The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 78 The One-Hand Barbarian
“Sister, we have really offended our second brother now. With the current state of our Silver Wing Empire, there is a chance that he will get rid of us to prevent future troubles for himself. Even though we are not among those chosen to fight for the throne, after all we are still imperial descendants. And our second brother.. He's not as good as he looks.” Prince Dante frowned as he spoke with a serious look.
Princess Sylvia's mischievous expression turned serious when she heard her fourth brother's words. He then glanced at their second brother who was now drinking with his soldiers with a bright smile on his handsome face.
He was unable to pinpoint exactly how his fourth brother believed that Prince Arslan was capable of killing them, but part of him believed that Prince Dante's words were possible.
“I don't think he has the guts to kill us out in the open. And even if we were on a deserted road, he would still hesitate to take our lives.” Princess Sylvia said as she cupped her chin with her palm.
Prince Dante nodded in agreement, but he still felt that Prince Arslan would not let them off the hook easily. “With Defender Duanmu protecting us secretly, he shouldn't be so stupid as to kill us for some quarrel, but we still have to be careful with his revenge.” Prince Dante said as he looked at their second brother who was laughing cheerfully with his men.
Others may regard the second prince as a kind and caring individual, but Prince Dante thinks otherwise. He did not know why he was so sure about it, but he chose to believe in his instincts.
“Honored Guests, here's Your Frozen Origin. Please enjoy.” Lu Sulan smiled as he placed the bottle of Frozen Origin and the two silver cups on the table of the two imperial brothers.
Prince Dante and Prince Sylvia glanced at the wine bottle that let out a large amount of cold air. They were so shocked that they forgot to thank Lu Sulan.
“Ehem.” Lu Sulan coughed to attract the attention of his brothers who were still dumbfounded.
Prince Dante glanced at Lu Sulan apologizing and said with a smile. “Sorry about that, Young Miss. We've never seen a wine so delightful. Now I want to know why it's so cold. Do you mind telling us why?”
Lu Sulan smiled and shook his head. “Unfortunately, the master did not divulge these ingredients and winemaking process, so I do not know anything about this either. But if you're curious, you might want to ask her yourself. Who knows .. Maybe the master will tell you about it.”
Princess Sylvia's eyes sparkled when she heard that, but when she was about to speak, Prince Dante immediately spoke eloquently. “Then, we will ask Wine Master Jiu Shen at a later date. Thank you for your advice, Young Miss. Also, may I dare to ask your honorable name?”
Lu Sulan's brows lifted in surprise. He did not think that this naive-looking young prince was actually so intelligent as to speak before his sister did.
“My name is Lu Sulan.” He answered while looking at them kindly.
“Lu...Lu Sulan?” Prince Dante's eyes glared when he learned of his identity. He is very familiar with the name ‘Lu Sulan’ since their father, the emperor, talked about him some time ago.
The emperor said that aside from the head of the Alchemy Hall branch and himself, there was still someone in the Silver Wing Empire who possessed the strength of an 8th rank celestial realm. She was the sect mistress of the hermit sect, the Ice Cloud Sword Sect. His name ... is Lu Sulan!
Lu Sulan ignored Prince Dante's shock and told them in a serious voice. “Honored guests, please remember that you should divide the wine in two evenly. Because if you drink more than that amount, your body may experience something terrible.”
“Good.” Lu Sulan replied before he left the two of them.
In a random corner in the shop, Jiu Shen who was holding Ice in her hand glanced in a certain direction with a curious expression on her face. “Oh? Did you also go here to look for the fruit of the Earth Origin Dragon Tree? Interesting..”
Ice who was lying in Jiu Shen's arms looked in the same direction and sneered with disdain. ” Meow. I can break their bones for you if you give me one more bowl of milk.”
Jiu Shen rubbed his head gently and replied in a calm voice. “No need. Theia will be able to handle it by herself.”
“Pelit! Meong.” Ice patted Jiu Shen's hand in annoyance.
Jiu Shen ignored the rebellious fat cat and continued to rub its fur while Ice rolled over and kicked Jiu Shen's hand with its claws.

At the entrance of Beltran City, a group of people riding high-level ferocious beasts came. They wore a set of light armor but it could barely cover their protruding muscles.
Leading them was a one-armed man who climbed the rank 7 Crimson Lightning Tiger Emperor.
The tiger was about six meters tall and over ten meters long. It was a deep red with black stripes all over its large body. His two sword-like fangs were seen coming out of his mouth!
The man sitting on his back had a dark complexion and was somewhat fat physically. He had long wavy red hair and there was also a robe made from ferocious beast fur strapped to his armor.
Although he only had his right arm left, it did not stop the people who were with him from looking at the man respectfully.
The one-armed man looked at the bustling Beltran City with a look of admiration and said. “The Capital of the Silver Wing Empire is truly prosperous. Our Mythological Wild Lands main district cannot even compare to it.”
After he said those words, he led his men to enter the Beltran City under the frightened gazes of the city guards who did not even dare to stop them from entering.
Who can blame them? Those barbarians exuded a powerful and evil aura that made these inexperienced soldiers tremble in fear.
