The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 290 Reunion
“Kakak Theia, do you think that smelly human will be able to defeat that Origin God Realm lion? I have seen the old man's strength with my own eyes and no one in our Tiger Clan is capable of fighting him. Those stinking humans even dared to go alone in their headquarters! Really tired of living.” Ice asked the woman beside him. Even though Jiu Shen was extremely strong and was someone with great abilities, he was still worried about Jiu Shen this time around. After all, he had witnessed what had happened to his Tiger Clan at the hands of the Lion Clan.
Theia looked at the little girl with her calm eyes and replied in a resolute tone. “No one in this world can defeat my master!”
Ice was speechless over her answer, but the absolute confidence Theia showed when she said those words was genuine.
After no less than two hours, a rift in space suddenly appeared in front of the two women. Their eyes sparkled when they saw him and the two of them calmly waited for Jiu Shen to come out of the crack.
Jiu Shen looked at Ice and Theia observed him from head to toe. The two of them heaved a sigh of relief when they did not see any obvious injuries on his body, but even before they could speak, eight people suddenly came out from the crack.
These eight people exuded a dense aura of ferocious beasts and it was clear that they were ferocious beasts in the Nascent God Realm because only ferocious beasts at that level could transform into humans.
Theia was calmly staring at this small group of people. He had already guessed that it was not difficult for Jiu Shen to defeat the Lion Clan, either, but he still felt a little surprised by the fact that he only took less than two hours to save these people…
Ice looked at the eight people standing behind Jiu Shen respectfully. He looked at the two familiar figures between them and he immediately ran straight towards the two as warm tears streamed down his cheeks.
“Father mother!” He shouted as he hugged the two people tightly.
“You have grown up with many of my precious daughters. Look at your cheeks, they're so full now and now. Hahaha.” Ice's father said as he gently stroked his daughter's face. The smile on his face was wide when he saw his daughter.
“My little girl, glad you're okay.” His mother said with a gentle smile.
The three-person family chatted after their reunion. Jiu Shen also gestured for the others to make room for Ice and her parents.
“Dear senior, we cannot thank you enough for saving us. We no longer have our possessions to pay for this savior's grace, so we can only offer the rest of our lives to serve you.” The six tigers bowed earnestly at Jiu Shen. They are arrogant creatures and they will never submit easily to someone. Even the old lion of the Lion Clan failed to make them submit to him, but these tigers knew that Jiu Shen was different. They were also confident about his strength and it was definitely a good idea for them to serve him, not only to return the favor, but also because of the opportunity they saw in Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen took out a chair from her space earrings and just sat down on it. He then leaned against the chair before he turned his gaze to the six tigers in front of him. With six of them including Ice's parents, his Heavenly Sword Tower would have eight guardian beasts in the Nascent God Realm! Even the Alliance did not have many experts at that level!
“Because you have already decided that, I have nothing else to say. Don'worry. You will not be miserable under my command.” Jiu Shen said in a calm voice.
The six tigers were not surprised by Jiu Shen's confirmation, but they still felt a little excited at the thought of following this powerful senior.
“Honored Senior, thank you so much for receiving us!” The tiger said emotionally as they bowed to Jiu Shen.
“No need to thank me. And just call me Sect Master when we return to the Profound Dragon Continent.” Jiu Shen said indifferently.
The tiger nodded his head as a receipt.
“My precious daughter, how did you get to meet that esteemed senior? From his aura, I believe he is a human, but are the humans from the Profound Dragon Continent really that strong?” Ice Baili Feng's father asked as he looked at his daughter curiously. He had been to the Profound Dragon Continent several times in his life, but during his visit, he was sure that no human was as strong as Jiu Shen.
Ice's mother, Baili Fei, was also curious. They had seen how strong Jiu Shen was and she was also interested in knowing how her daughter met this mysterious human.
Ice put on a haughty look as she told them her story. “Jiu Shen, that stinking human was one of the strongest experts of the Profound Dragon Continent. When I first met him, I thought he was just an ordinary wine salesman, but he could actually see my identity with a single glance. Back then, I knew that he was not just a wine salesman. He also healed my wounds and allowed me to stay in his shop to heal my wounds. During my stay at his shop, I found that the wine he was selling was not to my liking. They were actually able to increase one's true essence!”
“What?! You mean he can make wine with an effect similar to spiritual fruit?” Baili Feng exclaimed in shock. Baili Fei was also surprised to hear that and she could not help but be surprised.
The three-person family chatted for such a long time that they did not realize that several hours had passed. However, no one bothered them because they had been separated for a long time.
Theia walked behind Jiu Shen and placed her hand on his shoulder as she said. “Master, let me massage your shoulders.”
Jiu Shen did not reject the offer and let Theia do as she pleased. He also closed his eyes as he sorted out his thoughts.
‘I already have the Fragrant Luminous Clan and the Blue Fire Lotus. With the addition of the Grim Hallucination Flower, I only needed a few more ingredients for my wine recipe. I have to stay in the Heavenly Beast Continent for a bit more time and collect more materials here.’ Jiu Shen thought to himself. He had already almost obtained the appropriate amount of ingredients for his wine recipe. At that time, he could complete the mission given by the system.
***
In the Profound Dragon Continent, inside the Heavenly Sword Tower.
Long Meili silently observed Sylphie from afar.
The banquet hosted by the fourth prince was still not over. More and more guests arrived at the imperial palace and some people from the older generation even went to congratulate the new disciples of the Heavenly Sword Tower.
“Why did the girl even come to this kind of meeting when she did not even plan to interact with people?” Long Meili muttered to herself as she saw Sylphie standing on the porch alone.
Sylphie glanced at the excited atmosphere within the banquet hall and shook her head. “I have attended this kind of meeting when I was young, but I don't enjoy it anymore. It just makes me remember about my family ..”
“Maybe I have to return to the Heavenly Sword Tower.” He muttered to himself as he walked into the banquet hall. He didn't want to leave without telling the host. It was impolite to do that, so he looked for the fourth prince.
Sylphie saw the fourth prince talking to some older people who seemed to be a big figure of their gestures and mannerisms.
“Your Majesty, congratulations on becoming a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Tower!”
“Your Highness, my son has also passed three assessments. I hope you can take care of him.”
Facing this group of elders, Prince Dante smiled as he chatted with them. He did not look awkward at all when talking to these important people. As a prince of the Silver Wing Kingdom, he had interacted with many important people.
Just then, he suddenly saw Sylphie walking towards him. From how he looked at her, he guessed that she had something to say to him, so he asked himself of the elders and walked towards Sylphie.
“Halo, fellow disciple! Can I help you?” Prince Dante asked in a friendly manner. This girl left a great impression on him due to her pitiful appearance during the appraisal. He did not underestimate her because it, on the contrary, made the fourth prince admire her for successfully passing three judgments regardless of her circumstances.
Sylphie was a little embarrassed to tell the fourth prince that she wanted to leave the banquet that had just begun not too long ago.
“I'm suddenly feeling unwell, and I hope you don't mind if I go back to the Heavenly Sword Tower to rest.” He said while looking at her.
The fourth prince was a little surprised to hear it, but he still nodded his head at her. “Oh, no problem at all! Be careful on the way back to the sword tower.”
Sylphie nodded in understanding. “Thank you. I'll go now.”
After that, he turned around without looking back. The fourth prince stared at his figure and he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding as Sylphie walked out of the banquet hall. “I think something bad will happen to him. Now I have to let anything happen to my fellow disciples!” He muttered loudly as he called some people to come with him.
