Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 368

Chapter 368: The Female Demon Inquires About Other Women

Faced with Hong Yuye’s words, Jiang Hao remained silent.

How could he have thought this through?

However, even if Hong Yuye hadn’t appeared, he might have been able to rely on his cultivation and vital energy to get through.

But whether he could really get through this calamity safely was uncertain.

After all, he couldn’t think of an answer.

The only thing that puzzled him was that the Red Feather Divine Pill had just failed to work.

There was a certain probability that it was due to the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.

Regarding Jiang Hao’s silence, Hong Yuye didn’t say anything.

She just asked him to pour her some tea.

“Have you attended the gathering?”

Hong Yuye asked, holding up her tea.

Jiang Hao sat down and, seeing another teacup, naturally poured one for himself.

“Yes,” he replied softly, taking a sip.

Although he didn’t know what kind of tea it was, for a moment, he felt as if his whole body had been cleansed.

His condition was rapidly improving.

This tea was something special.

Hong Yuye put down her teacup and said, “Tell me about the process.”

The gathering was a temporary one, with nothing special to report, the only thing mentioned was the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.

As he spoke, Jiang Hao took out the bead and handed it over:

“Senior, can you seal it away?”

Now, even if he returned the bead to the ruins, it would be too late.

The great destiny had already returned to the world, and the ruins alone could not suppress it.

And keeping it on him was far too dangerous.

He could use it to threaten others, but more often, others would focus on the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, willing to go down with it.

The people of End of All Things are not afraid of death.

Most of their members are those who do not cherish their lives.

They resent this world and have desperate and miserable pasts.

Whether it was the former Xue Yue or the current Li Bai, they were all the same, filled with despair.

Senior Brother Dongfang Ji’s experience was also similar, with a tragic past, but he seemed different.

It seemed his heart was still with the Tianyin Sect.

This is normal, as people are different.

Their thoughts and choices are also different.

But no matter what, Jiang Hao could sense that keeping the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead on him was more of a disadvantage than an advantage.

Even if the benefits outweighed the disadvantages, he didn’t need it.

After all, he lacked for nothing.

However, Hong Yuye only replied with two words: “Bad luck.”

Jiang Hao felt helpless.

After pondering for a moment, Hong Yuye continued,

“The other party used the traces of destiny and fortune to connect with the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, able to appear by your side at any time? This is no ordinary method. Neither that Mu Qiu nor this person could possibly know this way. It must be someone else from End of All Things who taught that person.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

The result of Li Bai’s identification was a rare Misfortune Body, and since he had entered End of All Things, he should have been discovered by some remarkable people.

“If the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead really erupts, how would sects like Haotian Sect and Mingyue Sect deal with it?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.

“By using the Haotian Mirror to temporarily control the eruption range, then the major immortal sects would mobilize, using treasures and various individuals blessed with destiny to suppress it,” Hong Yuye casually remarked while sipping tea.

“Can it be successful?” Jiang Hao inquired.

This time, Hong Yuye did not respond.

It was unclear whether it was because she couldn’t say or didn’t know.

“How old are you this year?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

“Twenty-seven,” Jiang Hao replied.

He used to be younger, but now he was approaching thirty.

It gave him the feeling of nearing middle age.

“What’s your cultivation level?” Hong Yuye asked again.

“Foundation Establishment complete,” Jiang Hao answered.

Hong Yuye glanced at Jiang Hao with a half-smile and said:

“When I was your age, I wasn’t full of lies.”

Jiang Hao set down his teacup and remained silent.

“How are my flowers doing?” Hong Yuye asked casually while drinking tea.

“They are growing well,” Jiang Hao replied.

“Have you been taking good care of them?”

“I wouldn’t dare neglect senior’s flowers.”

“Do you still remember why I asked you to go undercover at the stone slate gathering?”

“I keep it in mind always and dare not forget it for a moment.”

He had somewhat forgotten.

He remembered it was to find out the mastermind behind the stone slates, which was the ultimate goal, and then to locate the other slates.

The progress before seemed to have found a lead to the End of All Things, but it was unclear who had provided the slate.

After recalling everything, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he wasn’t completely clueless.

Hong Yuye snorted coldly but did not press further.

After quietly drinking tea for a while, she looked at Jiang Hao and said.

“I remember you have a Junior Sister from the dragon clan.”

“It’s Junior Sister Xiao Li,” Jiang Hao replied.

He didn’t understand why Hong Yuye suddenly brought up Xiao Li.

“Do you think I would harm her?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I wouldn’t dare,” Jiang Hao stood up and said earnestly.

“Senior is unparalleled in the world, with strategic wisdom and profound virtue; naturally, you wouldn’t stoop to the level of a child.”

Hearing this, Hong Yuye gave a cold smile and said,

“Continue.”

Jiang Hao hesitated, finding it somewhat difficult.

But seeing her cold face, he had no choice but to continue:

“Senior’s grace is as vast as the ocean and sky, unmatched in the world, peerless and independent, master of strategies, with foresight and insight, discerning the finest detail, open-minded as a valley, captivating as a sinking fish or falling wild goose, modest as a closed moon or a shy flower, with broad knowledge…”

“That’s all?” Hong Yuye said with a half-smile.

Jiang Hao was at a loss for words.

He couldn’t think of much more to say.

Hong Yuye snorted coldly.

“Is that all I am?”

Jiang Hao bowed his head.

Seeing that Jiang Hao was still responsive, Hong Yuye didn’t take it further but instead asked:

“What else is your relationship with that Junior Sister Xiao Li?”

What relationship?

Jiang Hao pondered for a moment and replied truthfully:

“Due to her family’s wishes, Junior Sister Xiao Li eventually took me as her elder brother and adopted my surname. Now she should be called Jiang Xiaoli.”

Hong Yuye lowered her gaze and did not ask any more questions.

Jiang Hao was also unclear why Hong Yuye had suddenly asked about Xiao Li.

Hong Yuye had known about Xiao Li a long time ago.

She was aware when Xiao Li’s grandparents left.

But why did she suddenly start paying attention now?

“What about the Secret Whisper Slate?”

Hong Yuye changed the subject.

Jiang Hao obediently took out the stone slate.

After a glance, Hong Yuye let him put the slate away.

It seemed she just wanted to make sure it was normal.

Afterward, she continued drinking tea. Jiang Hao also occasionally sipped his cup.

When the tea was finished, Hong Yuye asked him to dispose of the tea leaves.

This tea was probably not ordinary; it could be taken back for the rabbit to eat.

Although he didn’t buy it with his own spirit stones, he instinctively felt it was wasteful.

After everything was done, Hong Yuye extended her finger and touched Jiang Hao’s chest.

Then she drew some symbols, which made Jiang Hao somewhat uncomfortable.

Immediately after, Hong Yuye struck out with her palm.

With a bang, Jiang Hao was sent flying backward.

“Remember, you owe me two things, and one day you’ll have to repay them. If you don’t want to repay them too soon, then take good care of my flowers.”

Hong Yuye’s voice reached Jiang Hao’s ears.

Afterward, her figure disappeared.

Jiang Hao landed on the ground, not feeling any pain.

It was slightly different from the previous collision with the vast aura.

He touched his chest and found nothing there.

He didn’t understand what Hong Yuye had drawn at the end, and as for that palm strike, he felt as if something had left his body.

The specifics were unknown, but there were no issues inside his body.
