The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 161 - Xia Xinyue's Misunderstanding

The moment Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue stepped inside the Green Wood Pavilion, two rows of scantily dressed maids bowed at them as they spoke in unison. "Welcome, Young Master (Young Miss)."

Xia Xinyue was embarrassed at this reception and she could not help but blush while looking at Jiu Shen's side profile. She wanted to see what his reaction would be while facing these women clad in revealing clothes. Any man would have revealed licentious or lecherous expressions if they encounter a scene such as this, but to her surprise, Jiu Shen appeared to be unmoved even after he looked at the ladies. After looking at the women casually for a moment, he then moved his gaze towards the interior design of the building. He didn't seem to be interested in them even by the slightest bit.

'How come Lord Sect Master isn't attracted to them? Could it be that he doesn't like women?' Xia Xinyue's heart turned cold and she hurriedly erased the thought in her heart.

How could a person like Jiu Shen be attracted to any random woman? Just that, she could still not help but feel worried in her heart since Jiu Shen's reaction was just too unbelievable for a man. There should at least be a little bit of reaction, right?

Xia Xinyue glanced suspiciously at Jiu Shen, and the latter could help but feel perplexed when he saw Xia Xinyue's weird gaze.

However, how could he know what she was thinking? If he knew what was in her mind, he would surely laugh in amusement.

How could he fancy the women of a mortal world? There might be a few peerless beauties here, but were they even comparable to the immortal goddesses of the Primordial God Realm? Surely not.

A woman in her late twenties suddenly walked towards them with a sweet smile plastered on her face. Her exposed and towering bosom trembled as she moved, while her seductive eyes were scanning Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue from head to foot. She was enchanted when she saw Jiu Shen's face and her heart beat faster when their eyes met. 'What a handsome man!' After exclaiming in her heart, her expression recovered her smile.

"Welcome, dear guests! Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Liuli, the proprietress of Green Wood Pavilion. I would assume that you are a couple. You just came at the right time! We still have some unoccupied rooms meant for couples like you guys." Liuli chuckled meaningfully, causing her explosive assets to produce fleshly waves that could make any other man crazy.

Xia Xinyue let out a shy smile when she heard Liuli say 'couple', and she could not help but take a look at Jiu Shen's reaction. However, he remained detached as if he didn't take Liuli's words to his heart. Seeing this, Xia Xinyue's suspicion intensified. 'No! I have to make sure that...that Lord Sect Master is a man...'

Xia Xinyue then looked at Liuli's cleavage that revealed a deep ravine. The latter's chest continuously rose and fell as the latter chuckled to her heart's content.

'This seductress! Hmph!' Xia Xinyue muttered coldly in her heart.

With an impatient look, Xia Xinyue gloomily stared at Liuli's face as she said in a cold voice. "Madam Liuli, please give us one room."

Hearing her words, Jiu Shen wanted to speak, but he decided not to. He knew that it was troublesome to involve himself in the dispute between two women.

When Liuli felt the coldness in Xia Xinyue's tone, she merely smiled as she nodded her head. "No problem, young miss. I will take you two to your room. Please follow me." She then turned around leaving behind a lingering womanly fragrance in the air.

Liuli was wearing a short dress that only covered a tiny portion of her hot figure. Her long legs were partially exposed, giving her a tempting and arousing atmosphere.

Looking at their proprietress leading the pair to their room, the women who greeted Jiu Shen and Xia Xinyue earlier were a bit surprised.

"Who are those two? Madam Liuli is actually leading them personally."

"Didn't you see the man? He looks so dashing. He should be someone with a great background."

"Shhh! Don't let the proprietress hear you guys or she would surely punish you later."

The Green Wood Pavilion has ten floors in total, and Liuli led the pair to the highest floor where only the most luxurious rooms can be found. Xia Xinyue didn't know why Liuli was treating them with this much courtesy, and she had even forgotten that she had asked for a single room for herself and Jiu Shen.

