Chapter 27

Gululu~

A strange noise sounded, and Yao Ziyan's pretty face instantly turned red.

Only now did she remember that it had been several days since she was attacked and fled after undergoing her tribulation.

During this time, she hadn't eaten anything.

Although cultivators can rely on the spiritual power of heaven and earth to sustain their lives, this is not a long-term solution.

Even though Yao Ziyan's injuries had healed, her mental exhaustion was not so easy to recover from.

"Are you hungry?" Luo Chuan asked, looking at the shy girl in front of him.

Yao Ziyan could only nod with a blushing face. If she said she wasn't hungry at this moment, it would seem insincere.

With a sigh, Luo Chuan made a decision.

"Wait, I'll make you something to eat."

With that, Luo Chuan went to the kitchen of the small shop.

In the past, Luo Chuan's meals were usually solved by nearby restaurants.

Nowadays, with Bu Lige contributing to the store's turnover daily, Luo Chuan wasn't short on funds.

Out of the 10% of the shop owner's share, Luo Chuan asked the system to withdraw one-tenth as his deposit.

Looking at the modern kitchen, Luo Chuan felt a bit helpless.

On regular days, he never cooked for himself, preferring to dine at restaurants on the street.

He hadn't expected that he would need to cook now!

Luo Chuan even wondered if the system had anticipated this day and thoughtfully equipped the room with a kitchen.

"Forget it, I'll fry some tomato and egg, and cook a bowl of noodles."

With a sigh, Luo Chuan made his decision.

However, in Tianlan Continent, there was no such thing as a tomato.

"System, get me two tomatoes and two eggs," Luo Chuan called out in his mind.

"Please note that this system is the strongest shopkeeper system, not a vegetable sales system!" The system replied righteously.

"I see," Luo Chuan nodded solemnly, "Hurry up and get me the tomatoes and eggs."

System: …

Finally, the system provided Luo Chuan with the tomatoes and eggs.

Of course, it also included a piece of dried noodles.

After a while, a delicious aroma filled the kitchen.

"Let's eat," Luo Chuan said, bringing the noodles and scrambled eggs with tomatoes to Yao Ziyan.

The food Luo Chuan made might not be as good as that of professional chefs, but to Yao Ziyan, it was no less than a supreme gourmet dish.

When a person is extremely hungry, even a simple steamed bun tastes wonderful. This is an eternal truth.

"Thank you," Yao Ziyan whispered.

Her usually calm mood now had ripples.

Helping someone when they are most vulnerable is the easiest way to reach their heart. This was the situation here.

However, it was clear that Luo Chuan, who had been single for two lifetimes, did not realize this.

Initially, Yao Ziyan felt a bit self-conscious, but hunger quickly overcame her hesitation, and she ate the tomatoes, eggs, and noodles with great speed.

Seeing Yao Ziyan finish her meal, Luo Chuan stood up to clean everything.

"The washroom is on the side. You can rest here tonight. I'm leaving now."

With that, he left the room.

Luo Chuan had rescued Yao Ziyan out of pure goodwill, not for any ulterior motive.

Watching Luo Chuan's retreating figure, Yao Ziyan bit her lip but said nothing.

Luo Chuan's actions had greatly softened her heart, which had been filled with hatred towards humans.

To Yao Ziyan, Luo Chuan appeared as a peerless master hidden in the city.

She now understood that while some human cultivators were indeed ruthless, there were also humans who were kind to monsters and beasts.

Indeed, from Yao Ziyan's perspective, Luo Chuan had long known her identity as a monster beast.

After all, her purple hair and purple eyes were distinctive features.

This was precisely why Yao Ziyan covered herself with a black robe when she was an assassin.
