Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 43

Chapter 43: The Real Female Demon

“Greetings, senior,” Jiang Hao performed a greeting, not daring to be negligent, and then explained.

“I caught a spiritual pet today and plan to raise it.”

Hong Yuye glanced at the rabbit on the ground, stared for a while, then withdrew her gaze and asked.

“Why raise it here instead of at your residence?”

“I’m worried the rabbit might accidentally eat the senior’s flowers as food,” Jiang Hao quickly came up with an excuse.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly rose, as if a calm sea had whipped up towering waves.

The momentum was majestic and terrifying.

Jiang Hao was shocked, but the wave had already hit him, striking him in the chest.

With a bang, he was sent flying, crashing into a tree.

Leaves rustled and fell.

Seeing Jiang Hao’s disheveled appearance, Hong Yuye reached for the rabbit and said coldly.

“Although you’re full of lies, your cultivation has improved quickly.”

Jiang Hao stood up without speaking.

Although he was uninjured, he knew that if he displeased this woman, he would be the one to suffer.

He was just not sure whether this woman had seen through his cultivation level.

Since she didn’t say anything, he didn’t dare to ask.

Suddenly, the sound of the rabbit struggling was heard.

Looking up, he saw the woman holding the rabbit by the neck, her slender fingers seemingly about to pinch it to death.

“Senior…” Jiang Hao hesitated to speak.

But before he could say more, Hong Yuye looked at him with cold eyes.

“Can’t kill?”

“This…”

Jiang Hao didn’t know how to explain for a moment.

“Hmm?”

Hong Yuye’s voice was icy cold.

“It’s possible,” Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

Only when Jiang Hao finally spoke sensibly did Hong Yuye squeeze down hard.

With a snap, the rabbit stopped moving.

Then a bead and a map slowly appeared.

In a moment, the bead and map fell into Hong Yuye’s hands. She wiped her hand as if erasing something directly.

Finally, she put the items away.

After finishing her tasks, she casually tossed the rabbit to Jiang Hao, her voice indifferent as she said.

“Keep it in the yard.”

Having said that, she took a step towards the yard.

Jiang Hao watched as she reached the edge of the woods in one step, and then she was directly within his field of vision.

He didn’t know if she had gone back or if she had gone to look at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

It was broad daylight now, and he was somewhat suspicious that someone might have been monitoring that woman.

He looked around but didn’t discover anything, and only then did he turn his attention to the rabbit in his hands.

“The two treasures have been taken out; does that mean this rabbit is safe now?”

He guessed in his mind.

But since he couldn’t use his divine abilities now, he could only check tomorrow.

However, that woman’s insight is truly remarkable; he was no match for her at the moment.

He sighed in relief and carried the rabbit back to his dwelling.

The rabbit had fainted. He didn’t know if it was from fright or injury.

“I feel exceptionally calm as long as that woman isn’t around. But whenever I see her, that calmness disappears, and sometimes my emotional fluctuations are too obvious.”

On the way, Jiang Hao began to reflect.

“I’ve advanced too quickly recently, but my mental state hasn’t kept up. I can barely control it because of the Tianjue Gu poison.”

“Otherwise, if one’s virtue does not match one’s position, disaster will surely follow.”

“I must constantly introspect to prevent being blinded by power.”

After a short while, he returned to the yard.

He found that woman sitting elegantly and gracefully in the yard, her gaze fixed on the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

She was sitting on a wooden chair, with a wooden table in front of her.

It was quite fitting for a yard with many spiritual herbs.

The table and chairs weren’t Jiang Hao’s, and he didn’t care where they came from; they were none of his concern.

“How do you take care of the flower?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.

Jiang Hao was somewhat taken aback, wondering for a moment if he was not taking good care of it, but it didn’t feel like an accusation, more like an inquiry, so he replied immediately.

“One bowl of water a day.”

“Always?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Always,” Jiang Hao answered.

“Is that so?” Hong Yuye fell silent for a long time.

During this time, Jiang Hao placed the rabbit to one side and quietly waited.

After a while, seeing that Hong Yuye was still lost in thought, he brought out some tea and placed it on the wooden table, then set a boundary for the rabbit to prevent it from escaping once it woke up.

After doing all this, he stood back beside Hong Yuye.

“Have you practiced the ‘Heavenly Saber Seven Forms’?” Hong Yuye broke the silence.

“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded.

“How many forms have you learned?” Hong Yuye asked again.

“I’ve only mastered the first form,” Jiang Hao answered truthfully.

It had taken him a long time to learn the first form, and he hadn’t fully mastered it yet.

The rest would naturally have to wait.

Not to mention that the later forms were increasingly difficult to learn and even had cultivation level restrictions.

He couldn’t learn them even if he wanted to.

He could only take a cursory look.

Hong Yuye didn’t speak, just picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then placed the cup back on the table, her aura turning cold.

“Next time, bring out some drinkable tea.”

“What kind of tea does senior like to drink?” Jiang Hao asked.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yuye slowly spoke.

“Azure Red Sky, September Spring.”

Azure Red Sky?

Although Jiang Hao was unfamiliar with it, he had heard of it as a top-tier tea, so expensive that all the spirit stones he had earned over the years wouldn’t be enough to buy an ounce.

He said with a troubled expression: “Senior, this…”

However, under her cold gaze, Jiang Hao could only nod in agreement.

He could tell, this woman was not a good person.

To say she was a female demon wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

At that moment, Hong Yuye stood up and walked outside, not forgetting to remind Jiang Hao before leaving.

“Remember to take good care of my flower.”

After she had completely left, Jiang Hao stared at the teacup for a long time.

If he had known it would bring him trouble, he wouldn’t have brought out the tea.

He sighed and looked at the rabbit.

Being able to keep it normally was also a gain.

But after the female demon had left, he had a question.

Will someone with the Tianjue Yin Gu like him?

Out of curiosity, he went to the library.
