Chapter 0039 – In Moments Like These, This Is What You Do-Absolute Returns

On my way back from the residence of the One Flower Sword Venerable, the Blood Heavenly Sword Demon was waiting at that intersection where we often met.

“What did that old hag say to you?” As soon as he saw me, he couldn’t wait to ask, his tone filled with disgust for One Flower Sword Honored One.

“She said to cut you off from me.” I answered truthfully.

“I knew it! I told you she’d say that! What else did she say?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon unsurprisingly burst into a rage and gritted his teeth.

“She said that you and I are on different paths.” I continued, “She said you are too free-spirited to work with someone like me who seeks order and rules.”

“Fart!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon roared as a cold demonic aura erupted from him, and the trees around him were blown to the ground.

“So what are you going to do?” He asked, forcing down his anger.

“Of course I’m going to choose the party that is more favorable to me.” I deliberately irritated him, “I’ll work with whoever gives more benefits, isn’t that the case with you?”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon was stumped for words, as he himself was also such a person.

“However, you still have the advantage now.” I said with a smile, “It’s impossible for her to come up with something better than the Heavenly Divine Pill, right?”

“That can’t be said, that old demoness will do anything to deal with me.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said with a cold snort.

“What kind of deep hatred do you have with One Flower Sword Venerable?” I asked curiously.

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon was silent for a moment before slowly saying, “There’s no reason, I just don’t see her in a good light.”

I knew that he wasn’t telling the truth.

Between the two of them, there must be an unknown secret.

“Would you like a drink? Wouldn’t it be too stifling to just go back?” I suggested.

“You kid, you know me well.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon snorted coldly and said, “Let’s go, my treat today.”

“Your old man is so generous.” I said with a smile.

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon ignored my flirting, and instead walked straight in the direction of the Mooga Village.

I followed in a hurry.

……

The Blood Heavenly Sword Demon brought me to a restaurant called “Wind and Moon House”.

“What brings you here?” I asked, a little taken aback.

“I heard that your brat opened a Yellow Springs Pavilion branch here.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said indifferently.

“You are well informed.” I said with a smile.

“You brat, stop being playful with me.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said without any good humor, “I’m warning you, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’ve become the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master. If you dare to do anything out there, I’ll be the first to not spare you!”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind.” I said in a hurry.

“Hmph!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon snorted coldly and no longer paid any attention to me, but walked straight into the restaurant.

I followed in a hurry.

The owner of the tavern, was a short, fat, middle-aged man with a smile on his face.

“Welcome, two guests, inside please.” He greeted warmly.

“Boss, it’s been a long time.” I said with a smile.

“Aiya, isn’t this Young Master Jian? What a rare guest!” As soon as the owner saw me, he immediately smiled with joy and hurriedly greeted me, “Why are you free to visit the small store today?”

“I’ve come to have a drink with my friend.” I said with a smile, pointing at the Blood Sky Blade Demon beside me.

“This is ……,” the owner asked suspiciously.

“This is my predecessor, the Blood Sky Blade Demon.” I introduced.

“So it’s Senior Blade Demon, disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful disrespectful!” The boss hurriedly saluted respectfully.

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon merely nodded lightly and ignored him.

Seeing this, the boss didn’t dare to say anything more and hurriedly guided us to an empty table.

“What would you like to eat, gentlemen? Something to drink?” He asked.

“Feel free to serve a few signature dishes and a nice bottle of wine.” I said.

“Alright, you wait a moment.” After the boss finished, he turned around and left.

“You kid, you’re so polite even to a mortal?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon asked with some confusion.

“The owner is nice, I used to eat here a lot.” I said with a smile.

“You brat, are just too soft-hearted.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon shook his head and said, “If you’re like this, sooner or later, you’ll suffer.”

“It’s a blessing to suffer.” I said with a smile.

“Hmph! You kid, you know how to say pretty words.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon snorted coldly and said, “Let me tell you, in this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you treat others well, they may not necessarily appreciate your kindness. Perhaps, it will even bite you back.”

“I believe that good things happen to good people.” I said with a smile.

“Hmph! Naive!” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon snorted coldly and no longer paid any attention to me, instead, he drank his own wine.

When I saw this, I didn’t say anything more, but drank with him.

“You and One Flower Sword Venerable, how exactly did you form a bond?” I asked curiously.

“You kid, why are you so nosy?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said without a trace of anger.

“I’m just curious.” I said with a smile.

“Curiosity killed the cat.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said indifferently, “There are some things that you’re better off not knowing.”

“Fine.” I shrugged helplessly and said, “However, I still want to remind you that it’s better for you to mess with the One Flower Sword Venerable less in the future. She’s not a lord to be messed with.”

“You kid, are you lecturing me?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon glared at me and said.

“I wouldn’t dare, I’m just being nice and reminding you.” I said with a smile.

“Hmph! Do I need you to remind me?” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon snorted coldly and said, “Let me tell you, I, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, am not afraid of the heavens or the earth, and I’m still afraid of an old demoness like her?”

“Your old man’s divine power is overwhelming, naturally you are not afraid of her.” I said with a smile, “However, more is better than less, don’t you think so?”

“You brat, don’t come with me on this.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon waved his hand and said, “I know in my heart.”

“That’s good.” I said with a smile.

“By the way, you brat, in the future, you have to discipline those men of yours.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon suddenly said, “Don’t let them cause me any more trouble.”

“Don’t worry, I will be strict.” I said in a hurry.

“Hmph! It better be.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon snorted coldly and said, “If I ever learn that your men dared to act recklessly again, I will never forgive them lightly!”

“Yes, yes, yes.” I responded with a quick nod.

“Alright, I’ve had my fill, so I’ll leave first.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said, standing up and preparing to leave.

“I’ll walk you.” I said in a rush.

“No need, you kid, better think about how to deal with that old demoness.” The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon waved his hand and said, “I’m leaving.”

After saying that, he turned around and left the restaurant.

I watched him leave before I sat down and continued drinking.
