Chapter 0054 – Not a Mystery, Because It’s Awkward – Absolute Returns

It’s late at night and all is quiet.

I walked into Blood Sky Blade Demon’s room and he was sitting by the window reading a book.

“What a rare sight.”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon raised his head and looked at me in surprise, his face then revealed a joyful expression.

“Looks like I’m going to have to teach those guards a lesson.”

“No, I was the one who told them not to announce it, I wanted to come and see you quietly.”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon looked me up and down and asked, “You just came back?”

“Uh-huh.”

“First one to come see me since you got back?”

“I apologize for ruining your touch, my father is asleep.”

“Well ……”

“Yes, you were the first person I thought of.”

I said, shaking the wine jug in my hand, which was the Blood Sky Blade Demon’s favorite wine.

We came to the backyard for a drink, and to avoid being disturbed, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon drove away all the guards.

“It’s been two months since you left, right?”

“Not even two months.”

Because the realm of the Wind God Steps has been raised, I came back much faster.

“How is Lord Xu’s martial arts training going?”

“That kid’s working pretty hard.”

The fact that the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon would even say “pretty hard” was enough to show that their relationship had changed greatly.

“He may look a little rebellious, but he actually has a good heart.”

“When did he rebel?”

“He’s very good at reading people and seeing what’s going on.”

Xu Dalong should work hard and be good at kissing ass, but at the same time, he would stick to his principles. It seemed that the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon didn’t hate him.

“I just saw you reading a book of poetry, do you really like poetry?”

“What? You don’t think I’m worthy of poetry?”

“That’s not what I meant, it’s just that I don’t think, you and poetry go well together.”

“When I was younger, I liked to read too, only later, I forgot all about those hobbies.”

It’s hard to imagine that this cold, heartless man loved to read when he was younger.

“What were you like when you were young?”

“Well …… gloomy and lonely.”

“It’s very similar to Lord Xu.”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon surprisingly nodded in acknowledgement.

“It’s all in the past, what’s the point of bringing up those old stories?”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said and drank up the wine in his cup. I silently filled it for him. Any consolation for the years that have passed pales in comparison, as I too have been there.

“How did it go?”

“It went well.”

“It looks like it’s going to set off another storm.”

He heard my confidence in my tone.

“How did you know what I was out doing?”

“What else is there to do but kill and burn?”

“You misunderstand me, I like peace.”

“I like peace too, the kind of peace that comes after you kill all your enemies, when all is silent and blood is shed.”

I smiled and took a sip of my drink.

“It feels good to get out and about, why don’t we go together next time?”

“There are all the people I want to kill out there, I’m more comfortable staying in the main altar.”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon poured me wine while saying, “No matter what you’re going to do, be careful, the battle for the heir, one wrong step, one wrong step.”

“What will you do if I fail?”

“What else can we do? Of course it’s to switch to the Grand Duke’s door.”

“You are so realistic.”

“It’s only natural, what’s the point of me keeping your wings when you’re dead? Of course I have to find another master.”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon is such a person, he won’t sacrifice his own interests for the sake of anyone. But strangely enough, I don’t hate him at all.

This is the charm of the Blood Sky Blade Demon, you don’t have to guess whether he is a good guy or a bad guy, and you don’t have to worry about him betraying you, because he will only choose the side that is favorable to him.

“I have a request.”

“Say it.”

“Tonight, drink all night with me.”

“No problem.”

I stood up and said, “I’m going to get some wine and food.”

“Just let the underlings go.”

“I want to get it myself.”

I’m going to use the gift I’ve been preparing for the past two months to entertain the Blood Heavenly Sword Demon.

I decided to kill the Soul Regent tonight, no one would think that I would do it to him just after I came back.

And the Blood Sky Blade Demon will be my alibi.

“I’ll be back soon.”

I left the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon’s room, performed Shadow Steps, and flew towards the west.

The Soul Regent was in an extraordinarily excited mood today.

He felt euphoric every time he performed the Soul Regeneration Technique, but today, his heart was beating especially fast.

“Could it be because it’s been too long since it was cast?”

Ever since Jian Wuji came to warn him, he stopped practicing the Soul Regeneration Technique.

Although he wouldn’t be discovered if he was careful, he was still a little worried.

Instead, the news of Jian Wuji going out of town made him even more suspicious, and he felt that Jian Wuji was paralyzing him and then secretly investigating him.

But he eventually couldn’t help himself, and today, he decided to start practicing the Soul Regeneration Technique again.

Every time he restarted his cultivation, he would choose a child as a sacrifice because at this time, the souls of children were the most delicious.

As he walked down the stairs of the chamber, he looked back, he always felt a little uneasy that someone was following him.

However, he knew that this was impossible because he had performed the “Black Shadow Secret Art”, and his shadow would protect him so that no one could get close to him. Except for the Demon Lord, no one could escape his Black Shadow Secret Technique.

He walked into the chamber.

The walls of the chamber were painted with all sorts of bizarre patterns and words, and a strange scent filled the air.

On the altar in the center of the chamber lay a sleeping child.
