Tavern in Another Dimension:Getting the Elf Queen Drunk at the Start

Chapter 57: The Lucky Cat, Ai Xiaohei

After making sure that the black cat would not leave, Alan went to prepare to open the tavern.

The black cat wandered around the tavern. When Alan saw that the cat wanted to sneak into the wine cellar again, he quickly grabbed the back of the cat’s neck and returned the cat to the bar counter.

Alan placed the black cat on the bar counter and looked at it while saying, “Don’t think about going into the wine cellar again. You will have your freedom when you pay me the money you owe for the wine.”

“Before that, just stay by my side and strive to become an outstanding ‘lucky cat’.”

The black cat looked at Alan, who was talking non-stop, with an impatient expression on its face. It looked as if this meow was so annoyed at this young man that it did not even want to look at him.

“Oh right, I should give you a name. Otherwise, it doesn’t sound so nice calling you ‘black cat’ all the time.”

Alan was talking to himself as he pondered.

The black cat was constantly making fun of him in his heart.

“I’ll call you Ai Xiaohei. We’ll share the same surname and you’ll be my cat from now on.”

Alan clenched his left hand into a fist and lightly tapped his right palm as he said excitedly.

Upon hearing this name, the black cat looked angry. He couldn’t help but meow loudly, cursing Alan in his heart.

“My owner is the Demon King, I don’t want a new owner!”

“What kind of lousy name did this lousy human give me! It’s so lame! I don’t want to share your surname!”

Seeing Ai Xiaohei grimacing in anger, Alan was amused.

Although he felt that Ai Xiaohei was silently cursing him, it was the cat’s fault for not speaking. Since the cat did not say what his name was, then I’ll give you a name.

“Just sit here. There are usually no customers at the bar. Don’t worry.”

“Also, don’t run around anymore, or I’ll deduct your salary. It’s forbidden to slack off during working hours, Ai Xiaohei.”

Alan reached out and touched Ai Xiaohei’s furry little head. Yes, it felt quite good. Magical beasts were different from ordinary cats in his previous life. They are much easier to pet than ordinary cats.

Ai Xiaohei sighed as if he accepted his fate and lowered his head.

Looking at Alan, who was busy at the bar counter, he lay down in the corner of the bar counter. He squinted his eyes and pretended to be asleep. His thick black tail was swaying left and right, indicating that he was in a good mood.

Alan was open for business in the afternoon.

The moment he opened the door, he was shocked to see a group of people gathered outside the tavern door. When they saw the tavern open, their eyes instantly fell on Alan.

“Hey, Hey, the door is open, the door is open. That must be the boss. He’s so young…”

“He was the one who provided the wine for the festival yesterday. Both of them are new drinks. I heard that those drinks are not cheap.”

“The tavern also sells magic wine. I’ve tried it before, the effects are super good!”

“Wow, I’m so envious that you knew about this tavern early on.”

Before Alan could react, the group of people swarmed in while still talking about the tavern.

From the time Alan opened the door to when the crowd pushed him behind the door, the tavern was already full of customers…

Business was booming today!

“Little boss, hurry up and serve some drinks. I want whiskey!”

“Me too.”

“Same here.”

“I want Lafite over here!”

The customers were already seated. Seeing that Alan was still stunned by the door, they urged him loudly.

Alan quickly responded and went to the bar counter to prepare drinks for each customer.

Alan looked at how lively his tavern was as soon as he opened the door and was overjoyed. His tavern was one step closer to becoming the tavern in his imagination.

Alan was very happy to see the satisfied expressions on his customers after drinking.

He looked at Ai Xiaohei, who was lying in a corner pretending to sleep. He could not help but pat his little head and say, “Ai Xiaohei, you might as well stay in my tavern. You’re my little lucky star!”

Ai Xiaohei pricked up his ears and listened to Alan’s words. Although he did not face Alan, judging from the frequency of his tail wagging, he was very happy at Alan’s praises.

