The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 124 - Furious Theia

The next day, the brilliant ray of the sun illuminated Beltran City.

The damaged infrastructures were now being rebuilt and the entire city also talked about the events that had happened last night. To others, it was an unforgettable memory that made their blood boil in excitement at the mere thought of it, but to some people, it was a violent nightmare that they wish to forget...

A lot of things happened in Beltran City that it was even almost decimated overnight. Not to mention Jiu Shen’s store that was attacked on the same day, however, it remained unharmed and those who went to the store with malicious intentions were almost wiped out!

When this news circulated the city, everyone became stunned, and this slightly famous wine store became even more prominent in the whole of Beltran City.

"Hey! Have you heard about that wine store that is the talk of everyone in the city?"

"Of course! I even heard that the store’s owner is an Alchemy Saint! Not just that, all the staffs inside the store are also strong experts!"

"It’s indeed as you said. Someone even told me that more than a hundred experts launched a raid on the store. In the end, almost all of them were killed, and even our almighty Emperor Elyk went there himself to offer his assistance!"

Four young ladies in their late teens can be seen walking on the street that led towards Jiu Shen’s store, and they were somewhat surprised at the news that had circulated. The four of them wore the same set of icy blue robes with a sword and cloud insignia drawn on their right shoulder. Each of them were beauties with different temperaments, but the one leading them still stood out.

"Sister Hua, I thought this place is a remote part of Beltran City. How come there are a lot of people walking in this place?" One of the four young ladies spoke with a bewildered voice as she looked at the young woman leading the four of them.

If one would look closely, this young woman was actually the disciple of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect that first received Jiu Shen’s guidance in sword techniques. Furthermore, she was now at the peak stage of the 4th-rank Knight Crusader realm and was on the verge of breaking through the next realm! When Jiu Shen visited the Ice Cloud Sword Sect last time, she was only at the early stage of the 4th-rank Knight Crusader, so it can be seen how huge her development was after getting Jiu Shen’s sword guidance.

Xiao Hua was similarly surprised at the scene in front of her. She had once come to this place when she was out in a mission for the sect, but it was not as bustling as today. It was to the point that she almost thought that this wasn’t the same street she had once been into.

"I’ve been here before and I’m certain that it wasn’t as prosperous as it is today, but I think I know the reason for this..." Xiao Hua’s voice was filled with tenderness as she suddenly recalled the figure of the man who had helped her correct the mistakes in her sword techniques. Actually, after he had guided her that day, she could no longer forget his image and it even reached the point where she dreamt of him from time to time.

Looking at Xiao Hua’s blushing face, the three young ladies giggled teasingly which immediately attracted the attention of some nearby pedestrians.

A few young men with notable backgrounds even tried to approach them, but when they felt the cultivation levels of the four young women, these confident young scions instantly lost their courage and left with dejected looks.

"A bunch of useless men! Did they really think that they can flaunt their status to us sisters?! Hmph!" The young lady with short black hair snorted as she glared at the young scions who were eyeing them like prey.

"Little Sister Mei Gui, just ignore them. These people are not worth our attention. We should just quickly go to that senior’s store since master told us to make haste." Xiao Hua said as she grabbed Mei Gui’s arm and ran away from the scene as her peals of laughter drifted in the street.

Looking at their two friends, the two young ladies who were left by two instantly sprinted towards them, leaving a sweet flower-like scent lingering in the air.

Right outside ’The Immortal’s Wine’.

The store was still shut tight, but a lot of customers were already waiting outside with patient looks on their faces. However, when the regular customers of Jiu Shen saw the new look of the store, their eyes widened in surprise and their jaws almost dropped to the ground from the sheer amount of shock that they felt.

Yesterday, it was just two-stories, but now...

Some customers rubbed their eyes, dumbstruck at what they’ve seen, and pointed at the number of floors in the store as they counted silently in their hearts.

One... Two... Three... Fuck! There are three fucking floors now?! Holy shit!

Some of them exclaimed in their hearts as they excitedly glanced at the store. Aside from the fact that it was now a three-story store, they also realized that it now looked more grandiose on the outside and they could even feel an imposing aura coming from the store.

The store’s deep crimson color and the vivid phoenixes and dragons carved on the walls made it look so majestic and awe-inspiring!

If the outside was already this great, then what about the inside?

