Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 161

Chapter 161: What Do You Get for Raising a Dragon?

In front of the spiritual field, Xiao Li stood quietly, her head down, looking at her toes, appearing very aggrieved.

Cheng Chou, who had come with Jiang Hao, was extremely surprised.

Junior Sister Xiao Li, who feared neither heaven nor earth, was only afraid of Senior Brother Jiang. Even when facing Senior Sister Miao Tinglian, she didn’t care much.

She wouldn’t cause trouble, but she definitely wouldn’t look like she does now.

Cheng Chou had only seen Xiao Li act this way when she went home.

She would be very well-behaved in front of her elders, not daring to eat too much for fear they would have nothing left.

Jiang Hao looked at Xiao Li in front of him and calmly asked, “Did you have a good breakfast?”

“I-I ate well,” Xiao Li nodded.

“Have you been neglecting your studies and cultivation these past few months?” Jiang Hao continued.

Early cultivation involved reciting the Tianyin Hundred Revolutions.

“I-I did for a little while,” Xiao Li said, sounding guilty.

“Rabbit,” Jiang Hao called out.

“Master, I’m here,” the rabbit reported, jumping onto Xiao Li’s shoulder.

“I have a task for the two of you,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

“Our outer sect has a new disciple named Chu Chuan. Every week, you guys should go check on him to see how his cultivation is progressing.”

“How should we test him?” Xiao Li asked curiously.

Jiang Hao replied calmly, “With fists.”

“I’m good at that.” Xiao Li was somewhat excited at the moment.

The rabbit shook its neck collar and said, “Is Master finally going to let people know how outstanding Lord Rabbit is?”

Jiang Hao ignored them and asked Cheng Chou to follow them when the time came to prevent the two from going overboard.

As the end of the year approached, Jiang Hao looked at Xiao Li and said,

“Remember to make a breakthrough in these two months. In a few months, I will have Cheng Chou send you back.”

Hearing Jiang Hao’s words, Xiao Li excitedly jumped up, grabbed the rabbit, and hopped around.

After paying no more attention to these people, Jiang Hao began to take care of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Except for the simple attic that remained unchanged, everything else had changed.

He went to the area where the spiritual medicines from the Hundred Bones Forest were fostered and observed carefully.

He noticed that the aura was a bit chaotic.

It was because the spiritual energy was entangled with the surrounding spiritual energy and couldn’t be released normally.

“It seems that Senior Sister Miao knows the art of sealing spirits. Even if she doesn’t know it completely, she knows the gist of it. Is she helping me?” Jiang Hao pondered inwardly.

To be precise, Miao Senior Sister had been quite good to him.

After helping her reunite with Senior Brother Mu Qi, she always remembered this favor.

Of course, that was all.

Jiang Hao wasn’t foolish; these things could already offset the small favor of bringing her into the sect.

So, he shouldn’t expect others to owe him anything.

That would be disliked.

Having lived in the Demon Sect for so long, what’s valuable is self-awareness.

……

At noon, after familiarizing himself with the Spiritual Medicine Garden, Jiang Hao went to the outer sect dining hall.

He came with Xiao Li because he wanted to see why the dining hall was dissatisfied.

To Jiang Hao’s surprise, the dining hall was already packed at this time.

After Xiao Li entered, wails erupted instantly.

“She’s here, she’s here, hurry, eat quickly.”

“Grab it into your bowl, don’t snatch from others’ bowls, Junior Sister Li.”

Jiang Hao watched from the side.

He noticed that they ate as if they were going into battle as if facing a great enemy.

Once Xiao Li entered the fray, it was like a whirlwind sweeping through, and the food that had been laid out didn’t last long before it was all gone.

“Junior Sister, this is what we paid for, you can’t eat it!”

“Oh.”

The newly arrived disciples were somewhat astonished.

“Eh, isn’t it just mealtime, why is there no food left?”

Sighing, Jiang Hao used a divine ability on Xiao Li.

Identification.

【Xiao Li: Dragon race, severely injured by the heavenly thunder, lost memory, lost power, outer disciple of Tianyin Sect. Currently growing, so her appetite is even greater than before.】

A dragon in the midst of growing, indeed these things were not enough for her to eat.

