The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 389 Luring Balmond To Work As His Weaver
Emperor Balmond looked at Jiu Shen's calm face. He had no idea what this human intention was to bring Garland's corpse here, so the Demon Emperor could only stare at Jiu Shen with an unconvinced look.
Is he trying to show off his power? What does he want to do? Emperor Balmond's head was almost sick from thinking.
“This person slipped in your territory along with a delegation from the Narda Kingdom.” Jiu Shen broke the silence. His words were like alarm bells in Emperor Balmond's ears.
‘Garland is actually connected to the Narda Kingdom! What are those people planning? They even sent the Demon Emperor Garland and also Liu Baiqing who was a peak expert amongst the Demon Ancestors!’ Balmond's eyes narrowed as a thought flashed across his head.
‘Rebellion? They plan to rebel!’ An expression of anger appeared on the Demon Emperor's face as he thought about this. He did not think that the Narda Kingdom was actually hiding an expert of Garland's caliber. Could there be more Void God Realm experts in their ranks?
Without Jiu Shen interfering, he would be in the dark of the matter and he would not be prepared. Fortunately, Garland was somehow killed by Jiu Shen.
“I won't care about your quarrel, but this guy actually dared to sneak into my garden to steal my spiritual plant. I decided to punish him for his actions, but who knew that this man's determination was too weak. I just let it go. My aura and it scared him to death. Originally, I planned to give her a chance and let her work for me, but..It was a pity.” A look of disgust was seen on Jiu Shen's face.
Emperor Balmond forced a stiff smile when he heard his words. Fortunately, Garland died or it would be a disaster if she became Jiu Shen's henchman.
Just as Emperor Balmond was about to say something, Jiu Shen suddenly looked at him and asked. “How about you just work for me? Actually, I'm lacking a sweeper for my garden. You may have seen Yue Bo. I think he's pretty pathetic working alone in my garden. What say?”
Hearing this, Emperor Balmond did not know whether to laugh or cry. So this was the reason Jiu Shen came here. He had already planned to bring her under his command, but as a sweeper? Emperor Balmond almost cursed Jiu Shen as he thought about it.
“Master Wine Jiu, this is a little ..”
“You know why Yue Bo decided to follow me?” Jiu Shen glanced at the hesitating demon with a mysterious smile.
Emperor Balmond was also curious about this. What made him follow Jiu Shen? Even if Jiu Shen was strong, there should not be enough reason to follow him.
“Because he knows that if he follows me, there will be a chance for him. After all, I was the one who helped him break through to the Void God Realm.” Jiu Shen said in a teasing tone.
At this moment, he was like a parent who persuaded a child to buy her sweets. Even he felt ashamed of his actions, but it was necessary for the growth of his faction, so swallow this shame…
This guy took the bait.
Jiu Shen grinned and replied in a calm voice. “I concocted pills for him. That helped him increase his success rate in reaching the Void God Realm ..”
“You purified pills for him? There was actually such a terrifying pill? And you...you are an alchemist!” This realization left Emperor Balmond's mouth agape in shock. What kind of pill did Yue Bo consume that actually helped her advance to the next realm? So aside from being an extremely powerful expert, this human was also a pill refining powerhouse?
Jiu Shen nodded. “I am indeed an alchemist ..”
After hesitating for a moment, an expression of determination flashed in Balmond's eyes. “Grand of Wine Jiu Shen, accept me as your subordinate ..”
Emperor Balmond stood up and bowed respectfully to Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen's smile became clearer as he looked at the demon who was bowing. He then stood up and patted Balmond on the back as he replied. “Good. From now on, you will be working with Yue Bo as a sweeper in my shop. Don'worry. I'm not stingy with gifts as long as you do your job well..”.
Working as a sweeper still made Balmond's face shrivel, but when he heard about the word gift, his eyes suddenly sparkled as he immediately nodded his head towards Jiu Shen. “I will do my job well, Wine Master Jiu Shen!”
“Good! For now, continue to rule the Great Demon Kingdom. When the tournament is over, you can give the throne to Cornelia. Although the little girl's personality is quite unique, her talent is not bad.” Jiu Shen suggested. He had been observing the situation of the Great Demon Empire ever since he came here. Among Balmond's three children, although Cornelia was not the strongest, she was the most capable and suitable to become empress.
Balmond's eyes narrowed, but he nodded in agreement. He had also thought about this for a long time and he agreed with Jiu Shen's suggestion.
His third son, Amon, can be removed from the list. He was the least qualified among the group to become a leader. As for his second son, Artaurus, he felt a little conflicted at the thought of this son.
Artaurus' power has been kept secret. Even Cornelia and Amon did not know about the true strength of their second brother. They only knew that their brother was a sickly individual and had been in a coma for more than a decade. However, they did not know that it was just what their father had made them believe.
Artaurus was not sickly and he was clearly not in a coma. He is currently locked up in a secret dungeon. Balmond also sealed his son's cultivation to prevent him from escaping. As for why he did this, Balmond had his reasons….
