Even though he could eat whatever he wanted inside the palace with so many chefs there to cook whatever he could possibly want, Jian Shen wanted to learn more about the state of the Winter Jade Empire and therefore chose to find a decent tavern to dine at.

Without needing to walk too far, Jian Shen after taking one look at the first tavern he saw chose to enter it.

Pa.s.sing through the doors of the huge tavern which was s.h.i.+ning brightly like a firefly in the dark despite the entire city being lit up, Jian Shen was quickly welcomed by the man and woman who stood at both sides of the entrance.

But once they saw who it was, the handsome tiger man went back to his same place as the mature human woman walked closer to Jian Shen.

Gently running her hands-on Jian Shen's clothes which she identified as being very costly and valuable for sure, the woman asked, "Which one of our private rooms do you want, master?"

Walking forward while slowly pulling Jian Shen with her, the woman felt very excited and hoped for this obviously rich guest she found to select the best room they had.

After all, for someone as rich as him it wouldn't be a big deal to spend a small fortune on something he'd be able to enjoy for the night.

Therefore, to try and make him select their best room the woman who was dressed in tight and revealing clothes pressed her b.r.e.a.s.t.s against Jian Shen's arm.

"You are very lucky that our best room hasn't been booked today, master. It is usually always booked even before we officially open our doors."

Nodding his head, Jian Shen didn't think that the woman was exaggerating and rather believed that her words might be true.

And while her words were actually true, Jian Shen still didn't feel the slightest bit interested in entering one of the private rooms inside this tavern.

After all, he did come here to listen to the common people and find out about what was happening inside the Empire, and the entire Divine Realm for that topic.

"No thanks. Just get me a table."

Stunned from never having failed to make any guest book a probate room until now, the woman took a few seconds to come back to her senses.

Once she did, however, she didn't reveal her true feelings and instead continued smiling and behaved in the same way as she escorted him to their place where the entire floor was filled with many tables and loud people sitting around them.

"Are you fine with any table, master? Or is there any one you specifically want?"

It seemed like the woman was acting as the hostess for Jian Shen was used to seeing some of the guests who despite being rich choosing to enter the common area and not a private room.

"Any one of them is fine."

Smiling in the same way as before, the woman continued walking forward along with Jian Shen towards the corner where there was an empty table right in front of them.

Sitting on the same side, Jian Shen didn't need to do anything as the woman quickly left and came back with a bottle of wine which she began pouring in his gla.s.s.

Not saying anything and just filling Jian Shen's gla.s.s with wine every time he emptied it, the woman truly looked like the most obedient wife there could be.

Seeing this, Jian Shen didn't say anything either and continued to enjoy the wine for a while after which he ordered a few of the best dishes available inside the tavern.

Of course, he didn't forget about his original intention behind coming here and listened to everything that those around him were talking about.

Two of the top forces were fighting against each other over a treasure which appeared out of nowhere, the evil cultivator who kidnapped many beautiful women was captured and killed, an unknown cultivator found a great treasure and his strength immediately skyrocketed, and so on.

Listening to the various pieces of news which seemed endless and kept on pouring into his ears, Jian Shen finally felt like he was in the Divine Realm.

Unfortunately, he couldn't keep this up for long as someone else entered the same area.

Without holding back the overbearing pressure of his cultivation, the man who entered the tavern moved straight towards Jian Shen and surprised the woman who was serving him.

Seemed like he was more special than she expected.

Feeling happy that she didn't do anything stupid like treating him poorly when he rejected the private rooms and chose to settle for a table, the woman started curiously looking between Jian Shen and the man who just walked in.

What she didn't know however was that Jian Shen herself didn't know who this man that was walking towards him was.

Sitting in the opposite seat, the man smiled and said, "I thought you would be too scared to leave the palace, but having a cultivator in the Soul Splitting Realm guarding you seems to have given you a lot of confidence."

Those words were enough for Jian Shen to figure out who this man was, but he wanted to be sure that he was the same person he was thinking about.

Therefore, he asked, "Who are you?"

Having seen Jian Shen frown a little in the beginning and then smile as if he figured something out, the man thought that Jian Shen had already figured out who he was, but looks like his thoughts were wrong.

Or, he did know and was just trying to behave like he didn't and try to belittle him.

"Humph! Don't think that having a single person guarding you from the shadows makes you untouchable. If I want to, I can kill you right this moment as well."

"The only reason I'm not is to see the look of despair on your face and Xifeng's face as you lose to Xu Long."
