Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning

Chapter 255: The Female Demon Stays Overnight and Takes a Bath

Youyun Prefecture, upstream of the Huangsha River.

Bi Zhu stood above the river, looking down.

“It seems this is the place. I wonder if I can find what I’m looking for.”

The location she had researched was here, and Jing had also given her this spot.

The time to verify everything had arrived.

“I want to see if this ‘jING’ is all talk and no action. If it’s real, I want to see how it stores the Flood Dragon. The method shouldn’t be too good.”

One can tell a lot about a person’s heritage from their methods.

She wasn’t in a hurry but followed the path downstream from the upper reaches.

“It should be around this area.”

Bi Zhu, dressed in a green fairy dress, walked through the air.

Her gaze was fixed on the river.

As she moved downstream, the rapid river gradually slowed down until she stopped at a certain area.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, her eyes narrowed in disbelief.

“Found it? How could it be so small?”

In her expectation, the Flood Dragon was enormous and even if hidden, would be easy to find.

But just now, she almost missed it.

“Can it be that only this little is left?” she wondered in confusion.

As she slowly descended, the water automatically parted, revealing the riverbed and the silt dispersed.

Finally, a purple bead appeared before her.

A bead?

With a gentle gesture, the bead came into her hand.

She quickly left the river surface and ascended to the endless sky above, examining the bead in her hand.

Now she could clearly see the Flood Dragon inside, and a faint breath was deliberately released.

If not paying attention, one would miss it.

But that wasn’t important; what mattered was the method used.

“Spatial seal? But not quite. This method is unheard of, unseen before.”

For a moment, she was shocked; the origins of “Jing” seemed to surpass her expectations.

This was not a technique that ordinary people could possess.

Even she had no knowledge of it.

“It seems he’s not just pretending to be mysterious. I need to be more cautious when dealing with him.”

After securing the Flood Dragon, she looked towards a distant village, thinking of inquiring there to perhaps learn about the situation at that time.

But there’s no need.

It might just backfire.

She quickly left, as it was time to prepare for the next gathering to complete the transaction.

......

Tianyin Sect.

Jiang Hao returned to the courtyard early.

At that moment, the rabbit was still stealthily picking peaches with Xiao Li.

“We’ve picked so many, will Senior Brother scold us?” Xiao Li was still a bit scared.

“No, the master will give Lord Rabbit some face,” the rabbit declared confidently.

“What if I get caught?”

“When that happens, just mention Lord Rabbit’s name and you’ll be fine. Friends in the road all give Lord Rabbit some face.”

“Really?”

“Truly, when has Lord Rabbit ever deceived you?”

“Don’t rabbits eat?”

“Lord Rabbit eat humans, later we’ll go... go to the field and pull up carrots to eat.”

Jiang Hao, standing at the entrance of the courtyard, was quite surprised; the rabbit was highly alert.

Every time he approached, it noticed.

Even when he didn’t emit any aura.

Indeed, it had the bearing of a great demon; it couldn’t be kept around here.

“Master, you’re back,” the rabbit called out loudly.

The call startled the thieving Xiao Li, causing her hands to tremble and two peaches to fall to the ground.

“Se... Senior Brother.”

She said, picking up the peaches and bowing her head in fear like a child caught doing something wrong.

Observing that Xiao Li seemed much better, Jiang Hao asked,

“Are the peaches sweet?”

“Sweet,” Xiao Li nodded subconsciously.

Indeed too sweet, and afterward, Jiang Hao let Xiao Li continue picking.

This time she picked happily.

When only three peaches were left, Jiang Hao told Xiao Li to go back.

She bounded away, biting into a peach.

After watching Xiao Li leave, Jiang Hao returned to the courtyard.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw the rabbit hanging on the wall, bruised and battered, life and death unknown.

“What is the identity of your Junior Sister?”

A crisp voice rang out from the side, pleasant to the ear.

Though the tone was flat, it demanded full attention.

Turning his head, he saw Hong Yuye dressed in a red and white fairy dress with a simple bun, her hair tips swaying gently at waist length.

At that moment, she took a bite of a peach.

Seeing Hong Yuye eating fruit, Jiang Hao felt as if his mind was struck.

He actually found Hong Yuye especially pleasing at that moment.

A charm technique?

For a moment, Jiang Hao felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, because he could resist everyone’s charm techniques, except for Hong Yuye’s.

The Tianjue Gu poison was ineffective against Hong Yuye.

“It’s sweet,” Hong Yuye said, looking at Jiang Hao with a hint of pity.

“It seems you were wrong again.”

Instantly, Jiang Hao steadied his mind and looked down,

“Maybe there was just one sweet one, and senior happened to eat it.”

“Tell me about your Junior Sister, do you know what she is?”

Hong Yuye sat on a wooden chair, taking another light bite of the peach.

“Does senior know?” Jiang Hao countered.

As his words fell, a tremendous force surged.

With a bang, Jiang Hao was slammed against the wall.

It was slightly painful.

“I’m asking you, not the other way around,” Hong Yuye said flatly.

Not in pain, Jiang Hao took a deep breath and stood up straight before speaking:

“Junior Sister Xiao Li is of the dragon race.”

“Do you know what kind of dragon she is?” Hong Yuye asked again.

“I do not know,” Jiang Hao shook his head.

“Tell me how she joined your sect,” Hong Yuye continued to inquire.

Jiang Hao could only explain how Xiao Li was initiated into the sect; there was nothing much to hide except for the matter of appraisal.

“So it was you who initiated her, no wonder...” Hong Yuye chuckled.

“This is a young dragon, she will be good to whoever is good to her. You gave her a meal, and she will always remember that.”

“Are dragons really that weak?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye gave Jiang Hao a meaningful look and then laughed.

“Didn’t you see for yourself?”

That was because Xiao Li had lost her memory and her strength, Jiang Hao felt somewhat helpless.

He had hoped to learn something from Hong Yuye.

“Eat the last peach,” Hong Yuye pointed to the peach tree and continued:

“Can you undergo nirvana today?”

“Yes,” Jiang Hao nodded.

It just so happened that he was also planning to undergo nirvana today.

After eating the peach, he began to arrange the spirit stones.

Fourteen thousand seven hundred spirit stones, just like that, gone.

Only less than three thousand remain.

Afterward, Hong Yuye sat on a wooden chair, watching the last peach absorb all the nutrients and spiritual energy.

After midnight, the peach tree withered.

At dawn, the fruit fell to the ground.

The entire tree turned to ashes, burying the fruit.

“Almost done,” Jiang Hao, who had waited all night, spoke up.

He hadn’t expected Hong Yuye to actually spend another night at his place.

“What’s next?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao went over to retrieve the seed and planted it again:

“Plant it, water it, and after six days, it should sprout again, starting a new cycle.”

“That’s it?” Hong Yuye asked.

“That’s it,” Jiang Hao nodded.

Although it was just watering, indeed, that was all that was needed.

Hong Yuye stood up and walked inside:

“Prepare hot water; I want to take a bath.”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao felt a twinge of pain in his back.

But he dared not refuse.

“Oh, right,” Hong Yuye suddenly stopped and said.

“Use your divine ability again, the one from before.”

Before? Daily Appraisal?
