Siuteo

In the heart of the Azure Continent lies a legendary establishment known as Origin Mall.
This extraordinary store offers goods beyond imagination: a sip of its cola can instantly replenish one's vitality; its spicy snacks grant the strength to overcome powerful foes; the games it offers can accelerate cultivation progress; and its novels impart profound techniques and insights.
Origin Mall boasts a vast array of offerings, catering to leisure, entertainment, dining, and training needs alike.
However, there’s one rule that all visitors must remember: never cause trouble in the store. The owner, though unassuming, is unimaginably powerful.

The Omniversal Merchant

On the bustling streets of Nine Stars City, two young women in elegant, luxurious attire strolled side by side. Their noble bearing immediately set them apart from ordinary cultivators.

The sight of the duo naturally drew attention, and not all of it was innocent. Yet, the white cloud emblem stitched onto their garments made even the boldest observers quickly avert their eyes and give way.

These were students of Soaring Cloud Academy—figures no one in their right mind would dare provoke.

"Xi'er, isn't this a bit reckless? The teacher warned us that Nine Stars City is teeming with all sorts of unsavory characters. Just recently, a Soul Dominion expert was mysteriously killed here," Jiang Ruochang said, her voice tinged with worry.

"What's there to be afraid of, Wan Chang?" Gu Yunxi replied with a carefree laugh. "The teacher said we're free to explore as long as we avoid trouble. Do you know how stifling it's been in the academy? Now that we're out, we must seize the chance to relax!"

Their lively chatter filled the air as they walked.

Gu Yunxi was no ordinary girl; she was the little princess of the Dragontree Empire, a nation whose strength far surpassed that of the Heavenly Star Empire.

Jiang Ruochang, on the other hand, was the cherished youngest daughter of the illustrious Jiang family. As the youngest of ten siblings, with nine doting elder brothers, she was truly the apple of her family's eye. The Jiang family, with its thousand-year legacy, was renowned across the Azure Continent.

The two moved through the streets, buying anything that caught their fancy and storing it in their spatial rings. Vendors were all smiles, thrilled to encounter such generous customers.

"Xi'er, look over there! Is that a shop?" Jiang Ruochang exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with curiosity.

Gu Yunxi followed her friend's gaze, spotting a modest storefront in an out-of-the-way location. A smile tugged at her lips.

"Who would've thought someone would open a store in such a remote spot?"

"Is that the owner?" Jiang Ruochang pointed to a man lounging on a recliner outside the shop, basking in the sunlight.

"I think so," Gu Yunxi said with a nod. "Come on, Wan Chang, let's take a look!"

Before Jiang Ruochang could protest, Gu Yunxi grabbed her hand and pulled her forward.

"Hey, slow down, Xi'er! What's the rush?"

The sunlight dimmed as the pair approached, and Luo Chuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you the owner of this shop?" a soft voice asked.

Standing before him were two exceptionally beautiful girls, their presence exuding an innate air of luxury and nobility.

Luo Chuan remained unfazed and nodded. "Yes, I'm the owner."

"Origin Mall?" Jiang Ruochang glanced at the sign and arched an eyebrow. "That's quite a bold name. Few would dare to use the word 'Origin.'"

Gu Yunxi smiled and cut in before Luo Chuan could respond. "Boss, don't mind us. We'll take a look inside ourselves."

She tugged Jiang Ruochang into the shop, leaving Luo Chuan sitting outside.

Inside, both girls stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide with astonishment.

The store's interior was a vision of elegance, with furniture crafted entirely from colored glazed materials that shimmered under the light.

"Wow..." Jiang Ruochang whispered, her jaw dropping.

"I take back everything I said earlier about this shop," she continued, her tone now solemn. "Even the Jiang family wouldn't use so much colored glazed material for mere furniture. This store's owner is hiding incredible wealth."

Gu Yunxi nodded in agreement, equally awestruck.

Meanwhile, outside, Luo Chuan leaned back in his recliner, a faint smile on his lips.

With Yao Ziyan keeping an eye on the shop and the system ensuring its security, he had nothing to worry about. Reclining in the sun, he let his mind wander, utterly relaxed.
