The Immortal’s Wine Store Chapter 380

Chapter 380 - Demon Emperor Garland

Emperor Balmond was feeling nervous at this moment. His daughter was actually pointing at Jiu Shen’s nose as she shouted at him!

‘My dear daughter. Are you trying to get our Bloodfallen family killed?’ The emperor felt regret that he approved of Cornelia’s vacation leave. If he knew that something like this would happen, he would certainly not give her his approval.

As he carefully thought of solutions, Emperor Balmond anxiously pulled his daughter behind him and glanced apologetically at Jiu Shen. “Wine Master Jiu, please pardon my daughter’s rudeness. She has been on the battlefield for quite some time and she had just returned from duty, so she has no idea about your greatness. I will talk to her for a moment. We will come back in a few minutes. Please excuse us first…”

Emperor Balmond didn’t care if he had lost face. As long as they could escape imminent death, then that would be best.

Jiu Shen stared at Emperor Balmond who was now pulling his daughter out of the store. He had an intrigued look on his face as he stroked the sleeping white cat in his arms.

Outside the store.

“Father, why did you bring me outside? That man talked to you like he was someone superior!” Cornelia frowned in displeasure. It was the first time she had seen her father act in a humiliating manner! She couldn’t accept it!

Emperor Balmond’s face turned ashen and he immediately slapped Cornelia.

Pa!

Cornelia held her face in surprise as she stared at her father with an indignant look.

“Enough! I thought you are smart, but I was wrong about you! Have you not realized it yet? That man Jiu Shen is no Void God Realm expert! He even has a subordinate whose strength is almost on par with mine! Genius my ass! Have you been blinded by those idiotic praises that it has clouded your judgment to this degree?! Disappointing!” Emperor Balmond glared ferociously at his daughter as he reprimanded her in a harsh tone.

Cornelia who was about to curse, almost choked herself when she heard her father’s words. That’s right. Why did she not think of this? She recalled the man who told her that he was merely Jiu Shen’s sweeper. She had guessed that the guy was a Void God Realm expert because of his distinct quality. However, she wasn’t certain at that time, so she didn’t think too much about it. As for Jiu Shen, she tried gauging the man’s power, but she failed to discern it even after scrutinizing him carefully. She thought that he was at most on par with her father. Now, she realized how incredibly naive she was for underestimating them so much.

At this moment, Cornelia felt that her father’s slap didn’t hurt anymore. It was definitely to wake her up from her stupidity. If she had provoked Jiu Shen at that time, their Bloodfallen Family might cease to exist in this world. Even the Great Demon Empire might be taken down along with them.

Thinking about it, Cornelia shivered in fright. Luckily, her father was smart enough to notice this or it would have been the end for them.

“Father, I’m so sorry. I’ve become arrogant after becoming a Demon Lord. I will accept your punishments…” Cornelia stared at Emperor Balmond with watery eyes. She felt regretful for her actions. She should have investigated Jiu Shen’s power before she acted.

Emperor Balmond felt his heart aching when he saw the remorseful look of his daughter. He rubbed her head gently as he said. “It doesn’t matter. Everything should still be fine since it hasn’t escalated yet. Make sure that you will apologize to Wine Master Jiu Shen once we come back inside the store.”

“Yes, father. I will make sure that nothing goes wrong this time.” Cornelia avoided her father’s gaze. She felt ashamed of herself. She was regarded as an absolute genius in the whole Crimson Fiend Continent, but she acted like an idiot in front of Jiu Shen.

“Alright. Let’s go back inside. Make sure that you will do as you’ve promised.” Emperor Balmond smiled kindly at her.

Although Cornelia was feeling down, she felt inexplicably happy since this was the first time her father had shown her such a gentle smile.

The father and daughter duo slowly walked inside the lotus building. Their hearts were in a state of anxiety at the unknown. They were unsure how Jiu Shen would react after that farce.

***

Somewhere in Morlon City, a tall and bulky demon with dark red skin suddenly lifted his head. He narrowed his eyes into slits and carefully observed the distant sky. He could sense a strong aura moving at a lightning speed! ‘This aura… It must be Balmond. Did he discover my arrival? No, that’s not possible. So why did he suddenly come here in Morlon City?’

“Demon Emperor Garland, is there anything wrong?” A thin and handsome demon walked up to him and asked. This was Lou Baiqing who Hanzo thought was the leader of Narda Principality’s delegate. However, this demon who was also a Demon Ancestor and a guardian of Narda Principality was now acting like a subordinate of this red-skinned demon!

It must be noted that only those at the Void God Realm can be referred to as ‘Demon Emperor’. That means, this red-skinned demon whom Demon Ancestor Lou Baiqing called Garland was certainly a Void God Realm expert!

Garland shook his head and continued leading his group towards their temporary resting place. They must leave while Emperor Balmond has yet to see them or their plans might be foiled. “This is not the best place to talk. Let’s return to our resting place first. Also, Lou Baiqing, have one of your subordinates gather information related to Morlon City.”

Initially, Garland didn’t treat this city in high regard, but Emperor Balmond going here felt a bit suspicious. He was curious what his long-time enemy was up to this time.. ‘Balmond, you’ve become careless after living in luxury for many years. Hahaha!’

A Heavenly God was transmigrated into a different world right after he died. After arriving in that world, he resides in the body of a handsome young man with a mechanical voice inside his head providing him with missions. It also kept on telling him to brew wine every single day.

The system built a humble store within the territory of the Silver Wing Empire where peak experts roam on a daily basis. His first task was to sell... wine?

The patrons thought that winemaster Jiu Shen was not as simple as he seemed to be. Even his identity and background were still a mystery to everyone.

They also thought the adorable and chubby white cat named Ice was just a normal household cat, but Jiu Shen knew that it was actually a 10th-ranked God-Class Glacial Sovereign Tiger.

Join Jiu Shen on his path on becoming the first ever Wine God!
