The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 319 - Drunk Burlock

Chapter 319 - Drunk Burlock

"This... Is it the effect of drinking that wine?" Burlock asked as he glanced at the wine bottle in Jiu Shen's hand. A clear look of excitement surfaced on his face.

He had been training his mace for many years, but even after expending so much effort and time, he failed to achieve Weapon Intent. However, a single cup of wine actually managed to awaken his Weapon Intent!

Looking at his agitated face, Jiu Shen smirked. "This wine is just one of the different kinds of wines I sell. There are still more in the wine storage and there would be more in the future. How about it? Do you want to work for me?"

Burlock hesitated for a moment, but a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes as he replied in a firm tone. "Alright. I agree to your offer, but if I want to leave, you must not stop me."

He was still worried that working for this young man might bring him unnecessary trouble, so he prepared a way out for himself.

'Leave?' Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart after hearing Burlock's answer. He was confident that the demon won't leave once he discovers the secret about the store.

"Good. From now on, you will be a waiter of my store, but before we discuss about your job here, can you tell me more about this demon city?" Jiu Shen said as he handed the bottle of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit to Burlock.

Burlock shamelessly took the wine bottle and immediately poured wine into his cup. He then sat down beside Jiu Shen and replied. "This city is called Morlon City and it is under the jurisdiction of Demon Ancestor Jun, but since he is busy and rarely comes to Morlon City, he left his duties here to the five Demon Lords. I, Burlock, am one of them." He was proud of his strength, but when he recalled that the young man in front of him had overpowered him with just a finger, the smile on Burlock's face crooked.

Hearing his words, Jiu Shen closed his eyes and recalled the map of Nuar in his head. After knowing where Morlon City was located, he opened his eyes.

'The demons are indeed stronger than the other races here. There are already five Nascent G.o.d Realm experts in just one city, and according to Burlock, Morlon City is under the jurisdiction of a Demon Ancestor. There isn't even one expert at that level in the Profound Dragon Continent. The difference in power of the two continents is huge.' Jiu Shen thought to himself.

Seeing that Jiu Shen had remained silent, Burlock focused his attention on his wine. A look of satisfaction can be seen on his face. "Ah... To think that such a delicious wine actually exists..." He muttered after letting out a moan of delight.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiu Shen stood up from his seat and took a glance at the menu located near the reception area.

Wines:

Mystic Jade - 1 Blood Stone

Ables Blanc - 5 Blood Stones

Frozen Origin - 55 Blood Stones

Deep Sea Spring Dew - 120 Blood Stones

Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit- 500 Blood Stones

Dishes: Currently Unavailable

'Although the dishes are still unavailable, we can still open the store since there are a lot of wines stocked in the wine storage. I should let some of those girls work here temporarily. Burlock might be exhausted if he works alone.' Jiu Shen went out of the store and left the dazed Burlock.

"Greetings, master!" The twelve Carnivorous Dragon Koi transformed into their human forms and greeted Jiu Shen respectfully.

Jiu Shen nodded his head at their greeting and he randomly pointed at Blue and two other girls as he said. "You, you, and you. From now, all three of you will work inside the store."

Blue and the two ladies immediately bowed their heads excitedly as they said. "Yes, master! We will work hard!"

For the twelve of them, it was an honor to work for Jiu Shen, so the thought of working inside the store made the three girls jump in joy. The other girls could only glance at them with jealousy.

Seeing the sad expression of the nine girls, Jiu Shen said to them. "Don't be sad. All of you are working for me. How about this... There are a lot of rooms in the bas.e.m.e.nt, so all of you will rest there at night."

Hearing that, the eyes of the girls immediately lit up and they hurriedly thanked Jiu Shen with sweet smiles. "Thank you, master!"

After pacifying them, Jiu Shen turned his gaze to one of the three girls he chose and asked. "What is your name?"

"Master, my name is Blue." The young lady answered. She was the one who discovered the sneaking Burlock last night.

"Blue, from now on, you will be the receptionist of the store. Your job is to greet customers and answer their queries." Jiu Shen explained the nature of her job and Blue listened attentively to him.

"Can you do it?" Jiu Shen asked as he looked at Blue.

The young girl nodded her head confidently and replied with a smile. "Rest a.s.sured, master. I will do my job well!"

"Good. What are your names?" Jiu Shen asked the two girls beside Blue.

"Master my name is Meimei."

"Master, I am Xiaoxiao."

Jiu Shen's eyebrows twitched when he heard the names of the two girls. "The two of you will help Burlock in getting the customers' orders. You must be patient with them, okay? But if they disrespect you, then do as you see fit." He told the ladies.

Meimei and Xiaoxiao nodded their heads eagerly. "Yes, master! Don't worry! We will be good! Hehe."

After delegating their jobs, Jiu Shen went inside the store together with the three girls. Not far away, they saw that the burly demon, Burlock already had his head down on the table. It was obvious that the guy had drunk himself to sleep...
