,Chapter 69: "Flying Devil Bargain!"
Setting: Heavenly Paradise – a city floating in the clouds, filled with golden roads, crystal towers, and magic airships zooming above. The team walks through a shiny, glowing street filled with flying vehicle dealerships.

[Scene opens]
Kenya: folding arms, unimpressed "So this is Heavenly Paradise... everything looks expensive."
Eliz: cheerfully spinning around "Look at those flying ships! They're like floating castles!"
Shen: eye sparkling like a child in a candy shop "This is it. I'm gonna buy the most legendary, overpowered, fire-shooting, self-healing, magical beast-jet ever made!!"
Ruke: facepalming "Please don't get us kicked out again."
---
[They enter a glowing shop with a sign: "GRAND DEVIL RIDES – Heaven-Class Vehicles"]
Shopkeeper: an old man with goggles and floating on a magic disc "Welcome! Oh—wait a second... Shen Karguro?! You saved my granddaughter from that Arcane Cobra last month!"
Shen: grinning proudly "That's me!"
Shopkeeper: bows "Please! Take anything you like! It's all free for heroes like you!"
---
[Cue Shen's dramatic transformation: eyes glow, cloak flares, music swells]
Shen: "Then I shall take... THAT!" points to a gigantic, gold-plated, flaming-dragon-shaped flying vehicle that sings opera music when the door opens
Shopkeeper: sweating "Uh… maybe not that one..."
Shen: "Then THIS!" points to a spaceship with 99 boosters and a swimming pool inside
Shopkeeper: "That's... the King of Heaven's private ride. Please pick something... smaller?"
---
[After Shen picks 23 more over-the-top vehicles, the shopkeeper panics]
Shopkeeper: "How about this—A rare ancient flying beast vehicle... last used 800 years ago. It's dusty, but it still flies!"
Kenya: blinking "That thing? It looks like a flying turtle crossed with a teapot."
Eliz: "It's kinda... cute?"
Shen: "I'll take it! What's the price?"
Shopkeeper: sighs in relief "Just give me 2 drills."
Shen: pulls out two glowing drills from his pouch "DEAL!"
---
[The team walks out with the old, squeaky vehicle that wheezes when it flaps its wings]
Ruke: sarcastic "So much for the legendary fire-shooting beast-jet."
Shen: sits proudly in the driver's seat "It may be old, it may squeak, it may smell like dragon feet... but it's ours!"
Eliz: "Let's name it!"
Kenya: dryly "Flying Devil?"
Shen: pointing to the sputtering engine "No... THE FLYING DEVIL LEGENDARY EDITION!"
