Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 91: Black Tavern! It's a Black Tavern!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

"I can't do this! After meeting such a fine smelling wine, there's no way I can just sit here and not get a taste!"

Zhou Qiang stood up abruptly and walked out of the dining room.

"Brother Qiang, where are you going?" Chen Bozhong asked in puzzlement. The food was already here, so why did he suddenly leave?

"You guys start eating first. I'm going out to find some wine!" Zhou Qiang waved his hands casually in return, not even turning around as he continued walking.

Zhou Qiang walked out of the room and immediately saw Bei Feng coming out from the other room. His eyes lit up as he saw the wine bowl in Bei Feng's hand. "Are you the boss here?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Bei Feng applied with some irritation.

"Boss, how about we do a bit of business? I'll buy the bowl of wine in your hands for 1,000 yuan."

Bei Feng raised his brows slightly. This fellow is actually quite discerning of the fine stuff... "Not selling." He replied blandly.

"Wait, I'll increase the money, alright? 2,000! I'll offer 2,000 yuan!" Zhou Qiang saw Bei Feng turning away from him and hurriedly ran up to him in panic.

Bei Feng was completely unfazed by the offer. "Not selling. This is a medicinal wine... I can drink it, but you can't!"

"How can this be a medicinal wine? But even if it is, I still want to drink it! How much do you want for it? Name a price!"

Zhou Qiang refused to give up. Putting a cup of excellent wine before an alcoholic and telling him that he could only look but not drink was akin to torture!

"Do you really want to drink it?" Bei Feng asked in annoyance.

"Yes!" Zhou Qiang had a resolute look on his face.

"Fine, I'll let you have it for 50,000 yuan," Bei Feng lifted up 5 fingers calmly.

"What? How much? Why don't you go and rob instead?!" Zhou Qiang smacked his ears a few times, as if suspecting that he had heard wrongly.

Bei Feng had quoted a ridiculous price from the outset so as to get rid of him. He looked at Zhou Qiang with disdain, "You don't have to buy it if you don't want to. I'm not forcing you, am I? Is there anything else you need? If not, I'm going now."

Zhou Qiang's face turned extremely ugly as it alternated between a strange shade of green and white. He watched Bei Feng slowly walk off into the distance, but did not move to stop him.

50,000 yuan for a cup of wine...Zhou Qiang had no intention to suffer such a loss!

"Hmph!"

Zhou Qiang turned back and returned to the dining room with a cold snort.

Although Bei Feng wanted to get rid of Zhou Qiang, he actually had no intention of cheating the guy. A medicinal wine refined with two venomous Demonic Beasts was incredibly valuable. Anyone who drank it would become immune to most poisons and, under specific circumstances, it could even save a person's life!

Of course, his reluctance to sell the wine was part of the reason for the sky high price, but if Zhou Qiang was really willing to pay the amount, he would not stop him from buying it.

"Brother Qiang, what's wrong?"

Chen Bozhong asked as soon as the black-faced Zhou Qiang returned.

"What kind of restaurant have you brought us to? This is obviously a black tavern! Do you know what the boss said to me just now when I went to ask him for a cup of wine?" Zhou Qiang downed an entire cup of tea in a fit of fury and almost spat it out again immediately. "F*ck! Even the tea tastes so disgusting! That boss is really a bloody lunatic! I asked him to sell me a cup of wine and he actually demanded 50,000 yuan!"

Zhou Qiang felt like his entire mouth was filled with bitterness. After taking a breath of cold air through his nose, his face slowly adjusted to resemble that of a constipated dog.

Chen Bozhong was slightly dazed. A cup of wine was so expensive? Even if he brought his entire family's savings over, it would only be enough for a few cups of wine!

"Brother Qiang, the boss of this place has a strange character... I think he must have quoted you an impossible price for the sake of upholding his own rules, hoping that you'll back off," Chen Bozhong explained.

"Forget it, let's eat," Zhou Qiang shook his head and picked up his chopsticks.

"Eh? What's this meat? It's so tender, and the skin is so springy..."

The girl seated beside Zhou Qiang had barely finished chewing the first mouthful of meat before she directed her chopsticks at another piece.

"Not bad! It's really delicious! The meat's taste is even better than its smell!" Chen Bozhong's eyes lit up in delight as he swallowed the meat.

Zhou Qiang looked at his greedy friends with displeasure. Whose side were these guys on? At the same time, he also grabbed a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The moment that piece of meat entered his mouth, Zhou Qiang was unable to control himself as he reached for yet another piece of meat. The entire matter about the wine was thrown into the back of his mind without the least hesitation.

