The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 324 - Pitiful Helios

"Impudence! I’ll teach you a lesson!"

Helios’ overpowering aura abruptly gushed out as he angrily bellowed. He lifted his right hand and swung it towards Meimei’s cheeks.

"Stop!" Burlock shouted anxiously, but he was already too late. He could only watch as Helios swung his hand towards Meimei.

Helios ignored Burlock’s warning. He was already in a bad mood this morning, and this girl made it even worse. ’Since you dared to insult me, then don’t come crying to me later!’ Helios thought resentfully.

Just as his palm was about to come into contact with Meimei’s cheek, he suddenly felt a burst of pain in his stomach. He felt his strength leaving his body and his outstretched hand abruptly froze in midair as he slowly slumped to the ground.

Helios felt his eyelids growing heavier and before he closed his eyes, he saw Meimei looking at him with a smirk. He was confounded about the sudden turn of events. Just what happened? However, he had already fallen flat to the ground before he could realize what had happened.

After knocking Helios unconscious, Meimei swept her gaze towards the demons standing behind Burlock.

The demons felt their backs covered in a cold sweat when they saw the girl looking at them with a grin. Helios was Burlock’s right-hand man and his strength was only beneath him, but he was actually taken out in a single move by this little girl! If they did not see it, they wouldn’t have believed that it was possible.

"A bunch of trash! Hmph!" Meimei harrumphed derisively after seeing that no one dared to say anything.

Burlock’s face twitched in anger. Helios was his most trusted subordinate and the guy was beaten up by Meimei right in front of him. She even scolded his soldiers even though he was still there.

"Young lady, do you really have to be heavy-handed? You even dare to insult my subordinates in front of my face! Do you think I’m blind and deaf?!" Burlock bellowed indignantly.

Xiaoxiao knew that things would escalate if she did not stop the two, so she immediately stood in between Meimei and Burlock as she said. "Alright, stop it you two. If the master comes back and sees that you are fighting, he might punish you guys. Don’t worry, Big Brother Burlock, your subordinate is only unconscious. Meimei did not use her full strength when she struck him." She then turned her gaze towards Meimei and pulled the latter inside the store.

Looking at the retreating figures of the two girls, Burlock sighed helplessly. He was angry, but what could he do? Just Meimei alone was enough to overpower him, and there were still eleven more of them in this store. It wasn’t a wise idea to confront them. Since the girl had been ’lenient’, he decided to drop the matter.

"My Lord, that girl is too arrogant! She even knocked out the commander. Do you want me to gather the army to raze this place to the ground?" A soldier said with an indignant tone.

Burlock glared at the soldier and smack the back of his head as he said. "Raze your face! Did you not see how strong that girl is?! She is a lot stronger than me and there are still eleven more of them here in this store! Do you think our army is enough to crush them?! We would only be killing ourselves if we do that! Not to mention... I’m already... I’m already a waiter here..."

"Huh?"

"Waiter?"

"What?!"

"My Lord, you mean you’ve become a waiter here?" The soldiers’ doubted their ears when they heard Burlock’s words. Their powerful lord had actually become a waiter? The soldiers felt their heads going numb after hearing that...

"Sigh. Just don’t provoke anyone from this place anymore. Even Demon Ancestor Jun might not be a match to the owner of this store..." Burlock said as he recalled Jiu Shen and his unfathomable might. He had seen Demon Ancestor Jun on many occasions, but after experiencing a crushing defeat in the hands of Jiu Shen, he wasn’t sure whether the old man could match the mysterious young man.

"Stronger than Demon Ancestor Jun?!" The soldiers’ mouths went agape and they felt their hearts growing cold when they heard their lord’s words. They also abandoned the thoughts of seeking revenge. Who would dare to provoke someone who was even stronger than Demon Ancestor Jun? Only an idiot would do so...

"Bring Helios back to the mansion and treat his injuries. Don’t come back here for the time being." Burlock commanded his subordinates.

"Yes, Demon Lord!"

"My Lord, what about you?" One of the soldiers asked after a moment of hesitation.

Burlock glared at him and answered exasperatedly. "I will wait for the owner. Why do you have so many questions?! Scram!"

The soldiers immediately grabbed the unconscious Helios and swiftly went out after being scolded by their lord.

Looking at his running subordinates, Burlock smiled wryly as he shook his head. "Those fools." He muttered.

Swoosh.

"You have good subordinates." A calm voice echoed behind him, almost making Burlock jump in surprise.

He turned around and saw Jiu Shen slowly descending from midair. His white robes was fluttering along with the wind. Burlock almost thought that he was looking at an immortal’s descent when he stared at Jiu Shen’s peerless visage. He was confident in his appearance, but compared to Jiu Shen, he looked no different than rotten sh*t.

"Lord Jiu Shen." He greeted respectfully as he bowed towards the young man. He was already a subordinate of this man when he accepted his offer of becoming a waiter in this store. Although he was slightly reluctant to work for a human, he had no choice. He might be killed if he disobeys him.

"I’m no lord. Just call me Wine Master Jiu Shen." The young man said impassively. There wasn’t even a change in his expression as he uttered those words.

"Yes, Wine Master Jiu Shen." Burlock corrected his words immediately.
