The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 123 Misconceptions
As Jiu Shen stepped out of the Refining Hall, he saw that Can Ye was sitting in a random corner while covering her ears with both hands. This confused Jiu Shen, so he walked up to her and asked in a curious voice. “Can Ye, what are you covering your ears for?”
With Can Ye's cultivation level, even though he was much weaker compared to Jiu Shen, he still felt the presence of his master approaching him and when he heard him speak, he still felt the presence of his master approaching him, Can Ye looked at her with an unusual gaze and shook her head forcefully. “Master, I didn't hear anything, I swear!”
After hearing his reply, Jiu Shen was initially confused, but then he thought of something, which made his eyes twitch. His gaze towards Can Ye turned extremely violent, causing Can Ye to further misunderstand the situation.
‘Did you just ... with older sister? I'm sure it's the voice of big sister.. So master is very fierce even in that field.’ Can Ye muttered in his heart.
“Teacher, I will not talk about this to anyone and no other soul will know that this is happening! I swear under the heavens that this will remain a secret and if I break this promise, may heaven burn my soul!” Can Ye stood up as she made the heavenly vow with a serious expression on her face, but this made Jiu Shen's face twitch even more.
A heavenly oath is a demon oath that is usually made to protect a secret, and if that oath is broken, the one who swears will soon be punished by the lightning of tribulation. Merely, this scene looked comical in Jiu Shen's eyes…
‘This child.. I have not even spoken.. Oh well..’ Jiu Shen sighed in his heart.
“Room up and have Hestia come down here.” Jiu Shen said in a calm voice as she looked at Can Ye's ever-changing facial features.
Can Ye nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice and replied with a quivering voice. “Y-Yes, sir!”
After bowing to Jiu Shen, he immediately ran out of the second floor, but before he could step outside, he suddenly heard Jiu Shen's indifferent voice.
“Oh, and ah, have him bring some clothes for Sulan.”
Can Ye almost stumbled upon hearing those words, fortunately, she was able to balance herself after taking a few steps.
‘Master is mighty! He didn't even spare his sister's clothes!’
With a face full of respect, Can Ye replied. “I'll be right back, mister.”
Jiu Shen waved his right hand impatiently and did not even bother looking at Can Ye's figure. He was afraid that he would beat the latter to death if he saw his strange expression.
“It will be a long night.. If Theia hears this, it is most likely that she will come here and make things worse. That child Can Ye... Sigh .” Jiu Shen shook his head with a wry smile covering his handsome face.

On the same night.
Inside the Silver Wing Empire's imperial throne room, Emperor Elyk Silveria was already wearing a new set of robes and he was sitting on his throne with a dignified expression on his face.
In front of him were four imperial guards who had cultivation levels at the peak of the 7th rank Emperor Realm. It wouldn't be long before they broke through to the next realm seeing their true essence being stable and powerful.
“Your Majesty, what will Wine Master Jiu do with those hundred people?” Defender Duanmu asked with a curious look. He was together with the emperor when the latter had discussed with Jiu Shen, but unfortunately, he was not allowed to join their discussion.
Emperor Elyk recalled the scene when Jiu Shen blocked the breath of dragon fire with just one hand. Such an attack was enough to annihilate half of Beltran City, but Jiu Shen only used a hand to fend off the raging fireball. Emperor Elyk thought that he had overestimated Jiu Shen's strength, but it seemed that he had underestimated Jiu Shen's true strength.
‘Such strength... Is Wine Master Jiu someone above Saint ranked 9th?’
Emperor Elyk sighed in his heart.
Emperor Elyk glanced at the four old men kneeling before him and smiled in satisfaction. They were willing to stay and die with him even in the most precarious situations, so he was happy to have loyal subordinates.
“I've tried asking Wine Master Jiu about what he would do with those hundred people, but he refuses to answer me. Not too much anyway, so we can give him what he wants. Furthermore, with his strength, he could have long since conquered my Silver Wing Kingdom, but he did not. With this alone, I can say that he does not harbor malicious intentions, so hurry up and set this up correctly.” Emperor Elyk was still unsure about the purpose Jiu Shen lived in within Beltran City, but he welcomed his presence especially after what had happened recently.
Defender Duanmu and the three defenders lowered their heads in reverence.
“Yes Your Majesty!” They answered in unison.
Emperor Elyk closed his eyes as a female figure with ice-cold blue hair suddenly appeared in his mind. He could not help but shake his head and quietly bury this unrequited emotion deep in his heart. “Finally I can relax. With a man like Wine Master Jiu standing behind him, he would definitely reach a height that only I could see. Lu Sulan, good luck.” Mumbles in your heart. .

All the main households within Beltran City were still unable to calm themselves even if the dragon was no longer visible. They looked at the huge giant towering in the sky as it looked down at them as if it was looking at a group of ants. They could not forget how it had almost obliterated the entire capital in just two attacks. However, their shock was also due to the presence of the great emperor during the event.
The fearless and treacherous Emperor Elyk of the past had returned with a much more terrifying strength! Some are happy about this, but some also feel uneasy.
Inside the estate of the Xue Family, Elder Ming was seen standing with his hands behind his back. The look on his face was unsightly as he stared at the three figures in front of him.
“You all failed to take the Earth Origin Dragon Tree and even Shiti Xibo died! Stupid useless!” Elder Ming's face furrowed in anger as his saliva rained down on the faces of the three old men kneeling before him.
The three old men were none other than Da Bi, Mu Bai, and Cai Jun who were the elders of the Immortal Corpse Sect! They actually showed terrified expressions as they knelt in front of Elder Ming!
“Tuan Sect Master, there is a very powerful expert in that shop. He should be on the same level as Sect Master in terms of cultivation prowess. Furthermore, the emperor also offered his help to them even Shao Fenhua of the Red Sun. Sect can only escape from the scene.” Da Bi's voice trembled slightly as he spoke. The person in front of him was the person he feared the most in his entire life. He might look like a friendly old man, but behind his facade was an evil personality with great power!
Cai Jun and Mu Bai remained silent and they did not even dare to raise their heads. Grain of thick sweat dripped down their wrinkled faces as they faced the oppressive aura of Elder Ming.
Elder Ming snorted and waved his sleeve, throwing the three old men several tens of meters away from him.
Swoosh's.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
The three hurriedly kneeled down after standing with great difficulty. Blood dripped from their lips and their bodies trembled unceasingly in trepidation.
“This is just a light punishment. Get out of my sight before I kill you!” Elder Ming shouted with a dark face.
Dabi and the other two immediately rushed out of the scene and they even tripped as they left.
Elder Ming stared at their receding figures with a trace of killing intent, but he decided to let them go. “Jiu Shen's. Shen Jiu. Shen Jiu. I have severely underestimated you and I have even lost a capable elder! Moreover, that dragon came earlier..It was definitely a Saint ranked 9th stage pinnacle, so how old was it? Elyk managed to defeat him?! I can't believe it was done by him, but I have to be careful with my actions now!”
Elder Ming's voice carried a deep tone of anger and hatred, but his crinkled face slowly returned to looking as friendly and kind as ever. It is as if two people with different personalities exist in one body…
His figure slowly turned into a small cloud of dark gas before disappearing from the scene.
