Jiang Shengjun’s Curiosity
Looking at the prices and effects of the products, Yao Ziyan was stunned.
At this price, it's practically giving them away for free!
However, when she recalled that Luo Chuan was a peerless expert whose true power she couldn't even comprehend, she felt relieved. A master's preferences are bound to be unique, she thought.
Ironically, Yao Ziyan momentarily overlooked the fact that she, too, was a formidable expert in her own right.

Inside the shop, with Yao Ziyan now assisting as a clerk, Luo Chuan lounged on a recliner by the door, basking in the sunlight.
Life should be this simple, he thought with a contented sigh.

"Sis, I'm telling you, the boss said there'd be new products in the store today!" Bu Lige exclaimed as he walked alongside his sister, Bu Shiyi. His face radiated excitement.
Bu Shiyi glanced at her younger brother with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Is he really this obsessed with that store?
Still, she had to admit—those products were indeed delicious. Thinking back to her last visit, her taste buds practically tingled at the memory.
As a lady of high status, she rarely left the house for casual outings. This time, however, she'd decided to indulge her curiosity.
"Lige, what do you think the boss's new product will be?" she asked.
"How would I know?" Bu Lige waved dismissively. "But honestly, considering the boss's strength, I wouldn't be surprised if he uses divine artifacts to make his products!"
Bu Shiyi paused. That… actually makes sense.

Their striking appearances naturally drew attention as they strolled down the bustling streets. After all, a beauty like Bu Shiyi always captured the crowd's gaze.
"Well, well, Shiyi, what brings you out of the house today?"
A cheerful voice called out, and they turned to see a man in a white robe holding a folding fan. He approached with a confident smile.
It was Jiang Shengjun, the son of the Left Prime Minister.
Despite his high status, Jiang Shengjun wasn't one of those notorious rich heirs. Handsome and talented in cultivation, he was admired by many young women across Nine Stars City.
However, Bu Shiyi was not one of his admirers.
Everyone in the city knew Jiang Shengjun had been pursuing Bu Shiyi for years, but his feelings were unreciprocated. Despite his charm, her indifference was well known, and his persistent efforts yielded no results.
Bu Shiyi cast a glance at him but didn't respond. Jiang Shengjun's constant attention had long since worn her patience thin.
"Jiang Shengjun, just give it up already," Bu Lige said with a playful grin, clapping a hand on Jiang Shengjun's shoulder. "Do you honestly think you're worthy of my sister? Go home, look in a mirror, and reflect on your choices."
Jiang Shengjun was stunned by the bluntness, watching in disbelief as Bu Shiyi and Bu Lige walked away.
"Did… did he just say that to me?" Jiang Shengjun muttered, shaking his head.
He frowned. Could it be that Bu Lige's injuries have healed?
After pondering for a moment, he couldn't figure out why Bu Lige was acting so boldly.
He shifted his focus. Bu Shiyi rarely leaves her house. What's brought her out today?
Watching the siblings disappear into the crowd, Jiang Shengjun made a decision. I'll follow them and see what's going on.

"Boss! Boss! You said there'd be new products today!"
Bu Lige's enthusiastic voice jolted Luo Chuan from his relaxation. He opened his eyes lazily, spotting Bu Lige and Bu Shiyi entering the store.
Unlike her usual aloof demeanor, Bu Shiyi greeted Luo Chuan with a polite smile. Her beauty in that moment seemed to make the world itself pale in comparison.
Luo Chuan gave a slight nod, calmly observing the siblings as they approached.
