Chapter 155: Crazy Women, A Pair Of Hyena's
Chi Wu pointed toward the pie she wanted on a menu, letting a waitress go and retrieve it as she responded, "I come from a far-off land, and at a very young age, I found myself at the Triade\'s doorsteps. Since that moment in time, I have been living in A-Block…"
"A-Block… That must mean you\'re quite proficient in the art of Potion Concocting…" Azmodeus muttered while looking at the beautiful woman with a curious gleam in his eyes.
"...Yes, you could say that… But from the looks of it, you are quite proficient in it yourself," Chi Wu replied while observing the faint residue of numerous potion substances on his body.
"Ahh… I am nothing special. In fact, I just learned what a Potion Master was sometime last night."
"???"
The Crimson Witches expression became a little puzzled as she softly murmured, "How could that be… My senses are never wrong…"
She didn\'t even consider the option where he had truly achieved such a level of potion fragrance while having just started concocting the night prior.
And after a second of brooding over the matter with her head down, she asked, "What Rank are you…?"
"Rank in what?"
"...Potion Mastery…"
"Uhmm… I\'m only of the Early-Copper Rank," Azmodeus responded with a slightly wry chuckle.
"The Early-Copper Rank… That doesn\'t make any sense… The fragrance… Not proficiency… But Talent…?"
The voluptuous witch mumbled to herself while looking at the nonchalant man in a completely different light.
"Your talent… To have it at such a high level… Just who are you?" She inquired with clear astonishment in her voice.
"Me…?"
That question got Azmodeus thinking, as he didn\'t know who he was…
Was he Azmodeus the cultivator? Someone who sat in his cave abode and cultivated while letting his clones do all the killing for him?
Or was he the Crimson Devil Lord? A man who\'s renown and infamy spread far and wide due to all the murder sprees he\'s gone on…
Maybe I\'m both… And maybe I\'m neither of them…
He eventually stopped pondering the matter as he looked into the deep, serene eyes of Chi Wu and said, "I am Azmodeus, Azmodeus the Crimson Devil Lord."
"The Crimson Devil Lord… One bathed in blood, on a path of no return… Similar to me…"
Chi Wu mumbled the last part in an inaudible tone before the sound of a plate hitting the counter snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Your Strawberry Pie!" A waitress exclaimed with a cordial smile.
"...Thank you…" Chi Wu murmured with a hint of avarice in her voice as she stared down the pie like it was going to run away from her.
"You\'re so very welcome! Make sure to tell me if you need anything else!" The waitress lightly giggled at the look on the blonde witch\'s face as she backed away from the sore thumbs of the shop.
However, before her figure fully left the scene, she made sure to take a few more furtive glances in the direction of the aloof, godlike man who had been sitting at that window seal for the past half an hour.
Azmodeus noticed the keen interest of not only that waitress but every person in the shop, as they likely assumed he was some sort of powerful monarch of the Azura Kingdom. But he wasn\'t one to pay any mind to the attention he garnered due to his appearance and overall solemn aura.
"You\'re quite the popular one, aren\'t you??" Pan Nu asked while stuffing her face with one of everything she ordered from the menu.
Even though she was making a quip, she didn\'t appear to be in the same dimension as the rest of them, as there was just her and sweets in the world she lived in.
"..."
Azmodeus stared at the silly twin-tailed girl before moving his focus back toward the equally voracious blue-eyed witch.
Are all women the same…? Or do I only know the unusual ones…
He didn\'t really notice it much previously (due to all the loose screws inside his head), but it genuinely seemed like not a single girl he\'s met so far could be termed \'normal\' or \'sane\'.
Nao Long is mischievous, outgoing, and a yandere, while Yang Hua is…
Well Yang Hua is Yang Hua, also a yandere…
And then there are You Mei and Li Na, one that\'s cheeky and sky, while the other is more refined and reserved (except when it comes to being naughty…) both of whom are also insane yandere\'s…
Of course, there\'s also Bing Nu Shen and my disciple, Rou Tian, one that is basically a mixture of all her disciples but with a more mature, Milf-like aura. While the latter is so focused on cultivation that I fear she will one day go mute…
There\'s also that alien cat who gave me Elusive Ascension, but she has not woken up once in the last century, so whether or not she\'s sane is still up for debate…
All in all, every single girl that Azmodeus met in all the years he\'s been alive has turned out to be crazy. Whether that was determined right from the get-go or after spending prolonged periods of time with him, it was unavoidable.
Maybe I\'m just a crazy magnet…
But that probably means that I\'m just as insane, if not worse, than all of the residents of my Cave Abode.
He recalled all the lives that he\'s taken, likely numbering in the Septillions, as he realized that he might\'ve been worse off in the sanity department than every woman combined…-
"Are you going to eat that?" Both Chi Wu and Pan Nu questioned in unison while staring at Azmodeus\'s plate like a pair of starving wolves.
"..."
Azmodeus looked at the maniacal expressions on their faces as he slid the plate away from his chest, allowing the two hyenas to dig in.
While they did that, he watched all the passersby walking outside the store\'s windows, thinking about all the power he gained with every passing second...
