C10 Delicious!

Watching Bu Shiyi handle the spicy sticks and cola, Bu Lige couldn't help but swallow hard.

He vividly recalled the delightful taste of cola. Since sipping a bottle yesterday, the memory of its icy fizz bursting in his mouth was unforgettable!

Bu Shiyi nodded thoughtfully, "An item bought for over a hundred spiritual crystals should certainly prove its worth."

With Bu Lige watching intently, Bu Shiyi slowly opened the spicy stick packaging.

Instantly, an intense aroma wafted through the air, tantalizing their senses.

Inside the package lay a single spicy stick, its glistening red oil shimmering enticingly.

Indeed, there was just one stick per packet!

Lo Chuan had even wondered if the system was skimping on the quantity.

Bu Shiyi delicately picked it up with two slender fingers, and after a brief pause, she popped it into her mouth under Bu Lige's envious gaze.

She chewed softly, and the bold spiciness surged through her mouth.

It was as if a flame ignited within her, spreading warmth throughout her body and causing her spiritual energy to whirl with increased vigor.

"Mmm... tasty!"

Bu Shiyi's eyes narrowed slightly as she savored the flavor.

"Sis, how's it taste?" Bu Lige asked eagerly, his mouth watering at the sight.

Bu Lige was now regretting not having brought more spiritual crystals with him.

"Exquisitely delicious!" Bu Shiyi responded offhandedly.

"But the effect is just as the vendor claimed. My strength has truly reached the Sixth Grade of the Divine Soul Realm!" Bu Shiyi mused internally, feeling the potent spiritual energy within her.

As the South Marquis's daughter, Bu Shiyi's beauty was renowned throughout Deepmount City, making her the object of many a young person's adoration.

And despite being a woman, her prowess was formidable; she had already attained the Fifth Grade of the Divine Soul Realm!

Such a level of cultivation at her age was exceedingly rare, even in the vast Heavenly Star Empire.

"I've heard that spicy sticks and 'Happy Water'—cough, cola—make an even better pairing!" Lo Chuan chimed in at just the right moment.

Bu Shiyi gave a small nod before twisting open the Coke and taking a delicate sip.

Her eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly took another sip, followed by yet another...

In no time, Bu Shiyi had polished off the entire bottle.

"Burp..."

A satisfied belch escaped, and a blush crept across Bu Shiyi's cheeks.

Lo Chuan remained unfazed, his composure unshaken—a true hallmark of a gentleman in the presence of a lady.

"Lige, we should head out," Bu Shiyi said, giving Lo Chuan a slight nod before tugging at the dazed Bu Lige to leave the shop.

"Thank you for your business, and we look forward to your next visit," Lo Chuan replied, nodding with a hint of warmth in his voice.

"Sis, how was the food?" Bu Lige asked, his expression a portrait of despair, as they stepped out of the shop.

Bu Shiyi glanced back at the quaint storefront, her clear eyes brimming with perplexity. "I truly didn't expect both items to live up to their descriptions."

"Now you see I wasn't fibbing, right?" Bu Lige boasted with a hint of pride.

Bu Shiyi nodded thoughtfully. "Yes. But it does make me wonder—who exactly is this shopkeeper, and why has he set up shop in Deepmount?"

Bu Lige shrugged nonchalantly. "Why worry about it, Sis? Isn't it enough that we can shop here? The owner's identity and abilities are none of our concern."

Bu Shiyi paused, taken aback by Bu Lige's candid response, and then she couldn't help but laugh. "You've got a point. As long as we can shop here, that's all that matters. Why bother with the rest?"
