Chapter 176 - I Messed Up

After hunting more than ten aquatic savage beasts, Jiu Shen sorted everything inside his space earring before he teleported to the mountain where he left Long Meili.

Swoosh.

In front of him was a young lady with long purple hair, and she was dressed in a beautiful and embroidered white robes which accentuated perfectly with her beauty. There was also a dagger-like horn on top of her forehead, but it didn’t decrease her charm.

Looking at the meditating Long Meili, Jiu Shen smiled as he took out a chair from his space earring. He then sat down and looked at her with unblinking eyes.

"This little lizard’s true essence is becoming more vigorous and robust like a true dragon descendant. The Supreme Dragon Heavenly Canon wasn’t wasted on her. Just that, how would the Long Clan react if they discovered that I passed down their most treasured cultivation technique to someone with an impure dragon bloodline? I guess their supreme elder would beat me up." Jiu Shen chuckled as he recalled the face of an old man with a long gray beard and two horns. A moment later, he shook his head and let out a soft sigh.

Jiu Shen silently watched Long Meili as she meditated. She had just broken through the Nascent God Realm, so her foundation was a bit unstable, but with the Supreme Dragon Heavenly Canon, it wouldn’t take much time for her to consolidate her strength.

An hour later, Long Meili slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a man with long silver hair seated nonchalantly on a wooden chair. He had a smile on his face as they stared at each other.

"Master." Long Meili hurriedly stood up and bowed at Jiu Shen with a respectful look. After she received the Supreme Dragon Heavenly Canon from Jiu Shen, her cultivation speed increased by many times, and even her physical body was strengthened by leaps and bounds. Before, she had a bit of doubt that it was the best cultivation technique for the dragons, but now, all those doubts vanished.

Jiu Shen smiled as he rose from his seat.

"Congratulations, Little Lizard." He said as he stroke her hair gently.

Long Meili remained silent and she could only foolishly stare at this man. Their first encounter was quite dreadful since she almost died by his hands, but she didn’t regret coming to invade Beltran City because that decision allowed her to meet him. He was the main reason why she was able to complete her breakthrough.

No words could describe her current emotions and she could not thank him enough, so she just silently vowed to serve him unconditionally.

"Let’s go to my store. From now on, you’ll follow me wherever I go." Jiu Shen said as he patted her shoulder.

"Mn." Long Meili nodded her head with a sweet smile.

After that, Jiu Shen took her hands as he told the system to lead them out of the Spirit World.

Om!

* * *

Om!

A two-meter tall door suddenly appeared in Jiu Shen’s room, and two individuals stepped out of this door hand in hand.

"Master, is this your store?" Long Meili glanced around the room with a confused look. Although she had no idea what a store was, this wasn’t the place that she had expected to see.

Jiu Shen’s room didn’t look luxurious or extravagant. Aside from the huge bed and clean surroundings, nothing else was noteworthy.

Jiu Shen ruffled her hair as he replied. "This is my room. As for the store, it’s downstairs. Let’s go. I’ll show you around." He then pulled her out of his room.

The person guarding the second floor was now Ren Shuang since he had already completed his investigations on Liuli, the proprietress of the Green Wood Pavilion. And according to what he had discovered, Liuli’s background wasn’t as simple as simply being a proprietress. In fact, she was intricately connected to the Alliance since her father was one of the Alliance Leaders!

Jiu Shen wasn’t surprised when he heard this news, and in fact, he had already guessed it. Just that, they still had no clue as to why she had established an inn within the Silver Wing Empire.

After sensing the arrival of Jiu Shen, Ren Shuang immediately bowed his head as he greeted with reverence. "Master."

He had also seen the dragon lady beside his master, but he didn’t even bother to greet her despite sensing that her strength was greater than his own. As to where his confidence and pride came from, even Ren Shuang himself didn’t know...

Jiu Shen nodded his head at him before he pulled Long Meili down to the first floor.

It was early in the morning, and the customers were already abundant. They greeted Jiu Shen with smiles while also taking curious glances at the young lady beside him, but they didn’t dare harbor any lewd thoughts about her at all since there was a pair of cold eyes looking at them... Who could it be other than Theia?

"Master (Lord Sect Master) (Wine Master Jiu)." Everyone greeted Jiu Shen with respect.

Jiu Shen smiled at his subordinates as he announced. "After the store closes later, I will cook for everyone, and I will also let you drink wine for free. Tell all of our people to gather tonight at the beast fighting arena." He then took a glance at the fourth prince and the fifth princess who was now a waiter and a waitress of his store respectively as he said.

"You can also invite your father to join us."

After hearing this, the fourth prince and the fifth princess’ eyes lit up as they immediately nodded their heads. "Yes, Wine Master Jiu." They said with excited voices.

"Wine Master Jiu, what about us your loyal customers? Hehe." Liu Xiufeng who was drinking with Boss Scar and his mercenary buddies suddenly said which immediately garnered everyone’s attention.

The loyal customers of the wine store knew that anything that Jiu Shen makes was priceless and helpful in their cultivation. Even just a cup of his wine was already equivalent to a cultivation pill, so upon hearing that he would cook for his subordinates, the loyal customers were already curious and excited. They just didn’t dare voice out their opinions because they were afraid that Theia would kick them out. And when they heard Liu Xiufeng’s words, all the customers silently praised him in their hearts. Such a brave man! Commend! Commend!

And right after Liu Xiufeng’s words fell, he suddenly felt a piercing glance aimed his way which sent shivers down his spine. ’Oh f*cking sh*t! I messed up...’ He cursed in his heart as he watched the gloating looks of Boss Scar and his buddies. ’These motherf*ckers!’

Liu Xiufeng who was in his drunken state immediately sobered up. He then stood up and smiled wryly at Theia as he said in embarrassment. "Young Miss Theia, you don’t need to throw me out. I can go out on my own."

Liu Xiufeng walked towards the exit with a regretful look on his face. Why did he have to interrupt Jiu Shen’s speech in the presence of the she-devil Young Miss Theia?

"Wait."

Liu Xiufeng was surprised and he stared at Jiu Shen with a confused look.

"You can join us tonight. And everyone here can also join us later." Jiu Shen said with a faint smile.

Liu Xiufeng’s brokenhearted face lit up as he cheered loudly. "Woah!"

All the customers also erupted into sonorous cheers of excitement when they heard Jiu Shen’s words.
