The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 213 Jiu Shen Promise
The Emperor found himself speechless and curious at Jiu Shen's words. He was slightly surprised by Jiu Shen's knowledge of this matter that seemed ordinary to him. ‘Why Does Wine Master Jiu know so much about this?’
“Master of Wine Jiu, you mean there is someone from the Xue Family and the Immortal Corpse Sect with such strength?” Emperor Elyk easily concluded after he heard Jiu Shen's words.
Jiu Shen nodded and replied. “Indeed. Do you know Elder Ming?”
Emperor Elyk searched through his memories and recalled a kind-looking middle-aged man. He then nodded his head. “Yes, I know him. He should have been an elder in the Xue Family. Wait... You mean... he is a Nascent God Realm expert?!” The emperor exclaimed in shock.
Jiu Shen remained silent, but the emperor immediately understood it. His confidence suddenly diminished after hearing all of this and he became worried about the upcoming fight against their troops.
The emperor's confidence came from his father who was a peak stage 9th rank Saint. He thought that with his father's strength, he would be able to destroy the Xue Family and the Immortal Corpse Sect, but who knew that he had truly underestimated them …
Jiu Shen speechlessly watched the emperor's ever-changing expression and he waited for the latter to gather himself.
Emperor Elyk sorted out his thoughts as he slowly calmed himself down. He had to remain calm in this kind of situation and his anxiety would never help him overcome this.
“The Xue family turned our attention to the fake news they spread saying that the Beiming Family is dealing with the Blue Fang Empire. They purposely did so to keep our focus on the Blue Fang Empire and the Beiming Family movement, he said, but the Xue Family is actually colluding with the Immortal Corpse Sect in secret because my Silveria Imperial Family troops are busy observing different issues. So this was their plan from the beginning. That elder Ming was indeed very cunning! And how is it going? he increased his strength that much in such a short time?!” Emperor Elyk exclaimed with a serious expression. This made him feel an invisible mountain pressing down on him.
“Elyk, let's stop the chase. What's your plan?” Jiu Shen suddenly interrupted.
The Emperor regained his stance after hearing Jiu Shen's words. He silently pondered and his eyes slowly grew cold as he replied in a condescending tone. “It looks like I was too confident that I failed to see this coming. Mr. Wine Jiu, please protect Sylvia and Dante.”
The Emperor suddenly stood up from his seat and bowed deeply at Jiu Shen. “Lord Wine Jiu, please help us!”
Jiu Shen was a little surprised, but his expression remained calm and indifferent.
“Wine Master Jiu, I know that I will not be able to give you something you want, but I still hope you can offer your help to us. I'm not going to promise you anything in return, but I'm going to give you anything I can offer.” Emperor Elyk said sincerely.
Emperor Elyk was willing to give up the rest of his pride just to get help from Jiu Shen. He knew that this man was the only person who could help him win this war. He could not forget the day when the man stopped a raging dragon with just one hand. The scene was deeply engraved in his mind and it still made him palpitate in awe every time he remembered it.
Jiu Shen glanced at the emperor who was still maintaining his deep bow. He could not help but admire this man. Not all emperors were willing to give up their pride like this. They were so used to being looked up to by everyone that they always believed that under them they had to submit to someone to get their help. In fact, it did not cross their minds to seek someone's help in that way.
Jiu Shen suddenly laughed lightly which caused the emperor to let his guard down. He could not help but raise his head to look at Jiu Shen. He saw the man's slightly visible smile. This was the first time he had heard Jiu Shen laugh and it shocked him.
‘So even someone like Wine Master Jiu knows how to just laugh?’ He thinks.
“Elyk, I must say that your character has impressed me. Alright, I promise that your Silveria Imperial Family will never be overthrown for the next thousand years.” Jiu Shen said as he looked at the stunned emperor with a calm look. He said those words as if he was just saying something unimportant.
Emperor Elyk suddenly felt the heavy weight he felt for several days disappear. He looked at Jiu Shen with gratitude and he could even say anything due to the overwhelming emotions he felt. He knew how heavy Jiu Shen's promise was and he also knew that Jiu Shen was truly capable of doing what he promised.
“I just hope that someday I will leave this world, your Silveria Imperial Family will protect my store.” Jiu Shen said with a distant look.
Emperor Elyk failed to understand his words, but he still nodded his head earnestly. “Wine Master Jiu, I, Elyk Silveria III, promise you that I will never allow anyone to touch your store if that day arrives.”
Jiu Shen's lips slightly raised. He then waved his right hand and said. “Good. Go.”
The Emperor wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only bow to Jiu Shen.
Just as he was about to leave Jiu Shen's room, he suddenly heard the man say.
“You don't have to worry. I'll come at the right time.”
Those words made the emperor smile. He then left Jiu Shen's room without any burden in his heart.
