Chapter 0038 – You’ll Be Blackmailed – Absolute Returns

I practiced until late at night in the martial arts field.

Nowadays, the most important thing for me is to improve my strength. Because I know very well in my heart that once I lose to Hua Wuji, then all the efforts I’ve made will go down the drain and be meaningless.

Whenever I was tired of cultivating, I would imagine in my mind that I would end up dying under Hua Wuji’s sword because I was a step behind in my power. Although I knew that such a thing would never happen, this kind of near-desperate imagining was effective in galvanizing my fighting spirit, so that I didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest.

Luckily, today, I was in an excellent state, and I was able to cultivate with ease, which can be called the most comfortable since I was reborn.

In the dantian, the majestic and pure true essence rushed about as if it were a shocking wave, unstoppable. My moves became more severe and faster.

Nowadays, my cultivation is not what it used to be, and I am strong enough to fight those Demon Generals head on. Being so young and possessing such profound power, if word were to spread, I’m afraid that the entire Demon Sect would be shaken by it.

“It’s not enough!”

I said in my mind.

Something like true essence was naturally something that was better in abundance.

After this period of hard cultivation, my Wind God Steps have also made great strides. Although I know that my talent is limited and I’m bound to hit a bottleneck in the future, at least now, I can feel my progress every time I perform my Wind God Steps.

The more I refined my Wind Divine Steps, the stronger the desire in my heart to compete with others became. It was as if this technique was born with a compelling power that constantly stirred my belligerent heart.

“Don’t worry, one day, I’ll let you show yourself off to your heart’s content.” I said in my heart, forcing down the restlessness in my heart.

“Your kung fu, it’s refined a lot more.”

Just as I was wrapping up, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind me.

With a shock in my heart, I quickly turned to look, only to see that my father had stood behind me at some point.

“Father, why do you walk without making any noise at all?” I said with some trepidation.

He’s always like that, unpredictable and defensible.

“Your aura, it’s a lot stronger than before, it seems that you’ve gotten a lot of benefits from the Blade Demon.” Father said indifferently.

I didn’t hide it, but said truthfully, “He gave me a Heavenly Divine Elixir.”

This matter, if it was spread out, would definitely cause a huge uproar. However, after hearing this, my father did not show the slightest surprise, as if everything was expected of him.

“Don’t you think it’s strange?” I asked, somewhat taken aback.

“I told you a long time ago, he’ll give you what you want.” Father said lightly.

“But that is, after all, the Heavenly Divine Elixir!” I couldn’t help but say.

“I know.” Father nodded and said, “That Heavenly Divine Pill, I gave it to him back then.”

“What?!” I froze, never expecting that the Heavenly Divine Pill was actually given to the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon by my father.

I suddenly remembered that the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon had once said earlier that his relationship with my father was even closer than my relationship with my father.

It seems that between the two of them, a lot of stories did happen.

“Why did you give him such a precious elixir?” I couldn’t help but ask.

“Back then, I made a bet with him, he won, and that Heavenly Divine Pill, was his bet.” Father said indifferently.

“And what, exactly, did you bet with him?” I asked curiously.

“That, you don’t have to worry about.” Father shook his head and said, “Just remember that he owes me a favor.”

“I see.” I nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will make good use of this favor and work for you.”

“I believe you.” My father patted me on the shoulder and said, “Well, it’s getting late, so get some early rest.”

“Yes.” I bowed in response.

After watching my father leave, I went back to my room.

I lay in bed, my mind going back and forth, to what my father had just said.

“He owes me a favor ……”

I mumbled.

It seems that this cheap father of mine has really left me a great gift!

……

The One Flower Sword Venerable, indeed, was different from the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon.

Although she also helped me a great deal, she didn’t rush to come to me to claim credit like the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, but chose to remain silent.

“She’s trying to get me to take the initiative.” I said in my mind.

It is clear from this that she is a person who cares a lot about etiquette and face.

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, on the other hand, was a man of nature, whose joys and sorrows were written on his face.

I bought a jar of good wine and came to Zhaolian Lang’s place.

She was seen tending to the flowers in the yard.

“These flowers, they’re beautiful.” I said with a smile.

“When people get old, they like these flowers and plants.” Zhaolian Lang said without lifting his head, “You kid, you are more composed than I thought.”

“Elder sister is joking, I just think that there are some things that are better said in person.” I said with a smile, placing the wine altar in my hand on the stone table.

“What is this?” Zhaolian Lang glanced at the wine altar and asked indifferently.

“This is a fine wine that I have chosen especially for you, and I ask you to smile.” I said with a smile.

“You should know that I haven’t had a drink in a long time.” Zhaolian Lang said lightly.

“I know.” I nodded and said, “But I’d still like to ask you, to make an exception.”
