A tranquil gust of wind blew by, sending shivers to the onlooking crowd.
He died just like that.
He was still laughing disdainfully just a few seconds ago, but his headless corpse now sprawled on the bloody ground, while his decapitated head still had an expression of arrogance.
No one saw how Theia moved, but they all knew that it was her who had killed Bai Yot.
A silent kill in less than a second…
Looking at Theia’s cold and indifferent expression, they finally realized that this seemingly weak and dainty young lady was someone that shouldn’t be trifled with.
Even the regular customers who already knew Theia’s personality drew gasps of surprise, but they calmed down much faster than the rest since they had already expected this to happen right from the very beginning.
Theia glanced icily at Bai Yot’s corpse and flicked a small orb of golden fire towards him.
The moment the golden flames touched his corpse, it was instantly engulfed by the raging golden flames, burning his body under everyone’s petrified gazes.
Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.
Faint crackling sounds echoed about, sending chills down everyone’s spines.
And in not more than a minute, only a small pile of dust remained, even his blood evaporated from the intense golden flame.
A gentle wind blew past them, scattering the ashes in the air.
Gulp.
Someone could not help but gulp at this terrorizing scene, but no one laughed at him since all of them were feeling the same amount of fear.
Suddenly, someone came out of the store. It was a peerlessly beautiful young lady with long fiery red hair. She had a gentle smile on her face as she walked out of the store with graceful steps.
“Sister Theia, what’s everyone standing here for?” Hestia asked with a curious voice as she looked at the silent crowd standing still like wooden statues.
Theia glanced at Hestia and the former’s cold face suffused with a light smile. “Oh, it’s nothing. I just told them to line up properly.”
The crowd’s lips twitched when they heard her words, but no one dared to voice out their opinions. Who would dare to that? Only those tired of living would be so foolish…
Hestia giggled when she heard her reply, her faint laughter gradually made everyone’s heart calm down to a certain degree.
“Welcome, dear guests. Please come inside to our newly renovated store.” Hestia said with a smile as she curtsied at the crowd.
Her gentle gaze full of expectations instantly lightened the stiff atmosphere.
“Since Young Miss Hestia has already spoken, then I shall go inside now. I’m really excited to see the new look of the store.” Liu Mengdi the young patriarch of the Liu Family was among the onlooking crowd, and he had also seen everything that had transpired. He hurriedly led his subordinates to go inside the store since he could hardly remain standing after witnessing the scene earlier.
The other customers followed behind them and lined up neatly without causing any disturbance. Who would dare cause a ruckus before the daughter of hell?
Not long later, Xiao Hua’s group of four finally arrived at the store. They could not help but gasp in surprise as they looked at the majestic store in front of them.
“Sister Hua, is this wine store of that senior? It looks awesome!” The short-haired young woman Mei Gui exclaimed with shining eyes. Even their Ice Cloud Sword Sect’s ice castle was not as sublime as the store in front of them.
Xiao Hua was similarly stunned to see the awe-inspiring exterior of Jiu Shen’s wine store. She glanced at the plaque and muttered the store’s name. “The Immortal’s Wine… Such a beautiful name! This name is definitely perfect for such an imposing wine store!”
Mei Gui was already excited to go inside the store, so she hurriedly grabbed her three stunned friends.
“Let’s go! I wanna see how awesome the man our Sister Hua always talked about.” Her excited voice echoed on the street as the figure of the four ladies moved inside the store.
The faces of the four immediately lit up when they saw how beautifully decorated the interior was. From the ceiling down to the floor, everything was close to perfection! Even the chairs and tables didn’t look ordinary.
“Woah! What a beautiful place!” Mei Gui’s eyes widened as she kept on turning her head to see every corner of the store. She looked like a young kid who had just visited a theme park.
Xiao Hua and the other two nodded their heads in agreement.
“Why did the sect mistress told us to come to this place?” Fei Lingrou asked with a perplexed look on her face. She was not that tall and was only 160cm in height, but her bosom was the biggest among the four of them. Her perky behind was also enough to make the imaginations of men to run wild. With her soft and supple lips and seductively beautiful pair of brown eyes, she can be considered as a budding young beauty.
Xiao Hua shook her head. “I’ve no idea why the sect mistress told us to come here, but her voice sounded urgent, so it should be something important. Anyway, this place is nice and I don’t think our time will be wasted here.”
Fei Lingrou crossed her arms as she thought deeply, her huge bosom trembled from her movements that it almost broke out of her tight robes.
This scene instantly made Mei Gui laugh wickedly as she walked towards Fei Lingrou with evil intentions in her eyes. The former sneakily stretched out her hands and grabbed Fei Lingrou’s bountiful bust, which made the latter cry out in surprise.
“Ah! Sister Gui, stop!”
Xiao Hua rolled her eyes after seeing the two’s actions. “Hey! Stop it you two! There are a lot of people watching.” Her voice carried a half-hearted scolding tone. She was already used to this pair’s teasing and bantering, but she still let out a soft chuckle after looking at their faces.
When Mei Gui and Fei Lingrou heard her words, they were immediately stunned and they could not help but glance at the customers who were eyeing them with unusual gazes. Some looked at them with heated gazes, while others looked at them with a smile. However no one came to cause trouble for them which they found unbelievable since most men would usually approach them in this kind of situation, but even though some had heated gazes, they remained seated on their chairs.
“Eh? The men here are surprisingly much better than those young scions outside.” Mei Gui muttered in a soft voice.
Xiao Hua and the other two nodded their heads in agreement.
Just then, the four of them suddenly saw a familiar figure coming towards them. Her icy blue hair now had crimson highlights, and her pair of irises were deep red in color. Her cold temperament also changed, and there was now a tinge of tantalizing fieriness in her aura. This was of course Lu Sulan, the sect mistress of their Ice Cloud Sword Sect.
“Master!”
“Master!”
The four bowed their heads in unison as they greeted Lu Sulan respectfully.
Lu Sulan smiled gently after seeing them. These four young ladies were the most talented disciples among the youngest generation of their Ice Cloud Sword Sect.
“It’s good that you’re here. Come, I’ll introduce you to my master.” Lu Sulan said with a sweet smile.
Xiao Hua and the other three were confused but they still nodded their heads promptly.
Lu Sulan led them towards the corner of the store where they saw a man with long silver hair reclining on his chair with a calm and lazy look in his eyes. He was holding a sleeping chubby white cat in his arms as he stroke its fur gently.
Xiao Hua’s eyes lit up when she saw him, and she could feel her heart pounding loudly.
“Master, these are the disciples that I told you about. Although they are still young, their talent is not that bad.” Lu Sulan gave Jiu Shen a respectful bow before she said those words.
Looking at the man that their sect mistress called as ’master’, they couldn’t help but be stunned. He looked so young and they couldn’t even feel a strand of cultivation from him. It was as if he was an ordinary mortal who had not started cultivating, but they didn’t dare reveal their usual attitude especially after seeing how respectful their sect mistress was when she spoke to him.
Jiu Shen glanced at the four young ladies, and his gaze lingered longer on Xiao Hua’s figure. “Not bad. You’ve managed to comprehend the things that I taught you.”
Hearing his compliment, Xiao Hua broke into a splendid smile as if a lotus that had just bloomed.
