Chapter 0159 – How Frogs Survive – Absolute Returns

She has regained her composure.

“Life, it’s supposed to be tough, ask anyone from a hundred years ago, or five hundred years ago, and they’ll all tell you that life is tough. The ally, too, would have found it tough, even that shopkeeper, would have found it tough. A child born tomorrow, when it grows up, will also find it tough.”

“That’s why you’re under suspicion, that you, a servant, would say such a thing.”

“Do you doubt me?”

Qin Xia Ling, frankly:

“To be honest, I was really startled when I heard the ‘frog’ analogy.”

“If you believe what he says, you’ll jump from a warm spa, into a boiling hot frying pan.”

Qin Xia Ling, shaking her head, said:

“You’re so talkative, I lost.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’d rather believe you than him.”

“Why, must you choose to believe in one? Why, can’t you trust neither?”

Qin Xia Ling, looking at me, she suddenly felt that if I was really a bad guy, it would be too scary, she felt that I was even more difficult to deal with than that sinister and cunning Cao Xin. But she decided, to trust her intuition.

“You should, right now, worry about yourself, you’re the real danger. I, the frog, am still swimming in warm water, and you, have been thrown into the lava.”

She was very good at reading people, she knew that Cao Xin, would never let me go, and that I dared to drink with the woman he liked, and, that woman, even put in a good word for me.

“My young master, will protect me.”

“No, even if your young master, is a finalist, he won’t be able to protect you, the Cao family’s power, is huge, you should hurry back home.”

“I can’t leave my young master behind, if Cao Xin, really wants to kill me, even if I flee back to my hometown, I won’t be able to hide, instead, I’ll involve my division.”

“You’re right.”

Qin Xia Ling, standing up, said:

“Wait for me, I’ll get a stick and get you out of the lava.”

She left the inn.

Xu Dalong, immediately sat across from me and said:

“A match, it’s not nearly as exciting as watching a play.”

“I thought you said, it’s exhausting.”

“Even if I’m tired, I have to watch the show. That guy, who is he? Is it possible that in all love stories, there has to be a spoiler?”

“To him, I’m the spoiler.”

“He’s kinda good looking.”

“It’s people like that that are more dangerous.”

“That’s right, he wouldn’t have said that if he’d seen you shaved.”

“I’m more dangerous than he is?”

“It goes without saying. Both the looks and the danger.”

Xu Dalong, amused by his own joke, laughed.

“I’m going to watch the show and win the title at the same time.”

“Okay, I’ll watch the show and finish the job at the same time.”

I’m curious to know what Qin Xia Ling, will do.

The next day, she gave an answer that took me by surprise.

“You’re coming with me to the party.”

She wants me, to accompany her to attend, a banquet organized by the head of the Evil Devil Dao Alliance, Cao Xin, will also attend.

“I thought you said that I was too chicken to go?”

“Now, things are different, and I will protect you.”

“How are you going to protect me?”

“Go and you’ll see.”

Going to see the evil Taoist Alliance leader?

Can I hide from him? My cultivation has already reached the realm of “returning to simplicity”, I can hide my breath and make myself look like an ordinary person.

But can I hide my identity from the Evil Taoist Alliance? Can I hide my identity?

Impossible, even if I could disguise my cultivation, to the eighth level, I couldn’t disguise myself as a servant.

Going to meet the Evil Devil Dao Alliance League Leader means that I have to be prepared to expose my identity.

“What are you thinking?”

“I was wondering what your grandfather, if he knew who I was, would do to me.”

Qin Xia Ling, apparently, was worried about something else.

“My grandfather, will not hurt you because of who you are, and even if he is angry, he will come at me.”

“He’s so nerdy, he should respect everyone, right?”

“Sure.”

“And how would he treat, the son of the Heavenly Demon Lord?”

It’s a question I can’t ask.

Of course, even if the Evil Demon Dao Alliance’s Lord, knew my identity, he wouldn’t kill me, otherwise, it would trigger a war. From this perspective, the Evil Demon Dao Alliance, is safer than the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect.

But I’ll be banished, I’ll be disinherited for stirring up trouble.

I thought about it for a long time, and Qin Xia Ling, patiently waited for me.

In the end, I made a decision.

“Okay, I’ll go.”

“You finally figured it out.”

“Meet me at the entrance of the Evil Demon Road Alliance in half an hour, I’m going to get ready.”

“Good.”

I sent Qin Xia Ling away and returned to my room, telling Xu Dalong that I was going to attend the banquet of the Evil Devil Dao Alliance.

Xu Dalong, worriedly asked:

“You really want to go?”

“What do you think, should I go?”

“In the past, you always said that you were going to meet some Demon Monarch, some Demon Elder, and now, you’re actually going to meet the Evil Demon Dao Alliance Leader.”

“What do you think, me, the godfather?”

“I used to, for sure, not like it.”

Every time I told him that I was going to see the Demon Lord, he would back away in fear.

“Now what?”

“I am, now, no longer afraid.”

We smiled at each other, we were in an enemy camp, but it brought us, closer.

“You cultivate well, I’m leaving.”

I looked at myself in the mirror, my hair was a mess, my clothes were in tatters, and I purposely made my hair, even more of a mess, I didn’t change my clothes.

Qin Xia Ling, at the entrance of the Evil Devil Dao Alliance, saw me and asked in surprise:

“I thought you said that you were going to prepare? What did you prepare?”

“I’m like this, don’t I look good?”

“It’s not pretty at all!”

“Should I, uh, change my clothes?”

“It’s too late, let’s go!”

Qin Xia Ling and I, walked into the banquet hall, and everyone’s eyes, were focused on us.

In the crowd, I was like a drop of blood, standing out in black and white.

The Evil Devil Dao Alliance League Leader, is also the same, although in the banquet hall, there is a sea of people, but at a glance, I saw him.

He was like a blue flame, blazing in black and white.

This is the breathtaking aura of a top expert.

Qin Batian, who was chatting with the guests, slowly turned his head and looked at us.
