The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 16 Mu Sheng
Jiu Shen watched the two women empty their cups, his lips slightly curled. He then patted their heads and told them. “Don't forget your job. Theia, if anyone makes trouble, just throw it away. As for Hestia, get her Ice milk in the kitchen and give her a full bowl.”
“Ya sir.”
“Ya sir.”
The two beauties left to do their duty while Jiu Shen opened the door.
A biting ray of light touched his expressionless face after opening the door. Theia stood beside the entrance while looking at the incoming customers coldly.
“Lord Wine Jiu, good morning!” Liu Xiufeng greeted with sparkling eyes after seeing Jiu Shen open the shop. He was also surprised to see the interior of the shop. ‘How can the store grow this size only overnight?’ Liu Xiufeng's eyes widened as he looked at the shop's new furniture. ‘But I'm sure the outside still looks small. This..’
Although curious, he still chose silence. He knew that Wine Master Jiu was not a simple person. Especially after seeing how respectful the imperial defenders spoke to him yesterday. They even chose to compromise with Wine Master Jiu and swallow their pride.
He then stepped inside the store and froze for a moment after seeing a cold gaze coming from the side. He stiffly turned his head and looked at the blonde beauty who was looking at him coldly. He hurriedly avoided his gaze and hurriedly followed behind Jiu Shen.
“Lord Wine Jiu, who is that ice-cold beautiful woman next to that door?” Liu Xiufeng whispered softly as he poked Jiu Shen's shoulder with his index finger.
Jiu Shen did not glance at him and only replied indifferently. “Don't mind him. As for who he is, you will know soon.”
Many thoughts flashed in Liu Xiufeng's head after hearing Jiu Shen's faint reply. ‘He's not Wine Master Jiu's little lover, is he? And why can't I feel the power of that little girl? Could it..’
Hestia came out with a bowl of milk. Behind him was the fat cat Ice. It meowed at Hestia adorablely while chasing after her, or perhaps, chasing after the bowl of milk in her hand.
“Es Small, this is susumu.” Hestia put down a bowl of milk and rubbed the thick white fur of Ice. Ice clapped her hands before continuing to lick her milk.
Hestia giggled after seeing the fat cat's rebellious nature. He then stood up and glanced at Liu Xiufeng with a bright smile on his face. “What is your order, Mister?”
Liu Xiufeng was stunned after seeing his smile. And he felt the whole world freeze. ‘This is how a woman should behave, soft and sweet. How lucky the Wine Master Jiu ..’ Liu Xiufeng thought inwardly with admiration.
“Master? May I have your order?” Hestia smiled as she asked Liu Xiufeng for attention.
“Ahh... Right.. Please give me two bottles of Ables Blanc.” Liu Xiufeng said his orders with an embarrassed smile.
“OK, sir. Give me a minute.” Hestia turned around and gracefully walked towards the wine storage area. Liu Xiufeng noticed his retreating figure, or rather, he noticed his swaying buttocks as he walked towards the wine storage area. “Wow! 100 points!” He unconsciously spoke.
Jiu Shen who was sitting opposite him glanced at him. “What?”
A short while later, Boss Scar arrived with his brothers who were mercenaries. He even brought a few more people over from yesterday. After getting inside the store, they were surprised to see a massive change overnight.
They also saw the cold Theia standing quietly at the entrance.
Some mercenaries even glanced lewdly at his tempting feet. Theia frowned after seeing their disrespectful behavior.
“Hey, small beautiful. Would you like a drink with this big brother? Don't worry, the bill is on me.” A muscular mercenary said as he looked at Theia's young body openly.
Another mercenary laughed while looking at her with an understanding smile. “That's right, little beauty. We brothers will treat you with wine as long as you accompany us later.”
More mercenaries laughed as they surrounded Theia, leaving no room for her to escape.
Boss Scar frowned after seeing their actions. He brought them here to let them taste Wine Master Jiu's wine. He even warned them not to create trouble inside the store.
“Brother Mu Sheng, don't make trouble here. The store owner is not someone you want to provoke.” Boss Scar held onto the muscular man's shoulder with a serious look.
The muscular man named Mu Sheng glanced at Boss Scar with slight annoyance. “Uns injured, you think you are who to stop me, Mu Sheng, do what I want?”
Boss Scar's face turned cold upon hearing Mu Sheng's words, but he still refrained from attacking the other party. Although he was no weaker than Mu Sheng, he was still afraid of the person he served.
“Do not blame me for not warning you.” Boss Scar said coldly before he led his brothers towards where Liu Xiufeng was sitting.
Mu Sheng glanced disdainfully at Boss Scar's back and muttered. “Coward!”
Boss Scar saw Jiu Shen sitting on a chair with his eyes tightly closed. She wanted to order but she was afraid of bothering him, so waited patiently.
“Don't worry, Boss Scar. Someone else will take your order. As for that stupid horde, just wait and see. That blonde beauty is someone from this store, and I can't believe that she's just an ordinary girl. Even Wine Master Jiu did not move. That means, the woman is not as simple as it seems.” Liu Xiufeng patted Boss Scar on the shoulder as he spoke. Even though he looked rude and disrespectful, he was still smarter than these simple-minded mercenaries.
“What? That young lady is someone from this store?” Boss Scar exclaimed as he looked at Theia who was surrounded by over ten mercenaries.
Liu Xiufeng nodded his head with a cold smile as he looked at Mu Sheng and his cronies as if they were a bunch of monkeys in a circus.
Boss Scar glanced at Theia curiously after seeing Liu Xiufeng's affirmation. ‘Since he is someone from this store, he should be able to hold back against Mu Sheng and his men. If he can't, then Wine Master Jiu will definitely make a move to help him.’ Thinking of that, Boss Scar's eyes twinkled.
