THE GREAT GOD
GULP OF WINE
(In the Mayor's office)
In the meeting room the Mayor is seen, Tan Tihuna and General Mao plan to give something valuable to Ryu for helping them.
Tan Tihuna who already knew that Ryu did not want any treasure, then he asked General Mao to look for the most beautiful woman in Chang'an City to serve Ryu.
One by one the Soldiers searched for the girl they thought was the most beautiful until they managed to gather the 20 women.
Not forgetting that General Mao told them their purpose, of course it made the girls very angry because they seemed to be humbled.
But after Mayor Tan Tihuna will give a gift of 100 Thousand Spirit Stones, which makes them immediately melt where as many Spirit Stones are able to support the needs of their families for a year of luxury life.
Coupled with the figure they serve is Song Juan, a confidant of Emperor Ryu and a figure who saved Chang'an city from destruction, of course making them more excited.
But this time Mayor Tan Tihuna only asked for two girls who did it to make the other girl immediately moody because their wishes were not fulfilled.
Of the two girls, they took the most beautiful while the others were instantly repatriated back with little reward for the Spirit Stone as a cover.
" Master... Are you sure of this decision?" General Mao frowned as the two Girls were brought by the Servant to dress up.
" General Mao... Which man is not tempted by women. It just depends on the way they put themselves so as not to be seen as perverts. After all, the two women did not mind either." Tan Tihuna smiled widely.
" If only I had a Princess, then I would not hesitate to make Song Juan my son-in-law. Unfortunately I only have two sons." continued Tan Tihuna.
" I understand Mr. Mayor." General Mao nodded in agreement.
" Now we go to the Moon Jade Inn. The two women's problem is let the soldiers drive them." Tan Tihuna set foot out of his residence followed by General Mao.
*****
(Moon Jade Inn )
While Ryu was cultivating, now Mayor Tan Tihuna and General Mao came to Ryu's room which was also delivered by a Servant.
Ryu stopped his activities and walked towards the door of the room where Tan Tihuna and General Mao were standing in front.
" Greetings Mr. Swordsman... Sorry to interrupt." Tan Tihuna spoke politely.
" It doesn't matter to the Mayor. Please come in." Ryu invited them.
" Mm." Mmm." Tan Tihuna and General Mao nodded then went inside the room.
While the waiter who drove them, immediately left the place to do his job.
" Please sit down." Ryu again invited them to sit down.
Tan Tihuna and General Mao took their seats until they looked at each other as if asking one of them to open a conversation.
Seeing that Ryu immediately took the initiative to open the conversation because the two guests were still silent.
" If you may know, what's up to Lord Mayor and General Mao to bother coming here?" Ryu opened the conversation.
" ah... Here is Mr. Swordsman... Actually, this is about the plan of attack in the White Sand Kingdom. Is Master Swordsman convinced that we are capable of resisting them?" Tan Tihuna spoke carefully for fear of offending Ryu.
" Master... If we don't take action, then the White Sand Kingdom will do a bad thing in the Cloud Empire's territory." Ryu did not want anything to happen the moment he and his wife left the Cloud Empire or even left the Eastern Continent.
For that reason Ryu intends to destroy the White Sand Kingdom and after that Ryu plans to find someone who knows the location of the Middle Continent.
Although Ryu had an Air Ship, Ryu needed someone who had been to the Middle Continent.
" Lord Swordsman... Aren't we asking for help from the Imperial Cloud Palace?" Ask Mayor.
" Has Lord Mayor never investigated the power of the White Sand Kingdom?" Ryu again threw the question to Tan Tihuna.
" We also just learned that the Robber who closed the access to the Imperial Capital of the Clouds was the act of the Axe of Sin Organization paid for by the White Sand Kingdom." Tan Tihuna let out a long breath.
" For information, I think the Moon Jade Inn knows more than us. Because we were also previously aware of this information from the Moon Jade Inn." General Mao spoke.
" The Moon Jade Inn has been very helpful for us all this time. No wonder Emperor Ryu took the Wife of the Owner of this Inn. General Mao. please call a representative of this Moon Jade Inn, as well as what I asked you before." Tan Tihuna glanced at General Mao, as if hinting at something.
" Good Lord Mayor... Then I'll say good." General Mao lowered his head and left the room.
After a while now seen General Mao, Liem Ao Ai and two other women who were with them.
" Greetings Mr. Swordsman, Greetings Mr. Mayor." Liem Ao Ai saluted while glancing towards the wine jar that was still in one piece on the table.
" Please sit down." Ryu greeted them while staring at the other two women with them.
With a nod of General Mao, Liem Ao Ai took a seat opposite Ryu. While the two women directly sat to the left and right of Ryu.
Since the two women were sitting almost attached to Ryu, of course inviting questions for him to immediately turn to Liem Ao Ai and Tan Tihuna as if asking for an explanation.
Seeing Ryu's gaze, Liem Ao Ai smiled faintly as he took out a wine jar and poured it into a cup.
" It's not good to let this precious drink go for granted." Liem Ao Ai took a sip of the wine and poured it into another cup and gave it to Ryu.
Tan Tihuna who was initially very nervous now breathed a sigh of relief because Liem Ao Ai was so quick to respond to the situation.
" Sorry Manager Ai... I'm not used to drinks like this." Ryu subtly refused the gift from Liem Ao Ai.
" Just this time I heard that a great Swordsman is very afraid of wine." Liem Ao Ai smiled wryly as if he could not believe that the young man in front of him had never drank wine.
Where of every Cultivator even the supreme Gods so liked that his name was arak.
But this time they found there was one person who did not want the wine, Ryu, whom they knew by the name of Song Juan.
Tan Tihuna, General Mao and the two women were shocked after hearing Ryu's words.
Hearing the words from Liem Ao Ai, Ryu felt provoked to drink the wine so as not to be harassed as a normal man.
" It looks like this is good." Liem Ao Ai smiled back to look at Ryu's face that was already flushed due to the effects of the wine.
" We better continue the conversation." Ryu held the heat in his throat as he gulped down the wine.
" This is Manager Ai... We would like to request information about the power of the White Sand Kingdom. Do you know that?" Tan Tihuna while gulping down a cup of wine.
Without answering anything, Liem Ao Ai gave the wine jar to the two women beside Ryu and asked them to pour it over to the others.
Liem Ao Ai who understands the situation in which he comes to the conclusion that the two women will serve Ryu for one night.
Liem Ao Ai who has experience in the field of service, then many know that many nobles, many, the government or the great man must be presented with several women to accompany them including what is before him now where the two women will serve Ryu.
" Master... I don't know that either. But some information from the Moon Jade Inn Guards, White Sand Kingdom there are three Generals who have reached the late stage Sky Swordsman. While many others are still in the Earth Swordsman. It's just that I've heard that one ancestor of the White Sand Kingdom has already reached the early stage Heavenly Swordsman." Liem Ao Ai gave the information he knew.
" Gluugs." Tan Tihuna and General Mao gulped at the thought that they were going to attack the White Sand kingdom.
On the other hand Ryu still looks relaxed without feeling the slightest fear, because it is not so difficult for him.
