The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 318 Meaning of Weapons?
“What do you want from me? With your strength, you can kill me, but instead of doing that, you healed my broken arm and let me rest in your place. What's your intention?” Burlock furrowed his brows as he glanced at Jiu Shen deeply. He tried to read the young man's expression, but all he saw was an indifferent gaze.
What this guy did.
Burlock knew that he had severely damaged his arm's meridians last night, but when he woke up earlier, his arm had miraculously healed! He did not know how the other party did it. Even if he used medicines and pills inside his outer ring of space, he knew that he would need several days to fully recover, but Jiu Shen only needed one night to heal him completely. Or was he unconscious for a few days?
“My shop is short of a few waiters. I think you're a good fit for the job.” Jiu Shen said as he placed one of his legs on top of the other. His relaxed expression made Burlock remember the incident last night.
“You want to hire me as a waiter?! Are you crazy?!” Burlock exclaimed involuntarily, but when he realized his mistake, he hurriedly covered his mouth in fear. He then glanced at Jiu Shen nervously, and when he saw Jiu Shen's unchanging expression, Burlock heaved a sigh of relief.
“What are you selling here? You don't sell forbidden goods, do you?” Burlock asked suspiciously. He might be a Demon King, but he did not have the guts to sell products forbidden by the upper echelons of the Demon Race.
Jiu Shen shook his head and replied. “You think too much. I only sell wine and maybe some dishes. What say?”
“Wine and some dishes?” Burlock thought something was wrong with his ears, but when he saw Jiu Shen's calm gaze, he realized that the man was serious.
‘A great expert like you actually sells wine and dishes? Are you kidding me?’ Burlock's mouth twitched, but he did not directly reject Jiu Shen's offer. This human was able to conquer it with just one finger and with that power, even the Demon Ancestor might not be his opponent. Following such an expert was not a bad idea, but if news of him serving humans would spread, it would definitely ruin his reputation. Moreover, his relatives might even be hostile towards him.
Burlock is in a dilemma. No matter which choice he made, there would be dangers following behind him.
Seeing the difficult demonic expression, Jiu Shen took out a bottle of wine filled with red liquid. This was the unique wine of this branch shop, the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit. After taking out a bottle of wine, Jiu Shen gestured to the demon. “Before you make a decision, feel this.” He said as he poured the wine into the large silver cup. When Jiu Shen noticed that the silver cup was half full, he gave it to Burlock who had a strange expression.
Demons had physical bodies that were much stronger than humans and their ability to consume energy was also much better. It was no problem for them to consume a lot of Jiu Shen wine.
‘Do you really have to be so serious when pouring wine? Anything. Let me taste this wine.’ Burlock thought in his heart as he took the silver cup from Jiu Shen's hand.
He was not a wine drinker and he even hated the taste of wine, but since this expert did not give him any room to refuse, he might as well give it a try. It's just a cup of wine, what's the problem?
Without hesitation, he gulped down the wine at once and closed his eyes. Not too long later, his eyes suddenly opened as he exclaimed in a loud voice. “Lezat!”
Burlock regretted drinking wine at once. He could still recall the various flavors that exploded in his mouth when he drank wine. It shook the soul and he could even feel that his physical body was slowly becoming stronger! A cup of wine can really cause such an effect!
Burlock glanced at Jiu Shen with an excited look as he extended an empty cup to Jiu Shen. Although she did not say anything, Jiu Shen knew what the man was thinking.
“What do you think of my Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit?” Jiu Shen's lips tilted upwards as he stared at the pleading gaze of the demon.
“Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit? That's a good name! This is the most delicious wine I have ever tasted in my life and all wine tastes like trash compared to that! It can even increase my physical strength by a small margin! its strength is only minimal, if this wine is consumed every day, the resulting increase in strength will be huge.” Burlock answered honestly.
Hearing the devil's reply, Jiu Shen leaned back in his chair and said. “You were right, but you forgot one thing.”
“Forgot one thing?” Burlock's confused.
Jiu Shen did not make him wait for long and replied. “Put out your gun and try brandishing it.”
When Burlock heard Jiu Shen's words, he became even more confused, but he still took out a large stick from his outer space ring and waved it casually. However, he suddenly realized that something was different with his movements.
“This... Mean Weapon?! How did this happen?!” Burlock shouted in surprise. He knew that he was still far from reaching Weapon Intent level, so when he sensed it behind the casual movement of his staff, he was completely dumbfounded.
Burlock swung his staff a few more times and this time, he was sure that he really understood Weapon Intent.
“That's Weapon Intent, but how? Could it be..” Burlock raised his head and stared at the wine bottle in Jiu Shen's hands. An absurd thought appeared in his head.