Alan was not sad even though he did not receive a response. He looked at the lively scene in his tavern with a smile on his face. The customers were all smiling happily, drinking and chatting in groups of twos and threes.

Not long after the tavern opened for business, Orina came.

After entering, she was shocked to see that the tavern was already full so early in the afternoon.

Then, she saw Alan standing behind the bar counter waving at her with a smile. She quickly walked over.

Her seat was empty. Despite the full tavern, no one sat in her seat. Even the two seats next to hers were empty.

Orina was very satisfied with Alan’s attentiveness. She sat down at her usual seat with a bright smile.

“Why are you here so early today?” Alan asked.

“Well…” Orina’s smile froze.

Alan felt that she was instantly a little disappointed.

“I’m here to say goodbye. I’m about to return to my clan.”

Even though she was smiling, Alan could still feel the disappointment in her smile. He was also a little disappointed.

“Boss, serve me more wine here.”

Just as Alan was about to answer her, a customer called for him to serve wine.

Seeing that their conversation was interrupted, Alan felt a little helpless and could only smile apologetically at Orina.

“Give me a few minutes.”

Orina sat elegantly on the chair and drank her wine while waiting for Alan to finish his work.

While waiting, she caught a glimpse of a dark figure at the corner of the bar counter. She was sure that this thing never appeared in the tavern before.

The moment Orina entered the bar, Ai Xiaohei immediately sensed her power. His hair stood on end as he tried his best to hide his presence.

Seeing Orina walking closer to the bar counter, he was very nervous. He could only try his best to curl up and hide his presence.

Unfortunately, he could not hide…

After Alan left, Orina had nothing to focus her attention on, so she easily found Ai Xiaohei who was hiding not far from the bar counter.

She felt a dark power emanating from Ai Xiaohei.

She frowned and pulled Ai Xiaohei out from the corner.

Knowing that he could no longer hide, the cat immediately put on an innocent expression and looked at her pitifully, trying to get her to release him.

“Don’t look at me with that expression. I don’t buy it,” Orina said with a cold face.

“You’d better tell me honestly, you Abyssal creature, what is your purpose of getting close to Alan?”

Under Orina’s gaze, Ai Xiaohei began to sweat. He was forced to rely on his hind legs to stand on the bar counter as she grabbed his two front legs. The cat and the elf stared at each other.

Orina’s aura was too strong. Under her gaze, Ai Xiaohei broke out in cold sweat. He was struggling to maintain the pitiful expression on his face…

It wasn’t until Alan finished his work and returned to the bar counter did he rescue the cat from Orina’s grasp.

“Orina, let him go. He’s not a bad guy. Ai Xiaohei, you’re not going to hurt me, right?” Alan said with a laugh.

To escape, Ai Xiaohei no longer pretended that he did not understand the human language. He quickly nodded and agreed with Alan’s words, trying to prove to Orina that he was harmless.

“He’s a creature from the Abyss, Alan. The Abyss is very dangerous!”

Orina said seriously, afraid that Alan did not understand the evil and terror of the Abyss.

Alan just smiled and took Ai Xiaohei from Orina. He held the cat in his arms and stroked his furry head to comfort him.

As soon as Ai Xiaohei was in Alan’s arms, he rubbed his head against him and tried his best to please Alan.

Alan comforted him and then looked at Orina.

“Don’t worry. I know a little about the Abyss, and Ai Xiaohei is not evil.”

Seeing that Orina was still worried, he could only try his best to comfort her.

“By the way, did you say that you were going back to the elf clan?” Alan changed the topic.

Seeing him like this, Orina only sighed and suppressed the worry in her heart.

“The great elder sent news that the Abyss Passage has been unusually active recently. I need to go back and be on guard. I also need to reinforce the seal.”

After Orina spoke, she glared at Ai Xiaohei, who kept shrinking into Alan’s arms.
