Chapter 0394 – Mysterious Smile of the Ally – Absolute Return

“Boss, I’m outta here.”

Zhao Chunpei didn’t know what to say, he didn’t know how to express his gratitude. In the end, he could only say to his guest as usual:

“Sir, take care!”

How could Jian Wuji not understand his feelings? He also said to Zhao Chunpei as usual:

“Boss, business is booming!”

After Jian Wuji left, those people who were originally hiding in the distance flocked into the restaurant. It was thought that tonight, Zhao Chunpei would definitely keep showing off to them and forbid them from making loud noises near that wall. As long as those people were still alive, that wall, would always exist.

After returning to the Heavenly Demon God Sect, I immediately rushed to the Sect Master’s Hall.

I’d like to meet today’s protagonist. However, the father who made it possible for good and evil to join forces is not in the Patriarch’s Hall.

“Young Sect Leader, the Sect Leader has instructed that when you arrive, he will take you directly to him.”

The guards? Taking me with him, I arrived at the hot spring behind the Sect Master’s Hall. This is my father’s private hot spring, he usually never lets me near here, what’s wrong today?

Father was soaking in a steaming hot spring.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a hot spring with my father! It’s so nice!”

I was about to undress when my father stopped me. My clothes closed automatically and I was pushed back by an invisible force.

“It’s too much! I want to soak in the hot springs too!”

My father shook his head and refused my request.

“You wouldn’t have put some kind of elixir in the hot spring, would you? After you soak in it, you’ll be invulnerable to swords and spears? That’s why you won’t let me get close?”

The father closed his eyes and said:

“It’s just ordinary hot spring water, passed down from a long time ago.”

“Then you should also put some elixirs in there, this is the hot spring of a Heavenly Demon.”

“Then go buy some elixirs and come back and put them in.”

“It’s better to go all natural.”

Yeah, even if father had changed, he wouldn’t be able to join me in the hot springs. It’s hard enough for him to let me come near here.

“Then I’ll just sit here and take a sauna.”

I’m sitting next to the hot springs.

“What do you think of the Martial Alliance and the Evil Alliance?”

“Same old same old.”

Although my father didn’t say so explicitly, I’m sure he saw many things that I didn’t. Because, they meant something different to him.

My father looked at me and whispered:

“You look tired.”

When I heard those words, I relaxed and my heart was filled with warmth.

Sure enough, it’s my father who knows me best.

I’m really, really tired.

Even though I was dancing, laughing, and joking the whole time, I was in a state of high tension from start to finish.

I’m worried about those behind the scenes, who will sabotage this meeting, so I’m always on my guard. Even with my father, the martial arts ally, and the evil ally present, I can’t afford to drop my guard. Because, intrigues and plots tend to appear just at such times when one’s guard is relaxed.

The good news is that the meeting, ended peacefully.

Those enemies didn’t act rashly, perhaps because they were too powerful. They made the right judgment, and they knew that in this situation, if they acted rashly, they would only put themselves in an even more unfavorable situation.

If the three paths of righteousness, evil and devilry were united because of the invasion of a foreign enemy, then they would be in real danger.

“I do get a little nervous.”

Father nodded.

“Won’t you compliment me?”

“You’re doing great.”

“Even though it’s a soft compliment I got, I’m still happy.”

I said as I looked around the room:

“I remember, I’ve been here before.”

Father’s body, slightly trembled. Although the heat blurred my vision, I was still able to see my father’s expression through the Divine Eye Technique.

“I remember that I was crying from the heat and you were the one who carried me in. I also remember that my brother just sat there, not afraid of the heat at all. It seems that he has been trying to please you since he was a child.”

“Even if he becomes the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon God Sect, you’ll still badmouth him behind his back.”

“As you can see, he did so well today, so of course I can’t take it lightly.”

How could my father not understand that I was complimenting my brother?

I looked at my father and said sincerely:

“Thank you, Father.”

“Thank me for what?”

“Thank you for everything.”

My demonic path is hindering my father’s demonic path. He must have realized this again today, and it must have been very uncomfortable for him. Yet he said nothing.

After a moment, the father said:

“You’re tired, go back and rest.”

“Yes, father. You also rest early.”

I’m certainly not going to just leave.

Wow!

I mischievously threw a little water at my father, then turned and ran away.

The droplets, of course, couldn’t even touch Father.

Next time, I’ll rub your back, Father.

Although, I don’t know when that day, will come.

When I got back to my room, I used a temporal illusion to create a second space of my own.

In the first space, there was a blue sea and blue sky, while in the second space, there was a snowy snowfield. On the snowy plain, I built a small hot spring. Seeing my father’s hot spring made me want to soak in it too.

Here, there are only two things.

Snow and stars.

White snow, and twinkling stars in the night sky.

‘How’s that, Father? Isn’t this place more intentional?’

I took off my clothes, folded them and set them aside, then placed the secret book on top of my clothes.

I stepped into the steaming hot springs and sighed in comfort.

“Ahh! That feels so good!”

I looked up at the starry sky and soaked in the warmth of the hot springs, and all the exhaustion that I had felt, dissipated.

I can finally relax. Everyone else’s meeting was over a long time ago, and mine was just now ending.

I talked to Zhao Chunpei, I talked to my father, and it was only after I confirmed that everyone was safe and sound that I could finally let go of my heart.

I felt a wave of relief, accompanied by a hint of weariness. The warm spring water relaxed me even more.

I dove headfirst into the hot springs and immersed myself completely in the water.

The water, reflecting the stars in the night sky, sparkled.

I love this alone time. If you really respect someone, you should respect their time alone. At the moment, I am enjoying my own time.

Oh, I’m not alone.

I poked my head out of the water and said to the secret book:

“Cold? Want to come in for a dip too?”

Thanks to it, I have already absorbed the black essence and the green essence. I don’t know how much more essence I need to absorb before I can fully recover.

If it were anyone else, they would have tried to find a way to research the secret scrolls and the secrets of those essences that I had absorbed. But I was in no hurry.

Since this is all predestined, let’s just go with the flow. I just want to walk with it, like a friend. Of course, I occasionally wonder.

“How much more essence do you need to absorb?”

The secret book, of course, would not answer me.

“Actually, you don’t know, do you?”

Secrets still just smiles at me.
