Chapter 0193 – Scary but Handsome – Absolute Returns

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"How did you know about this store?"

"I am very well informed. The signature dish of this restaurant is your favorite bamboo shoots."

"How do you even know that?"

"Don’t look at me with such a look, I didn’t inquire about your preferences just to poison you. You are my future master, of course I have to know something about you."

In front of us in the line was a middle-aged man, who looked back at Quan Demon and immediately turned pale and trembled with fear.

"You, please ……"

"It’s not necessary."

Quan Demon coldly refused. The man was like an amnesty and ran away without looking back.

I smiled at the power demon:

"In your life, I don’t think you’ve ever stood in line before, have you?"

The power demon didn’t say anything, but I could see the answer in his expression.

"Isn’t that funny?"

Quan Demon looked around at the crowds of people lining up, at the pedestrians coming and going, and at the vendors hawking along the street, his eyes filled with novelty.

"Not bad."

Song Ming Hall was grand in size, and there were a dozen store assistants alone, so the team moved quickly.

Soon, it was our turn. We found a seat by the window and ordered a couple of dishes and a jug of wine.

"Why did you order so much?"

"It’s a rare visit, so of course we have to try it."

The wine and food were quickly served, I picked up the wine pot and was about to pour wine for Quan Demon, but I saw him frowning tightly and staring out the window with an icy gaze. I followed his gaze, only to see a few jianghu people, were passing by the window, their mouths still not cleanly cursing.

I reached out and blocked his view.

"We’re here to relax today and forget about all those unhappy things, okay?"

"Got it."

The power demon withdrew his gaze and poured himself a glass of wine.

"At your age, it is rare to have such cultivation and still be able to keep your composure."

"That’s why I’m going to hang out with you old guys, so I don’t get myself in trouble on a whim."

"It’s natural that you have your own agenda with us, but it’s not easy enough for you to keep your hands clean."

"Wow, that’s the first time you’ve ever complimented me."

I picked up my glass and clinked it with him.

A few moments later, the dishes were served. Quan Demon picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and put it in his mouth.

"It tastes really good."

"I told you, the line is so long, it must have its reasons."

My eyes, falling in the direction of the back kitchen.

"Well? Do you want me to kidnap the cook of this store to the Heavenly Demon Temple?"

"Don’t be ridiculous."

"How do you know I’m full of shit? Maybe I’ll actually do it."

The Power Demon gave me a deep look and suddenly asked:

"Didn’t you say that your magic path is one that won’t overturn the tables of the restaurant?"

I was shocked, not realizing that he knew about it.

"How did you know?"

"I have my sources too."

It seems that what I said to Big Brother earlier was right, the Demon Elders have been secretly observing us.

"Therefore, when others line up, we must line up as well; when others are bullied, we must also see the road and pull out our swords to help them. This is my magic path."

The power demon looked at me steadily, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and resumed eating.

We were having a drink, when all of a sudden, a girl at the neighboring table, initiated a conversation with me.

"This young warrior, is this your first time here?"

"Yeah, it’s my first time."

"Then you’ve come to the right place, there’s a lot of fun to be had here."

"Why don’t you come over and have a drink with us and take your time?"

The girl looked at the demon of power, and when she saw that he had no objections, she readily agreed.

I added a couple of dishes especially for them.

The Power Demon watched this in amazement, obviously, he had never experienced anything like this before.

How dare a girl initiate a conversation with a strange man?

He looked at the two girls warily, wondering if they were up to something. The two girls, however, were simply enjoying themselves and had no malicious intent.

The reason I let them come over is actually for the power demon.

Devil Quan had never married in his life, and he had never heard of any woman he had been involved with. Perhaps it was because of his horrible looks that made him give up on love early on?

So, I wanted him to experience that with women.

We drank and chatted. I made a lot of wonderful remarks and made those two girls laugh. Quan Demon was a bit formal at first, but gradually, he was also infected by the relaxed and happy atmosphere.

I also intentionally throw the topic at him when it comes to things he knows more about.

"Why don’t you tell them about how you single-handedly broke into the Martial Arts Alliance back in the day and caused havoc in the Heavenly Prison’s heroic deeds."

Of course those two girls wouldn’t believe it, they just laughed and snorted a few times. Quan Demon looked at me with a questioning look in his eyes: do we really have to tell? I laughed and shook my head: let’s forget it, they won’t believe it.

In this way, we talked and laughed, and before we knew it, more than an hour had passed. Those two girls got up to say goodbye.

This, in turn, surprised the Power Demon. Just like that? Not even going to make a date to meet up next time?

"You didn’t give them favors in private or threaten them to keep them off your back, did you? They couldn’t be looking at our money bags, could they?"

How could he even think that?

"If that’s not the case, why did they offer to come over and drink with us?"

"Because I’m handsome, of course."

"You?" Quan Demon looked me up and down, "Which eye do you see yourself as handsome?"

"My whole body oozes charm, okay?"

"Cheeky."

"Those two girls, one of them, but they were staring at you from beginning to end."

"Really?" The Power Demon was a bit surprised.

"Of course it’s true, that’s why I invited them over to have a drink with us."

"But you were sitting right next to me."

"You don’t look at your face, how scary it is, do they dare to come over?"

The Power Demon nodded and seemed to think I had a point.

"It seems that you still don’t understand the young people nowadays. They’re not afraid of the sky or the earth, and they can mingle with strangers."

"Aren’t they afraid of meeting bad people?"

"Young people nowadays have a lot of guts."

"Aren’t you a young man too?"

"Of course I do, I’m not too bold."

"Your guts, they’re not normal."

"And what’s the second reason?"

"Although you do look scary, you have decent features and are actually not ugly. One could even say that you’re quite handsome."

Quan Demon froze, it was the first time he had shown such a shocked expression since I had known him. It seems that no one has ever complimented him on his good looks.

"Even if you want to kiss my ass, please say something I can accept."

"I’m good at kissing ass, but I’m telling the truth. In the eyes of a girl, with your kind of looks, you might be very attractive. Moreover, you are well-built and give people a sense of security and safety."

Demon Quan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say.

"In short, you are one of those men who are scary-looking and handsome!"

When I finished, I picked up my glass of wine and drank it down.

The power demon pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.

"You’re a crazy person."

"These are the words that I finally heard from your mouth as well!"

Just then, a store boy walked towards us. The kid looked to be only about ten years old, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying, obviously having suffered from something.

"I, I’ve been watching you for a long time and you seem like a good person ……"

He looked pitifully at Quan Demon and pleaded:

"Please, help me."

The child’s eyes were so full of despair and helplessness that one couldn’t help but look at them.

I gently stroked his head and said to the demon of power:

“You see, you are not only handsome, but you are also so kind that even children can feel your kindness.”
