The Immortal's Wine Store,Chapter 401 - Demon Empress Ganda’s Surprise - Read free novels online

The next day, Demon Empress Ganda arrived in Morlon City. Standing behind her was Lou Baiqing dressed in his noble outfit.

Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

Dressed in her most favorite crimson robes with gold and white highlights, Demon Empress Ganda was the focal point of everyone's gazes. Even though she was wearing a veil, the crowd could still see her captivating pair of eyes. Her noble and elegant disposition also made her appear like an ethereal being.

"Who are those two? They look like nobles..."

"That woman looks freakin hot! Look at those eyes..."

"I think that man is Lou Baiqing of the Narda Principality. I heard that he came to Morlon City a few days ago as a delegate. They should be here to discuss something with His Majesty. You guys should watch your mouths or you might get killed without you knowing why."

Lou Baiqing was already used to this scene, so he ignored the crowd's stupefied expressions. However, he was worried that the Demon Empress might be offended by their gazes. He only sighed in relief when he saw that she didn't care.

"Lou Baiqing, can we not fly to that wine store?" Demon Empress Ganda felt slightly uncomfortable under everyone's watchful eyes. As someone who was focused on cultivation, she wasn't used to going out in public. She only comes out of her room when she had something else to do.

Lou Baiqing sweated when he heard her words. Non-citizens of the Great Demon Empire are not allowed to casually fly in key cities of the empire. They would be deemed as enemies if they did that!

"Your Majesty, it is a rule of the Great Demon Empire that non-citizens aren't allowed to fly in key cities. Morlon City is one of the important hubs for trade in the empire, so there are quite a few restrictions here for outsiders. But don't worry. The wine store is nearby, so we can just take a beast carriage to go there." Lou Baiqing explained patiently. He was confident about Demon Empress Ganda's strength, but he didn't want to provoke the mysterious Jiu Shen without knowing his power.

Demon Empress Ganda furrowed her eyebrows, but she still nodded her head. She wasn't an idiot and she could already guess what Lou Baiqing was thinking.

"Alright. Lead the way." She muttered calmly.

Lou Baiqing nodded his head and led her to a transportation building that had luxurious carriages. He made sure that the Demon Empress would not be dissatisfied.

Lou Baiqing acted as the coachman while the Demon Empress sat comfortably inside the carriage. After a while, he then whipped the Saint-rank Dragon Horse and it immediately neighed and started pulling the carriage.

It was a huge savage beast with four muscular legs. Even though it had a dragon bloodline, it was so diluted that it can only serve the purpose of a mount to the nobles.

Inside the carriage, Demon Empress Ganda observed the bustling Morlon City. Although it wasn't as large as Narda Principality's Hegante City, she could see that the citizens here were quite wealthy and strong.

"I can't believe that a boorish man like Balmond can actually make a city this prosperous..." Demon Empress Ganda muttered.

Lou Baiqing chuckled at her words. After observing Morlon City for many days, he knew that the prosperity of the city wasn't Balmond's work. It was the result of Demon Emperor Jun's proper management and skillful ways of negotiating with the merchants.

Demon Empress Ganda heard him chuckling. She frowned and said in a cold tone. "Do you want to say something?"

Lou Baiqing awkwardly smiled as he replied. "No, Your Majesty."

The journey was silent after that short exchange. Lou Baiqing didn't dare say anything again, while the Demon Empress only watched the city's scenery.

Less than an hour later, their carriage stopped in front of a tall metal fence.

Lou Baiqing jumped down and opened the door of the carriage. He then offered a hand to the Demon Empress, but the latter swatted his hand as she jumped down by herself.

She was already a Void God Realm expert! Why would she need someone's help to go down a carriage?

Demon Empress Ganda ignored Lou Baiqing's hurt look and stared at the blooming azure lotus building behind the tall metal fences. It was breathtakingly beautiful and even her private house looked like rubbish in comparison to this building. She then moved her gaze towards the garden outside of the lotus building. It was filled with hundreds of Nascent-rank and Origin-rank spiritual plants! There were even some plants that emitted a strong amount of true essence!

"Void-rank spiritual plants?!" She muttered in shock. This garden actually has Void-rank spiritual plants! She then recalled what Lou Baiqing had told her.

According to him, Garland planned to steal a high-level spiritual from this place. She felt that it was unbelievable, but looking at this garden that was filled with vibrant energy, it seemed like Lou Baiqing did not lie to her. If that's the case, is the owner of this place truly involved with Garland's sudden disappearance?

Thinking about this, Demon Empress Ganda's expression turned solemn. From the looks of it, things might not go as she had planned. How would she face the owner?

'Do I have to attack him? What should I do?' A hint of nervousness crept into her heart. She thought that Lou Baiqing was merely exaggerating things, but from what she was seeing, he still underestimated the owner!

As she was in a dilemma, she soon noticed a succubus holding a strange object in her hands. It looked like a stone, but when she took a careful look, she discovered that it was actually a compressed form of a high-level metal! This thing was heavy!

"What is that girl doing?" She looked over curiously.

Lou Baiqing followed her gaze and saw the crown princess of the Great Demon Empire holding a spherical object in her hands. "Cornelia?"
