unparalleled taste in front of him.
This is worth it.
