Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Help Me Beat Him Up

Jiang Hao looked at the person who appeared before him, feeling wary. The newcomer showed no regard for those around him.

Although the aura was not obvious, it was still unbearable for those at the Foundation Establishment level.

Gu Wen and the others sensed it immediately and looked at the newcomer with concern.

“Greetings, senior,” Gu Wen was the first to speak.

“May I ask if there is anything we can do for you, senior?”

Is he looking at the mine?

Jiang Hao noticed that the newcomer’s gaze was fixed on the mine, with a clear desire in his eyes.

After pondering for a moment, he had a guess: the person had come for the Enchantress.

“Appraisal.”

Regardless, it was best to first see the specific situation.

As he got closer, he realized that although this person had a Nascent Soul at full completion, something didn’t seem quite right.

Extending his spiritual sense, it didn’t feel like a Nascent Soul at full completion.

【Ye Dong: A true disciple of the Tianyu Sect, Nascent Soul at full completion, killed by Taoist Shang’an for his misdeeds. He used a secret technique to enter his body and take his place. He came for the Enchantress, wanting to find her again, and now he is confident that he can take both the stone coffin and the Enchantress out of the Corpse Realm, even at the cost of severe damage to his cultivation.】

Jiang Hao: “…”

It really is for the Enchantress.

Jiang Hao still doesn’t understand.

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths for a woman?

No matter how beautiful, what’s the use?

There are plenty of beautiful women in this world, each with different personalities.

If you have high cultivation, what can’t you have?

Why fixate on the Enchantress?

Or is it the effect of charm techniques that makes the other person so obsessed?

‘Maybe I’ll never understand them,’ Jiang Hao shook his head and sighed.

Whether it’s psychology or magic, he could never understand.

Firstly, with the Tianjue Gu poison, he wouldn’t react to any charm techniques.

Secondly, he is focused on improving his cultivation; he doesn’t want to touch on emotions, let alone find a dao companion.

These would only become his shackles, affecting his progress.

Of course, wanting and being able are two different things.

Right now, he needs to resolve the issue of being able.

“Are you mining here?” Taoist Shang’an asked, looking at the ore.

“Yes, does senior need ore?” Gu Wen respectfully said.

“I can decide on this, I will give it all to senior.”

The others didn’t speak, and Jiang Hao didn’t refuse.

The other party’s body was at Nascent Soul full completion, but internally far surpassed Nascent Soul.

It’s better not to start a conflict if possible.

If a fight did break out, the first thing to do would be to flee from here.

The other party came for the Enchantress and wouldn’t waste time chasing after him.

“Who entered the mine?” Taoist Shang’an asked again.

Gu Wen was silent for a moment.

“It was me,” Jiang Hao spoke up first.

Hearing this, Taoist Shang’an turned his gaze to him.

“Did you see anything?”

“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“What was it?” Taoist Shang’an immediately asked.

“A woman,” Jiang Hao replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Gu Wen and the others were somewhat surprised.

They were not aware of this.

“Enough, don’t say anymore,” Taoist Shang’an immediately interrupted, his eyes filled with both excitement and distress.

Jiang Hao didn’t understand his feelings.

After a moment, Taoist Shang’an suddenly spoke.

“When did you go into the mine to dig?”

“At night,” Jiang Hao answered.

“I will go with you tonight,” Taoist Shang’an said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down to the side, patiently waiting.

His gaze, however, remained fixed on the entrance of the cave.

Jiang Hao didn’t speak any further, instead turning to look at the others.

Apart from surprise, they said nothing more.

As for the woman mentioned by Jiang Hao, they did not ask further.

But they all remembered the Senior Brother and Senior Sister always saying not to go in.

Perhaps this was why.

……

In the evening.

The danger in the mine began to dissipate.

Jiang Hao stood at the entrance, waiting for the danger to completely recede.

After a short while, Taoist Shang’an spoke:

“We can go in now.”

Jiang Hao nodded and took the lead into the mine.

The others watched as the two of them entered, one after the other.

The five people exchanged glances and began to retreat and leave.

After a long time, the five people met up in the distance.

“What do you think?” Gu Wen asked the others.

“Who is that woman?” Murong Qingqing asked.

“This powerful individual came for that woman, could it be that Jiang Hao’s mining is also because of that woman?” Xia Dong asked.

