Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Jiang Hao fell silent.

Even if Hong Yuye hadn’t appeared, he thought that he might have been able to rely on his cultivation and life force to save himself. However, he didn’t know if he would have come out of that unscathed.

He couldn’t come up with an answer.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the Scarlet Feather Divine Pill had unexpectedly failed him.

It might be because the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl was too strong.

Hong Yuye didn’t say anything either.

She just motioned for him to pour her tea.

“Did you attend the gathering?” Hong Yuye lifted the teacup. Jiang Hao noticed another teacup and poured himself a cup as well.

“Yes.” He took a sip of the tea.

Although he didn’t know what type of tea it was, he suddenly felt like his entire body was being cleansed.

His wounds were recovering rapidly. This tea was extraordinary.

Hong Yuye put down the teacup. “Tell me what happened.”

This gathering was an impromptu one, with nothing particularly noteworthy. The only thing discussed was the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

Jiang Hao took out the pearl and handed it over to her.

“Senior, can you seal it?”

Even if he were to send the pearl back to the ruins, there wouldn’t be enough time to make sure it remained inert.

The great luck had already returned to the heavens and earth. Relying solely on the ruins wouldn’t be able to suppress it at all.

Leaving it on his person was too dangerous.

He could use it to threaten others. However, more often than not, the others came seeking it willingly and put him in danger.

The members of The End of All Things were not afraid of death at all.

Most of them were reckless.

They resented the world and were burdened by a past full of despair and misery.

Whether it was Xue Yue or Li Bai, they were all the same. They were all filled with despair.

The past of Dongfang Ji was similar too. He had a tragic life. However, he seemed a little different.

It seemed like his heart was still in the Heavenly Note Sect.

Jiang Hao could sense that keeping the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl on himself had more disadvantages than advantages. Hong Yuye looked at him. “That thing is bad luck.”

Jiang Hao was helpless.

After a moment, Hong Yuye said, “That person used the traces of luck to find the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. Are they able to appear by your side at any time? This isn’t an ordinary method. Neither Mu Qiu nor this person could possibly know this method. Someone from The End of All Things must have taught them.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

When he had appraised Li Bai, the information he got was that the person was a rare Body of Misfortune. Since he entered The End of All Things, he must have been discovered by some formidable individuals.

“If the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl really erupts, how will sects like the Clear Sky School and the Bright Moon Sect respond?” Jiang Hao asked.

“They will use the Clear Sky Mirror to control the eruption area temporarily. Then, the major immortal sects will gather and use their treasures to suppress it,” said Hong Yuye while sipping tea. “Will it work?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye didn’t answer.

“How old are you this year?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

“Twentv-seven.”

He was almost thirty. It made him feel as though he was entering middle age.

“What’s your cultivation realm?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Hong Yuye glanced at Jiang Hao. Her smile looked sinister. “When I was your age, I wasn’t full of lies like you.” Jiang Hao put down his teacup.

“How’s my flower doing?” Hong Yuye asked.

“It’s growing well. ”

“Are you taking care of it well?”

“Senior, it’s your flower. I wouldn’t dare to neglect it.”

“Do you remember why I had you infiltrate the Stone Tablet Gathering?

“Yes. I don’t forget about it even for a moment.”

He had indeed forgotten for a moment.

He remembered that his purpose was to find the mastermind behind the stone tablets. Then, he needed to find the location of the other stone tablets.

The progress he had made so far was that he had found out more about The End of All Things, but it was unclear who exactly provided the stone tablet to them.

He felt relieved after recalling all of this. He wouldn’t be caught off guard when asked about it again.

Hong Yuye chucked, but she didn’t ask him anything further.

She quietly sipped tea for a while before looking at Jiang Hao. “I remember you have a junior sister who is a dragon.”

“Yes. It’s Junior Sister Xiao Li,” Jiang Hao said.

He didn’t understand why Hong Yuye suddenly brought up Xiao Li.

“You think I want to harm her?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I wouldn’t dare to think so.” Jiang Hao stood up. “Senior, you are unparalleled in the world. You are both wise and resourceful and possess great virtue. Naturally, you wouldn’t stoop to the level of a child.”

Hong Yuye smirked. “Go on.”

Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment. He felt embarrassed.

He composed himself. “Senior, you are as vast as the blue sea. You are unparalleled in the world and stand alone at the top. You are gifted in strategizing. You are far-sighted, perceptive, humble, and breathtakingly beautiful. You have extensive knowledge of everything in the world.”

“That’s all?” Hong Yuye asked with a smile that seemed to hold a deeper meaning.

Jiang Hao was speechless. He couldn’t think of more things to say.

Hong Yuye sneered. “Is that how you see me?”

Jiang Hao lowered his head.

Hong Yuye didn’t press him further and changed the topic. “What’s your relationship with junior Sister Xiao Li?”

‘Relationship?’

Jiang Hao thought for a moment. “Junior Sister Xiao Li’s family entrusted her to me. She looks upon me as her elder brother and has taken my surname. She goes by the name Jiang Xiao Li now.”

Hong Yuye didn’t ask him anything more.

Jiang Hao couldn’t understand why Hong Yuye was suddenly interested in Xiao Li.

Hong Yuye had known about Xiao Li for a long time. She knew that Xiao Li’s old, adopted parents had passed away.

But why would she suddenly be interested in her now?

“What about the stone tablet?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao took out the stone tablet.

After a quick look, Hong Yuye allowed him to put the stone tablet away.

It seemed that she was just checking if everything was normal with it.

After that, she continued to drink her tea.

Jiang Hao also sipped his tea.

When the tea was finished, Hong Yuye instructed him to pour the remaining leaves away. Jiang Hao knew that these tea leaves were special. He thought it was a waste to throw them away. He could give them to the spirit beast.

After that, Hong Yuye reached out and touched Jiang Hao’s chest.

Then, she drew something there. It made Jiang Hao feel slightly uncomfortable.

Immediately after, Hong Yuye struck out with her palm.

Jiang Hao was sent flying.

“Remember, you owe me two things. Sooner or later, you’ll have to pay the price. If you don’t want to pay a heavy price, better take good care of my flower. ”

Hong Yuye’s voice echoed in Jiang Hao’s ears as she disappeared.

Jiang Hao fell to the ground. He didn’t feel any pain.

It was somewhat different from the collision with the vast aura from before.

He touched his chest and found nothing there.

He didn’t understand what Hong Yuye had drawn there. As for that palm strike, he felt like something had left his body.

He was unclear about the details, but it seemed that nothing was wrong with his body anymore..
