Chapter 105 : Rescuing Liu Wenyuan (2)
For as long as they lived, human beings sought to escape their humanity.
The righteous ones cultivated to the peak, hoping to ascend one day. Those who did not make it collected enough karma to be reborn into a higher realm.
The rotten ones chose the condemned path, mixing with the demons and obtaining a similarly eternal life, however cursed the existence might be.
Life was short and most people desired instant gratification. Besides, the Demonic Realm was a lot more accessible than the Heavenly Realm.
At night, the only place in Yi Village that was still bright with life was a bar at the center of the village.
Here, men of all kinds and origins gathered to exchange interesting information that was useless to some but useful to the rest.
As the sky grew darker and the number of stars that popped up in the sky increased, the customers started to disperse. Some went upstairs to spend the night in the few vacant rooms in the inn, some went home after a day’s hard work.
Close to midnight, there were only five people left in the bar.
The barkeeper eyed his four customers with a frown. There was a disheveled-looking man who was slumped against the counter, badly drunk.
There were three good friends at a table, regular customers who gathered every week to catch up about their lives.
At another table, there was a handsome young man who looked rather bored. He drank a lot tonight, but he did not look drunk at all.