“My Senior Sister said that once you go in, it’s easy to fall into it. Have they both fallen?” Ding Yu was puzzled.

“It seems that my Senior Brother’s breakthrough after half a year of mining might be due to a release of his mental state, leading to an epiphany. It’s just unknown who that woman is, how many people will come for her, and thinking about it, this place is very dangerous,” Gu Wen said worriedly.

“Should we leave?” Zhuge Zheng asked.

“We should see what the senior does first. I’m just afraid that we won’t get the spirit stones and instead be held hostage by the other party. Now is the best chance to leave,” Ding Yu said.

“Do you want to leave?” Gu Wen asked the others, seeing no one speak, he continued.

“I think it’s best to leave it to personal choice, but let’s agree in advance, nothing can be taken away.”

“You’re not leaving?” Zhuge Zheng asked.

“Of course, if I’m lucky, I can strike it rich here in one go, having spirit stones would make it so much more convenient to return to the sect,” Gu Wen said with a smile.

This statement left everyone stunned, and for a moment, they couldn’t refute.

Yes, in just one month they obtained ten thousand spirit stones.

What does ten thousand in a month signify?

What they received from their sect was only a few dozen to a hundred.

Even if they continuously completed missions, who knows how long it would take to accumulate ten thousand.

Zhuge Zheng also understood that his magical treasure was given by his family, but he never had many spirit stones.

Even if it was only five thousand a month, after half a year, they would have everything.

“I’ll stay as well,” Ding Yu spoke up.

He wasn’t bewitched by the spirit stones, but had his own considerations.

“I’m leaving,” Zhuge Zheng said.

The others understood that Zhuge Zheng was aiming to advance to Golden Core.

There was no need for him to stay and take risks.

Murong Qingqing was drawing something with a twig, which then snapped.

“I’ll stay too,” she said.

“I guess I’ll stay as well,” Xia Dong looked at the others and said.

……

Inside the mine, Jiang Hao was leading the way and asked:

“Senior, have you been here before?”

“I have,” Taoist Shang’an nodded.

At a three-way fork, Jiang Hao turned left.

“To the left?” Taoist Shang’an frowned.

“Shouldn’t we be digging on the right?”

“Why dig on the right?” Jiang Hao countered.

“Didn’t you meet Xiao Mei?” Taoist Shang’an was puzzled.

“Didn’t she tell you to dig on the right?”

“I’m here to mine,” Jiang Hao replied.

This left Taoist Shang’an confused.

“Don’t you like Xiao Mei?”

“Why should I like her?” Jiang Hao retorted.

“Xiao Mei is so nice…” Taoist Shang’an said.

“There are people in this world who are more beautiful than her and those with better personalities. Why should I like her?” Jiang Hao stated.

“Because those people don’t like you,” Taoist Shang’an said.

Jiang Hao: “…”

He didn’t understand.

“I’m here to take Xiao Mei out, to have her stay by my side forever,” Taoist Shang’an said.

“Senior, have you ever considered that she might go looking for other strong individuals?” Jiang Hao asked.

Taoist Shang’an fell silent.

After a while, Jiang Hao reached the spot and began to mine.

In the middle of the night, a fragrance appeared.

Taoist Shang’an became spirited.

As expected, the Enchantress appeared out of thin air.

Today, she was dressed in a fairy dress that covered her body more conservatively, which pleased Taoist Shang’an.

Too much exposure wasn’t good.

“Xiao Mei?” he exclaimed with surprise.

“Hmm?” the Enchantress looked at Taoist Shang’an with a puzzled face.

“It’s me, Shang’an,” Taoist Shang’an pointed to himself and said.

“Shang’an?” the Enchantress approached Taoist Shang’an, caressing his face and said.

“How did you become like this? I didn’t recognize you. Hit me a couple of times, otherwise, I feel guilty.”

“Go on, hit me, hit where there’s more flesh,” the Enchantress grabbed Taoist Shang’an’s arm and rubbed it against her chest.

Seeing this, Taoist Shang’an blushed and said, “T-there are other people here.”

“Oh, this person doesn’t like me at all. I like him so much, but he doesn’t care about me. Shang’an, can you beat him up for me to vent my frustration?”

The Enchantress said with a pitiful look.
