The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 380 Demon Emperor Garland
Emperor Balmond was feeling nervous at this moment. Her daughter actually pointed at Jiu Shen's nose as she yelled at him!
‘My dear daughter. Are you trying to get our Bloodfallen family killed?’ The emperor felt sorry for approving Cornelia's holiday leave. If he knew that something like this would happen, he would definitely not give his approval.
As he carefully thought of a solution, Emperor Balmond anxiously pulled his daughter behind him and glanced at Jiu Shen apologetically. “Wine Master Jiu, forgive my daughter's rudeness. He had been on the battlefield for quite some time and he had just returned from duty, so he had no idea about your prowess. I'll talk to him for a minute. We'll be back.” in a few minutes. Please excuse me first.”.
Emperor Balmond did not care if he lost face. As long as they could escape the imminent death, then it was for the best.
Jiu Shen looked at Emperor Balmond who was now pulling his daughter out of the shop. She had a curious expression on her face as she stroked the sleeping white cat on her arm.
Outside the shop.
“Dad, why did you take me out? The man spoke to you as if he was someone superior!” Cornelia frowned unhappily. This was the first time he had seen his father acting in such an embarrassing manner! He can't take it!
Emperor Balmond's face turned pale and he immediately slapped Cornelia.
Pa!
Cornelia held her face in surprise as she looked at her father with an angry look.
“Enough! I thought you were smart, but I was wrong about you! Have you not noticed it yet? That man Jiu Shen was not a Void God Realm expert! He even has subordinates whose strength is almost on par with mine! My genius ***! Have you been blinded by the stupid praise that has clouded your judgment to this degree?! Disappointing!” Emperor Balmond glared at his daughter ferociously as he reprimanded her in a harsh tone.
Cornelia who was about to curse, almost choked upon hearing her father's words. Exactly right. Why didn't he think of this? He remembered the man who told him that he was only Jiu Shen's sweeper. He guessed that the man was a Void God Realm expert because of his different qualities. However, he wasn't sure at the time, so he didn't think too much about it. As for Jiu Shen, he tried to gauge the man's strength, but he failed to discern it even after observing it closely. He thought that he was the most equal to his father. Now, he realized how naive he was for underestimating them too much.
Right now, Cornelia felt her father's slap was no longer sick. It was sure to wake him up from his stupidity. If he provoked Jiu Shen at that moment, their Bloodfallen Family might no longer exist in this world. Even the Great Demon Empire would probably be destroyed along with them.
“Dad, forgive me. I became arrogant after becoming a Demon King. I will accept your punishment.” Cornelia looked at Emperor Balmond with watery eyes. He felt sorry for his actions. He should have investigated Jiu Shen's strength before he acted.
Emperor Balmond felt his heart ache when he saw his daughter's regretful expression. He rubbed his head gently as he said. “No problem. Everything will still be fine because it has not increased. Make sure you will apologize to Wine Master Jiu Shen once we return to the store.”
“Yes, dad. I'll make sure nothing goes wrong this time.” Cornelia avoided her father's gaze. He felt ashamed of himself. He was considered an absolute genius in the entire Red Demon Continent, but he acted like an idiot in front of Jiu Shen.
“Good. Let's go back inside. Make sure you will do what you promise.” Emperor Balmond smiled kindly at him.
Although Cornelia was feeling sad, she felt very happy because this was the first time her father showed her a gentle smile.
The father and son duo slowly walked inside the lotus building. Their hearts were in a state of anxiety at the unknown. They were not sure how Jiu Shen reacted after the joke.

Somewhere in Morlon City, a tall and huge demon with dark red skin suddenly raised his head. He narrowed his eyes into a crack and carefully observed the distant sky. He could feel a powerful aura moving at lightning speed! ‘Aura this.. Definitely Balmond. Did he know of my arrival? No, it's not possible. So why did he suddenly come here in Morlon City?’
“Demon Emperor Garland, is something wrong?” The skinny and handsome devil walked up to him and asked. This is Lou Baiqing who according to Hanzo is the leader of the delegation of the Narda Kingdom. However, this demon who was also the Demon Ancestor and the guard of Narda Kingdom was now acting like the subordinate of this red-skinned demon!
It should be noted that only those in the Void God Realm can be referred to as ‘Devil Emperor’. That means, this red-skinned demon that Demon Ancestor Lou Baiqing referred to as Garland was truly an expert of the Void God Realm!
Garland shook her head and continued to lead her group towards their temporary resting place. They had to leave while Emperor Balmond had not seen them or their plan would fail. “This is not the best place to talk. Let's go back to our resting place first. Also, Lou Baiqing, have one of your subordinates gather information regarding Morlon City.”
Originally, Garland did not treat this city well, but Emperor Balmond going here felt a little suspicious. He wondered what his old enemy was up to this point.. ‘Balmond, you became careless after living a luxurious life for so many years. Ha ha ha!’
