The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 328 - Zagan’s Question

Chapter 328 - Zagan’s Question

Blue stared at the stunned Demon Lords with a light smile. She stood there calmly and waited for them to recover from their surprise.
After a brief moment of shock, Physoris felt embarrassed for her expression. She coughed lightly and took a peek at the other Demon Lords. Aside from Demon Lord Azgonoth who had already regained his calmness, the other two were still in a daze.
'I don't believe this woman is capable of such high-level space manipulation. From her aura, she seems to be on the same level as me and Azgonoth, so it shouldn't be possible for her to do it. It looks like the background of this place isn't shallow.' Physoris thought to herself as she looked at Blue with the corner of her eyes. The woman was exceptionally beautiful and from the faint beastly aura she exudes, Physoris was certain that this young lady was a savage beast.
"Guests, I'll go and call our people to take your orders." Blue smiled at the Demon Lords before she left with a graceful spin.
Physoris and the others stared at her back with narrowed eyes before finding a seat for themselves.
"Lady Physoris, from your observations, how strong do you think that woman is?" Azgonoth sat beside Physoris and asked in a grave tone.
Physoris glanced at him and replied with an uncertain look. "I'm not too sure either, but from her aura, she should be at the peak stage Demon Lord or in her case, a peak stage Nascent God Realm expert. However, this is only my estimation based on what I sensed."
Azgonoth's expression turned even more solemn upon hearing her words. His conjectures were almost the same as her, but still felt surprised when he got her answer. As a Demon Lord serving under Demon Ancestor Jun, he was quite familiar with the ongoings of the Crimson Fiend Continent.
According to Demon Ancestor Jun, the Crimson Fiend Continent was mainly controlled by the Demon Race, but there were still a few races who managed to survive other than them. Although their power was significantly weaker than the demons, they still have a few powerhouses protecting them.
'Is she one of those people?' Azgonoth muttered to himself as he pondered deeply.
"Brother Zorzoch, from the dozens of spiritual plants outside, I saw something that might be of use to you." Zagan who was still standing suddenly whispered to Zorzoch.
Zorzoch frowned and turned his gaze to the giant and said. "Brother Zagan, you've seen for yourself the power of that woman. Even if there is a spiritual plant that would be of help to me, I won't take the risk."
Zorzoch was a careful man and he didn't want to foolishly offend someone just because of a single spiritual plant. And from the expressions of Azgonoth and Physoris, he was able to deduce that the two were wary of that woman. Just this alone made his alarm bells ringing.
Zagan grinned when he heard Zorzoch's reply, but he didn't give up persuading him. "Brother Zorzoch, let me finish first. What I saw is a mature Blood Revitalizing Ginseng. And from its appearance, it should be a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng! I know this type of spiritual plant is very important to someone of your descent. Brother Zorzoch, I know that you have the Demon Vampire bloodline. You don't need me to tell you the importance of the Blood Revitalizing Ginseng, right?"
Zorzoch's expression went cold when Zagan mentioned his bloodline. Furthermore, Zagan was also right about the value of the Blood Revitalizing Ginseng to him. If he consumes it, he would advance to the late stage Demon Lord! And if it was refined into a Nascent Pill, he might even have the chance to leap into the peak stage Demon Lord!
Looking at Zorzoch's contemplating expression, Zagan smiled cunningly. Don't be fooled by his huge stature and idiotic look, this giant demon was known for his craftiness!
"I apologize for making you wait, guests. Meimei, Xiaoxiao, go and take our guests' orders." Blue came back with two girls who looked to be in their late teens.
"Alright. I'll leave the guests in your care." Blue said to the two girls before she went back to the reception desk.
"Hello, guests! My name is Meimei and this is my sister Xiaoxiao. We are here to take your orders." Meimei said with a smile as she handed a laminated menu to the four Demon Lords. This menu was provided by the system after the creation of the branch store.
Physoris and the other three glanced at Meimei and Xiaoxiao with a stunned look. They could sense that these two seemingly harmless young girls were actually early stage Nascent God Realm experts!
