The Immortal's Wine Store

Demon Empress Ganda held the bottle filled with blue wine. When she removed the cover, her nose was assaulted by a wave of oceanic fragrance that reminded her of the vast seas. She also discovered that just the smell alone of this wine made her cells extremely active and agitated. It was as if something had woken them up. This feeling was similar to when she was in her cultivation room. She found it hard to believe that a wine's smell actually has the same effect as a cultivation room!

"1000 Blood Stones is too cheap for it. If I was the one selling this, just the smell alone would be worth 5000 Blood Stones." Lou Baiqing suddenly said as he inhaled the fragrance of the wine.

Demon Empress Ganda ignored him and drank her wine silently.

It was delicious.

She licked her lips as she glanced at the wine bottle with surprise. "5000? I would even pay 50,000 Blood Stones for this."

Huh?

Lou Baiqing stared at her in wonder, but when the wine went down his stomach. He felt his body slowly changing. "This..."

"This wine is capable of enhancing spiritual power. That means, a much faster cultivation speed for people at our level of power. I wonder how that human created such a precious wine..." Demon Empress Ganda sighed as she thought of the silver-haired youth seated on a chair outside the store. He was truly a mysterious person. Just this wine alone was enough to make the Demon Empress feel that there was something more about this human.

Lou Baiqing nodded his head in agreement. He could also feel the churning of his dantian. It wasn't just a minor increase in spiritual power. In fact, it was equivalent to a few years of spiritual cultivation! Just imagine how much time they could save if they could drink this wine daily. It was truly precious!

"Lou Baiqing, if this man was truly involved with Garland's death, we might not be able to avenge him. Besides, he caused his own death!" Demon Empress Ganda sighed and no longer spoke after she said those words. She felt truly helpless with their situation.

She had seen Jiu Shen earlier and although she had yet to see his true power, she was certain that the human was stronger than her. 'If he can kill Garland without difficulty, then he should be a peak stage Void God Realm expert! With that kind of power, no one in the Crimson Fiend Continent is his opponent...'

"Your Majesty, what do we do now?" Lou Baiqing asked as she stared at the Demon Empress, but the latter merely shook her head in reply.

Seeing this, he decided to remain silent and just drink all of his wine.

After drinking her wine, Demon Empress Ganda stood up and walked towards the door leading outside the store as she muttered. "You pay for the wines."

Hearing this, Lou Baiqing could only speechlessly glance at her back.

As she stepped outside of the store, Demon Empress Ganda directly headed to where they had last seen Jiu Shen and the crown princess of the empire.

At this moment, she once again saw the garden filled with numerous spiritual plants. Her eyes were almost blinded as she stared longingly at these spiritual herbs and flowers.

She forcefully ignored the garden and searched for Jiu Shen. Luckily, they didn't go anywhere.

Demon Empress Ganda saw that Jiu Shen was still seated lazily on his chair as he watched the crown princess hold the metal ball. She felt like laughing when she saw this scene, but instincts told her not to.

With a face full of curiosity, she approached the human.

Cornelia slightly turned her head when she heard a series of light footsteps. She definitely didn't want anybody to see her in her current condition. It was too humiliating for a crown princess like her to do this kind of thing in public!

When the succubus saw the face of the demon walking in their direction, her eyeballs almost popped out in shock. It was a demon with long red hair and beautiful facial features. The succubus even felt inferior as she stared at this demon lady.

Cornelia turned around to check Jiu Shen's reaction, but the man didn't even stare at the newcomer. He was only leaning on his chair with his eyes shut tight.

Looking at this, Cornelia felt slightly relieved for no reason.

"Greetings, Wine Master Jiu Shen and Your Highness Cornelia." The beautiful red-haired demon greeted in a pleasing voice.

Cornelia tried to smile, but she could only put on a crooked smile with great difficulty. The metal ball was too heavy! Goddammit!

Jiu Shen slowly opened his eyes and stared at the Demon Empress with an expressionless face. "So you must be the hidden leader of the Narda Principality."

Demon Empress Ganda's face changed, but she soon calmed down. She smiled as she stared at Jiu Shen. "It seems like Wine Master Jiu Shen is already aware of my presence. That's right. I'm indeed Narda Principality's hidden leader. My name is Ganda."

Cornelia's eyes widened and her grip on the metal ball loosened. It immediately fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"Ah, this... I didn't do it on purpose! I swear!" Cornelia hurriedly explained while looking at Jiu Shen with pleading eyes.

Jiu Shen smirked and stood up from his seat. He then grabbed the fallen metal ball and handed it back to Cornelia. He then whispered to her ears. "I'll let you go this time, so disappear out of my sight before I change my mind."

Cornelia's heart chilled and she hastily left the scene. She didn't even bother to say goodbye to the Demon Empress...

Jiu Shen chuckled as he looked at the retreating figure. He then turned his gaze towards the Demon Empress who was looking at him with an amused look. However, to her surprise, Jiu Shen's smiling expression suddenly went cold when he stared at her.

"Since you are the leader of Narda Principality, you should know Garland, right?" Jiu Shen icy voice made the Demon Empress feel a bit afraid.

This guy was frightening!
