Free Web NovelChapter 1890: Chapter 1890: Only He Can Save Himself
"Changtian Palace Master, what is it?"
Xiao Yi stopped in his tracks, looking puzzled at Bai Changtian who was chasing after him.
Bai Changtian laughed heartily, raising the wine pot in his hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi’s face changed in shock, and he quickly retreated a few steps.
Changtian Wine Demon’s wine is not something everyone can touch.
Bai Changtian was momentarily taken aback by Xiao Yi’s wary actions, then smiled, "Kid, don’t be afraid, the wine this time has no weirdness."
"Come, have a sip before you go."
Xiao Yi frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said, "No need, thank you for the kindness, Changtian Palace Master."
After speaking, Xiao Yi lifted his foot to leave.
One sip of Changtian Wine Demon’s wine could probably knock him out.
Bai Changtian grabbed Xiao Yi, saying, "Fool, do you really think I would chase you just to prank you?"
Xiao Yi said nothing, but his wary eyes seemed to answer Bai Changtian, yes, indeed.
Bai Changtian pouted, saying irritably, "Haven’t you always felt a bit dizzy, a hint of hangover?"
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi snapped out of it.
With Bai Changtian’s words, Xiao Yi indeed noticed it.
Since he woke up, knowing here was the Black Demon Hall Main Hall, especially after seeing Senior Luoo, his heart had been unbelievably vigilant.
Under such vigilance, forcing himself to be in the best state was an instinct developed by Xiao Yi over the years.
Thus, the hangover feeling, although he had it, went unnoticed.
Or rather, he subconsciously ignored it.
"Kid, have a sip before you go." Bai Changtian laughed heartily.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded.
Taking the wine pot from Bai Changtian, he took a small sip.
As the wine entered, a sensation of spicy heat came instantly.
Evidently, Bai Changtian’s wine was extremely strong, far exceeding ordinary sake.
But once the wine was swallowed and passed through the throat, it instantly turned into a refreshing stream, making one feel infinitely comfortable.
Xiao Yi’s previously lingering hangover and fatigue vanished in an instant.
Once all the wine entered his stomach, it transformed into Hundred Spirit Medicine Liquid, making Xiao Yi feel refreshed throughout his body.
The five scars left by the Poison Fang Claw were visibly healing at a rapid pace.
Along with it, the intense pain that had been present in his body seemed to ease slightly.
"Good wine." Xiao Yi nodded, then took another light sip before returning the wine pot.
Bai Changtian took it but did not retract the wine pot, simply holding it.
Xiao Yi said irritably, "Next time, if the Master of the Main Hall wants to see me, Changtian Palace Master can just say so."
Frankly, Bai Changtian did scare him quite a bit before.
Bai Changtian smiled, saying, "Your previous actions were indeed astonishing, infamous, fiercely wild."
"Naturally, I could only knock you out and abduct you."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi grimaced, "Anyhow, thank you for the sip of wine, Changtian Palace Master."
"No need to thank me, if you’re thanking anyone, thank my master." Bai Changtian said earnestly.
"Countless years ago, when I was young like you, I was far less outstanding."
"I remember, at that time, I was at most a second-class Heavenly Talent, and my Martial Soul wasn’t even purple; it was ordinary, used only for soaking wine, a plant-type Martial Soul."
"Back then, burdened with a blood feud, yet powerless, I lived in decadence, always accompanied by wine."
"Or perhaps fate brought me to meet my master."
"My master avenged my blood feud, slaughtering my enemies."
"Yet I remained in extreme decadence, blaming myself for my limited talent and believing I would achieve nothing in life."
"But then..." Bai Changtian paused and said, "My master spoke to me seriously."
"In this world, there is never a useless Martial Soul, only a useless Martial Artist."
"In this world, there is never a Wasted Martial Soul, only wasted people." freewёbnoνel.com
"At that moment, I had an epiphany; although I never forgot about wine afterwards, it led me to become today’s Changtian Wine Demon."
