Luo Chuan blinked, momentarily puzzled.
He glanced at the Colorful Glazed Chicken in his hand, its lifeless expression making it look as if it had accepted its fate.
And yet, these two were only asking for tail feathers?
What's so special about those? Can you eat them?
Shrugging, he casually tossed the feathers to them. "Take them."
Chen Mo and Chen Yiyi were momentarily stunned before joy flashed across their faces.
It seemed this mysterious senior had no interest in the tail feathers—what incredible luck!
"Thank you, Senior!" they said in unison, bowing respectfully.
Luo Chuan tilted his head slightly, glancing toward the sky.
The distant phantom image in the heavens had grown more defined, almost as if something was trying to materialize.
His gaze remained calm.
"Do you know what this place is?" he asked.
Chen Mo quickly answered, "This is the Five Elements Mountain Region in the Nine Stars Mountains."
Five Elements Mountain Region?
Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow. Interesting name.
"And why are you here?" he continued.
Before Chen Mo could respond, Chen Yiyi eagerly cut in.
"Master told us there would be a great opportunity here!" she said with excitement.
Chen Mo nodded. "Yes, and I believe the opportunity he spoke of is this ancient ruin that's about to open."
His eyes gleamed with anticipation as he looked toward the phantom world in the distance, his fists clenching involuntarily.
An ancient ruin—endless possibilities.
But Luo Chuan remained unimpressed.
What "opportunity" could possibly compare to his system?
He simply nodded and let the conversation drop.
Suddenly, Chen Yiyi winced.
A pained groan escaped her lips as she clutched her arm, her face turning slightly pale.
Chen Mo's expression darkened. "Junior Sister! Are you alright?"
Chen Yiyi bit her lip and forced a smile. "I'm fine."
Luo Chuan, watching with mild curiosity, asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Chen Mo sighed. "She was injured earlier while escaping the beast tide… by that thing."
His gaze flickered toward the Colorful Glazed Chicken still in Luo Chuan's grasp, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow. This chicken actually fought back?
"No cure?" he asked.
Chen Yiyi smiled helplessly. "Senior, even with healing medicines, it takes time to recover from an injury."
Luo Chuan fell silent for a moment.
Chen Mo and Chen Yiyi exchanged glances, confusion evident in their eyes.
Why does this senior seem… a bit ignorant of basic common sense?
Then, out of nowhere, Luo Chuan asked—
"Have you heard of Coke?"
---
Chen Mo and Chen Yiyi blinked in confusion.
Coke?
Even with all their knowledge, they had never heard of such a thing.
Was it a rare healing elixir?
Chen Mo cautiously asked, "Senior, what exactly is Coke?"
Without a word, Luo Chuan raised his hand.
A sleek, dark bottle appeared in his palm.
"This."
Chen Yiyi's nose wrinkled in distaste as she examined it. "It's… black. It looks ugly."
Of course, she had mistaken it for a potion.
Luo Chuan didn't bother arguing. He simply handed it over. "Drink it. It'll help with your injury."
Chen Yiyi hesitated.
But considering the strength of this mysterious senior, she doubted he had any need for petty tricks.
Taking a deep breath, she unscrewed the bottle cap—
And the Colorful Glazed Chicken, still playing dead in Luo Chuan's grasp, suddenly cracked open an eye.
