Chapter 0057 – Hopefully No Other Monsters Will Appear – The Absolute Return

“Well, I went out for a walk and I’m back now.”

“Your martial arts are improving quickly.”

“Do you think I’ve changed?”

Perhaps because of that bout we had earlier, she was sensitive to the changes in me.

“I’d like to have another match with you right now.”

“Yeah, anytime.”

I pulled out the gift I had for her.

“This is my gift to you, I hope you like it.”

I gave her some flower seeds that are hard to get locally.

“These flowers smell good, I brought them especially for you.”

“It’s the first time in all my life that I’ve received a flower seed as a gift.”

“It’s my first delivery too.”

“Thanks, I’ll plant it properly. Come in and have a cup of tea.”

I walked into her room for the first time.

The room was elegantly furnished, and a faint scent filled the air.

“Your room is beautiful.”

“Where is it pretty? It’s just a place where an old woman lives, nothing to see.”

“You’re still young, if you were to walk the streets of Hangzhou with me, the men would be lining up to buy you a drink.”

“Nonsense!”

Although she said so on her lips, a smile appeared on her face. It seemed that she preferred to hear this kind of praise rather than praising her for her superior swordsmanship.

“Let’s go together next time and bring along Senior Blood Heavenly Blade Demon.”

When she heard the name of the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, her face sank. It seems that she still hasn’t forgiven the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon. If it wasn’t for me, she would have flipped out long ago. It’s so hard to make them reconcile.

She changed the subject.

“Did you hear that the Dementor Demon is dead?”

“Well, I heard.”

“Did you have anything to do with his death ……?”

She stared straight at me, her eyes cold.

I knew that she wasn’t concerned about me, but about the other Demon Elders. The death of the Soul Regenerating Demon Sovereign made the other Demon Sovereigns feel threatened.

Lips are dead, teeth are cold, this is the law of survival they have summarized over the years.

“Lord Demon Doctor has confirmed that the Soul Regenerating Demon has gone off the deep end and died.”

“No demon lord would believe that conclusion.”

“But I really didn’t kill him.”

My tone was firm, and only then did Sword Honored One Flower withdraw her skeptical gaze, but in her heart, whether or not she really believed me, I don’t know.

“What makes you think I killed him?”

Perhaps because of our previous bout, she knew I was strong.

“Because you stirred up the storm clouds of the jianghu, the calm lake, has turned into a rough sea. No, it’s not the lake that you like, but the sea, and the moment you appeared, the calm lake, turned into a rough sea. The Soul Regenerating Demon, is the first one to be drowned.”

“I’m just a guy fishing on the beach, I don’t push people into the ocean.”

“You were right, you caught the Blood Sky Blade Demon.”

“Do you think that he will be my prey?”

“If you let him go, maybe there’s a chance. I don’t want to be caught in your net with him.”

I smiled, but she didn’t.

“Things are unpredictable, the Soul Regenerating Demon is so life-sparing that he would be the first to die.”

“West Fantasy Town is going to be a mess.”

“They will fight for the heirship.”

When a Demon Lord dies, his successor will take his place, and he can become the new Demon Lord as long as he is recognized by four of the other seven Demon Lords.

The Soul Regent Demonfather had five disciples, and he had yet to designate a successor, so his five disciples would be fighting fiercely for the position of successor.

“Who do you support?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Of course we want our friend to become the new Demon Lord.”

“Our friend?”

“Yeah, our friend, our bout opponent.”

I intentionally said that to divert her attention from thinking about the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon.

She laughed at my words.

“Well, since it’s a tournament opponent, I’m with you.”

We chatted for a while longer and then I excused myself.

“I should go.”

“Thanks for coming to see me.”

Ichika Swordsman sent me to the courtyard.

“Jian Wuji, when fishing, some fish are easy to hook, while others are very cunning and hard to catch. But you have to be careful, some fish will jump out of the water and attack the fisherman, or even overturn your boat.”

She was reminding me to be careful of the other Demon Lords.

“Thank you for that.”

“And don’t forget, I haven’t taken the bait yet.”

“Haven’t you taken the bait yet, even after you’ve reminded me of this?”

Sword Honored One Flower wasn’t offended by my words, perhaps, she had already acquiesced.

“I’ll take my leave then, you take care.”

I walked out of the wooden house and looked back, only to see One Flower Sword Zun planting flowers in the courtyard, and she was holding the flower seeds I gave her. I vaguely remember that she used to look at me with icy eyes, and now, we have become friends.

She’s right, things are unpredictable.

Just as Father and Sword Exalt One Flower had predicted, the Seven Great Demon Exalts, that very night, held an emergency meeting.

This meeting was to discuss the cause of the death of the Soul Regenerating Demon Lord. Only Demon Elders could attend, so even my father didn’t know exactly what they talked about.

The night after the meeting, the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon came to me.

“Got any wine?”
