Chapter 0377 – Extreme Corps Chaos – Absolute Return

“What are you looking at?”

Zhao Chunpei’s mother-in-law, Yin, walked to the corner of the An family’s courtyard and asked a young man who was looking down at something.

The young man was staring at the little bugs crawling around in the flowerbed. Yin had never seen the young man before in all this time.

The young man didn’t say a word, just concentrating on the worms. Seeing this, Yin thought that she had disturbed him, so she apologized and said, “Is my old self disturbing you? I’m sorry, this Lord Martial Artist.”

Yin was polite to anyone in the An family, whether it was a martial artist or a servant, she would treat them with courtesy. This was not because she was afraid, but because she was grateful.

All her life, she had lived a life of purity and misery, and now, she was able to enjoy such a comfortable life. She had three meals a day, all of which were delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and there were countless new clothes to wear. For the first time in her life, she was able to wear such gorgeous silk clothes. She could sleep until she woke up naturally, and she could also enjoy her leisure time in the afternoon. All of this made her feel grateful to everyone in the An Family.

Just as Yin turned to leave, the young man suddenly spoke up, “That’s the ‘Dragon Poisonous Insect’, which can only be seen in this neighborhood.”

“I see.” Yin nodded and crouched down beside the young man, watching the little bug with him.

Although the young man didn’t look very old, his tone and demeanor were very mature and steady.

The bug crawled into the grass and disappeared. Yin looked at the bulging pockets around the young man’s waist and said with a smile, “Your money bag, it’s quite cute.”

The young man had several money pouches hanging around his waist, and on each of them, a different animal pattern was embroidered, which looked very interesting. Only those who did business on the streets would hang so many money bags around their waist, right? Of course, this young man was definitely not a businessman since he appeared in the An Family.

“I’ve eaten your son-in-law’s cooking.” The young man said suddenly.

Yin froze at his words and asked in surprise, “How did you know?”

“I live in the neighborhood.” The young man replied.

“I see, come often in the future! My Chunpei ah, he’s honest and his craftsmanship is good.” As soon as Yin heard that the other party was a guest of her son-in-law’s tavern, she immediately smiled and greeted him warmly.

“Are you hungry? There’s still food in the kitchen, I’ll go get you some?” Yin asked.

She looked at the young man’s young age and thought that he was an underling hired by the An Family. Even if the other party was a martial artist, he was probably just a minor character with little status.

“No thanks.” The young man politely declined.

“How can you not eat? It’s the time to grow your body. You wait, I’ll go get it for you.” Yin said, then got up and walked towards the house.

The young man looked at Yin’s back and whispered, “I’m past the age of growing my body.”

Not long after, Yin carried a tray and came out of the house.

However, the young man had disappeared.

“Where is he? How come he’s gone in a flash? Really, couldn’t you wait for me?” Yin said with some disappointment.

Just then, Zhao Chunpei walked out of the house.

“Chunpei, are you hungry? I’ll make you something to eat?” When Yin saw Zhao Chunpei, she immediately asked with concern.

Ever since he came to the An family, his mother-in-law had cared for him so much that he was a little embarrassed.

“I’m fine, you don’t have to work. If you’re hungry, I’ll make it for you.” Zhao Chunpei said with a smile.

“No no no, all my life, I’ve been taking care of others, it’s rare that I get a chance to have a good rest.” Yin said in a hurry.

“Don’t be polite to me, your old man.” Zhao Chunpei said.

“By the way, what’s on the end of your hand?” Zhao Chunpei looked at the tray in Yin’s hands and asked.

“Oh, I saw a young man and thought he was strange and pitiful, so I wanted to get him some food, but in a flash, the person disappeared.” Yin said with some regret.

“What young man?” Zhao Chunpei was a bit puzzled, why didn’t he see it?

“That’s the one, pretty handsome looking little tiny teenager.” Yin said.

Zhao Chunpei was even more puzzled, when did the An family, have such an extra character?

“He said he’s even been to your tavern.” Yin said.

“My tavern? Impossible, right?” Zhao Chunpei was even more certain that he didn’t know any “handsome little boy” at all.

Just then, the young man walked in from outside. In his hands, he held a large pile of unknown herbs.

“Old man, your legs aren’t very good.” The young man walked up to Yin and said.

“Hey, when people get old, they hurt everywhere. How did you know I have bad legs and feet?” Yin asked in surprise.

In her life, she had fallen victim to a number of illnesses, the most serious of which was a leg problem.

“You should feel better if you decoct these herbs.” The young man said as he handed the herbs in his hand, to Yin.

“How can this be a good thing? Thank you so much.” Yin was so excited, she didn’t know what to say.

“My son-in-law is indebted to you for taking care of him, and all this is proper.” The young man said.

