Chapter 498: The Demoness Sleeps On His Bed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The second floor of the wooden house had very simple decorations, but everything necessary was present. It was also quite spacious.

At that moment, Jiang Hao stood at the door and watched Hong Yuye reading the words on the invitation card.

He didn’t care.

As for the fact that the card was discovered and the seal broken, it wasn’t surprising. The seal couldn’t protect the sealed item from someone with a powerful cultivation.

“Do you want to be a prince consort?” Hong Yuye asked indifferently.

“Senior, you must be joking.” Jiang Hao shook his head. “This is a senior’s invitation. He didn’t need it, so he gave it to me to… sell.”

“Sell?” Hong Yuve was surprised.

Jiang Hao nodded.

Hong Yuye looked at Jiang Hao for a long while before turning away.

“How old are you this year?

“Almost thirty-two,” Jiang Hao said.

“I suppose in the normal world, a person at thirty-two would be considered old, right?”

“Perhaps.”

For ordinary non-cultivators, families would arrange their children’s marriage by their early twenties because they didn’t live that long.

Thirty-two years old was indeed considered old. Most people would be too overworked by that age and didn’t have many good years in life left.

The existence of immortals did not make their lives better.

The only way to live a good life was if there was an immortal in the family. However, such families were rare.

Sometimes he wondered why his stepmother had lied and sold him to the Heavenly Note Sect.

She could have just explained the significance to him. If she had said, “Go there, and you won’t starve,” he would’ve gone willingly. He might have even thanked her and found a way to repay her.

Instead, she had lied and sold him to the sect.

In the end, Jiang Hao figured that she needed the money, and she might not have had enough confidence in him that he would survive in a demonic sect.

But what about his father?

He rarely saw his father in his childhood, so he didn’t know how his father actually was.

His father probably just went along with his stepmother’s decisions.

“Do you also want to find a partner?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao lowered his head. ‘Do I want to?’

When he set aside the fact that he was an immortal disciple and wanted to get stronger and thought about it from an ordinary person’s point of view, it was practical for him to get married at this age. But…

‘Was it even useful?’

He was poisoned by the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison. Until he was cured of that poison, he felt nothing toward other women, except the one who had the Yin Gu Poison.

And that woman was right in front of him.

If she got angry, he couldn’t even find a place to bury himself.

“I don’t want to,” Jiang Hao said.

Hong Yuye stood up and handed the invitation back to Jiang Hao.

Then, she went downstairs.

Jiang Hao took the invitation and followed her downstairs.

“The southern royal family is recognized by the southern region. The invitation is created using the power of the whole land. The more you carry it, the more you will be marked by the land and catch the attention of the royal family,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao once again applied the seal to the invitation. That should make it safe.

In front of the bathroom, Hong Yuye stood at the door and slowly closed it.

Jiang Hao, who had wanted to follow her in, was stunned at himself.

It seemed that he was still not used to it.

When he came back to his senses, he was a little relieved. At least, he didn’t have to endure the torture.

“Stand guard outside,” said a voice from inside.

Jiang Hao could only nod in agreement.

After that, he planned to read for a bit and have some tea.

He went to the courtyard to find a teapot and discovered that there was still some tea inside. It was steaming hot.

He understood that Hong Yuye had brewed it.

After all, her teacup was on the table.

He took the teacup and the pot and walked to the front of the bathroom. He then poured himself a cup of tea.

The fragrance of the tea was refreshing, and it seemed to invigorate both his body and mind.

After a sip, he felt that the taste was familiar.

As the tea washed over his body, it seemed like all the problems after his advancement were starting to dissipate and everything was rejuvenating.

“September Spring?”

Jiang Hao was shocked. Then, he switched to a larger cup and poured all the tea into it.

He downed it in one gulp.

After finishing the tea, he began to absorb the power of the tea leaves.

Not only could this help him restore his optimal state, but it could also enhance his cultivation.

It could improve his control over spiritual energy to some extent too.

Indeed, the tea leaves that cost twenty thousand were extraordinary.

In the bathroom, Hong Yuye cleaned herself and lay on the side of the tub. She looked at the door.

Her beautiful eyes looked calm and revealed nothing of her thoughts.

After a while, she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

She didn’t know how long had passed, but she slowly opened her eyes and met the gaze of a man.

She could see clearly that his gaze involuntarily shifted downward.

Boom!

She sent him flying.

There was a loud impact.

Jiang Hao winced in pain. Hong Yuye covered her chest with her hands and closed her eyes again. “Turn your back to the screen and stand guard.” She fell asleep once more.

Jiang Hao stood up. He looked flustered.

This was the second time today that he had approached her when there was no response from her. The first time, he had sensed nothing of her aura until he went up to see her reading the invitation card.

The second time was when he had not sensed her presence and she hadn’t responded to his calls, so he had come in to check on her.

Unexpectedly, she woke up and their eyes met.

He had seen something that he couldn’t forget. He tried to not think about it, but he couldnt.

His mental state was still not steady enough.

Otherwise, all women should have been the same in his eyes, regardless of whether they were wearing fine clothes or simple ones, or whether they were wearing anything at all. They would all be equal in his eyes.

In fact, under the influence of the Heaven Extinction Gu Poison, he had remained calm, except when it came to Hong Yuye.

He felt a bit lost.

After drinking the tea, he had already returned to his peak state.

It was already late at night, so he walked in cautiously.

Hong Yuye had been in the water for too long.

“Senior, why don’t you go to bed? It’s late,” Jiang Hao said kindly with his back to the screen.

There was no response from behind him.

It was only after a while that the sound of water splashing started again.

After a while, Hong Yuye, dressed in simple clothes, walked past Jiang Hao.

She went straight to the second floor.

After a while, Jiang Hao looked at Hong Yuye who was lying in his bed. He felt flustered.

He had suggested that she go to bed to imply that she should head back to her place.

He needed to collect the bubbles in the Spirit Herb Garden and prepare for tomorrow’s bubbles.

Moreover, the spirit beast had been hanging for a day from the tree, and he didn’t know if it could survive.

But Hong Yuye had come up to sleep on his bed. He hadn’t expected that.

Helplessly, he could only go to the balcony.

The Mountain Suppression Technique and the Moon-Slaying Technique needed to be replaced in his wrist guards.

He also needed to check in on the Reappearance of the Hidden Spirit Technique.

Unknowingly, it was already dawn.

Jiang Hao sighed in relief. Everything had been replaced.

“How much do you know about the royal family?” asked a voice from behind him.

It was Hong Yuye, who had changed into a new outfit.

The simple dress had turned into a red and white gown, and her hair was tied up in a simple bun. There was no trace of sleepiness in her eyes.

“I don’t know much,” Jiang Hao said and stood up.

“The southern royal family is chosen by the land in the southern region. The more the land needs them, the more favor it bestows upon them. And the more prosperous and thriving the southern region becomes, the more the land will withdraw its favor, ” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao was stunned.. “What happens if the land is chaotic and desolate?”
