Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Cursed to a Thousand Cuts Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Cursed to a Thousand Cuts “Alright then, miss, please wait for a moment, I’ll bring it to you immediately.”

The longer he delayed, the longer it would be. The waiter was a shrewd man and immediately compromised.

Since it was night, in the tavern, other than the cook, he was the only servant. So, every task needed him to run up and down.

Leaving the tray on the table, the waiter picked up the bowl of bitter melon with flies in it, turned around, and dashed to the kitchen.

No sooner had the waiter’s figure vanished than Xuexue took out a packet from her bosom, lifted the cap of the wine jug, poured everything in, and then shook the jug vigorously a few times to ensure the medicinal powder was completely dissolved in the wine, before she resealed the cap and put the wine jug back on the tray. Then, as if nothing had happened, she sat back down, reached for her chopsticks, and leisurely resumed her meal.

Shortly after, the waiter hurried out of the kitchen with a plate of food, deftly placed it on the table, his forehead covered in beads of sweat, and said eagerly, “Miss, please enjoy.”

“Hmm!” Xuexue pretended to pick at the sliced bitter melon with her chopsticks and said, “Not bad, it’s cooked quite nicely.”

The waiter sighed with relief, quickly picked up the tray from the table, and ran towards the second floor where the shopkeeper waited for him to serve the wine.

“Master, master, what did you just put into the wine?” Xiao Taohong asked curiously.

“Why don’t you go up and take a look yourself? It’s not like anyone can see you anyway.”

Xuexue, with an unperturbed expression, leisurely continued to eat, no longer exhibiting her initial disposition to flee upon knowing that the dwarf was here.

“Right, if you won’t tell me, I’ll see for myself.” Having said that, Xiao Taohong’s figure floated up, drifting towards the second floor.

Second-Floor Private Room

As the dwarf grew impatient, the waiter hastily brought up the wine.

“You incompetent fool, are you looking down on me? It took you so long to come? It seems you’re tired of living,” the dwarf glared with his mung bean-sized eyes.

The waiter, with legs trembling in fear, quickly explained, “Just now, a guest came to the tavern, and I was attending to her downstairs. Hence the delay, I beg for your mercy, master.”

Despite his short stature, at that moment, the dwarf sat on the stool like a master, with one foot resting on another stool, cursing and swearing, “Blind fool, you neglect serving me to wait on those riffraff instead?”

The shopkeeper, bowing beside him, acted submissively like a grandson, nodding and bowing, inwardly cursing the young servant for being clueless. In business, timing was everything. At such a critical moment, life was more important than money. To serve the Plague God before them well, to safely see him off from the tavern and ensure their own survival was the priority.

“Hehe…! Master, don’t be angry, have a drink to calm down,” the shopkeeper said as he took the wine jug from the tray, poured it into a cup to the brim, then picked it up and respectfully handed it to the dwarf.

“Hmm.”

The dwarf finally appeared satisfied, took the cup in his hand, tilted his head back, and drained it in one gulp, smacking his lips, “Tsk tsk, indeed it is good wine.”

Originally, he was planning to go to Jingshan Town to seek revenge on Big Bull. Passing by this tavern, feeling hungry, he turned in here intending to eat before setting off again.

The shopkeeper was agonized. The damned wine was something he had treasured for a long time, too precious for him to drink, and now it was guzzled like water by the dwarf, such a waste.

However, he dared not show his feelings on his face. This dwarf was a true Demon, ready to draw his blade and kill at the slightest displeasure.
