The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 362 Regret
After inspecting the battle arena, Jiu Shen went to the ground floor where the teleportation array formation was transcribed. When he arrived there, he saw that the circular formation was already completely transcribed by the system.
“It is time to return to the Profound Dragon Continent. I wonder what happened to those people during my time away.” Jiu Shen muttered to himself while activating the array formation.
The pattern transcribed on the floor suddenly lit up with a golden light. Seeing this, Jiu Shen unhesitatingly stepped on the array formation. His body was then enveloped by a bright light before disappearing from where he stood.
In the Eternal Wine Shop, the array formation on the second floor lit up and a figure suddenly appeared on it.
Jiu Shen looked around and realized that she was on the second floor of the shop.
“M-Master?” He heard a trembling sound at the side and he could only glance to the side. There he saw Theia looking at him with an indescribable expression on her face.
Doubt, guilt, regret, loneliness.Jiu Shen was confused by the look in his eyes.
“I'm back..” That's all he can say when Jiu Shen saw Theia's expression. He did not know why but he could feel a sense of familiarity when his eyes met his eyes. It was as if he had known her for a very long time.
Theia slowly walked towards him and raised her hand, but she then pulled it back after a moment of hesitation. Seeing her acting like this, Jiu Shen patted her head gently as she asked. “Where are the others?”
Theia closed her eyes as she felt the warmth of Jiu Shen's palm. This familiar sensation.He was even more convinced that this man was probably the same person who had taught his sword techniques in his previous life. However, he was not sure if he should tell her about it. After all, he was the reason for his death.
Theia felt her eyes water as she thought about what had happened back then. He hurriedly wiped away the tears that formed in the corner of his eyes as he replied to Jiu Shen. “I-They are in the sword tower. Hestia immediately went there to let everyone know when she saw this teleportation array formation.”.
Jiu Shen frowned and used his spiritual perception on Theia. He felt an emotional turmoil in his heart, leaving him confused. ‘Why is he acting like this? Does he always have this side in him?’
Theia pushed Jiu Shen gently and took a step back as she looked at him. “Master, I will go to the sword tower and tell them about your arrival immediately ..” He lowered his head and quickly left. He did not even give Jiu Shen a chance to speak…
Freaky…
As a supreme being who had lived for innumerable years, Jiu Shen had long known about Theia's feelings towards him, but this time, it was, even Jiu Shen was unable to understand what he was thinking. However, she knew that she was hiding something from him .. ‘What could happen ..’
Theia glanced at the shop with a guilty look. “Jiu Shen .. Because of me, you were imprisoned for millions of years in the God Sealing Tower .. Because of me, you died when you could become the fourth Heavenly Emperor ..”
The days passed in an instant and they became closer after interacting for a long time. However, news of their closeness soon reached her husband, the Celestial Emperor Lao Gou, who was known as the strongest man ever!
Despite being his wife, Theia never loved this man. She was only forced to marry him because Heavenly Emperor Lao Gou threatened to destroy her family if she refused her marriage. Having no choice, Theia complied with the request of the Celestial Emperor Lao Gou and married him. From then on, his heart became ice-cold. But then, everything changed when he met a man who was as skilled as him in sword arts. However, due to their unusual closeness, the man gets involved and is forced to suffer the wrath of Heavenly Emperor Lao Gou.
Tens of thousands of immortal beings intercepted Jiu Shen, but he was still able to escape their pursuit with serious injuries. It was only until Heavenly Emperor Lao Gou himself moved in that Jiu Shen was finally captured. He even had to use his Heavenly ranked item, the God Sealing Tower!
Jiu Shen was imprisoned in this tower for millions of years. His body and soul were being tortured every day until his immortal body could no longer accept the damage and perish.
Theia felt remorse at the thought of her suffering and because of her guilt, she committed suicide when she heard the news of her death.
***
Inside the shop, Jiu Shen used his spiritual perception to scan the entire Beltran City to find Theia. His heart was racing and he knew something was wrong.
“That's it...” His mutter when he saw Theia figure flying out of Beltran City. Jiu Shen then used the power of outer space to teleport in front of him.
Holy hooch!
Jiu Shen looked at Theia with a puzzled look. He could see her teary face and her eyes that were emitting great regret.
Suddenly, a familiar figure overlapped between Theia's figures.
“You... That's you..” Jiu Shen's timeless calm expression changed the moment he realized something. His golden eyes wavered as a line of tears slowly flowed down his cheeks.
The memories he had put in his mind went back continuously.
Seeing Jiu Shen, Theia cried even harder. “Sorry! Because I... A-I..”.
She almost choked on her tears as she looked at Jiu Shen's confused gaze. ‘Will he forgive me’
