The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 165 Meeting The Crown Prince Again
Xia Xinyue opened her eyes slowly and when she realized that she was naked, she suddenly recalled the incident that happened last night. Thinking of that, his face turned a crimson red as he hurriedly covered himself with a blanket to hide his embarrassment.
He then examined her body and he discovered that Jiu Shen did not touch her most intimate part. He let out a sigh of relief, but he also felt a hint of disappointment.
Touching the empty bed, Xia Xinyue could not help but smile desperately. In the end, he could only bury his sorrow while thinking of Jiu Shen's warm laughter last night.
On the ground floor of the Green Wood Pavilion was a common dining room. Jiu Shen sat alone in one corner while pulling the cork of the wine bottle he ordered from the kitchen. He wanted to try if their wine was at least comparable to his Mystic Jade.
Pop.
After taking out the cork, Jiu Shen filled his cup with wine, but when he saw a slightly turbid yellowish liquid flowing into his cup, his interest faded slightly. He then held the cup near his nose and sniffed lightly.
What a sour smell!
Jiu Shen frowned and his curiosity subsided after smelling the sour aroma of wine. He did not like it, but he still took a slight sip from his cup.
Sip.
Jiu Shen's lips twitched as he disappointedly placed his cup on the table. “It looks like there are only a few good wines in this world. Too bad.” He muttered silently as he looked at the visitors with curious gazes. Among them, he could see the familiar face of crown prince Reinhardt, and he was talking to some middle-aged people who looked like mercenaries. Their strength was not bad, but it was still not enough to enter his eyes. However, out of curiosity, he decided to listen to their conversation through his spiritual senses.
“Your Highness, what do you think of that senior who faced those big eyes with incredible heroism and majesty?”
Hearing the question, Prince Reinhardt's eyes flashed with an expression of admiration as he recalled the scene. “Senior is much stronger than most experts in our Silver Wing Empire. I think only the father of the emperor can be his opponent.” Although he sounded a bit insecure, he did not want to weaken the strength of his father the emperor. After all, he had also seen how his father was dealing with a dragon in Beltran City. He was even able to scare the dragon with his strength.
Everyone still believed that it was Emperor Elyk who made the dragon retreat because they did not see everything clearly at that moment.
At the mention of the emperor, admiration and adoration flashed in the eyes of the mercenaries before suddenly dimming. Even though the emperor was a strong person, the man they saw yesterday was simply too outstanding, and they believed that he should be stronger than the emperor, he said, but they did not dare to say it out loud as they might be punished for it especially with the presence of the crown prince.
“Your Highness, can you tell us why you called us here?”
Prince Reinhardt smiled at them and replied. “I want to go back to Beltran City, but I found a beautiful fairy here in Green Wood Pavilion, so I decided to stay one more day here.”
The mercenaries looked at each other with meaningful smiles when they heard the crown prince's words. They knew that this seemingly harmless man was a capricious person who loved beautiful women, so they were not surprised when they heard his words.
“Then what do you want us to do, Your Majesty?”
Prince Reinhardt's smile disappeared and was replaced by a serious look as he recalled the long silver-haired man. Reinhardt felt a sense of defeat as he looked at the face of the peerless man. Even someone as confident as Reinhardt felt his pride was devastated when he compared himself to the man.
“Oh, so look at it. Don't worry, Your Majesty. We will not let the man interfere when you move to win the heart of the beauty. Hahaha!”
“Really! Leave this to us, Your Majesty!”
The mercenaries laughed confidently as they cheered the crown prince with a lick smile. They were also experts, but they did not have a strong background like the crown prince, so they wanted to lock themselves in his thigh to gain more resources to increase their cultivation. They are ready to do anything just to get the good books. After all, this man was the crown prince, and he was the one most likely to inherit the throne.
Jiu Shen who was listening from the sidelines was amused by their conversation. ‘Ay, Elyk. Your third son is gifted in military art and stratagems, but he is arrogant and haughty. Your second son is most likely already dead because the demons are now occupying his body. As for this eldest son of yours, he might be talented in cultivation, but his fickle heart would be his downfall. Too bad! Although your three eldest sons are tigers like you, their characters are flawed.’
Suddenly, Jiu Shen saw a familiar figure in the corner of his vision. He raised his head and looked at the owner of the Green Wood Pavilion, Liuli. She had a charming and seductive aura as she walked towards the dining room, and she would smile at her guests from time to time.
Everyone who looked at him smiled mysteriously as they stared at his exposed skin. Their eyes were already twinkling with an unknown light as they glanced unblinkingly at his voluptuous figure.
Liuli was already used to scenes like this, so she did not take their actions inwardly.
“Owner Liuli, what a coincidence to see you here!” Prince Reinhardt got up from his seat as he greeted Liuli with a charming smile. She was one of the women he coveted the most, but her strength was unfathomable so she did not dare to be careless before him despite her identity as the crown prince.
Liuli stopped in her tracks and she covered her little mouth as she giggled flirtatiously while looking at the crown prince. “Oh, so this is Your Majesty! It's so surprising to see you here so early! I wonder what brings His Majesty's presence here in my humble place.” Liuli glanced at the crown prince with a curious smile even though she already knew that she was here for beauty. In fact, the crown prince had always come here for the same reason, to hunt for beauty. However, he did not expose it as it was unwise to provoke the crown prince to this kind of trouble. Of course, if he was here to take liberties with her, then that would be a different story.
Prince Reinhardt only chuckled when he heard his question. He also did not forget to catch a glimpse of Liuli's deep cleavage. ‘Ay! This fox is too seductive that I want to grab it and finish it. It's a pity that he has a little bit of strength, but it won't be long before I can get you for myself. Back then, no matter how strong you were, you couldn't escape my serigala claws.. Hahaha!’ A strange glint flashed imperceptibly in his eyes as he smiled at Liuli just like a respectable man did.
As Liuli was talking to the crown prince, she saw a silhouette alone sitting in a random corner. He looked at her with an indifferent expression, but he did not mind this. He then smiled at the crown prince as he bowed elegantly. “Your Majesty, I still have some things to do. Please excuse this little lady. Hehe.”
Reinhardt nodded his head at her with a warm smile and sat back in his chair. Just then, she saw Liuli walking in a certain direction with quick steps, but when she saw who the person she was aiming for, the smile on the crown prince's face turned ugly and evil, but he quickly hid it. ‘ it! That's her! What does this have to do with the Liuli Owner? Their relationship is not normal. This damn fucker actually dared to steal my woman before my eyes!’
The crown prince's eyes almost spouted flames when he saw how Liuli was acting in front of Jiu Shen. Even retarded people would know that their relationship was not shallow especially after seeing Liuli's respectful and sincere smile.
‘ it! See how I step on you later!’ Reinhardt hid his anger as he walked towards Jiu Shen with his trademark charming smile.
Sensing his arrival, Jiu Shen ignored the noisy Liuli as he looked at this cute crown prince.
Liuli furrowed her brows in displeasure after her time with Jiu Shen was suddenly interrupted by someone, but when she saw who that person was, she held back her frustration. “Your Majesty, do you need anything else from me?”
Prince Reinhardt shook his head with a smile and said. “I just want to be friends with this guy here. I hope Owner Liuli will introduce me to him.”
