Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness - Chapter 384: 385: The Demoness Is Back Again

Chapter 385: The Demoness Is Back Again

Jiang Hao ignored the pitiful state of the beast and stepped in. “Greetings,

Senior.”

Hong Yuye stood up and turned around.

“Where are the fruits from my peach tree?” she asked with a smile.

Jiang Hao was taken aback. He hadn’t paid attention to her words. Instead, he was captivated by her smile.

‘A smile to captivate all beings.’ His usually calm heart was filled with ripples.

However, he quickly suppressed these feelings. Then, he lowered his head. “I’m sorry. My junior must have stolen everything.”

He placed the two peaches he had picked earlier on the table.

It seemed like she had foreseen this.

Hong Yuye sat down and picked up one of the peaches. She wiped it gently. “Is it sweet or sour this time?”

“Sweet,” Jiang Hao said.

There probably weren’t any sour ones left by now.

“How many more times do you need to make the tree undergo incarnations?” Hong Yuye took a bite of the peach.

“Five times,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye didn’t say anything but continued to eat the peaches.

Jiang Hao had eaten one before, and it was indeed delicious. However, most of them ended up in Xiao Li’s tummy. Only she could eat so much. Anyone else would have grown tired of them long ago.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Senior, did you visit Xiao Li?”

Hong Yuye glanced at Jiang Hao. Her smile seemed to mock him. “Do you wish I didn’t?”

“Of course not. I hope you visit her again,” Jiang Hao said.

‘Why?” Hong Yuye chuckled.

“Senior, you possess great wisdom and virtue. It’s Xiao Li’s good fortune to receive guidance from you,” Jiang Hao said respectfully. With a peach in her mouth, Hong Yuye turned to face Jiang Hao.

“You’re just like your beast.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Hong Yuye continued to eat the peaches. She finished eating and then turned to him.

“I went to find that dragon.”

As expected, it was Hong Yuye.

‘But why?’ Jiang Hao was surprised, but he couldn’t figure out why she had gone to visit Xiao Li.

Xiao Li wasn’t worth Hong Yuye’s attention for now.

“Even if she doesn’t remember it, she’s still a dragon,” said Hong Yuye.

Jiang Hao had the same feeling. Despite her loss of memories, she hadn’t changed much. But she was also just a teenage girl.

“She doesn’t even know she’s a dragon, but she seems particularly fond of you.” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao nodded. “She feels grateful because I was the one who recruited her to join the sect.”

He was quite curious about Hong Yuye’s intentions with Xiao Li. ‘What is her motive?’

Xiao Li was just a simple child who didn’t know much of anything. Why would Hong Yuye be interested in her?

Hong Yuye finished the peach in her hand and stood up. “Go and prepare. I want to take a bath.”

Jiang Hao nodded.

He went to prepare hot water.

First, he cleaned the bathroom and the tub. Soon, the water was ready.

He used his technique to heat it.

He added some Silver Moon Petals as well. He wasn’t sure if they could cover

The entire surface this time.

Using too much was too extravagant, and he wasn’t willing to experiment right now.

After making sure everything was satisfactory, he called Hong Yuye in.

Hong Yuye stood beside the tub and reached out to stir the water with her slender finger.

After making sure it was up to her satisfaction, she set up the folding screen.

“Turn around, and don’t look here.”

Jiang Hao was taken aback. “Senior, I’ll go outside and wait.”

“And then come barging in last time?” Hong Yuye retorted.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

In the end, he could only close the door and stand with his back to the folding screen.

At this point, he felt that the effect of the Heaven’s Extinction Gu Poison would not only be ineffective, but it might also backfire.

He heard the rustle of clothes. Then, he heard her entering the tub as the water splashed.

Jiang Hao took a deep breath and began to recite a calming mantra.

“How far have you reached with the Seven Forms of Heavenly Blade?” she asked.

“The third form,” Jiang Hao said.

The faint fragrance wafted over, and he did his best not to think too much about it.

He concentrated on the mantra. It helped him a bit.

“Is there any useful information?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I’m investigating. There should be results soon,” Jiang Hao said.

“Full of lies.”

“I always remind myself of your instructions, Senior.”

“Really? Tell me, what have you done so far?”

The sound of water splashing was clear, but Jiang Hao didn’t have the mind to listen. He indeed hadn’t done anything.

Because of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl fiasco, many things had been delayed.

He had entrusted Xing to keep an eye on things during the gathering, but there hadn’t been any progress.

He needed to arrange some transactions and ask for their help in gathering more information. Or perhaps he could somehow get them to find more stone tablets.

If the nine stone tablets were combined, perhaps he could be the next Dan

Yuan.

When he didn’t respond, Hong Yuye also fell silent.

Jiang Hao waited for a long time. He thought she was about to be done. However, he didn’t sense any movements.

“Senior?”

There was no response. There was no sound of water splashing about.

Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him, he could sense that she was still here.

“Senior?” Jiang Hao raised his voice a bit.

There was still no response.

Helpless, he turned around to check.

Through the folding screen, he could vaguely see that Hong Yuye was still in the tub, but she wasn’t moving at all.

He called out a couple more times, but there was still no response.

In the end, he walked to the other side of the folding screen and found that Hong Yuye was lying by the edge of the tub with her eyes closed.

It seemed that she had fallen asleep.

This time, he didn’t rush over to her. He simply observed to make sure she was alright.

What he was certain of was that the entire water surface wasn’t covered by the Silver Moon Petals.

He could see her back.

She was really asleep.

Having learned from his previous mistake, he didn’t approach her recklessly.

After a while, he backed away and waited.

As before, he used his technique to heat the water.

A sleepless night passed in that way.

Jiang Hao had been carefully making sure the water remained hot when he finally heard the water splash in the tub again.

Then, Hong Yuye’s voice followed. “Did you cross the folding screen?”

“I wouldn’t dare,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye laughed.

After that, she emerged from the bath. She was dressed in an orange and white gown. She left the bathroom.

Jiang Hao followed her to the courtyard. There was still one peach left on the table.

After watering the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, Hong Yuye picked up the peach.

Her figure was beginning to blur.

“I won’t use your place for free. That is yours.” She left a box on the table. Then, she disappeared.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterward, the spirit beast wailed.

“My face!

Ignoring the beast, Jiang Hao approached the table and picked up the box.

He opened it. There was a blue and white pill inside. He used the daily Appraisal on it.

“Appraisal. ”