In another dining room, there was a beautiful lady who was sat with three men, all aged around 40.

"Third Sister, I gotta hand it to you; you really know how to enjoy yourself! How did you find a good place like this?"

The stocky, muscular man across the table asked as he chewed slowly on a piece of Giant Salamander meat.

The beautiful lady only smiled slightly in response, "I found it by chance. This place happened to be quite close to our destination, so I thought we should enjoy a good meal before we go. This will also count as an early celebratory meal for our successful mission."

The other two men were eating in a much more vulgar manner. Their mouths were filled with food and their words were slightly garbled, "Thi- this pflace ish pretty goosd! Gulp... when we return, we can come and eat here again!"

"Big Brother, have you determined the location yet?"

Hsiao Mei looked disapprovingly at the two men and turned towards the large man in front of her. [1]

Although Han Dan appeared rough, his bearing was actually rather refined. He put another piece of Giant Salamander meat into his mouth and chewed unhurriedly as he turned to smile at Hsiao Mei. "Relax, I have spent a ton of effort for this large tomb over this half a year, and have already determined its location. As long as we can obtain the items within that tomb, us siblings can wash our hands off the entire business and just retire, living the rest of our lives in comfort and luxury.

"En, but we must not let our guard down. Who knows what kind of deadly stuff might be sitting in that tomb?" Hsiao Mei reminded with a hint of worry in her tone.

"Don't worry, Third Sis. When have we ever failed during the span of so many years we've spent doing it?" Han Dan's voice was filled with confidence.

"Eh? Second Bro, where are you going?" Han Dan asked as his brother got up abruptly.

"Big Bro, I'm going to the toilet... could it be that you want to go with me?" Pan Jin wiped his greasy lips against his sleeves.

The corner of his mouth twitching violently, Han Dan waved his hands in disgust, "No need, you can go by yourself."

"F*ck, I can't hold it in any longer... where's the restroom?"

Pan Jin cursed aloud as he roamed about the mansion wildly. "They charge so much for a single meal, but the service is so bad. Now, at a crucial time, not a single person can be seen!

I can't hold it in anymore! F*ck it, I'll just find a random place to pee!"

Pan Jin made sure that there was nobody around and quickly darted into an empty room.

"Eh?!"

Upon entering the room, Pan Jin saw a huge ancient-looking cauldron which was at least 1.5 meters tall. In that moment, he was so shocked that he nearly lost control of his bladder.

He ran his hands over the exquisite patterns on the cauldron in complete shock. This went on for over 10 minutes and finally, Pan Jin was finally certain of the value of this cauldron!

'Holy sh*t! Although I'm unable to determine the specific era this cauldron originates from, it is definitely a national level treasure no matter which era it came from! To be preserved to such an extent, what an invaluable piece of treasure!'

Although Pan Jin was a coarse man, he was not a simple person. After all, he was a professional tomb raider whose family had been in the business for eight generations!

With the wisdom passed down from generations of successful tomb raiders, Pan Jin's eye for treasures was not inferior to those professional appraisers, collectors and history professors! In fact, his skill might even be higher!

Pan Jin had already slipped into a state of excitement so intense that even his 'urgent biological business' was cleanly forgotten.

His mind was only filled with thoughts about how he could obtain the large cauldron!

"What are you doing here?"

A gruff voice sounded right behind his ear, causing him to almost lose control of his bladder again.

Gulping a mouthful of saliva nervously, he turned around slowly to face the hulking beast behind him. An enormous figure which seemed to fill the entire doorway stared back at him.

His muscles were taut and as firm as rocks. His arms were so wide that Pan Jin truly wondered if it could serve as a race track for wild horses!

As he compared his own figure to the figure of the guy in the doorway, Pan Jin could only curse darkly in his mind. 'F*ck! This must be one of those legendary steroid-fed monsters with growth hormones!'

[1] ED/N: Actually, her name is spelled Xiao Mei, and while it's spelled with different characters and has different pronunciation, some readers may confuse it with "Little Sister" (for those familiar with anime, her name is like "One-san," almost the same as "Onee-san"; there's only a minor difference, and "One" here actually means "ridge", while "Onee" means "sister"... this is the same situation; if this is not clear enough, just think of her being named Litle Sisster--and remember to pretend it's an existing name and surname xD). Thus, to avoid confusion, we decided on Taiwanese spelling instead of Pinyin for Xiao.
