Chapter 426: I Apologize

Demon Empress Ganda sat inside the carriage while gritting her teeth in exasperation. If you're asking why she was suddenly like this. The reason for that is that she suddenly remembered that Jiu Shen had taken her weapons when she was unconscious.

Those two weapons were passed down in her family for generations and according to her ancestors, the value of those weapons was inestimable! The only problem was that the inscriptions on the two weapons are severely damaged, making them significantly weaker.

"Jiu Shen... How long are you planning to hide from me?!" She muttered as she gnashed her teeth.

"Is there anything wrong, Your Majesty?" Lou Baiqing's worried voice sounded outside of the carriage.

Demon Empress Ganda frowned in irritation. "Shut the hell up and just bring me to the lotus building!"

The poor Lou Baiqing could only smile helplessly. He wondered why the Demon Empress was suddenly temperamental this morning. 'Maybe she's still angry about Wine Master Jiu Shen...'

Soon, their beast carriage stop in front of the gates of the lotus building.

Demon Empress Ganda gracefully stepped out of the carriage, while Lou Baiqing trailed behind her silently. When the two entered the gates, they noticed two figures who were sweeping in the garden with wooden brooms in their hands.

Lou Baiqing was stunned when he recognized these two people. Although they had already heard of rumors that the Demon Emperor was now working in Jiu Shen's store as a gardener, he still found it shocking to see it with his own eyes.

Demon Empress Ganda ignored Lou Baiqing and walked towards the two busy figures.

Balmond and Yue Bo stopped sweeping when they sensed someone moving towards them. They stared at the Demon Empress with a look of surprise, but they soon sighed with helpless looks.

'She must be here to look for Wine Master Jiu Shen again...' The two men thought to themselves.

"Greetings Lord Yue Bo and Your Majesty Balmond." Demon Empress Ganda greeted the two politely.

Balmond and Yue Bo merely smiled at her and waited for her question. They were already expecting her to ask about Jiu Shen's whereabouts, but they were soon proven wrong...

"Can I talk to you guys inside?" The Demon Empress asked while looking at the two.

Eh? This wasn't the script they knew about.

"Young Miss, if you're looking for Wine Master Jiu Shen... I'm sorry, but he's not yet out of seclusion..." Balmond forced out a smile as he stared at the young woman in front of him. She was very beautiful, but he didn't dare underestimate this woman since she had an aura that was at least as strong as his own!

The Demon Empress shook her head. "I didn't come here just to look for him. I'm also here to discuss matters with you, Your Majesty."

Balmond raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, but he still nodded his head. "Alright. We are done cleaning anyway, so I can spare a bit of time to talk with you."

Demon Empress Ganda smiled beneath her veil. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I hope Lord Yue Bo can join us as well. I also have matters to tell you."

There was a hint of pleading in her tone and Yue Bo didn't have the heart to reject her request, so he nodded his head albeit reluctantly. "Hm, okay."

Meanwhile, Lou Baiqing who was standing not far from them could only watch as the three Void God Realm experts went inside the store. 'Hey! What about me? I'm still here you know!'

When the three reached the second floor of the store, they saw Theia in her knight's armor standing at the entrance. She had a distant look on her face as she eyed the three of them. Those cold and expressionless eyes made the three powerhouses feel a sudden chill in their hearts!

They had an odd feeling that this cold-looking blonde beauty was capable of killing them!

"Don't exceed the time limit!" Theia muttered coldly before closing her eyes.

The three hurriedly nodded their heads. They then stepped inside the room with relieved faces. She was too scary!

The three quickly found their seats.

"Gentlemen, can I ask you guys who that woman is?" Demon Empress Ganda asked in a whispering tone. She also blocked the space around them using her spiritual power to prevent anyone from hearing their conversation.

Balmond and Yue Bo glanced at each other before they answered with serious faces.

"You might have heard of her name already. She is Young Miss Theia, the guardian of the store's second floor. From what we know, she is also Wine Master Jiu Shen's partner."

Hearing this, the Demon Empress was a bit surprised. 'Even his partner is so strong?!'

"Young Miss, I'm sure that you didn't approach us just to ask this, right?" Balmond smiled while looking at the Demon Empress who sat opposite him.

"Indeed. First, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ganda, the Demon Empress and the leader of Narda Principality. I apologize for the late introduction." The Demon Empress introduced herself directly.

Hearing this, Balmond's mouth gaped open, while Yue Bo also appeared to be stunned.

"So you're the hidden leader of Narda Principality!" Balmond exclaimed in shock. All this time, they never knew who was leading Narda Principality in secret. So it was actually this red-haired demon!

Demon Empress Ganda nodded her head and she felt a bit anxious when she sense the animosity in Balmond's tone. From the looks of it, it seemed like this guy was dissatisfied with Narda Principality's past actions. He couldn't be blamed though since the Great Demon Empire had been at odds with Narda Principality for many centuries!

"I know that Your Majesty Balmond is angry about the actions of Narda Principality. I came here to apologize and seek your forgiveness. I hope that you will be magnanimous enough to forgive us, Your Majesty..." She muttered in a soft voice.. Demon Empress Ganda felt a bit humiliated as she uttered those words, but she had to do it. This was for the survival of Narda Principality!
