The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 89 Boss Scar's Plan
“Sekte Madam Lu, who is that woman? Why is such an expert here?” Hu Xiandao asked with a puzzled look. He could not imagine how an expert like Theia ended up working in this shop as someone's minion. Who is the owner of the shop? Wasn't he too much of a jerk to tame such a beautiful expert?
Lu Sulan smiled and gestured for Hu Xiandao to sit down. “Master Hu, the young lady over there is Sister Theia and she is an expert who is even stronger than me. He now serves as my master's subordinate and also the shopkeeper of this.”
Hu Xiandao's brows fused tightly as he listened to Lu Sulan's words and he was shocked to learn that he had accepted someone as his master.
After which, he glanced at the chair in front of him uneasily, but he still sat on it after seeing Lu Sulan's gentle smile.
After carefully sitting on the chair, he could not help but feel surprised that it was actually able to withstand his weight. After all, he was a tall and fat man, so his weight was at least three times heavier than the average man. ‘This small object must be made from a sturdy tree ..’ He thinks inwardly while gesturing for his men to sit beside him.
If he only knew that he was actually sitting on a chair made from the God-level Sacred Safarwood Tree, what would his reaction be? Maybe he might even shamelessly sit on it forever …
“Tuan Hu, if you want to order something, you can choose which one to buy from the board there.” Lu Sulan pointed at the inconspicuous-looking whiteboard in one corner of the store.
Hu Xiandao and his men followed the direction he pointed at and when their gazes locked onto the price list, they could not help but widen their eyes in disbelief.
Although their Mythos Wildlands were also a powerful force within the Profound Dragon Continent, but their wealth was not too much. Since almost all of their people were mostly body enhancers, they rarely used true crystals to cultivate because the tonic they used to increase their cultivation speed was the blood of ferocious beasts.
True crystals might be able to assist them in strengthening their bodies, but the increase in strength was much lower compared to using the blood of a savage beast. Furthermore, true crystals were a rare resource that could only be found in the True Crystal Mine. On the other hand, they could hunt ferocious beasts whenever they wanted and extract their blood to use as a tonic.
“Did I see something wrong? Brothers, can you confirm the price for me? I think I may have read Silver Coins as True Crystals.” Hu Xiandao said as he looked at his men with a dumbfounded look.
The other four barbarians acted as if they did not hear his words and continued to stare at the blackboard with unblinking eyes.
Lu Sulan smiled after seeing how they acted. They were also not to blame for their master's wine being too precious that ordinary people could not afford it. Only the rich and powerful could buy and taste Wine Master Jiu's wine.
“Master Hu, if you don't bring enough True Crystals, then allow me to treat you guys. You can choose whatever you like and I'll pay for it for you.” Lu Sulan said generously.
Hu Xiandao glanced at Lu Sulan with a timid smile and would wisely reject his offer when one of the barbarian youths behind him spoke excitedly. “Sekte Madam Lu, we thank you on behalf of Mr Hu! Hehe.”
“Come on, Mr Hu! Sect Mistress Lu means well, so why don't you just accept her offer?” Another barbarian youth nudged Hu Xiandao with a mischievous smile on his face.
To be honest, they had already been beaten so many times by Hu Xiandao that they were no longer afraid of obtaining his aggro. Furthermore, how could they miss such a rare opportunity to make fun of him?
Hu Xiandao's expression turned one hundred and eighty degrees when he glanced at Lu Sulan. He then put on a forced smile and said. “If that is the case, then we will humbly accept the grace of Madam Sect Lu.”
Lu Sulan smiled and waited for them to choose their wine. There were not many customers after all, so he could still wait for them patiently.
Hestia was still in recovery, so Lu Sulan was the only servant today.
Customers are a little disappointed with the results of things. They really wanted to see some action today, but who knew that those barbarians were actually the acquaintances of Young Miss Lu. Moreover, they were also impressed by Hu Xiandao's bravery when listening to Lu Sulan's story.
“Think that those scary-looking people are actually friendly. You can't judge a book by its cover. Huh! I'm ashamed to judge that person wrong.” Boss Scar shook his head and sighed.
His mercenary brothers nodded in agreement as they looked at Hu Xiandao and the other barbarians with respectful gazes.
“Bos, I can feel that something bad is going to happen to our Silver Wing Empire in the coming days. I don't want to say it, but we are too weak to get involved in this mess. And even if we join, then we might just serve as cannon fodder.” Liu Xiufeng spoke in self-mockery.He was someone from the Liu Family and he still had some connections with them, so he was quite knowledgeable about the current state of affairs in their kingdom.
Boss Scar wanted to reprimand him when he heard those words, but he was unable to find any fault in what Liu Xiufeng said.
“Huh! Brother Liu is right, so I suggest we brothers accept that mission and train ourselves along the way.” Boss Scar said after thinking for a moment.
Liu Xiufeng and the others glanced at Boss Scar in surprise.
“Boss Scar, you mean the cave exploration mission just posted?” Liu Xiufeng asked excitedly.
Boss Scar smiled and nodded his head. “Yes. This may be dangerous, but I know that our brothers will be able to get out of that cave safely because we have improved greatly after drinking Wine Master Jiu.” wine
Liu Xiufeng and the other mercenaries nodded with shining eyes.
