“So you’ve killed him…” Demon Empress Ganda sighed as he looked at Jiu Shen with a complicated gaze. Initially, she wanted to avenge Garland for his death, but when she discovered that she couldn’t even discern Jiu Shen’s power, she immediately discarded those thoughts. This man was a lot stronger than her!
Jiu Shen shrugged his shoulders as he replied with a bit of embarrassment. “I wanted him to work as a gardener under me, but that guy was strongly against it. He was very violent, so I had no choice but to scare him a bit. However, the guy actually died when I released my aura. I didn’t kill him on purpose though…”
Hearing this, Demon Empress Ganda’s face twitched.
Garland died when this guy released his aura? Do you think I would believe that? Although Garland was just a newly ascended Void God Realm expert, even she would find it difficult to kill him. And now, Jiu Shen is telling her that he killed Garland with just his aura? Did he think that she was an idiot?
When Jiu Shen saw Demon Empress Ganda’s doubtful expression, he waved his hand and took out Garland’s corpse. It was still in perfectly preserved condition.
The Demon Empress’ eyes widened in shock when she saw Garland’s body in front of her. She scrutinized his corpse using her spiritual vision, but she discovered no internal nor surface wounds. However, when she checked Garland’s heart and brain, she realized that Jiu Shen might not be lying. Could it be that he truly killed Garland by merely releasing his aura?! That was absurd! Even those above the Void God Realm could not do that! Unless…
Demon Empress Ganda felt her heart shivering when her thoughts reached that point. She could not help but glance at Jiu Shen who was looking at Garland’s corpse with a hint of regret.
Ehem!
Demon Empress Ganda cleared her throat. She then glanced while putting on a calm look. “Wine Master Jiu, Garland may have coveted your spiritual plant, but do you really have to kill him?”
Jiu Shen turned his gaze at the Demon Empress. His face was calm, but it frightened her silly. She could even feel her feet slowly getting cold.
“But since Wine Master Jiu didn’t intentionally do it and besides, Garland is also at fault for trying to steal your spiritual plant. I won’t pursue this matter any further, but I hope that I can take his corpse with me. He might be foolish, but he had been a loyal subordinate.” The Demon Empress could only compromise while nervously looking at Jiu Shen. She regretted not waiting for Lou Baiqing. If he was here, they could at least share the pressure…
Jiu Shen was inwardly laughing in his heart. This girl was still trying to put on a calm facade when he could clearly sense her nervousness. She was too cute…
Maybe I could bully this girl…
He was getting addicted to this especially after bullying the succubus for many days. It was fun…
“Yes, you can, but my garden… You have seen it yourself. It is quite large and the spiritual plants in it made many people feel greedy. A few young ladies at the Nascent God Realm might be guarding it now, but they are still too weak to protect it against stronger individuals. That was why I tried to ask Garland to become my gardener…”
As the Demon Empress continued to listen, she felt like things might not go according to her plans. It was as if she was dancing in the palm of Jiu Shen’s hand. It felt truly uncomfortable, but she couldn’t do anything about it since Jiu Shen was too powerful! Even the whole Narda Principality might be eradicated if he was angered! She didn’t want this to happen.
“But since Garland is now dead, how about you take his place instead?” Jiu Shen sincerely glanced at the Demon Empress. He had checked this girl earlier and noticed that she was a bit talented. She also possessed a strong bloodline that might be related to the Vampiric Fire Demons. He wasn’t sure though since he has yet to see her dantian.
Hearing his words, the Demon Empress felt her mind going crazy. How can he say it so calmly?
Demon Empress Ganda regretted going here to Morlon City. She shouldn’t have gone here to see this devil! He was the incarnation of a Demonic God! Wait… She was the demon here, but why did she feel like Jiu Shen was more of a demon than her?
“This… You’re joking, right?” Demon Empress Ganda stared at Jiu Shen while smiling stiffly behind her veil.
Jiu Shen who was seated on his chair suddenly stood up and moved closer to the Demon Empress. He smiled evilly at her as he whispered. “Do you think I’m joking with you right now, Little Girl Ganda?”
The Demon Empress took a step back and she finally could not hold back her fearful look, but a look of defiance slowly covered her face as she glared at Jiu Shen. “I’d rather di-“
“Vampiric Fire Demon, that’s the bloodline running in your veins, right? You must have gotten it from one of your parents… What a pity… I wanted to give you a surprise, but it seems like you don’t want to…” Jiu Shen said with a look of regret.
“You! How did you know that!? Everything related to us should have been erased already! Just who are you?!” Demon Empress Ganda had a look of terror as she pointed at Jiu Shen. This man was actually able to see through her bloodline. She didn’t even discover how he did it!
Jiu Shen raised his arms innocently. “I’m just a winemaker. You don’t need to be so tense.”
No need to be tensed? After all you said?
Demon Empress Ganda suddenly felt like she was being played with. Is this guy making fun of me? For the first time in her life, she wanted to cry her heart out….