The regular customers thought excitedly in their hearts. They were now eager to go inside and take a look at the changes in the store’s interior. They didn’t even bother thinking how such an absurd change happened overnight. Who was Wine Master Jiu? He was a very awesome and glorious Alchemy Saint! He was definitely capable of making this much change in the store, right?

Not long after, the entrance of the store suddenly sprung open, making everyone see the most beautiful and striking interior design that they had ever seen in their whole lives! Even the Silver Wing Empire’s imperial palace paled in comparison to the store’s magnificent style! Truly awesome!

The customers impatiently sprinted towards the store, but they suddenly saw the familiar figure of a blonde beauty who had a sword strapped behind her back. Those who knew her abruptly stopped in their tracks and like obedient kids, they walked slowly as if they were under the presence of the emperor, and they even forced out a crooked smile as they stared at Theia who was looking at them with a calm expression. When her tranquil gaze lingered on them, their hearts felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible energy, scaring them out of their wits.

As for those new customers who didn’t know who this hell’s daughter was, they continued to sprint excitedly towards the store.

This promptly made Jiu Shen’s regular customers let out knowing smiles as they glanced at each other with evil gazes.

And just as they had expected, before these new customers could even step inside the store, they suddenly felt an oppressive aura weighing down on them, making them stumble on the ground face first.

Putong.

Putong.

Putong.

...

More than ten individuals who had run the fastest landed on the ground with their faces kissing the solid ground, making them grimace in pain.

Those who were just a step behind them were confused, but before they could even laugh at those who were grimacing on the ground, they similarly met the same end.

Putong.

Putong.

Putong.

...

If it was just a few people stumbling, everyone would surely believe that it was just a coincidence, but if more than a few dozen stumbled all at the same time, then there should be a reason for it. The ones who had yet to suffer stopped in their tracks and they finally glanced at the beautiful figure who came out from the store and thought to themselves. ’Was it this weak and dainty lady that caused the others to stumble as if their legs turned into jelly?’

"If you want to go inside the store, line up properly, and don’t cause a ruckus. If not, then you can scram!" Theia’s cold voice echoed like a morning bell that stunned the new customers who wished to go inside the store. As for the regular customers, they glanced at the newbies as if they were waiting for a show. A trace of disdain flashed in their eyes as they stood to witness the scene.

There was bound to be someone who was unaware of the store’s strength...

And not long after, someone from the crowd of new customers indeed voiced out his displeasure.

"What kind of attitude is this?! Is this how you treat your potential customers? If that’s the case, then I might as well leave this place since we’re not welcomed here! Pah!" A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes spat a mouthful of phlegm as he stared angrily at Theia.

Oh! Oh! Someone actually has the guts to do this to Young Miss Theia! Big bro, we admire your courageous heart! Admirable! Admirable!

The regular customers laughed coldly in their hearts as they spectated the scene with excitement.

A flicker of killing intent flashed before Theia’s beautiful blue eyes.

"Old dog, lick that phlegm off the ground and I’ll spare your dog life!" Theia’s cold voice was laced with a threat as she stared at the middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes.

Here it comes! Young Miss Theia’s implacable rage!

The middle-aged man felt furious as he spat another mouthful of saliva. He then pointed at Theia and shouted with an arrogant look. "Little girl, listen carefully, this old man is Bai Yot from the Bai Family! Who do you think you are to act wilfully in my presence?!"

Theia’s body trembled as the murderous look in her eyes intensified to a terrifying degree. The temperature in the surroundings changed and it turned cold all of sudden.

Bai Yot glanced at Theia mockingly after seeing her shivering body. He thought that he had scared her by mentioning his Bai Family, making him raise his head high proudly.

"Are you fucking scared now? Don’t worry I can spare your little life as long as you stay with me for a night. How about it? It’s not too bad a deal, right? Hahaha!" Bai Yot’s arrogant laughter reverberated on the streets.

The Bai Family was indeed quite strong in Beltran City since it was just below the top families in terms of power and authority, so Bai Yot’s arrogance was not unfounded.

However, he had just provoked the most baleful existence of the Silver Wing Empire...

"What?! Are you too scared to speak n-" Before Bai Yot could even finish his words, his head suddenly slanted sidewards before it dropped on the ground.

Thud.

Thud.

His headless body managed to take two steps forward before it slumped on the ground, bathing in his own pool of blood.

Thud.

His severed head which was still wearing an arrogant look rolled on the ground...

The bloody scene made the spectating crowd shiver in dread.
