Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Spending the Night in the Female Demon’s Room

After checking the backyard, Jiang Hao took out the Tomorrow’s Clear Snow seeds for tomorrow.

Since Hong Yuye was coming here, it was better to plant the spiritual medicine sooner rather than later.

Even if he didn’t know how long he would stay here, it was better to act first.

If it really didn’t work out, he could take the seeds with him.

“Appraisal.”

【Tomorrow’s Clear Snow Seed: Fragrant, has a concentration effect after blooming, can be used to refine Condensing Spirit Pills, water with one bottle of spirit liquid daily, can take root and sprout in three days.】

“Three days?”

“That’s it, no blue bubbles.”

Last time, the black lotus that had blue bubbles needed to be watered with spirit liquid for seven days before it could take root and sprout.

Now with only three days, it’s more likely to have green or white bubbles.

But three days is actually still a bit long; they might not stay here for three days.

Perhaps they would find Zuo Lan tonight, obtain the Secret Whisper Slate, and then have to go elsewhere.

However, the three stone tablets could be combined into one, which would grant higher access.

The integration would probably take some time, so the likelihood of staying here for more than three days is very high.

“If the three stone tablets can be combined and directly locate the positions of the other tablets, that would be convenient.”

But since he had only been out for a few days, he wasn’t in a hurry.

After planting the seeds and watering them with spirit liquid, Jiang Hao went to Hong Yuye’s room door.

At this time, a little girl came to Jiang Hao’s side, a bit nervously said:

“Should I clean the guest’s room?”

“Clean room number five, this one doesn’t need it,” Jiang Hao pointed to the room and said.

The little girl nodded and then went to clean Jiang Hao’s room.

Jiang Hao then knocked on the door and entered Hong Yuye’s room.

He didn’t dare let anyone touch Hong Yuye, not knowing what might happen if she got upset.

He hadn’t left anything in his own room, so he wasn’t worried about anything.

“Any gains?”

Hong Yuye gazed out the window and casually asked a question.

At that moment, she was dressed in a red and white outfit, sitting gracefully at the table, her demeanor calm and unruffled.

From the side, one could see her long hair reaching her waist and her well-proportioned figure, exuding an air of elegance and nobility just from her presence.

Jiang Hao dared not look too long as his heart was easily stirred. The Tianjue Gu poison had no effect on Hong Yuye, so even a slight carelessness in the presence of such a peerless beauty could cause ripples in his heart.

“There is a bit of discovery, but all the Zuo Lans in the market are clones. It seems he knew that the senior was coming. He is currently preparing something, wanting to counterattack,” Jiang Hao hesitated before continuing.

“According to a disciple of the Great Thousand Divine Sect, with Zuo Lan preparing his methods, his strength must have surpassed that of the Golden Core.”

Seeing that Hong Yuye did not speak, Jiang Hao spoke again.

“There might be a fortress by the Heavenly Lake that Zuo Lan has planned. I intend to go there tonight to take a look.”

“What about the Secret Whisper Slate?” Hong Yuye asked softly.

“No news,” Jiang Hao shook his head.

“And the courtyard?” Hong Yuye inquired again.

“It has been tidied up, and the seeds have been planted. If nothing unexpected happens, they should bloom in three days,” Jiang Hao answered each question.

Hearing that the flowers would bloom in three days, Hong Yuye turned her head to look at Jiang Hao, a hint of interest in her eyes.

“What kind of flower did you plant?”

It seemed she had been waiting to ask this question.

Jiang Hao looked down, somewhat embarrassed, “A flower similar to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.”

“What’s its name?” Hong Yuye asked with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“Tomorrow’s Clear Snow,” Jiang Hao replied.

After he finished speaking, he thought Hong Yuye would do or say something.

However, he found that she did not speak but was simply pouring herself some tea.

He couldn’t understand what she was thinking, but it also relieved Jiang Hao.

At least he was still standing there safely and had not been thrown against the wall.

While drinking tea, Hong Yuye took out a small box and placed it on the table.

“I won’t let you work for nothing; this is for you.”

Seeing this, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised; he had thought that she would give him something after the matter was concluded.

Approaching the table, he picked up the box and sat down to examine it.

When he opened the box, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.

It was a snow-white pill that he had never seen before.

Just the scent of the pill alone made his vital energy and spiritual energy become more active.

Was it a pill for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?

Jiang Hao wondered internally.

‘Just now, I said that Zuo Lan might have surpassed the Golden Core, so she gave me such a pill. Is it for me to advance and defeat Zuo Lan?’

It was very likely.

He wondered how much such a precious pill could sell for.

The prerequisite, of course, was to first know the name of the pill.

He looked at Hong Yuye and asked, “What is this pill?”

