The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 75 Ice Asks for Milk
“If there is nothing else, then we will return to our place. Excuse me, Your Highness.” Liu Mengdi bowed to the second prince.
The latter nodded his head and waved his hand with a smile on his face.
‘Rumors about this store should be true considering how Liu Mengdi acted. If that was the case, I would not be able to obtain the Earth Origin Dragon Tree no matter how I try. But it doesn't matter, I won't let this disappointment ruin my plans.’ The second Prince thought to himself while glancing at the Earth Origin Dragon Tree in one corner of the shop.
He also saw a small fruit hanging on the small tree, but he did not dare to look at it for too long. ‘That fruit should be enough for me to increase my strength even further, but I will not risk my life for it.’
Jiu Shen looked at the second prince with a calm gaze. Although he was a little surprised by what he saw, it did not last long.
“Something interesting will definitely happen to the Silver Wing Empire with the presence of this person. I have to find time to check it out when it happens.” Jiu Shen muttered to himself.
“Meong.”
Jiu Shen glanced down and saw a fat white cat with plump cheeks looking at him with a pleading gaze. “Man, 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 table and chair later!” Ice glared at Jiu She who was now closing her eyes tightly.
Jiu Shen grinned in his heart when he heard the childish voice of Ice ringing in his head. Ice actually sounds like a little girl at the age of six!
“You finally decided to talk now yes, little tiger.” Jiu Shen sent back a message to Ice with his eyes still closed.
“How do you know?! Ah-I mean.. What little tiger!? I'm cat! Cute and adorable cat!” Ice's cute loli voice resounded loudly in Jiu Shen's head.
Jiu Shen remained silent, making the already angry Ice even more furious. He then jumped onto Jiu Shen's lap, but in the end, he did not dare to scratch it.
“Stupid man! Stupid human! Stinking humans! Meow .” Ice's childish voice resounded loudly inside Jiu Shen's head.
“I'll give you two bowls of milk if you can keep still.” The ice expression softened after hearing Jiu Shen's indifferent voice.
Her big blue eyes widened and lines of saliva were also seen flowing out from her tiny mouth. “Two bowls of good and tasty milk?! Hurhur . Meow .”
Jiu Shen opened his eyes for a while and shook his head at the scene. “It is difficult to believe that you are a Glacial Sovereign Tiger of the God Realm ranked 10..”
“You... You... How do you know?” With a dumbfounded expression that should not be on the cat, Ice raised one of its tiny claws and pointed it at Jiu Shen while standing on its hind legs.
Jiu Shen glanced at Ice and smiled as he patted the little cat Ice's head. “You better behave or I might throw you back to the Sacred Beast Continent.”
Ice was still enjoying Jiu Shen's touch as her expression turned into extreme horror. “It.... That... You also know that I came there?!Stinking humans! I hate you! Meong .”
Jiu Shen smiled and chuckled silently as he stared playfully at the fat white cat that was now lying pitifully in his arms.
Lu Sulan, Hestia, and Theia were now staring at their master with dumbfounded faces. They actually saw Jiu Shen laughing for the first time! The time might be short, but they would never forget the dashing smile that was attached to her face as she rubbed the little head of Ice.
“That fat cat...” Lu Sulan and Hestia heard Theia's cold murmur sounding beside their ears. The two of them shut their mouths in hopes of refraining from laughing.
“What are you two laughing at? Go back to your place and serve our customers!” Theia almost snapped after hearing the two women giggling on the sidelines.
Hestia stuck out her tongue and fled while Lu Sulan slowly walked away without turning his head.

“Your Majesty, our people sent us a report that Second Prince Arslan is now inside the wine shop.” An imperial guard said as he kneeled on the ground with one knee.
Emperor Elyk frowned when he heard the report. He then glanced at the imperial guard and said. “Leave it. It doesn't matter as long as he doesn't provoke people from that store.”
“But, Your Highness .. The fourth prince and the fifth princess are also heading there. If their group met inside the store, they might cause trouble. It's okay if only the fourth prince but the fifth princess are together with them.he.” The imperial guard said with a contorted look.
Emperor Elyk's eyes widened and he could not help but slam his throne armrest. “What?! Why is there no stopping that little demon from exiting the imperial palace?!”
“Your Majesty, our people did, but His Majesty threatened us that if we did not let him out, he would force us to run around naked in Beltran City. We didn't dare to hold him back for long or he might actually go berserk. Last time it happened.. Sigh.” The imperial guard had an expression of distress as he spoke.
Emperor Elyk sighed heavily and rubbed his temple. “Is Defender Duanmu with them?” The emperor asked with a worried tone.
“Yes, Your Grace. Duanmu's defenders followed behind them secretly.” The imperial guard replied.
Emperor Elyk heaved a sigh of relief and said. “Then let's hope the old man can handle them.”
