The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 357 Meeting Jiu Shen Again
“Your Highness, I think it would be better if you changed to your original shape. If I wasn't around, those demons might have already pounced on you ..” Hanzo whispered to Amon while glaring at the demons who were looking at them with an intense gaze.
“Hmph! Even without you, I can destroy those idiots!” Amon muttered in annoyance, but he still changed into his original form. His real body was a tall and thin demon with well-chiseled muscles. His body was purple and his eyes were black like obsidian.
“Violet skin and obsidian eyes! It's the symbol of the imperial family! Who is that guy?!”
“A member of the imperial family is actually here! What the hell is going on? Is he also here to visit that famous lotus building?”
Over the past two weeks, Jiu Shen's lotus building has become increasingly popular as more demons come to visit. In addition to the valuable wines sold in the store, there is also another reason for its recent surge in popularity. And that was the existence of the herb garden outside the store!
Dozens of valuable herbs were planted in the herb garden, making the air around the lotus building the most refreshing in the entire City of Morlon. And because of the scarcity of this spiritual herb, it attracted the hearts of many greedy people. However, the superintendent of Morlon City suddenly issued a direct order to everyone living in the city.
The old devil said at that time: “No one is allowed to steal herbs from this store. Anyone seen stealing, they will be executed in public!”
The orders of Demon Ancestor Jun were like a bucket of cold water to these greedy people. However, they could only curse the old demon in their hearts because no one was brave enough to fight him.
Hearing the terrifying and respectful voice of the demons, Amon snorted in disdain at them.
“Do you know who the owner of this store is?” Amon asked Hanzo who was following behind him.
Hanzo thought for a moment before answering. “I have never seen the man in person, but I heard my subordinates call him Mr. Wine Jiu Shen ..”
When Hanzo said that name, Amon stopped and turned his gaze to the first one.
“You said what his name is?” Amon asked with a much louder volume.
“Jiu Shen's. They called him the Wine Master Jiu Shen. Your Majesty, do you perhaps know this person?” Hanzo asked curiously. He knew that the prince brought along his subordinates to the Profound Dragon Continent to wreak havoc to prove himself as the rightful successor of Demon Emperor Balmond. However, the prince returned with a great loss. Many of his men died and even he was almost captured by the besieging enemy forces.
“Jiu Shen! How could I forget that name?! The person himself is the main reason for my failure! If he is not in the Silver Wing Empire, I can conquer him with my army! ” Amon gritted his teeth in anger. How could he forget about accidentally ruining all his plans?
Hanzo's face bowed as he looked at Amon's expression. It seemed like this Jiu Shen was someone from the Profound Dragon Continent.
“Y-Your Majesty, I remember that His Majesty told me that we must not create a conflict with Jiu Shen that for the time being. His Majesty is still busy with the conflict against the Rebel Army troops.” Hanzo hurriedly said as he pulled Amon.
Amon frowned when he heard that. “Rebel Soldiers? The ants? Don'worry. I promise I won't cause any trouble in the lotus building. I just want to see if that person is really the Jiu Shen I know.”
Seeing that Amon was pleasant, Hanzo heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright, but you must do as you promise, Your Majesty. You know what will happen if you do not obey His Majesty's orders. Even I can't help you when it happens.”.
Amon nodded his head earnestly. “I know. Let's go.”

Inside the lotus building, several dozen demons were seen drinking wine with his friends. The expressions of these demons were filled with satisfaction and happiness as they drank the wine in their cups. Even the most ferocious-looking demons now showed a docile appearance as they sat in good behavior.
In the corner of the shop, Jiu Shen who was leaning on his chair with a dazed look suddenly stared carelessly at the entrance of the lotus building. From his spiritual vision, he saw a small group of demons outside the gate of the building. They seemed to be looking at the spiritual herbs with surprise. However, Jiu Shen was looking at a certain individual with an amused look.
“That person is actually here? How could he come here so quickly?” He muttered to himself.
The chatter inside the store suddenly stopped when a new group of demons entered. Leading them were two demons wearing eye-catching clothes. One of them was wearing a noble robe and the other was wearing heavy armor.
“The guy... Isn't he Executioner Hanzo?!”
“Why is Executioner Hanzo here? And the man beside her seemed to be from the imperial family.”.
“Are you stupid? Of course, they are here to drink wine..What kind of stupid question is that?”.
Amon ignored the demonic whispers and searched among the crowd with a sharp gaze. When he saw the familiar figure sitting lazily in the far corner, his eyes flashed with a complicated look as he muttered.
“Jiu Shen...”.
