My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 287: Chapter 285: The End, Returning to the Celestial Sea Realm

"My Lord."

"Another lord has arrived," Xu De reported.

This made Su Qing pause. ’Another lord has arrived?’

’It must be another Foundation Establishment Cultivator, right?’

Su Qing nodded. "Where are they? I’ll go greet them."

Five days left.

Then Su Qing could leave.

All he wanted now was to be free.

...

"Junior Sister, look. Look how vast the Demon Suppression Fortress is."

"These are all our Sect’s fortresses. Why don’t we pick one and get some experience slaying Demons?" a handsome Cultivator said to a Female Cultivator.

Both were Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

One was Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment.

The other, Fifth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

"Senior Brother Lan, let’s just guard the fortress here!"

"Of course, I’ll do whatever Junior Sister Mao asks." Senior Brother Lan was very happy.

This was his first time going out with his junior sister.

They were both True Disciples of the Treasure Sect, and it was common knowledge throughout the entire sect that Senior Brother Lan admired this junior sister.

However, the Female Cultivator didn’t seem to like him very much.

But it wasn’t that she disliked him, either.

The two Cultivators were patient, wandering through the fortress, stopping here and there.

Meanwhile, Su Qing followed Xu De to find them.

But he couldn’t see anyone.

"Xu De, where are they?" Su Qing asked.

They had already walked a long way.

The area ahead was no longer part of the section Su Qing was assigned to guard.

He didn’t want to go any further.

"Lord Ye, I just received word. Those two lords went to the fortress over there."

"Please punish me, My Lord." Xu De became frightened, but he really hadn’t been lying. He had notified Su Qing the moment he received the news.

Su Qing was rather annoyed.

"Forget it. In the future, unless they’re here specifically to see me, just ignore them."

With only five days left, Su Qing couldn’t be bothered.

"Yes, My Lord."

...

「Nightfall.」

Su Qing was sitting inside his stone house.

He suddenly sensed two auras of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

They were coming from right outside his window.

"Fellow Daoists, what is the matter?" Su Qing asked, seeing the man and woman who had suddenly appeared.

He looked at the man with suspicion.

Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment.

’If this conversation goes south, I’ll probably have to fight again.’

"I am Lan Ping, a True Disciple of the Treasure Sect. I’ve brought my junior sister here to slay Demons."

"Any idea when those Demons will show up?" Lan Ping asked.

He saw the woman sleeping on the bed to the side. Noticing the scales on her face, he thought, ’Another Desire Demon.’

"It’s not clear. We just eliminated a group of Demon Fiends recently, so it’s unlikely any will appear this week."

"Of course, there could always be an exception. I don’t know much about the Demon Race’s affairs," Su Qing explained.

"Another Desire Demon! All these Loose Cultivators have had their minds clouded by Desire Demons!"

"The road was full of them, and there’s another one here!" the junior sister beside him pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction.

In truth, she was a little jealous. Whether it was their figures or their faces, every Desire Demon was unique, yet incredibly beautiful.

It was said they never aged, even up to their death.

It would be strange if other women weren’t jealous.

"Junior Sister, how could a Desire Demon possibly compare to even a fraction of you? Let’s go. It feels a bit awkward in someone else’s house."

"Mm, Senior Brother, why don’t we go take a look on the Demon Race’s side?"

"That way, we can see what Demon Fiends are really like sooner!"

"Of course! Whatever you say, Junior Sister!" Lan Ping’s eyes were filled with deep affection.

The corner of Su Qing’s mouth twitched. He was speechless.

Watching the two leave, he figured they must be the two "lords" Xu De had mentioned earlier.

’But the guy is a bit of an idiot.’

’Kind of a simp.’

’And now they’re going to the Demon Race’s territory to get themselves killed.’

’It’s not like here, where someone is stationed to keep order. The Demon Race’s side is certain to have even stronger experts garrisoned there.’

’Just to stir up trouble.’

’Or to send these Magic Beasts to their deaths.’

As the two of them left, Su Qing glanced at their luck.

As they headed in that direction, their originally blue luck instantly darkened considerably.

"A pair of lovebirds off to their shared grave, keeping each other company on the road to hell," Su Qing chuckled.

’People who court death.’

’Why should I care?’

Then, Su Qing spoke to the Desire Demon on the bed, "Go to sleep. What are you eavesdropping for? Do you understand now what it means for strength to be paramount?"