With that, he turned and walked into the house.

Turns out, he’s the Poison King!

Two days ago, when the Poison King came to the An Family, he learned from Ma Yin, who was in charge of managing the An Family, that Zhao Chunpei’s family was also there. He specifically instructed Ma Yin not to tell Zhao Chunpei that he had come.

Because he knew that if Zhao Chunpei knew he had come, he would definitely give himself the best room and would try to entertain himself, so that Zhao Chunpei’s family, would not be able to have a good rest.

,!

That was why he chose, without alarming Zhao Chunpei, to stay in the guest room for two days.

The reason why he suddenly appeared and sent herbs to Yin was also because he knew that Jian Wuji valued Zhao Chunpei. He was helping Jian Wuji by taking care of Zhao Chunpei’s family.

“Thank you, thank you so much, Lord Poison King!”

Seeing that the Poison King had sent such a precious herb to his mother-in-law, Zhao Chunpei was so excited, he didn’t know what to say.

“Chunpei ah, did I do something wrong?” Yin also realized that this young man, I’m afraid his identity is not simple.

“You didn’t do anything wrong, if he was really angry, he wouldn’t have sent you such a precious herb.” Zhao Chunpei comforted.

“Yeah, he’s a really good guy.” Yin lamented.

She bowed deeply in the direction the Poison King had left.

“Thanks to you, Chunpei, I can live such a good life.” Yin looked at Zhao Chunpei and said gratefully.

“Don’t worry, these herbs, I will properly decoct them for you to drink.” Zhao Chunpei received the herbs and said solemnly.

He suddenly missed Jian Wuji.

All of this was brought to him by Sword Wuji.

“Young Sect Master, you must return safely! When you return, I’ll be sure to ……”

“What do you want to do?”

Zhao Chunpei was startled and quickly turned to look.

Only to see that Jian Wuji was standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

It turned out that Jian Wuji had rushed back without stopping after leaving the Orthodox Alliance.

“Young Prelate!”

Hearing Zhao Chunpei’s voice, the Poison King also walked out of the house.

“You brat, you’re pretty fast.” Poison King looked at Jian Wuji and said with a smile.

“This is not because I want to see you earlier, Poison King.” Jian Wuji said with a smile.

Seeing Jian Wuji return safely, a large stone in Zhao Chunpei’s heart finally fell to the ground.

He had the feeling of, from a dream, coming back to reality.

“Young Sect Master, I am unable to repay your great kindness!” Zhao Chunpei said excitedly.

“If you really want to repay me, there is a way.” Jian Wuji said.

“What method?” Zhao Chunpei asked in a hurry.

“After a while, there will be a noble guest that will visit your tavern. At that time, you must behave well.” Jian Wuji said meaningfully.

Zhao Chunpei looked at Jian Wuji in confusion.

Previously, when the Eight Devil Sovereigns came, Jian Wuji didn’t say that either. This time, what kind of honored guest was it that could make Jian Wuji attach such importance to it?

Just then, Yin and the others, too, walked out from the house and warmly greeted Jian Wuji.

“Thanks to the Young Preceptor, we, as a family, were able to have the honor of coming to the An Family and spending an unforgettable time. Thank you so much.” Yin said gratefully.

Jian Wuji held Yin’s hand and said sincerely, “Old man, take care of your health.”

The next day, Zhao Chunpei’s family, was about to leave the An Family. In order to show his appreciation, Zhao Chunpei decided, to personally cook a sumptuous dinner for the crowd.

Jian Wuji, the Poison King, the Poison Boy, as well as the An Family’s martial artists and servants, were all sitting around the table, enjoying the delicious food that Zhao Chunpei had personally cooked.

Zhao Chunpei was busy in the kitchen while his wife was on the sidelines, toasting the crowd and thanking everyone for taking care of him during this time.

The Poison King sat at the table, not saying a word, seemingly thinking about something on his mind.

Seeing this, Shang He, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative to fill up Jian Wuji’s wine cup and said, “During this period of time, it’s really hard on you.”

Ever since he had met Jian Wu Ji, the Poison King had been undergoing a change. And this change was exactly what Shang He had been, all along, hoping to see.

If it wasn’t for Sword Wuji, I’m afraid the Poison King wouldn’t have left the Thousand Poisons Forest, much less live with Marble, picking herbs, eating, and living like an ordinary person.

“I should be the one to thank you. This time, thanks to you, we were able to turn the danger into a safe haven.” Jian Wuji raised his wine cup and said.

“When you’re free, you can come to the Thousand Poison Forest to play.” Shang He said.

“Alright, once I’ve gone to see my family father and dealt with the matters of the Martial Alliance, I’ll go see you.” Jian Wuji said.
