Chapter 0189 – I’ve been to that island too – Absolute return

Not only did she not quit the squad, but she was also caught by the power demon, and now, she was completely desperate.

”I’m finished, completely finished, in this life, I won’t be able to become a power demon.”

In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Li An took the initiative to ask, “Lord Quan Demon, have you been here before?”

The power demon looked at her and didn’t say anything.

Li An was furious at his look and said in his heart, “I just asked a question, why are you looking at me with such a look?”

If Quan Demon knew what she was thinking, he would have felt aggrieved.

“You go and order up some jugs of wine.” Demon Quan said.

“Yes, I’m on my way.”

Qian Su Xi hurriedly got up and left the elegant room as if she had fled.

In the elegant room, only Quan Demon and Li An remained.

“I didn’t expect you to join our squad.” Li An said.

In fact, what she really wanted to ask was:

Did you really join our squad to spar with Gongzi?

Instead of answering her question, Devil Power asked back, “You’re not afraid of me?”

“Afraid.” Liam answered truthfully.

“I see you, not afraid of me at all.”

“That’s because, I trust Gongzi.” Li An said, “If I’m really in danger, Gongzi will definitely protect me.”

Devil Quan’s gaze landed on Jian Wuji, who was behind the counter downstairs.

“Your trust in him is too blind.” Quan Demon said indifferently.

Liam closed his eyes and listened carefully to the voice of the demon of power.

If she didn’t know that the person who spoke was a power demon, she would have thought that it was a gentle and considerate man.

“Men, always think they know a lot about women, when, in fact, they don’t know anything at all. Women, are the ones who know women best.” Li An said, “We’re just playing dumb, or, we’re just waiting for the right time to escape.”

“What about you? Which one are you?” Demon of Power asked.

“I was, originally, the type of person who would flee early, but Gongzi, is the only exception.” Li An said.

“Your trust in him will do you harm.” The power demon said.

“Unfortunately, you’ll never see that day.” Li An said with a smile.

Her trust in Jian Wuji was absolute and unshakeable.

Right at this moment, Jian Wuji and Qian Su Xi, carrying wine jugs, walked into the elegant room.

“Sorry to keep you guys waiting, I had a chat with Boss Zhao.” Jian Wuji said.

He poured a glass of wine for Demon Kwon first, then for Li An and Cheon So Hee.

“You two, don’t get drunk and forget who we are drinking with, tonight.” Jian Wu Ji reminded.

“I’m not a good drinker, so it looks like I’m going to have to fight for my life tonight.” Li An said with a smile.

She turned her head to Chansuhee, “How are you at drinking?”

“I won’t get drunk.” Chansuhee said.

In her mind, she said, “How could I possibly, get drunk in front of Lord Quan Demon?”

“Come on, let’s toast to Lord Power Demon.”

Jian Wuji raised his wine cup and said.

The crowd raised their glasses and drank.

Jian Wu Ji and Li An, taking turns, fired up the atmosphere.

They talked about martial arts, women, men, the Devil’s Cult, the Martial Arts Alliance, and the great events of the world.

The power demon also gradually relaxed, a rare smile on his face.

Yet, I saw a hint of despondency in his smile.

Though he sat with us and talked and laughed, he was always, nevertheless, alone.

He was like an island, isolated from the rest of the world.

I was, at one time, one of those people.

In order to find the materials for The Great Law of Returning to Heaven, I gave up everything, forgot about myself, and lived like a soulless shell.

Perhaps it was the same with the demon of power, who had given up everything and forgotten the joys of life in order to shatter that cliff.

I was just thinking about it when Liam suddenly looked at me with concern in his eyes.

“What are you thinking?” Her eyes, as if asking me.

“Nothing, just a random thought.” I said with a smile.

Qian Su Xi drank a few cups of wine and became bold, she looked at Quan Demon and said, “I last night, thought about it all night, and finally figured out what I want to do after I become strong.”

She said seriously.

“I used to, all I could think about, was how to become a Power Demon, and never thought about what I actually wanted. I just kept telling myself that if I became a Power Demon, I would be happy, and I would have it all.”

Her voice, a little shaky.

“When I get stronger, I want …… to be happy.”

After she finished, she seemed a bit embarrassed and hastily added, “I know, my thoughts, they’re childish and ridiculous, but I really, just want to be happy.”

“Your idea, I think, is very good.” Jian Wuji said.

He looked at Quan Demon and asked, “Lord Quan Demon, what do you think?”

“It’s a bit naive, but not undesirable.” Demon Quan said.

“Do you find it naive, or do you find it undesirable?” Jian Wuji asked, “You’re being ambiguous like this, it’ll bother her.”

“Undesirable.” The power demon said.

Jian Wuji smiled and nodded to Qian Su Xi.

In fact, what Chansuhee really wanted to say was:

I want to be, like the male.

Lee Ann seems to be, so happy that she not only has great strength, but also has someone, who loves her with all her heart.

‘I envy you.’

We raised our glasses and drank again.

Quan Demon put down his wine cup, looked at Jian Wuji and asked, “You said that you wanted to learn boxing in order to become stronger, so what do you want to do after you become stronger?”

He asked, the same question that he asked Chansuhee last night.

“I want to live freely, go wherever I want, and do whatever I want.” I said, “I want to drink and chat with the Demon Venerables, I want to hide in my room alone and cultivate, I want to go out and travel the rivers and lakes, I want to make friends, I want to live in seclusion in a place with beautiful scenery in the mountains, in short, I don’t want to be like my father, trapped in the position of Sect Leader, unable to be free for the rest of my life.”

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

I said, imitating Chansuhee’s tone, and turned around.

Behind me, stood a man.

His appearance caused the entire atmosphere of the elegant room, to change.

Even the Devil of Power had become a bit formal.

He is the Heavenly Devil, Jian Wuchen.
