Aomi is still wiping the table recalls his demonic joinery start.
Before 350 years Aomi was 150 years old.
He had mastered his spiritual strength and reached rank 5 immortal.
He was a newly ascended mortal and now he had unlocked paths.
Paths are turning points a new rank 5 immortal chooses deciding their strength.
Aomi who had faced hardship and betrayal most of his life choosed demonic path but, he needed to sacrifice alot of lives to reach it.
Aomi at that time had already lost his kindness and only seemed profit in every step.
For 50 more years he continued to refine, slaughtering village after village while in his the road to mount sora hitai and when he reached the peak of Sora hitai, He had destroyed half of Jung Yang.
The 13 sects of Jung Yang all were in bad condition where as Aomi had fully ascended to a rank 5 immortal and became the snow demon renowned across the eastern world.
For 300 more years, he took what he needed to geow and ascended to a rank 4 immortal but, he was stopped at his tracks when he got under attack when he had just now failed a refinement by the 13 sects.
But, he stand here in Goff’s blacksmith hiding.
He had actually stayed under Goff to gain knowledge about the western world.
Also, he was interested because he found out in the heavenly court where the origins of some were never given in the east are here.
Most importantly three people:
Belle grandclair, the vast aurora immortal zūn…
Nero Stolz, the first demonic zūn,Pride sin demonic zūn, famous for his arrogant and egoist persona…
and at last Ruse, the student of Nero,the second demon zūn and also the Maya demonic zūn,who was famous for illusions and was more like a demon who manipulated events from behind.
Aomi glances at the eastern designed armour again.
Not with rage at his weakness but because he thinks what is going on in heavenly court.
His mind drifts to his past Memories, it was 200 years ago.
A man in golden robes had spared him and disappointedly said, ” Your lucky snow demon that fate wants you to be a part of a sacrifice”
This memory heats his head as a squeak escapes suddenly while he wipes the counter.
He comes out of daze after seeing that the counter is now clean as water, shining like glitter and looks managed.
He blinks twice looks around and realises, he over did it while thinking of his past.
He flops back into the counter’s chair.
Goff eyes widen a bit noticing the counter, then walks over and nudges him, ” good job Aomi.”
Aomi gives a thumbs up as he picks a bottle of water.
He drinks while Goff touches the counter and checks then pats his shoulder.
He goes back to the work after saying, ” Today you will handle the counter alright.”
Aomi finishes drinking and nods with his mouth full of water which, he drinks in a gulp.
He thinks about the golden attire man again and sees the sun knowingly, ” Yào Yáng”
His flashback takes him back when he got helped by the same golden attire man who almost ended his life due to some reason of fate that he didn’t knew at that time.
Yáng had said him, ” I’m Yào Yáng the radiant sun immortal zūn. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
Go live your Life, poor demon.
I can’t waste my time toying with small Fries.
Afterall I shouldn’t mess with fate or else, I might become the goat ” Yáng had walked away that day.
But, the fate he prophecied became understandable to Aomi now when he realises his fate was to be dead on the very day he got surrounded by the 13 sects of Jung Yang.
…
“Guess I’m an exception—” Aomi calmly talks to himself but Walter bursts in from the shop’s door, ” Hey!
”
He falls off his chair from surprise as he peeks his head over the counter, Goff comes confused by Walter’s loud entrance , ” what happened?”
Walter points outside, ” T-The royal princess is strolling around with her guards!”
Aomi oblivious rememebers there js a princess of Sunnaland, Maria Sunna.
But, Goff eyes widen, ” Oh.
Aomi!
Close the shop!” he runs into the dorm.
He tilts his head confused as Walter follows him inside.
He takes his apron off and places it on the table as the others just go in too.
He comes out to close the shutter and just does it in time But behind him a woman calls him, ” hey.
”
Aomi tilts his head slightly to look at whoever calling him from the corner of his eye and sees Maria Sunna.
He freezes and Maria steps forward, she is a beautiful young adult with majestic red hair.
” Is the shop closed?”
Aomi just nods.
Maria titls her head crossing her hands as she looks at him because he looks different because he is eastern.
Aomi had a loose man bun and different features than the people in West which she finds interesting.
” who are you?” she asks firmly.
Aomi just looks at the door beside then back at her, ” I’m Aomi.”
Maria blinks at the name because in west there are not such names and politely asks, ” dear sir, where do you originally come from?”
Aomi stares at her for some second before answering an excuse, ” I come from the eastern side of the west.”
Maria blinks surprised but gets interested even more.
She sees her Guards and back at him, ” Want to eat with me?”
Aomi opens the door, “No” then he walks inside.

In the palace Maria is throwing pillows around because she got IGNORED and now is throwing a tantrum alone in her room.
She gets attention where ever she goes but, now when she doesn’t, her pride takes a hit.
after months, Aomi is leading a carts with Goff to a merchant and pass by Walter’s restaurant.
Goff remarks grinning, ” He sure made a fortune.
Clever bastard.”
They continue and reach their destination an army barrack where they had requested them weapons since Goff’s business is growing, he got a contract from the captain of the royal guards.
He stays near the carts and checks out the list while Aomi slouches under a tree thinking of the inured bear he got.
He actually had studied the inured bear powers in the time passed and got to know about it.
When he takes any strikes his strength increase a bit and in a long fight this will increase his inured bear effects to a bigger extend.
He thinks of it alot to make sure of it’s use then sees Goff then his mind drifts to another topic, This idiot helped me back then.
I will make sure to help him back afterall I’m not that heartless.
I can’t be in debt of someone.
It will only bind shackles to me.
When Goff, the other workers in the blacksmith and Walter get the rich and fame they want.
I will to continue my journey.
Then he shifts and lays on the grass as he looks up at the tree leaves, if I don’t have to I won’t but, if I have too then, I will do it as quickly as possible.
He closes his eyes and sigh,
Untill I’m involved in someone else life by them I will give something to them or else it’s not fair.
While he starts falling asleep then Maria crouches down and pokes his temple and he gets up surprised.
she pokes his head , ” hey.
You will come with me.”
Aomi freezes and stares at her confused then asks, ” why?”
Maria lips press into a thin line, ” because I said so.”
Goff sees him and sighs.
” Poor boy” he clasp his hands and prays looking at the sky because he isn’t aware of Maria.Then before Aomi can react, he is dragged by her to the table she is sitting and forces to drink tea with her.
Maria looks at him time by time then, asks ” Aomi right?”
Aomi nods.
She stares at his nod and blushes a bit because no has ever been this calm to her, most answer her nervously or just go away before he initiates anything but, Aomi here is nothing like them and is different not only the way from his face and name but in personality aswell.
Aomi is lost in his thought that he will quickly make Goff and Walter wealthy and just walk away.
It’s not because he has any good intentions or is kind but because he can’t take the fact that he did something unfair to someone.
He had killed many but he did it for power in cost of road he took but, right now a man helped him without a paper and pen so, it gives him an idea from somewhere that he should do something for him out of consideration of his own ideals that a man who helps shouldn’t go away empty handed, who has held his hand when he had nothing.