Zorzoch who was formulating a plan to steal the Blood Revitalizing Ginseng immediately discarded the thought when he discovered the cultivation of the two girls. He then glared at Zagan for insinuating him.
After recovering from their surprise, they looked down at the menu given by Meimei.
Wine:
Mystic Jade - 1 Blood Stone
Ables Blanc - 5 Blood Stones
Frozen Origin - 55 Blood Stones
Deep Sea Spring Dew - 120 Blood Stones
Blade Divinity Ardent Spirit - 500 Blood Stones
Zagan's eyes widened when he saw the prices, but he soon calmed down. He must not lose his face here or he would surely be a laughingstock in Morlon City. As a Demon Lord, he has a huge number of assets, so paying for these wines wasn't a problem for him. However, he felt slightly reluctant to pay such a huge number of Blood Stones for just a bottle of wine.
It wasn't just him, the three Demon Lords were also stunned at the absurd prices.
"Little Sister Meimei, I'd like to have a bottle of Blade Divinity Ardent Spirit and also one Deep Sea Spring Dew." Physoris said with a smile as she returned the menu to Meimei. Although the prices of the wine exceeded her expectations, she still wanted to try them. She wanted to find out why the owner had priced his wines like that. She believed that there must be a reason for it.
Meimei took the menu from Physoris and smiled gently at her. The usual playfulness in her expression was gone. She did not want to be punished by the master, so she decided to work seriously.
"That would be 620 Blood Stones in total. You can pay your bill later, dear guest. Wait for me here as I get your order." Meimei said before walking towards the wine storage.
Azgonoth turned his gaze to Xiaoxiao and handed the menu to her as he said in a calm voice. "2 bottles of Blade Divinity Ardent Spirit."
"That would be 1000 Blood Stones, dear guest. Is there anything else?" Xiaoxiao asked with a light smile.
Azgonoth shook his head and said in a cold tone. "I just hope that the wines here are worth their price."
After hearing his words, Xiaoxiao merely smiled before taking her leave.
"Brother Azgonoth, Lady Physoris, are you really willing to pay for their wine? They are obviously ripping us off!" Zagan said with a displeased look.
Azgonoth frowned and turned his gaze to the giant demon. "Enough! Do you think I would fall for your little tricks? Zagan, your plans are useless to me!" He muttered coldly.
Zagan shrugged his shoulders with an embarrassed look. To think that his thoughts were seen though just like that...
Zagan glanced at the wooden chair in front of him. With his size, he needed two chairs, so he grabbed another chair for himself, but suddenly...
Hm?
Zagan was alarmed when he grabbed a chair. It was way heavier than he thought and he estimated that it should be at least more than several hundreds of kilograms. Although this weight was nothing to him, he was still surprised that such a tiny chair was actually that heavy. Looking at the stylish wooden chair, he felt that the materials used in making it were definitely not ordinary.
'This place is becoming even more mysterious the longer I stay here. From the attitude of the three ladies, none of them seemed to be the owner of the store, but to answer my confusion, I should ask them when they come back.' The giant muttered to himself.
Not long later, Meimei and Xiaoxiao came back with two bottles of wine each. They then placed the wines on Physoris' and Azgonoth's tables respectively.
"Little sisters, before you take my order, I'd like to ask something." Zagan said with a beaming smile.
When they heard his words, Physoris, Azgonoth, and Zorzoch listened curiously. They were wondering what this giant was up to.
Meimei and Xiaoxiao glanced at each other before looking at Zagan. "Alright. Go ahead." They said.
"From how I see things, the sister over there, Little Sister Meimei, and Little Sister Xiaoxiao should be working for someone, am I right?" Zagan asked as he looked at the young girls.
He sounded gentle, but his words were rude and disrespectful, but instead of getting angry, Meimei and Xiaoxiao smiled warmly upon hearing his question.
"This guest here is right. We are indeed working for someone. Hehe." Meimei answered truthfully.
However, Meimei didn't know that her answer was like a bolt of tumultuous lightning to the Demon Lords.
