Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 372

Chapter 372: The Female Demon’s Questions to Xiao Li

Under the moonlight, Xiao Li began picking white dates.

She put the first one in her mouth and held the others in her hand.

As she picked them, she would remember the times when her grandparents were still around; back then, she would sneak glances at them while picking.

Sometimes they wouldn’t let her pick.

Her grandma would say, “They’re not ripe yet; you’ll get a stomachache if you eat them.”

Her grandpa was different; he would quietly come up behind her and ask what she was doing.

He loved to scare her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Li held the white dates and felt sad.

“Why aren’t you continuing to pick?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.

Xiao Li was startled, and the white dates scattered from her hands; she tried to catch them, causing even more to fall.

In her fluster, she didn’t catch a single one.

Only then did she suddenly turn around and notice a red and white figure had appeared beside her at some point.

Under the moonlight, her delicate features were stunning.

She was as beautiful as the scenery around her.

“So beautiful,” Xiao Li exclaimed.

Hong Yuye looked at Xiao Li with an expressionless face and asked.

“Are you Xiao Li?”

“Do you know me?”

Xiao Li crouched down to pick up the white dates.

One had fallen near Hong Yuye’s feet, and she bent down to pick it up.

After wiping it, she offered it to the person in front of her, asking if they wanted to eat it.

Seeing this, Hong Yuye took the white date but didn’t eat it.

“Is this date tree yours?”

“It was left to me by my grandparents,” Xiao Li said with a somber expression.

Hong Yuye looked at the white date, gently wiped it, and casually asked,

“When did you start following them?”

“When? I’ve been with my grandparents since I can remember,” Xiao Li said as she sniffed around Hong Yuye.

She looked at the person in front of her and curiously asked.

“Are you a Senior Sister? But how come I’ve never seen you before?”

Hong Yuye chuckled: “Why would you have seen me?”

“Because…”

Xiao Li sniffed again and then said, “I feel like you must know Jiang Senior Brother.”

“Do you have a good relationship with him?”

Hong Yuye wasn’t surprised, just asking.

“Yeah,” Xiao Li said with a smile.

“Now, Senior Brother Jiang is Xiao Li’s elder brother.”

Hong Yuye was silent, her gaze resting on the young girl before her, and then a pill appeared in her hand.

“Try this.”

“What is this?”

Xiao Li was puzzled.

“Red Feather Divine Pill,” Hong Yuye said.

Xiao Li didn’t understand what it was, but without overthinking, she took it and put it in her mouth.

After chewing twice, she was somewhat delighted.

“It’s crunchy and sweet.”

Soon, Xiao Li swallowed the pill.

Hong Yuye beside her watched intently, seemingly trying to discern any changes.

After a long while, she finally asked.

“How does it feel after swallowing it?”

Xiao Li furrowed her brows and said.

“It feels like something is running wild in my body, and I can’t catch it.”

“Come here,” Hong Yuye said softly.

Xiao Li walked over, and a slender finger traced something on her body, making her feel ticklish.

She giggled and shrank back.

Then a hand gently patted her, and instantly she felt the wild thing inside her run out.

She felt comfortable all at once.

She looked around, feeling a bit strange.

Hong Yuye lowered her eyes, seemingly pondering something.

Finally, she shook her head slightly as if she hadn’t found the answer she was looking for.

Then she turned to leave.

But just as she turned, Xiao Li suddenly grabbed her hand, seemingly not wanting her to go.

“Hmm?”

Hong Yuye turned her head to look.

Xiao Li, a bit scared, immediately let go of the hand.

Seeing the person in front of her looking over, she was at a loss and in a panic, she offered the white dates.

“Please, have some.”

Looking at the young girl before her, Hong Yuye’s gaze deepened.

She took a white date and calmly asked, “How old are you?”

“Sixteen,” Xiao Li answered.

“What’s your cultivation level?”

“Qi Refining Seventh Level, almost at the Eighth Level.”

“Do you know how to lie?”

