Chapter 423: The Power Of Theia’s Name

News about the emperor weeding Jiu Shen"s garden soon spread throughout Morlon City. Even some neighboring cities heard of this rumor. However, everyone merely treated this as a joke. 

"Brother Balmond, it looks like many people have already heard about your new occupation." Yue Bo chuckled as he stared at Balmond with a look of schadenfreude. 

Hearing this, Balmond could only shake his head. "It doesn"t matter. None of them knows about the true power of Wine Master Jiu Shen. I even feel proud just plucking the weeds off of his garden. They will eventually grow tired of talking about me. Besides, Cornelia"s coronation is moving closer. Those people would soon s.h.i.+ft their attention to her." 

Yue Bo nodded his head in agreement, but he still had a light smile plastered on his face. "Let"s just water these spiritual plants." 

After that, the two went to the back of the lotus building. This was where the pond was located. 

After the twelve fishes came out of the pond, many small creatures soon replaced them. The pond was now thriving with life and its surface glowed brilliantly. 

Yue Bo and Balmond then took their watering cans and filled them with the pond"s water. This was what Jiu Shen told Yue Bo and up until now, he was still using the pond"s water for the spiritual plants. He wondered what was special about this pond water that Jiu Shen even had to specifically tell him to water the spiritual plants using it. Perhaps this pond is a treasure in itself...

"Brother Yue, are you sure that we are using this pond water for the spiritual plants?" Balmond asked as he filled his watering can. This item was also a bit special since it could take in gallons of water despite its small appearance. 

Hearing this, Yue Bo merely smiled at him.

Balmond was stunned and doubtful, but he still followed Yue Bo since he was more knowledgeable than him about this. 

"We"re actually using pond water for those precious spiritual plants? Wait... Wine Master Jiu Shen must have instructed Brother Yue to do this. If that"s the case, there might be something unique about this pond." Balmond thought to himself as he stared at his image on the pond"s surface. 

"Truthfully, I also have no idea about this, but it was Wine Master Jiu who told me to use it for the spiritual plants." Yue Bo chuckled while looking at the perplexed Demon Emperor. 

"Anyway, we should get going and water those little guys. They might attack us if we dally any longer." Yue Bo added as he went to the garden with the watering can in his hand. Balmond trailed behind him with a blank look on his face. 

When they reached the garden, they immediately watered the plants systematically. Balmond looked stiff since this was his first time doing this. On the other hand, Yue Bo looked relaxed as he held his watering can. 

"Look! Is that His Majesty?"

"It looks like His Majesty, but why isn"t he wearing his imperial robes and crown? And why the heck is he watering Wine Master Jiu Shen"s garden?"

"Could it be those rumors about him are true?!" 

"No way!"

Yue Bo suppressed his laughter when he heard their conversation. 

Meanwhile, Balmond was already prepared about this, so he merely ignored the whispering crowd. 

However, more and more people soon came to watch him which made Balmond"s face twitch in annoyance. 

Are these kids country b.u.mpkins? Have they not seen someone watering plants? 

Balmond gnashed his teeth in anger. 

Seeing this, Yue Bo knew that he had to intervene this time or those poor people might die from the Demon Emperor"s rage...

"Everyone, please leave if you are only going to block the gate. How can our customers go inside with you guys blocking the way? Do you want me to call Young Miss Theia to discuss this with you?" Yue Bo said with a kind smile. 

Young Miss Theia? 

Hearing that name, the crowd immediately dispersed as if afraid of a plague spreading through. Who doesn"t know Young Miss Theia? She was the b.u.t.t-kicking demon of the wine store! Although she had already gone to guard the second floor of the building, she would occasionally go down to kick a few troublemakers out of the store! There was even an Origin G.o.d Realm powerhouse who was burned to death after he tried to touch her a.s.s. Recalling the powerhouse"s bloodcurdling scream as his body was lit ablaze, everyone s.h.i.+vered as they ran with all their might. 

Yue Bo laughed heartily as he watched the fleeing crowd. Young Miss Theia was truly a great deterrent factor. Just hearing her name was enough to scare those people! 

Balmond also laughed when he saw this scene. "Now, I know what to do if this happens again. Hehehe."

Suddenly, the two stared in the same direction. 

They saw a lithe figure dressed in golden robes with silver highlights. She had a thin veil that covered the lower portion of her face and only her starry eyes can be seen. 

Yue Bo and Balmond were a bit surprised when they saw her, but they then ignored her and resume their work. They had already seen this woman visiting the store a few times, and every time she comes here, she would always ask if Jiu Shen was in the store. 

"Greetings, Lord Yue Bo and Your Majesty Balmond! Is Wine Master here this time?" A soothing and angelic voice soon entered their ears. 

Yue Bo and Balmond glanced at each other before they turned their gazes to this stunning demon. 

"I apologize, Young Miss, but Wine Master Jiu Shen is yet to come out of seclusion." Yue Bo said with a helpless look. They knew that Jiu Shen was still in the Spirit World, but they couldn"t tell this to this girl. 

Demon Empress Ganda pouted beneath her veil. She then said. "In that case, I shall take my leave. Farewell, gentlemen." 

Yue Bo and Balmond stared at her receding figure with curious gazes. Who might this woman be? And why is she looking for Wine Master Jiu?