“Try it and see,” Hong Yuye said nonchalantly, sipping her tea.

At that moment, Jiang Hao took out the pill, feeling a cool sensation.

Without hesitation, he placed it in his mouth.

Instantly, the coolness spread in his mouth as the pill dissolved.

Then, the cool breath traveled down his throat and throughout his body.

He felt as though he was enveloped in coolness, which then surged into his mind.

It seemed to unlock his thoughts, and numerous sparks of thought collided in his mind, like Clear Heart and Pure Mind.

Thinking of this, the divine ability Clear Heart and Pure Mind activated on its own, and the cool breath rushed into it.

The divine ability, which had been continuously damaged, showed signs of reversal.

Soon, the cool breath began to repair the divine ability.

‘So it’s a pill for repairing divine abilities?’

Realizing the function of the pill, Jiang Hao began to absorb it fully, trying to completely restore his divine ability.

Without Clear Heart and Pure Mind, his progress in becoming stronger had slowed down considerably.

He had been unable to comprehend the third form of the Heavenly Saber.

He was very curious, however, about how Hong Yuye knew his divine ability was damaged.

Is her Nameless Secret Manual comprehension so powerful?

With this thought, he was even more determined to comprehend the Nameless Secret Manual. In the future, he could better scrutinize his enemies.

Afterward, he set aside his thoughts and began to heal.

After a long while, Jiang Hao had fully absorbed the pill.

Not only was his divine ability restored, but it had even surpassed its previous state, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.

Once he stabilized his condition, he slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was Hong Yuye sitting opposite him, drinking tea, and then he noticed the sunlight streaming in.

The light fell on her side face, and the breeze moved her hair, making one forget to breathe for a moment.

‘Human beauty is like dust,’ he thought to himself, but he quickly returned to normal.

Looking at the sunlight outside, Jiang Hao was slightly surprised, “Is it already morning?”

Had he been absorbing the power of the pill all night?

His original plan had been disrupted.

“Aren’t you usually very cautious?”

Hong Yuye fixed her gaze on Jiang Hao:

“Why did you take the pill this time without asking any questions?”

“If senior wanted to harm me, it wouldn’t need to be this troublesome,” Jiang Hao replied truthfully.

There was no point in refusing the pill that the other party wanted him to take.

The Tianjue Gu poison was an example.

It was better to be generous. If the other party was satisfied, he would suffer less.

Hong Yuye looked deeply at Jiang Hao, and seeing that he could still listen and speak, she didn’t ask further.

“Continue investigating the Secret Whisper Slate,” Hong Yuye said softly as she put down her teacup.

“If there’s no progress, you know the consequences.”

“This junior understands,” Jiang Hao stood up and said.

Then he brewed a fresh pot of tea for Hong Yuye.

Looking at the tea, Hong Yuye said:

“Buy me some snacks to go with the tea.”

Jiang Hao nodded, not daring to ask what kind of snacks she wanted.

As long as he didn’t ask, he had to choose on his own.

If he asked, he definitely couldn’t afford it.

The few spirit stones he had left would be spent in an instant.

Hong Yuye would never ask for ordinary snacks; what she wanted was either unattainable or unaffordable.

“I want to go out for a stroll tonight,” Hong Yuye added.

Jiang Hao understood that he had to accompany her.

After agreeing, he took his leave from the room.

Just as he was closing the door behind him, he saw the young girl from yesterday cleaning the corridor.

The girl was startled and quickly bowed her head to apologize to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao didn’t mind and took some time to go out and buy some snacks for Hong Yuye.

They were just some ordinary pastries, but he had tasted them beforehand and found them to be good before making the purchase.

He also selected them based on appearance; good-looking and tasty, so it didn’t seem too perfunctory.

Sure enough, Hong Yuye didn’t say much.

Afterward, he went to the backyard to continue watering the seeds with spiritual liquid.

……

In the backyard.

Jiang Hao saw the young girl watering the flower beds.

Her skilled movements indicated that she often did this kind of work.

When a guest arrived, she immediately greeted them, and upon recognizing Jiang Hao, she boldly asked out of curiosity:

“Sir, are these plants for your wife? She must be very happy, right?”

The sudden question made Jiang Hao, who had just squatted down, break into a cold sweat.

But he quickly steadied his mind and calmly looked at the young girl, who was about twelve or thirteen years old.

He didn’t understand why she would ask such a question.

Then it dawned on him.

He had seen her twice.

The first time was yesterday evening.

She saw him enter Hong Yuye’s room.

The second time was this morning.

She saw him coming out of Hong Yuye’s room.

So he had stayed in Hong Yuye’s room overnight, and no one would believe that a man and a woman alone in a room had nothing to do with each other.

This led her to the misunderstanding.
