The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 75 - Ice Begging For Milk

"If there’s nothing else, then we’ll go back to our spot. Please excuse us, Your Highness." Liu Mengdi bowed at the second prince.

The latter nodded his head and waved his hands with a smile on his face.

’The rumors about this store should be true considering how Liu Mengdi acted. If that’s the case, I won’t be able to get the Earth Origin Dragon Tree no matter how I try to. But it doesn’t matter, I shall not let this disappointment ruin my plans...’ The second prince thought to himself while glancing at an Earth Origin Dragon Tree in one corner of the store.

He also saw a tiny fruit hanging on the small tree, but he did not dare look at it for long. ’That fruit should be enough for me to enhance my strength even further, but I won’t gamble my life for it.’

Jiu Shen gazed at the second prince with a calm look. Although he was slightly surprised at what he saw, it didn’t last for long.

"Something interesting is bound to happen to the Silver Wing Empire with this guy’s presence. I should find some time to check it out when that happens." Jiu Shen muttered to himself.

"Meow."

Jiu Shen glanced down below and saw a chubby white cat with fat cheeks looking at him with a pleading look. "Human, I want milk. Meow."

Jiu Shen ignored the telepathic message sent by Ice and closed his eyes.

"Meow, I know you can hear me! Give me milk or I’ll scratch the tables and chairs later!" Ice glared at Jiu She who now had his eyes shut tightly.

Jiu Shen smirked in his heart when he heard the childish voice of Ice ringing in his head. Ice actually sounded like a little girl at the age of six!

"You finally decided to talk now huh, little tiger." Jiu Shen sent back a message to Ice with his eyes still closed.

"How did you know?! Ah- I mean... What little tiger!? I’m a cat! A cute and adorable cat!" Ice’s cute loli voice echoed loudly in Jiu Shen’s head.

Jiu Shen remained silent, making the already angry Ice even more incensed. She then hopped onto Jiu Shen’s lap, but in the end, she did not dare scratch him.

"Foolish human! Stupid human! Stinky human! Meow." Ice’s childish voice reverberated loudly inside Jiu Shen’s head.

"I’ll give you two bowls of milk if you can shut up." Ice expression softened after hearing Jiu Shen’s indifferent voice.

Her big blue eyes widened and a line of saliva can also be seen streaming out of her tiny mouth. "Two bowls of delicious and yummy milk?! Hurhur. Meow."

Jiu Shen opened his eyes briefly and shook his head at the scene. "It’s hard to believe that you’re a 10th-rank God realm Glacial Sovereign Tiger..."

Ice glittering blue eyes widened in shock when she heard what Jiu Shen said. No one else knew her identity in the whole of the Profound Dragon Continent. She hasn’t even told anyone yet, so how did Jiu Shen know who she was?

"You... You... How did you know?" With a dumbfounded expression that shouldn’t be present on cats, Ice raised one of her dainty paws and pointed it at Jiu Shen while standing on her hind legs.

Jiu Shen glanced at Ice and smiled while patting Ice’s little cat head. "You better behave or else I might throw you back to the Divine Beast Continent."

Ice was still enjoying Jiu Shen’s touch when her expression turned into extreme horror. "That... That... You also know that I came there?!Stinky human! I hate you! Meow."

Jiu Shen smiled and chuckled silently while looking playfully at the chubby white cat who was now lying pitifully in his arms.

Lu Sulan, Hestia, and Theia were now glancing at their master with stunned faces. They actually saw Jiu Shen laugh for the very first time! The time might be short, but they will never forget that dashing smile lingering on his face as he rubbed the tiny head of Ice.

"That fat cat..." Lu Sulan and Hestia heard Theia’s icy muttering voice ringing beside their ears. They both covered their mouths in hopes of preventing themselves from laughing.

"What are the two of you laughing about? Go back to your spots and attend to our customers!" Theia almost snapped after hearing the two ladies giggling at the sidelines.

Hestia stuck her tongue out and ran away while Lu Sulan slowly walked away without turning her head around.

"Your Majesty, our men sent us a report that Second Prince Arslan is now inside the wine store." An imperial guard said while kneeling on the ground in one knee.

Emperor Elyk frowned when he heard the report. He then glanced at the imperial guard and said. "Just let him be. It matters not as long as he doesn’t provoke the people from that store."

"But, Your Majesty... The fourth prince and the fifth princess are also headed there. If their group meets inside the store, they might cause trouble. It will be fine if it’s just the fourth prince but the fifth princess is together with him." The imperial guard said with a contorted look.

Emperor Elyk’s eyes widened and he couldn’t help but slam the armrest of his throne. "What?! How come no one stopped that little demoness from going out of the imperial palace?!"

"Your Majesty, our men did, but her highness threatened us that if we don’t let her go out, she will force us to run around naked in Beltran City. We didn’t dare hold her for long or she might have really thrown down a tantrum. The last time it happened... Sigh." The imperial guard had a look of distress as he spoke.

Emperor Elyk let out a heavy sigh and rubbed his temples. "Is Defender Duanmu with them?" The emperor asked with a worried tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Defender Duanmu is following behind them secretly." The imperial guard replied.

Emperor Elyk sighed in relief and said. "Then let’s just hope that the old man can handle them."
