Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 613: Smiling San Sheng is Actually a Woman

Ran Hui and his wife were also working hard for their future.

Jiang Hao didn’t know their decision because he wasn’t sure what mattered to Ran Hui more: a future with her or her charm physique.

Even if she was disfigured, her gift still exuded unparalleled allure.

Ordinary people couldn’t resist it.

Could Ran Hui resist it, or was he captivated by the allure?

Ordinary people didn’t possess strong mental fortitude to remain unaffected by the charm.

So, it was unclear whether Ran Hui only loved his wife because of the influence of the charm or if he really loved her.

If it was the former, that was to be expected. Many went crazy over someone with a charm physique. If it was the latter, it was an extremely rare case. He left the choice to them.

“Senior, what do you think they will choose?” Jiang Hao asked curiously on the way.

Perhaps Hong Yuye could understand something he did not.

“Who can say for sure when it comes to the affairs of the heart?” said Hong Yuye as she walked ahead. “Didn’t you mention someone who loved someone with a charm physique before?

“Shang An?” Jiang Hao said.

“Right. Did he love the person or her charm?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He was unwilling to admit it. “I think he liked her irrespective of the charm.”

He still remembered that the Charm Goddess had instructed Shang An to attack him, but Shang An had refused.

It meant Shang An was unaffected by her charm, and he truly saw her for herself.

He had his own values, morals, and worldview.

“Hm… Why can’t it be possible that this person is the same? Maybe his decision is his own,” said Hong Yuye.

Jiang Hao remained silent for a moment. Was it because the other person wasn’t special enough? Or was Shang An too unique?

He couldn’t find an answer.

From what he knew, it seemed that Ran Hui’s mind hadn’t been influenced. There were occasional passersby on the road. Unlike other islands, this island had ordinary people. There were quite a few of them.

Jiang Hao looked at them but didn’t think much about them.

“When I left just now, they had no answer. I don’t know if they are afraid of dying or something else,” Jiang Hao said softly.

“How confident are you?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Seventy percent. But even if I was ninety-nine percent sure, I would still say the same thing. No one knows what might happen at the last minute,” said Jiang Hao truthfully.

He helped them out of kindness. It was a small effort.

After all, he used the identity of Smiling San Sheng. He had nothing to lose.

“Do you hope for a good ending for them, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye just glanced at him but didn’t answer.

The two hurried toward the center of the island. They wanted to ask about the location of the Seven-Day Village.

Tian Chen’s child was there, and finding him meant finding Tian Chen himself.

Then, they would know whether the stone tablet came from him.

“Senior, please wait,” said a voice suddenly.

Jiang Hao looked over and saw a young cultivator.

He had a good cultivation base and was at the early stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

He looked about twenty-eight or twenty-nine, but his actual age was unclear.

He might not be that young.

“Young friend, you called me?” Jiang Hao asked. He imitated Dan Yuan.

However, Hong Yuye seemed to give him a peculiar look.

“Is this the first time you have come to Chaos Stone Island, Senior?” The young cultivator was dressed somewhat messily and tidied up as he came over.

“I’m Jing Fengyun. Greetings to both of you, Seniors.”

“How did you know it’s our first time here?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Because those who come to Chaos Stone Island are here for trade or have their own purposes. And they head to the center of the island. However, the location there is first-come, first-served. The better trades will be taken by the earliest arrivals. Seniors, you arrived late. It implied that it was your first time here.”

Jiang Hao nodded and was about to say something, but the young man continued.

“By the way, I just heard that Smiling San Sheng is here this time. The rumors aren’t good, and the best trades this time might be taken by him. But I think he’s an impostor.”

Jiang Hao was surprised. “Why do you say that?”

“I’ve seen Smiling San Sheng,” Jing Fengyun said confidently. “She is actually a woman. I saw it with my own eyes.”

Jiang Hao found it amusing. “Are you familiar with her?”

“I can definitely talk to her. You can rest assured, Senior. So, should I lead the way for you?” Jing Fengyun asked.

“Your cultivation isn’t bad. Do you lack spirit stones?” Jiang Hao was curious.

There was no law against having a guide, but it seemed strange to him.

This wasn’t an immortal sect, after all. Nobody was required to give a tour.

“I want to ask you a question relating to my cultivation realm. I find it difficult to advance. I don’t know where the problem lies,” Jing Fengyun said respectfully.

Jiang Hao intended to use his appraisal on this person, but Hong Yuye was present, so he was hesitant to do it.

Hong Yuye was unaware of the function of this ability. He didn’t want to expose himself.

“Well, it depends on how much effort you put in while showing us the way,” Jiang Hao said.

“I will do my best to guide you wherever you want to go, ” Jing Fengyun said earnestly. Then, he asked for Jiang Hao’s name.

“You mentioned someone impersonating Smiling San Sheng, right? Just assume I’m one of them. Call me San Sheng,” said Jiang Hao.

Jing Fengyun didn’t know what to think of this person, but he agreed.

“So, Senior San Sheng, what do you intend to learn about first?” Jing Fengyun asked.

“There seem to be quite a few ordinary people here, ” Jiang Hao said.

Although he wasn’t concerned, he wanted to ask about it.

Would The End of All Things allow these ordinary people to live here?

Logically, they wouldn’t.

“They need some tasks to be done, so ordinary people are allowed to live here,” said Jing Fengyun. “The people gathered here join The End of All Things because of their hatred and helplessness. That’s not all. After joining, they earn spirit stones. Once life is easier, they change. Once they change, they strive for something better. However, these people can never become the higher-ups ot The End of All Things. It is said that those who can rise to the top not only have exceptional talent but also steadfast willpower.”

Jiang Hao understood that people changed. “Are there many villages in Chaos

Stone Island?”

“There aren’t any villages here. This isn’t a place for ordinary people to live comfortably. Naturally, there are no villages here,” Jing Fengyun said.

“No villages?” Jiang Hao looked at the young man and whispered, “Have you heard of the Seven-Day Village?”

“The Seven-Day Village?” Jing Fengyun was surprised. “I’ve heard of it or, to be precise, I’ve heard of it several times, but I don’t know the specific location of the village. It’s said that only members of The End of All Things can Enter that village. That village is… strange. According to some, there is nothing valuable in that village. But no one wants to pry..”
