21 Uproar in The Eternal Spring Tower!

As the evening fell, The Grand Sky City was illuminated by lanterns and lights. The entire city turned bustling at night as various shops opened, welcoming the nightlife.

Crimson paper lanterns hung around Eternal Spring Tower as it glowed. With an amazing firework, the Eternal Spring Tower opened its doors.

" Welcome to the Eternal Spring Tower. Hope all the guests enjoy the night!"

A flood of crowd entered the building as everyone was curious. However, when they entered the building, they couldn't help but be surprised.

It looked more spacious than before. It seems Eternal Spring Tower discarded many things. However, there are also many new things there, the ones they never saw.

" Welcome! Welcome! Esteemed guests, please have a seat and enjoy some complimentary."

" Tonight's special, Fried Fish Fillets with Sweet and Spicy Sauce and our Honey Brew Wine."

The men took their seats as they looked around them. They noticed the girls of the Eternal Spring Tower all wore similar dresses, like a uniform. They wore a strange black and white design with short skirts.

With a smile on their face, they chatted and flattered all the guests. With a slight flattering, any man would be happy. Not to mention, the maid's attitude was simply pleasant.

" Fried Fish Fillet? Is this a new dish?"

" I need to try!"

Soon, the maids brought the plates as they served all the guests the food and wine. As a person took a bite, they couldn't help but get surprised.

" Marvelous! Simply Amazing!"

" Mmm! It is crispy. But it is also like melting in my mouth."

However, a fierce debate broke out between the guests.

" The sweet sauce is better! It gives such a mellow taste!"

" Nope! The spicy sauce! It goes well with this fried fish!"

" No! Sweet!"

" Nope! Spicy!"

As they chatted, they ordered more and more. Not to mention, Eternal Spring Tower already said that these are free food. So, why anyone would stay behind?

As the crowd talked, some people already started having ulterior motives.

Suddenly, A young man threw the cup of wine on the floor as he laughed. " Honey Brew Wine? Bah, it tastes bland! With this dish, only the Blissful Hall's Blissful Wine is fitting!"

" Indeed! Blissful Wine is better than this Honey Brew Wine!"

" Hehe, To think Eternal Spring Tower is just selling their old medicines in a new bottle! They only talk big. But there is no improvement at all."

As their voice echoed, the crowd also stirred. Many of them also felt that the Honey Brew Wine was a bad combo with the Fried Fish Fillets.

" Indeed, It is not going well."

" Huuu, But I really wanted to taste a new wine."

Suddenly, Meng Zhi walked out and clapped her hands. " Esteemed guests, I think you all are dissatisfied with our wine?"

" Yes! Yes!"

" We are, Indeed!"

Meng Zhi smiled. " This lady apologizes. I hope you all will love the new wine."

" However, Unlike the food, the wine is paid for. You all will get only one glass free, to take a taste. I hope guests shall not mind this woman."

Soon, the maids walked out as they all carried golden plates with wine jars and jade cups.

They poured one cup per guest swiftly. Soon, the room filled with a rich aroma of wine.

" What a strong smell! I like it!"

" Mm! I can get intoxicated by the smell alone!"

" Brothers! Cheers!"

" In the name of new wine!"

" Cheers!"

The moment everyone took a sip, they all froze in their place. The clamoring hall suddenly turned calm and silent. One could even hear the sound of their collective breaths at this point.

Most of them closed their eyes as they savored the wine in their mouth and in their heart.

" This fiery feeling… It is like standing under the warm sun. I can feel my whole body filled with a strange sense of….comforting heat."

" But the next moment…" Another person added. " I can feel the burning sensation slowly turnint into coolness. It's as if I jumped in a cold pool of water amidst in hot summer. The coolness is refreshing."

" Impossible! How can I feel both heat and cold at the same time!"

" But this wine is very rich in taste. Even my True Qi is stirring due to it."

" More!"

A middle aged man fiercely looked at a nearby maid. " I need more wine!"

" Gentlemen, This wine is our latest brewed wine. It is called Song of Summer and Winter. A jar of it with only… 1 mid grade spirit stone!" Meng Zhi smiled brightly.

" Impossible!" The disguised disciple of Blissful Heaven Temple got up as he protested. " One mid grade spirit stone per jar? This is daylight robbery!"

" Eternal Spring Tower is scamming the masses!"

However, contrary to their words, the crowd remained silent this time. Suddenly, a person stood up as he spoke. " Two jars of Song of Summer and Winter, please!"

Another person stood up and spoke, " Such a special wine… I think they don't have much of it. Therefore, I will buy three jars!"

After these two voices, many of the guests were stirred. A limited-edition wine? No, they must buy it!"

" One jar for me!"

" Two jars for me!"

Meng Zhi smiled. " Well, Fellow daoists, you can also buy in cups. Each cup costs fifty low grade spirit stones only!"

