The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 233 This Is Just the Beginning
“Master Wine Jiu, before we go. I'd like to invite you to witness Xue Tong's execution three days from now in front of the imperial palace.” Emperor Elyk said as he looked at Jiu Shen.
“Not interested.” Jiu Shen rejected him indifferently.
Emperor Elyk was speechless at his flat rejection, but he had already prepared his heart for this, so he simply smiled awkwardly at Jiu Shen.
“Then, we will go, Mr. Wine Jiu.” Emperor Elyk said as he cupped his fists respectfully. His father followed and cupped his fists. Even though he was already an expert of the Nascent God Realm, the old man had a strange feeling that he would not even survive a single blow if he were to fight with the man in front of him. Just thinking about it made his pair of old legs shiver in fear.
“I will tell my student, Can Ye, to watch this event on my behalf. Now, get out of my sight.” Jiu Shen said before he closed his eyes.
Emperor Elyk pulled his parents out of the second floor after bowing lightly to Jiu Shen. It was not a good idea to linger inside after they were told to leave especially with Theia and Ren Shuang observing the entire store.
The old man glanced at Ren Shuang whose eyes were tightly closed. He could now feel how powerful this person was and it made his eyes tremble in shock. ‘Aura very thick killing! How many lives did he take to reach this point?! I can even feel a little fear despite the fact that I am one big world stronger than him! Scary!’
At this moment, the old man no longer dared to take this quiet man lightly. From what he felt about Ren Shuang's aura, the latter was enveloped by the dense air of an invisible bloody atmosphere. It was so dense that he could even smell death while he was in front of Ren Shuang!
After the father and son duo left the second floor, Ren Shuang slowly opened her eyes and glanced in the direction they were heading. “A Newborn God Realm expert? Too bad he's too old.” He muttered in a deep voice.
Jiu Shen stood up after a moment of silence. He then walked towards the Refining Hall to inspect his two alchemy disciples.
Two old men sat cross-legged in front of their own alchemy furnaces. They looked solemn as they refined the dans inside the furnace using the technique Jiu Shen had taught them recently.
Jiu Shen watched the two old men with unblinking gazes. He then shook his head lightly before leaving the Refining Hall. ‘Both are hardworking people, but their lack of talent is blocking them from making improvements. From the way they perfected their dans, it can be seen that their experience in handling materials for many years was not entirely in vain, but this can be improved once they learn more of my alchemy techniques. Even so, they will need a lot of time before they achieve a breakthrough in alchemy, but with my teachings, I should be able to shorten this process ..’
Jiu Shen was deep in thought and she realized that she was already standing in front of her room. He slowly opened the door and saw a little girl sleeping on her bed with a big snot bubble. He chuckled when he saw this. She then sat on the bed and stroked the little girl's cheeks with a hint of warmth on her expressionless face. ‘Give me a little more time, Little Tiger. After the opening ceremony of my sect, I will immediately take you to the Holy Beast Continent to look for your parents. I just hope no problems arise before the time comes.’.
The sleeping Lolita curled closer to Jiu Shen's hand after feeling her warmth. He then muttered a series of incomprehensible words before biting Jiu Shen's finger.
Jiu Shen's lips shot upwards when he saw this. He then gently pulled her hand, but the little girl refused to let go of his hold on her.
Jiu Shen looked at the little girl speechlessly before taking out a bottle of milk from her outer space earrings. He then placed the tip of the bottle near the little girl's nose which made her little nose twitch continuously. And as if using stimulants, he snatched the milk bottle from Jiu Shen's hand before sucking the contents with his eyes still closed.
Jiu Shen patted her little head before leaving her room.
“I have to check the construction of the sect building. From what Ren Shuang said to me, the sect building should be completed in a few days. It was indeed a good idea to leave this job to Liuli and Xia Xinyue.” He muttered as he teleported out of his shop.
The unfinished sect building was only a few hundred meters away from his wine shop and he could already see it from above. It was designed by him, but he could not help feeling happy after seeing it right before his eyes.
“This is just the beginning. It was still too far away to return to the Primordial God Realm. I shouldn't have rushed into this. After all, Lao Gou's old fart didn't realize that I was still alive. For now, I have to build my own strength that will fight against that old fart's Heavenly Paragon Tower Jiu Shen muttered, his gaze now directed towards the distant sky.
