Chapter 0305 – Two People Look Good Together – Absolute Returns

Only Shang Sun, amused by my words.

The Poison King and the Devil Buddha, their personalities were diametrically opposed. One likes to be alone, the other likes to socialize.

Seeing how well they got along, it occurred to me that, perhaps, they both envied each other’s lives.

The Poison King might have envied the Devil Buddha, who could travel the world freely and interact with people as he pleased. He, on the other hand, could only hide in the Heavenly Poison Forest and live in isolation.

The Devil Buddha might have envied the Poison King, being able to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and enjoying the tranquility of solitude. He, on the other hand, had to run around for the sake of the Heavenly Demon Sect, dealing with all sorts of people.

That’s why they hit it off so well, because they both see, in each other, what they want out of life.

What about me? What kind of life do I want to live?

I’ve been thinking about this ever since I killed Elder Demonizer. What should I do when I’ve accomplished my mission? How should I live?

I can’t always think about the future because I worry that I’ll miss the present.

The Devil Buddha suddenly asked, “The Fist Demon has been making a lot of moves lately, you ordered it, right?”

The Fist Demon had taken in two disciples, recognized a righteous daughter, and even selected an heir, so it was natural for the Demon Buddha to be curious.

“You know Master’s character, how could he listen to me?” I said.

“You might be able to influence him.” Devil Buddha said.

“You flatter me.” I said.

The Poison King had been looking at the Nine Yin Grass, and I knew that he couldn’t wait to use it to develop a new poison.

“When are you going to see your big brother?” Devil Buddha asked.

“Why should I go see him first? I’m going to see him last.” I said.

“The last time I drank with your big brother, he mentioned you.” Devil Buddha said.

“As long as he didn’t yell at me, I’m thankful.” I said.

I never thought I’d miss my big brother.

“Winners, can never understand the pain of losers, your elder brother, is a great loser.” Devil Buddha said.

“Thanks to you being there for him all the time.” I said.

Devil Buddha looked at me and said, “You don’t have to say such things anymore.”

“I’m going to keep saying it because it’s from my heart.” I said.

I felt that the golden light on the Devil Buddha’s body, shone even brighter.

Just as I was chatting with the Devil Buddha, the Poison King had already taken the Nine Yin Grass and returned to his place. I looked through the window and saw that he was concentrating on the Nine Yin Herb.

“Let’s go.” Devil Buddha said.

“Good.” I said.

Devil Buddha and I left the Poison King’s residence. Shang Shan didn’t follow us out, but just stood at the door, bidding us farewell.

At this time, the Poison King’s voice, came from the distance, “Young Sect Master, where are you going? Don’t go, I’m going to use you to test the poison!”

Last time, when he helped me collect the elixir, I promised him that I would help him test the poison.

I pretended I hadn’t heard and picked up my pace.

The Poison King shouted at the Demon Buddha again, “We’ll bet on who can find the Returning Immortal Herb next time!”

A smile appeared on the Devil Buddha’s face.

I realized that he had changed too. In the past, he always took the shortest route, using his little short legs and moving fast. Now, however, he chose a route with beautiful scenery, walking slowly, and even stopping to admire the scenery.

I suddenly remembered, what I had once said to him in front of the cave in his hometown, “You should come out of that small and dark place.”

Perhaps he had come out of that cave and was looking for a new life.

“The Poison King will definitely use you again to get you to help him find the Returning Immortal Herb.” I said.

The Devil Buddha said slowly, “His meal, it’s to my liking, and I’m willing to help him.”

Meanwhile, Situ Zong, was wandering around the marketplace of Ma Jia Village.

He passed by the Wind and Moon Restaurant and continued onward to a small flower nursery at the edge of the village. This flower nursery, sold both flowers as well as saplings and flower seeds.

Everyone in the Northern Heavenly Sword Family knew that he often came here.

Previously, when he was still the right-hand man of One Flower Sword Zun, he often went to a large flower nursery.

But now, he had lost the trust of Sword Exalted, and could only come to this small, remote flower garden and sit for half a day, looking at those flowers and trees in a daze.

Everyone knew how much he had once longed to become the Swordfather’s successor, so they could all understand his feelings. If one day, he suddenly committed suicide, everyone would not be surprised. The sense of loss in his heart, must be great, but no one would try to comfort him, because before, he had only focused on pursuing success, ignoring the people around him.

The owner of the flower garden, an amiable woman.

“Welcome.” The woman said.

Situ Zong ignored the woman’s greeting and walked straight to the corner of the flower garden and sat down, looking at the saplings in a daze. The flowers had already given up and only some evergreen saplings remained.

The woman knew that he often came here and sat for half a day, so she did not disturb him.

He seems to want to get rid of the troubles in his mind by observing the plants, but he doesn’t really let go of them; he remains immersed in worldly desires.

“I even went so far as to sell my body for you, and you abandoned me?”

Did he know what it was like to give another man to a woman in order to get her? His heart was filled with resentment, cursing Qing Xian. He forgot that it was he himself, who wanted to use Qing Xian, to control the One Flower Sword Exalt in the first place.

Not only did he hate Qing Xian, he also hated One Flower Sword Venerable.

Qing Xian parted ways with him without hesitation after he became a Demon Zun. He lost his last hope of becoming a Swordfather.

He lived in hatred every day, he dreamed of, killing Sword Exalted One Flower and then committing suicide; he also dreamed of, killing Qing Xian and then committing suicide; he also dreamed of, killing both of them and then committing suicide. Yes, since he couldn’t become a Sword Exalt, then he would die with them.

He had never thought that he would be able to achieve success through his own efforts, which was why he was so desperate, and why he wanted to jade. Only, he didn’t have that strength.

Just when he was at the end of his rope, a man, appeared in his life.

This person, was the one who was now giving him a voice.

“Have you seen the Demon Regent?”

The person who transmitted the voice was surprisingly the owner of the flower garden. The reason why Situ Zong would often come here was not to relieve the bitterness in his heart, he was not the type of person who would give up on himself because of a lost love.

“I have gone to meet her as you commanded, but she did not kill me.” Situ Zong said respectfully.

He was not a person who easily trusted others, nor was he a person who easily bowed his head. This woman, however, had appeared by his side when he was at his most vulnerable, and, had quickly gained his trust.

For this woman, to want to control the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Soul Regenerating Demon, this was simply heavenly, but Situ Zong believed that she would be able to do it. Because he had already seen the terrifying power that this woman hid under her ordinary appearance.

He is with three women, entangled. His destiny, he believes, is destined to be linked to women.

“You go see her one more time, enrage her, make her use her regimen on you, make her kill you.”

Situ Zong certainly wouldn’t obediently go to his death, this woman, prepared a back way for him.

“When she uses the Soul Regeneration Technique on you, you must activate the Yin-Yang Reverse Soul Technique.”

The Yin Yang Reverse Soul Technique, a long lost secret technique, could rebound the other party’s soul regeneration technique and control them. However, this secret art could only be used if one had a relationship with the other party.

This was the reason why Situ Zong was chosen. He didn’t care what exactly this woman’s purpose was, he only wanted to use the Soul Regenerating Demon who was controlled by the Yin-Yang Reverse Soul Technique to kill the Sect Master or the Young Sect Master.

“You must keep your word.” Situ Zong said.

The woman was carrying a huge sapling, and when she heard Situ Zong’s words, she stopped, straightened her back, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, “As long as you complete the task, the Sword Venerable’s position, will be yours, and the Sword Venerable of the One Blossom, will also become your woman.”
