Chapter 0048 – What Makes Me Feel Lonely When I Live Alone – Absolute Returns

“Uh-huh.” Xu Dalong nodded.

“When I first saw those bodies, I was angry too, but now, I’ve figured it out and I’ve made my decision.”

Xu Dalong looked at me, wanting to say something.

“You can say whatever you want.”

“I have guessed your decision, your eyes have said it all, just as they did when you first decided to challenge those impossible tasks.”

I laughed and said, “That’s why it’s so important to have a competent assistant!”

“You always say I’m your right hand man, aren’t I?”

“You’re my right hand man, but Liam is different.”

“Does it mean that I’m not even as good as Li An?” Xu Dalong’s tone carried a hint of loss.

“Lee Ann is my heart, my right hand man, and you, my right hand man, and ……”

“As well as what?”

“And my right hand man!”

I laughed out loud, and Xu Dalong followed suit.

“It’s my treat today, let’s not get drunk!”

“Really? We’re going to the Drunken Flower House?”

“No, we’re going to the Windjammer.”

I said, shaking my head.

“The Windfall Residence? That’s too shabby, isn’t it?” Xu Dalong was a bit dissatisfied.

“Happy today, let me break the bank for once.”

“Well, since you’ve said so, I’ll be respectful. I’m going to spend all my savings today!”

I smiled and didn’t say anything.

We arrived at the second floor of the Windrush Residence and found a seat by the window.

“Welcome, sword catcher.”

During this recent period of time, the business of the Wind Flow Residence was exceptionally prosperous, and the owner Zhao Chunpei also made a lot of money as a result. All of this, thanks to the rectification of Department Six, since I came to the Western Fantasy Town, the security of the town is much better, those ruffians and hooligans do not dare to be as reckless as before.

“Don’t worry today, I won’t be slamming your table again.” I said with a smile.

“Haha, it doesn’t matter if it’s smashed, as long as the person is fine.” Zhao Chunpei laughed cheerfully.

“This friend of mine is treating us today, so feel free to serve good wine and food, no need to be polite.”

“Okay, you’ll see!”

Zhao Chunpei turned around and left, and in a short while, he came over with a few small dishes and a jug of wine.

Neither of us said anything, we just drank and ate in silence, each with our own thoughts.

The figure of the Soul Regenerating Demon Goddess surfaced in my mind, and my heart was filled with anger and killing intent.

If it were before, I would have immediately rushed to the martial arts training ground and practiced like crazy until I was exhausted.

When I was younger, whenever I was frustrated, I would put all my energy into practicing as a way to paralyze myself and escape reality.

But now, I don’t do that anymore.

I know that by running away, I’m only making myself weaker.

I’m going to be calm, I’m going to be rational, and I’m going to work my way out of this.

“I’m feeling a bit strange today, my heart is beating hard.” Xu Dalong suddenly said.

“Did you see a beautiful woman? Where is it?” I said jokingly.

“Don’t make fun of me.” Xu Dalong laughed bitterly, “Don’t you like beautiful women?”

“Who says I don’t like beautiful women?”

“But I feel as if you have little interest in women.”

A woman?

In my previous life, I ended up alone and unattached, but because of this, I was able to pursue the martial arts without any distractions.

“Have you been feeling lonely lately?” Xu Dalong asked.

“How can you be lonely when you live alone? I just feel a little bored. Loneliness is an emotion that only comes from being in a crowd.”

“That’s a great quote, I’ll be sure to use it in the future.”

“Then save it for that little sister you like to use.”

“I told you, I don’t like her and there’s no way we can be together.”

“Want me to help you out? Put you in a group with her so you can spend more time together?”

“No, no, just go with the flow.”

“Look, you obviously care about her.”

“I ……”

“Well, enough about that, drink, drink.”

Just then, Zhao Chunpei walked over with several steaming dishes.

Xu Dalong didn’t know yet how his decision today would bring about a change in his life.

“Come on, let’s not get drunk today!”

He raised his glass and exclaimed.
