The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 239: Luo Chuan’s Quiet Satisfaction

The song she had heard from the boss had a peculiar charm, and Yao Ziyan found herself humming it unconsciously.

Though the melody was somewhat unfamiliar, it carried a strange comfort, as if it painted a vivid scene with every note.

Even the lyrics evoked a story—

> Beacon smoke rises, looking for love like waves washing sand

Meeting her is like spring water reflecting pear blossom

Swing the sword to break the end of the sky, and let go of the longing

In my dreams, I'm madly worried

Regardless of the king, prince, general, prime minister

Yao Ziyan's voice was soft, almost wistful, as she sang.

As the words left her lips, she could almost see it—a once-mighty emperor, forsaking his kingdom for love, whispering his sorrow to an unfinished painting.

A tragic love story.

"Sister Ziyan, what are you singing?"

A voice pulled her from her reverie.

Gu Yunxi, who had been in the middle of paying spirit crystals, turned to her with an expression of surprise. "It sounds so beautiful."

Yao Ziyan smiled. "I don't actually know the name. I heard it from the boss."

"Oh?" Gu Yunxi nodded, pressing a finger to her lips in thought. "The lyrics are... unusual. I've never heard a song like this before."

As the little princess of the Dragon Axis Empire and a student at Soaring Cloud Academy, Gu Yunxi was well-versed in poetry and song.

Yet this?

This was something entirely different.

The lyrics were not only simple and easy to understand, but they also carried a profound beauty—one that tugged at the soul.

"Maybe the boss wrote it himself?" Yao Ziyan mused.

"But..." Gu Yunxi hesitated. "The lyrics clearly tell the story of an emperor longing for a woman."

Yao Ziyan's heart skipped a beat.

Did this mean the boss had someone in his heart already?

Almost instinctively, she turned to look at Luo Chuan, who was lounging at the store's entrance.

For a moment, she felt an odd sense of unease—

Then, just as quickly, she let out a soft breath, relieved.

No, there was nothing to worry about.

With the boss's personality, how could he possibly have the air of an emperor?

If anything, he was more like a... salted fish.

Ahem. No! That was definitely not what she meant!

The boss was a wise and profound man! Not a salted fish!

Shaking off her thoughts, Yao Ziyan made a decision. "Let's just ask the boss directly."

Together, the two approached Luo Chuan.

"Boss, boss..."

Their voices were soft, almost coaxing.

Luo Chuan, who had just dozed off, slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw were two beautiful faces leaning toward him.

There's a saying—beautiful things bring happiness.

And just like that, any irritation at being woken up vanished completely.

"What is it?" Luo Chuan asked as he lazily stood up.

"I wanted to ask," Yao Ziyan began curiously, "Boss, did you write those lyrics yourself?"

Luo Chuan blinked, confused at the sudden question.

Then, he shook his head. "Of course not."

Lyrics that profound? With his literary talent? Not a chance.

Even though this was a different world and no one would question if he claimed authorship, that just wasn't his style.

"I see." Yao Ziyan nodded, finally feeling at ease.

"Boss, what's the name of that song?" Gu Yunxi asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.

Luo Chuan glanced at them and replied, "The World."

"Such a beautiful name!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Both Yao Ziyan and Gu Yunxi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Luo Chuan, watching their reactions, felt a quiet sense of satisfaction.

It was the feeling of seeing his hometown's culture recognized in another world—a small, inexplicable joy.

At the same time, an idea formed in his mind.
