Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: The Arrival of the Female Demon

Watching the rabbit crawl in, Jiang Hao was quite surprised.

Hearing that it still wanted a collar made him laugh.

This creature had gone through so much trouble just for a collar.

Too bad its master was in dire straits.

But soon, he noticed that the rabbit seemed to have come in without anyone else knowing.

“How did you get in?” Jiang Hao asked.

The guards here were not strict, but it was not a place where a Foundation Establishment mid-stage rabbit could come and go freely.

“I saw the window and climbed in,” the rabbit said nonchalantly as it landed on the ground.

“The formations on the road all gave Lord Rabbit some face and didn’t report me.”

“How did the formations give you face?” Jiang Hao found it amusing.

Whether they gave face or not wasn’t important; what mattered was that the rabbit really got in.

It had passed through the formations.

“Just like this.”

The rabbit hopped, and a white mist seemed to envelop it before it disappeared from Jiang Hao’s view.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao was quite surprised, then reached behind his head.

The rabbit trying to sneak attack him was caught by the ears.

The rabbit didn’t struggle, knowing full well how terrifying its master could be.

“What is this?” Jiang Hao brought the rabbit in front of him and asked.

Hanging in the air, the rabbit crossed its arms and said,

“It’s the great news I wanted to tell Master about yesterday.”

Great news? Jiang Hao did remember this, but he hadn’t paid much attention.

He didn’t expect the rabbit to have such an ability.

The rabbit’s appearance made him think of many possibilities.

Perhaps there were other options to consider.

After hesitating, he activated his divine ability.

Appraisal.

【Mythical Beast Rabbit: Possesses sufficient spiritual intelligence, at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, has just comprehended the innate divine ability ‘Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea’, which weakens its presence, deceives simple formations and restrictions, as well as people’s perception. It harbors a deep-seated mythical beast bloodline. If fed with one hundred spirit stones a day, its hidden bloodline can be further awakened after forty-nine days. Feeding it spirit stones daily can increase its favorability. Currently, it feels awe towards you.】

Deceive the Heavens to Cross the Sea?

After understanding the divine ability, he couldn’t help but feel that it was indeed very suitable for the Mythical Beast Rabbit.

However, this divine ability wasn’t high-level, only capable of deceiving simple formations and those with weaker perceptions.

Which means it could come in safely, but it might not be able to leave safely.

“Master, look, the collar is cracked some more,” the rabbit pleaded, holding its neck collar.

“Please buy one.”

After putting the rabbit down, Jiang Hao was silent for a long time.

Finally, he sighed slightly, as if he had made a decision, and said,

“I remember you wanted a storage treasure a couple of days ago.”

“Yes, look here,” the rabbit pointed to the iron ring on its collar and said:

“Cheng Chou gave me a little face and bought it for me.”

“It really suits you,” Jiang Hao couldn’t help but remark.

When he returned, he could indeed give some advice to the other party, as ordinary storage treasures weren’t very expensive.

But for someone from the outer sect, they were very costly.

“Will you be discovered if you go out?” Jiang Hao asked.

The rabbit said nonchalantly: “Even if I’m discovered, it’s no big deal, people on the road are easy to talk to.”

Jiang Hao smiled, not putting any pressure on it, but instead took its storage treasure and filled it with a lot of items from his own storage treasure.

The space in the iron ring was too small to hold much, but it could fit most things that shouldn’t be there.

Nutrient beads, spirit swords, spears, sabers, and pills—he put almost everything inside.

Only then did he hand the iron ring to the rabbit,

“Go and make sure no one sees what’s inside the iron ring. I’ll buy you a collar when I get out.”

“Really?” The rabbit’s face lit up with joy as it took the iron ring.

Jiang Hao nodded earnestly.

“Really, but there’s one condition—you mustn’t let anyone discover it.”

“Leave it to me, Lord Rabbit is invincible in this world,” the rabbit said, brimming with excitement.

“Right, after you get out, remember to hide the iron ring somewhere no one can find it. I’ll tell you when to bring it back,” Jiang Hao instructed further.

The rabbit agreed wholeheartedly and then zipped out the window.

And like that, it disappeared from Jiang Hao’s sight.

Watching the rabbit leave, Jiang Hao’s heart couldn’t stay calm.

Because in the end, he had chosen the rabbit.

Neither that woman, Liu Xingchen, nor using the Nine Revolutions Death Replacement were the best options.

Perhaps that woman was the safest bet, but she was also the hardest to deal with.

So the rabbit became the best choice, though he had also considered the consequences if the rabbit were caught and everything was exposed.

He needed to fabricate a person in the remaining time.

Whether he could escape this calamity or not, he had to try.

After all, he was the one who had planted the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower; perhaps just one favorable condition would be enough for them to spare him.

He couldn’t rush or act recklessly.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling of the formation outside.

It seemed something had triggered the formation and been detected.

“Over on the right, chase them.”

Voices came from outside, making Jiang Hao’s heart race.

This was still under the condition of being poisoned by the Tianjue Gu; without it, it was debatable whether his immature mind could remain stable.

He was still too young and not mature enough in mind.

But since he had made his choice, there was no need for regrets.

Striving to forge a path to survival was the urgent matter at hand.

After the noise outside stopped, Jiang Hao began to wait.

If the rabbit was caught, they would come for him soon.

Thump-

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before there was a knock at the door.

“Junior Brother Jiang, your actions have been exposed, but I can save you.”

An unfamiliar voice came from outside.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao was startled and felt helpless.

Had the rabbit been caught?

Just as he was about to respond, he hesitated again.

Then he questioned.

“What do you mean?”

“You know what I mean. There’s only one chance. Do you want to seize it?” the person outside asked.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief internally, then remained silent.

He didn’t want to engage with the person outside.

According to them, they didn’t know about the rabbit.

Since they didn’t know, it was impossible for him to be exposed. This person might be from the Hall of Enforcement trying to fish for information.

Eventually, the person outside sighed and left after making a threatening remark.

Jiang Hao continued to wait.

In the darkness, there was no sound, nor was there anyone to talk to. Jiang Hao sat still, just waiting.

……

The next day.

When he opened his eyes, he found an additional figure beside him, which surprised him greatly.

Turning to look, he saw a woman in red gazing out of the small hole, lost in thought.

Seeing Jiang Hao wake up, she turned her gaze back to him and said.

“Do you really like terrible environments? It’s either the mines or places like this cramped dark room.”

Seeing that it was Hong Yuye, Jiang Hao relaxed and then stood up to greet her respectfully.

“Greetings to senior.”

He didn’t know how she had gotten in, but he wasn’t surprised she could.

Hong Yuye waved her hand, and a new chair appeared along with a teapot and water.

After sitting down, she took out a teacup and calmly spoke.

“Did you bring your tea leaves?”

“I did,” Jiang Hao replied without hesitation, beginning to help make tea.

If the rabbit hadn’t shown up yesterday, Hong Yuye might have become his lifeline.
