Chapter 323 - You Look Like A Cow

Helios was surprised when he saw the beautiful lotus building from afar. If it wasn't for the metal fences around it, he would have believed that this was a high-level spiritual plant.
The lotus building looked like a blooming flower with its incredibly alluring set of petals. Helios could even smell a tantalizing scent lingering in the air as he approached the gates of the building.
"Hey! Tell me what kind of people are inside that building!" Helios said to the soldier leading them. He could not help but remain careful after witnessing the enchanting lotus building. From what he could remember, there wasn't such a building yesterday, so how could it have suddenly appeared here?
The soldier's expression darkened as he recounted their first visit to this lotus building. "Commander Helios, we were just looking for the Demon Lord around this area and we suddenly noticed this place. We were curious about it since it is the first time we've seen it here, so we went inside the gate after seeing that it's open."
The soldier had a look of awe as he continued. "After stepping inside, we saw numerous high-level spiritual plants around the lotus building and I even saw the very previous Blood Revitalizing Ginseng!"
Hearing that there was a Blood Revitalizing Ginseng inside the lotus building, Helios' eyes lit up. It was a valuable spiritual plant that could enhance one's vitality and physical body. If he consumes it, he would be more confident about his tribulation lightning.
"Aside from the Blood Revitalizing Ginseng, there was also a crystal-clear pond in front of the lotus building, and living inside this pond are a few beautiful fishes. From how they look, they seem to be of high value." The soldier said with a flushed look.
Hearing that, Helios also became excited.
"Just as we were about to pluck a few spiritual plants, we suddenly discovered Demon Lord Burlock inside the lotus building, so we immediately dashed towards him. However, just as we were about to go inside the building, two ladies block the entrance. One of them...she... she pummeled all of us and threw us out of the gates..." The soldier was embarrassed as he said that. As soldiers of Demon Lord Burlock, they were actually beaten up by a little girl who looked no older than twenty. If news about it leaks out, they would surely become a laughingstock in the whole Morlon City.
After hearing his subordinates' words, Helios frowned. "You were beaten up by a little girl? All of you? Preposterous! You shame the name of Demon Lord Burlock! Scram!" Helios shouted as he kicked the soldier's behind, sending him flying into the air.
Helios walked with large strides as he shouted loudly. "Lord Burlock, Helios is here to save!"
The gate was open, so Helios was able to go in without a problem.
"This..." His mouth went agape as he stared at the spiritual plants around him. He could not begin to imagine the value of all the spiritual plants he was seeing. Even Demon Lord Burlock whom he was serving did not have this many spiritual plants in his possession. And from how these precious plants were carelessly planted outside the lotus building, Helios was wondering what kind of person the owner would be. Does he not know the value of these things?
"Helios!" An anxious call drifted behind his ears. He was familiar with this voice, so he immediately turned his gaze towards the owner of the voice. Of course, it was none other than the Demon Lord, Burlock.
"My Lord!" Helios bowed his head as he greeted the man. He then stared at his lord from head to foot and checked whether he was injured or not. And when he discovered that he was in perfect condition, Helios heaved a huge sigh of relief as he said worriedly.
"My Lord, did someone kidnap you? Why did you suddenly disappear last night? Everyone was looking for you."
Burlock felt warm in his heart when he saw the anxious look of Helios. He was happy that he has such a loyal subordinate.
Just then, an angry voice suddenly interrupted the conversation of the two demons.
"Who is so noisy outside?! Scram or I'll break your bones!"
Hearing the arrogant voice, Helios' face darkened and he turned his gaze to the door of the lotus building. He saw two girls who looked to be in their late teens and from their appearance, they looked similar to humans, but when he saw the fish scales on some parts of their bodies, Helios was certain that these girls were of a different race.
"Who do you think you are to utter such bold words in the presence of Demon Lord Burlock?! You want to break my bones? With your pair of scrawny arms? Are you making me laugh, little girl?!" Helios glared at Meimei as he glanced at her disdainfully. He also exerted the aura of a peak stage 9th-rank Saint with the intent of scaring the insolent green-haired little girl.
"This... Helios..." Burlock's face fell after witnessing the drastic change of events. He wanted to say something, but Helios courageously walked in front of Meimei as he displayed his full strength. A broad grin can be seen on his face as he stared at the two girls.
"That... This young lady..." Burlock tried to appease the situation, but before he could say anything, a loud peal of laughter suddenly erupted.
"Hahaha! Xiaoxiao, is this guy trying to make us laugh? He is so funny! Look at his face. He looks like the cow I saw last night when I sneaked out of the building. Hahaha!" The green-haired Meimei laughed loudly as he pointed at Helios' nose.
Xiaoxiao who was standing beside her chuckled as she watched the scene with interest. A look of anticipation flashed in her pair of hazel eyes.
"You! What did you say?! Say it again if you dare!" Helios' face darkened when he heard Meimei's insulting words. She was actually comparing him to a cow? Since when did he experience this kind of shame?
Meimei glanced at him in disdain as she uttered word by word. " I. Said. You. Look. Like. A. Cow."
Burlock who was looking from behind had the urge to smack Helios. He actually dared to mess with this lass...