As he spoke, Bai Changtian proudly said, "Except for those eight old guys and a few Old Monsters, do you believe that I can knock anyone down with just one sip of wine?"
"Believe, of course, I believe." Xiao Yi nodded.
Changtian Wine Demon is truly the most legendary Main Hall Master in history, without comparison.
However, Xiao Yi wasn’t aware that Changtian Wine Demon had these past experiences.
In this world, there is never a Wasted Martial Soul, only wasted people?
"So," Bai Changtian said earnestly, "Kid, although you have this monster-like appearance and this damaged body, the future is still unknown."
Bai Changtian looked seriously at Xiao Yi.
Despite hearing Xiao Yi’s hoarse and harsh voice and seeing Xiao Yi’s face full of terrible and terrifying pustules, he was unfazed, showing a normal expression.
"Here, take it." Bai Changtian handed the wine pot, which he had not retracted, to Xiao Yi.
"What?" Xiao Yi was momentarily stunned.
Bai Changtian smiled, "Poisonous wine, dare to take it?"
"Of course." Xiao Yi nodded, "Though, I won’t take it for now."
Bai Changtian frowned and said, "This wine, I’ve warmed for a minute, thereafter whatever poison-type Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or Healing Elixir you add to it, it will enhance their effects tenfold."
"Take it, you might need it someday."
"No need." Xiao Yi shook his head, "Though I know it’s Changtian Palace Master’s goodwill, there’s ultimately no connection between us, neither friendship nor obligation."
Upon hearing this, Bai Changtian furrowed his brows more tightly, and his gaze toward Xiao Yi showed a hint of disappointment.
"Unexpected, you’re such a common person..."
Bai Changtian hadn’t finished his sentence.
Xiao Yi interrupted, "Today doesn’t count as having a connection."
"In the future, when I visit the Black Demon Hall Main Hall again, I will surely drink with Changtian Palace Master, without returning until we’re drunk."
"Then, I’ll slowly listen to Changtian Palace Master’s past stories."
"The friendship can start then."
Upon hearing this, Bai Changtian’s brows instantly relaxed, and he laughed heartily, "Good."
"Farewell." Xiao Yi smiled, cupped his hands, and turned away.
Soon, his figure disappeared within the Black Demon Hall’s Inner Hall, completely exiting the Black Demon Hall.
...
Bai Changtian chuckled softly, watching Xiao Yi’s departing figure.
Beside him, a silhouette suddenly appeared.
It was Senior Luoo.
"You seem quite idle." Senior Luoo’s voice remained indifferent as always.
"Master, I was just looking for you." Bai Changtian turned to Senior Luoo.
Senior Luoo said nothing.
Bai Changtian said, "Once I’ve asked, I’ll get back to closed-door training immediately."
"Ask away." Senior Luoo finally spoke.
"Master," Bai Changtian said gravely, "Forgive my bluntness, but if I’m not mistaken, that kid’s mangled body is almost beyond repair."
"He might live his life as if a monster."
"Indeed." Senior Luoo nodded.
"Even you can’t help him?" Bai Changtian asked.
"No." Senior Luoo shook his head.
"Really no one can save him?" Bai Changtian asked with a furrow.
"There is." Senior Luoo nodded.
First he said no, then yes.
Senior Luoo’s calm and unhurried tone left Bai Changtian speechless.
Were it not for his inability to defeat Senior Luoo, he might have been tempted to knock him down with a sip of wine.
"Master, what do you mean?" Bai Changtian asked patiently.
Senior Luoo said gravely, "I indeed can’t help him."
"His body is akin to a walking corpse, as if dead."
"I don’t know how he’s survived."
"Additionally, though I don’t know what cultivation technique he’s practicing, it’s turned him into this human-ghost hybrid."
"But from observing his internal state and martial arts trajectory, this cultivation technique is exceedingly defiant."
"Presumably, the backlash from his Poison Dao turned so severe because of it."
"I can’t save him, and nobody else can either," Senior Luoo paused.
"The only one who can save him is himself."
...
Second update.