“Ah?” Xiao Li was puzzled.

“Grandma says that lying is not what good children do, and the rabbit doesn’t lie either. It says that being honest is important in life and that it makes friends through sincerity. That’s why all the friends on the road gave the rabbit some face.”

Hong Yuye looked at the girl in front of her with a strange expression in her eyes.

“How did you get here?”

Xiao Li began to talk excitedly about her own experiences, continuing until midnight before falling asleep.

The next day, she woke up under a jujube tree.

She looked around and didn’t see the red-clothed Senior Sister, which puzzled her.

As she was about to think more about it, her stomach suddenly growled.

She then put the matter out of her mind and ran towards the dining hall.

……

Seven days later, at noon.

Jiang Hao was dealing with spiritual medicines in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

The matter with Mu Qiu was over, but the overseas issues were not.

Others were still coveting the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead.

Even though there was no rare Misfortune Body, he still had to be on guard.

Some people from the Tianyin Sect were still investigating the overseas individuals and the remaining members of the Tiansheng Sect.

They wanted to nip the danger in the bud.

Most of this information was relayed to him by Liu Xingchen.

However, due to the arrival of the Mingyue Sect, the sect could not make any major moves.

They needed to deal with the powerful individuals from the Mingyue Sect.

If the other party made a move, the consequences would be unimaginable.

During these days, Han Ming and others were preparing, as the people from the Mingyue Sect had proposed a sparring request.

What surprised everyone was that the person who would be fighting was the important figure from the Mingyue Sect, Xu Bai.

It was said that he would suppress his cultivation level to fight with everyone.

For a moment, the sect felt somewhat bullied.

Wasn’t this just setting them up for embarrassment?

Regardless, Han Ming never slacked off; he was almost always with his master.

He did this to make himself stronger.

It could be said that among those at the Foundation Establishment level, no one was as diligent as Han Ming.

He had higher talent, more opportunities, and worked harder than others.

There was no reason for anyone to catch up to him.

In his view, Jiang Hao was just taking advantage of his higher cultivation level to bully him.

Once Han Ming reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, it would be Jiang Hao’s time to fall.

Jiang Hao often saw the confidence in Han Ming.

Occasionally, Han Ming would come to tell him that Senior Brother was only hiding in the Spiritual Medicine Garden and would eventually be surpassed.

To this, Jiang Hao would always praise Junior Brother Han and encourage him to practice harder.

However, he did not expect Xu Bai from the Mingyue Sect to want to spar with disciples at the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul levels.

The Mingyue Sect shouldn’t be so oppressive, right?

To them, the Tianyin Sect was just a remote sect, nothing more.

But he didn’t care, as he wasn’t among the participants.

He would just watch from below when the time came.

At that moment, someone unexpectedly visited the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

When he went out to see, it turned out to be Fang Jin.

Why had he come?

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

“I hope I haven’t troubled you,” Fang Jin said politely.

“I came to look around and hope I haven’t caused any inconvenience.”

“Not at all, senior. If there’s anything you need us to do, please feel free to ask,” Jiang Hao said with a bow.

“There’s no need for that. According to the hierarchy of our sects, we should be about the same, so it’s better to call each other fellow Daoists. Calling me senior is too much,” Fang Jin said.

Jiang Hao bowed his head and said nothing.

For someone at the Foundation Establishment level to call a Nascent Soul Daoist a fellow Daoist was quite a troublesome matter.

This was the case with the Corpse God Sect in the past.

“Your name is Jiang Hao?” Fang Jin suddenly asked.

“That’s right,” Jiang Hao nodded.

Fang Jin nodded and didn’t ask further, instead continuing to look around.

After a brief tour, he left.

Jiang Hao knew that Fang Jin was secretly looking for Chu Chuan.

If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to find him.

Fortunately, Lin Zhi had used a Qi Breath Concealing Talisman in advance.

It wouldn’t be easy to detect anything.

The rest was up to Chu Chuan.
