The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 15
Advertisement
Jiu Shen glared at the entrance of his store. The door slowly opened, and a graceful and lithe silhouette stepped inside the store. She was wearing light body armor that covered her upper body. A short battle skirt covered a small portion of her lower body. Her long and seductive legs were also in full display.
Jiu Shen was confused since he did not feel any hostility from the woman. Instead, she was looking at him with a face full of reverence.
Her medium-length blonde hair that reached her shoulders cascaded down elegantly as she bowed her head respectfully towards Jiu Shen. "Greetings, master."
"What the hell? System, don't play with me. You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Jiu Shen spoke inside his head in an exasperated tone.
- Ding!
- Host, as the future Unrivaled Wine God, you need a sharp blade to continue making the best wines in the multiverse peacefully.
"You mean my sharp blade is this little beauty who only has the strength of a 9th-rank Saint expert?" Jiu Shen rolled his eyes inwardly, but he did not say it out loud or it may hurt the feelings of the woman.
The system remained silent as if it was disinclined to explain things to Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen beckoned the beauty with his hand and gestured her to come close. "What's your name?"
The blonde beauty bowed her head lightly and said. "Master, your servant's name is Theia."
'Two, galaxy-toppling beauties appeared in a single night in my little store. Now, where can I sleep without affecting my Heart Realm?' Jiu Shen sighed sorrowfully.
The Heart Realm that he mentioned was the special realm of a cultivator's martial heart. It's not something literal, but something intangible. The greater your attainments in the Heart Realm, the faster your cultivation speed will be.

There are four Heart Realms: the first realm; Heart Like Mirror, the second realm; Heart as Gentle as Water, the third realm; Heart Unmoved Like Mountain, the fourth realm; Heartless Void.
Even in his past life when he was still a top expert in the Primordial God Realm, he only trained his Heart Realm until the third realm, Heart Unmoved Like Mountain.
Since the creation of the universe, only three people managed to reach the fourth Heart Realm, Heartless Void. Those three experts were now the three Celestial Emperors of the vast multiverse. They governed the laws of the multiverse and maintain its peace and order for countless eons. Of course, one of them was the one who killed Jiu Shen...
Back to the story...
Theia was still standing respectfully in front of Jiu Shen. She was looking at him as if he was God.
"Come with me. You will sleep in my room with Hestia." Jiu Shen forced out a stiff smile on his face.
Jiu Shen didn't know that the system already built two more rooms for Hestia and Theia, so he thought that there was only one room in the second floor.
"As you say, master." Theia bowed her head reverently.
Jiu Shen brought Theia towards his room on the second floor of his store. And just as he was about to go inside his room, he saw two more additional rooms. 'At least the system is considerate enough to make new rooms for these two beauties...'
He sighed in relief and randomly pointed a room for Theia. "You will be staying in that room. Starting tomorrow, you will maintain the order and safety of our store. And... you should rest for now."
"Yes, master." Theia bowed her head gently. She only went inside her room after Jiu Shen left.

The latter went inside his room and sighed in relief after not seeing Hestia. "She might be in the other room."

The next day, Jiu Shen went down after taking a shower and wearing clothes. He was surprised to see that both the two beauties were already there waiting for him with smiles on their faces.
Jiu Shen nodded his head at them calmly. He then went inside the wine storage area with an expectant look on his face. "I wonder how the Deep Sea Spring Dew would taste like."
He grabbed one bottle of the new wine before he went out of the wine storage area. The moment he came out, two beautiful pairs of eyes glanced at him curiously.
Jiu Shen smiled and sat on a chair after placing the wine on the table. "Come here you two. You will also be my wine tasters from now on." He gestured the two ladies to sit beside him.
They revealed happy smiles and the both of them eagerly went towards Jiu Shen. They sat on each of his side and looked at him with round eyes.
Jiu Shen opened the wine bottle, causing a dense and fragrant aroma to invade their nostrils. They closed their eyes in satisfaction while inhaling the sweet scent of the wine.
"This wine smells so good. Master, did you make this wine?" Hestia blinked her eyes curiously while looking at Jiu Shen.
The latter nodded his head and said. "Yes, I was the one who made this wine. Now, let's all give it a taste."
He then tilted the wine bottle and a golden liquid flowed gently down towards the three small cups. The golden liquid emitted a brilliant luster, surprising the three of them.
'A wine that shines like gold? Even that whatever Phoenix blabla wine of the emperor should not be this exaggerated, right?' Jiu Shen thought silently to himself. He was quite pleased with himself since he was the one who made the wine with the system's help.
He then distributed the two cups of wine to the beauties. They were already drooling at the sight of it.
They held the cups gently as if it was a cup filled with natural treasures. They then gave their cups a light sip, and their eyes shone with a dazzling glow after the golden liquid touched their lips.
Jiu Shen smiled after seeing the looks in their faces. He glanced at the golden liquid in his cup and drank a small mouthful of it.
His mouth felt like it exploded after the wine touched his tongue. He closed his eyes and savored the sweet aftertaste of the Deep Sea Dew. The biting spiciness of the 6th-rank beast's blood can also be felt subtly.
"Ho! It's actually able to slightly stimulate the true essence of a 9th-rank Saint like me? Those old experts would surely come after knowing the effects of this wine. Hehe!"

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
