The Immortal's Wine Store - Chapter 407 - Fell Unconscious Because Of Heatstroke

Lou Baiqing was speechless. He thought that the Demon Empress would be the one paying for them, but he ended up being the one to pay for their wines.

“Sister Blue, can I get one more bottle of Bejeweled Ocean Nectar, please?” Lou Baiqing called out to the blue-haired young lady.

‘She was just a waitress of this store even with her peak stage Nascent God realm cultivation. In our territory, people like her have high positions…’ Lou Baiqing thought to himself as he scanned Blue. Although she was a savage beast, Lou Baiqing didn’t mind being acquainted with her. After all, this girl wasn’t weak! The crown princess of the Great Demon Empire, Princess Cornelia might not even be her opponent!

“Alright. Is there still anything you want?” Blue asked Lou Baiqing while looking at him with a smile.

Lou Baiqing shook his head at her.

‘Her Majesty might still be discussing something with Wine Master Jiu Shen at this moment, so I should just drink one more wine here before I go outside.’ He thought to himself as he looked at Blue who was going to the wine storage area.

While waiting for his wine, Lou Baiqing scanned the customers on the first floor. After checking everyone, he noticed that most of them were Saint-rank experts and below. However, there were a few Nascent God Realm cultivators hidden among them. Lou Baiqing was also familiar with one of them. It was Leaf! According to the rumors he heard, this guy ranked second in the Heaven Battle! He only lost against General Nangong in the final match! This elf was one of the strongest individuals below the Origin God Realm.

At this moment, Lou Baiqing saw that Leaf was talking with a few Nascent God Realm experts. They seemed to be discussing about something important.

Lou Baiqing was curious about what they were talking about,?but he didn’t dare eavesdrop in this place. There were too many strong people guarding this place!

“I wonder what those guys are discussing…” He muttered while looking at Leaf’s group.

“Here’s your Bejeweled Ocean Nectar. Enjoy.” Blue smiled as she placed the bottle of wine on Lou Baiqing’s table.

“Thank you, Sister Blue!”

On the other corner of the place, Leaf was seated together with the top participants of the Heaven Battle. There were six of them including Leaf. The other five were ranked sixth to tenth in the last Heaven Battle. They were very strong among the Nascent God Realm experts!

At this moment, they were discussing about forming a team to search for treasures in the Divine Beast Continent.

“Brother Torgrim, are you sure that the Torgrim Family has a teleportation array formation that can lead us to the Divine Beast Continent?” Leaf asked a muscular demon with a doubtful look. He couldn’t trust these people since they had just known each other. It would be foolish for him to believe people that he had just met. Besides, he already had his fair share of betrayals after leaving the territory of the elves.

The other four also turned their gazes towards the demon surnamed Torgrim. This guy’s family was quite a big deal in the Great Demon Empire. Together with the Lycan Family, they stood shoulder to shoulder with the Bloodfallen Imperial Family.

“Of course! The family was happy about me placing fifth in the last Heaven Battle, so the elders decided to give me the opportunity to go to the Divine Beast Continent to hone my skills and search for treasures. However, that place is infested with numerous high-level savage beasts, so that’s why I invited you guys here to discuss about forming a team with me.” Torgrim Barkary said with a grin. n.)𝑂)-𝗏.)𝗲/.𝗅/(𝓫)-1(-n

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 answered. “Whoever can find the treasures or spiritual plants can keep it, but if the group joined hands to acquire a certain item, the distribution will depend on everyone’s contributions. How does that sound?”

Hearing this, the eyes of Leaf and the others lit up. This was advantageous to them since they didn’t need to pay for the teleportation array formation. The only problem was the danger associated with going to the Divine Beast Continent. However, when they thought about the spiritual plants and treasures that they could find there, all their hesitation vanished.

“Alright. I’m in!” Leaf was the first one to join the team. He was the strongest among the bunch and he was also confident that he can reach the Origin God Realm before they go to the Divine Beast Continent. After all, he placed second in the Heaven Battle and he got a precious reward which can help him ascend to the next realm!

‘If these guys betray me… Hmph!’ Leaf scoffed in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face.

“I’m in!”

“Me too!”

After seeing that everyone has agreed to join his team, Torgrim Barkary could not help but smile widely. ‘These guys are quite strong. With their help, we can gather many spiritual plants and treasures!’

Meanwhile, Lou Baiqing had just finished drinking his wine. After paying the bill with a pained look, he went out of the store to search for the Demon Empress. “Where are they? Why aren’t they here? This was where we last saw Wine Master Jiu Shen and Princess Cornelia, but I can’t even see their shadow now…”

Lou Baiqing suddenly felt anxious. He walked around the lotus building, but he failed to see Jiu Shen and the Demon Empress. “Shit! Did Her Majesty bring Wine Master Jiu Shen into Hegante City to discuss in private? No way! She would beat me up for not following her immediately…”

Just as Lou Baiqing was about to go away, he suddenly felt a vibration in space behind him. He turned his gaze and saw Jiu Shen carrying the unconscious Demon Empress in his hands.

“Quick. I think your boss fell unconscious because of heatstroke.”

Hearing this, Lou Baiqing cursed Jiu Shen in his heart. A Void God Realm expert falling unconscious because of heatstroke? As if I’d believe you!
