Burlock was still wary of the owner of this new building, so he did not dare release his anger. While suppressing his rage, Burlock noticed that the gate was partially open.
"He did not even bother to lock his gate. Is this guy not afraid of anyone stealing from his place? What an idiot." Burlock muttered with a mocking expression as he pushed the gate.
The moment he stepped inside, his eyes widened like saucers.
"This... How is this possible?!" He exclaimed in fright when he saw numerous high-level spiritual plants and spiritual flowers scattered around the lotus building.
"That is a thousand-year-old Blood Revitalizing Ginseng?! And that one... isn't that a Purple Moonlight Lily?! This..." Burlock staggered after identifying the precious spiritual plants and flowers.
After gathering his wits, Burlock glanced at his left and right. When he noticed that no one was in the vicinity, he stretched his arm with an intention of snatching the spiritual plants. Since there is an opportunity right in front of him, why would he not grab it? Only an idiot would turn a blind eye upon seeing these valuable spiritual plants. He might be a Demon Lord, but these resources were still of significant value to him. With these in his possession, he might have a chance of breaking through his cultivation realm and become a Demon Ancestor!
"Since you have constructed a building in my territory without getting my permission, then don't blame me for being rude!" Burlock chuckled evilly.
Just as he was about to pluck the Blood Revitalizing Ginseng in front of him, he suddenly felt a sense of extreme danger right behind him.
Without hesitation, Burlock rolled to his left and positioned himself to face the direction where he had sensed the danger. A silhouette slowly emerged from the shadows and showed herself to Burlock.
This newcomer was a demure young lady with long blue hair. Her fair skin had a few spots that had fish scales, but it did not ruin her beauty. Instead, it added a different kind of charm to her.
Looking at this incomparably beautiful woman, Burlock frowned and adjusted his stance warily. He could sense that this woman was as strong as him in terms of cultivation!
'Is she the owner of this building?' He muttered to himself while glancing at the demure young lady with a solemn expression.
"Ugly demon, how dare you sneak inside my master's store and try to steal one of his spiritual plants! Are you tired of living?!" The lady's expression suddenly changed as she lashed out angrily.
Hearing that, Burlock felt indignant and rage welling up his heart.
"You guys were the ones who built this building in my territory without permission and now you don't even allow me to get a few stalks of herbs?!" Burlock blurted out. His eyes reddened because of his intense anger.
"Hmph! It is your honor that my master has taken a liking to your lousy territory! And you even dare to say that you are just trying to get a few stalks of herbs when your hand is reaching out for the Blood Revitalizing Ginseng?! What do you take me for?! A five-year-old child?!" The young lady pointed at Burlock's face and he could even feel her spittle raining down on his face. The two of them were only three meters apart, but this young lady's spittle had actually managed to reach him. Did she really have to be this loud?
Burlock's face contorted in fury. Since when did he experience this kind of thing? He was a respectable Demon Lord, but he was actually being reprimanded by this little girl? Infuriating!
"Enough! Get your master to get out! Let me see who is so daring enough to construct this goddamn building in my turf!" Burlock stumped his foot on the ground as he shouted furiously. However, he failed to notice that the ground beneath him did not even budge after his stump...
"Sister Blue, what is happening? Why is this ugly demon so noisy?"
"Sister Blue, is this ugly demon the food the master has prepared for us? I don't want it. It's too disgusting!"
"He looks fat and full of meat, but this demon looks ugly that I suddenly lost my appetite. Is this really the food the master has given us? I don't want to eat it. Gross."
More than ten figures suddenly emerged behind the blue-haired young lady, stunning Burlock in his place, but when he heard their words, he almost spurted blood from anger.
"You... you..."
"What you? Did we allow you to talk?"
"Sister Blue, this ugly demon lacks manners. How about we teach it a lesson?" One of the ladies suggested with a grin. The eyes of Sister Blue and the other ladies lit up when they heard that.
Looking at the expressions of these young women, Burlock felt his spine tingle.
'Shit! I did not expect that there are more of them. And from the looks of it, all of them are at the Demon Lord realm." Burlock's face fell.
He could handle one Demon Lord expert, but there are twelve of them standing in front of him. And from their expressions, they are definitely not thinking about something good.
'What do I do?! Think! Think!' Burlock's heartbeat sped up erratically as the ladies slowly inched towards him.
'Am I really gonna be eaten by these little girls here?' he cried in his heart.

Jiu Shen who was still busy observing his new store paused his movements and stared in the direction of the entrance. Upon seeing what was happening outside, a smile suddenly lit up his face.
"What a perfect timing. My store is just lacking a few waiters or waitresses, but with this fellow here, I can begin operating this store by tomorrow." Jiu Shen said as he walked towards the door of the new store. He must be quick or those little fishes might really eat that guy.
Jiu Shen pushed the door open and said. "Wait. Don't kill him."
