The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 318

"What do you want from me? With your strength, you could have killed me, but instead of doing that, you healed my broken arms and allowed me to rest in your place. What is your intention?" Burlock furrowed his eyebrows as he glanced deeply at Jiu Shen. He tried to read the young man's expression, but all he saw was his indifferent look.
Just what was this guy up to.
Burlock knew that he had damaged the meridians of his arms severely last night, but when he woke earlier, his arms had magically been healed! He did not know how the other party did it. Even if he used the medicines and pills inside his space ring, he knew that it would take him a few days to fully recover, but it only took Jiu Shen a night to heal him completely. Or was he unconscious for several days?
"My store is lacking a few waiters and waitresses. I think you are perfect for the job." Jiu Shen said as he placed one of his legs on top of the other. His relaxed expression made Burlock recall the events last night.
"You want to hire me as a waiter?! Are you out of your damned mind?!" Burlock blurted out unconsciously, but when he realized his mistake, he hurriedly covered his mouth in fear. He then glanced at Jiu Shen nervously, and when he saw the unchanging expression of the latter, Burlock heaved a sigh of relief.
"What are you even selling here? You're not selling prohibited items, are you?" Burlock asked suspiciously. He might be a Demon Lord, but he did not have the guts to sell products prohibited by the Demon Race's upper echelons.
Jiu Shen shook his head and replied. "You think too much. I only sell wines and maybe a few dishes. What do you think?"

"Wines and a few dishes?" Burlock thought that something was wrong with his ears, but when he saw Jiu Shen's calm look, he realized that the man was serious.
'A great expert like you is actually selling wines and dishes? Are you kidding me?' Burlock's mouth twitched, but he did not decline Jiu Shen's offer right away. This human was able to subdue him with just a finger and with that strength, even a Demon Ancestor might not be his match. Following such an expert was not a bad idea, but if news about him serving a human would spread, it would definitely tarnish his reputation. Aside from that, his kin might even turn hostile against him.
Burlock was in a dilemma. No matter which choice he makes, there would be danger following behind it.
Seeing the demon's difficult expression, Jiu Shen took out a bottle of wine filled with scarlet liquid. This was the unique wine of this branch store, the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit. After taking out the bottle of wine, Jiu Shen beckoned the demon. "Before you make a decision, have a taste of this." He said as he poured wine on a large silver cup. When Jiu Shen noticed that the silver cup was half full, he gave it to Burlock who had a weird expression.
Demons have significantly stronger physical bodies than humans and their ability to consume energy is also much better. It would not be a problem for them to consume a lot of Jiu Shen's wines.
'Do you really have to be so serious when pouring wine? Whatever. Let me have a taste of this wine.' Burlock thought in his heart as he took the silver cup from Jiu Shen's hand.
He was not a wine drinker and he even hated the taste of wine, but since this expert is not giving him room to decline, he might as well try it out. It's just a cup of wine anyway, what's the big deal?

Looking at the scarlet liquid, he almost threw the cup, but a mysterious fragrance suddenly entered his nostrils. "This..."
Without hesitation, he gulped the wine in one go and closed his eyes. Not long later, his eyes suddenly sprung open as he exclaimed in a loud voice. "Delicious!"
Burlock regretted drinking the wine in one go. He could still recall the diverse flavors that exploded in his mouth when he drank the wine. It was soul-stirring and he could even feel that his physical body was slowly becoming sturdier! A cup of wine could actually induce such an effect!
Burlock glanced at Jiu Shen with an eager look as he extended the empty cup to the latter. Even though he wasn't saying anything, Jiu Shen knew what the guy was thinking.
"What do you think about my Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit?" Jiu Shen's lips tilted upwards as he stared at the pleading look of the demon.
"Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit? That's a nice name! It's the most delicious wine I have tasted in my life and all the wines taste like trash compared to it! It can even enhance my physical strength by a tiny margin! Although the increase in my strength is only minimal, if this wine is consumed daily, the resulting increase in strength would be substantial." Burlock answered truthfully.
Hearing the demon's answer, Jiu Shen leaned on his chair and said. "You are right, but you've forgotten one thing."
"Forgot one thing?" Burlock was confused.
Jiu Shen did not make him wait for long and answered. "Take out your weapon and try brandishing it."
When Burlock heard Jiu Shen's words, he became even more perplexed, but he still took out a large mace from his space ring and wave it casually. However, he suddenly noticed that something was different about his movements.
"This is... Weapon Intent?! How could this be?!" Burlock cried out in surprise. He knew that he was still far from reaching the level of Weapon Intent, so when he sensed it behind the casual movement of his mace, he was utterly dumbfounded.
Burlock waved his mace a few more times and this time, he was certain that he had indeed comprehended Weapon Intent.
"It is indeed Weapon Intent, but how? Could it be..." Burlock lifted his head and stared at the bottle of wine in Jiu Shen's hand. An absurd thought surfaced in his head.

Tellus Stirs (Previously Earth AA)
The year is 2030. Earth is dying. War, pandemics, overwhelming pollution, species going extinct, climate change, etc. The so-called human race has brought more harm to their planet due to greed; their increased energy needs were on a path of decadence even with their increased technological advancements. Tactical Nukes were already used in conflicted zones in the fight for resources. The conclusion was a deep and frightening hum unleashed deep within the earth, heard by every living creature, and with it, civilization has ended. Those who survived wished they were slain along with their loved ones as the dead didn't have to endure what came after. Others took the opportunity to gain unimaginable power and prestige as a new age began. Chaos reigned as per the prophecies foretold in the past. Those who did not believe knew the signs were actual; these prophecies were no longer popular folk tales. Such titles, the Breaking, the Rapture, the Malhama, and many others, came at a high cost. After all, every city or densely populated area had been hit with natural disasters that encompassed tsunamis, Earthquakes, Firestorms, Typhoons, and hurricanes. Power, food, infrastructure. All of it was gone and what came after was worse as humans were no longer top of the food chain. Yet the imminent destruction of the 21st century re-opened a veil that had kept the world safe from hidden dangers, or maybe it was the other way around. Time will tell. In our story, the Protagonist rises from the ashes of the apocalypse. A desert child soldier nurtured by tragedy and death looking for an escape to fill the void in his heart. By chance, in his hand, he held a blade with immense possibilities.
