The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 168 - Ice's Human Form

A chubby white cat who was sleeping soundly on the floor just a few moments ago suddenly rolled sideways before abruptly rising on its feet. It then glared towards where Jiu Shen was roughly located. It could sense a very strong presence in this direction which greatly surprised it, but when it saw Jiu Shen’s face, it revealed a dumbfounded human-like expression.

Swoosh.

A streak of white light traveled towards Jiu Shen, and an adorable fat cat came into his view. This was none other than Ice, the lazy cat that Jiu Shen left here to protect the kids secretly.

"Stinky human, how come you look different now? Strange. This is very strange indeed. Aren’t you just a 9th-rank Saint realm expert? Could it be... No way! You just left for a few days and you’re already a Nascent God Realm expert?! Impossible! I must be dreaming! Yeah, that’s right! This must be a dream! Meeow!" Ice’s lolita voice reverberated inside Jiu Shen’s head.

Jiu Shen ignored her words as he smiled and smacked the fat cat’s head. "Lazy cat." He muttered.

Smack.

Ow! Ow! Meow!

Ice put on a hostile look as she grabbed her big furry head with both her front paws. Of course, she wasn’t really injured since she was already a Nascent God Realm beast. She just felt that she was being treated like a kid by Jiu Shen, so she immediately became incensed.

"Smelly human! Don’t treat this cute cat as a kid! I’m already more than a hundred years old! Hmph! Meow!" Ice crossed her front paws on top of her bulging belly as she stood in front of Jiu Shen like how a human would.

More than a hundred years old? Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart as he tried to recall his age, but to no avail. He had even forgotten when he had stopped counting how old he was. If he celebrated his birthday, he might even fill a whole world with candles and lit it ablaze. That would be amusing...

With a look of disdain, Jiu Shen smiled at Ice while looking at her huge belly. "You lazy fatso does nothing but drink milk and sleep all day. Look at your tummy, it’s already so big. Do you want to become a pig?"

Ice’s cat face darkened as she tried to look at her belly, but she couldn’t even look downward anymore due to her excessive fats. Her expression revealed a human-like dejection when she realized this, and she could not help but glance at Jiu Shen pitifully. "Smelly human! How come I’ve grown this chubby after merely a few months?! Huhuh! I don’t want to be a fat pig! Meow!"

Jiu Shen almost burst into laughter when he saw the comical appearance of the fat cat. "Aren’t you a Nascent God Realm god beast progeny? Try transforming in your human form and see if you are still as fat as you are now."

The eyes of the chubby cat lit up and she immediately raised her thumbs up to Jiu Shen with her front paws. "Right! Why did I not think of that? You still have some brains for a smelly human! Meow!"

After saying those words, Ice’s figure slowly morphed into a small girl with short white hair. She looked like a little girl at the age of six with her baby face and short and chubby limbs. If she were to stand in front of Jiu Shen, she would only be as tall as his knees.

Looking at her adorable face, anyone’s heart would surely melt and they would certainly want to hug this little lolita in their embrace. She looked just like a little angel in her white furry clothes. Truly cute!

Ice stretched her four limbs as she familiarized herself with her human form, and she was pleasantly surprised when she realized that she could now look at her belly. Although her limbs were slightly chubby, at least she could now move normally unlike in her cat form.

"Hahaha! I can now see my belly! Hey! Smelly human, look! I can see my belly! It’s not that big! Meow!" Ice was ecstatic at her discovery and she could not help but grabbed Jiu Shen’s arms to get his attention. Her cute smile almost reached her ears as she erupted into peals of laughter.

Jiu Shen’s face turned gentle as he rubbed Ice’s little head. "Let’s go back to the store. I’ll let you drink some milk." He said with a smile.

After hearing his words, Ice’s expression lit up and she immediately nodded her head with an expectant look. "Hehehe! I want three bowls of yummy milk! Meow!"

Jiu Shen smiled as he hugged the lolita in his arms before he teleported with her back inside his store.

The sudden appearance of Jiu Shen inside the store surprised the customers, and they could not help but cast a series of curious glances towards the cute little lolita in Jiu Shen’s arms.

What a beautiful and adorable little girl! Is she Wine Master Jiu’s daughter? Thinking about that, everyone’s eyes went wide as they stared at the duo who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Even Hestia and Theia had doubtful looks on their faces as they stared at Jiu Shen and the little girl in his embrace.

"Master, this is?" Hestia asked as she looked at Jiu Shen in bewilderment.

"Don’t ask so many questions. Just give me a glass and fill it with milk." Jiu Shen said as he ruffled Hestia’s hair.

Ah!

Hestia covered her head as she looked at Jiu Shen in surprise. There seemed to be something different with Jiu Shen and he seemed more cheerful than usual, but when she heard that he wants a glass of milk, she glanced at the young girl with a head of white hair in his arms with a suspicious look.

Theia who was standing near the entrance of the store was also curious, but she didn’t bother asking Jiu Shen. She believed that he would explain it to them at the right time. Aside from that, she could sense a familiar aura from that little girl... "Could she be...so my guess was right. That cat must be a god beast progeny. A creature that is already at the Nascent God Realm at the moment of its birth..." She muttered with a look of realization.

Theia had bits and pieces of information in her memory, and it should be related to her past life. Suddenly, she saw a scene that always flashed inside her head.

A lonely silhouette with a short sword strapped behind his back as he gave lectures about sword comprehension. "I can’t recall his name... Who is he?"
