Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1393  Were You Concerned About Me? (1)

The river flowed from the depths of the Cliff of Broken Hearts, through the forest, and past the wooden house.

In the past, there was life around the wooden house.

For some reason, it remained chilly these days.

It was even colder than before.

As the river passed by, its flow slowed significantly.

It was not just the river outside that was chilly. Jiang Hao, who was in the wooden house, also broke out into a cold sweat.

In his wildest dreams, he never imagined that the person before him would have such intentions.

He thought she had fallen asleep as usual, but she was only pretending.

Was she testing his state of mind?

The appraisal feedback had led to this.

Jiang Hao's brow dripped with cold sweat as she stared at Hong Yuye who was awake.

"Senior, it's a misunderstanding," he said after taking a deep breath and preparing himself.

"Misunderstanding?" Hong Yuye chuckled. "What kind of misunderstanding?"

"I can explain," Jiang Hao said immediately.

"Then, explain," Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao was stunned.

He did not know how to explain.

"Can't explain?" Hong Yuye's face turned cold, and her finger moved slightly.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure surged.

It could shatter mountains and rivers.

Jiang Hao bore the brunt of this immense pressure.

Outside the house, Xiao Li walked to the peaches with the spirit beast.

But as soon as she saw the wooden house, she heard a bang.

The house was going to have a gaping hole by the sound of it.

Xiao Li was so frightened that she hugged the spirit beast tightly.

Then, she stood on her tiptoes and looked at the wooden house.

She looked around and hesitated for a moment. Then, she left in a hurry.

"Why didn't you go over?" the spirit beast asked.

"I smelled Senior Sister's scent. She seems angry, and angry adults are very dangerous," Xiao Li said with a trembling voice. "In the past, Mother would beat me up badly when she was angry and..."

"Who else was there?" the spirit beast asked.

"And..." Xiao Li thought carefully and said, "I forgot."

"Don't be afraid. I have friends from the underworld. They respect me," said the spirit beast.

"Even if she doesn't hit you, she might hit me, I'm not going in!" said Xiao Li.

Then, she carried the spirit beast and ran away.

Jiang Hao felt the entire house shake.

There was a burning pain in his back.

Even as a True Immortal, he felt such agonizing pain.

It felt as if no Great Dao could stop this pain.

However, after taking this attack, he was safe.

At least there would not be any other consequences.

This time, it did not feel like anything in his body was being dispelled. It was pure pain.

But he was not injured.

He could not understand what went on in the minds of powerful experts. He had no intention of watching her naked body. He was just appraising her.

Hong Yuye's figure appeared in his mind.

Instinctively, he looked up.

As Hong Yuye sat up slowly, he saw more of her than before.

But before he could see more, their eyes met.

There was no emotion in her face. Her gaze was icy.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

It was truly an accident.

Boom!

There was another loud noise.

A moment later, Jiang Hao sat in front of the screen.

He touched his arm occasionally. He felt a burning pain in his arm.

It was the first time in so many years that he was sent flying repeatedly.

However, there was an image in his mind that he could not get rid of.

He could not calm himself.

Was it because of some charm technique or the poison in his body?

He should not have done it.

Facing Hong Yuye was different from facing others.

However, it was usually not difficult to forget about her.

"Why did you walk past the screen?" asked a voice from behind the screen.

"I called you a few times, but there was no response. So, I got worried," said Jiang Hao.

"So, you were concerned about me?" There was the sound of water splashing once again.

"It's my duty," Jiang Hao said.

"Was it wrong of me to attack you?" Hong Yuye asked.

"Not at all. It was my fault, after all. I shouldn't have been so rude," said Jiang Hao.

"You are quite good at admitting your mistakes. I didn't see you being so humble overseas."

"Overseas, I had to imitate someone else. Besides, people target others overseas, so I have to be on guard. But in front of you, Senior, I don't have to pretend."

Hong Yuye laughed. "You don't need to pretend in front of me? Full of lies, as always."

"I wouldn't dare," Jiang Hao said seriously.

Hong Yuye got up from the water and went behind the screen.

Jiang Hao's heart raced as he listened to her voice.

He did not know why.

Then, he heard the rustle of clothes.

A red and white figure appeared from behind the screen. She turned around and looked at him.

Her hair was wet, her eyes calm, and her red and white dress damp too.

The moment Jiang Hao saw it clearly, red energy burst forth.

Then, the water dispersed, and her wet hair suddenly swayed in the wind.

Her black hair rippled like water and made itself up into a bun.

Jiang Hao was stunned.

Hong Yuye's temperament changed too quickly. It always astonished him.

"Looks like your divine ability is a little lacking." Hong Yuye chuckled.

"I've made a fool of myself in front of you, Senior," said Jiang Hao.

Even at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, he was still discovered.

What realm did he need to be in to avoid detection in front of Hong Yuye?

"What did you just see?" Hong Yuye asked.

"I didn't see anything." Jiang Hao hurriedly shook his head.

Hong Yuye smiled a sinister smile. "The Great Era has arrived. It's time for me to do my thing. Is that okay?"
