The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 386 Garland's Greed
“Have you ever heard of the tournament held by Wine Master Jiu Shen? According to my friend, the prizes for the top three winners are numerous! Some top experts even joined the competition! Even Princess Cornelia signed up for the Heaven Battle category !”
“Of course! Who has never heard of it! It had become the most talked about topic by everyone in Morlon City. Even the entire Great Demon Kingdom had heard of it. From what I know, the competition will start today. We still have time to go to the lotus building and watch the battle!”
“Really! However, a lotus building would take 100
Blood Stone as entrance fee. That's a bit expensive for me.”
The tournament organized by Jiu Shen had become extremely popular. There was a large crowd of people around the lotus building. The small fish that had been lazing in the pond even had to come out to help supervise the building. If not for the small fish watching the crowd, the scene would have been chaotic.
Normally, only a few dozen individuals could be seen inside Jiu Shen's shop every day, but this time, the spacious hall could barely accommodate many people. To solve this problem, Jiu Shen immediately moved everyone to the third floor where the space was much larger. Even a few ten thousand people could fit inside this place.
At this moment, the third floor had been split into two. This was to separate the Battle of Heaven and the Battle of Earth. There are four arenas in each category of battle. With this, the tournament can progress faster.
Seeing the noisy crowd chatting nonstop, Jiu Shen glanced at Blue, Meimei, and the gathered Xiaoxiao standing nearby. “Blue, announce the start of the tournament. Meimei, Xiaoxiao, you two will be monitoring the crowd. Make sure nothing unexpected happens.”
“Ya sir!”
The three girls nodded their heads and quickly left to do their duty.
After seeing everything one last time, Jiu Shen's figure disappeared.
He then reappeared above the lotus building. With Yue Bo personally watching over the tournament, she was not worried that there would be any mistakes.
“Now the tournament has begun, it's time to do something about that demon. He has been sneaking around my sarang for some time now. I have to give him a good scare.” Jiu Shen muttered calmly. Over the past few weeks, he noticed that the Void God Realm expert from Narda Kingdom had been trying to sneak into his garden.
***
Garland was getting anxious. He really wanted to steal the spiritual plant from Jiu Shen's garden, but it was heavily guarded by a sweeper named Yue Bo so he didn't even have a chance to approach it.
The thing he wanted to steal was the spiritual plant in Jiu Shen's garden. Although he did not know what it was, when he visited Jiu Shen's shop for a drink, it was the first thing that caught his attention.
It was a round-shaped spiritual plant that was deep red in color. Even from a distance, he had already sensed an enormous vitality within the spiritual plant. His first thought after directing his gaze was to consume it! His instincts told him that if he ate the thing, he could advance in his cultivation by leaps and bounds!
However, there was a huge obstacle that prevented him from stealing the spiritual plants. It was a sweeper named Yue Bo! That person made Jiu Shen's garden his home, tirelessly weeding and cleaning it from time to time. He hated so much that Garland always cursed him in his heart.
“No! This is not going to work! I have to get it! With the presence of Yue Bo and Jiu Shen in Morlon City, it was impossible for me to complete my original plan. Now that the opportunity for me has arrived. , how could I not do something?” Garland stood up and opened the window of her room. He stared towards the lotus building when a brilliant thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
“Today is the start of Jiu Shen tournament. I heard that Yue Bo would personally supervise the competition, so she should not be in the park. Only a few ants of the Nascent God Realm should be there by now! As for Jiu Shen, he might observe the progress of the tournament..This is my best chance!” Garland's eyes shone with excitement.
After preparing his equipment, he quietly dashed out of their temporary residence. With his strength, it was not difficult to remain hidden from the eyes of those who were much weaker than him.
It didn't even take long for him to arrive near the lotus building. From his place, he could already see a large crowd around the shop. Even outside the iron fence, people were still seen wandering around.
“I had to use the crowd and hide among them as I stole that spiritual plant. I don't feel any strong experts nearby, so it should be safe now.” Garland's eyes were reddened. A frenzied expression seemed to light up inside the balls. He had been enveloped by his greed!
He took off his fancy clothes and changed into his usual looking clothes. With this, he should be able to sneak amongst the crowd, undetected.
“Good. Time to go!” Garland said as she carefully moved with the crowd. He even talked to some of them to look like he was interested in the tournament.
Garland felt like burning down this whole place, but she calmed down. Doing so would only blow his cover and he might fail to obtain a spiritual plant. With a determined look, he moved past the crowd and finally reached the park.
It was still densely populated, and he even saw some New God Realm women eyeing the crowd with hostile gazes.
‘They should have been responsible for guarding this park while Yue Bo was not here, but they could not stop me.’ Garland murmured coldly in her heart.
