Chapter 74 - Liu Mengdi Meets The Second Prince

"Welcome to The Immortal’s Wine, dear guests. What would you like to order?" Hestia smiled radiantly as she glanced at the second prince’s group.

She then glanced at the jade pendant that he was wearing for a brief moment before she retracted her sight from it.

The second prince felt his gaze which made him feel a bit nervous. "Ah- where’s the menu, young lady?"

Hestia giggled and pointed in a certain direction as she said. "You can see the prices of our wines in that small blackboard."

The second prince followed the direction she was pointing at and was surprised, but he did not show it outwardly.

"Can you give me an order of Deep Sea Spring Dew and fifteen Frozen Origin for my men?" The second prince said with a smile.

Hestia nodded her head and replied. "Not a problem, dear guest. And, is there anything else you would like to add?"

The second prince shook his head and said. "No, but ah- can I ask you a question, young lady?"

Hestia raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she still replied. "Sure. What is it?"

"Would I have the honor to speak with the owner of this store?" The second prince asked gently.

Hestia had an apologetic look as she replied. "I don’t know about that, dear guest. Our master is usually busy and rarely finds time to talk with someone, but I can notify him about this."

The second prince sighed regretfully while shaking his head. "Sigh. In that case, we will just enjoy the wines here."

The leading soldier escorting the second prince frowned. He was about to stand when he felt the second prince’s stare lingering on him. He sighed inwardly and remained seated on his chair while sullenly looking at Hestia.

Hestia smiled at the glaring officer before she went to the wine storage to get their orders.

While walking to get their wines, Hestia thought to herself. ’I should notify master about the jade pendant.’

Inside the wine storage, Jiu Shen was still busy distributing the Frozen Origin wine liquid inside the display bottles when he saw Hestia going inside.

"Greetings, master." Hestia greeted Jiu Shen while bowing respectfully.

Jiu Shen glanced took a quick glance at her and waved his right hand as he said. "Don’t mind me and just do your work."

"Master, there is someone with that jade pendant. He should be a..."

"I know. I already felt his presence the moment he stepped inside the store. Don’t worry about his identity and just get them their orders. Anyone who steps inside the store is our customers no matter what their identities are. Now go and get their wines." Jiu Shen cut her off from her speech.

"Yes, master." Hestia acknowledged Jiu Shen’s words while giving him a reverential bow.

After pouring out all of the Frozen Origin wine liquid in the display bottles, Jiu Shen stepped out of the wine storage and went to check the dining hall of the store and took a seat in a random corner while listening to everyone’s conversations with his spiritual power.

This was what he does when he is bored.

"Here are your orders. Fifteen Frozen Origin and one Deep Sea Spring Dew. Enjoy." Hestia slowly placed their orders on the table as she spoke.

"Thank you, young lady." The second prince said while giving Hestia a kind smile.

Hestia smiled sweetly at their group and left.

"Isn’t that person the second prince? Why is he here?" Liu Mengdi who was enjoying his wine at a different table was surprised when he saw the second prince’s group.

"Let’s go and pay our respects to him. Although his military strength is weak, he is still an imperial prince and has the blood of the Silveria Imperial Family flowing in his veins. Furthermore, there is something about this man that I could not understand. His group is the weakest among the three eldest sons of the emperor, but my instincts are telling me that this man is dangerous." Liu Mengdi added with a serious look as he stood up from his seat. He was only here with all his trusted subordinates, so he didn’t mind speaking what was on his mind.

The men from the Liu Family were surprised at the high evaluation that their young master gave to the second prince. Their young master might be capricious but he was someone gifted with great intelligence and high talent for cultivation. They treated his words seriously no matter how unbelievable it may be...

Liu Mengdi stopped in front of the second prince’s table and bowed respectfully. "Liu Mengdi from the Liu Family greets His Highness the Second Prince."

Liu Mengdi’s men followed his actions as they spoke in unison. "We greet His Highness the Second Prince."

The second prince had a look of surprise as he glanced at Liu Mengdi and co. They haven’t interacted that much before and only saw each other during special occasions, so the second prince was a bit stunned to see him here.

"Oh, I didn’t think that I would meet the young patriarch of the Liu Family here. Don’t mind me and just continue to enjoy your wines." The second prince spoke cordially.

"Since the second prince has spoken, I will go back to our table. If his highness wishes to speak with me, then just call my name." Liu Mengdi said and was about to go back on their spot when...

"Young Master Liu, wait!"

"What is it, your highness?" Liu Mengdi asked curiously.

"Do you know anything about the Earth Origin Dragon Tree?" The second prince inched closer to Liu Mengdi and asked in a whispering voice.

The latter’s eyed widened at the question. He then glanced to his left and right to see if anyone else heard their discussion. Liu Mengdi then turned to look at Theia who was now eyeing them with a profound look.

"Your highness, if you’re planning to take away the Earth Origin Dragon Tree- you must abandon that plan right away. This store isn’t as simple as seems to be... Troublemakers didn’t have a good ending..." Liu Mengdi whispered hastily. He was already feeling the warm perspiration on his back, but he still warned the second prince with good intentions.

Liu Mengdi had already known the presence of the Earth Origin Dragon Tree inside the store, but he did not dare think of foolishly stealing it. He believed that he would no longer see tomorrow’s sunshine if he really dared to do so.

The second prince saw the fear in Liu Mengdi’s eyes which made him laugh in his heart in contempt, but he still put on a warm smile as he said. "Thank you for your warning, Young Master Liu Mengdi."
