Chapter 21

"Thank you, seniors, for showing mercy!" Old Bai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and solemnly bowed in Luochuan's direction.

Luo Chuan nodded faintly in acknowledgment. Although he hadn't left the shop during the previous battle, he sensed that Old Bai had activated the city's great defense formation.

From this, Luo Chuan inferred that Old Bai held a significant position in Jiuyao City, likely related to the royal family. Given that Luo Chuan's shop operated in the city, it would be advantageous to maintain a favorable relationship with the royals.

With that thought in mind, Luo Chuan returned to lounging on the couch by the door.

Meanwhile, Chu Yunfei had already fled when the Silver Moon fell, unable to withstand the overwhelming energy fluctuations at his Divine Soul Realm.

Observing Luo Chuan's nonchalant demeanor, Old Bai wrestled with his thoughts. Eventually, he decided to approach Luochuan's shop.

Seeing powerful figures like Luo Chuan operating a shop in a secluded alley of Jiuyao City filled Old Bai with admiration and apprehension. With such a formidable boss, any trouble from the city's officials would be swiftly dealt with.

However, it puzzled Old Bai that the royal family had received no news of this powerful figure's arrival in the city.

"Origin Mall... Origin... Quite audacious," Old Bai mused, gazing at the shop's plaque with admiration.

Acknowledging the respect shown by Old Bai, Luo Chuan gestured for him to speak.

Old Bai introduced himself as Bai Hong, a royal consecration, and inquired about Luo Chuan's needs.

Luo Chuan dismissed any notions of worship and engaged in a brief exchange with Old Bai, turning his attention back to the system in his mind.

When Old Bai expressed interest in exploring the shop, Luo Chuan granted permission, prompting Old Bai to marvel at the various items on display.

Observing the colored glaze, Old Bai's initial shock was tempered by Luo Chuan's formidable strength.

Requesting permission to browse further, Old Bai expressed regret upon learning about the shop's purchasing limitations.

However, he reassured himself that such limitations were common in shops run by powerful individuals like Luo Chuan.

As Old Bai contemplated the benefits of Luo Chuan's presence in Jiuyao City, he reflected on the potential advantages for the Star Empire.

Luo Chuan reiterated the shop's rules, prompting Old Bai to accept them as commonplace, given the circumstances.
