The tavern was instantly thrown into a frenzy of activity.
The group was so busy that they didn't even have a chance to drink a sip of water.
Ji Jiuying waved her hand, signaling Qingling to play another piece.
That's right, the one on stage is Qingling. The music she just played carried a healing quality. Ji Jiuying wanted to see how well she had practiced the Illusionary Sea Sound.
It looks pretty good.
She was initially a little timid, but after playing the song, it wasn't so scary anymore.
After receiving Ji Jiuying's signal, Qingling began playing another piece of music.
She took a light breath and gently plucked the strings with her jade-like fingers. Compared to the previous piece, this one was much softer.
The music grew softer and more captivating, its gentle sound like a butterfly about to take flight, fluttering its graceful wings... The sound, like a babbling brook, was mesmerizing, drawing the listener into a dreamlike trap, making them unconsciously intoxicated by it.
This sound was not of this world. Even after the song ended, the music continued to echo, and everyone was still reluctant to leave.
"The Second Prince has arrived!"
A voice announced something from outside the door.
Upon hearing this, the onlookers quickly made way for them.
"Hmph~ Even the Second Prince can't cut in line, can he?" a middle-aged man said.
"Please don't misunderstand, everyone! I'm a friend of the boss, and I'm just here to congratulate him and give him a gift."
Upon hearing this, everyone noticed that two guards behind them were carrying a large box.
Ji Jiuying also noticed Jun Lintian at the door and hurriedly went to greet him, "Second Prince, what brings you here?"
"Hmph~ You still have the nerve to say that? Such a big event as the opening of the business didn't even bother to inform me beforehand. If my mother hadn't told me, I would still be completely in the dark!" Jun Lintian feigned anger and snorted coldly.
Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes slightly; she had never mentioned this matter to the Empress!
"Our small winery doesn't want to trouble everyone with such a big fuss."
"Alright, alright, you're in charge." Jun Lintian waved his hand, signaling the guards behind him to bring in the box.
"What is this?" Ji Jiuying asked.
Jun Lintian lifted the lid, revealing a whole box of crystal goblets.
Glass cups are quite expensive, and usually only princes and nobles use them. I didn't expect the Second Prince to give away a whole box of them. Does this mean that from now on, everyone can use glass cups when they come to Sanqianzui to drink?
Everyone crowded around to take a look. This second prince was really too extravagant. No wonder he was from the palace.
"This is what my mother asked me to send to you," Jun Lintian whispered in Ji Jiuying's ear.
Ji Jiuying nodded; she had guessed it too.
"Pack me a few jugs of the fine wine you bought, and I'll forgive you this time."
"Of course, no problem. I'll also bring some for the Empress as a return gift to thank her for the glass cups," Ji Jiuying said with a smile.
Jun Lintian nodded in satisfaction.
The tavern was so crowded that some people got impatient and bought drinks to take away.
Qingling and Wenlongxiu were too busy to keep up with the cashier and accounting at the counter. Seeing this, Jun Lintian volunteered to help. With Jun Lintian's help, Qingling and Wenlongxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Longting packed the drinks, Fatty and Da Niu were in charge of getting the alcohol, and Yingyue was in charge of keeping watch at the door.
Qiuyue, Shuanghua, and Yaya were responsible for cleaning up and tidying up the empty wine bottles left by the guests.
The three of them never expected that their first day working at the princess's mansion would be helping out at the princess's tavern.
At that moment, a commotion broke out inside the tavern.
"Huh! Am I about to advance?" A man was shocked for a moment, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. He had been stuck at the bottleneck for more than two months, unable to advance no matter what he did.
I drank a few bottles of wine on a whim, but I never expected that drinking this spirit fruit wine would actually help me advance in rank.
Seeing this, Ji Jiuying instructed Da Niu to take the man away from the crowd and let him advance in the pavilion.
The attic is designed to be transparent, so that when someone is advancing in rank, everyone can see it without disturbing the person.
The man sat cross-legged on the couch, channeling his spiritual energy and slowly refining the spiritual energy within his body into spiritual power.
Everyone stared wide-eyed and gasped.
"Although this wine can help the body automatically gather spiritual energy, it shouldn't advance in level so quickly, right?"
Could this person be a shill?
"Oh, you don't know this, do you? The person upstairs is from my hometown. He's been stuck at a bottleneck for more than two months."
So, does this wine, when consumed regularly, refresh the mind and gather spiritual energy, and when one reaches a plateau, help to quickly advance in levels?
Everyone immediately had other ideas.
Just then, another man advanced, and then three or four more...
Everyone was astonished and had no choice but to believe that the wine really had such effects.
After most of the day, the group was starving, but the tavern was still bustling with activity.
Ji Jiuying entered the back warehouse and placed all the spirit fruit wine from the space on the ground.
At that moment, there was a ripple in the air, and a large hand scooped up Ji Jiuying and disappeared from the spot.
"ah--"
Ji Jiuying screamed in surprise.
Yingyue and Feihu arrived at the warehouse at the same time, but Ji Jiuying was nowhere to be seen. The two stared at each other in shock.
Wen Longxiu and the others also noticed something and put down their work to go to the back warehouse.
"Where is Xiao Jiu?"
Where is Miss?
"We've been kidnapped!" Flying Tiger replied.
The group looked at Fei Hu warily. None of them recognized the man who had appeared out of nowhere until Qing Ling came out to explain that he was Jiu Xiao Jiu's bodyguard.
"Who could have kidnapped the young lady?" The group was filled with worry.
At that moment, Yingyue noticed a faint, familiar scent lingering in the air. Could it be her master?
But according to his understanding, the master would not kidnap the mistress for no reason in this situation, so there is only one possibility: something has happened!
If it really is the owner, then they would definitely have left some clues.
Yingyue lowered his head, deep in thought, while the others looked at him in confusion. Finally, they discovered a signal left by the owner on a pot of wine.
Yingyue breathed a sigh of relief. "Go back to work, everyone. The master took her away. He must have something important to take care of. Don't worry."
The group breathed a sigh of relief. They were terrified. Since it was the Imperial Advisor who took Xiao Jiu away, there was indeed nothing to worry about.
Ji Jiuying and Gong Mingyue flashed onto the back of the fire unicorn in the air.
Just as Ji Jiuying was about to take out the Black Night, she smelled the familiar scent. Ji Jiuying almost cursed out loud, "Gong Mingyue, you really scared the hell out of me!"
She didn't even have time to react to what just happened. Ah Xiu and the others must be worried sick right now!
"Little Jiu'er, this is an emergency. I need you to save someone. Don't worry, I've left a signal for Yingyue," Gong Mingyue said directly.
Ji Jiuying then noticed the cold aura emanating from him.
"Is it poisoning? Or injury?"
"Yes, we have them all!"
