Chapter 389 - Enticing Balmond To Work As His Sweeper

Emperor Balmond stared at Jiu Shen\'s calm face. He didn\'t know what this human\'s intentions were for bringing Garland\'s corpse here, so the Demon Emperor could only stare at Jiu Shen with a look of uncertainty.

Is he trying to show off his power? What does he want to do? Emperor Balmond\'s head almost hurt from thinking.

"This guy snuck in your territory together with those delegates from the Narda Principality..." Jiu Shen broke the silence. His words was like an alarm bell to Emperor Balmond\'s ears.

\'Garland is actually connected to the Narda Principality! Just what were those guys planning? They even sent Demon Emperor Garland and also Liu Baiqing who was a peak expert among the Demon Ancestors!\' Balmond\'s eyes narrowed as a thought flashed in his head.

\'Rebellion? They were planning to rebel!\' A look of anger surfaced on the Demon Emperor\'s face as he thought of this. He didn\'t think that the Narda Principality was actually hiding an expert of Garland\'s caliber. Could there be more Void God Realm experts within their ranks?

Without Jiu Shen\'s intervention, he would have been in the dark of this matter and he would have been caught unprepared. Luckily, Garland was somehow killed by Jiu Shen.

"I wouldn\'t have cared about your squabbles, but this guy actually dared to sneak inside my garden to steal my spiritual plants. I decided to punish him for his actions, but who knew that this guy\'s willpower is too weak. I only released my aura and it already scared him to death. Initially, I planned to give him a chance and let him work for me, but... What a pity..." A look of disdain can be seen on Jiu Shen\'s face.

Emperor Balmond forced a stiff smile when he heard his words. Luckily, Garland died or it would have been a disaster if he became Jiu Shen\'s lackey.

Just as Emperor Balmond was about to say something, Jiu Shen suddenly stared at him and asked. "How about you work for me instead? Actually, I lack sweepers for my garden. You might have seen Yue Bo. I think he is quite pitiful working alone in my garden. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Emperor Balmond didn\'t know whether to laugh or to cry. So this was Jiu Shen\'s reason for coming here. He already planned to take him under his command, but as a sweeper? Emperor Balmond almost cursed at Jiu Shen as he thought about it.

"Wine Master Jiu, this is a bit..."

"You know why Yue Bo decided to follow me?" Jiu Shen glanced at the hesitating demon with a mysterious smile.

Emperor Balmond was also curious about this. What made him follow Jiu Shen? Even if Jiu Shen is powerful, it shouldn\'t be enough reason to follow him.

"Because he knows that if he follows me, there would be opportunities for him. After all, I was the one who helped him breakthrough to the Void God Realm..." Jiu Shen said with an enticing tone.

At this moment, he was like an old man coaxing a kid to buy his candy. Even he felt embarrassed for his actions, but it was necessary for the growth of his faction, so swallowed this shame...

"What?! So that\'s the reason... Can I ask how you helped Yue Bo breakthrough to the Void God Realm?" Emperor Balmond asked with a look of fervor.

This guy took the bait.

Jiu Shen smirked and answered in a calm voice. "I concocted a pill for him. It helped him increase his success rate in reaching the Void God Realm..."

"You refined a pill for him? There actually exists such a monstrous pill? And you are... you are an alchemist!" This realization made Emperor Balmond\'s mouth gape in shock. Just what kind of pill did Yue Bo consume that it actually helped him advance to the next realm? So aside from being an insanely strong expert, this human is also a pill refining powerhouse?

Jiu Shen nodded his head. "I\'m indeed an alchemist..."

After hesitating for a brief moment, a look of determination flashed in Balmond\'s eyes. "Wine Master Jiu Shen, please accept me as your subordinate..."

Emperor Balmond stood up and bowed at Jiu Shen with respect.

Jiu Shen\'s smile became more apparent as he looked at the bowing demon. He then stood up and patted Balmond\'s back as he replied. "Alright. From now on, you will work alongside Yue Bo as a sweeper in my store. Don\'t worry. I\'m not stingy with rewards as long as you do your job well..."

Working as a sweeper still made Balmond\'s face scrunch up, but when he heard about the word reward, his eyes suddenly lit up as he immediately nodded his head at Jiu Shen. "I will do my job well, Wine Master Jiu Shen!"

"Good! For now, continue ruling the Great Demon Empire. When the tournament is over, you can pass the throne to Cornelia. Although that little girl\'s personality is quite quirky, her talent isn\'t bad..." Jiu Shen suggested. He has been observing the situation of the Great Demon Empire since he had come here. Among Balmond\'s three children, although Cornelia wasn\'t the strongest, she was the most capable and fit to become empress.

Balmond\'s eyes narrowed, but he nodded his head in agreement. He also thought about this for a long time and he agreed about Jiu Shen\'s suggestion.

His third son, Amon, can be taken off the list. He was the most unqualified among the bunch to become a leader. As for his second son, Artaurus, he felt a bit conflicted as he thought about this son of his.

Artaurus\' strength has been kept confidential. Even Cornelia and Amon didn\'t know about their second brother\'s real strength. They only knew that their brother was a sickly individual and has been in a coma for more than a decade. However, they didn\'t know that it was merely what their father has led them to believe.

Artaurus wasn\'t sickly and he was definitely not in a coma. He was currently locked up inside a secret dungeon. Balmond also sealed his son\'s cultivation to prevent him from escaping. As for why he did this, Balmond has his reasons....
