The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 474: Back To Gardening Duties

"City Lord! Things are not looking good!"

Serek's anxious voice echoed outside the City Lord's manor. This made Corpse Lord crease his eyebrows. He exasperatedly opened the door of his room and saw a haggard-looking Serek standing before him. Seeing his most capable subordinate like this, the City Lord was finally alarmed.

"Speak! What happened?" The City Lord asked.

Serek calmed himself and collected his thoughts. He then replied with a hint of nervousness in his tone. "City Lord, the group that you told me to observe... There is a strong individual protecting them! I couldn't even sense his strength and he was able to stun me and my subordinates in place! We were powerless against his power and we could only wait for his verdict! Luckily, none of us showed killing intent at that time or he would have slaughtered us in that place! City Lord, I feel that this person is someone stronger than a True God Realm expert!"

The face of Corpse Lord changed upon hearing this. Serek was a peak Mystic God Realm expert, but he was locked in place by someone. This could only be done by a peak stage True God Realm expert or a Supreme God Realm expert!

"Maintain friendly relations with Jiu Shen at all costs and don't allow anyone from our faction to stay near that place again. Wait... Didn't he buy that old restaurant from you? Make sure that no one will cause trouble for him there!" Corpse Lord hastily gave out an order. With the information he got from Serek, he knew that he was no match for the power behind Jiu Shen. The best thing he could do was befriend them!

Serek nodded his head solemnly. He knew that they had other solutions for this, so he could only follow the City Lord's instructions. "Yes, City Lord!"

After Serek left, Corpse Lord took out a bottle of wine from his space ring and muttered. "Someone who could create this wine isn't someone ordinary. I was right about not provoking you, Jiu Shen..."

"Master, I've brought them here..." A Soul Puppet said to Jiu Shen as he pointed at the small group of people standing behind him. They were Yue Bo, Balmond, Ganda, and the Elf King, Amdiel. These four were the former gardeners of his branch store in Morlon City.

"Greetings, Sect Master!" The four individuals greeted him respectfully. All of them had already reached the peak stage of the Void God Realm and it was only a matter of time before they could step into the Mystic God Realm!

Jiu Shen nodded at the Soul Puppet and told him to go back to his post. He then glanced at the four people with a smile. "It's good to see you guys again. Come in!"

Balmond and the others followed behind Jiu Shen and entered through the golden gates.

"This..."

The large garden was filled with precious spiritual plants that blinded their eyes! The size of this garden was at least ten times larger than the one in Morlon City! Not to mention the level of the spiritual plants here...

Jiu Shen smiled when he saw their reactions. "This building is my new store and you guys will work as the gardeners of this place. I would only feel at ease if you four are the ones tending my spiritual plants. As you can see, these guys are quite temperamental and they needed to be tended well..." Jiu Shen said as he pointed at the dragon building ahead of them. The coiling dragon design was so exquisite and well-crafted that the four people could only remain silent with shock.

"Sect Master, these spiritual plants, I can't see their levels..." Yue Bo said after discovering that he couldn't gauge the power of the spiritual plants in the garden. Upon hearing this, the other three were stunned and they began observing the spiritual plants, but they were dumbstruck when they noticed that they failed to identify their power!

Jiu Shen chuckled and answered. "Most of these spiritual plants are at the Supreme God-rank, while a few of them are at the Heavenly God-rank, so you guys have to make sure that you will treat them well..."

"What?!" The four were stunned when they heard his words. What was a Supreme God Realm?! What was a Heavenly God Realm?! The four of them were even struggling to breakthrough to the Mystic God Realm and now Jiu Shen wanted them to take care of these malevolent creatures? It was crazy! However, this was also an opportunity for them!

"What about it? Are you guys up for it?" Jiu Shen scanned the faces of the four. He didn't even have to wait for long before they answered with determination.

"Sect Master, we accept your offer!"

Jiu Shen already expected their answer, so he wasn't surprised by this. "Good! I know I wasn't wrong about you guys, but before you begin with your gardening duties, let me warn you about a few things first." Jiu Shen's voice turned serious, making the four people listen to him intently.

"From now on, you must cease contact with anyone from the Heavenly Sword Tower. The riches inside this dragon building are too tempting and it would soon attract the attention of many. When that happens, anyone involved with us would be implicated and they might even be used as hostages to acquire the wealth here. Starting today, the four of you are only gardeners of 'The Immortal's Wine Store'! Remember to call me Wine Master Jiu Shen next time..." Jiu Shen stated in a calm voice.

"Yes, Wine Master Jiu Shen!" The four nodded their heads in understanding. They were smart individuals so they immediately understood why Jiu Shen was doing this. They also didn't anything want to happen to their friends, so they agreed right away...

"Alright. Familiarize yourselves with the dragon building. If you have any questions, you can find the waitresses here and ask them anything." Jiu Shen left after saying those words.

"It looks like we're back to our gardening duties." Yue Bo muttered with a smile.
