CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 172 LIQUOR STORE_1

Hu Hui ran away.

Wang and the others seemed to have forgotten about Hu Hui as they casually strolled around.

At first, Si Yan was a bit worried about Hu Hui, but after passing by several beastmen and overhearing a snippet of their conversation, Hu Hui slipped from her mind entirely.

One person whispered as if revealing a shocking secret, "Did you hear? A food shop in the west market is selling the last jar of wine; it takes three Green Insect Crystals for a bowl!"

Another person was shocked after hearing this, exclaiming in disbelief, "Wine? What are you talking about? Are you sure it’s wine??"

"Yes. Ever since the last brewmaster died, there have been no more brewmasters in this world. That jar might just be the last one in existence!!"

"Gods, are you serious?? Wait for me, I’m going to gather Insect Crystals; I must buy wine now!!"

Three Green Crystals for a bowl of wine?

After hearing this, Si Yan turned to the males behind her and asked, "Do any of you have Green Insect Crystals? Just three will do?"

Tai Seng swished his tail and asked, "Si Yan, do you want that wine?"

Si Yan nodded, "Yes, I want the wine. Just a bowl would be fine."

She wanted the wine of this world, for only with something to compare to could she know if the wine she brewed was any good.

All the males present were Red Crystal beastmen, and even though they didn’t usually save up Insect Crystals, they could still scrape together three.

The group headed to the rumored west market and saw it crowded with people surrounding the food shop.

Si Yan asked one of the beastmen in confusion, "Why don’t you go buy the wine?"

The beastman, initially very irritated at being disturbed, turned around and, upon seeing such a stunningly beautiful female like Si Yan, immediately blushed.

"We... we just don’t have any Insect Crystals... ah no, they don’t have any, I haven’t gone hunting yet..."

Si Yan understood and crossed her arms, looking towards the inside of the food shop.

This food shop wasn’t very large, selling meats, fruits, and such. Nothing really out of the ordinary.

But Si Yan was extremely curious about that jar of wine.

Tai Seng went to exchange three Insect Crystals for wine. Because it was so crowded, Si Yan followed along, waiting for a while before Tai Seng carefully brought over the wine.

The surrounding males looked towards Si Yan.

"Hey, what’s a female doing drinking wine?"

"Seeing how beautiful she is, she must be a capricious female."

"Gods, I heard the taste of wine is incredibly enchanting. It can make one dizzy. And a female gets a bowl of it, just like that."

"I want some too, but I don’t have Insect Crystals. That female has so many Red Crystal males with her. She’s too lucky."

"But it’s such a waste to give wine to a female. That spicy stuff, I bet she’ll spit it out after the first sip and then throw away the bowl along with it."

"That would be such a waste..."

But Tai Seng and the others didn’t think it was a waste.

This was Si Yan after all, the Lady of the Lord.

If she wanted to throw it away, even if it were thirty or three hundred Insect Crystals, they would still get it for her.

Si Yan got the wine and sniffed it.

It indeed had the smell of alcohol, but it didn’t seem to be very high in alcohol content.

She carefully examined the color, which was murky and didn’t appear to be a very good wine.

Then, she simply brought it to her lips and took a small sip.

"PTOOEY!!!" she immediately spat it out.

"What’s wrong?" Wang asked, leaning in, his eyes revealing his concern.

Si Yan waved her hand, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing. It’s just too horrible to drink."

The unfamiliar males watching nearby looked on regretfully as she spat out the wine.

Such a waste!!!!

Too much of a waste AHHH!!!

Why would they give such a precious thing as wine to a female!!

Si Yan ignored the reactions of the others. She looked down at the wine in her bowl.

It was also a wine brewed from grain.

But its color, aroma, and taste were all very inferior.

Is this thing also worth three Green Insect Crystals?

She wouldn’t drink it even if it were free.

She threw the bowl away, and the wine splashed all over the ground.

This action made the surrounding male onlookers even more regretful and angry.

A female, a capricious and wasteful female!!!

This might be one of the last bowls of wine in the world!!!

How could she waste it like this!!!

Si Yan, however, didn’t care at all. She looked up with a smile at Wang Dao and said, "Great Demon King, let’s go."

"Hmm."

After Si Yan left the crowd, she asked the others, "If I also want to open a shop in Myriad Beasts City, how should I go about it?"

She Ying replied, "There are quite a few rules in Myriad Beasts City. To open a shop here, you need to go through the formalities to rent a shop. Lady, are you thinking of opening a shop?"

Si Yan nodded her head, "I’m thinking of opening a tavern."

"A tavern??" Yin Hong exclaimed in surprise. "Si Yan, do you also know how to brew alcohol?!"

Yin Hong remembered his mother telling him that Si Yan was definitely not simple, and might well be a sage.

Although he had agreed with his mother’s words at that time, he was still very shocked now.

The world’s last brewmaster had already died.

This was something everyone knew about.

If a new brewmaster were to appear now, what a sensational piece of news that would be!

Si Yan nodded, her eyes curving into a smile as she said, "Yes, I know how to brew a little rice wine, but I don’t know how to make other kinds of alcohol."

"Rice wine??"

Although they had never heard of rice wine, they still felt it was very impressive.

Yin Hong immediately said, "I’ve been to Myriad Beasts City a few times before; I know how to handle this. Wait a moment, I will go rent a good location for a food shop."

While Yin Hong was dealing with the formalities, Si Yan had Tai Seng go into Myriad Beasts City to look for Xi Qing and Bei Ji.

As long as Xi Qing and Bei Ji were in Myriad Beasts City, she believed that with Tai Seng’s sense of smell, he could find them.

"Si Yan!" Yin Hong came back after completing the procedures. "I didn’t rent the shop, I bought it!"

Si Yan was curious, "How did you buy it?"

Yin Hong explained, "When they heard we were from the Delusional Domain, they were reluctant to rent to us. They said that after we used it, it would be hard for them to continue renting it out. So, I had no choice but to pay several times the price to buy the shop."

Si Yan took the property wooden plaque handed over by Yin Hong and looked at it. After confirming there were no issues, she went with the group of Beastmen to the location marked on the wooden plaque.

...It was in a very remote corner, the most peripheral and secluded location in Myriad Beasts City.

Looking at the dilapidated shop before them, no one knew what to say for a moment.

She Ying, face pale, let out a sigh, "The reputation of the Beastmen from the Delusional Domain is too bad, so Myriad Beasts City only gave us such a shop."

The location was poor, the shop was broken, and it was leaky everywhere.

Si Yan looked at the shop before her and chuckled, "No problem, we’ve experienced starting from scratch before. Besides, since there’s nothing in this shop, we might as well tear it down completely and rebuild."

The males looked at Si Yan and asked, "Lady, what are your plans?"

Si Yan thought for a moment, took a tree branch, and started drawing on the ground.

Before long, a two-story wooden structure took shape under Si Yan’s hands.

Si Yan said, "I’m going to need you to work hard and bring over some wood. I will draw out how each log should be cut. We’ll process the logs together, and then I’ll tell you how to build it."

"Okay!"

Without a second word, the males went up the mountain to cut wood.

Si Yan looked at the little house she had drawn, occasionally adding a few strokes.

This is the door, this is the window, the second floor will have a corridor here, this is a door, this is a room. And underneath, we also need to dig a cellar to store the wine.
