Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1470  Demoness: What Kind Of Love Do You Want? (2)

But he was dead.

There might have been other reasons why he was unable to recover to his peak after years of fighting.

Such a person deserved the utmost respect.

"That was for the world. It was a matter of great righteousness, not love," Hong Yuye said.

"Disciple Shang An's heart is pure. He can do anything for the sake of his love," said Jiang Hao.

He had also met another couple with a case of charming physique. They were willing to do anything for each other.

He wondered how they were doing in the present.

"Shang An went to find the Charm Goddess?" Hong Yuye asked.

"Yes, he has already set out. He mentioned heading either to the North or overseas," Jiang Hao said. "Is it easy to find the Charm Goddess?"

"Whether it's easy or not, he will find her eventually," Hong Yuye said as she looked at Jiang Hao. "Do you think they will succeed?"

"I don't think so," Jiang Hao said frankly.

"Is it because of the Charm Goddess?" Hong Yuye asked.

"Naturally… Although I don't care much about them, I still think the Charm Goddess is not worthy of Shang An," Jiang Hao said.

"Because she's too passionate?" Hong Yuye asked.

"Not just because she's passionate… she doesn't even try to restrain herself. Even if she were with Shang An, she wouldn't stop seeking out others. What kind of love is that? I've never experienced it, nor do I understand it, but I know one of the people in such a relationship might be hurt," Jiang Hao said.

"What kind of love do you want?" Hong Yuye asked casually.

"Something simple," Jiang Hao said.

"Simple?" Hong Yuye was intrigued.

"Yes, something simple with no twists and turns, no surprises, and no dramatic ups and downs," said Jiang Hao and shook his head. "But I've never really considered needing that. It's only when I see someone like Shang An that I reflect on it."

Hong Yuye nodded slightly and asked, "If Shang An ends up with the Charm Goddess, what will you do?"

"I'll wish them well," Jiang Hao said.

But he still did not think they would make it.

The outcome was uncertain, but what if it turned out well?

Maybe one day he would find out.

"Do you think having a Dao companion is good or bad?" Hong Yuye asked.

"Probably bad," Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said, "Having attachments creates weaknesses. It makes one hesitant. On the path of the Great Dao, it might create a flaw."

He was not certain, but that was how he felt.

"You seem devoted to the Dao," Hong Yuye said softly.

'It's because I want to survive.' Jiang Hao thought.

At that moment, Hong Yuye waved the book and said, "Are you planning to search for what's recorded here? If you do, make sure to collect that person's corpse; otherwise, it'll be hard to find later."

Jiang Hao nodded.

He did not have any particular plans.

But if there was a gathering, he might inform Zhang about it.

If she was available, she could take a look.

He could also sell the information to Gui, as she was someone who could enter the Dragon's Nest without issue.

Hong Yuye drank her tea, but her eyes were fixed on Jiang Hao. @@novelbin@@

"What are you looking at, Senior?" Jiang Hao felt a little uneasy.

"Do you have anything in mind that you want to do recently?" Hong Yuye asked as she set her teacup down.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said, "I want to improve my cultivation and comprehend the seventh form of the Heavenly Blade."

The Seven Forms of the Heavenly Blade held secrets.

If he could comprehend it, those secrets would be revealed.

Reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm might help understand those secrets.

Even if it did not, it would still be beneficial for strength and power.

Hong Yuye frowned slightly. "You seem to have some bad luck."

"Bad luck?" Jiang Hao was puzzled.

"It's best not to wander too far in the next few years," Hong Yuye said.

Although Jiang Hao did not understand what she meant, he could tell that she did not want anything bad to happen to him.

If he stayed here, he might be able to avoid danger.

"Also, when you begin to comprehend the seventh form of the Heavenly Blade, I need to see it immediately," Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao was surprised. "Do you need to borrow my eyes, Senior?" he asked cautiously.

Hong Yuye nodded.

"Borrowing his eyes" meant that they needed to use the One Heart Palm, and the location for linking the One Heart Palm was…

Jiang Hao looked at Hong Yuye's chest.

