The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 378 The Messenger of the Kingdom of Narda
“One bottle is 1000 Blood Stones. Don'worry. The price was worth it.” Jiu Shen smiled at Cornelia, making her face stiff.
“1000 Blood Stones..” That's not a big amount, but it's also not small. However, this was nothing to the relatively wealthy crown princess. He only felt that this Wine Master Jiu Shen was quite miserly from its owner.
Long Meili stood up with a mocking smile and went to the wine cellar. He felt a little happy that they could fool 1000 Blood Stones from this depraved succubus.
“I wonder why the crown princess of the Great Demon Kingdom is here, in my simple shop..” Jiu Shen said as she stroked the fur of the white cat sleeping on her arm.
Cornelia adjusted her sitting posture and slipped her bangs behind her ears. Looking at Jiu Shen with the same charming smile, he replied. “I'm here just to taste your amazing wine. According to my sources, each of your wines has a different and unique effect on the consumer. In particular, the Bejeweled Sea Nectar surprisingly helped those above the Nascent God Realm.”
When Jiu Shen heard his reply, he remained silent. He knew that this crown princess had another motive to come here. However, he couldn't help but care about her. As long as he did not do anything outrageous and spent the Blood Stones on his wine, then that was all that mattered.
Theia who sat beside Jiu Shen continued to stare at Cornelia with a deadly gaze. Although Jiu Shen did not care about this woman, Theia felt that this succubus was a dangerous enemy.
Looking at Theia's cold gaze, Cornelia simply gave her a beautiful smile.
“Don't look at me like that, sister. I won't eat this guy, but if he eats me, how can I refuse him. Uh~”
Theia's scalp was amused when she heard the succubus groan at the end of her words. ‘He must have done it on purpose!’
Slam it!
A bottle of wine was suddenly slammed on the table.
Cornelia averted her gaze, ignoring the judgmental gaze from Long Meili. He focused his attention on the wine. It had a sea-blue color, and although it was still sealed within the bottle, he could already feel a strong amount of true essence within the wine.
‘This is without a doubt a treasure!’ He cried out in his heart.

“Your Majesty, the delegation sent by the Narda Kingdom has arrived at our border. Currently, their group decided to rest in Morlon City, so they would only be here in the capital after two days.” Hanzo reports to Emperor Balmond.
The Crimson Fiend Continent was not as peaceful as it seemed. There have been traces of internal conflict between them over the past few centuries. Although there has not been a major conflict, the recent bickering has become much fiercer. It was only a matter of time before the entire continent was war-torn.
The Great Demon Empire currently held the strongest power in the entire Crimson Fiend Continent, but there were rumors that the guard of the Narda Kingdom had become a Void God Realm expert. If this news were true, then the Great Demon Empire's authority would be shaken. After all, they were not on good terms with this region.
Hanzo could feel the wrath of the emperor, so he did not dare to raise his head.
“Who did they send as a delegate?” Emperor Balmond held back his anger as he asked the trembling Hanzo.
“That Demon Ancestor Lou Baiqing! Narda Kingdom also sent five Demon Kings to escort her.” Hanzo answered while wiping his sweat.
“They are actually willing to send that? What were those people planning so they decided to send one of their guardians.” Emperor Balmond frowned and fell silent for a while. In the end, he still could not understand what the Narda Kingdom was trying to accomplish.
Hanzo who had been silent for some time suddenly suggested. “Your Majesty, how about we make those people cause trouble in that lotus building? If they become enemies with that Wine Lord Jiu, we will be able to sit on the sidelines and watch the two tigers fighting amongst themselves!”
When Emperor Balmond heard the idea, his eyes twinkled. He slammed the armrest of his chair and said. “The brilliant idea! Hanzo, I never thought that you could really think of such a great plan! Hahaha!”
“I don't deserve such praise, Your Highness.” Hanzo lowered his head humbly.
“Good! Run this plan and make sure from Narda Kingdom it will offend Jiu Shen!” Emperor Balmond commanded with a ferocious smile.
Hanzo immediately saluted upon hearing the order. “Yes Your Majesty!”
He then stood up and left the throne room in a hurry. With his speed, he did not take long to reach Morlon City.
When Hanzo left, Emperor Balmond had already imagined a battle between Jiu Shen's group and the Narda Kingdom's army. However, he suddenly recalled something that made him suddenly stand up from his seat.
“Wait. Cornelia said she planned to visit the wine shop. He should have gotten there by now. Oh no! He might be stuck in this! Damnit damnit! I have to go out there and pick her up before anything happens. There is nothing wrong with the plan! I have to make sure that the plan goes well. However, the girl was very stubborn and she would definitely not listen if I sent my subordinates to pick her up. I think I should go there personally.. Emperor Balmond muttered to himself with a serious look. He then walked out of the throne room while cursing in his mind.. Why would he approve of his daughter's vacation? It was such a bad coincidence that it left his temple injured.
