Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Appraising the Female Demon

The moment he saw her, Jiang Hao’s previously calm heart rippled.

It wasn’t because he wanted to see the woman before him, but because his mind finally felt normal.

It seemed that the other side of the Gu poison was on her.

The person was the same woman he had spent a night with before.

Her beauty truly surpassed anyone he had ever seen.

‘In terms of figure, adding a bit would be too much, subtracting a bit would be too little; applying powder would make her too pale, applying rouge would make her too red; eyebrows like green feathers, skin like white snow; waist like bound silk, teeth like shells.’

Seeing her again, Jiang Hao could only think of this description.

“It seems you have some trouble remembering me,” Hong Yuye suddenly looked up at the man in front of the house.

Her eyes were frosty, her demeanor cold.

“I wouldn’t dare,” Jiang Hao replied respectfully with his head bowed.

“Senior’s presence flusters me.”

“Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, it seems your advancement went smoothly,” Hong Yuye casually revealed Jiang Hao’s secret while standing in the light.

This alarmed Jiang Hao.

When he had met her, he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Now, in about three months, not only had he reached Foundation Establishment, but he had also advanced to the mid-stage.

If she delved deeper, it would be over for him.

Moreover, with the cover of Primordial Purple Qi, how did she notice? )

“Are you puzzled?” Hong Yuye stared at the man before her, disdainfully saying.

“Cultivation can be hidden, but the body is very honest. The speed of power circulation, the strength of breathing, the reach of the spirit.”

“Saying that you have been in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment for a long time wouldn’t be an exaggeration. ”

“Of course, your body and spirit are stronger than most, but there are limits. Combining other factors, one can guess your cultivation level.”

“More importantly, you advanced under my watch. Do I look like a blind person to you?”

Jiang Hao had no response.

It turned out that hiding one’s cultivation level was this complicated.

It seemed he needed to study this in the future.

However, he was somewhat concerned about the purpose of the woman’s visit, especially since she was standing next to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

That worried him even more.

Fortunately, she didn’t seem intent on prying too deeply.

Unfortunately, she might indeed be interested in the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

“Senior, may I ask why you have come?” Jiang Hao asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Hong Yuye glanced at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and asked,

“Did you plant this?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Hao nodded and calmly replied, “Just a little hobby of mine.”

“How did you plant it?” Hong Yuye asked again.

“I water it with a bowl of water every day,” Jiang Hao answered truthfully.

Hong Yuye seemed somewhat incredulous.

“Just like that?”

“Just like that,” Jiang Hao nodded.

Though it was a simple explanation and somewhat unbelievable, he was indeed telling the truth.

After a long silence, Hong Yuye squatted down and gently touched the young sprout, her expression blank as she said,

“This plant smells nice. When it grows up, I want to take it away. Do you have any objections?”

“Senior, this…” Jiang Hao intended to refuse.

But before he could finish speaking, Hong Yuye looked up and snorted coldly.

“Hmm?”

“For the time being, not yet,” Jiang Hao replied.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a powerful force swept through the area, its momentum immense and earth-shattering, as if it could erase everything.

With a bang, Jiang Hao was knocked back, barely managing to keep his footing.

Then he spoke again.

“No objections.”

Such a great force, yet so little harm done, indicated that the other party did not intend to kill, but he could not go against her will.

How strong must she be?

Jiang Hao was inwardly shocked.

Seeing that Jiang Hao was still obedient, Hong Yuye refrained from making another move.

She simply withdrew her gaze and looked towards the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

“This flower is mine now. You take good care of it.”

“Flower? When does senior plan to take it away?” Jiang Hao asked.

“When it blooms and bears fruit,” Hong Yuye replied calmly.

Her voice was extremely pleasant, and whether or not it was tinged with emotion, it was like a breath of spring to Jiang Hao.

Unfortunately, she was a robber, Jiang Hao sighed.

As for Hong Yuye’s answer, it relieved him quite a bit.

After all, it was unknown how long it would take for the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower to mature, which meant he had plenty of time.

This way, he wasn’t worried about losing the flower and facing punishment, although, of course, Elder Bai Zhi’s intention was for him to fish…

Wait, to fish?

Jiang Hao suddenly remembered why such a remarkable thing was used as bait for fishing, speculating that it was meant to catch someone extraordinary.

Then…

Wasn’t it this woman in front of him?

Her beauty and strength were unparalleled.

Perhaps the Tianyin Sect’s purpose was to lure her out.

For a moment, he didn’t dare to say anything, pretending he hadn’t realized this.

Hong Yuye stood up, went inside the house, and sat down, leaving Jiang Hao standing aside, waiting for instructions.

“I won’t let you help for nothing,” she said as a piece of paper appeared on the table.

Hong Yuye spoke indifferently.

“This is a formation diagram. You don’t need any special skills; just set it up as shown. It will help you prevent the dissipation of spiritual energy. With that flower, it can greatly enhance your spiritual energy, which is beneficial for your cultivation.”

Jiang Hao was somewhat tempted. He had been thinking about doing this recently to avoid trouble.

As for the traitors, they wouldn’t act in the short term, and he didn’t know why.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao suddenly remembered his divine ability.

Could he determine the specific situation just by appraising the person in front of him?

But she was too strong, and he was worried about being discovered.

After hesitating, Jiang Hao still chose to appraise.

His divine ability activated quickly, and then he received feedback, but the result left him astonished.

【???】

Jiang Hao: “???”

“Do you have any questions?” Hong Yuye asked coldly.

“No, thank you, senior,” Jiang Hao quickly replied, while also concealing his surprise.
