“Wine Master Jiu, when are we opening the store?” Burlock asked as he followed Jiu Shen inside the lotus building. Although he was confident about the wines of the store, he was still worried that no one might be willing to try them once they see the exorbitant prices. Even the cheapest wine they sold was sold for 1 Blood Stone! Ordinary demons could not even hope to purchase it and only those with great backgrounds would be able to afford the wines.
“We will open soon…” Jiu Shen said uncaringly. He then communicated with the system internally.
“System, I’d like to open the store and begin operations.”
Ding!
The host has met the requirements to begin store operations! Please name the store!
“Name?” He muttered…
“Let’s go with the same name. ’The Immortal’s Wine Store’.” Jiu Shen said without even thinking.
Ding!
Creating a name plaque for the store!
On the wall beside the door of the lotus building, a few words suddenly appeared. What was most surprising about these words was their exquisite strokes as if drawn by an immortal calligrapher.
Burlock who had seen the sudden emergence of the words was stunned and he stood there dumbfounded as he witnessed the scene. It was too beautiful that even a Demon Lord like Burlock found himself immersed in those words.
“The Immortal’s Wine Store…” Burlock muttered to himself. ’Such arrogant words! The Demon King might command his army to decimate this store if he sees its name!’ He thought to himself in trepidation.
“Wine Master Jiu Shen, what if the demons learn about your identity as human? I don’t care about those low-level demons, but if the Demon Lords and even the Demon Ancestor would discover that a human has opened a wine store in Morlon City, they would certainly send someone to decimate this place.” Burlock said carefully as he glanced at Jiu Shen hoping to see his reaction. However, the young man’s face remained tranquil. As if he was unbothered by Burlock’s words.
“Decimate my store? Let them come here and try for themselves. I won’t stop them.” Jiu Shen said in amusement. Jiu Shen wasn’t worried about the demons coming to cause trouble. In fact, he was even slightly looking forward to their arrival. They would serve as an amusement for his boring and uneventful life…
Burlock wanted to say something, but when he recalled how he had destroyed himself after trying to crush the lotus building, he closed his mouth with a blank look.
’That’s right. What is there to worry about? I could not even damage the walls of this lotus building and perhaps only the Demon King would be able to break its defenses. Now, I’m becoming even more curious about Wine Master Jiu Shen’s identity. What is his purpose in coming to Morlon City? From our previous conversations, he mentioned about the Profound Dragon Continent. He might be one of the top experts there, but are humans really that strong? Should I report his presence to Demon Ancestor Jun?’ Burlock thought deeply as he stared at Jiu Shen’s back. This human was too unfathomable and he could not even understand his thoughts.
’Nevermind. I should observe him for the time being and see how it goes…’ He shook his head with a sigh. He felt that he had entangled himself with a huge problem, but he could no longer escape from this since he had already become a subordinate of Jiu Shen.
After stepping inside the store, Jiu Shen saw the young lady Blue looking at him with an excited look on her face. “Greetings, master!”
“Master has come!”
“Greetings, master!”
Two small figures scampered towards him with bright expressions on their faces. They were the waitresses of the store, Meimei, and Xiaoxiao.
Jiu Shen nodded his head at them and said in a calm voice. “The store is now officially open. Make sure to treat our guests politely and don’t provoke them needlessly.”
Jiu Shen wasn’t worried about Blue making a mistake. On the other hand, Meimei and Xiaoxiao were too mischievous. He was certain that the two ladies would wreak havoc in Morlon City if he was not there to supervise them. Earlier, when he used his spiritual perception to scan the whole Morlon City, he saw Meimei beating up Burlock’s men, while Xiaoxiao was just laughing at the sidelines.
Looking at their cunning smiles, Jiu Shen could only hope that the two won’t go overboard in their little antics.
“Master, Meimei is a good girl. Don’t worry. Hehe.” Meimei flashed a crafty smile as she said those words. Behind her, Xiaoxiao also nodded her head.
Jiu Shen ignored them and turned his gaze to Blue. “You will be responsible in observing the performance of these two. If they cause too much trouble, have someone replace them.” He said coldly.
The faces of Meimei and Xiaoxiao changed drastically when they heard Jiu Shen’s words. They also discarded the evil thoughts they were harboring earlier and they also told themselves to do their job carefully.
Blue sensed the seriousness in Jiu Shen’s tone, so she nodded her head solemnly as she said. “Yes, master. I won’t let them cause trouble.”
“Good. Tell Burlock what he has to do and if he causes trouble, you can do anything you want with him as long as you don’t kill him. If anything important comes up, just go to my room downstairs.” Jiu Shen said before going to the basement. He still has a lot of leftover cultivation resources in his storage earring, so he was planning to use all of it to enhance his cultivation. With his deity physique, he wasn’t worried about accumulating too much pill toxins.
Blue and the two ladies bowed their heads at the leaving Jiu Shen.
“You heard the master. Stop causing trouble or he might really replace the two of you.” Blue said to the two young girls, scaring them immediately.
“Yes, Sister Blue!” They said in unison.
