Chapter 511: Courageous Ice
"Lord Berith, what should we do now that we've ascertained that Jian Wang is the man behind this wine store?" Domas transmitted a message to Berith.
The wine store seemed to be connected with the remnants of the God Sword Region, an old enemy of the Dark Devil Race. If they make a move on the God Sword Region, the wine store might intervene. They didn't want to offend the wine store especially after seeing Jian Wang's presence here.
Berith shook his head as he replied. "This matter has already exceeded our scope of power. The only thing we can do is report this to Celestial Emperor Lao Gou. Only Celestial Emperor Lao Gou would have the ability to stand against Jian Wang."
Domas nodded his head in understanding. They might be top experts among the Heavenly God Realm cultivators, but there was a wide chasm that separated them from the Celestial God Realm experts! The three Celestial Emperors were like an insurmountable mountain that they could only look up to.
Meanwhile, Ice suddenly felt bored, so she decided to have quick look at the garden outside the dragon building. Looking at the high-rank spiritual plants might be her only solace before she returns to the cultivation hall.
Ice jumped down from her chair and walked towards the exit. However, she suddenly stumbled when she accidentally stepped on someone's foot.
Ice expertly did a front flip to prevent herself from falling face-first. After managing to stand on her feet, she immediately glared at the man who almost made her fall. She pointed at the man's face as she hollered. "Why are you blocking the way with your dirty foot?!"
Nothing good happened to her today and she has been in a bad mood since a while ago. Now, someone almost caused her to fall head-first on the floor! What a bad day!
Berith who was at the receiving end of her furious shout frowned. Since when did he experience this kind of treatment? If not for Jian Wang's presence deterring him from making a move, he would have already killed this annoying brat!
Berith could only gnash his teeth as he glared at Ice with dense killing intent. Since he couldn't make a move, he might as well punish this little brat by scaring her out of her wits! She could only blame her impudence!
Ice felt her body turn cold after sensing the sharp killing intent of Berith. She finally realized that this man was no ordinary expert!
Jian Wang glanced at the scene with interest.
Furion was about to intervene, but a hand firmly grabbed his shoulder and prevented him from standing. He turned his gaze and saw Jian Wang shaking his head as he whispered. "You want to see the owner, right? This is your only chance to see him. If that girl is truly connected with the owner, he would surely come down to protect this young lady. Let's just wait and see."
Jian Wang's words made sense so Furion nodded his head in agreement. Nonetheless, he still positioned himself in a way that he could prevent Berith from harming the little girl.
The other customers also noticed the commotion. Initially, they also wanted to intervene, but the overwhelming aura of a peak stage Heavenly God Realm coming from Berith caused them to back down. In the end, they could only pray for the little girl's safety.
Ice felt her knees going soft as Berith coldly glanced at her. She felt as if thousands of knives were piercing her body!
The eyes of the young waitresses suddenly flashed with a fierce glint after witnessing the scene. This little girl was their Sect Master's beloved Young Miss Ice whom he treated as his little sister. Aside from that, she is also a Protector of their Heavenly Sword Tower. Seeing her being treated like this made the young waitresses angry.
"Guest, please don't cause trouble inside the store." A young waitress stepped forward and glanced at Berith with a hint of nervousness. This man was a Heavenly God Realm expert. Just one move from him was enough to kill her many times over! How could she not be nervous while facing such an existence?
Ice who was feeling anxious earlier slowly calmed herself. They were inside the wine store and she knew that nothing would happen to them as long as they were inside.
Now that she had regained her courage, Ice gently pushed the young waitress to the side and pointed her finger at Berith as she said in a contemptuous voice. "You think I'm afraid of you? I'll stand here and do nothing. Come on! Attack me!"
Berith's face twitched when he saw the cunning smile of the little girl. He could barely contain his anger at this point. A weak fledgling actually dared to humiliate him in front of many people?
"Girl, watch what you say!" He muttered through gritted teeth.
Inside the cultivation hall, the eyes of Jiu Shen suddenly snapped open.
"Someone is causing trouble? Atlas check the situation below and kick out those people who are causing trouble." Jiu Shen said in a calm voice.
The old man, Atlas, immediately answered. "Yes, master." He then stood up and hurriedly went downstairs to check what was happening.
"The little tiger isn't here... The moment she came out, she is already causing trouble... It looks like I have to punish that little brat to make her more obedient..." There wasn't a hint of anger in his voice, only amusement.
After muttering those words, he gently closed his eyes and resumed his cultivation. With so many Protective Array Formations inscribed all over the dragon building, Jiu Shen wasn't the least bit worried about Ice's safety. And with Atlas overseeing things, he has nothing to worry about.

Atlas came down with his cane in hand. After arriving downstairs, he saw the face-off between Ice and a member of the Dark Devil Race. He frowned after sensing the strength of the man.
"Peak stage Heavenly God Realm? Young Miss Ice is truly courageous. No wonder the master treats her highly." The old man muttered.
