The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 402 - One Surprise After Another

"Cornelia? You mean the crown princess of the Great Demon Empire?" The Demon Empress had a perplexed look as she stared at the succubus who was lifting the compressed metal ball with a face full of sweat.

Lou Baiqing nodded his head. Suddenly, his face stiffened when he saw the figure seated on a chair behind the succubus.

"Your Majesty, you see that man sitting on a chair? That's the owner of this lotus building and everyone calls him Wine Master Jiu Shen." Lou Baiqing said while pointing at the silver-haired youth who was holding a bottle of wine.

Demon Empress Ganda narrowed her eyes as she scrutinized Jiu Shen. The young man was handsome even by her standards of beauty. However, what surprised her more was the man himself. She felt like she was just looking at an ordinary human. Strange.

Suddenly, a beautiful girl in her early twenties came out and walked towards them. Her face was full of wariness as she stared at Lou Baiqing and Demon Empress Ganda. "Hey, you two! Why are you suspiciously looking at my master's garden? Are you guys planning to steal his spiritual plants?!"

The faces of the two demons stiffened when they heard the girl. They were actually suspected as thieves?

"Little Sister, we just came to Morlon City and we were fascinated by this lotus building's architectural design. Whoever made this must be an artistic and talented person. Furthermore, we have so many Blood Stones, so why would we still someone's spiritual plants?" Lou Baiqing stepped forward as he hurriedly explained. He was quite eloquent and well-versed in communicating with other races, so he was able to come up with a random excuse.

Upon hearing his words, the girl's face eased up and she smiled. "Hehe. My master was the one who made this lotus building. Everything you see here, including the garden is his creation! He is a true genius!" She said with a proud tone of voice.

Lou Baiqing nodded his head exaggeratedly as he replied. "Indeed. Little Sister, is there still any available spot for the two of us inside?"

The girl nodded her head as she answered. "The first floor might be at full capacity, but looking at you guys, your strength is beyond the Nascent God Realm, right?"

Hearing this, Lou Baiqing took a quick glance at the Demon Empress before he nodded his head. "That's right. What about it?"

"In that case, you guys can go to the store's second floor. The environment there is much better than on the first floor. There are a few things there that might even help you improve your cultivation." The girl said mysteriously.

Lou Baiqing and Demon Empress Ganda merely smiled at her words. With their cultivation, there are only a few things that could help them enhance their strength. As for what she said, they just took it as an advertisement for the wine store.

"Thank you for the information, Little Sister. Oh, right! What's your name?" Lou Baiqing asked politely.

The girl smiled at him and answered with a cheerful voice. "Just call me Ivy. I'm a temporary gardener here."

Gardener? A Nascent God Realm expert is proud of being a gardener? Is this girl an idiot??Of course, Lou Baiqing wouldn't dare say it out loud.

"Little Sister Ivy, we won't bother you anymore. Thank you." Lou Baiqing said before he turned to look at the Demon Empress.

Ivy nodded her head and left.

"Take me to the second floor of this lotus building. As for the owner, we can talk with him later." Demon Empress Ganda calmly said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lou Baiqing replied. He then brought her inside the lotus building while occasionally staring at the spiritual plants in the garden. Even until now, he was still envious and fascinated by this garden. Behind him, the Demon Empress also kept on looking at the spiritual plants. She felt her heart beating wildly when her gaze stopped on those Void-rank spiritual plants.

When the two came inside the store, they saw a huge hall with dozens of tables and hundreds of chairs. Everything inside this place from furniture to utensils screamed luxury.

The hall was packed with customers, but the place still appeared to be spacious. Everyone chattered with smiles on their faces as they drank their cups filled with wine.

To the surprise of Lou Baiqing and the Demon Empress, they discovered that although everyone was chatting, none of them dared to create too much of a noise and ruckus. It was very perplexing since they knew the wild personality of their demon brethren.

How could they act like cultured individuals? It didn't fit their ferocious faces at all!

"Welcome, dear guests! Is it your first time coming here?" A blue-haired girl came up to them and politely greeted the two.

Lou Baiqing and Demon Empress Ganda unconsciously nodded their heads.

"The first floor has been fully occupied, but since you guys have cultivation levels above the Nascent God Realm, I can take you guys to the second floor." Blue said with a smile. She could sense the Origin God Realm cultivation of the male demon, but she couldn't discern the strength of the woman behind him.

"Alright. It's our first time here, so please lead the way." Lou Baiqing said with a smile. This girl was a peak stage Nascent God Realm. She was just a step away from the Origin God Realm!

First was the gardener, and then, this young lady. The both of them are Nascent God Realm experts. Are all the employees of the wine store this strong?

Blue led the two demons upstairs where they met a cold-faced blonde-haired young lady guarding the entrance of the second floor. She had a black armor filled with battle marks, making her look like a valiant warrior.

Seeing her, Lou Baiqing furrowed his eyebrows. Peak stage Origin God Realm?

Similarly, Demon Empress Ganda also felt slightly threatened by this girl's aura. Although her cultivation level was lower than her own, the Demon Empress sensed a hint of danger coming from this young lady.. There must be something about this valiant woman that made her feel threatened.
