Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 356: The Demoness Discovers Dirt On The Stone Tablet

Seeing Jiang Hao leave, Mi Lingyue was filled with fear and helplessness. No matter how much she shouted, it was futile.

“It’s no use. When he leaves, he doesn’t turn back at all. If you don’t want this to escalate, talk to him properly when he visits next time,” said Zhuang Yuzhen. “A mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator who wasn’t even born when I was ruling overseas can make us bow to him like this…” Hai Luo sighed. “Wish they would just kill me. I don’t even feel like I’m worthy of being a king anyone.

At this moment, someone in.

Heavenly King Hai Luo shrunk back into his cage.

When he saw that it was the woman in the black robe, he was infuriated. “What do you want? Was I loud? I don’t care! I can be even louder!”

A whip struck him.

“Is that all? You b*tch, haven’t you eaten enough today? You can’t even swing a whip!”

The black-robed woman glared at him and then ignored him.

Instead, she walked toward Mi Lingyue.

“I want to see him. I will do everything you ask,” Mi Lingyue said loudly.

The woman in the black robe looked at the person in front of her in disbelief. Then she glanced at the other female prisoner.

Gu Qing had already fallen into despair. She smiled bitterly. “I’ll cooperate on my own.”

“No, let me do it! Let me retrieve it! I promise there won’t be any problems,” Mi Lingyue said pleadingly.

Jiang Hao knew that there shouldn’t be any problems with the follow-up. It was just a matter of how they would handle it. However, they had to act quickly, or if Mi Lingyue abandoned her son, there would really be no way to deal with her.

Furthermore, apart from knowing what her son’s name was, Jiang Hao was clueless about anything else. He actually had no leverage over her.

Relying on unpredictability was his only strategy. They wouldn’t be able to gather more information from him if they couldn’t continue the conversation. He left them guessing.

Jiang Hao felt different from before. He was no longer complacent, but rather reflecting on the terrifying nature of weaknesses.

He could threaten others using their weaknesses, but in the future, he might be threatened by others as well.

The only solution wasn’t cutting off every weakness but becoming stronger.

He needed to become so strong that others wouldn’t be able to threaten him at all.

He would also avoid unnecessary things to prevent trouble for himself, but unexpected situations were always possible. He had to learn to accept his impulsive side.

As long as he could bear the consequences, it would be fine.

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Hao planned to continue making talismans. After returning from the Corpse Realm three months ago, he could finally settle into his previous life. Whether it was the Grand Competition, the assault on the

Heavenly Saint Sect, or even Gu Qing’s situation, they had all come to an end. Even the matter with Bai Ye could finally be put behind.

The great luck involved the Heavenly Note Sect, so he didn’t need to worry about it for now. He just needed to focus on becoming stronger.

He caught a faint floral scent as he entered his room.

He was alert but then relaxed after realizing that the familiar fragrance belonged to only one person in the world.

Sure enough, he saw a woman in a red and white dress standing at his desk. Her black hair cascaded behind her. She looked very elegant. She held a talisman brush and was writing something.

Jiang Hao didn’t dare to interrupt and could only stand quietly to the side.

After a while, Hong Yuye put down the talisman brush and looked at the talismans. “Do you know how to make talismans?”

“I know a little bit,” Jiang Hao said.

With a swish, the talisman in Hong Yuye’s hand fell in front of Jiang Hao.

“What kind of talisman is this?”

Jiang Hao picked up the talisman and examined it closely.

The intricate talisman characters were difficult to understand. However, he could grasp a bit from the strokes.

It was like he had only learned a bit on a surface level.

The more he looked, the more he felt the complexity of the strokes. Each stroke carried a distinct aura.

It was impressive.

When he looked up, it was already night. He looked around and found Hong Yuye outside on the balcony.

In the moonlight, her red and white dress stood out even more.

“Senior?” Jiang Hao called.

“Finished reading?” Hong Yuye turned to ask.

“Yes.” Jiang Hao nodded. “What kind of talisman is it?”

“This… I haven’t seen it before.”

He could actually appraise it, but he avoided using his ability in front of her.

In fact, in her presence, he preferred not to use any of his abilities unless absolutely necessary. She would notice it.

“What you know is still too little,” Hong Yuye said.

She walked into the room and sat on a wooden chair. “Bring out the stone tablet.”

Jiang Hao froze for a moment. Hong Yuye noticed it. She smiled. “Is it gone?” “Not gone… It’s here,” he said quickly.

“Is it on you?”

“Yes.”

“Bring it out then. ”

Hong Yuye’s terrifying aura surged like a wave.

Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

Then, he handed over the stone tablet to her that was covered in mud.

Hong Yuye looked stunned. “What is this? What were you doing?”

Jiang Hao couldn’t explain himself.

Bang!

A horrifying aura surged and hit Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao stood his ground despite the pain, then he wiped the dirt off the stone tablet and handed it over.

Only then did Hong Yuye accept the tablet. She took the talisman as well.

The talisman merged into the tablet, and Jiang Hao saw the characters transform into countless runes that spread throughout the tablet.

It seemed to be isolating something. It appeared to be blocking the ability of the true owner of the tablet from peering into it.

Once she finished, Hong Yuye handed the tablet back to Jiang Hao.

“Tell me about the gathering.”

Jiang Hao had long been prepared and recounted everything.

Firstly, he mentioned the Heavenly Feather Spiritual Technique.

He had thought Hong Yuye might have some opinions about it, but she didn’t seem interested at all.

Jiang Hao was curious. “Don’t you think the spiritual technique is extraordinary, Senior?”

Hong Yuye looked at him.

All Jiang Hao could see in her eyes was disdain.

Thus, Jiang Hao stopped talking about it and continued with the contents of the gathering.

He talked about the vast heaven Platform.

Hong Yuye listened quietly.

He continued talking about the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building Realm.

“The Sage’s Heart can indeed affect the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Realm, but if used properly, it can also assist in the process,” Hong Yuye finally said.

“How can it help?” Jiang Hao curiously asked.

However, Hong Yuye only smiled and didn’t answer.

Jiang Hao could only move on to the next topic. The traces of great luck that he was tasked to find. He also talked about the secret technique for finding these traces.

“This is the technique.” Jiang Hao handed over the written-down method.

Hong Yuye looked at it. “The traces of great luck do exist, but finding it is not easy. Only those heavily blessed with great luck can easily locate these places using the technique. It’s not easy for others to find them. However, the people from the Bright Moon Sect are likely just coming to take a look. They wouldn’t touch the traces of great luck for the sake of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment..”
