Chapter 182 - Sending Liuli And Xia Xinyue To Manage The Sect Construction
The Immortal's Wine Store
"Before sending all of you away, I will provide you with the most basic pieces of armor and swords." Jiu Shen said as took out a pile of items from his space earring.
Not long later, Jiu Shen had already taken out one hundred ordinary swords and armors for the youths.
"This will be your equipment. If you manage to survive this training, I will give you guys something much better than these, so you have to work hard and survive this. And after this training, I will select ten among you to participate in the upcoming martial arts competition. Okay, thatâs all. Now, I will teleport your groups into different locations." Jiu Shen said as he opened multiple rifts in space effortlessly.
Looking at how Jiu Shen had easily used the element of space in such a manner, even Long Meili who was already a Nascent God Realm felt stunned in her heart.
âHow did Master do it?â
Of course, this was because Jiu Shen was already the Deity of the Spirit World, and he had the power to do anything as he pleases here!
"What are you waiting for?! Jump into the portal that Iâve made together with your respective groups!" Jiu Shen reprimanded sternly after seeing the dumbfounded looks of the young kids.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Y-Yes, master!"
"Yes, master!"
The young men immediately acknowledged the command after hearing Jiu Shenâs stern call. And so, with resolute gazes, the youths separated into ten groups as they stepped inside the rifts in space.
After the last kid was gone, Long Meili who was silent the entire time could not help but voice out her thoughts. "Master, will they be alright? I mean theyâre still inexperienced kids despite the vigorous training that theyâve undergone. I fear that they might not be able to survive in the wilds..."
Jiu Shen took a glance at her and said with a calm look. "Only through experiencing bloodshed would they emerge as experts. Donât underestimate those kids, Little Lizard. Although they havenât experienced this kind of training yet, the studentâs that Iâve trained would not die that easily, and if ever they truly face a life-threatening scenario, then I will save them in an instant."
Jiu Shen then walked closer to Long Meili and patted her head. "Letâs go back to the store. I can monitor their progress through this crystal here." He said as he pointed at the crystal that was embedded on his left wrist.
Long Meili stared at the crystal in her masterâs wrist with a curious look before nodding her head in obeisance. "Yes, master. I obey."

A week later, Jiu Shen was seated in a random corner on the first floor of his store. His face remained expressionless even though he was being attended by the three ladies, Liuli, Xia Xinyue, and Long Meili.
"Lord Jiu Shen, Iâm bored to death here. Could you please give me a mission? Iâm not used to staying idle like this..." Liuli grabbed Jiu Shenâs right arm, hugging it tightly in her embrace as she glanced at him with pleading eyes.
Xia Xinyueâs lips twitched when she saw Liuliâs intimate contact with Jiu Shen and she could help but glare at her with piercing eyes. âThis vixen is trying to seduce Lord Sect Master again! Hateful!â Xia Xinyue thought to herself while also feeling a bit jealous in her heart.
Long Meili stared daggers at Liuli and from the looks of her eyes, it was as if she couldnât wait to spit a breath of flames at her.
Jiu Shen heard Liuliâs words and he was slightly taken aback. Indeed, he had neglected this rare management talent, but he didnât have any job for her at this moment since his sectâs base was yet to be conducted, but suddenly, he thought about something. âThatâs right! I can just send her to begin this construction process and let her handle it, but I have to let someone monitor her as well. Hmm...â
Jiu Shen slowly opened his eyes and met Liuliâs pleading look that was similar to a puppy asking for a treat. He then said in a calm voice. "In that case, I will give you a job. This is important, so I donât want any mistakes to happen."
Liuliâs eyes lit up and she promptly nodded her head in excitement as she grabbed Jiu Shenâs arm even more tightly that it almost squeezed her towering bosom. "Yes, Lord Jiu Shen! Donât worry. I wonât fail you. Hehe..."
Jiu Shenâs lips twitched when he sensed two soft mounds rubbing against his right arm, but he still nodded his head at her with a poker face. He already expected her confidence. After all, she was able to make the Green Wood Pavilion a renowned hotel in the whole Silver Wing Empire.
"I want you to manage the construction of my sectâs base. I already have a draft of how it should look like, and as for the materials and people, you will handle it for me. Can you do this?" Jiu Shen asked with an indifferent look as he handed a scroll made from a savage beastâs skin to her.
Liuli unrolled the scroll and her eyes brightened upon seeing the design that Jiu Shen had drawn. She was most confident in her ability to manage things, so she nodded her head at Jiu Shen with a smile. "Lord Jiu Shen, you can rest assured. I will handle everything carefully and wonât let you down. Hehe." She then stuck her tongue out while looking at Xia Xinyue with a provoking look.
"Good. Xinyue, I want you to help Liuli in doing this. Although she doesnât need any help, more people working together will make things go smoother." Jiu Shen said while looking at Xia Xinyue.
Xia Xinyue who was staring piercingly at Liuli was pleasantly surprised by Jiu Shenâs command, and she immediately cast a smug smile at Liuli which made the latter snort tenderly in response.
"Yes, Lord Sect Master. Donât worry, I wonât let this vix- Liuli make any mistakes." Xia Xinyue smiled at Jiu Shen reassuringly.
"I trust that the both of you would be able to complete this with ease. If you need anything from me, donât hesitate to ask. Okay, you may begin this now." Jiu Shen said.
The two girls stood up from their seats and bowed at Jiu Shen.
"We will get this done as soon as possible, Lord Sect Master."
"Leave this to us, Lord Jiu Shen."
After that, the ladies gave Jiu Shen one last look before departing from the store while glaring at each other.
"Master, the two of them... They wouldnât fight, right?" Long Meili asked while smiling in amusement as she pointed at the disappearing silhouettes of Xia Xinyue and Liuli.
Jiu Shen remained silent for a moment before he shook his head lightly. "Xia Xinyue isnât a violent type of woman, so she wouldnât make things more difficult for the both of them. As for Liuli, she might be a cunning lady, but her heart is not treacherous. With their skills, the construction of my sectâs main base would definitely progress without a problem."
