The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 104 Discussion With the Emperor
Can Ye was dumbfounded silly, and she even thought that she might have gone crazy. The almighty Emperor of their Silver Wing Kingdom actually acted so reserved and humble in front of the mysterious man who had given him the knife. Who was he to make an expert like the emperor behave as if he was a subordinate?
“Elyk, right? Tell your subordinates to clean up this place. This is bad for my business.” Jiu Shen said as he slowly stood up from his seat.
The ice resting on his lap once again fell to the ground and bounced twice before he managed to stand steadily.
“Meong!”
He voiced his displeasure, but he did not dare to brandish his claws at Jiu Shen anymore. Who knew if that smelly human actually stopped giving him that delicious and delicious milk? After thinking about that, he immediately put on an adorable look as if he had already forgotten what had happened.
Emperor Elyk was at a loss for words, but upon seeing Jiu Shen's deep gaze, he could only put on a forced smile. Wine Master Jiu, since when did my subordinates become your street sweeper? He screamed in his heart.
The soldiers behind Defender Duanmu immediately showed hostile gazes, and if not for the emperor's presence, they would have already pounced towards Jiu Shen and beat him to a pulp. But can they really do that?
Defender Duanmu looked at them coldly while feeling fear in his heart. You dummy! You actually dare to express such a view to this person? Group ! Fortunately, you can still hold back or I will cut off your head personally to defuse the anger of Wine Master Jiu. Defender Duanmu thought as he heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Jiu Shen not caring about him, but then, he felt a strong suppression directed at him, making him take a step back. After regaining her composure, Defender Duanmu saw Theia standing behind Jiu Shen with a dark expression on her face. He swore that he would definitely teach these soldiers a lesson once they returned to the imperial palace …
The Emperor was unaware of this small exchange because his focus was entirely on Jiu Shen. No matter how he looked at the latter, he was still unable to comprehend the depths of his strength. This led him to believe that his previous conjecture of Jiu Shen as a rank 10 God realm expert was most likely true. The emperor's expression became even more respectful after that.
“No problem at all, Wine Master Jiu. And to make sure that those people won't make a fuss anymore, I'll ask some of my men to keep watch here.” Emperor Elyk smiled as he gestured something to Defender Duanmu. The latter understood his point and gathered some soldiers to clear the battlefield.
This time, Can Ye was already numb while listening to the conversation between the two. He would not even be surprised if the emperor would take Jiu Shen as his master…
Jiu Shen pondered for a moment before he shook his head. “There is no need for you to send your subordinates here. Come in, I have a few things to discuss with you personally.”
Emperor Elyk was slightly surprised. He was curious about what Jiu Shen wanted to discuss with him, but after pondering for a while, he still did not know what it was.
Jiu Shen stepped inside the store while the emperor followed behind him obediently.
Defender Duanmu wanted to enter, but then he saw Theia standing at the entrance while shaking her head with a calm look. The others were also curious about what Jiu Shen wanted to discuss with the emperor, but after seeing Theia at the entrance, they instantly erased the thought of eavesdropping.
Just then, a plump white cat paced in front of Theia before stepping inside the shop while occasionally tripping over her fat body.

Jiu Shen sat down before he gestured for the emperor to sit down.
Emperor Elyk looked around the shop and looked impressed by the atmosphere. Furthermore, he had also seen the four Earth Origin Dragon Trees with each yielding three fruits, leaving him stunned. ‘I think the Origin Dragon Tree can only produce one fruit, so why do I see three fruits for each tree?’ Emperor Elyk was confused but he did not dare to ask Jiu Shen.
Normally, the Earth Origin Dragon Tree could only produce one or two fruits, but if planted in a good location with a thick amount of true essence, it could only produce one or two fruits, it does not matter if one tree produces three or more.
Emperor Elyk sighed in his heart and only acted as if he saw nothing. He then sat down in front of Jiu Shen.
The two of them were silent for a moment, but after a while, Emperor Elyk could no longer ask. “Lord Wine Jiu, how can I help you? With your strength, you should be able to dominate everyone in the continent, so how could a small expert like me offer my help to you?” His tone was very humble and there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes when he saw Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen remained silent and took out one bottle of Deep Sea Spring Dew and two silver cups from his outer space earrings. After which, he pulled the cork from the bottle causing the aromatic scent to come out, making the emperor's nose twitch from time to time.
“Good egg!” The Emperor exclaimed as he looked at the wine bottle in Jiu Shen's hand. He also had the precious wine he had, the Phoenix Heavenly Fire Wine. It was valued at 100 True Crystals by the imperial family and there was only a limited amount produced each year. However, the scent of his precious wine paled in comparison to the wine in front of him!
Jiu Shen ignored the hot gaze of the emperor and slowly poured the wine into the two silver cups. He then pushed one cup to the emperor and replied. “I want a hundred slaves with ages between thirteen to nineteen, the younger the better.”
The emperor's outstretched hand came to a halt in the air when he heard Jiu Shen's words. What's he planning?
Emperor Elyk frowned as he tapped the table with his finger. Jiu Shen ignored the emperor's gaze and calmly drank his wine.
“Wine Master Jiu, it is indeed not a problem for me to collect that many slaves to send to you, but I am curious about ..”
Before he could finish his words, Jiu Shen gestured for him to stop talking. “You don't need to know that, but you don't need to worry because I don't plan to conquer your little kingdom.” Jiu Shen put down his cup and glanced at Emperor Elyk indifferently.
Emperor Elyk sighed and shook his head. “If that's the case, I'll send it to you tomorrow.” He muttered in defeat before he drank his wine. The moment it touched his tongue, his eyes lit up and the worry in his heart disappeared like a puff of smoke.
“This egg...”
