Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

The monsters swarmed to Lu Yuguan's table, craning their necks and desperately inhaling the aroma of the wine.

Little Sheep lay face down on the table, her eyes glazed over.

"Guest... no, sir, what kind of celestial brew is this?"

Lu Yuguan looked at the excited demons, smiled slightly, raised his hand, and the scene instantly quieted down.

"This liquor is called Erguotou, a divine item that I, a mermaid, obtained by chance during my travels around the world!"

"However, I am new here today and still quite unfamiliar with Stone City."

Lu Yuguan placed the Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) on the table.

"I love listening to stories."

"Whoever can describe the situation here to me in the most detail will get this bottle of Erguotou!"

The moment the words were spoken, it was like a pond that had been thrown in by a boulder, boiling over completely.

"The adults are asking me!"

"I know the secrets of Stone City!"

"Get out of my way! I know the entrance to the inner city's black market!"

"I know where to get contraband!"

For this drink, the monsters scrambled to get their hands on it, eager to spill everything they knew.

For a while.

The tavern became a bustling marketplace.

Lu Yuguan sat leisurely in his chair, listening to all sorts of true and false news.

Among them, Xiaomei explained it most thoroughly.

From the distribution of power in Stone City to the quirks of several demon generals.

She even knew exactly which corner had the densest demonic energy.

Lu Yuguan nodded secretly.

This Demon Realm... is even more chaotic than I imagined.

He picked up the bottle of Erguotou and, amidst countless envious and jealous glances, handed it to Xiaomei.

"It's yours."

Little Sheep was so excited that her horns were trembling. She took the bottle with both hands and hugged it tightly to her chest.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Just as she was about to open the bottle and taste it, a muffled sound came from outside the tavern.

"right here!"

"Search them thoroughly!"

It's a minotaur!

It actually came knocking on our door!?

Lu Yuguan's expression changed drastically.

The Mermaid Queen's disguise could fool people for a while, but the source of her power could not withstand careful examination. Without demonic energy, she was not a demon!

He looked at Xiao Mei and lowered his voice: "Boss, could I use the restroom?"

Little Sheep was engrossed in drinking Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) when she heard this, and she blinked her big eyes in surprise:

"Has the master forgotten?"

"I lost the bet just now, so this shop is yours now."

Lu Yuguan:?

What the hell!

Are all the monsters in Demon Realm this honest?!

He didn't care about anything else and slipped into the toilet in the back of the tavern.

Bah!

The tavern door was violently pushed open.

The Minotaur, carrying a spiked club, led a menacing patrol in.

The monsters, who were initially lamenting not getting the good wine, were instantly terrified.

"It's General Bull Demon!"

"Run!"

In just a few breaths, all the customers in the tavern had left, leaving only the little sheep clutching its wine bottle.

The minotaur, with his large, bell-like eyes, scanned the area, then walked up to the little sheep and said in a deep voice:

"Boss Yang."

Have you seen any sea creatures?

Xiao Mei's heart tightened.

The rich fragrance emanating from the bottle kept wafting into her nose.

No...

This flavor is amazing!

Although that sea creature was suspicious, the things it gave us were really good!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could make a quick buck out of him because of this?

Thinking of this, Xiao Mei immediately put on a smile and pointed to the door:

“General Bull Demon, there was indeed a nobleman who had a drink in the shop and then left.”

"If I remember correctly... we should have gone to the inner city?"

The minotaur stared intently at the little sheep, and after a few seconds, he snorted coldly, "Not bad, once the suspect is caught, you'll get a share of the credit!"

"Chase!"

"Head towards the inner city!"

The patrol came quickly and left quickly, their footsteps fading into the distance.

Lu Yuguan cautiously peeked out.

"gone?"

Little Sheep breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest: "It's over, it's over, that scared me to death!"

Lu Yuguan was completely relieved and walked out.

He looked at the little sheep. Although the sheep boss was greedy, he had indeed helped him a lot.

"Thanks!"

"If it weren't for you, we would be in big trouble."

Little Sheep waved her hand, her eyes still glued to the Erguotou liquor: "It's nothing, it's nothing, we're just helping each other out..."

Lu Yuguan smiled, rummaged in his system backpack, and pulled out a few packets of snacks.

"Consider it a favor I owe you. Here, have something good for you!"

He opened the package, revealing peanuts with a salty aroma. "These are called 'Drunkard's Peanuts,' perfect with alcohol. You should try them."

The little sheep curiously picked up a few and put them in its mouth.

Click!

Crispy texture...salty and savory with a hint of spiciness...

The little sheep's eyes widened: "Delicious! So delicious!"

She grabbed the Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), unscrewed the cap, and carefully took a small sip.

“Hiss…”

The strong liquor goes down like a flame, followed by a long, mellow aftertaste.

And topped with fragrant peanuts.

Little Sheep was so happy she almost fainted.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"This is the true nature of a demon!!!"

Lu Yuguan looked at Boss Yang and couldn't help but smile.

Little Sheep slapped her forehead.

"Almost forgot!"

She swayed as she got up and pulled a worn-out ledger from under the counter: "Here you go."

Lu Yuguan was taken aback: "What is this?"

“The ledger,” Little Sheep said, her face flushed, “is yours to keep your bets!”

Lu Yuguan took it and opened it with some skepticism.

Page 1, balanced budget.

The second page shows a slight loss.

Page 3...

shocking!

Lu Yuguan's eyelids twitched, and the further he rolled his eyes, the darker his face became.

"no?"

He pointed to the last few pages of the ledger, "Is your tavern about to go out of business?"

Little Sheep rubbed her hands shyly.

"It's not exactly going bankrupt..."

"Well... business hasn't been very good lately."

"We received 300 jars of wine last month. How many were sold?"

"one hundred."

"Where's the rest?"

Xiao Mei's voice was weak: "Actually, I can drink half of the alcohol I get every day."

"..."

Lu Yuguan almost couldn't catch his breath.

Good guy!

No wonder it went bankrupt!

The owner himself is a drunkard, he drinks as much as he buys, what kind of tavern is that?

Lu Yuguan held his forehead with his hand.

"Tong-chan, I think I've taken on a mess."

Be more confident

Remove the "seems" part.

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring the bankrupt tavern]

Looking at the drunken little sheep and the empty tavern, Lu Yuguan felt like crying but had no tears.

【Ding! ——】

[Triggering the side quest [Bankrupt Tavern]]

[Task Details: Gratitude is a virtue. Please turn the tavern's losses into profits within one week.]

[Quest Reward: Demon-Nourishing Pill *1]

Lu Yuguan's eyes lit up.

Grandma!

After waiting for so long, I finally have a task!

But this Demon-Nourishing Pill... doesn't sound like a good thing.

"boss?"

Little Sheep asked shyly, "Could I work here?"

Lu Yuguan coughed lightly: "Of course, but..."

"But what?"

"You can no longer sneak drinks, and you must obey my orders and work hard!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei's face immediately fell.

"Of course, if the tavern makes a profit, I can give you quite a bit of good liquor like Erguotou."

"Really!?"

"I keep my word," Lu Yuguan said lightly. "As for how much profit... let's set a small goal first, and earn a hundred million!"