That part was strange. He had touched her chest before and seen it too. Those experiences had never left him calm afterward.

He did not think too much about it for fear of losing his composure.

Throughout his cultivation journey, he had learned to calm his heart and mind. But he still had little experience with such things.

"What are you thinking about?" Hong Yuye asked.

"Nothing, Senior. I was just thinking about how to use the One Heart Palm. I'm not familiar with it," Jiang Hao immediately said.

"Then, let's begin," Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao nodded. He stared at her chest and tried to control the racing of his heart. Then, he placed his hand in front of her.

The moment he touched her, he noticed the fabric of her clothes was not as thick as last time.

It was indeed a strange feeling, but he did not dare to think too much about it and began to use the One Heart Palm Technique.

Soon, Jiang Hao withdrew his hand. Perhaps due to his increased cultivation, this time he could link the One Heart Palm faster.

Hong Yuye's figure began to fade. She was about to leave.

"Remember to stay in the courtyard and water my flower," said her fading voice.

Jiang Hao did not pay much attention.

Although her words were always somewhat strange, was that not the case every time?

However, whenever he tried to start comprehending the Heavenly Blade, his mind involuntarily wandered.

He kept recalling the moment when he had linked the One Heart Palm.

...

In the South, a group of people was trekking through the mountains and searching for treasure.

The spirit beast stood on Xiao Li's shoulder and looked at the map. "Once we get over this mountain, we'll be closer to our destination."

"Let's go!" Xiao Li said excitedly.

Lin Zhi and the others followed.

Mu Yin was puzzled. Why not fly on their swords? Why walk all the way?

But he did not dare raise any doubts.

If he did, they would ask if anyone had a problem.

If everyone said they had no problem with it, then all the focus would be on the person who had raised the question in the first place.

Meanwhile, a middle-aged man stood on the head of a Black Dragon and soared through the skies.

Ao Shi, who had set off from overseas, looked up at the sky to search for his target.

But this was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Contact your people and see where that food source is," Ao Shi said to the Black Dragon.

"Senior, the number of Black Dragons who have awakened are still very few," said the young Black Dragon. "It's very difficult."

"Find it anyway," Ao Shi said.

He planned to first enter the southern region and then start a large-scale search.

As long as he got close, the item in his hand would react.

"Yes, Senior, I'll do my best to find it," said the Black Dragon and did not dare refuse him.

The one on his head was no ordinary True Dragon.

He never imagined that as soon as he woke up, he'd encounter someone like this.

He did not understand why a True Dragon would be looking for their food source.

Was it really necessary?

Could it be that a True Dragon expert and a human…

For a moment, the Black Dragon did not dare to think about it.

This would be a disgrace to the Dragon Clan, and if he said it out loud, he would be killed.

"Don't think too much. Just do your job," Ao Shi said.

He had a feeling that once he found that food source, the entire Dragon Clan would be different. Perhaps this era was destined to be theirs.

...

In the Fallen Immortal Clan, Bi Zhu was confined in a courtyard. She heaved a sigh of relief.

"At least it's not a prison cell, which means I'm not really a prisoner," she muttered.

After all, the Fallen Immortal Clan had been on the run for so long, and they had only just found some peace because of the Great Era.

Everyone was busy cultivating. All the buildings around were crude, which meant that no one was free enough to care about constructing better houses.

Given that they rarely ventured out, they likely did not need to imprison anyone.

So, there was no need to build a prison.

Bi Zhu did not know what to say.

At this moment, someone appeared outside. "Miss Bi Zhu, Elder Gu requests your presence."

Bi Zhu was surprised. Was she finally going to meet the person in charge?

She had been locked up all this time, and no one had told her why.

Since she was finally going to meet the person in charge, maybe she could have some answers.

Whether she could leave alive depended on why this person wanted to meet her.

If they wanted spirit stones, that could be easy to handle.

But if that were the case, they could just kill her and take them.

That was even more dangerous.

"Let's go," said Bi Zhu without thinking too much about it.

Luckily, she still had information on the Dragon Clan and the Corpse Clan, which could buy her some time to figure a way out.
