The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 326 – Gift For His Majesty?
The branch store was now officially opened, but no demons had found the store yet. Although the lotus building was extremely beautiful when viewed from afar, no one dared to approach it as it was located in the Demon Lord Burlock region. Even that brave demon did not dare to set foot near his territory.
Burlock may have seemed weak after his crushing defeat under the hands of Jiu Shen, but he was a tyrant of Morlon City and he was known for his ferocity. Even the other four Demon Lords would hesitate to provoke him.
“See! There was a huge lotus flower in the territory of the Burlock Demon King! It must be a high-level spiritual flower! I wonder what the flower is for..”.
“Woah! It's really beautiful! Demon Lord Burlock is probably preparing this for the upcoming birthday of His Highness the Demon King.”
“Indeed! It seems like Demon King Burlock has been scouting him all along! The four Demon Lords probably wouldn't sit idly by if they found out about this.”.
The surrounding demons chatted amongst themselves as they pointed to the lotus building in the Burlock Demon King's territory.
Among the crowd of demons, a figure wearing a long black robe was seen looking at the lotus building with a contemplating gaze. The figure covered her face with a hood and only the lower part of her face was visible. From what was seen on his face, one could see his dark complexion. His aura was also intimidating, making everyone keep a distance from him. “Is this the lotus building he's talking about?” The figure muttered in silence.
“I will go and check it out after saving young master. Not bad to get acquainted with such a powerful expert. Our Rebel Army needs more people like him ..” The figure whispered to himself before he disappeared in the crowd.

Inside one of the most luxurious residences in Morlon City, a thin, sissy-looking demon sat on a head chair made of human bones. If one took a closer look, the bones in this chair had a golden pattern on its surface, a sign that these were the remains of a Nascent God Realm expert!
The skinny demon looked no different from a human except for the two bronze horns on its head. This demon had a handsome face and he was currently drinking a glass of blood that contained the blood of human experts.
In front of this demon were five burly demons wearing bronze armor. They kneeled respectfully, not even daring to glance at that handsome devil. This person was one of the five Demon Kings of Morlon City, Demon King Zorzoch!
“What brought you here?” Zorzoch asked his subordinates with a smile.
One of the demons answered him immediately. “My lord, we found something unusual in the Demon Lord Burlock region. We don't know what it is, so we decided to tell you about it.”
“Burlock? What's up?” Zorzoch asked curiously after emptying the glass filled with human blood.
“We patrolled Morlon City as usual, and when we passed the Demon Lord Burlock region, something suddenly caught our attention. It was a huge blue lotus with nine petals! Even from afar, we could already smell her alluring fragrance, and coupled with her beautiful appearance, we assumed that it was a spiritual plant of very high value!” The demon reported in a voice full of admiration.
Zorzoch was initially uninterested in Burlock's affairs, but when he heard the words of his subordinates, his eyes suddenly sparkled. “Spiritual plant with priceless value? How interesting! It looks like Burlock will go to great lengths to please His Majesty on his upcoming birthday. Prepare my train. I'll go and check this lotus flower personally.” He ordered with a smile.
Not only Zorzoch, the remaining Demon King, Demon King Zagan, Demon King Azgonoth, and even the elusive Demon King Physoris were also told about the ‘ lotus’ flower.
They all prepared their carriages. They planned to visit the Burlock region to see the lotus flowers praised by their subordinates.
Not too long later, almost everyone in Morlon City had heard about ‘lotus’ flowers, but aside from the four Demon Lords, only a few dared to decide to check them up close.
“Hei! Have you ever seen a lotus flower in the Demon Lord Burlock region?”
“What lotus flowers are you talking about?”
“I saw a beautiful blue lotus in the territory of the Demon King Burlock and everyone who saw it speculated that the Demon King Burlock was preparing it for His Majesty's birthday!”
“What?! There is actually such a thing?! I'll go and see it!”

Blue whose eyes were tightly closed suddenly stood up and stared behind the shop fence. He narrowed his eyes as he looked into the distance. “Meimei, Xiaoxiao, tell Burlock to get ready. Our first customer will be arriving soon.” He said to the two girls who were still busy chatting amongst themselves.
“Yes, Blue Sister!” The two replied before running towards Burlock who was now inside the wine cellar.
“Devil is ugly, Sister Blue ordered us to prepare. We have customers coming soon.” Meimei said to Burlock who was busy admiring the wine inside the wine storage. He had thought of stealing a few bottles, but he immediately threw away the idea. It would be fine if Jiu Shen did not find him, but if he did find him, then his life might not exist anymore…
Burlock's wine fantasy is suddenly shattered by Meimei's annoying voice. He desperately turned his eyes to the girl. He controlled himself from slapping this little girl and put on a desperate smile. “Yes! Yep! Yep! I'll go out and prepare to welcome our guests!”
“Hmph! You don't have to do that. You might scare them with your cow-like appearance! Sister Blue is responsible for greeting them, your task is to accept our guest order.” Meimei said with his hands crossed.
Burlock's face twitched, but he still managed to nod his head. “Good. No problem!”
Meimei nodded his head arrogantly after seeing that Burlock was obedient.