Just then, Xia Xinyue suddenly remembered the rumors about the owner of this establishment. 'Could she be the true owner of this place? If that's the case, how come I did not see anything special about her? According to the rumors, the owner should be an unfathomable expert with a mysterious background. However, aside from her hot figure, this Liuli looks just like an ordinary mortal woman with no cultivation...' Xia Xinyue muttered in her heart as she glanced at Liuli's seductive back figure.

On the other hand, Jiu Shen was looking at Liuli with interest. 'Things are getting interesting. It seems like the hidden experts of the Profound Dragon Continent are slowly gathering in this place. However, what does the Silver Wing Empire possess for it to attract this many top experts? Elyk. Elyk. Elyk. It looks like you're still hiding many things from me...' Jiu Shen muttered to himself.

"Dear guests, this is your room, and here's your key. If you want to order food or something else, just press the alarm button inside the room." Liuli handed a golden key to Xia Xinyue with an alluring smile. She also didn't forget to wink at Jiu Shen provocatively which made Xia Xinyue frown in displeasure.

"Thank you for leading us here, Madam Liuli. You may take your leave now. We can handle everything else on our own." Xia Xinyue blocked Liuli's field of vision as she spoke in a slightly annoyed tone. Liuli's flirtatious advances towards Jiu Shen are getting on her nerves, and she didn't want to give her any more chances.

Liuli chuckled while looking at Xia Xinyue with a provocative smile. She then walked away while intentionally brushing against Jiu Shen's arms.

Liuli's seductive laughter reverberated within the tenth floor of the Green Wood Pavilion, making Xia Xinyue curse the former in her heart.

"Elder Xia, let's go inside." Jiu Shen had just broken through the Nascent God Realm after consuming two Fruits of Cultivation, and he wanted to consolidate his strength before going back to Beltran City.

Like a startled rabbit, Xia Xinyue jumped in surprise as she looked at Jiu Shen's expression. 'I will be staying in one room with Lord Sect Master...' She felt embarrassed when she thought about it which made her cheeks turn a shade redder.

Jiu Shen took the golden key from the stunned Xia Xinyue and with a clicking sound, the door of their room abruptly sprung open, revealing a spacious room with an amorous air. It was indeed a room meant for couples...

Without waiting for Xia Xinyue, Jiu Shen had already stepped inside the room. He wanted to quickly enter into a meditative state and consolidate his newly gained strength. The Fruit of Cultivation didn't disappoint him and he was indeed able to advance to the Nascent God Realm after eating the two fruits. He still had the God Crystals inside his space earring, but he was not in a hurry to further advance his cultivation level. He wanted to stabilize his realm first to prevent unnecessary problems in the future.

There was a king-sized bed in the middle of the room, and it could fit almost ten people at the same time. However, Jiu Shen was not in the mood to admire it, and he quickly jumped onto the bed and sat cross-legged.

Swoosh.

Xia Xinyue was still dumbstruck and she didn't know what she should do in this kind of situation. A man and a woman in one room...it was just too ambiguous, but a determined expression blossomed on Xia Xinyue's face. She wanted to know if Jiu Shen was truly a man...

She then stepped inside the room and locked the door behind her before she walked towards the big bed with a nervous look. She was already forty years of age, but because of her high cultivation level and the countless beauty products she had consumed, Xia Xinyue still had the face of a young woman in her early twenties. In fact, she could still be considered as a young woman in the cultivation world.

Oblivious to her thoughts, Jiu Shen who was sitting cross-legged, sunk deeper in his meditative state as he slowly regulated his breathing while checking the changes in his body.

Jiu Shen's tribulation lightning was too strong this time, but luckily, the system helped him in decreasing the might of the God Exterminating Divine Eye or he would have turned to ashes in merely a second. He was even able to nourish his physical body and soul using the bolts of lightning produced by the God Exterminating Divine Eye.
