Chapter 135

Ying Wuji ignored Xia Yuan's thoughts and approached Luochuan directly, feeling a sense of anxiety.

"Boss, do you have any Qiongyelu today?" Ying Wuji asked nervously.

Luo Chuan nodded. "Yes, the stock just arrived today."

Ying Wuji immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his face lighting up with excitement. With the replenishment of Qiongyelu, he had brought enough spirit crystals to ensure he could restore his vitality!

"Qiongyelu, what is that?" Xia Yuan asked, leaning in with a confused expression.

Xia Yuan suddenly realized that this store had brought him too many questions. It was unusual for an ordinary shopkeeper to be treated with such respect by Ying Wuji!

Knowing Ying Wuji's typically aloof demeanor, Xia Yuan found it surprising to see him acting so deferentially. Moreover, the students, upon entering the store, headed straight to the shelves, each taking a bucket of items, as well as a few bottles of black potion and small bags in transparent packaging. These were all unfamiliar to Xia Yuan, making the situation even more peculiar.

"Why are you asking about that?" Ying Wuji said warily.

To him, Xia Yuan had now become a competitor for Qiongyelu!

"I just asked out of curiosity, can't I?" Xia Yuan said, bemused. Was it not enough to simply ask a question?

At this moment, Yao Ziyan walked down from upstairs. Seeing Xia Yuan, she smiled and asked, "Do we have a new customer in the store?"

Xia Yuan was initially startled to see Yao Ziyan, but his eyes widened in shock the next moment.

"Monster Beast Royal Family!" Xia Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Everyone else glanced at Xia Yuan with plain expressions.

Asking a dignified peak power, such a fuss was truly unbecoming.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Xia Yuan noticed that these people were already aware of Yao Ziyan's identity and thus not surprised.

"Sister Ziyan, good morning," a group of students greeted.

Yao Ziyan smiled and nodded.

Xia Yuan was further astonished. Unexpectedly, a small shop in Jiuyao City would actually be hiding such powerful figures!

Is it also attracted by the ancient ruins that are about to open?

It seemed that this trip might not go as smoothly as he had hoped!

Xia Yuan also speculated that the woman in front of him might be the true controller behind the store, with the young man merely acting as the front-facing boss.

"Ying Wuji, what is going on with this store?" Xia Yuan asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" Ying Wuji replied, puzzled.

Xia Yuan was exasperated and lowered his voice. "A Monster Beast Royal Family member in a shop! You seem familiar with this place, so explain to me what is going on!"

"Oh," Ying Wuji nodded. "I'll explain later. I need to buy Qiongyelu first."

Xia Yuan: ...

Ying Wuji walked to a shelf, and Xia Yuan, after a moment of thought, followed. He wanted to see what this Qiongyelu was that had Ying Wuji so enthralled.

The two approached the shelf where Qiongyelu was displayed. The "sold out" sign had been removed, and a small cold jade bottle sat there.

Ying Wuji, excited, carefully took down the cold jade bottle and held it in his hand.

"Is this it?" Xia Yuan looked puzzled.

Qiongyelu, with such an exalted name, had led him to expect a treasure of some kind. Instead, it turned out to be an ordinary cold jade bottle. What a disappointment!
