The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 28 Elder Ming
The next day, inside the Xue Family home.
“What did he say?” An old voice echoed within the room.
“Older Ming, that Jiu fellow did not even glance at me as I mentioned the name of our Xue Family! He clearly looked down on our Xue Family! Basic !” Fatty Xue said with an angry look.
Elder Ming looked calm on the surface, but he was furious inwardly. Even though he knew the cunning nature of Fatty Xue, he would not joke around with things that concerned the reputation of their Xue Family. He glanced calmly at Fatty Xue who made his spine goosebumps.
“To think that there was someone who did not put the Xue Family in his eyes. It seems like our Xue Family has been too quiet for the past few decades. Xue Que, I will arrange the Four Swords and Five Swords to send. The reputation of the Xue Family cannot be tainted by random experts.” Elder Ming declared in a cold voice.
Fatty Xue was surprised at first, but then she was overjoyed. He knew who the Four Swords and Five Swords were. They were the personal servants of Elder Ming with both of their cultivation levels being at the peak of a 6th rank King. They even had the strength to fight an early stage 7th rank Emperor if they attacked together.
Fatty Xue hid the excitement in her heart as she bowed to Elder Ming. He then said in a confident voice. “Don't worry Elder Ming, with the Four Swords and Five Swords around him, that little shop will definitely be overturned.”
Elder Ming nodded in agreement. He also believed what Fatty Xue said. “You tell them what to do, but remember to do everything carefully. Other noble families should not know this, and moreover the Silveria.” Imperial Family
Fatty Xue patted her chest causing all the fat on her body to sway. “Confident Elder Ming, I will settle this today.”
Elder Ming waved his aged hand and gestured for Fatty Xue to leave. “Go. Don't disappoint this old man.”
Fatty Xue lowered her head respectfully before she left the room.
After stepping out of Elder Ming's room, Fatty Xue clenched her fat fists tightly. ‘You fucking Jiu guy! Your fucking shop will be burned to ashes tonight and I'll fuck your woman right in front of you!’ Fatty Xue's beaded eyes shone with an evil glint as she walked away. Every step he took caused all the fat in his body to tremble.

Inside Jiu Shen's shop, it was business as usual, but the owner himself was sitting in his chair lazily with a bottle of wine in his right hand.
With one foot on top of the other, Jiu Shen gulped heavily from his wine bottle and let out a satisfied voice. “Ahh..”.
The fat white cat, Ice curled up on his lap while letting out a huge snot bubble every time he exhaled.
The customer's lips twitched upon seeing the lazy appearance of both.
‘Wine Master Jiu and her pet cat are really similar. At least we have the graceful and kind Young Miss Hestia who gives us a warm smile every day. In addition, if Young Miss Theia glanced at us just once, then we can already go home satisfied.’ They thought about it in their hearts before focusing on the wine at their table.
The latter did not even glance at him and only snorted in disdain.
Upon seeing his reaction, the young man chuckled before walking away from his sight. He was already used to his cold and icy temper, so he was not bothered by it.
He found himself a chair to sit on and when he saw Hestia walking towards them, his eyes involuntarily lit up. “Halo, Young Miss Hestia. How are you today?”
Hestia smiled sweetly and replied in a cheerful voice. “I'm happy today because the master is back.”
Liu Mengdi's smile froze after hearing his reply. He forced a dry laugh and said. “Oh, so Wine Master Jiu is back? Nice!”
Hestia smiled from ear to ear. She looks like a little girl who finally reunites with her boyfriend after days of going out with him.
With a bright smile, he asked. “What do you want to order today, Young Master Liu?”
“As always, five Dew Sea Spring Dew for me and my subordinates.” Liu Mengdi replied with a gentle smile.
“OK, give me a minute, Young Master Liu.” Hestia smiled sweetly before she left. Her feminine scent left in the air caused Liu Mengdi to sigh in regret. ‘Young Hestia girl is a kind woman. Perhaps, only an expert like Wine Master Jiu was qualified to guard his heart.’
Over the past few days, Liu Mengdi visited the store every day just to see Hestia's smile and also to see Theia's cold face. Of course, the main reason was the extremely amazing Dew Sea Spring Dew. After he tasted the wine a few days ago, he became infatuated with it.
Moments later, Hestia came out of the wine storage with five bottles of wine swirling around her.
“This is your order five Dew Sea Spring Dew. Enjoy!” Hestia smiled before she gracefully left their sight.
Liu Mengdi smiled and opened the wine bottle in a trained manner. He then filled his cup with golden liquid. He was still mesmerized at the golden brilliance he emitted even though it was not the first time he had seen it. “This is truly an amazing wine! I wonder how Wine Master Jiu brews this wine?”
With a satisfied expression, Liu Mengdi slowly enjoyed his cup of wine. He only sipped in small quantities to enjoy his wine to the fullest. With her current strength, Young Miss Hestia told him that she was only allowed to drink a cup of wine. Recalling his stern gaze when he described what would happen if he exceeded the cup, he shuddered in fear.
With a motivated expression, he muttered to himself. “I have to cultivate quickly to reach the 5th rank Spirit realm. At that time, I will be able to drink two cups of Deep Sea Spring Dew.”
If his father, the current patriarch of the Liu Family heard his words, he would not be sure whether he would laugh or cry.
Who would motivate themselves like that? Didn't the favored sons of heaven usually say that they would cultivate hard to dominate the entire Profound Dragon Continent? Who would cultivate just to get another cup of wine? Perhaps only Liu Mengdi was such a person…
