Chapter 1116: Demon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Kuromon Market was the most popular spot in Osaka. There were all kinds of seafood and beef. Most importantly, it was cheap. The prices here were much lower than the private restaurants elsewhere in j.a.pan. Although the food was not as exquisite, the freshness was almost just as good as the restaurants.

Of course, this depended on what you ate.

Wen Zaifou had no concept of monetary value. This time, Sakurai Yaeko had no entourage by her side. No one was around to carry her wallet for her, but she became the wallet of Lu Shu and Wen Zaifou.

She would happily buy anything, as long as they liked it. Then, she shoved a pile of money to Wen Zaifou. She told him that he could buy anything.

What she meant was, she would give the money to Wen Zaifou and allow him to do whatever he wanted…

To Sakurai Yaeko, she was not here to accompany Wen Zaifou. She had her own objectives. She simply needed the help of Wen Zaifou.

Since they had arrived, she could let Wen Zaifou play by himself…

Although Lu Shu was not happy about accompanying Wen Zaifou, when he saw the king crabs in Kuromon Market, he stopped walking. Sakurai Yaeko gave him money without any questions.

“Hm?” Lu Shu curiously asked, “Where is Wen Zaifou?”

Sakurai Yaeko was shy. She said, “He said that the things there were very interesting, so he went there to take a look… what else do you want to eat? Roasted snails, roasted scallop, roasted prawn, or black carp sus.h.i.+?”

“Oh.” Lu Shu nodded his head. “Let’s order everything and try.”

At that moment, Wen Zaifou suddenly appeared in front of Lu Shu. “Hey hey hey, I’m here!”

When Lu Shu saw him, his expression darkened. Then, he saw two monkey dolls in his hands. He was holding one in each hand.

“How old are you? Why do you still like this kind of thing?” Lu Shu was shocked. “How much were they?”

Wen Zaifou excitedly said, “They are very cute. The one in my left hand cost 20 thousand yen!”

Lu Shu asked, “d.a.m.n, how expensive. What about the one in your right hand?”

Wen Zaifou thought about it. “Three d.a.m.ns.”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.

If it had cost 60 thousand, then just say 60 thousand! Could you count?

Wen Zaifou sat down on the clean chair in the shop. “I’m hungry. Let’s eat!”

Lu Shu suddenly felt that Wen Zaifou was like a small child. Zhang Weiyu said that back then, he had been very strict when teaching the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. Lu Shu felt that Zhang Weiyu and the rest were strict enough when they dealt with the Wen Zaifou, but Zhang Weiyu said that they were incomparable to Wen Zaifou.

Someone who could be very amazing had turned out this way. Was this the result of a loss in morals or a twist of fate?!

At that moment, Wen Zaifou suddenly said to Lu Shu, “Are you worried that I will affect your plan to kill the slave owners? Or do you suspect that I am the person controlling these slave owners?”

Lu Shu was shocked. He turned to look at Wen Zaifou. He was taken by surprise. Wen Zaifou had revealed his worries.

He could not directly ask Wen Zaifou whether he was the mastermind controlling the slave owners. He was worried that he would commit a ma.s.sacre after the truth was exposed.

Lu Shu had great confidence in his training, but he did not have the confidence to face a master alone.

Before Lu Shu could reply, Wen Zaifou said, “You don’t have to worry. I don’t have the free time to nurture so many underlings. I will simply kill people. I will not make any plans behind the scenes.”

“Then who sent them?” Lu Shu asked in a low voice. “There are few people in the Luniverse who are capable of this, right?”

“Yes. Who is able to treat Duanmu Huangqi like an idiot?” Wen Zaifou said, “I have thought about this for 18 years. 18 years ago, I discovered some fishy areas. After I cut off the outside world, I went to various places to find out the truth, but I could not find anything. There were no answers in the Sword Hut. There were no answers in the palace of the King of G.o.ds. The Puppet Masters were in the land of forefathers. It was as if someone was hiding in the shadows and laughing silently at me. I still don’t know how to find them. They are far too prepared.”

Lu Shu was shocked. Wen Zaifou was also looking for this person, but he had not found anything.

What kind of person was the enemy?

Wen Zaifou sighed. “It would be great if that bout of trouble didn’t happen. The slave owners killed everyone they saw, right? I have captured a few over the years. Don’t waste your energy. No matter how much you interrogate them, it is hard to obtain useful information. They don’t know who they are listening to.”

“How do I know that you are telling the truth?” Lu Shu calmly asked.

There were too many people in this world whose hearts were hard to read. They might seem pleasant on the surface, but no one knew how they were on the inside.

Lu Shu felt that Wen Zaifou was a decent person. He did not feel that Wen Zaifou was evil. But what use was this? What if he was acting?

Wen Zaifou smirked. “You should trust me!”

Lu Shu did not know how to reply. They had been discussing important issues. Why did you suddenly say that?

“Let me tell you.” Wen Zaifou looked at Sakurai Yaeko, who was ordering at the counter. He said to Lu Shu, “Treasure this young lady. I think that she is… quite good! Don’t let her cry because of her sadness behind your back. Her tears are the water in her brain. If it dries up, it will be hard to deal with her in the future.”

Lu Shu was puzzled. What, had he given up on being a Lord of Heaven? Did you want to become a matchmaker?

Sakurai Yaeko brought the seafood over. “What are you talking about?”

“Nothing.” Wen Zaifou smiled. “Miss Sakurai Yaeko, could you give me another 100 thousand yen? I still have other things that I want to buy.”

Lu Shu was annoyed. “We still have a long way to go. Save some money. What if you spend all the money in one go?”

Wen Zaifou thought about it. It made sense. Thus, he asked Sakurai Yaeko for 300 thousand yen…

Of course, Sakurai Yaeko would not reject him. She hoped that Wen Zaifou would shop for a longer time.

Wen Zaifou smiled and said, “I will not spend your money for nothing. I will give you something. What weapon are you using?”

Sakurai Yaeko took out the dagger in her sleeve. Wen Zaifou shook his head. “This dagger does not suit you.”

Wen Zaifou took out a small purple dagger. There were many flower patterns on the blade. Sakurai Yaeko took the blade and observed it. “Is there a woman engraved on the blade?”

“That is not a woman. It is a demon that had caused many disasters. After I captured it, I tempered it into the blade,” said Wen Zaifou.

But Wen Zaifou did not say what abilities the demon had. Lu Shu felt that it was not weak. If not, Wen Zaifou would not have offered the dagger. Suddenly, Lu Shu was puzzled. Why had Wen Zaifou given Sakurai Yaeko such a valuable item to protect herself in exchange for a few hundred thousand yen?