After calling Xiao Li back, Jiang Hao was also quite helpless.

Dragons are not easy to raise.

He then took people to the dining hall management.

“Senior Brother Jiang.”

A young man greeted Jiang Hao respectfully.

Feng Yang, an inner disciple of Duanqing Cliff, at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

He was in charge of the dining hall for the outer sect of Duanqing Cliff.

Shopping, managing food, and so on.

Xiao Li’s appearance had been a headache for him, but since Xiao Li had mentioned Lord Rabbit’s name, it indicated she was a disciple valued by Jiang Hao.

So, it wasn’t easy to say anything.

He had tried to find Jiang Hao several times but discovered that the other party was not around.

Recently, he heard that Jiang Hao had returned and was planning to visit him in a couple of days to resolve the issue with Xiao Li.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Hao came directly.

“Junior Brother Feng.” Jiang Hao said politely.

“Junior Sister Xiao Li has caused you some trouble.”

“Senior Brother is too kind.” Feng Yang said with some difficulty,

“It’s just that recently some Junior Brothers and Sisters have been complaining, and I’m afraid it might reach the ears of some Senior Brothers and Sisters.”

There weren’t many people from the stewardship of Duanqing Cliff.

Mostly, some true-transmission Senior Brothers or Senior Sisters were managing it.

At the top was the master, Ku Wuchang.

A lineage that had risen in a few decades indeed didn’t have the same foundation as other large lineages.

“Junior Sister Xiao Li has been growing recently, so her appetite has increased.” Jiang Hao pondered for a moment and said.

“Could you prepare some food rich in vitality for her? I’ve seen the situation in the dining hall, and I will strictly forbid her from snatching the meals of other Junior Brothers and Sisters.”

“Food rich in vitality? This…” Feng Yang furrowed his brows.

Because such food was expensive, and it would significantly increase their expenses.

“This extra expense doesn’t need to be borne by the dining hall.”

Saying this, Jiang Hao took out thirty spirit stones.

“I’ll have Xiao Li Junior Sister hand in the spirit stones once a month. Junior Brother, you can prepare with these stones. If there are one or two spirit stones left over, you can keep them for yourself,” he said.

“Thirty spirit stones a month?”

Feng Yang looked at the spirit stones on the table in disbelief.

You should know that he only receives twenty spirit stones a month.

And this Senior Brother in front of him is spending thirty spirit stones a month just to ensure a single Junior Sister eats well?

Unbelievable.

He naturally wouldn’t refuse; it was clear that the other party was giving him one or two extra spirit stones.

With thirty spirit stones a month, the canteen issue would be settled, and from now on, Xiao Li could eat better too.

However, Jiang Hao also forbade her from snatching food like that.

Such behavior could cause trouble.

Fortunately, the canteen staff were easy to talk to; otherwise, everything would be too late by the time he returned.

After leaving the canteen with Xiao Li, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but sigh.

He was raising rabbits, cultivating peach trees, and now he had to take care of a dragon.

The pressure of providing enough spirit stones was somewhat high.

Cultivating the peach trees to undergo nine nirvanas would be worth it, even if it produced nine purple bubbles; he would not be at a loss and would gain a divine peach tree.

The rabbits were a bit more troublesome and could cause issues; once they were raised, he would prioritize releasing it to fulfill its dreams of becoming a great demon.

As for Xiao Li, at the moment, he couldn’t see any benefits. But every time he saw her causing trouble, he felt it was not right to ignore her. He could only do his best.

After raising her, he would also prioritize setting her free. Dragons should not be confined within the sect gates.

“Are you that hungry?” Jiang Hao asked Xiao Li beside him.

“Eating more helps you grow taller,” Xiao Li whispered.

“My grandparents want to see what Xiao Li will look like when she’s grown up.”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao paused, not asking further. The elderly couple didn’t have many years left. Then, he asked Cheng Chou to take them to meet Chu Chuan.

When he returned to the Spiritual Medicine Garden, he saw an outer disciple fuming.

“Those spiritual medicines were prepared by a Senior Brother for his attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage. You all better think carefully; don’t let the disciples of Duanqing Cliff suffer because of you. Besides, your Spiritual Medicine Garden isn’t short on money. What difference does it make if you owe a bit more or less?”
