The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 32 - Famous Fat Cat, Ice

Jiu Shen’s store was densely packed with people due to its rising fame. He merely wanted to live a quiet life in the wine store and drink wine to relieve his boredom. Who knew that a certain young patriarch had spread exaggerated stories about his wine store, making many people infinitely curious about the authenticity of the rumors.

Who wouldn’t be curious about the wines that were capable of making someone breakthrough realms and a dish that had a similar effect to a cultivation pill? Other than that, the said wine store also had two peerless beauties working as a waitress and a guard. Most importantly, the owner had a cute and adorable chubby white cat that loves to drink milk.

After hearing the rumors about Ice, the eyes of the young ladies in Beltran City brightened with expectations. They already imagined Ice’s cute appearance as they held it in their embrace. Thinking up to that, they left their homes and excitedly headed towards Jiu Shen’s wine store.

That was also the reason why his store was packed with people.

As for Fatty Xue who had lost consciousness a few moments ago, he was still lying on the ground with blood trickling down his lips. Everyone made room for him in fear that somebody might accuse them for what had happened to the fatty.

"Isn’t this Fatty Xue from the Xue Family? How did he lose consciousness? Did someone sneak attack him because of his wealth?" Someone from the crowd was able to recognize the appearance of Fatty Xue.

The crowd revealed looks of dread after hearing that he was someone from the Xue Family.

"What?! This piggy err, I mean handsome lord is actually Fatty Xue?! Quick, let’s bring him to the Xue Family!"

A few people among the crowd carried his body away from the scene. They will bring him to the Xue Family. Who knows? They might even receive a reward from the Xue Family for saving one of their descendants.

The crowd parted to give them enough space to leave the scene. They did not even dare covet Fatty Xue’s treasure.

Meanwhile, inside Jiu Shen’s store, a group of young ladies was seated on a table with bright smiles on their faces. One of them held a chubby cat in her embrace. The fat cat flashed its adorable big eyes at them causing the young ladies’ hearts to melt.

"Ice is so cute that I want to hug him forever!" The young lady holding Ice giggled while tenderly rubbing Ice’s white fur.

The other ladies nodded their heads in agreement while looking at the fat cat with shining eyes.

"What an adorable cat! If only I can bring him home..."

"Me too, I want to bring Ice home..."

After seeing the looks in their eyes, the chubby white cat revealed a look of horror. ’Humans, don’t... If I leave the store, I won’t be able to drink the milk that Jiu Shen gives me daily...’

Ice glance at Jiu Shen with a pleading gaze only to see him indifferently looking at it.

Jiu Shen ignored the chubby cat’s glances and closed his eyes to meditate.

After having been ignored by Jiu Shen, Ice showed a look of despair as it tried to escape from the young ladies. It did not dare use its strength for fear that it might accidentally kill them. If that happens, Jiu Shen would surely not feed it with milk anymore.

After seeing that it wanted to escape, the young ladies giggled and allowed it to jump out of their embrace.

They did not really plan to bring Ice in their homes. They merely said that because Ice was just too cute...

Ice heaved a sigh of relief after escaping from the ladies. Its plan was to act cute in front of the ladies to make them willingly give their food to it. Who knew that its genius plan would backfire and almost caused it to leave the store?

It then glared at Jiu Shen before it went to hide behind Hestia with a sad look on its face.

Outside the store, three silhouettes wearing robes glanced at the store’s entrance.

"Fourth brother, is this the store that you mentioned? It doesn’t look outstanding in the slightest." Said one of them with a sweet but disdainful voice. After seeing the store’s name, the young lady laughed coldly in her heart. ’What Immortal’s Wine? Why don’t you call yourself as a god instead? The owner of this store should be an uncouth old man with bad taste. Such shameless boasting! Hmph!’

"Little fifth sister, don’t look down on this store. Although its name is somewhat high-profile, it’s not that exaggerated at all. Once you taste the wines sold inside, you will know. Especially their Deep Sea Spring Dew, I can still vividly remember its two distinct aftertastes that caused me a few sleepless nights..." One of them replied in an infatuated voice.

"Your highness, the fourth prince is not exaggerating at all. The wines here are indeed treasures..." Said an old man in a gentle voice.

The lady draped in robes snorted in disdain. She did not believe their claims at all. The reason why she went here was because of Ice. She wanted to see if it is as cute as the rumors say it is. "Hmph! The both of you are just drunkards who love to drink wine. You’ve said the same thing to most of the wines you tasted before. It’s nothing new at all..."

The fourth prince and Defender Duanmu were stumped at the fifth princess’ words, but the fourth prince still replied. "Fifth sister, the wines here are different than the ones we’ve tasted before. Even the best wine here is many times greater than imperial father’s Phoenix’s Godly Flames Wine."

The young lady remained silent as they stepped inside the store.

She was stunned the moment she came inside. ’How did the space here suddenly become bigger?’

She suspiciously glanced around the store only to see a spotlessly clean surroundings with a calm and tranquil atmosphere.

Everyone was strangely behaved inside the store. She even saw a group of mercenaries behaving like cultured scholars. ’Is this place really as magical as the rumors say?’ She thought to herself.
