Chapter 104 - Discussion With The Emperor

Can Ye was stunned silly, and he even thought that he might have gone crazy. The almighty emperor of their Silver Wing Empire was actually acting so reserved and humble in front of this mysterious man who had given him the knife. Just who was he to make an expert like the emperor behave as if he was a subordinate?

"Elyk, is it? Tell your subordinates to clean this place. This is bad for my business." Jiu Shen said as he slowly stood up from his seat.

Ice who was resting on his lap once again dropped on the ground and bounced twice before she managed to stand steadily.

"Meow!"

She voiced out her displeasure, but she did not dare brandish her claws at Jiu Shen again. Who knew if that stinky human might really stop giving her that yummy and delicious milk? After thinking about that, she instantly put on an adorable look as if she had already forgotten what had happened.

Emperor Elyk was stumped for words, but after seeing Jiu Shen’s profound gaze, he could only put on a forced smile. Wine Master Jiu, since when did my subordinates become your street sweepers? He cried out in his heart.

The soldiers behind Defender Duanmu immediately revealed hostile looks, and if not for the emperor’s presence, they would have already pounced towards Jiu Shen and beat him to a pulp. But, could they really do that?

Defender Duanmu stared at them coldly while feeling scared in his heart. You fools! You actually dare to reveal that kind of look to this person? A bunch of bastards! Luckily, you were still able to restrain yourselves or I would have cut your heads personally to appease Wine Master Jiu’s fury. Defender Duanmu thought as he sighed in relief after seeing that Jiu Shen didn’t care about it, but then, he sensed a powerful suppression that was aimed at him, making him take a step back. After regaining his calmness, Defender Duanmu saw Theia standing behind Jiu Shen with a dark look on her face. He swore that he would surely teach these soldiers a lesson once they go back to the imperial palace...

The emperor was oblivious to this little exchange since his focus was entirely on Jiu Shen. No matter how he looked at the latter, he could still not fathom the depths of his power. This made him believed that his earlier conjecture about Jiu Shen being a 10th-rank God realm expert was most likely correct. The emperor’s expression became even more respectful after that.

"Not a problem at all, Wine Master Jiu. And to make sure that those people won’t be able to cause a ruckus again, I will have some of my men to stand guard here." Emperor Elyk smiled as he gestured something to Defender Duanmu. The latter understood his meaning and gathered a few soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

This time, Can Ye was already numbed as he listened to the conversation between the two. He wouldn’t even be surprised if the emperor would take Jiu Shen as his master...

Jiu Shen pondered for a moment before he shook his head. "There is no need for you to send your subordinates here. Come inside, I have some matters to speak with you privately."

Emperor Elyk was a bit surprised. He was curious about what Jiu Shen would like to discuss with him, but after pondering briefly, he still had no idea what it could be.

Jiu Shen stepped inside the store while the emperor trailed behind him obediently.

Defender Duanmu would like to come inside, but then he saw Theia standing at the entrance shaking her head with a calm look. The others were also curious about what Jiu Shen would like to discuss with the emperor, but after seeing Theia at the entrance, they instantly erased the thoughts of eavesdropping.

Just then, a fat white cat strutted in front of Theia before it stepped inside the store while stumbling occasionally due to its obese body.

Seeing how easily the fat cat was able to go inside, everyone felt their hearts convulsing violently. To think that a cat, a chubby white cat to be exact, was allowed to go inside, while they were denied entry...

Jiu Shen took a seat while before he gestured for the emperor to sit down.

Emperor Elyk looked around the store and was visibly impressed with the atmosphere. Furthermore, he had also seen the four Earth Origin Dragon Tree with each of them bearing three fruits, making his stunned. ’I thought an Origin Dragon Tree can only bear one fruit, so how come I am seeing three fruits for each tree?’ Emperor Elyk was perplexed but he didn’t dare ask Jiu Shen.

Normally, an Earth Origin Dragon Tree can only bear one or two fruits, but if it was planted in a good location with thick amount of true essence, then it wouldn’t a problem for a single tree to bear three or even more.

Emperor Elyk sighed in his heart and just acted as if he hadn’t seen anything. He then sat down in front of Jiu Shen.

The two of them were silent for a brief moment, but after a while, Emperor Elyk could no longer help but ask. "Wine Master Jiu, how can I help you? With your strength, you should be able to dominate everyone in this continent, so how can a minor expert like me offer my assistance to you?" His tone was incredibly humble and there was even a tinge of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Jiu Shen.

Jiu Shen remained silent and took out one bottle of Deep Sea Spring Dew and two silver cups from his space earring. After that, he pulled the cork from the bottle causing an aromatic scent to waft out, making the emperor’s nose twitch from time to time.

"Good wine!" The emperor exclaimed while looking at the bottle of wine in Jiu Shen’s hands. He also had a treasured wine in his possession, the Phoenix’s Godly Flames Wine. It was priced at 100 True Crystals by the imperial family and there was only a limited number produced every year. However, the aroma of his treasured wine paled in comparison to the wine in front of him!

Jiu Shen ignored the emperor’s heated look and slowly poured wine on the two silver cups. He then pushed one cup to the emperor and replied. "I want one hundred slaves with ages between thirteen to nineteen, the younger the better."

The emperor’s outstretched arms halted in mid-air when he heard Jiu Shen’s words. Just what was he planning?

Emperor Elyk frowned as he tapped the table with his fingers. Jiu Shen ignored the emperor’s look and calmly drank his wine.

"Wine Master Jiu, it is indeed not a problem for me to gather that amount of slaves to be sent to you, but I’m curious about..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiu Shen gestured for him to stop speaking. "You don’t need to know that, but you have nothing to worry about since I’m not planning to conquer this little empire of yours." Jiu Shen put down his cup and glanced at Emperor Elyk indifferently.

Emperor Elyk sighed and shook his head. "If that’s the case, I will send them to you tomorrow." He muttered in defeat before he drank his wine. The moment it touched his tongue, his eyes lit up and the worries in his heart vanished like a puff of smoke.

"This wine..."
