Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 100

Chapter 100: The Female Demon Strikes

Early morning. A gentle breeze.

Hong Yuye’s hair tips swayed gently, and she looked up at the balcony without moving.

Jiang Hao, looking down at her, seemed to behold a beautiful scene from the human world.

His calm heart couldn’t help but become restless.

For a moment, he wanted to exclaim at the beauty of the woman before him.

But he quickly recovered, feeling somewhat disappointed.

His half-year of mental training did not seem to be effective at this moment.

He still couldn’t maintain his usual calm.

Then, Hong Yuye slowly spoke:

“Have you forgotten who I am by looking at me like that?”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao leaped down to the courtyard, respectfully saying,

“I wouldn’t dare. I was just too surprised to see senior arrive, and I didn’t greet you properly. I hope senior forgives me.”

From the front, Hong Yuye in her red dress, with a belt cinched at her waist and her fairy skirt touching the ground, along with her cold gaze, seemed unapproachable.

This woman is both powerful and beautiful, with a mysterious background and strange magical techniques.

No wonder they need the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower to lure her in.

“What have you been doing for the past half year?”

Hong Yuye asked casually, withdrawing her gaze.

At this moment, she stood beside the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, with the rabbit already tossed onto the peach tree, still swollen and bruised, its fate unknown.

“I’ve been helping senior take care of the flowers,” Jiang Hao quickly replied.

“Is that so?”

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

However, she found the conversation tolerable and didn’t intend to probe further.

Instead, she lowered her gaze to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and said,

“This flower is well-cared for, and I really like its moderate fragrance.”

While this should have been taken as a compliment, Jiang Hao felt worried, fearing that the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower might be taken away prematurely.

That would spell doom for him.

“If senior likes it, that’s great,” he said, forcing a smile.

Seeing Jiang Hao’s nervous demeanor, Hong Yuye walked towards the peach tree with satisfaction.

The peach tree was now taller than her, but there were no signs of it flowering or bearing fruit yet.

“It should be able to flower and bear fruit this year,” Jiang Hao explained.

After looking at the peach tree for a long time, Hong Yuye finally asked,

“Will the fruit be sour or sweet?”

Remembering the content of the last assessment, Jiang Hao cautiously replied, “It should be sweet.”

Hearing this, Hong Yuye turned to look at Jiang Hao and said softly.

“If it’s sour, I’ll take it as you deceiving me right now.”

Jiang Hao felt that every time there was trouble, it was either because he had done too much or said too much.

However, seeing the rabbit hanging on the tree was quite an eyesore.

He then took it down and tossed it aside.

Hong Yuye sat on a wooden chair and asked Jiang Hao to make tea.

During this time, she took out a drawing and said,

“Upgrade the surrounding formations to prevent environmental changes from affecting the growth of the flowers.”

“I’ve just saved up enough spirit stones to upgrade,” Jiang Hao said insincerely as he served the tea.

He had never thought about upgrading because the drawings and materials were too expensive.

“You have neither powerful magical treasures nor outstanding techniques, so where have all your spirit stones gone?” Hong Yuye asked while sipping her tea.

This question left Jiang Hao stunned. He didn’t know where he had spent his spirit stones, as they were always running out.

Without a response from Jiang Hao, Hong Yuye quietly continued drinking her tea.

From time to time, Jiang Hao glanced at the woman beside him, feeling that she would frown slightly while drinking her tea.

He wasn’t sure if she was pondering a difficult problem or if she found the tea distasteful.

The tea was too expensive, so Jiang Hao had never tried it himself.

After a while, Hong Yuye suddenly said.

“I’m planning to visit the secular towns in a while. I’ll come to find you then, and you’ll accompany me.”

“Ah?”

Hearing that he would have to leave Tianyin Sect, Jiang Hao was shocked, “Senior, I…”

“What?”

Suddenly, a tremendous force surged like a tidal wave, and Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao calmly.

“Are you busy?”

Feeling the terrifying aura, Jiang Hao felt as if his body was disintegrating and quickly said,

“It would be an honor for this junior to accompany senior.”

“Full of lies,” Hong Yuye said indifferently, standing up and walking towards the house.

Relieved, Jiang Hao could only follow, thinking she would stay in the hall.

But to his surprise, she went straight upstairs.

Was this her second time upstairs?

The first was at the beginning.

“Your little building seems much sturdier,” Hong Yuye commented as they went upstairs.

“It’s been repaired once,” Jiang Hao replied somewhat awkwardly.

Because the wooden house had been assessed once before and the results were somewhat unexpected, he specifically learned a bit about it, then he made repairs.

After another assessment, it was deemed not easily collapsible.

Shortly after, Hong Yuye made her way to the second floor, passed through the bedroom, and came to the balcony.

She stood there, looking down at the courtyard in silence.

After a moment, she stepped back twice, allowing Jiang Hao to stand in front of her, facing her.

“Like this?”

Jiang Hao asked as he stood on the balcony facing Hong Yuye.

Although puzzled, he complied.

The two looked at each other, and Hong Yuye nodded slightly.

Then she extended her left hand and gently pressed it against Jiang Hao’s chest.

This sudden action startled Jiang Hao, but before he could think further, he felt a strong push.

Immediately, he fell backward, and in the blink of an eye, he flew off the balcony and began to fall, watching in disbelief as Hong Yuye pushed him off.

This inexplicable feeling made him feel quite strange.

Because the distance wasn’t great, he landed on the ground with a thud.

It was somewhat painful…

As a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, falling from the second floor naturally wouldn’t actually harm him, but he didn’t understand why the woman did this.

When he stood up and looked up, he was suddenly stunned.

The breeze blew, the woman’s long hair on the balcony swayed significantly, and her skirt fluttered a few times.

The loose hair by her ears also swayed near her mouth.

She stood at the edge of the balcony, one hand resting on the wooden railing, her features exuding tranquility as she seemed to casually look down.

Their eyes met.

The restlessness in Jiang Hao’s heart instantly calmed down.

Looking up from below offered a completely different view.

After a short while, Jiang Hao wondered to himself, could this woman be reminding me that she’s the only one who can look down on me?

“Remember, when I decide to go to town, you’d better be able to go out as well. Otherwise, you know the consequences.”

With those words, Hong Yuye disappeared from the balcony.

As soon as Hong Yuye left, the courtyard was filled with the wailing of a rabbit.

“It hurts, it hurts so much, ah ah ah~”

The rabbit cried out, clutching its face.

Jiang Hao didn’t understand why the woman felt the need to beat the rabbit every time she visited.

Probably because it got too close to her flowers.

“I don’t know why she wants to take me to town, but this matter is troublesome.”

Jiang Hao pondered for a long time but couldn’t come up with a good reason to go out.

Moreover, his name was still listed in the Hall of Enforcement; he needed to consult with Liu Xingchen if he wanted to leave.

With Hong Yuye around, there probably wouldn’t be any danger, but he was worried about the possibility of her presence being discovered.

That wouldn’t be much different from treason.

Sighing, Jiang Hao put away the formation diagrams and planned to head to the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

However, just as he stepped out of the courtyard, a talisman flew towards him.

It was a communication talisman.

“From my master?”

After checking it, his brow furrowed.

The message was simple.

Xuanyuan Tai wanted to see him and asked him to come over today.

But why would someone of that stature want to see him?
