Chapter 0399 – Dark Shadows of Kidnapping – Absolute Returns

It was a provocative statement.

If she wanted to buy us ice wine, she should have said hello to me before she said hello to the Drunken Devil.

Yet she came up with this statement, and she must have calculated that the drunken demon would not find her rude. Because, this invitation had something to do with alcohol. In other words, she already knew that the person I was with was the Drunken Devil.

It also showed that the Ice Palace had a strong intelligence network in the North Sea.

Since she knew who we were, there was a good chance that she, too, knew Lee Ann’s whereabouts. I knew that this was not a good thing for Liam.

The North Sea Ice Palace, although not an enemy of the Sky Demon God Sect, was definitely not a friend either.

I looked at Cold Snow quietly, wanting to know what the difference was between the rumored her, and the real her.

“Do you like to drink?”

Cold Snow seemed a bit surprised as she replied calmly:

“I like to drink alone.”

At the corner of the Drunken Devil’s mouth, a smile appeared. He liked drinking alone the most.

“Let me introduce to you, this is the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect’s Demon Lord, the Drunken Demon.”

Cold Snow respectfully bowed to the Drunken Demon.

“I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“I’ve long heard that the Ice Palace’s Qianjin is as beautiful as a heavenly fairy, and when I see her today, she really lives up to her name.”

“You flatter me.”

Although Cold Snow looks gentle and sweet, it is very different from the rumored image of the cold and heartless one. But I know in my heart that

A man’s callousness is not shown in his appearance, but in his decisions and choices.

So I can’t hold it against her. I don’t know her yet.

Cold Snow looked at me and said:

“You haven’t answered my question.”

I leave the decision, to the drunken devil.

“Do you want a drink?”

Cold Snow was a bit puzzled, with the Young Sect Master and the Demon Lord together, shouldn’t the Young Sect Master be the one to make the decisions? It seems like she treats me as her subordinate, and she is the one giving the orders.

But this Young Sect Leader, left the decision, to the Drunken Devil.

Drunken Devil looked at Cold Snow.

I feel that the drunken demon is no longer the “brother” that I bullied.

He is a wine master who possesses a unique perspective and sees the world in a way that is different from us. What would he say about this Ice Palace daughter?

“Since it’s ice wine, I certainly can’t say no.”

Coldsnow nodded and made a gesture to her men, who were standing outside. Her beloved? , holding a jug of white wine, walked in and handed it to her.

“This is the ice wine brewed by our Ice Palace.”

He opened the wine pot, and a refreshing aroma of wine filled the air. The drinkers in the tavern all revealed intoxicated looks.

There were many kinds of ice wine in the North Sea, but the best one was the ice wine brewed by the Ice Palace. This aroma is exactly unique to Ice Palace Ice Wine.

Cold Snow poured me a glass of wine first.

As she poured the wine, she recalled what her mother, the Ice Palace Palace Master, had said to her:

-The Young Bishop, is not an ordinary person.

She’s also heard about me and how I’m changing the landscape of the martial arts.

-You have to be careful with him, don’t let him take advantage of you.

Mother had never judged a person like that before, and she seemed to value me.

‘Is he really that good?’

He was currently smiling and savoring a fine wine, not looking like a big shot at all. On him, there was also no kind of, the kind of majesty that could suppress a Demon Dignitary.

Coldsnow poured another glass of wine for the drunken demon.

Finally, the drunken devil poured her a drink.

“I like to drink alone too.”

The three of us raised our glasses.

“This wine, it’s good.”

I heartily marveled. Before I was reborn, I had also drunk ice wine, but it wasn’t this good. It seems that the flavor of wine is also affected by the environment and mood.

“Aren’t you afraid of the poison in the wine?”

Cold Snow asked. I looked at the Drunken Demon, I’m impervious to all poisons, so of course I’m not afraid. But is it really okay for you to drink like this?

Drunken Devil said:

“If you poisoned the meal, I might not be able to detect it. But if you poisoned the wine, even if you used an invisible poison, I would be able to smell it.”

“True to its name.”

I said as I poured a glass of wine for Cold Snow:

“Nice to meet you.”

I don’t know her, but I know, what she will go through in the future. Or rather, I know, how she will die.

“What is it you came to see me about?”

“Yes.”

Coldsnow said what she came for.

“Northern Blood Sect, you guys should know, right? Their second son, he’s been kidnapped. Have you guys heard about it?”

“We just heard.”

“This matter, I think, is the work of someone from the Heavenly Demon God Sect.”

The atmosphere became tense.

“Why do you think that?”

“The person who kidnapped him was so godlike that the people from the Northern Blood Sect couldn’t find any trace of him. We, the Ice Palace, also sent people to look for him, but we couldn’t find him either. This person, is either very smart or has specialized training.”

Lee Ann, you are amazing!

“That doesn’t mean that it’s us, the Heavenly Demon God Sect, who did it, does it?”

“I have an important piece of evidence.”

Cold Snow looked at me and said:

“You, are the proof.”

I remained calm.

“Why do you say I, as evidence?”

“Because you, at this time, appeared in the North Sea.”

“It’s just your guess.”

“That’s right, and if you deny it, I can’t prove it.”

I finally realized why everyone said that Cold Snow was cold and heartless. When she spoke, she didn’t have any emotional coloring, she was just stating the facts.

She didn’t even look skeptical or look at me with suspicion.

It wasn’t a matter of how much was said, but the way it was said. Although she said a lot of things, she didn’t have any feelings, and that’s why it made people think that she was cold.

“That’s right, and I think, in this case, it was my men.”

I admit it.

“That would be good, this is the territory of the Ice Palace, you have your men, release the Second Duke of the Northern Blood Sect, and then hand him over to us. If the Second Duke of the Northern Blood Sect, can return safely, we will mediate and then return your men to you.”

I had a smile on my face, but my tone, however, was firm.

“No way.”

“What do you mean?”

“If my men, kidnapped the second son of the Northern Blood Sect, then he must have his reasons.”

“That’s right, he must have his reasons. But the jianghu, is a place of rules, and personal reasons cannot override the interests of the sect.”

“Would you say the same thing if you were the one, to be sacrificed?”

Cold Snow looked at me and said calmly:

“Of course, I will sacrifice myself for the Ice Palace.”

I could feel that she was serious.

But in her words, she didn’t have the kind of bravado that she was willing to sacrifice for the sake of the sect, nor did she have the kind of loyalty to the sect. I sensed that she was empty, she was like a black hole that swallowed everything around her.

This woman, for life, has nothing left in the tank.

Yang Zhong, completely unable to comprehend, the current situation.

“When were you captured?”

Huang Qiu’s answer surprised him.

“Two days ago.”

“So, you were captured before us?”

“It should be.”

Yang Zhong and Zhou Kui, immediately felt creeped out. In that case, the other party had come prepared, and they had first captured the tracking expert Huang Qiu before turning on them. This was too terrifying.

“It seems that the other party had it all planned out.”

“Who the hell did this? Who dares to go against our Northern Blood Sect?!”

At that moment, a voice, rang out in the darkness.
