Chapter 141 - Wine Master Jiu Wants The Little Dragoness To Work For Him?

Emperor Elyk frowned and rubbed his temples as he thought deeply. ’If the words of Lord Ren is true, then my Silver Wing Empire might really experience a catastrophic civil war, but if the Xue Family is really that strong, then why are they still not taking action until now? Could it be... Could they have known about my secret? Impossible! Only I know about it... But, it appears that the Xue Family discovered something. Do I really have to awaken him now? Sigh...’

Jiu Shen glanced at Ren Shuang and said. "Shuang, get us six bottles of Deep Sea Spring Dew here."

Ren Shuang nodded his head and left.

Emperor Elyk turned to look at Jiu Shen as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just shook his head and sighed.

Jiu Shen remained silent and just observed him. He knew that Emperor Elyk was now helpless at the current situation that his Silver Wing Empire was facing.

The four guardians also remained silent since they knew that they couldn’t do anything in this situation. The atmosphere became awkward, but luckily, Ren Shuang arrived with six bottles of Deep Sea Spring Dew floating around him.

"Master, here are the wines." Ren Shuang bowed at Jiu Shen and placed the six bottles of Deep Sea Spring Dew on the table.

"You can leave now, Shuang. If you want to take a rest, you can go back to your room." Jiu Shen said in a calm voice.

Ren Shuang shook his head lightly. "There is no need, master. I’ve already taken an ample amount of rest, so I should just stand guard as per usual."

Jiu Shen waved his right hand and nodded his head. "Hm, okay."

After Ren Shuang left, Jiu Shen opened one bottle of Deep Sea Spring Dew and took out six silver cups from his space earring. He then quietly filled each cup with the wine.

Looking at the golden liquid inside the silver cups, Emperor Elyk’s eyes turned a shade brighter.

Jiu Shen was amused when he saw the expression on his face, but he just silently passed the silver cups to the five of them.

"As of the moment, this is the most expensive wine in my store. You guys have drunk it many times already, what do you think about it?" Jiu Shen changed the topic to ease the atmosphere. He then held his cup of wine and looked at the golden liquid within as it emitted a dense fragrant aroma that could make anyone enchanted and enthralled.

Emperor Elyk knew that Jiu Shen wanted to lighten the atmosphere around them, so he let out a smile as he answered. "To be honest, after drinking Wine Master Jiu’s Deep Sea Spring Dew, I felt that my treasured Phoenix’s Godly Flames Wine tastes bland. Sigh! Too bad I only discovered it when I’m already this old..." His melancholic voice had a tinge of regret.

Emperor Elyk closed his eyes as he gently placed the cup close to his lips. He could already smell its pleasantly enticing oceanic scent which made his body quiver in delight. And with an entranced look, he emptied his cup of wine.

"Sigh... Even after drinking it a couple of times, I still get dazzled by its unique taste and smell. Wine Master Jiu, I’ll bring a bottle of this today." Emperor Elyk smiled at Jiu Shen as he said that.

Jiu Shen nodded his head calmly as he filled everyone’s cup again. "Sure. Since you have the VIP Card, it’s not a problem." He replied.

Emperor Elyk smiled and he just quietly enjoyed the wine since he might not be able to drink it peacefully like this again.

Jiu Shen the four guardians similarly remained silent.

"Master, the one-hour time limit has just passed. These four can go, while he can stay since he has the VIP Card. " Ren Shuang suddenly came and pointed towards the four guardians and the emperor with a deadpan look. Now, aside from Jiu Shen, there is another expressionless block of wood in the store...

Defender Duanmu and the other three guardians sighed in pity, but they did not dare linger for long since they didn’t want to displease Ren Shuang and Jiu Shen. "Thanks for the wine, Wine Master Jiu. Your Majesty, we will wait for you downstairs." They then bowed before they left.

Jiu Shen was silent for a moment before he spoke. "Elyk, you have good subordinates."

Emperor Elyk smiled widely at his praise.

"Oh, by the way, my people will be busy in the coming days, so we might be understaffed. I’d like to invite the fifth princess to work for me, what do you think?" Jiu Shen said with a smile. Actually, Jiu Shen also thought of inviting the fourth prince to work for him, but after careful consideration, he thought that it wouldn’t be ideal for the emperor since he felt that Emperor Elyk was secretly grooming the fourth prince to join the fight for the throne.

The emperor was stunned at this, but he suddenly laughed heartily. "Hahaha! Wine Master Jiu, if you like that little brat of mine to work for you, then it’s not a problem at all. However, that little kid is quite hard to control and is untamable, and even everyone in the imperial palace could hardly restrain her. I don’t know if that little brat will agree to this, but I’ll tell her about it after I return to the imperial palace."

Emperor Elyk was excited at the thought that Jiu Shen wanted to invite his daughter to work for him. Although she had to work as a waitress in his store, the emperor didn’t think that it was something shameful since he knew Jiu Shen’s strength. He truly wanted to immediately go back to the imperial palace and bring that little dragoness here. Who knows, maybe Jiu Shen would even decide to impart his teachings to her. That would really be good for her and the Silveria Imperial Family and even to their Silver Wing Empire!

Jiu Shen’s lips twitched when he heard his reply, and he then recalled the shy and adorable look of the young fifth princess and compared it with the emperor’s description, but then he suddenly remembered the scene when the little girl scammed the second prince of his True Crystals. Jiu Shen couldn’t help but nod his head in agreement at the emperor’s words.

"Don’t worry about her, Elyk. She wouldn’t act like a tyrant here under Theia’s watchful eyes." Jiu Shen said in amusement.

Emperor Elyk laughed when he heard those words. He had seen Theia a couple of times in the store, and he knew that the latter was an expert at the 9th-rank Saint. Thinking about the rumors about Theia, Emperor Elyk’s smile abruptly froze.

"It seems like my worries are unnecessary. With Young Miss Theia around, that little brat will surely behave herself..." Emperor Elyk forced out a smile.

Jiu Shen remained silent when he heard that and he just quietly drank his cup of wine.

"Wine Master Jiu, I know you just want to stay peacefully here in Beltran City, but I hope that you can protect Dante and Sylvia for me if ever a war breaks out." Emperor Elyk’s tone had a trace of pleading in it, but he still maintained his dignified expression.

Jiu Shen was surprised at this. He thought that the emperor would ask for his help, but it looks like he had misunderstood the latter. Jiu Shen glanced at the emperor and nodded his head calmly. "You have my word, Elyk. I will protect those two when the time comes."

Emperor Elyk heaved a sigh of relief after getting Jiu Shen’s promise. He was truly unsure if Jiu Shen would aid them if a battle occurs in the future, so he could only ask for Jiu Shen to protect the fourth prince and the fifth princess, the two children that he doted the most.

"With Wine Master Jiu’s promise, I can now stay at ease. Later, I will tell those two to come here and work for you. I hope you don’t mind taking my son Dante as well, Wine Master Jiu." Emperor Elyk smiled in embarrassment.

Jiu Shen was pleasantly surprised when he heard that the emperor would also tell the fourth prince to come to his store, so he immediately nodded his head. "It’s not a problem at all, Elyk."

Emperor Elyk was overjoyed and he could not help but smile widely after getting Jiu Shen’s approval. "Hahaha! Great!"
