Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1071: Striving for Radiance Among All Beings (3)

Jiang Hao shook his head with a bitter smile.

He had worked hard for so many years, but he was still just an ordinary cultivator.

Hong Yuye pointed at the chair across from her.

Jiang Hao got up with difficulty and walked toward it.

Finally, he made it to the table.

However, just as he sat down, he lost his balance and almost fell down.

Fortunately, he grabbed the armrest on the chair. He could not stay on his feet.

“Senior, what kind of tea do you want?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye looked at him but did not say anything.

He chose September Spring. He still had a bit of that left.

Hong Yuye drank the tea. “Do you have anywhere you want to go?”

Jiang Hao thought for a moment. He wanted to go and visit his childhood place, but it might have already been demolished.

There was no point in going back.

Where else could he go?

There was nowhere else to go.

Maybe the Lawless Tower? He could go and try to find a solution there.

“Senior, do you think there will be any effect if I go to the Lawless Tower?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Only one way to find out,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao chuckled.

It was useless. If it was really useful, she would have already told him to go there.

There was no need to go through so much trouble.

Do you have any other place in mind besides the Lawless Tower?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao was in a daze. In the end, he shook his head.

“You just need to ask for help. Many people will turn up,” said Hong Yuye.

“Senior, you must be joking. Who would believe a Golden Core cultivator?” Jiang Hao said. “Even if they did believe me, I don’t think anyone can spread the news to the immortal sects. Besides, there isn’t enough time.”

There was another reason. When he died, the pearls would explode, and it would be disastrous.

Hong Yuye would definitely find someone to suppress the pearls.

However, she did not offer to take him to the immortal sects.

That meant there was no solution in the immortal sects.

If Hong Yuye did not have a solution for this, what was the point of contacting anyone?

“How old are you?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Forty-three,” Jiang Hao said.

“Not young anymore…” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao nodded.

He was not young anymore.

He was in his forties. He never thought about it before.

Hong Yuye tapped his forehead with her hand and went upstairs.

That surprised Jiang Hao.

She did not return.

What surprised Jiang Hao even more was that she did not disappear like she usually did.

From early August to early September, she always tapped on his forehead for some reason. After that, she did it once every two days till mid-September.

Jiang Hao appraised himself.

He realized that there were only fifteen days left.

If he did nothing, he would die in eight days.

He felt weak and exhausted. He felt like he would collapse at any moment.

When he opened his eyes, everything he saw was blurry.

He could no longer use the Universe in a Palm Technique to seal the pearls.

He was reaching his limit.

Even if Hong Yuye helped him stall for time, he would not last long.

In the next month, Hong Yuye appeared once every three days.

Around early October, Jiang Hao appraised himself. There were only five days left.

Even if Hong Yuye helped him, he would have eight days at most.

“Am I going to die?”

At that moment, Xiao Li woke up from a nightmare.

Tears streamed down her face.

That confused her. “Why am I crying?” she mumbled. “Something must have happened to Senior Brother Jiang! I have to find him!”
