Chapter 32: Systematic Stubbornness

A faint noise echoed in the room. Yao Ziyan's face flushed instantly, her embarrassment evident.
It was only now that she realized how long it had been since she last ate. After her desperate flight following the attack during her tribulation, several days had passed without a single meal.

"You're hungry?" Luo Chuan asked, his tone direct as he noticed the shy expression on her face.
Yao Ziyan could only nod, her cheeks reddening further. Denying it now would be pointless and unnecessarily hypocritical.
Luo Chuan sighed lightly, already deciding what to do.
"Wait here. I'll make something for you to eat," he said before heading toward the kitchen.
