Chapter 533: Are You Trying to Deceive Me?

Jiang Hao wasn’t lying.

He was afflicted with the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison. He only felt desire toward the person with the other part of the same poison.

This particular person happened to be Hong Yuye.

Any other woman, besides her, just seemed like a skull with makeup on.

Hong Yuye understood this.

He explained everything.

However, she kept her head down and remained silent. Jiang Hao was unable to understand what she was feeling-

Jiang Hao worried about Xiao Li. “Senior, Xiao Li didn’t say anything offensive to you, did she?”

He remembered that Xiao Li had called her “sister-in-law” last time. He hoped Hong Yuye didn’t still remember that. If she did, it would be lethal for him.

“Do you think she did?” Hong Yuye asked calmly.

“Xiao Li is obedient and sensible, but occasionally, she is a bit impulsive because of her young age,” said Jiang Hao.

“Oh?” Hong Yuye’s brows twitched slightly. “If she did offend me, how do you think I should handle it?”

“Senior, I can’t obviously tell you what to do and what not to do,” said Jiang

Hao.

He didn’t dare to offend her.

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao.

It was torment for him to be stared at by someone this powerful. He felt that he would be reduced to ashes very soon.

“How long has Xiao Li been with you?” Hong Yuye asked.

“It’s been ten years, I suppose,” Jiang Hao said.

Xiao Li might be twenty-one this year, but her appearance hadn’t changed at all. She still looked the same as before.

“Ten years,” said Hong Yuye with some emotion.

Jiang Hao didn’t understand why she felt emotional about it.

He was thirty-two years old. It would be logical for him to feel emotional about his lost years.

But why would Hong Yuye feel emotional?

Judging by her cultivation realm, it was possible she might have lived countless years.

“It seems that Xiao Li is indeed a good child,” Hong Yuye said with a smile.

“She is a good child,” Jiang Hao said firmly.

Although he didn’t understand why Hong Yuye suddenly said that, it was still a compliment.

After that, he went to the wooden table and started making tea.

“How much do you know about the Saint Bandits?” Hong Yuye asked while drinking tea.

“They are from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe who were cast aside by the world,” said Jiang Hao.

“What else?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao remained silent for a moment. He had already mentioned everything before, except for one thing. The discovery he had made at the Sea Fog Cave.

‘Should I mention it?’

“There is a technique related to becoming a Saint Bandit from the Heavenly Spirit Tribe.”

Hong Yuye looked at him.

“It’s called Haven Lock,” said Jiang Hao. He poured himself a cup of tea and briefly explained the Heaven Lock Technique.

The technique was bizarre, and he had studied it for a long time but still couldn’t master it.

There was a vague possibility of success, but he always fell short.

He wasn’t sure what he was lacking.

Hong Yuye took a sip of her tea. “What else?”

“Besides Heaven Lock, there are some theories. These theories are shocking, and a person possesses extraordinary talent.” Jiang Hao sighed and then shared the theories he had seen.

He hadn’t fully understood these theories, and he couldn’t comprehend most of them, but he got the general idea.

“The total amount of racial talent remains unchanged?” Hong Yuye asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded.

This was a profound matter, so he didn’t delve too deep into it.

It was far beyond what he could comprehend right now.

Even if he understood it, he couldn’t do anything to prove it.

Hong Yuye just drank her tea and remained silent.

Later, Jiang Hao informed her about the gathering.

This gathering wasn’t considered an important matter. The only thing worth mentioning was that someone had already set their sights on Heaven Lock.

As for Feng Hua, it wasn’t very important right now.

He only emphasized it because Hong Yuye urged him to.

Throughout the entire conversation, Hong Yuye remained silent and just enjoyed her tea.

Jiang Hao had no choice but to drink his tea in silence.

It wasn’t until the moonlight shone brightly in the area that Hong Yuye snapped out of her thoughts.

She glanced at the person in front of her and smiled. “What kind of tea is this?” Jiang Hao was momentarily stunned. It wasn’t Red Azure tea, for sure.

“You seem to be deceiving me lately,” said Hong Yuye with a smile.

Jiang Hao broke into a cold sweat.

He stood up in fear. “Senior, I absolutely have no such intention.”

Hong Yuye just smiled and stared at him unwaveringly.

When she saw that Jiang Hao was sweating profusely, she got up and walked inside. “Go prepare the bath.”

Jiang Hao let out a sigh of relief. Hong Yuye’s unwavering stare was terrifying.

Although no aura appeared, it was still frightening.

This time, Jiang Hao stood with his back to the folding screen and listened to the water splash in the tub.

It was torment for him, especially after what he had seen last time. He kept hoping she would fall asleep, so he could check on her.

He immediately shook his head to dispel these thoughts.

As time passed, Hong Yuye’s influence on him grew even more significant.

It was not so easy to elevate one’s state of mind.

He had reached a state where he was thinking of peeping. If he lost his composure, he might do something untoward.

Could he still survive if he did that?

He needed to reflect on himself.

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

While Jiang Hao thought about how to respond, the voice sounded again. “You aren’t thinking about peeping, are you?”

“No, Senior. You’re overthinking.” Jiang Hao’s heart skipped a beat.

The sound of water suddenly stopped.

After a while, it continued again.

“What is your cultivation realm now?”

“Early stage of the Golden Core Realm,” said Jiang Hao.

“Alright,” said Hong Yuye. There were no more sounds.

To keep his mind stable, he planned to cultivate.

He couldn’t meditate for too long. He heard the water splashing once again.

Following that, a woman in a simple gown with damp hair passed by him and headed straight to the second floor.

“I’m going to rest. Bring my clothes up for me.”

Jiang Hao was surprised. Hong Yuye hadn’t finished her bath this early in the past.

He picked up the red and white gown and followed her upstairs.

Jiang Hao placed her clothes aside. “Senior, your hair isn’t dry yet,” he said.

There was no response.

“Senior?” Jiang Hao called out again.

Still, there was no response.

At this point, Hong Yuye was lying under the blanket and facing away from him.

He couldn’t see her face.

He called out to her a few more times. There was no response at all, and he hesitated.

Should he help dry her hair?

In the end, he gave up. What if she wanted to rest just like that?

If he was reckless, he would get in trouble.

Jiang Hao sighed helplessly.

He would have to change the bedding again tomorrow..
