THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
143: How to Introduce a Female Devil?
In the backyard, the sky was already dark. Today outside more.
Jiang Hao had heard from the innkeeper that it was the Lantern Festival, held once every three years.
“Senior, when do you plan to leave?” She asked.
Right now, Hong Yuye was sitting in the pavilion and looking at the surrounding flowers. He was deep in his mind.
Finally, his gaze was fixed on where the Clear Snow Seed was planted.
“When will they sprout?” she asked.
“Maybe tomorrow or the day after,” said Jiang Hao. Actually, it'll happen the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day of watering, but he doesn't want to be too specific in his response.
Hong Yuye slowly stood up and looked at Jiang Hao calmly.
“How long do we plan to stay here?” she asked.
“At least nine days,” said Jiang Hao.
For nine days, he had intended to search for clues while studying the third form of the Heavenly Sword technique.
He had to prepare well to face Zuo Lan.
According to his plan, he wanted to defeat him before he advanced into the Primordial Spirit Realm. But nothing went according to plan.
Therefore, he needed to prepare adequately, just in case.
Hong Yuye did not say anything. He just walked out.
“Senior, will you see the lantern?” Jiang Hao asked as he followed.
Hong Yuye glanced at him but remained silent.
Jiang Hao was surprised. His gaze mocked him.
It seemed like Hong Yuye had another reason to come out. Watching the lanterns hovering in the sky was the right thing for him.
Jiang Hao noticed that the city was brightly lit tonight. People are busy, talking to each other, and having fun.
It reminds her of her childhood. Her stepmother, despite her shortcomings, had invited her to a similar festival.
At the time, he was too young to work. So, his father would carry him on his back.
He remembers watching fireworks. It moved his heart to the core.
During this journey, he had experienced many things that he could not understand if he remained within the sect.
The half a year he spent controlling his mind could not compare to the progress he made on his journey.
He felt as soon as he found his stepmother and father, his mind would undergo another transformation.
Can he let go at that time? He doesn't know.
But it is precisely because of ignorance that he needs to see, experience, and understand. Hiding in the sect would not yield anything to his maturity.
Only by immersing oneself in the world can one transcend it. At that moment, a pleasant sound like a bird sounded beside him.
“Do you daydream often?”
"No, of course not. I... There are so many people here tonight, so I just thought about how to guide you through the crowd, ” Jiang Hao said hurriedly.
“It is no coincidence that you met a trickster spirit creature.” Hong Yuye chuckled.
'Indeed, it wasn't a coincidence, ' Jiang Hao thought. 'That's because of the Heavenly Fragrant Dao Flower.'
Jiang Hao felt that there was no harm in raising spirit beasts. In fact, he would probably raise another if he found it somewhere. After awakening his bloodline completely, he would let go of it. The spirit beast was full of lies. Someday it would get Jiang Hao into trouble.
“What do you think is the fundamental difference between you and your spirit beast?” Hong Yuye asked as he walked along the road.
He walked a little ahead.
Although there were many people on the road, the path was always free and wide for him. It was as if the people around them were actively avoiding him.
Jiang Hao did not pay much attention to him. He wasn't surprised.
“The difference should be quite clear,” said Jiang Hao.
“Hm... think of it that way, for the sake of argument,” said Hong Yuye. He stopped in front of a mask stall.
“Senior, do you want it?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
Hong Yuye shook his head and continued walking forward. That place is very crowded. The kids ran and laughed.
“You little bastard, if you get lost, you will cry again!”
Jiang Hao watched as a young woman scolded a boy while chasing him.
'I wasn't like this when I was a kid...' Jiang Hao was unwilling to compare his childhood with happy children.
He then shook his head a little. She felt sad to compare herself to a child.
He followed Hong Yuye until they came out of the crowd and arrived at a pavilion by the river.
Lanterns wandering. Some lanterns in the river drift.
They didn't bring teapots or stoves, so they couldn't make tea here. They can only look around.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao looked at Hong Yuye. “Senior, do you want to release the river lantern?”
Hong Yuye looked at her with her beautiful eyes. His eyes mocked him. It seems to call it childish.
They just looked around the pavilion calmly. The breeze was blowing hard.
The edge of Hong Yuye's dress swayed gently in the wind.
Jiang Hao could smell a faint fragrance.
A very familiar scent made him recall the first time he felt it. 'It was the night when…'
Jiang Hao stopped himself. He was afraid to think about that night.
“How did you introduce me?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.
Jiang Hao was confused.
“Didn't you say someone asked you about me?” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao.
“How did you introduce me?”
Jiang Hao thought of the little girl who was cleaning the corridor. 'Did he hear it?'
He's sweating cold.
“I... I haven't introduced you yet,” said Jiang Hao.
He hasn't mentioned it to anyone.
“How are you planning to do it?” Hong Yuye sounded like he was mocking her again.
“Senior, what response do you think is suitable?” asked Jiang Hao.
However, questioning his back seemed to upset him. He felt a stifling power that seemed to be capable of obliterating an entire city in an instant.
Jiang Hao hurriedly spoke up.
“I will wait for them to ask again!”
His aura completely disappeared. Hong Yuye did not ask her anything more.
“Young Master Chen, look there. There is a pavilion where we can watch the river lantern.” Laughter comes from close.
Jiang Hao turned his head and saw a group of people approaching the pavilion. There was a man and a woman in front, followed by a few servants.
That woman is talking.
“Oh, there are people up there!” said the woman regretfully upon seeing Jiang Hao and Hong Yuye.
"It's so sad!"
He looked at the young man beside him, who was most likely Young Master Chen.
Jiang Hao also looked at the man. He was not an ordinary non-cultivator. He was at the fifth level Life Blood Refinement realm.
When Young Master Chen noticed Jiang Hao was staring at him, he instinctively gestured for his men to chase them away. However, when he sensed Jiang Hao's cultivation realm, he stopped his servant, turned around, and slapped the woman's face.
“You know there are people here, but you want to interrupt them?” This slap left the woman dumbfounded.
Jiang Hao sighed, feeling that these people were less attractive than the people on the street.
"Let's go." Hong Yuye moved away from the pavilion. Jiang Hao nodded and followed. “Where do you want to go next, Senior?”
“To release the river lantern,” says Hong Yuye.
Jiang Hao was silent.. 'I think he thought it was childish...'
