Chapter 35
"Monster Beast Royal Family?"
Upon hearing Jiang Shengjun's words, both Bu Lige and Bu Shiyi turned to Yao Ziyan with surprise.
Initially, they had found Yao Ziyan's appearance a bit peculiar, but now, prompted by Jiang Shengjun's remark, they reacted differently.
Although the news about the monster royal family was unfamiliar to them, they associated it with monstrous creatures capable of transformation.
Considering Luo Chuan's identity...
Could he be from the monster royal family?
Was there something amiss?
Was this normal?
Observing the nonchalant expressions of the two individuals beside him, Jiang Shengjun couldn't help feeling unsettled.
The Monster Beast Royal Family—wasn't it surprising to find one of their members in Jiuyao City?!
For a moment, Jiang Shengjun found himself questioning the reality of his understanding.
After all, encountering monsters often meant facing danger for ordinary cultivators, and the relationship between the two sides had long been fraught with conflict.
However, Jiang Shengjun now realized that not all monsters and beasts were as ferocious as depicted in books...
"Are you a clerk in this store?" Bu Shiyi inquired curiously.
Yao Ziyan nodded, smiling. "Yes, today is my first day on the job."
"Miss, may I ask if transformed monsters are as beautiful as you?" Bu Lige whispered.
Bu Shiyi:...
Bu Shiyi gained a newfound appreciation for her naive brother.
Even Yao Ziyan was momentarily taken aback, pondering the question before shaking her head.
"The new products are displayed over there," Yao Ziyan redirected the conversation, pointing towards the shelves.
Listening to the dialogue among the group, Jiang Shengjun's sense of unease grew.
His gaze drifted towards the shop's décor.
Inhaling sharply, Jiang Shengjun was astonished.
With such a plethora of pure-colored glases, one might expect to find such luxury only in the palace, right?
Who was this boss?
Were they a hidden power?
At that moment, Jiang Shengjun had a sudden realization, and his expression shifted.
Yesterday, there had been a Soul Projection incident in Jiuyao City, seemingly near this location.
Could it all be mere coincidence?
Observing Luo Chuan basking in the sun at the entrance, Jiang Shengjun swallowed nervously.
Taking hesitant steps, Jiang Shengjun cautiously approached Bu Lige.
Seeing Jiang Shengjun's demeanor, Bu Lige became puzzled.
"I say, Young Master Jiang, aren't you usually quite arrogant? Why the sudden change?" Bu Lige asked, amused.
Under normal circumstances, if Bu Lige had dared to address him in such a manner, Jiang Shengjun would have been indignant.
However, the present circumstances were anything but normal.
"Bu Lige, could the owner of this shop be that mysterious master from yesterday?"
Lowering his voice, Jiang Shengjun cautiously glanced at Luo Chuan, fearing he might overhear.
Unbeknownst to him, in this shop, besides the store owner, his strength was the lowest.
Speaking softly made no difference from speaking directly into Luo Chuan's ear.
Following a fierce battle yesterday, rumors about the mysterious powerhouse had spread throughout Jiuyao City.
Furthermore, after the royal family's enigmatic silence regarding Mr. Bai's enshrinement, speculation surrounding the event had proliferated.
People were curious.
It was because of this widespread curiosity that rumors about the mysterious master had gained traction.
"If you cause any trouble in the shop, you'll be done for. Even His Majesty won't be able to save you," Bu Lige remarked with a grin.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shengjun broke out in a cold sweat.
He had contemplated informing his father about the presence of a member of the monster race in the shop. Now it seemed that would be a death sentence!
Fortunately, he had only entertained the thought and refrained from taking any actual action.
