Chapter 368: Demoness Asks About Xiao Li
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Hao fell silent.
...
Even if Hong Yuye hadnât appeared, he thought that he might have been able to rely on his cultivation and life force to save himself. However, he didnât know if he would have come out of that unscathed.
He couldnât 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 didnât say anything either.
She just motioned for him to pour her tea.
âDid you attend the gathering?â Hong Yuye lifted the teacup. Jiang Hao noticed another teacup and poured himself a cup as well.
âYes.â He took a sip of the tea.
Although he didnât 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. âTell me what happened.â
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.
âSenior, can you seal it?â
Even if he were to send the pearl back to the ruins, there wouldnât 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 wouldnât 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. âThat thing is bad luck.â
Jiang Hao was helpless.
After a moment, Hong Yuye said, âThat 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 isnât 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.â
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.
âIf the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl really erupts, how will sects like the Clear Sky School and the Bright Moon Sect respond?â Jiang Hao asked.
âThey 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,â said Hong Yuye while sipping tea. âWill it work?â Jiang Hao asked.
Hong Yuye didnât answer.
âHow old are you this year?â Hong Yuye suddenly asked.
âTwentv-seven.â
He was almost thirty. It made him feel as though he was entering middle age.
âWhatâs your cultivation realm?â Hong Yuye asked.
âPeak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.â
Hong Yuye glanced at Jiang Hao. Her smile looked sinister. âWhen I was your age, I wasnât full of lies like you.â Jiang Hao put down his teacup.
âHowâs my flower doing?â Hong Yuye asked.
âItâs growing well. â
âAre you taking care of it well?â
âSenior, itâs your flower. I wouldnât dare to neglect it.â
âDo you remember why I had you infiltrate the Stone Tablet Gathering?
âYes. I donât forget about it even for a moment.â
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 wouldnât be caught off guard when asked about it again.
Hong Yuye chucked, but she didnât ask him anything further.
She quietly sipped tea for a while before looking at Jiang Hao. âI remember you have a junior sister who is a dragon.â
âYes. Itâs Junior Sister Xiao Li,â Jiang Hao said.
He didnât understand why Hong Yuye suddenly brought up Xiao Li.
âYou think I want to harm her?â Hong Yuye asked.
âI wouldnât dare to think so.â Jiang Hao stood up. âSenior, you are unparalleled in the world. You are both wise and resourceful and possess great virtue. Naturally, you wouldnât stoop to the level of a child.â
Hong Yuye smirked. âGo on.â
Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment. He felt embarrassed.
He composed himself. âSenior, 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.â
âThatâs all?â Hong Yuye asked with a smile that seemed to hold a deeper meaning.
Jiang Hao was speechless. He couldnât think of more things to say.
Hong Yuye sneered. âIs that how you see me?â
Jiang Hao lowered his head.
Hong Yuye didnât press him further and changed the topic. âWhatâs your relationship with junior Sister Xiao Li?â
âRelationship?â
Jiang Hao thought for a moment. âJunior Sister Xiao Liâs 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.â
Hong Yuye didnât ask him anything more.
Jiang Hao couldnât 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 Liâs old, adopted parents had passed away.
But why would she suddenly be interested in her now?
âWhat about the stone tablet?â 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 Haoâs 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.
âRemember, you owe me two things. Sooner or later, youâll have to pay the price. If you donât want to pay a heavy price, better take good care of my flower. â
Hong Yuyeâs voice echoed in Jiang Haoâs ears as she disappeared.
Jiang Hao fell to the ground. He didnât 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 didnât 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..
