Chapter 326 - Gift For His Majesty?

The branch store was now officially open, but no demon has yet to discover the store. Although the lotus building was very beautiful when looked from afar, no one dared to go near it since it was located in the territory of the Demon Lord Burlock. Even those courageous demons dared not step foot near his territory.

Burlock might have seemed weak after his crushing defeat under the hands of Jiu Shen, but he was a tyrant of Morlon City and he was known for his ferocity. Even the four other Demon Lords would hesitate in provoking him.

"Look! There is a big lotus flower in Demon Lord Burlock’s territory! It must be a high-level spiritual flower! I wonder what it is used for..."

"Woah! It is indeed very beautiful! Demon Lord Burlock might be preparing this for His Majesty Demon King’s incoming birthday."

"Indeed! It looks like Demon Lord Burlock is staking his all this time! The four Demon Lords might not sit still if they learn about this..."

The demons in the vicinity chatted among themselves as they pointed at the lotus building in Demon Lord Burlock’s territory.

Among the crowd of demons, a figure dressed in long black robes can be seen looking at the lotus building with a contemplating look. The figure covered his face with a hood and only the lower portion of his face can be seen. From what was visible on his face, one could see his dark complexion. His aura was also intimidating, making everyone keep their distance from him. "Is this the lotus building that he was talking about?" The figure muttered silently.

"I’ll go and check it out after saving the young lord. It wouldn’t be bad to get acquainted with such a powerful expert. Our Rebel Army needs more people like him..." The figure whispered to himself before he disappeared within the crowd.

Inside one of the most luxurious residences in Morlon City, a slim demon who looked rather effeminate was seated on the head seat made of human bones. If one would look closely, the bones on this seat had golden patterns on their surfaces, a sign that these were the remains of Nascent God Realm experts!

The slim demon looked no different than a human except for the two bronze horns on top of his head. This demon had a handsome face and he was currently drinking a glass filled with the blood of human experts.

In front of this demon were five burly demons wearing bronze armors. They were kneeling respectfully, not even daring to glance at the handsome demon. This guy was one of the five Demon Lords of Morlon City, Demon Lord Zorzoch!

"What brings you here?" Zorzoch asked his subordinates with a smile.

One of the demons immediately answered him. "My Lord, we discovered something unusual in Demon Lord Burlock’s territory. We have no idea what it is, so we decided to inform you about it."

"Burlock? What is it?" Zorzoch asked curiously after emptying the glass filled with human blood.

"We were patrolling Morlon City like usual, and when we passed by Demon Lord Burlock’s territory, something suddenly caught our attention. It is a huge azure lotus with nine petals! Even from afar, we could already smell its alluring fragrance, and coupled with its beautiful appearance, we assume that it is a spiritual plant of considerably high value!" The demon reported with a voice filled with awe.

Zorzoch was initially uninterested in Burlock’s affairs, but when he heard the words of his subordinate, his eyes suddenly lit up. "A spiritual plant with inestimable value? Interesting! It looks like Burlock is going all out to please His Majesty on his coming birthday. Prepare my carriage. I’ll go and check this lotus flower personally." He commanded with a smile.

"Yes, My Lord!"

It wasn’t just Zorzoch, the remaining Demon Lords, Demon Lord Zagan, Demon Lord Azgonoth, and even the elusive Demon Lord Physoris were also notified about the ’lotus flower’.

All of them prepared their carriages. They were planning to visit Burlock’s territory to take a look at the lotus flower that their subordinates were full of praises about.

Not long later, almost everyone in Morlon City has heard about the ’lotus flower’, but aside from the four Demon Lords, only a few brave ones decided to check it up close.

"Hey! Have you seen the lotus flower in Demon Lord Burlock’s territory?"

"What lotus flower are you talking about?"

"I saw a beautiful azure lotus in the territory of Demon Lord Burlock and everyone who saw it was speculating that Demon Lord Burlock is preparing it for His Majesty’s birthday!"

"What?! There’s actually such a thing?! I’ll go and take a look!"

Blue who had her eyes shut tight abruptly stood up and stared beyond the fences of the store. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at the distance. "Meimei, Xiaoxiao, tell Burlock to prepare. Our first batch of customers is about to arrive." She said to the two girls who were still busy chatting between themselves.

"Yes, Sister Blue!" The two replied before sprinting towards Burlock who was now inside the wine storage.

"Ugly demon, Sister Blue ordered us to prepare. We have customers coming in a moment." Meimei said to Burlock who was busy admiring the wines inside the wine storage. He had thought of stealing a few bottles, but he immediately discarded the idea. It would be fine if Jiu Shen would not discover him, but if he does, then his life might cease to exist...

Burlock’s wine fantasy was abruptly shattered by Meimei’s annoying voice. He exasperatedly turned his gaze to the girl. He controlled himself from slapping this little girl and put on a broken smile. "Yes! Yes! Yes! I’ll go out and prepare to greet our guests!"

"Hmph! You don’t need to do that. You might scare them away with your cow-like appearance! Sister Blue is responsible for greeting them, your job is to get our guests’ orders." Meimei said with her arms crossed.

Burlock’s face twitched, but he still managed to nod his head. "Alright. No problem!"

Meimei nodded her head haughtily after seeing that Burlock was obedient.
