The Immortal’s Wine Store Chapter 337

Chapter 337 - Demon Ancestor Jun Arrives In The Store

Burlock came out of the store to greet the Demon Ancestor and his entourage. The moment he went outside, he saw a hunched old man holding a thin wooden cane walking in his direction. Behind him were the four Demon Lords who trailed the old man with respectful gazes. They kept on looking at Burlock with meaningful smiles. As if they were waiting for a good show to watch.

Demon Ancestor Jun was gobsmacked when he noticed the precious spiritual plants carelessly planted outside the store. Each one of these spiritual plants would fetch a high price in the market, but they were treated as mere garden flowers to beautify the surroundings of this lotus building. Even he with his years of savings could not be this extravagant. Now, he was wondering what kind of person the owner of this place was. According to the report of the four Demon Lords, this mysterious owner has yet to show himself in public.

As Demon Ancestor Jun was occupied with a series of thoughts, he suddenly saw the familiar figure of Burlock coming out of the lotus building. He wasn’t wearing his usual battle armor. Instead, he was wearing the clothes of a lowly servant. However, there wasn’t a look of shame on his face. As if working as a waiter in the store was something to be proud of. To this puzzling scene, Demon Ancestor Jun frowned. How could a proud Demon Lord like Burlock be willing to work under someone? The Demon Ancestor felt slightly offended since Burlock was his subordinate. He felt as if something he owned was forcibly taken away from him.

“Greetings, Lord Demon Ancestor Jun! Greetings, fellow Demon Lords! Come in! We have been waiting for your arrival!” Burlock smiled at the guests, but he was inwardly cursing for his bad luck. He knew that the Demon Ancestor did not come here just to enjoy the wines sold in the store. He must have come here with deeper intentions. As for what it was, Burlock already had an inkling about it.

The four Demon Lords returned the greeting by cupping their fists at Burlock. On the other hand, the old Demon Ancestor merely glanced at him with a placid look on his aged face.

“Burlock, I don’t know how the owner of this store convinced you to work for him, but do you think I would allow my subordinates to do as they please without even notifying me?” Demon Ancestor Jun’s voice sounded harmless and soft, but Burlock felt his chest tightening upon hearing it. He could feel the old demon’s fury by the choice of his words.

Burlock put on a pacifying smile at the old man. How could he admit that he was beaten black and blue by a human with a mere lift of a finger? If he said it out loud, he was certain that he would be a butt of jokes to his fellow Demon Lords.

“Lord Demon Ancestor, please forgive me for not telling you about this soon. To tell you the truth, I was injured not too long ago and the owner of this lotus building aided me in my recuperation. I also decided to work as a waiter here because of this debt of gratitude. I hope you understand, Lord Demon Ancestor.” Burlock wasn’t entirely truthful, but it was true that he was injured and it was indeed Jiu Shen who had helped him recover from his injuries. As for the rest of his words, he came up with it in the spur of the moment.

The old demon narrowed his eyes and stared deeply into Burlock’s eyes. He could sense that Burlock wasn’t telling the whole story, but he could also see the sincerity in his gaze. His words might have some truth to it, so he just waved his withered hands in exasperation. “Take me inside the store. I’d like to see for myself what kind of man could make you act this way.”

Hearing the old demon’s words, Burlock glanced at him apologetically. “Lord Demon Ancestor, the owner of this store, Wine Master Jiu Shen has left the lotus building just recently. You can verify this matter with those ladies over there. They also saw Wine Master Jiu Shen when he left the store.” Burlock pointed at the three ladies standing neatly in line not far away from them.

Demon Ancestor Jun furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head regretfully. “What a pity. It looks like we aren’t fated to meet this time. In that case, what can this store offer to this old man?” The old demon glanced at Burlock with an inquisitive look.

Burlock smiled and cupped his fists. “Lord Demon Ancestor, our store specializes in wine. I will grab the menu and show it to you right away, but before that, follow me to your table first.” He then led them to the nearest spot and had the Demon Ancestor and the four Demon Lords to their seats.

“Wait for me here, everyone. I’ll be back in a second.” Burlock smiled at them.

Looking at Burlock’s departing figure, the four Demon Lords could hardly believe that it was the once obstinate and proud Burlock. They were wondering what sort of magic did the owner do to make such a prideful demon work for him. However, they didn’t dare ask especially after they noticed the displeased look of the old Demon Ancestor when he talked with Burlock earlier.

“Lord Demon Ancestor, the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit sold here is great. You will find out that we aren’t exaggerating one bit about its effects.” Zagan said to the old man. The giant demon wore a flattering smile as he looked at the Demon Ancestor.

“I hope it is as you say.” The old man muttered softly.

Not long later, Burlock came back with several copies of the menu in his hand. He then handed it to the Demon Ancestor and the four Demon Lords.

“These are the wines sold in this store. Please tell me your order after you’re done choosing.” Burlock said to the guests.

Not far away from them, Xiaoxiao and Meimei stood watching the scene with interest. Xiaoxiao in particular was looking at Burlock with a wide grin on her face. “This ugly demon is a fast learner. It looks like he listened to my advice.” She said as she crossed her arms proudly. Standing beside her, Meimei chuckled secretly.
