Chapter 0139 – Punishment of the Cowardly Alcoholic – Absolute Returns

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

The Drunken Demon was as royally drunk as ever, and did not respond to any of my calls.

"Elder Drunken Devil! Elder Drunken Demon!"

I sighed helplessly, this old drunkard, drinking like this, is a real headache.

I simply stopped caring about him, and as soon as I picked him up, I walked to the edge of the lake and unceremoniously dropped him.

"Puff!"

After a loud bang, the Drunken Devil sank like a stone, half a day without moving.

"What a way to take you!"

I shook my head helplessly and leapt into the lake.

Unsurprisingly, the Drunken Devil was lying at the bottom of the lake huffing and puffing as I struggled to drag him out of the water.

"Elder, wake up!"

The drunken demon opened his eyes in a daze, and it took a long time before he recognized me.

"Mr. Lee?"

I was the first to leap into the canoe, but the drunken devil remained floating on the water, staring at the sky.

"Elder, aren’t you going to come up?"

"I’m fine staying right here."

"What? Playing some rebellious trick again? If it weren’t for the fact that you’re still handsome, I wouldn’t bother with you."

"My handsomeness is not for you, hurry up and get me a drink!"

"What? Still want to lie in the water and drink? How many of your Drunken Demon’s stunts is this again?"

Seeing that I was unmoved, the Drunken Demon lazily stretched out his palm, and the wine jugs on the ship automatically flew up as if summoned and fell into his hands. He lay on his back and drank leisurely.

"The rumors are true, aren’t they?"

The Drunken Devil didn’t answer, just drank to himself.

"What the hell happened?"

The drunken devil turned a deaf ear and swam to the center of the lake on his own.

I paddled and followed.

"I asked you to go and reconcile with the Blood Heavenly Demoness, but you’re so good that you’re directly asking for a fight? Isn’t this clearly going against me? Hurry up and come up here, let’s have a good talk!"

"It’s not my fault, it’s all that old woman’s fault! I gave her wine, and she even threw it away, and purposely threw it in her yard!"

The Drunken Devil’s nose had always been sensitive, and it seemed that the Blood Heavenly Demoness had indeed angered him with this move.

"And then what? What did she say again?"

The drunken devil sat up and placed the empty jug across his body, and miraculously, neither he nor the jug sank.

"She said that I was using alcohol to drown my sorrows and escape reality, and that I was the most unproductive of all the Demon Elders. Of course I was unconvinced and retorted to her, saying that some people, ah, obviously don’t drink, but live a more confused life than anyone else, and I don’t know who is more pathetic."

"You two are really half-assed, you’re both a handful of years old, why are you still acting like children?"

"She obviously provoked it first!"

"So?"

"I didn’t want to get into it with her, but she just wanted to compete with me ……"

"Compare it to Extremely Evil Evil?"

The Drunken Demon nodded and mimicked the tone of the Blood Sky Demoness.

"You’re worse than the guy in the mask, who only covered his face, but you even closed your heart!"

He mimicked it so well that it was almost as if the Blood Sky Demoness was there in person.

"How dare she compare me to that guy? She said I’m not as good as him? I almost lost my temper on the spot!"

"And then what?"

"What else could it be? Of course I’m going to fight back! I told her that like the Extremely Evil Evil Demon, being depressed all day long over a woman is not as good as me living in style!"

I shook my head helplessly.

"You’re not poking her where it hurts, you’re simply exposing her scars!"

"That’s called dragon scales for her, am I fish scales? Obviously she was the one who provoked me first!"

The Drunken Devil said, diving headfirst into the water and diving to the bottom of the lake, only to surface after a while.

"Go back to her and tell her that I was wrong and to yell at her all she wants, and that I’ll never say anything back as long as she takes the edge off."

"No go! Why should I apologize? She should apologize first!"

"So what do you want?"

"I …… I don’t know."

The Drunken Devil swam to the center of the lake again, and instead of chasing after him this time, I turned the boat around and headed in the opposite direction.

"The only reason I don’t want to duel her is because of you."

"Because of me?"

Drunken Devil’s voice came from behind him with a hint of unprecedented seriousness.

"If she and I do fight, I’m afraid that old woman you like, her life will be in danger."

I paddled faster, pretending I hadn’t heard him.

"Drunken talk is not enough."

"I’m telling the truth!" Drunken Devil’s voice came from behind him.

"Got it! Your old man can wake up the bar in peace, I’ll go and return. If you’re not awake when I come back, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

I left the Drunken Dream Mansion and headed straight to the Blood Sky Demoness’s residence.

As usual, the Blood Heavenly Demoness was practicing, only today’s moves were extraordinarily harsh, as if a great battle was imminent.

"Isn’t it just dealing with a drunk? As for being so desperate?"

The Blood Heavenly Demoness put away her long sword and walked to the side to sit down on a stone bench, she was drenched in fragrant sweat and had obviously been practicing for a long time.

"What would happen if the Demon Elders killed each other?"

"What consequences can there be? Nothing of consequence."

"You mean, no one will care?"

"Exactly."

"If that’s the case, then why don’t Demon Elders ever kill each other?"

"Because they all know that once war starts, one side is bound to fall. Even if they survived, they would be greatly injured and their prestige would be lost, so who would still obey the leadership of a loser?"

"Why did you agree to a duel when you knew the consequences would be so dire?"

"What? Are you worried about me being ousted by that guy?"

"You’ve been a Demon Lord for so many years, I’m afraid it’s hard to adapt when you suddenly become an ordinary person, right?"

The Blood Sky Demoness suddenly sighed.

"Could it be that in your eyes, I’m the type of person who would do anything to keep his position as a Demon Lord?"

"Then why did you agree to a duel?"

"For you."

What a dissimilarity. The Drunken Devil says he’s not dueling me for my sake, while the Blood Sky Witch says she’s going to duel me for my sake.

"That guy’s sudden show of kindness to me must be because of you, you made him come to reconcile with me, right? You purposely provoked him just to get me to make a move, right?"

"Elder Drunken Devil said that you spoke out of turn and insulted Elder Sword Venerable ……."

"So what? Who doesn’t know that the Swordfather is my weakness? However, at my age, I have long since learned how to utilize my weakness."

"So, you are deliberately provoking Drunken Demon Senior to take this opportunity ……"

"That’s right, I want you to use this opportunity to take him in completely. I know that you’ve always been suspicious of him, and if it were anyone else, I’d never agree, but you’re an exception. I believe in you and will be able to take control of him and make him work for you."

The Blood Sky Demoness’s words shook me to the core, so she had seen through everything long ago.

"Thank you, Senpai."
