The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 73 Second Prince
Lu Sulan and the other two women let out satisfied voices as they gulped down wine from their silver cups.
“Ah~ this wine... It will be good during summer.” Lu Sulan said as he looked at the empty silver cup in his hand.
Hestia and Theia nodded in agreement. They then glanced at Jiu Shen with hot gazes.
At that moment, another line of words appeared on the small blackboard.
Origin Frozen – 55 True Crystals
Jiu Shen ignored the gazes of the three women and slowly walked towards the entrance of the shop. He then opened the door and met with a brilliant illumination of the sun.
It was still mid-spring, but the sunlight started to get warmer.
After which, Jiu Shen glanced at Lu Sulan and the other two with a calm look and said. “Business is about to start, so make sure you're all set. Also, new wine is ready to be served.”
Jiu Shen went to the wine cellar after he said those words. He still had to transfer Frozen Origin in the display bottle…

A luxurious-looking carriage was being pulled by two 5th rank Fire Spirit realm Leopards. The two ferocious beasts had scales like red armor that covered their huge bodies. Transparent red flames were also emitted by them as they pulled the carriage forward.
Surrounding the luxurious carriage was a team of soldiers wearing gold and silver armor with the Silveria Imperial Family badge engraved on their robes. All the warriors rode on the 3rd rank Crusader realm spirit beast, the Brute War Horse.
“It... The person inside is definitely one of the three oldest princes, right?” The crowd whispered as they saw a majestic line of soldiers protecting the carriage.
People were very familiar with the emblem of the Silveria Imperial Family, but they also knew that only the emperor's three eldest sons had the authority and power to have such a powerful army team escort them.
A soldier leading the team frowned when he saw people standing foolishly even before them. He glared at the people and shouted in a ferocious voice. “Aboutment! How dare you lowly commoners not kneel before His Highness the Second Prince! Kneel!”
Residents immediately prostrated themselves on the ground after hearing the angry soldier's order. They did not even dare to raise their heads for fear of being punished.
Cold sweat dripped down their backs as they shivered in fear as they silently listened to the footsteps of the ferocious beasts as they continued walking forward.
“Stop.” A soft voice echoed from inside the carriage shocking everyone on the scene.
The leading soldier heard the command and immediately gestured for his men to stop their mounts.
He then went to open the carriage, revealing the second prince's handsome and gentle face.
The latter stepped out of the carriage with a warm and friendly smile on his face. The second prince then looked at the commander who was leading his guard and patted his back firmly, making the officer's heart skip a beat.
Then, the second prince turned his gaze to the shivering people who were still prostrating on the ground out of fear. And with a heartwarming voice like morning air, he said. “Everything, don't be afraid. I will apologize on behalf of the stubbornness of my men.”
The people who heard the second prince's consoling voice were confused. Why would someone from the imperial family apologize to the commoners?
Despite this, they all remained silent and remained prostrate on the ground.
The commander heaved a sigh of relief and glared at the people prostrating for the last time before he gestured for his men to continue moving forward.
After the second prince and his men left the scene, the citizens slowly stood up from the ground.
“The rumor is true! The second prince was really a good person. He even apologized to us on behalf of his men.”
“Yes, but among His Majesty's three eldest sons, he has the weakest military strength. Too bad! If only he had more authority, our Silver Wing Kingdom might be able to prosper for centuries to come.”
“I agree with you. But the ones with the highest chances of succeeding the throne were the crown prince and the third prince. Their military strength and connections were far ahead compared to the second prince. Sigh.”

In front of Jiu Shen's shop stood a team of majestic soldiers escorting the second prince.
With his head slightly sticking out of the window of his carriage, the second prince glanced at the simple shop in front of them.
“Eternal Egg... A bold and impressive name! The owner has to be confident with his wine to name his shop like this. Haha!” The second prince chuckled to himself as he stepped out of his carriage.
As he approached the shop, he paused for a moment with his eyes flickering in surprise.
‘Interesting...’ thought as he continued walking inside the store…
As the second prince stomped on the entrance of the store, he felt the space tremble for a moment, making him smile.
He glanced curiously at the interior of the shop while looking for the reason of his visit, the Earth Origin Dragon Tree …
And as expected, he saw four identical spiritual plants lying inconspicuously in the various corners of the shop.
“Really...” Mumbled with a little surprise.
“Please do not block the store entrance if you do not want me to expel you.” A melodic but cold voice echoed beside the second prince's ears which made him extremely astonished.
Slowly, he glanced beside her and saw a peerless beautiful young lady with golden hair. He wore knight light armor and a short sword strapped behind his back. His snow-white arms and legs opened making him look seductive and valiant.
But the second prince's attention was not on his assets, but on the extremely powerful aura he felt from him.
He then gripped the pendant on his chest while staring at Theia with widened eyes.
The second prince's breathing became erratic, but he quickly took a deep breath to calm his trembling nerves. While putting on a gentle smile he said. “I'm sorry, young lady. We were just astonished by the incredible ability of this store. We will find the table by ourselves, please excuse.”
After which, the second prince smiled at Theia and led his men to an empty table.
Theia furrowed her brows as she looked at the figure of the second prince. “That jade pendant... Why does he have it?”
