Chapter 10 - So Delicious!

As Bu Shiyi held the spicy strips and Coke, Bu Lige swallowed nervously.

He clearly remembered the delicious taste of the Coke, and ever since he had his first bottle yesterday, he couldn't forget the refreshing feeling of bubbles popping in his mouth.

Bu Shiyi nodded and gave a small sigh. "What you get with more than a hundred Spirit Crystals certainly better be worth the money."

In Bu Lige's eager gaze, Bu Shiyi slowly tore open the packaging of the spicy strips.

Suddenly, a strong, spicy aroma surged out, instantly stimulating their senses.

Inside the package was a single spicy strip, its red oil glistening under the light.

That's right, there was only one strip in each package!

When Luo Chuan first saw it, he briefly wondered if the system had intentionally reduced the weight of the spicy strips.

Bu Shiyi used two slender fingers to pick it up, hesitated for a moment, then placed it into her mouth, all while Bu Lige looked on with covetous eyes.

She chewed lightly, and immediately, the intense spice rushed into her mouth.

It felt like a flame ignited in her stomach, quickly spreading through her body, causing her spiritual energy to surge under the heat.

"Um... delicious!" Bu Shiyi narrowed her eyes slightly, offering her approval.

"Sister, how does it taste?" Bu Lige, unable to contain his excitement, swallowed hard.

He was already regretting not bringing more Spirit Crystals with him.

"Extremely delicious!" Bu Shiyi replied casually.

"But the effect is exactly as the owner described—my strength is now at the sixth rank of the soul!" As Bu Shiyi felt the surge of energy within her, she couldn't help but think.

As the daughter of the Southern Protector, Bu Shiyi was exceptionally beautiful and was considered one of the most stunning individuals in all of Nine Stars City. Many young men admired her as a goddess.

Despite being a woman, her strength was also impressive—she had already reached the fifth rank of the soul.

At such a young age, this level of cultivation was a rarity even within the entire Star Empire!

"I heard that spicy strips and 'fat house happy water'—ahem, Coke—are quite the match!" Luo Chuan interjected at just the right moment.

Bu Shiyi nodded and unscrewed the Coke bottle, taking a sip.

Her eyes widened as she took another sip, then another...

Before long, Bu Shiyi had finished the entire bottle of Coke.

Burp...

A loud, satisfied hiccup echoed, and Bu Shiyi's face flushed red.

Luo Chuan remained unbothered, his expression calm. After all, maintaining composure in front of beautiful women was a crucial trait for any 'male god.'

"Lige, let's go." Bu Shiyi gave a small nod to Luo Chuan before pulling Bu Lige out of the shop.

"Thank you for your patronage. Come again next time," Luo Chuan said casually.

"Sister, how was the food?" As soon as they stepped outside, Bu Lige asked with a look of disbelief.

Bu Shiyi glanced back at the shop, her autumn-like eyes filled with confusion. "I really didn't expect the two things to be exactly as described."

"Now you see I wasn't lying to you, right?" Bu Lige said proudly.

Bu Shiyi nodded and replied softly, "Yes. But still, who is this boss, and what's his purpose in opening a shop in Nine Stars City?"

Bu Lige waved off her concerns. "Sister, why care so much? As long as we can buy things here, what does it matter who the boss is or what his strength is?"

At Bu Lige's rather nonchalant answer, Bu Shiyi paused for a moment, then chuckled. "You're right. As long as we can buy what we need here, who cares about the rest?"
