The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 148 The Illusory World
Jiu Shen felt a strong killing intent piercing through his back and he could not help but smile amusedly. An invisible glimmer of fury flashed in front of his pair of silver eyes as Jiu Shen turned to face the bald man with a calm gaze.
“I chose to ignore this ant early because I didn't want to dirty my hands with its dirty blood, but who knows this person is actually tired of living…” muttered Jiu Shen while staring at the bald man as if he was looking at a corpse.
Hu Xiandao, Boss Scar, and the others who were familiar with Jiu Shen's personality were shocked to hear words like this from him. The Jiu Wine Master in their minds was calm and had a lazy disposition, but this Jiu Shen face in front of them gave off a different feeling.
The bald man's face furrowed in anger when he heard Jiu Shen's words.
“Sister Hu, I want to give you face, but this damned is too much so don't blame me for being merciless!!” The bald man glared at Jiu Shen with a face full of anger.
Jiu Shen's eyes looked calm and serene on the surface, but the killing intent in his heart had reached such a frightening level that everyone could feel the atmosphere around them suddenly descending.
Just because he looked harmless and reserved did not mean Jiu Shen did not want to kill. It was just that he preferred to live a peaceful life in this mortal world, but he never thought that he would really be treated casually by the Nuar humans.
“Looks like I've been really compassionate all this time. Sigh.” Jiu Shen shook his head lightly and the majestic and powerful demeanor of one of the top paragons in the Primordial God Realm suddenly exploded from existence, bringing admiration and fear to the crowd who was watching.
Jiu Shen's eyes were still calm, but this time, even the weakest among everyone present could already feel the oppressive might that Jiu Shen possessed.
The bald man's eyes widened in panic and he immediately regretted his carelessness. To think that this invisible brat older than twenty could actually emit an earth-shaking aura. This really pissed the bald man off in his heart, but he could do nothing but sigh at himself with a bitter look.
“Small sister-“
pu's.
Like a watermelon being hit by a huge mace, the bald man's head suddenly exploded under everyone's shocked gazes.
The headless corpse staggered for a while before falling to the ground.
Thud.
Fear enveloped the hearts of the watching crowd after seeing how a 7th rank Emperor realm expert had died just like that. He could not even continue speaking before his head exploded into a bloody mess. Cruelty like that…
Jiu Shen's silver eyes were still calm as if nothing important had happened. He then grabbed the dumbfounded Xia Xinyue towards the deeper part of the mysterious cave while ignoring the crowd standing glued to their spot.
Suddenly, Hu Xiandao, Boss Scar, and the others heard Jiu Shen's voice inside their heads. “Leave this place. You will only seek death if you foolishly go inside.”
After which, they all looked at each other and smiled wryly at themselves.
“Come back. Since Wine Master Jiu has already spoken, we should listen to his orders.” Hu Xiandao said to Boss Scar and his friends. At first, they were strangers, but after a casual chat with each other, Hu Xiandao learned that they were actually Jiu Shen's customers, so he was ready to help them and prevent them from dying. If not for the help of these barbarians, Boss Scar and his companions might have already lost their lives.
Boss Scar glanced at Jiu Shen's back with a complicated look and shook his head. “Wine Master Jiu had hidden herself deeply, but it seemed like she was now letting others see her true strength. Is this a good or bad thing?” He muttered in a barely visible voice.
“Luckily, I'm not his enemy.” He muttered in his heart with relief.
After which, their group started to leave the mysterious cave. When the other group saw them off, they immediately abandoned the idea of going deeper into the cave, but a few brave souls still dared to go deeper with resolute faces.

In the mysteries of level 3, the scene in front of Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue suddenly changed.
In front of them was a vast expanse of greenery, high mountains, and beautiful rivers. There were also some ferocious beasts that let out a loud roar after sensing the arrival of the couple.
Xia Xinyue's pretty face revealed a hint of pleasant surprise when she saw the beautiful scenery in front of them.
“Illusion World?” Jiu Shen muttered softly and nodded his head inside.
“The person who owns this place is not just an ordinary Origin God Realm expert if he is able to build this illusionary world. If it was not eroded by the endless passage of time, it could trap the experts of the Nascent God Realm, but now, it could only organize experts under the 9th rank Saint realm. Too bad.” Jiu Shen said in a relaxed tone, but Xia Xinyue who heard his words suddenly revealed a hint of cruelty and she let out a cold and gleaming sword before plunging towards Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen sneered as he rubbed his right arm, brandishing it like a dragon claw that instantly tore through the air and split apart Xia Xinyue's body.
Died already.
The scene in front of Jiu Shen once again changed. This time, he returned into the cold and gloomy cave with dim lighting.
He saw that Xia Xinyue was still under the influence of the illusionary world, but he did not directly help her and instead went to the corner of the third level. He then pressed his hand on the protruding part of the wall, which caused a click sound to echo faintly.
Clik.
And as if forcefully awakening from her long slumber, Xia Xinyue panted while holding onto her large chest with a terrified expression. He finally realized that the beautiful place he had seen before was just an illusion created by a high-level array formation. Thinking of this, sweat poured down her pretty face as her chest rose and fell as she breathed heavily.
He then looked in front of her and his eyes showed a hint of horror after realizing that his friend was not around. Shen Jiu. Sect Master Jiu Shen. Where's she? He suddenly felt a void as if he was abandoned by the world …
Stepped over. Stepped over. Stepped over.
When she heard those footsteps, Xia Xinyue suddenly turned around and immediately ran towards Jiu Shen after seeing her figure. She dived into his arms and sobbed like a married woman who finally saw her husband after being separated for years.
Jiu Shen's eyes flickered and wanted to push her away, but when she heard the sound of her sobs, she just stood there stupidly and let him vent his emotions.
‘Ays. I shouldn't have brought him here.’.