"That girl just now was clearly unhappy. If I hadn’t been here, you’d probably have a few new holes in you."

Yi Nan had been awake for a while. She’d been eavesdropping ever since the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators arrived.

But after hearing what Su Qing said...

She chose to obediently go back to sleep.

Otherwise, she’d be forced to read again.

...

「A few days later.」

There were no major disturbances at the fortress.

Tomorrow, Su Qing would be free.

"Yi Nan, time for a quiz."

"’To pluck the cliffs and overturn the seas; as dusk falls, the swallows return, knowing their home.’ What does this mean, and what was the author’s occupation?"

"It means the person who wrote the poem was very strong, able to move mountains and overturn seas, and he also missed his hometown. The author was a Cultivator!" Yi Nan hadn’t memorized it, so she could only make things up.

Su Qing shook his head. "The author was a Cultivator, that’s correct. But he didn’t have that kind of power; it was just a fantasy. The part about missing his hometown, however, is true."

"Alright, next..."

Su Qing asked many more questions.

Poetry was a huge problem for Yi Nan.

But when it came to collections of stories...

Her memory was excellent, and she read everything.

In the end.

Yi Nan looked at Su Qing with her captivating, expectant eyes.

Su Qing sighed, took out the stone, and tossed it to her.

"You can go."

It was just a small fragment.

Su Qing’s Immortal Technique could also achieve the same effect.

It would just be a bit more troublesome. Besides, Su Qing had no idea what to do with the fragment. He wasn’t Cultivating Demon techniques.

And no one he cared about was Cultivating Demon techniques either.

The only exception was that Junior Sister Luo, whom he didn’t know well.

Su Qing felt she wouldn’t need this thing from him either.

Her Cultivation Technique seemed quite formidable.

Su Qing still remembered when Luo Lanxin had her breakthrough.

Her Cultivation Technique was definitely extraordinary.

"Thank you, My Lord! Thank you, My Lord!"

Yi Nan hadn’t expected the lord before her to just give her the fragment like that.

The crucial part was, she, a Desire Demon, couldn’t get it even by using her body to tempt him.

Yet after just a few days of reading, she had actually obtained it.

’This lord... he’s just too righteous...’

’Or is it that... he has problems in that department...’

"My Lord, I’ll be going now." Yi Nan felt a deep admiration for him.

She decided in her heart that if she ever became a powerful figure...

She would definitely help her lord find a treasure to restore his... function.

"Go on, go on." Su Qing couldn’t be bothered with her and waved his hand dismissively.

He himself gazed out at the long corridors of the fortress.

It really was a unique experience.

If Su Qing knew the Desire Demon who was just with him thought he was impotent, he’d surely make it so she couldn’t get out of bed.

Yi Nan walked silently through the fortress’s Marketplace, a bitter feeling in her heart.

"I’m all alone again."

She clutched the Pure Demon Jade Fragment tightly in her hand. This was what she wanted.

The past few days had passed by like a dream, and now she was back to reality.

...

...

「The next day.」

The Shopkeeper from the Celestial Sea Realm came to see Su Qing personally.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Ye."

"Fellow Daoist Ye’s Swordsmanship is truly magnificent. I am full of admiration."

Su Qing’s mouth twitched. ’Good grief. This guy definitely knew a Demon from the Demon Race at the same Realm as me had attacked.’

’No wonder he gave me a Tier Two Spirit Fruit.’

’So it was a payment for risking my life.’

If Su Qing hadn’t been extraordinary, he would have been severely injured, if not killed.

"Not at all, not at all. It was just luck," Su Qing said vaguely, being polite.

They both knew the truth, and the Shopkeeper didn’t press the matter.

"Let me see you back to the Celestial Sea Realm, Fellow Daoist."

"Thank you."

Afterward, Su Qing followed him out of the fortress. They took a Teleportation Array and soon arrived back at the Celestial Sea Realm.

Putting everything else aside...

It was so much more comfortable being back in the Celestial Sea Realm.

The oppressive feeling was gone.

They say your environment affects you, and it’s absolutely true.

Back at the fortress, Su Qing could feel how oppressive the atmosphere was.

Many of the Cultivators there chose to indulge themselves. When Demon Fiends came, they would kill them. When there were none, they would find a Desire Demon to relax.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to pursue their Cultivation, but their progress was slow. After a battle...

...they needed to release all the pent-up emotions inside them.
