The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 400 - Are You An Idiot?

"Dead? What do you mean?" Demon Empress Ganda slightly frowned. How could Garland die in the Great Demon Empire? He was already a Void God Realm expert and even if Demon Emperor Balmond was stronger than him, Garland could still escape if he wanted to.

Lou Baiqing slowly recounted what they had experienced and discovered while they were in Morlon City. He wasn't actually sure if Garland has died, but knowing that man's personality, he must've unknowingly provoked the owner of that wine store. He was aware of Garland's greed towards a spiritual plant in Jiu Shen's garden.

"A mysterious human suddenly appeared in Morlon City and established a wine store? He has hundreds of spiritual plants in his garden and you're also telling me that he might be the reason for Garland's disappearance?" Demon Empress Ganda felt that it was absurd.

According to her understanding of Balmond's character, that guy was very territorial and he strictly forbids the presence of humans in his empire. And now, Lou Baiqing is telling her that a human has peacefully opened a wine store in Morlon City? However, when she looked at Lou Baiqing's serious face, she fell into deep contemplation.

'Balmond is very ferocious towards the humans. If what Lou Baiqing said about this mysterious human was true, then why did Balmond allow this man to live in Morlon City? Unless...' Demon Empress Ganda's expression suddenly flickered with uncertainty as she thought of something.

'Is Balmond afraid of that human? And is that man really involved with Garland's disappearance?'

Lou Baiqing dared not emit a sound when saw that the Demon Empress was silent.

After a moment of silence, Demon Empress Ganda said. "Follow me back to the Great Demon Empire. I want to see this human myself..."

Lou Baiqing hurriedly nodded his head. "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Tell the elders to guard the territory while I'm away. Get ready. We will depart tomorrow."

Jiu Shen was outside his lotus building, enjoying the warm sunlight as he stared at the busty figure training her martial arts.

Pa! Pa!

The air emitted a snapping sound as Cornelia executed her boxing technique.

She wasn't an expert in body cultivation, so her movements were rather sloppy and unpracticed. Even though she has high endowments in spiritual cultivation, her body's strength was only at the Saint level. Nonetheless, her punches still carried tremendous force despite the lack of technique.

At this moment, Cornelia gritted her teeth as she stared at the human sitting comfortably on his chair.

"Focus on your form and control your anma properly while you execute your boxing stances. Are you really a prodigy? Why do you punch like an idiot?"

Cornelia almost stumbled when she heard Jiu Shen's words.

The succubus stopped her movements and wiped the sweat on her face with a clean handkerchief. She then pouted as she stared at Jiu Shen with a bit of annoyance. "Wine Master Jiu, I'm not proficient in body strengthening. Why are you even asking me to practice this?"

She had been executing the same movements for a few hours and even with her strong inborn physique, she still felt a bit tired.

Jiu Shen leaned on his chair and glanced at the succubus with a tinge of disappointment. "Although you don't have a Divine Body, you have the Succubus Bloodline flowing through your veins. It is already a given for a succubus to have strong spiritual power. However, at the age of six thousand six hundred sixty-nine, your spiritual power is still at the Nascent God Realm! You've wasted your talent cultivating a trash spiritual technique! As for your physical body, aside from it being nice to look at, there is nothing worthy to be praised about..."

Cornelia's eyes turned red in embarrassment. She glared at Jiu Shen while pointing at his face. "You!"

Swoosh!

"Ouch!" Cornelia swiftly grabbed her forehead and felt a small bump. She raised her head and saw Jiu Shen standing in front of her with a calm look on his handsome face.

"It's not good to point at your elders." He muttered.

With a teary eye, Cornelia pursed her lips. "Elder? How old are you then?"

Jiu Shen furrowed his eyebrows and fell into deep thinking. How old was he? In truth, he wasn't also sure about his age, so he casually replied. "About a few billion years old..."

Hearing his words, Cornelia stared at him as if she was looking at an idiot. Who was he fooling? A few billion years old? Did he really think that she was a dumbass?

Jiu Shen sighed when he saw her expression. Even that was just a rough estimate of his age.

"Continue executing the boxing technique. You can only stop if I say so!" Jiu Shen lightly smacked the back of her head. He then went back to his seat while ignoring the sharp look of the succubus.

Cornelia gritted her teeth as she executed the punching routine. Why was she even doing this? She was already strong among the Nascent God Realm experts.

As if he could read what was on her mind, Jiu Shen's voice suddenly echoed beside her ears. "You might be already strong among the Nascent God Realm, but you can still be assassinated by Demon Ancestors and Demon Emperors. If you're not careful, you might even die in just one move. Training your physical body enhances your chances of survival. You can leave if you want, but don't say that I didn't warn you..."

Cornelia was stunned when she heard his words. 'So he is only worried about me? Did my charm finally make him fall for me? Hehe.'

Jiu Shen almost felt like smacking the succubus again when he saw her blushing face.

"Continue for five hours! Stop thinking about other things and maintain your focus! For goodness sake, even that brat Balmond is easier to teach than you!" Jiu Shen felt slightly exasperated teaching the succubus.. If not for his great aspirations, he wouldn't even waste his time with this moron.
