The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 88 The Story of Hu Xiandao
Hu Xiandao unleashed a hint of his aura to scare Theia with his strength. Although the latter was beautiful, she wanted to teach him a lesson to talk to her in such a manner.
There was a faint light on Hu Xiandao's body as his anma slowly gushed out from his body. He gave Theia a thin smile that looked scary to look at.
“Sweetest! The little lady was very pretty, but why should she provoke Master Hu?” One of the barbarian youths said while shaking his head.
The other three barbarians had the same sentiments, but they could only watch the scene with expressions of regret.
They were not even aware of the strange atmosphere enveloping the entire store as the fight between Theia and Hu Xiandao continued. The customers looked excited on their faces as if they were waiting for something to happen.
The barbarians were confused by their reaction, but they could not understand the reason for their behavior. They were also perplexed as no one stood up to prevent Theia from provoking an expert like Hu Xiandao. Wh why?
Stared in such a way by Hu Xiandao, Theia's cold eyes remained calm without the slightest ripple. He looked like a stubborn little bush facing a huge storm with an unwavering will!
“Are you done talking?” He asked in a calm and indifferent voice, but when the customers heard him speak, they could not help but shiver.
“Hahaha! You have little lady's guts. To think that there was someone in Beltran City with such an attitude. I respect your courage, but I don't want to be looked down upon especially by a woman!” Hu Xiandao's smiling face turned ferocious as he spoke in an intimidating voice.
It could be said that this Hu Xiandao was truly a pure-blooded barbarian. The savagery of a person growing from the fierce wild was already rooted in his bones. Just his overwhelming presence alone could even make the ancestors of the noble clans treat him with respect. So how could she submit to a woman just because of her beauty?
Suddenly, a bone-chilling true essence gushed out from Theia's body. It was so dense that even Hu Xiandao had to take a step back!
“Only a woman, yes?” Theia's calm voice was like a whisper of death that echoed beside everyone's ears.
Hu Xiandao's cute expression froze and he couldn't help but put on a serious expression as he hurriedly collected the anma from his body to protect himself.
At that moment, she finally realized that this blonde beauty was actually an expert who was many times stronger than her!
Strange expression ‘customer’ and their uncaring attitude. Now everything made sense. They all knew that this woman was a top expert.’ Hu Xiandao thought inwardly as he looked at Theia carefully.
Just as the two sides were about to clash, an alluring voice echoed within the shop.
Everyone glanced at Lu Sulan with puzzled gazes, but they did not dare to voice their curiosity. They could only silently stare at her graceful figure while waiting for her to speak.
Theia recalled her true essence and looked at Lu Sulan in bewilderment. “Saudari Lu, what does this mean?” She asked in a gentle tone, but she was obviously not happy. He really wanted to punish Hu Xiandao for daring to act brashly before him.
Hu Xiandao glanced at Lu Sulan and his eyes widened like plates. “Mrs Lu Sect? Why are you here? And why wear a waiter uniform?” He asked in a surprised tone.
Lu Sulan walked towards them and stood between the two before he glanced at Theia apologetically. “Please forgive Lord Hu, Sister Theia. He was someone from the Mythos Wildlands and barbarians like him were known for their arrogant attitude. But Lord Hu is someone with a good heart” The first said softly.
Theia furrowed her brows and glanced at Hu Xiandao from head to toe. In his eyes, he did not look good at all.
“Only this alone is not enough to stop me from punishing him.” He said coldly.
Hu Xiandao wanted to speak, but Lu Sulan raised his slender arm to prevent him from speaking. The first one reluctantly closed his mouth and he could only glare at Theia.
“Sister Theia, please. He might not look like a good person, but he saved my life when I was young back then. One of his arms was even cut off just to save me from being preyed upon by a 7th rank Emperor realm savage beast.” Lu Sulan could not help but feel a little emotional as he recalled the scene that had happened many years ago.
He was still a 6th rank King realm cultivator at that time and he was on a mission given by the sect elders of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect.
During his journey, he met the 7th rank Mountain Breaking Snake. And just as he thought that he would be preyed upon by the huge giant, a brave barbarian warrior raised his thick hand to protect his body from the snake bite.
Lu Sulan could still remember the moment the brave barbarian's arm was ripped off by the snake, but the barbarian gritted his teeth amid the agonizing pain and carried Lu Sulan away with his remaining hand.
From then on, their Ice Cloud Sword Sect became the strongest ally in the Mythological Wild Lands…
Lu Sulan glanced at Hu Xiandao's missing arm with teary eyes before he turned to look at Theia with a determined expression.
Theia sighed as she listened to her story, but her overall impression of Hu Xiandao increased many times. He glanced towards the stubborn barbarians and muttered. “I respect you for being a real man.” He then walked back to his place, making everyone sigh in relief.
Lu Sulan smiled at the figure behind Theia and he then turned to look at Hu Xiandao with a faint smile. “Greetings, Lord Hu and welcome to The Immortal’s Wine.”
