Chapter 345 – Offending Demon Ancestor Jun
“Lord Demon Ancestor, do you want me to investigate this newly ascended Nascent God Realm savage beast?” Zagan stared at Demon Ancestor Jun and waited for his command. However, the old demon shook his head in reply.
“There is no need for that. As long as that beast won’t involve itself in the affairs of Morlon City, then I will not do anything. However… If it ever sets foot in my city, I will slaughter it and feast on its flesh!” The old demon said with a calm tone as he descended back to the ground.
Zagan and the other three Demon Lords stared at each other with unreadable expressions on their faces.
“Let’s go. I still have yet to finish the wine that I’ve ordered.” Zorzoch chuckled lightly as he descended to the ground. The other three then followed behind him.
“Burlock, we don’t have time to linger here anymore. Pack our orders and deliver them to our residences.” Demon Ancestor Jun glanced at Burlock with a cold look on his aged face. The commanding tone in his voice made Burlock scream curses in his heart, but he was all smiles at the moment as he replied with a look of difficulty. ‘Here it comes…’
“Lord Demon Ancestor, as much as I would love to do that, unfortunately, Wine Master Jiu Shen told me that takeouts aren’t allowed.”
Demon Ancestor Jun’s aged face darkened considerably upon hearing his words. “What did you say?!”
“Burlock, surely you won’t follow this stupid rule, right? What kind of store wouldn’t allow their customers to order takeout?” Zagan snorted at the sidelines as he glared at Burlock.
“Stupid rule? Who do you think you are to speak so lightly of the master’s rules?! How dare you act so haughty here, giant buffoon!?” Xiaoxiao grimly stared at Zagan, making the giant feel as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Blue and Meimei also wore solemn expressions on their faces. They might have been ordered by Jiu Shen to treat their guests with respect, but they will never tolerate someone disrespecting their master!
Zorzoch, Azgonoth, and Physoris were surprised by the sudden shift in the ladies’ mood. They secretly chuckled at Zagan for they knew that the giant had stepped on horse shit this time.
‘So even someone as smart as you would make this kind of mistake. Hehe.’ Burlock gloated in his heart. Even he had always been on the losing end against Xiaoxiao, so he was glad that someone could share the same fate as him…
“Enough!” Demon Ancestor Jun shouted angrily, making everyone inside the store shut up. He then shifted his gaze back to Burlock as he asked.
“Burlock, is this your final decision? Do you really want to go against me?” Demon Ancestor Jun was feeling threatened for no reason. He didn’t know why he was having this kind of mixed emotions after witnessing the ascension of a savage beast to the Nascent God Realm. He felt that there might be changes to Morlon City starting this moment. That was also why there was a sudden change to his calm mood.
Burlock gulped hard after being stared at by the old demon. In truth, he did not want to offend the Demon Ancestor for he knew that behind this old man’s calm facade was the face of a brutal demon. However, after experiencing the power of Jiu Shen, he dared not go against his new boss.
“Forgive me, Lord Demon Ancestor. I am grateful to you for guiding me before, but I cannot betray the man who healed my wounds.” Burlock bullshitted through gritted teeth.
Demon Ancestor Jun stared silently at Burlock for a moment before he said. “Very well. I hope I can meet this Wine Master Jiu Shen soon. I want to see what kind of man this person is. Hopefully, he won’t disappoint me…”
Demon Ancestor Jun stood up and walked out of the store with heavy strides. The four Demon Lords immediately followed behind him, but they did not forget to look at Burlock with meaningful gazes.
“Wait!” Xiaoxiao grabbed Zagan’s clothes and opened the palm of her right hand as she said.
“You guys haven’t paid yet…” She smirked coldly as she spoke those words.
Zagan’s large pair of eyes twitched at the sight of her face and he had the urge to slap this girl into smithereens. He took a deep breath and grabbed a huge pile of Blood Stones from his spatial artifact. He then gave it to Xiaoxiao with a dark look on his face.
Xiaoxiao smiled widely as she received the payment. “Thank you for your patronage, dear guests! Please come back again!”
Zagan snorted in response before leaving the store.
Sigh!
Burlock sighed heavily as he plopped down on a chair. “We have thoroughly offended the Demon Ancestor and the four Demon Lords. Would Wine Master Jiu Shen be fine? I mean those people are the kind who seeks revenge. They have been humiliated here, so they would certainly come back with evil intentions…”
“Hmph! What are you afraid of, you coward?! Those fools are nothing to master! And besides, I would love it if they come back as enemies for my sisters are already hungry. Hehehe.” Xiaoxiao chuckled eerily as she kept the Blood Stones.
“What do you mean?” Burlock stared at her with knitted eyebrows.
“Of course you know what I mean, ugly bastard! Hehehe.” Xiaoxiao smirk derisively.
“Enough of that talk, Xiaoxiao. We must inform the master about this upon his arrival. He should be informed about what happened earlier. Don’t do anything foolish without the master’s commands.” Blue flicked Xiaoxiao’s forehead as she reprimanded the girl.
Ow! Ow!
Xiaoxiao rubbed her forehead as she nodded her head at Blue.

Within a huge castle in the central parts of the Crimson Fiend Continent, a man was seated on a throne made of bones from strong creatures. He was wearing a mask made from a dragon’s head and his body was covered by a long black robe. Beneath him were ten individuals prostrating at him in worship.
The masked man lifted his head and stared in the direction of Morlon City. His pair of ember eyes were flickering like a violently burning flame. No one knew what he was thinking and there was only silence within this dark great hall….
