chapter 10

Looking at the spicy strips and Coke in Bu Shiyi's hands, Bu Lige swallowed nervously.

He clearly remembered the deliciousness of the Coke. Ever since he drank a bottle yesterday, he hadn't been able to forget the cold, bubbly sensation in his mouth!

Bu Shiyi nodded slightly and said, "We spent over a hundred Lingjing, so it's worth seeing if these are worth the price."

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

Suddenly, a strong spicy aroma filled the air, stimulating their senses.

Inside the package was a single spicy strip, glistening with red oil.

Bu Shiyi used two slender fingers to pick it up, hesitated slightly, and then brought it to her red lips, much to Bu Lige's eager anticipation.

As she chewed lightly, the spicy flavor immediately burst in her mouth. It felt like a ball of flame spread from her abdomen, sweeping through her body, and making her spiritual power surge.

"Mmm... delicious!"

Bu Shiyi narrowed her eyes slightly and gave her assessment.

"Sister, what does it taste like?" Bu Lige asked eagerly, swallowing hard.

Bu Lige regretted not bringing more spirit crystals with him.

"It's extremely delicious!" Bu Shiyi replied casually.

"But the effect is indeed as the boss said. My strength has indeed reached the sixth rank of the soul!" She thought, feeling the strength of the spiritual power coursing through her body.

As the daughter of Zhennanhou, Bu Shiyi had both beauty and power, making her one of the most admired figures in Jiuyao City. Despite being a woman, her strength was formidable; she was already in the fifth rank of the soul realm!

At such a young age, having this level of cultivation was a rare feat in the entire Sky Star Empire.

"I heard that spicy strips go well with Coke," Luo Chuan said at the right moment.

Bu Shiyi nodded, then unscrewed the Coke and took a sip.

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

In no time, she had finished the entire bottle of Coke.

"Belch..."

A full burp escaped, and a blush instantly spread across Bu Shiyi's face.

Luo Chuan remained unfazed, maintaining his calm demeanor.

"Lige, let's go." Bu Shiyi nodded slightly to Luo Chuan, then pulled Bu Lige out of the shop.

"Thank you for your patronage. We hope to see you again," Luo Chuan said calmly.

"Sister, how was it?" As soon as they walked out of the shop, Bu Lige asked eagerly.

Bu Shiyi looked back at the shop, her eyes filled with curiosity. "I really didn't expect that both items would work exactly as described."

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

Bu Shiyi nodded slightly. "Yes. But who is this boss, and why did he open a shop in Jiuyao City?"

Bu Lige waved his hand dismissively. "Sister, what does it matter? As long as we can buy things from his store, does his identity or purpose really matter to us?"

Bu Shiyi was taken aback by Bu Lige's nonchalant response, then burst into laughter. "You're right. As long as we can buy things from his store, why bother about anything else?"
