Chapter 657: Xiao Li: Senior Brother, This Pearl Is Too Hard To bite

The Heaven Lock came into effect.

It was an incomprehensible technique.

Jiang Hao could feel that the woman in front of him was bound by chains, but it wasn’t her body or her spirit that was locked. It was something else.

Something that couldn’t be easily described.

Jiang Hao could understand some of it but couldn’t put it into words.

The Heaven Lock could seal one’s talent and also their physical ability.

This was the first time Jiang Hao had used it, and he wasn’t sure what would happen.

Boom!

While activating the Heaven Lock, he felt an unimaginable pressure on his body. It was much more difficult than he had expected.

The Hong Meng Heart Sutra frantically circulated and tried to resist the force.

But the force pressed down on him. It almost broke the Heaven Lock Technique.

At that moment, Jiang Hao knew that if he stopped the Heaven Lock technique before it took full effect, the woman in front of him would die.

He felt the agony and his palm began to bleed.

Ran Hui saw this but didn’t dare to utter a word.

The pain lasted for a long time, and cracks began to appear on the Hong Meng Heart Sutra.

However, it still held on.

At night, when Jiang Hao felt that he had successfully sealed the woman’s talents, a sense of relief washed over him. The immense pressure disappeared, but he didn’t stop at that.

Sealing a talent was risky because there was always a chance of it leaking out. He was trying to take the talent for himself.

Purple energy surged, and the Universe in A Palm began to contract.

The Heavenly Cauldron sealed everything in the vicinity.

Soon, the purple energy enveloped the area and turned into a purple bead in Jiang Hao’s hand.

The woman had fallen into a deep sleep.

Ran Hui immediately rushed to her side.

“It’s okay,” said Jiang Hao weakly. “She’s okay. She just fainted. Her ailment should be gone now.”

Ran Hui knelt in front of Jiang Hao and bowed in gratitude.

Jiang Hao nodded. He deactivated the Heavenly Cauldron and disappeared.

When Ran Hui looked up, Jiang Hao had vanished.

After carrying his wife back to her room, he took off her veil.

She was still like how she had been before, but something had changed.

It was as if her illness had truly disappeared.

Ran Hui was relieved. He touched her cheek. ‘Have the scars faded?’

Jiang Hao had taken care of them, so they were no longer as noticeable.

After resting, Jiang Hao visited the Island Master’s mansion.

He spent some time there before leaving.

Then, he returned to Madam Gong’s mansion the next day.

With Hong Yuye, he disappeared from Chaos Stone Island.

This departure meant he wouldn’t ever return.

He didn’t even leave behind a trace.

At the same time, Ran Hui saw his wife waking up at their house. She appeared different from before.

Her cars were very faint and not as noticeable as before.

Their life was beginning to improve.

The two of them had originally planned to work on the farmland and live as best as they could.

But…

As they were about to leave their home, a group of people arrived at their doorstep.

They were from the city, and it seemed they weren’t there to cause trouble for Ran Hui and his wife. Instead, they said that the island needed a scholar, and Ran Hui had been recommended for the position.

They had already arranged everything. They just needed his consent.

Even if he refused, they were still considered residents of the city, and no one would bother them.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he was back.

The courtyard was the same as before. Nothing had changed.

As for the general situation in the sect, he would need to ask Cheng Chou about it.

He also had to check the situation in the Spirit Herb Garden as soon as possible.

It hadn’t been properly managed in the past few months, and he was worried that his Master wouldn’t allow him to stay in the garden.

This would affect him greatly.

He let go of Hong Yuye’s hand and decided to check on the spirit herbs in the courtyard.

However, Hong Yuye kept staring at him. It made him feel uneasy.

“Senior?”

Hong Yuye frowned. She seemed to be thinking about something.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly. He wasn’t sure what Hong Yuye was thinking.

She had been staring at him for the past few days. It made him feel uneasy.

“It’s been several months, but it seems my flower hasn’t changed at all,” Hong Yuye suddenly said.

Jiang Hao felt helpless. The flower wasn’t growing at all.

“Well, think about what to do,” Hong Yuye said coldly before fading away.

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

It was almost mid -November.

He had left the sect in mid-August, and the three-month deadline was fast approaching.

He needed to go to the Task Hall and submit two thousand spirit stones.

With these thoughts in mind, he took out the purple sphere.

It appeared empty.

The sealing had taken place after Heaven Lock, so he wasn’t sure if it had sealed away her talents or not.

Hong Yuye had looked at it before, but it seemed like she couldn’t see anything in there as well.

Unless one knew the Heaven Lock technique, it was hard to determine what was inside.

It was also quite a profound art to master, and Jiang Hao was far from being an expert in this field.

Currently, there was likely only one person in the world who could give him a definitive answer: the Saint Bandits.

However, he couldn’t ask for guidance from the Saint Bandits, so the only option was to appraise it.

As he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

When he went outside to check, he found that the spirit beast and Xiao Li had sneaked in to steal some peaches.

As always, the spirit beast was on high alert and immediately noticed Jiang

Hao’s presence.

“Master, you’re back!”

Xiao Li, who had been eating peaches, choked and shoved the rest of the peaches into her mouth.

She turned to look at Jiang Hao and struggled to chew. “Senior Brother.”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

He sighed and sat down in a chair under the tree.

Xiao Li looked a bit confused and moved closer to him as she held the spirit beast in front of her as a shield.

“Take a seat first and swallow whatever’s in your mouth,” Jiang Hao said calmly.

Xiao Li nodded and made an effort to swallow the Deach whole.

Jiang Hao couldn’t help but feel amazed. ‘She even swallowed the pit?’

Once Xiao Li was seated, Jiang Hao silently activated the Heavenly Cauldron. He then took out the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.

The pearl was large enough to be held with both hands.

The spirit beast jumped excitedly when it saw the pearl.

“Master, is this a gift for me? My friends did say you’d bring me a gift.” Jiang Hao handed the pearl to Xiao Li.

“This is… my gift?” Xiao Li excitedly accepted the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.

When she touched it, the pearl shimmered slightly, but there were no further changes.

“What is this?” Xiao Li asked curiously.

“Food,” Jiang Hao said.

“Food?” Xiao Li was quite surprised. She then asked, “Can I eat it?” “Go ahead.” Jiang Hao nodded.

Without a second thought, Xiao Li took the pearl and bit into it.

Crack!

There was a crisp sound. Jiang Hao was stunned.

He hadn’t expected Xiao Li to bite into the pearl. He thought she would swallow it whole.

She had bitten the dragon pearl, and it was now damaged.

However, at that moment, Xiao Li’s eyes reddened. Her lips quivered as she took out the pearl from her mouth.

A pearly white tooth fell from her mouth.

She cried. “Senior Brother Jiang, this is too hard. I don’t want to eat it anymore!”

With that, she placed the pearl on the table and refused to eat it again.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

He stared at the tooth on the table in confusion.

‘Would a dragon’s tooth fall off so easily?’

He appraised it.

[Jiang Xiao Li’s milk tooth: Genuine dragon tooth. It just dropped from Jiang Xiao Li’s mouth. She is growing and starting to lose her milk teeth.]

Jiang Hao was speechless..
