The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 253 Burning (3)
Princess Sylvia came out of the wine cellar with a beautiful smile on her face. Following behind him was the fourth prince who looked a little nervous.
‘I just hope that we won't be punished too heavily for this. I wonder what would happen to them if they drank this wine?’ The fourth prince thought inwardly as he glanced at the wine they had brought.
The patriarch and his group ordered twelve Ables Blanc, but his sister purposely brought twelve Deep Sea Spring Dew instead. He was not sure what would happen to them if they consumed it all…
‘I remember Wine Master Jiu said that someone will become ‘kaboom’ if their strength is not enough to handle wine energy.’ The fourth prince shivered thinking about it, but he still decided to follow his sister's plan. This was the smallest thing he could do for Liu Mengdi as his friend.
“Loests, this is your order.” Princess Sylvia smiled warmly as she placed the bottles of Deep Sea Spring Dew on the patriarch's table. The corner of his mouth was so tilted that his smile almost looked very suspicious, but the patriarch did not think too much about it because his focus was entirely on Liu Mengdi.
“Thank you, Your Highness.” The patriarch smiled at Princess Sylvia.
“No problem. Just call me if you need anything else.” said Princess Silvia.
The patriarch was a little overwhelmed by his smile and attitude so he failed to see the unnatural expression on the fourth prince's face.
Princess Sylvia and the fourth prince glanced at Liu Mengdi who was sitting with the group of patriarchs. Their gazes were filled with hidden meaning, but Liu Mengdi was unsure about what was on their minds.
The pair of brothers then left with different expressions on their faces. One smiled cunningly, while the other looked a little worried.
Looking at the figures of those who left, the patriarch smiled. He then looked at Liu Mengdi as he picked up a bottle of wine for himself.
“Liu Mengdi, you can't stay here forever. The store will close before nightfall and that's when your little life is in our hands.” The patriarch chuckled with a cruel expression on his face. His subordinate also looked at Liu Mengdi with open ferocity.
Looking at their expressions, Liu Mengdi only smiled indifferently while shrugging his shoulders. “I think I can remember you saying the same words a few days ago, but what happened? I can still escape unscathed and I can even kill some worthless trash along the way.” He laughed mockingly while staring at the patriarch.
Liu Mengdi's words made the patriarch boil in anger. His blood vessels stood out and he could not wait to strangle Liu Mengdi. However, he held back and closed it to calm his raging nerves.
After calming himself down, the patriarch looked at Liu Mengdi seriously and said coldly. “If I manage to catch you tonight, I hope you can keep that smile on your face!”
Liu Mengdi put on a frightened expression as she said in a sarcastic tone. “Very scary! Haha!”
The patriarch's face twitched, but he still managed to force a cruel smile. He then pulled out the cork in his wine bottle.
He checked the rest of the wine bottle and he found that everything was the same.
‘Is the princess still unable to recognize the difference between the two wines after working here for more than a month or does she just make a mistake?’ The patriarch felt a little suspicious about this, but he put the matter behind his head and simply filled his cup with Deep Sea Spring Dew.
He was already a 7th rank Emperor realm expert, so there was no problem consuming a bottle of Dew Sea Spring Dew. His subordinates were also not weak and they should have been able to handle the wine energy, so he did not worry about it.
The patriarch smiled lightly as he stared at the golden liquid in his cup. The smell was extremely fragrant and he could even feel his true essence pounding fiercely after sniffing it.
“Truly a treasure!” He exclaimed silently before he held the cup to his lips.
Gulp down. Gulp down. Gulp down.
After seeing their boss drinking his wine, the others immediately followed him. They filled their cups with a glittering golden liquid while looking at him with dazzled eyes.
Liu Mengdi frowned when he saw the golden liquid inside their cup. He knew that there was only one wine of such color in the shop, Deep Sea Spring Dew…
‘Didn't they order twelve Ables Blanc? How could.. So.. Princess Sylvia, that cunning girl.’ Liu Mengdi's eyes narrowed as she refrained from laughing. She was sure Princess Sylvia was planning something naughty. The latter was known as a mischievous little boy since he was young and even Liu Mengdi himself was among those who fell from his plot.
Thinking of this, Liu Mengdi looked at Princess Sylvia with the corner of her eyes and she instantly found a sly smile plastered on her beautiful face.
The patriarch closed his eyes happily as he enjoyed the wine in his cup. Even though he had already tasted it, he still could not help feeling fresh how it felt inside his mouth.
Ah~
He groaned with his eyes tightly closed.
Not just him. His subordinates also had similar faces as they drank their wine.
Liu Mengdi's smile widened as she stared at them. The slight worry in his heart was now gone and replaced with excitement.
‘These fools!’ He sneered in his heart.
