Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 398 – You Continue to Make Things Up

Chapter 398: You Continue to Make Things Up

EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao was shocked by the sudden appearance of Hong Yuye.

Unlike other women, the one in front of him made him feel normal.

He was used to being calm and indifferent. For a moment, he was unfamiliar with those emotions.

As for the matter of marriage, he obviously denied it.

“Senior, you must be joking. She’s just a bored Senior Sister looking for something to do.”

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

At this moment, she stood under the peach tree. The tree had grown taller than her now.

“Twenty-eight,” Jiang Hao said.

He remembered that he had first met Hong Yuye nine years ago.

Nine years…

It felt a little unbelievable.

Similarly, the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison had been in his body for nine years. These nine years had been unexpectedly peaceful.

The only restless days were the days he spent with Hong Yuye. Apart from the long period they spent together outside the sect, the rest of the days they met might not even make a month if combined.

“Twenty-eight years old?” Hong Yuye felt a bit emotional.

“In a normal family, wouldn’t you have married by twenty-eight?”

“That’s for ordinary families.” Jiang Hao lowered his head respectfully. “I have been focused on cultivation and have never considered such matters.” Hong Yuye gazed at Jiang Hao.

She seemed unused to hearing truths from the person before her. She looked taken aback by his honesty.

“What’s your cultivation realm she asked.

“Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye nodded. “When will you advance?”

“It might still take some time,” Jiang Hao said.

It would take some time to advance to the Golden Core Realm.

Hong Yuye didn’t say anything further. She turned around and walked into the house.

“Prepare the water.”

‘A bath?’ Jiang Hao was surprised.

It had been a long time since the last one.

Nonetheless, he quickly entered the bathroom.

But as he was preparing the water, he suddenly froze. The Silver Moon Petals were gone.

He remembered there was still a packet left.

He searched through his storage treasure, but he couldn’t find the Silver Moon Petals anywhere.

This wasn’t good. He hadn’t rushed to buy more flowers because he thought he still had more. He remembered he still had some left.

Glancing at the closed window, Jiang Hao wondered if he could go out now to buy more in time.

He shook his head. If he went out now, he would be exposed. Going out would undoubtedly expose him.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him, and Hong Yuye entered.

She stood beside Jiang Hao and looked at the water. “Did you forget to buy the flower petals?”

“No,” said Jiang Hao. “There was an accident.”

“An accident?” Hong Yuye sneered. “What kind of accident?”

Jiang Hao remained silent.

He didn’t know what had happened.

Hong Yuye checked the water temperature and motioned for Jiang Hao to stand outside the folding screen with his back turned.

“Don’t worry. Think carefully about it. I hope you’ll figure it out before I’m done washing. Otherwise…”

Her words were followed by a cold laugh.

Jiang Hao heard her enter the tub. It seemed she had started bathing. He had expected Hong Yuye to act immediately, but the lack of action made him feel even more uneasy.

If she had made a move right away, there might not have been any issues.

Now, the situation seemed more serious.

Experts were temperamental. A slight misstep could lead to disaster.

If there wasn’t enough time, he couldn’t make himself stronger.

At this moment, he felt that nine years were too short.

If he had ninety years, perhaps he would be able to fight her.

“What are you thinking?” Hong Yuye asked suddenly.

“I’m thinking that next time, I won’t let such accidents happen,” Jiang Hao said.

“Don’t worry about that. Just focus on what the accident was,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao found himself unable to speak for a moment. He could only remain silent.

He listened to the splash of water behind him. He couldn’t think of anything.

It was as if the effects of the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison were taking hold.

Now, all he could hope for was that the person behind him would fall asleep like before. She might forget about all this after waking up.

In an instant, the image of her bare back flashed through his mind. He brushed the thought aside.

Jiang Hao stood there quietly and waited for her to fall asleep.

After a while, he suddenly felt someone behind him. He turned around. A figure dressed in red and white stood behind him and gazed at him.

“Have you figured it out?” Hong Yuye twirled her wet hair.

“Yes,” Jiang Hao said.

“What was it?” Hong Yuye changed into fresh clothes and walked out of the room.

She made her way to the second-floor balcony, and Jiang Hao followed. His mind raced as he thought.

“I’ve been busy lately with your matters, Senior.”

“What matters of mine?” Hong Yuye turned to look at Jiang Hao.

“There is going to be some progress soon on finding the owner of the stone tablets,” said Jiang Hao.

“A reasonably unexpected accident.” Hong Yuye gestured for Jiang Hao to stand beside her.

As he approached, Jiang Hao remained cautious. He wasn’t sure if Hong Yuye would attack him.

Even a clash of their auras would be impossible for him to resist.

“Tell me what you learned at the gathering,” said Hong Yuye with a smile.

Jiang Hao nodded. He told her about the Saint Bandits.

Hong Yuye had no interest in that information.

After that, he told her that those in the gathering had been asking about him. He also told her that he had volunteered to get in touch with himself so that he could avoid danger.

“You’re being followed?” she asked.

“Yes,” said Jiang Hao. “It’s because I’ve acted a bit recklessly.”

“Weren’t you always cautious in what you do?” Hong Yuye asked.

“My actions were to complete your mission as soon as possible, Senior. It was worth it,” he said.

Hong Yuye looked at him mockingly. There wasn’t an ounce of truth in that statement. However, his words were still worth listening to.

“It seems there are many surprises this time.” Hong Yuye chuckled.

Jiang Hao remained silent. He didn’t dare say too much.

It wasn’t until Hong Yuye prompted him to continue that he spoke about the events involving the Xuanyuan Clan and their dealings overseas.

Hong Yuye showed no interest in these matters.

“When is the Bright Moon Sect’s Dao Conference?” She asked as she smoothed her hair against the wind.

“I have no news about that yet. It might take some time,” said Jiang Hao. “Why don’t you take this as an opportunity to go to the Bright Moon Sect?” “I want to take care of your flower, Senior.”

In truth, he couldn’t go to the Bright Moon Sect. In the past, no one paid him any attention, but things were different now.

Xing had noticed him.

During the gathering, each person had their own designated area of focus.

Xing was in the Bright Moon Sect.

Liu was overseas.

Gui was in the Heavenly South Prefecture.

As for him, everyone knew that he was in the Hidden Cloud Prefecture. They also knew he was in contact with the Heavenly Note Sect.

So, those who were keeping an eye on things would focus here, which made him the most suitable target.

If he were to go to the Bright Moon Sect, he would draw the attention of Xing.

This would greatly increase the danger.

The Bright Moon Sect was no longer as safe as the Heavenly Note Sect unless he were to hide his identity completely. Under the moonlight, a gentle breeze rustled.

Jiang Hao remained vigilant.

He was afraid that she might make a move.

At this moment, a voice came from outside.

“Little beast, is it okay to bring something for Senior Brother Jiang to eat so late at night? Will he get angry?”

“He won’t. Master has never tasted jujubes in his entire life. He’ll be happy about this..”
