The moment he saw the other person, Jiang Hao's originally calm heart suddenly rippled.
It was not out of a desire to see the woman before him, but rather because his psyche had finally returned to normal.
Viewed this way, the other half of the gu poison was on her.
The newcomer was none other than the woman who had spent a night with him before.
The other person's beauty truly surpassed anyone he had ever seen.
Regarding her figure: add an inch and she would be too tall, reduce an inch and she would be too short; apply powder and she would be too white, apply rouge and she would be too red; her brows were like kingfisher feathers, her skin like white snow, her waist like a bound silk, her teeth like melon seeds.
Seeing her again, under close observation, this was the only verse Jiang Hao could recall.
"It seems you don't quite remember me." Hong Yuye suddenly raised her head to look at the man in front of the house.
Her eyes were like frost, her demeanor icy.
"I wouldn't dare." Jiang Hao lowered his head and said respectfully:
"Senior honors us with her presence, this junior is terrified."
"Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, it seems your advancement went very smoothly." Hong Yuye stood in the light and casually blurted out Jiang Hao's secret.
This panicked Jiang Hao.
When he first met this person, he was at the Qi Refining Ninth Stage.
Now, about three months later, he had not only reached Foundation Establishment, but had even advanced to the middle stage.
If the other person dug into the root of it, he would be finished.
Moreover, with the Primordial Chaos Purple Qi serving as cover, how had she sensed it?
"Are you confused?" Hong Yuye stared at the man before her with disdain:
"Cultivation can be concealed, but the body is very honest-the speed at which your power circulates, the intensity of your breathing, the expansion of your spirit.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you entered the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage long ago.
Of course, your physical body and spirit were already superior to ordinary people, but even being superior has limits; by synthesizing everything else, your cultivation can be guessed.
More importantly, you advanced right under my nose. Do you think I'm blind?"
Jiang Hao was left speechless.
Concealing cultivation apparently required such trouble.
It seemed he needed to study this during the upcoming period.
However, he was somewhat worried about the intention of the woman before him, especially since she had been standing right beside the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
That made him even more worried.
Fortunately, the other person did not seem to have any intention of getting to the bottom of it.
Unfortunately, the other person might genuinely be interested in the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
"Does Senior have any instructions for visiting this time?" Jiang Hao asked cautiously.
Hearing this, Hong Yuye lowered her gaze to glance at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower:
"You planted this?"
"Yes." Jiang Hao nodded and said calmly:
"Just some small trinket."
"How did you plant it?" Hong Yuye asked again.
"Water it with a bowl every day." Jiang Hao answered truthfully.
Hong Yuye found it somewhat hard to believe:
"Just like that?"
"Just like that." Jiang Hao nodded.
Although it sounded a bit simple and somewhat unbelievable, he really was telling the truth.
After a long silence, Hong Yuye squatted down and gently touched the tender sprout, saying expressionlessly:
"This plant is quite fragrant. When it grows up, I'm going to take it away. Do you have any objections?"
"Senior, this..." Jiang Hao intended to refuse.
Only, before his words could finish, Hong Yuye raised her head and let out a cold snort: "Hm?"
"N-no objections for now." Jiang Hao replied.
Yet the moment his words fell, a powerful force suddenly swept across, majestic and heaven-shaking, as though it could obliterate everything.
With a bang, Jiang Hao was knocked back and nearly lost his footing.
At this moment, he spoke again:
"No objections."
Such a huge momentum, yet it caused only this little bit of damage, which meant the other person did not want to kill him, but she could not be defied.
Just how strong was she? Jiang Hao was inwardly shocked.
Seeing that Jiang Hao's words were agreeable, Hong Yuye stopped attacking.
She merely withdrew her gaze to look at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower:
"This flower is mine. Take good care of it from now on."
"The flower? When will Senior come to take it away?" Jiang Hao asked.
"When it blooms and bears fruit," Hong Yuye said evenly.
Her voice was exceptionally pleasant to the ear; regardless of whether it was laced with emotion, to Jiang Hao it felt like a spring breeze brushing over him.
What a pity, she was a robber, Jiang Hao sighed.
As for Hong Yuye's answer, it made him feel much more at ease.
After all, who knew how long it would be before the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower matured, which meant he had plenty of time.
That way he wouldn't have to worry about losing the flower and being punished-though Elder Bai Zhi's original intention was for him to fish with it.
Fishing?
Jiang Hao suddenly remembered: how could something so extraordinary be brought out for fishing? Back then he had guessed it was meant to fish for someone unusual.
Then...
wasn't it this woman right in front of him?
Both her beauty and her strength were utterly peerless.
Perhaps the Heavenly Sound Sect's purpose was precisely to fish her out.
For a moment he didn't dare say anything, and could only pretend he hadn't thought of it.
Hong Yuye stood up, walked into the room, and sat down, leaving Jiang Hao to stand aside and await orders.
"I won't let you help for nothing." With those words, a piece of paper appeared on the table, and Hong Yuye said flatly:
"This is an array diagram. You don't need much attainment; just set it up according to what's on it. It can help you isolate the dissipation of spiritual qi, and with that flower there, it will help you boost your spiritual qi quite a bit, which is beneficial to your cultivation."
Jiang Hao was somewhat tempted. He had also wanted to do this recently; otherwise, it was easy to attract trouble.
As for those traitors, they wouldn't make a move in the short term, and he didn't know why.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hao suddenly remembered his Divine Ability. If he appraised the person before him, would he be able to know the specific situation?
Yet the other person was too strong, and he worried about being discovered.
Hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hao still chose to appraise.
Soon the Divine Ability activated, and then he received feedback, only the result left him dumbfounded.
[???]
Jiang Hao: "???"
"Do you have any questions?" Hong Yuye said coldly.
"No, thank you Senior." Jiang Hao quickly spoke, taking the opportunity to mask the shock in his heart.
Before you continue
