The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 227 Shocked Parents
Five days after the rebellion of the Xue Family and the Eternal Corpse Sect, ‘Eternal Slaughter’ welcomed an unexpected guest.
It was a friendly-looking old man with long white hair that reached his waist. He looked like a refined individual with a graceful demeanor and intelligent charisma. This old man was none other than Emperor Elyk's father.
Behind the old man was Emperor Elyk who put a wide grin on his face as they entered the wine shop.
“What is it?!” The old man showed a surprised expression as he scanned the shop. The exterior design was already good enough to surprise her, but to think that even her interior design exceeded her expectations!
From the ceiling to the floor, everything inside the wine shop could only be described as luxurious and beautiful! Fuck those! Even the tables and chairs look impressive!
“Yeah! Holy hooch! Our imperial palace looks like a shabby cottage compared to this place! Absolutely beautiful!” The old man exclaimed with a shining look.
Emperor Elyk could only laugh dryly when he heard that. He felt the same way as his father when he first saw the change in the wine shop.
“Wait! Waitaminute! Waitaminute! Did my eyes fool me!? That spiritual plant... Isn't that... The Earth Origin Dragon Tree?! And that one over there! Aren't they.. The extinct True Hearts? Ice Sword Tree?!” The old man who was still calm a moment ago was now panting heavily as he stared at the rank 9 spiritual plant that displayed like some kind of bonsai.
Even their Silveria Imperial Family only had one rank 9 spiritual plant, and were even placed in an extremely safe location that was heavily guarded by their most elite soldiers! So how could he not be surprised to see such a high-level spiritual plant displayed openly in public? One of them is even an extinct species. And to the old man's surprise, not a single customer bothered to glance at this precious spiritual plant!
Looking at the customer's face, the old man was confused. He found a few mercenaries among them and most of these mercenaries were known for their greedy nature, so why would no one dare look at that spiritual plant? However, when the old man recalled Jiu Shen's strength, he felt it was a little understandable, but even so, it wouldn't hurt to look at it for a moment, right?
Behind him, Emperor Elyk silently sneered when he saw the look on his father's face. The emperor's lips trembled as he held back his laughter.
The old man did not pay attention to his son's silly expression as his focus was only on the scene before his eyes. He inched closer to the spiritual plant, but before he could take another step forward, the old man suddenly felt a pair of cold eyes staring at his back sharply. He scrunched his brows and turned his head.
He saw a valiant young lady with golden hair. He was dressed like a knight and a sword was tied behind his back.
When the old man felt his strength, he was shocked. ‘Santo rank 9 final stage! And from the young aura he emitted, he should be no more than thirty! What the fuck!’
“If I were you, I wouldn't take another step forward.” Theia said with a cold expression.
The old man felt a hint of pressure from Theia's cold gaze. ‘He is one small realm weaker than me, so why do I have the strange feeling that he can easily defeat me?’ He murmured in his heart.
Theia furrowed her brows. The old man's gaze was clear and did not contain the slightest bit of hatred, but he still stubbornly stared at him, refusing to back down.
Emperor Elyk felt deja vu as he watched this scene. He didn't move because he knew nothing bad was going to happen. He only wanted to see the appearance of his defeated parents. Thinking about it, Emperor Elyk chuckled softly in his heart.
“What happened here, Theia?” A seductive seductive voice suddenly floated up, making Theia, Emperor Elyk, and the old man stare at the newcomer.
She was a tall young woman with long purple hair. She was wearing a short crystal white dress that accentuated her arching figure.
“Meili.” Theia greeted warmly. Initially, Theia did not like this dragon lady, but after more than a month of meeting, they became as close as brothers.
Long Meili smiled at him. He then turned his gaze to the emperor's father and asked in a polite tone. “Is there something wrong with our service, Mister?”
The old man remained silent. It was as if he had not heard his question. He only glanced at Long Meili with a dumbfounded expression on his aged face. ‘Aura this! I will never be wrong about this! Another Nascent God Realm expert! What kind of place is this?! Is this really just a wine shop?! Not to mention there is no staff that looks weak ..’
“Master? Long Meili waved her right hand in front of the old man which made the old man break away from his confused state.
“Ah, this...I just want to take a closer look at the Earth Origin Dragon Tree and the True Heart Ice Sword Tree. I didn't mean to be mean, Miss.” He said, looking rather calm, but he shouted in his heart.
“Oh, then, let this man take a closer look, Theia. No problem as long as he doesn't touch them.” Long Meili said to Theia with a smile.
Theia reluctantly nodded her head.
“OK, but you can't touch it.” He said while glaring at the old man.
“I promise.” The old man said seriously.
After this short conversation, Long Meili left the scene after saying a few words to Theia. The latter also returned to its place to continue observing other customers.
The old man heaved a sigh of relief as the two women left. “So that's why everyone behaves well here, yes.” He muttered.
