The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 378 - The Delegate From Narda Principality

Chapter 378 - The Delegate From Narda Princ.i.p.ality

"One bottle is 1000 Blood Stones. Don't worry. The price is worth it..." Jiu Shen smiled at Cornelia, making her face turn stiff.

"1000 Blood Stones..." It was not a big amount, but it wasn't small either. However, this was nothing to the relatively well-off crown princess. She just felt that this Wine Master Jiu Shen was quite the miser of an owner.

Long Meili stood up with a mocking smile and went to the wine storage. She felt a bit happy that they could swindle 1000 Blood Stones from this lecherous succubus.

"I wonder why the Great Demon Empire's crown princess is here in my humble store..." Jiu Shen said as he stroked the fur of the sleeping white cat in his arms.

Cornelia adjusted her sitting posture and tucked her bangs behind her ears. Looking at Jiu Shen with the same charming smile, she answered. "I'm only here to taste your wonderful wines. According to my sources, each of your wines has different and unique effects on the consumers. In particular, the Bejeweled Ocean Nectar is surprisingly helpful to those above the Nascent G.o.d Realm."

When Jiu Shen heard her reply, he remained silent. He knew that this crown princess has other motives in coming here. However, he couldn't care less about her. As long as she doesn't do anything outrageous and spend Blood Stones on his wines, then that's all that matters.

Theia who was seated beside Jiu Shen continued giving Cornelia a deathly stare. Although Jiu Shen didn't care about this woman, Theia felt that this succubus was a dangerous foe.

Looking at Theia's cold gaze, Cornelia merely gave her a splendid smile.

"Don't look at me like that, little sister. I won't eat this guy, but if he eats me, how could I resist. Uh~"

Theia's scalp tingled when she heard the succubus moaning at the end of her words. 'She definitely did it on purpose!'

Slam!

A bottle of wine was suddenly slammed on the table.

Cornelia turned her gaze, ignoring the judging look of Long Meili. She focused her attention on the wine. It had an ocean blue color, and despite it still being sealed in the bottle, she could already sense the vigorous amount of true essence within the wine.

'This is without a doubt a treasure!' She exclaimed in her heart.

"Your Majesty, the delegate sent by Narda Princ.i.p.ality has arrived in our borders. At the moment, their group decided to rest in Morlon City, so they would only be here in the capital after two days." Hanzo reported to Emperor Balmond.

"So they could no longer hold back themselves, huh? After eyeing our Bloodfallen Imperial Family for many years, they finally decided to extend their dirty claws in my territory! Hmph!" Emperor Balmond muttered through gritted teeth.

The Crimson Fiend Continent wasn't as peaceful as it seemed to be. There have been traces of internal conflict among them during the last few centuries. Although there were no large conflicts yet, the recent altercations have become much fiercer. It was only a matter of time before the whole continent would be engulfed in war.

The Great Demon Empire currently held the strongest power in the whole Crimson Fiend Continent, but there were rumors that the guardian of Narda Princ.i.p.ality has become a Void G.o.d Realm expert. If this news was true, then the Great Demon Empire's authority would be shaken. After all, they weren't on good terms with this territory.

Hanzo could feel the wrath of the emperor, so he dared not raise his head.

"Who did they send as a delegate?" Emperor Balmond suppressed his fury as he asked the trembling Hanzo.

"It's Demon Ancestor Lou Baiqing! The Narda Princ.i.p.ality also sent five Demon Lords to escort him." Hanzo answered while wiping off his sweat.

"They were actually willing to send that b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Just what are those guys planning that they even decided to send one of their guardians..." Emperor Balmond frowned and was silent for a moment. In the end, he could still not fathom what the Narda Princ.i.p.ality was trying to achieve.

Hanzo who has been quiet for some time suddenly suggested. "Your Majesty, how about we make those guys cause trouble in that lotus building? If they become enemies with that Wine Master Jiu, we would be able to sit at the sidelines and watch the two tigers fight between themselves!"

When Emperor Balmond heard the idea, his eyes lit up. He slammed the armrest of his chair and said. "Brilliant idea! Hanzo, I never thought that you can actually think of such a terrific plan! Hahaha!"

"I don't deserve such praise, Your Majesty." Hanzo bowed his head humbly.

"Good! Put this plan into motion and make sure that those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Narda Princ.i.p.ality will offend Jiu Shen!" Emperor Balmond ordered with a ferocious smile.

Hanzo immediately saluted when he heard the command. "Yes, Your Majesty!"

He then stood up and left the throne room with haste. With his speed, it won't take him long to reach Morlon City.

When Hanzo left, Emperor Balmond was already imagining the battle between Jiu Shen's group and the army of Narda Princ.i.p.ality. However, he suddenly recalled something that made him abruptly stand up from his seat.

"Wait. Cornelia said that she was planning to visit that wine store. She should have arrived there by now. Oh no! She might be caught up in this! s.h.i.+t! I have to go there and get her before anything happens. Nothing must go wrong with the plan! I have to make sure that the plan would proceed smoothly. However, that girl is very stubborn and she would certainly not listen if I send my subordinates to get her. I think I have to go there personally..." Emperor Balmond muttered to himself with a solemn look. He then walked out of the throne room as he cursed in his mind.. Why did he approve his daughter's vacation? It was such a s.h.i.+tty coincidence that it made his temples hurt.
