The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 363: Return
‘Hm? I'm crying?’ Jiu Shen mocked himself. He then used his true essence to vaporize the tear line on his cheek.
With a complicated emotional gaze, Jiu Shen looked at Theia's face. This was the first time he had looked at her all this time. His golden hair ruffled wildly as the wind dashed at his melancholic figure. Her normally cold and aloof eyes were now filled with grief and guilt. Looking at her fragile face, she could not help but give him a gentle look as he approached her.
“Theia... It's been millions of years since I last saw you.. I can't believe even in this life you're still this pretty.” Mumbled while forcing a smile.
Theia shook her head when she heard her words of comfort. “Not... Because I...you're dead..” He wailed uncontrollably.
When Jiu Shen realized that he was still blaming himself, he pulled her into his embrace and whispered softly. “I don't blame you. I know it wasn't your fault. I was too weak back then and that was the reason why I died. Moreover, it was the fault of the old fart Lao Gou..”
Theia could feel Jiu Shen's hatred as she called out that name.
“Sorry-” Before Theia could speak, Jiu Shen sealed her lips with hers. His heart almost stopped beating when he felt his warm breath and skillful tongue. It didn't take long before he finally succumbed to his ‘ surprise’ attacks.
Sensing that his body had become soft in his arms, Jiu Shen hugged him tightly and kissed his lips solemnly as all of his pent-up emotions gushed out. Only after an unknown period of time did the two part.
Theia slowly opened her eyes and when she saw Jiu Shen's extremely handsome face looking at her with a gentle gaze, she couldn't help but turn her eyes shyly. Her face was red as she recalled that passionate long kiss.
Jiu Shen smiled and wiped the remaining tears on her cheeks using her finger. “Stop blaming yourself, okay? My death was never your fault. After all, aren't we alive and well right now?”
“M N.” Theia replied in a small voice while nodding her head. He was glad that he did not blame her for what had happened. He was happy that he had finally reunited with her after millions of years. Thinking of this, an affectionate smile appeared on his face.
When Jiu Shen saw her beautiful smile and was inwardly dumbfounded. Her smile was the most beautiful she had ever seen.
The two continued to feel the warmth of each other, ignoring the fierce north wind blowing. The sky looked more beautiful behind them.
“Let's go back and meet the others.” Jiu Shen said gently while holding Theia's tiny hand.
Theia was already an ancient being, but she was like a rabbit that was shocked when Jiu Shen held her hand. He felt as if he was returning to his youth …

“Everything! There was a teleportation array formation in the shop! From the carving of the array, I think it is connected to the Red Demon Continent where the Sect Master is currently located! We might be able to see it soon!” Hestia's loud shout shocked the entire Heavenly Sword Tower. Division heads, elders, and disciples hurriedly came out of their rooms and asked Hestia the details.
“Elder Hestia, are you sure it is connected to the Red Demon Continent?” A student suddenly asked.
“Then, the Sect Master will probably come here soon ..” Yang Zenke, the Division Head of the Blood Sword Division muttered excitedly. At this moment, he no longer looked like the sickly skinny child he used to be. His tall muscular body was covered by black and red armor. On his back was a blood red sword that emitted a cold light. And upon closer inspection, Yang Zenke was now an early stage 9th rank Saint expert!
“Luckily, I managed to break through yesterday ..” A middle-aged man who looked to be wearing a long white robe heaved a sigh of relief. This man was none other than Elder Qi Hongtian! He was now an expert in the Nascent Divine Realm and he had also become a complete Nascent Alchemy God!
“Who is back? Tell me! Meow!” A sharp and child-like voice suddenly resounded. Everyone turned their heads towards the voice and saw two figures walking hand in hand. One of them was a tall woman with long purple hair. He was holding a little girl with snow-white hair.
Hestia smiled at the little girl and replied patiently. “Es Small, Sect Master will be back soon ..”
Adorable Ice's eyes grew big as she asked. “Bulkah?!”
“Of course!” Hestia nodded her head with certainty.
“Show me! Show me! Show me the arrangement! Meow!” Ice pulled on Hestia's clothes with a pitiful look as she pleaded with him.
“Good. I will take you there.” Hestia patted her head gently and held her hand.
Long Meili who came with Ice asked. “Elder Hestia, I'll go with you two.”
“We want to go too! We want to see the array formation!”
Everyone in the Heavenly Sword Tower excitedly stared at Hestia, waiting for her decision.
Suddenly…
“It looks like everyone has improved as I go.” A familiar calm and indifferent voice echoed at the entrance of the sword tower. Everyone was shocked and shocked when they heard this voice as they were very familiar with it. And when they glanced at the entrance, they saw Jiu Shen hovering like a god. Behind her was Theia, who was timidly holding Jiu Shen's hand.
When they saw Jiu Shen, everyone cheered and they immediately rushed towards him like a pack of hungry wolves…
“Master Jiu Shen Sect!”
“Mastered!”
