THE CULTIVATION OF BESIDE DEVIL CULTIVATOR
144: Making a Request
Hong Yuye walked along the riverbank with Jiang Hao. He's heading towards the crowd.
There are stalls selling river lanterns.
If they wanted to remove the lantern, they would have to go there and buy it. As for the young master of the Chen family, Jiang Hao did not pay much attention to him.
He's just a little curious. The views of the people here were distorted by Hong Yuye's strength. What do people see when they look at the pavilion?
Out of curiosity, he asked Hong Yuye. However, Hong Yuye only looked at him with an ice-cold smile and did not answer anything.
He feels uncomfortable. His heart is pounding.
He approached the river and saw its shadow in the water. He sees himself as normal. It seems he was not affected.
Jiang Hao was unable to understand Hong Yuye. He did not know how he would change his appearance in the eyes of others while remaining like himself at the same time.
But it doesn't matter. At least he's safe.
He still has a lot to do. As long as he was careful, there should be no serious consequences.
A few moments later, they reached the top of the river. The area was spacious, and many people were holding river lanterns in their hands.
There are stalls selling different types of lanterns.
Hong Yuye found a place to sit and wait, while Jiang Hao picked up two lotus-shaped lanterns.
He handed one of the lanterns to Hong Yuye. “I heard from the merchant that releasing the river lanterns is a tradition where you pray and beg for blessings. Senior, do you want to make a request?”
Hong Yuye looked at the lotus-shaped lantern in his hand. She smiles. “And to whom did you make a request?”
“River god,” says Jiang Hao.
“You want me to make a wish and pray to the river god?” Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao's eyes.
He looks amused.
Jiang Hao felt helpless. “Maybe we can make a wish and pray to heaven.”
Maybe he sounds more acceptable. “What do you want?” she asked.
'Mining…'
He didn't say that out loud. He lowered his head. “Often times, I just want a quiet and peaceful life.”
“Is it not peaceful now?” Hong Yuye asked as he sat by the river.
“Under your protection, things are indeed peaceful,” said Jiang Hao. That's just part of the truth.
It was true that he was safe from formidable enemies, but he himself did not fully feel safe from Hong Yuye.
He sat down by the river and released a lantern to the surface of the river.
When it came to making a request, he felt a little lost. Memories of childhood passed through his mind. What he really cares about is his family.
Mining and cultivation was something he could accomplish on his own. He's been doing that his whole life. There is no need to make requests about those things.
Only her stepmother and her father could not refer to her. So, he wanted to meet them.
“I wonder if my stepmother will still treat me badly after seeing what I am..”.
He let go of the river lantern, and the lantern floated downstream.
Hong Yuye let go of the lantern in his hand.
Jiang Hao glanced at him. He looked quiet and calm as usual.
After which, the two of them stood up and watched the lanterns drift far downstream.
So many lanterns covered the river surface. It looks magnificent and beautiful.
“Come back,” says Hong Yuye.
Jiang Hao felt his mood was not good. He seemed to be thinking of something.
They turned around and slowly walked back to the inn. The road was crowded, and it took quite a long time to reach the inn.
After Hong Yuye returned to his room, Jiang Hao opened the door of his own room.
Jiang Hao was a bit confused. ‘Better like that. Whatever Hong Yuye wanted to do would be fatal to this city.'
As for him, he actually got quite a lot tonight. When he made a wish on the lantern, he had understood many things about her.
He remembered a world that was plentiful and then starved. He realized that natural disasters were destroying families.
Sighing, Jiang Hao sat on the bed and took out the book of Seven Heavenly Sword Forms.
After adjusting his condition, he activated the Divine ability of the Clear and Pure Heart. He felt peaceful and his mind clear. H found the answer to many of his doubts back then.
This time, he could completely comprehend the third form of the Heavenly Sword.
The next morning, Jiang Hao tiredly closed his book. The progress this time was quick.
He vaguely felt that the mastery of divine abilities became more efficient. That meant his abilities had also increased!
The pills given by Hong Yuye were very good. Whether it was pills, formations, or techniques, everything that came from him was exemplary.
But Jiang Hao felt a little regretful. He might not be able to afford such a pill.
Getting rid of the book, Jiang Hao went to the backyard to water the spirit herbs with spirit liquid. It'll sprout tomorrow. Maybe bubbles will appear too!
He then went out to buy some snacks.
On the way home, he saw the little girl from before. He held some snacks in his hand, which smelled very good.
“Small girl,” Jiang Hao called her.
The girl raised her head to look at Jiang Hao. "Yes? What can I help you with?" “Where did you buy that snack?” Jiang Hao asked.
"This?" The girl showed him the snacks in her hand. “I bought it from
Grandma Xu on the street. It was the most delicious in the entire Heavenly City of Earth.”
Jiang Hao thanked him and rushed out again.
In the little girl's eyes, Jiang Hao loved his wife very much.
Jiang Hao placed the two types of snacks in front of Hong Yuye. One looks good and tastes good, while the other is better but looks rather ordinary.
He did not know which one Hong Yuye wanted to eat.
Jiang Hao then returned to his room to start making talismans.
He made a talisman in the morning and investigated the matter with Zuo Lan in the afternoon to look for other clues.
The next day, a fragrant aroma wafted from the backyard and shocked everyone in the inn. Just inhaling it already made them feel refreshed and clear-minded.
Jiang Hao walked into the backyard and saw two green bubbles. He felt a little disappointed. [Spirit Sword +1]
[Spirit Sword +1]
They could only be sold for fourteen spirit stones.
“Clear Snow.. I did not expect she would plant it,” Bai Qiong said.
The day before, they had gone to the Heavenly Lake and found
Psychic Altar
They decided to follow Jiang Hao's advice and investigate secretly for a few days without informing the enemy.
“This spirit banquet is not easy to plant. Maybe they just planted it temporarily,” Fang Jin said in admiration.
He admired Jiang Hao for being able to take care of spirit herbs while chasing enemies.
After that, they did not pay much attention to him.
Ever since the growth of Clear Snow, Jiang Hao made his talisman in the backyard. Spirit herbs will help increase the success rate. However, he was surprised to find out that his success rate was declining!
Hong Yuye influenced him.
His state of mind was unstable, that was one of the reasons. The other reason was his constantly frightening aura that made it difficult to focus on anything else..
