The Immortal's Wine Store

Jiu Shen stepped out of the Spirit World after replanting all the spiritual plants that he had collected from the Green Mountain Lake.

'Tomorrow, I'll start brewing the Frozen Origin. The process of making it is also much less complicated than making the Deep Sea Spring Dew. So it should be much easier...' Jiu Shen thought as he walked out of the kitchen.

There, he saw Lu Sulan wearing an apron over her white dress. She was serving wines to some customers with a stiff smile on her face. One look and anyone could tell that she wasn't used to acting like that.

Jiu Shen lips curved upwards at the sight of it.

"Who is this new lady here? Is she one of the staffs here?"

"She should be. Wine Master Jiu really has a good taste."

"Yeah! All the staffs here are peerless beauties. And they even serve Wine Master Jiu without protest. How lucky!"

"Quit comparing yourself with Wine Master Jiu! You're not even worth a crap in his presence."

"Shut the fuck up! Look who's talking here!"

The other customers simply laughed and joked with each other. Some were still curiously looking at Lu Sulan's figure with heated gazes, but they didn't dare overdo it or else they might be thrown out by Theia who was eyeing the whole store with her cold gaze.

Who among them didn't know the most violent ass-kicker in the whole Silver Wing Empire? Aside from that, she didn't even bat an eyelid when she killed those who had insulted Jiu Shen. With all those things in mind, the customers didn't dare misbehave inside the store. Even the most violent of mercenaries were now acting like well-mannered intellectuals, not even daring to let out a fart.

Jiu Shen shook his head and walk upstairs towards his room. He was planning to check the rewards that the system distributed after he finished collecting the ingredients of the Frozen Origin.

Lu Sulan had already felt her master's presence, but she chose to give her master some space. She just quietly watched her master's broad but lonely back as he went upstairs.

"Master..." She silently muttered with a worried expression.

Lu Sulan then felt a soft palm rubbing her back gently. Lu Sulan turned sideways with a surprised look. It was Hestia, one of her master's store staffs.

When Lu Sulan first saw Hestia, she was shocked. This gentle and beautiful young lady with long red hair was actually an initial 8th-rank Divine realm cultivator like herself! Not just that, Lu Sulan also had an absurd feeling that Hestia was many times stronger than her! Although Lu Sulan couldn't properly explain the reason for this, that's what she sensed after looking at Hestia.

With a gentle and kind smile, Hestia rubbed Lu Sulan's back and said. "Don't be too worried about, master."

"I don't know about that, Miss Hestia. I might have said something wrong to master earlier..." Lu Sulan said with a sigh.b

Hestia didn't give a reply. She just comforted the worried Lu Sulan with her sweet smile.

The customers' eyes shone brightly when they saw the two beauties comforting each other. It was such a rare sight for two peerlessly beautiful women to act like that.

Lu Sulan's face turned red after sensing everyone's gaze lingering on them. She then looked at everyone with a cold glare as her 8th-rank Divine realm aura unconsciously gushed out of her body.

All the customers inside the store felt the dense and suffocating aura that she was emitting causing everyone to feel their palms sweating heavily.

'So this harmless-looking young lady is also a top expert?! Why is everyone inside the store so absurdly strong? Don't tell me that even the gentle and kind Young Miss Hestia is also a top expert?' This was what everyone thought after feeling the aura around Lu Sulan.

Lu Sulan felt a bit satisfied after seeing everyone's fearful looks. She then gave a cold harrumph before she found herself a seat. She was clearly not in the mood to continue serving the customers any longer.

Hestia chuckled while covering her small lips with her hands.

Jiu Shen sat crossed legged in his room.

"System, I want to open the rewards that I got earlier." Jiu Shen spoke.

- Ding!

- Loading Rewards!

- Host, do you wish to open the Kitchen Tools Gift Package?

"Yes." Jiu Shen replied.

- Ding!

- Congratulations to the host!

- You received x1 Supreme Eternal Knife Set!

- You received x1 Divine Devil Skull Frying Pan!

- You received x1 White Tiger King Griller!

Jiu Shen glanced at the Supreme Eternal Knife Set with a probing look. There were ten knives sheathed in a wooden knife block. He could tell that those ten knives were far from ordinary. Even in their sheathed state, all ten knives were emitting a dense murderous aura. Those knives didn't look like kitchen tools at all. In fact, they could be considered as killing weapons if their overall power was taken into account.

Jiu Shen who already had the Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword just gave the knife set an indifferent glance before losing interest in it right after.

He then moved his gaze on a grayish frying pan that didn't look like a frying pan at all. It was safer to say that it was a cut portion of a creature's skull with a small black handle attached to it.

It was the Divine Devil Skull Frying Pan! From the name itself, it was a pan made from the skull of a Divine Devil, a creature that didn't exist in Nuar and can only be found somewhere in Hell. A mysterious place that everyone believed as the world that contained the vilest creatures and species in the whole multiverse.

Jiu Shen was quite familiar with the place since he had been there on many occasions. The ruler of that place was even an acquaintance of him. Recalling that person, the usually indifferent Jiu Shen felt his pupils constricting. He then shook his head and placed the distant memory at the back of his mind.

After that, he glanced at the third item with slightly squinted eyes. Just from one look, he could already tell what it was used for. The item looked like a typical griller just that it was emitting a dense beastly aura that covered Jiu Shen's entire room. It was the White Tiger King Griller...

"Are these items really just kitchen tools?"
