The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 89 - Boss Scars Plan

Chapter 89 - Boss Scar's Plan

"Sect Mistress Lu, who is that woman? How come such an expert is here?" Hu Xiandao asked with a baffled look. He could not fathom how an expert like Theia ended up working in this store as someone’s lackey. Just who was the owner of the store? Isn’t he a bit too kick-ass for taming such a beautiful expert?

Lu Sulan smiled and gestured for Hu Xiandao to sit. "Lord Hu, that young lady right there is Sister Theia and she’s an expert who is even stronger than me. She is now serving as my master’s subordinate and is also a guard of this store."

Hu Xiandao’s eyebrows knitted closely together as he listened to Lu Sulan’s words and he was surprised to find out that she had accepted someone as her master.

After that, he glanced at the chair in front of him with unease, but he still sat on it after seeing Lu Sulan gentle smile.

After carefully sitting on the chair, he could not help but feel surprised that it was actually able to hold his weight. He was, after all, a tall and buff man, so his weight was at least three times heavier than an average man. ’This little thing should be made from a sturdy tree...’ He thought to himself as he gestured for his men to sit beside him.

If he only knew that he was actually sitting on a chair made from a God-rank Sacred Safarwood Tree, what would his reaction be? Perhaps he might even shamelessly sit on it forever...

"Lord Hu, if you want to order anything, you can choose which one to buy from that blackboard right there." Lu Sulan pointed at the inconspicuous-looking blackboard in one corner of the store.

Hu Xiandao and his men followed the direction she was pointing and when their gazes locked onto the price list, they could not help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

Although their Mythos Wildlands was also a strong power within the Profound Dragon Continent, but their wealth isn’t really that much. Since almost all of their people were mostly body enhancers, they rarely used true crystals for cultivation because the tonics they use to increase their cultivation speed are savage beasts’ blood.

True crystals might be capable of helping them in strengthening their bodies, but the upgrade in strength is much lesser compared to using savage beasts’ blood. Furthermore, true crystal is a rare resource that can only be found in True Crystal Mines. On the other hand, they can just hunt for savage beasts any time they want and extract their blood to use as a tonic.

"Am I seeing things wrongly? Brothers, can you confirm the prices for me? I think I might have read Silver Coins as True Crystals." Hu Xiandao said while looking at his men with a dumbfounded look.

The other four barbarians acted as if they didn’t hear his words and continued to stare at the blackboard with unblinking eyes.

Lu Sulan smiled after seeing how they acted. They couldn’t be blamed either since her master’s wines were just too precious that ordinary people could not afford to buy them. Only the wealthy and the strong could purchase and taste Wine Master Jiu’s wines.

"Lord Hu, if you didn’t bring enough True Crystals with you, then please allow me to treat you guys. You can choose anything you like and I’ll pay it for you." Lu Sulan said generously.

Hu Xiandao glanced at Lu Sulan with a sheepish smile and was about to tactfully decline her offer when one of the young barbarians behind him spoke eagerly. "Sect Mistress Lu, we thank you on behalf of Lord Hu! Hehe."

"Come on, Lord Hu! Sect Mistress Lu means well, so why don’t you just accept her offer?" The other young barbarian nudged Hu Xiandao with a mischievous smile on his face.

Hu Xiandao glared at the two young barbarians but they merely chuckled, completely unafraid of him.

In all honesty, they were already beaten many times by Hu Xiandao that they were no longer afraid of getting his aggro. Furthermore, how could they pass up such a rare opportunity of poking fun at him?

Hu Xiandao’s expression turned a hundred eighty degree turn when he glanced at Lu Sulan. He then put on a forced smile and said. "If that’s the case, then we shall humbly accept Sect Mistress Lu’s grace."

Lu Sulan smiled and waited for them to choose their wines. There are not that many customers anyway, so she could still wait for them patiently.

Hestia was still recuperating, so Lu Sulan was the only waitress for today.

The customers were slightly disappointed at the outcome of things. They really want to see some action today, but who knew that those barbarians were actually acquaintances of Young Miss Lu. Furthermore, they were also impressed by Hu Xiandao’s bravery when they listened to Lu Sulan’s story.

"To think that those fearsome-looking guys are actually amiable. You can’t really judge a book by its cover. Sigh! I’m ashamed to have judged that guy wrongly." Boss Scar shook his head and sighed.

His mercenary brothers nodded their heads in agreement as they looked at Hu Xiandao and the other barbarians with a look of respect.

"Boss, I can sense that something bad is about to happen to our Silver Wing Empire in the coming days. I don’t want to say it, but we are too weak to be involved in this turmoil. And even if we join, then we might only serve as cannon fodder." Liu Xiufeng spoke self-mockingly... He was someone from the Liu Family and he still had some connections with them, so he was quite knowledgeable about the current state of things in their empire.

Boss Scar wanted to rebuke him when he heard those words, but he could not really find fault in what Liu Xiufeng said.

"Sigh! Brother Liu is right, so I suggest we brothers accept that mission and train ourselves along the way." Boss Scar said after a moment of thought.

Liu Xiufeng and the others glanced at Boss Scar with surprise.

"Boss Scar, do you mean that cave exploration mission posted just recently?" Liu Xiufeng asked excitedly.

Boss Scar smiled and nodded his head. "Yes. It might be dangerous, but I know that us brothers will be able to come out of that cave safely since we’ve already improved so much after drinking Wine Master Jiu’s wines."

Liu Xiufeng and the other mercenaries nodded their heads with shining eyes.
