The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 23 – Because You Tell Me
Liu Mengdi sighed in relief after hearing his words. ‘What can a store like this sell?’
Jiu Shen pointed to the blackboard with a calm expression and said. “You may want to see the price.”
Liu Mengdi shook her head, but she still saw the blackboard. When he saw the unreasonable price, he knew that he was being cheated. ‘Fucking wine sells for 120 True Crystals and dishes for 100 True Crystals? This guy must have robbed us in broad daylight! Fuck!’ But he knew that they would not be able to get out of the store if they did not agree to his terms, so he had no choice.
Jiu Shen could already guess what she was thinking but she did not care about their opinion. He was sure that they would be satisfied with his things after trying them out.
With a forced smile on his face, Liu Mengdi said with a bleeding heart. “Mr-Master, I .. I agree with your terms, but can you let go of us?”
Jiu Shen nodded his head and recalled the spiritual power he unleashed.
Liu Mengdi and his subordinates felt that the heavy feeling was finally gone. They were lying on the floor panting. They did not even dare to glance at Jiu Shen out of fear if they accidentally stirred up his anger.
“Theia, don't let them go while I take their wine.” Jiu Shen said as he went towards the wine storage area.
‘The young patriarch's son is still in the 4th ranked Knight Crusader and his subordinates are also on the same level as him. So they could only drink one cup of Deep Sea Spring Dew, so that meant I could only give them five bottles. And if they ate the dish, then their bodies would definitely explode due to the excessive accumulation of true essence. Goddamn bum! Why are the humans in this world so weak?’ Jiu Shen thought inwardly with regret.
He grabbed the five Deep Sea Spring Dew with a sour expression before he exited the wine storage area. He then placed five bottles of wine on the table before glancing at Liu Mengdi and his soldiers who were still lying on the floor.
After sensing his unfriendly gaze, Liu Mengdi and his soldiers immediately stood up. Their tired appearance was instantly erased as they glanced at Jiu Shen fearfully.
Jiu Shen was still in a bad mood as he could only sell five wines to them. He then said in a cold tone, “You can only drink one cup of wine. Don't tell me I didn't warn you.”
Like a chicken pecking at rice, Liu Mengdi and his soldiers nodded their heads before circling the table where Jiu Shen placed the wine.
“This egg is called Deep Sea Spring Dew, enjoy.” Jiu Shen said before he sat down on the chair.
Liu Mengdi sighed in relief after only seeing the five wines on the table. “At least this person makes sense.” He then told one of his subordinates to open a bottle for him.
The moment the soldier opened the wine bottle, the scent of wine spread in the air around them. Their faces became attractive to look at after smelling the fragrant aroma of wine. “This egg...”
“This smell ... This is the Deep Sea Dew of the Heavenly Wind Sea! How is this possible?! The place where it can be extracted is below sea level where the high level water beast is located.” Liu Mengdi was familiar with the smell of the Deep Sea Dew because it was one of his father's heavily guarded treasures. It was extremely expensive for groceries and sold over a dozen True Crystals per gram. It has the effect of true essence me and calms one's nerves. It was an extremely rare material that many people were looking for.
Upon hearing his words, the soldier holding the wine bottle was dumbfounded. His hands trembled as he carefully held the wine bottle as if it was a fragile jade.
The soldier was stunned but after seeing the young patriarch's serious expression, he was in a dilemma. “Young patriarch, I dare not hurt you ..”
Liu Mengdi ignored him and only glanced at the golden liquid shining in his cup. The aroma she emitted removed her fatigue and fear. He then gulped down the contents of his cup with his eyes closed.
When the golden liquid touched his tongue, he felt like he was placed in an extremely cold Frozen Edge Glacier and when the liquid reached his throat, he felt a hot feeling as if his body was enveloped in flames. The sweet taste of Deep Sea Dew combined with two different flavors makes it produce a moan of pleasure. “Ahhh.”
Upon seeing his expression, the soldiers could no longer hold back. They opened the other four bottles of wine and poured the wine into their cups.
The soldiers each drank one cup with faces full of pleasure.
“This wine is much better than the one sold in the Crouching Dragon Pavilion.”
“They taste like water when compared to this wine. There is such a big difference in taste.”
“Hahaha! I'm barging! I broke through!” A soldier laughing loudly caused everyone to glance at him in surprise.
“Hahah I also broke through!”
“I am too!”
“I three!”
After drinking one cup of wine, several warriors broke through the small realm. Even Liu Mengdi was surprised to see that. If it was a cultivation pill then he wouldn't be surprised, but they only drank a cup of wine so his shock was understandable.
Liu Mengdi grabbed a soldier and pointed a finger at his face before he said. “This.... What the fuck is this? I must be dreaming. It must be an illusion.. Hey you, hit me.”.
The drunk soldier smiled foolishly and punched Liu Mengdi in the face.
“Pak!”
The soldier's fist hit Liu Mengdi's nose which caused Liu Mengdi to grimace in pain. “Ouch! Why did you hit me?”
“Because you told me.” The drunk soldier innocently replied while shrugging his shoulders.