" Is that so! Haha, Although I can't buy a whole jar, A few cups would be ok, no?"

" Four cups of wine, please!

" Me too! Me too!"

The Blissful Heaven Temple's disciples felt their cheeks burning when they saw the scene. His fellow disciple looked around as he gritted his teeth.

" Four cups here also."

" What?" The second disciple was shocked. " Fellow brother, How can you…"

" Shut up. We are currently in disguise." The first disciple snorted.

" And, don't tell me you didn't like the wine?"

" That…"

" Then, shut up and drink!"

Meng Zhi grinned ear to ear as she looked at everyone from the upper floor. " Little brother, It looks like your plan is working."

Long Ming fanned himself with his Peach Blossom Fan as he laughed, " How can it not work? Food and wine, which man can turn his face away?"

" Not to mention…" Meng Zhi looked at the disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple. " You were right. Some rats really trying to stir trouble."

" Don't worry, Indirectly, They are helping us." Long Ming chuckled as he turned his head.

" Mm… Xiao'er, you can stop massaging me."

Xiao'er bowed as she nodded. " As you say, Young Master."

Long Ming nodded as laughed. " Now, your time has come. Go and do your part."

" Yes…"

She bowed and walked away.

Suddenly, a young man wearing an expensive robe stood up. " Ten jars! I want ten jars of Song of Summer and Winter!"

"Esteemed guest, I don't think that is possible…" A maid bowed as she apologized.

" What? Do you know who am I?" The youth snorted. " I am Ning Shaoyu! The young master of Ning Family!"

Meng Zhi looked at the scene as she sighed. " I guess everything is like you predicted."

Long Ming chuckled. " Well, Remember… To gain long term goals, you need to sacrifice small time profits."

Meng Zhi's figure faded as she appeared before Ning Shaoyu. " Young Master Ning, you are our valuable guest."

" However, due to the sake of fairness, We shall only sell five jars to a single person." Meng Zhi smiled.

" Young Master Ning is a gentleman. I am sure you can understand."

Ming Shaoyu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Meng Zhi. He knew it is unwise to stir trouble in Eternal Spring Tower.

" Fine, Five jars. I need five jars then."

Meng Zhi laughed. " Well, Young Master Ning, don't be angry. You better preserve your money for better things."

" Better things?"

Not only Ning Shaoyu but also all the guests were startled. Something even better than this wine?"

Suddenly, the lanterns in the hall blew out as darkness shrouded everyone. As everyone suddenly got panic stricken, the Night Pearls lit up as they worked as a spotlight.

The hall was divided by a wide path as guests sat at the table on both sides. The spotlight focused on the wide path as a woman came walking by.

" Look! It is her!"

" The woman on that banner! Look at her dress!"

" Mhm! What a cleverly made dress. That white satin dress with that deep cut showed her chest and her busts. That transparency… Oh gosh!"

" Too good!"

Xiao'er walked along with that woman as she bowed. She also wore a fiery dress, provoking the thoughts of many men.

" Tonight, the First Crimson Flower, the Widow of Noble Family. Miss Lin is a widow who has been lonely for years."

" Therefore, is there any gentleman here who can give her a warm night?" Xiao'er smiled deviously. " A mature, charming, yet lonely beauty….Any of you wishing to give her some moments of happiness?"

" Of course, Only a rich and talented person shall accompany her. So…"

" 100 low grade spirit stones!"

" 500 low grade spirit stones!"

" 1 mid grade spirit stone!"

" 5 mid grade spirit stones!" Ning Shaoyu laughed as he got up. " Miss Lin, Will you accompany me to talk about moons and flowers?"

" Seven mid grade stones!"

" Who!" Ning Shaoyu's expression changed. " Who is flaunting their wealth in front of me!"

" Well, Ning Family isn't the overlord here. Ning Shaoyu, you better tone down."

Ning Shaoyu recognized him. " Qi Sha! It's you! Hmph! Ten mid grade spirit stones!"

" Twenty!"

" Thirty!"

" Fifty" Ning Shaoyu gritted his teeth. " Is there any more? Qi Sha! Admit defeat!"

" Hmph! Consider this as your lucky day!"

Ning Shaoyu laughed as Xiao'er bowed. " Is there anyone who would like to increase the bid? If no…"

" Congratulations, Young Master Ning. I hope you enjoy your time with Miss Lin."

" Haha! Good! Very good!" Ning Shaoyu laughed as he got up. " Miss Lin, Let's not waste time, shall we?"

After Miss Lin and Ning Shaoyu left, the Neko Girl came out next. This time, the bidding was even fiercer. It settled for 70 mid grade spirit stones.

Long Ming sat on the balcony as he laughed. He drank a cup of wine as he leaned back.

" Let the money flow in…"
