The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 407 Fainting Due to Heatstroke
Lou Baiqing was silent. She thought that the Demon Empress would be the one to pay for them, but she ended up being the one to pay for their wine.
“Sister Blue, can I get one more bottle of Bejeweled Sea Nectar?” Lou Baiqing called out to the blue haired young lady.
‘He is just a servant of this store even with the peak stage of cultivation of the Nascent Gods realm. In our region, people like him have a high position.’ Lou Baiqing thought to herself while observing Blue. Although he was a ferocious beast, Lou Baiqing did not mind getting acquainted with him. After all, this girl is not weak! The crown princess of the Great Demon Kingdom, Princess Cornelia might not even be her opponent!
“Good. Is there anything you want?” Blue asked Lou Baiqing while looking at her with a smile.
Lou Baiqing shook her head at him.
‘Your Highness may still be discussing something with Wine Master Jiu Shen at the moment, so I'd better drink one more wine here before I go out.’ He thought to himself as he looked towards Blue who was going to the wine storage.
While waiting for his wine, Lou Baiqing observed the customer on the first floor. After examining everyone, he noticed that most of them were Saint-rank experts and below. However, there were some cultivators of the Newborn God Realm hidden among them. Lou Baiqing was also familiar with one of them. That's Leaf! According to the rumors he heard, this person was ranked second in Heaven Battle! He only lost against General Nangong in the last match! This elf was one of the strongest individuals under the Origin God Realm.
At this moment, Lou Baiqing saw that Leaf was talking to some experts of the Nascent God Realm. They seem to be talking about something important.
Lou Baiqing was curious about what they were talking about, but she did not dare to eavesdrop on this place. There are too many strong people guarding this place!
“I want to know what those people are talking about ..” He muttered while looking at Leaf's group.
“This is your Bejeweled Sea Nectar. Enjoy.” Blue smiled as she placed a bottle of wine on Lou Baiqing's table.
“Thank you, Sister Blue!”
In another corner of the place, Leaf sat down together with the top participants from Heaven Battle. Six of them include Leaf. The other five were ranked sixth to tenth in the final Battle of Heaven. They were extremely powerful amongst the experts of the Nascent God Realm!
At this moment, they were discussing about forming a team to search for treasures in the Sacred Beast Continent.
“Brother Torgrim, are you sure that the Torgrim Family has a teleportation array formation that can take us to the Sacred Beast Continent?” Leaf asked the muscular demon with a doubtful look. He could not trust these people because they had just known each other. It was foolish for him to trust the people he had just met. Moreover, he had already obtained a fair betrayal after leaving the territory of the elves.
The other four also turned their gazes towards the demon surnamed Torgrim. This person's family was quite large in the Great Demon Empire. Together with the Lycan Family, they stood shoulder to shoulder with the Bloody Imperial Family.
Leaf and the others nodded their heads at his words.
“Then how do we split the spoils?” One of them asked.
Torgrim Barkary smiled as he replied. “Anyone who can find a treasure or spiritual plant can keep it, but if the group goes hand in hand to acquire a certain item, its distribution will depend on the contribution of everyone. How does it sound?”
Hearing this, Leaf and the others eyes sparkled. This was advantageous to them as they did not need to pay for the teleportation array formation. The only problem was the danger associated with going to the Holy Beast Continent. However, when they thought of the spiritual plants and treasures they could find there, all their doubts dissipated.
“Good. I'm coming!” Leaf was the first to join the team. He was the strongest among the group and he was also confident that he could reach the Origin God Realm before they went to the Heavenly Beast Continent. After all, he ranked second in the Battle of Heaven and he got a precious reward that could help him ascend to the next realm!
‘If these people betray me... Hmph!’ Leaves scoffed in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.
“I'm in!”
“I am too!”
Upon seeing that everyone had agreed to join his team, Torgrim Barkary could only smile broadly. ‘These people are quite strong. With their help, we can collect many plants and spiritual treasures!’
Meanwhile, Lou Baiqing had just finished drinking her wine. After paying the bill with a dejected look, he walked out of the store to look for the Demon Empress. “Where are they? Why aren't they here? This is where we last saw Wine Master Jiu Shen and Princess Cornelia, but I can't even see their shadows now.”.
Lou Baiqing suddenly felt anxious. He walked around the lotus building, but he failed to see Jiu Shen and the Demon Empress. “Sial! Did Your Majesty bring Wine Master Jiu Shen to Hegante City for a private discussion? No way! He will beat me up for not following him immediately.”.
Just as Lou Baiqing was about to leave, she suddenly felt a tremor in the space behind her. He averted his gaze and saw Jiu Shen carrying the unconscious Demon Empress in his hands.
“Quick. I think your boss fell unconscious from heatstroke.”
Hearing this, Lou Baiqing cursed Jiu Shen in her heart. A Void God Realm expert fell unconscious from a heat stroke? As if I would believe you!
