Saving a Life
For most people, the girl's injuries would have been beyond hope.
However, as the owner of Origin Mall, such issues were trivial for Luo Chuan.
He casually grabbed a bottle of cola from the glass shelf downstairs and poured it into the girl's mouth.
The effects of the system-provided cola were astonishing.
---
In just a few breaths, the girl's bloody wounds visibly closed, leaving no scars behind. Broken bones realigned themselves with a crisp sound, as if her body had never been injured.
The frown on her face relaxed, likely from the relief of pain subsiding.
Yet, despite the miraculous healing, the girl remained unconscious. This was due to her severely depleted vitality.
---
If this had happened a few days ago, Luo Chuan would have been at a loss for what to do.
But not long ago, he had acquired a bottle of Jelly Dew—a miraculous elixir known for its ability to replenish vitality.
Luo Chuan couldn't help but wonder if the system had anticipated this situation, gifting him the elixir precisely because he would need to save this girl.
---
He poured a cup of the golden liquid and gently fed it to her.
As the elixir worked its magic, a vibrant surge of life spread through her body, visibly restoring her vitality. Her pale cheeks regained a healthy, rosy hue, making her look even more breathtakingly beautiful.
Just as Luo Chuan was about to prepare a second dose, the girl stirred.
Her eyelashes trembled, and her eyes slowly opened.
---
What met Luo Chuan's gaze was a pair of stunning purple eyes, complementing her flowing purple hair.
Purple hair and purple eyes. Luo Chuan couldn't help but think something about her seemed... unnatural.
But who was Luo Chuan?
In his previous life on Blue Star, he had been a college student with plenty of knowledge about fantasy and anime tropes. He quickly deduced that the girl might not be an ordinary human.
---
The two locked eyes.
For a moment, neither spoke.
Luo Chuan found himself conflicted. What should I say?
Should he explain that he was just a shopkeeper, bored while watching the rain, who happened to see her fall from the sky and decided to save her?
That sounded absurd.
---
Meanwhile, the girl—Yao Ziyan—was grappling with her own shock.
The last thing she remembered was using her demon pill to launch a devastating attack, burning away most of her vitality in a desperate attempt to escape death.
She had been certain her life was over.
But now?
Her injuries were completely healed, and even her lost vitality had been restored.
---
Her eyes drifted to the Jelly Dew in Luo Chuan's hand.
The overwhelming vitality emanating from it was astonishing. Even the legendary Fountain of Life of the Monster Royal Clan couldn't compare.
Clearly, her miraculous recovery was thanks to the mysterious man standing before her.
---
Though most monsters were straightforward and acted with honor, Yao Ziyan wasn't entirely sure how to proceed.
She took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Thank you for saving my life."
Yet, even as she expressed her gratitude, doubt lingered in her mind.
Her vitality had been restored, and her injuries were gone, but her cultivation was still in shambles. It would take a long time to recover her strength as an Eminence.
And there was still the looming threat of the Phaseless Demon Monk, Wuxiang, who might hunt her down again.
---
But Luo Chuan didn't seem concerned about any of that.
He nodded nonchalantly. "It's no problem. You just happened to fall from the sky right outside my shop, so I saved you."
After a moment of thought, he added, "By the way, I'm Luo Chuan, the owner of this store. You can call me Boss Luo."
The girl hesitated briefly before replying, "My name is Yao Ziyan."
---
Neither of them seemed particularly good at small talk, and an awkward silence settled between them.
