Chapter 626: The Seventh Day

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Hao took out two pearls to examine them.

He was eager to appraise them.

Unfortunately, Hong Yuye had been with him. He needed to figure out a way to go outside to determine the level of danger this thing posed.

If it was too dangerous, it should stay here.

He already had a Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, and adding another unidentified dangerous item would cause too many problems, especially since the other party didn’t seem very honest and showed signs of breaking the seal at any moment.

He condensed the Mountain Sea Seal and reinforced the seal with Universe in A Palm.

At that point, Jing Fengyun had already sent food to the little boy, who stubbornly refused to eat.

In the evening, he changed his mind.

“Just because I eat your food, don’t assume I’ll open this door for you or let you threaten my father.”

“Remember not to sleep too soundly tonight,” Jiang Hao said.

“Why?” The little boy was nervous.

“Because I’m going to sleep, and if you sleep too soundly, you might have a thief at your house,” Jiang Hao said casually.

The kid seemed both angry and relieved.

Jiang Hao smiled and walked over to pour a cup of tea for Hong Yuye. He intended to show her what he had found out today.

However, she rejected them as soon as he took them out.

Jiang Hao also asked Jing Fengyun about Madam Gong’s situation, but Jing Fengyun knew very little about it.

As for the situation in the Seven-Day Village, there was almost no information.

Now, they could only wait for Tian Chen to arrive and learn more from him.

On the fifth day, the weather was clear.

Jiang Hao went to the door and knocked lightly.

“What is it?” The voice from behind the door sounded a bit nervous.

“It’s time for breakfast,” Jiang Hao said.

Creak…

The door was opened, and the little boy was about to come out.

However, as soon as he saw Jiang Hao, he froze.

Their eyes met, and they stared at each other in shock.

Then, there was a scream. Bang!

The door banged shut.

“What kind of sorcery did you use?” asked the little boy from inside.

“A very frightening one,” Jiang Hao said.

After a brief chat with the little boy, he asked Jing Fengyun to prepare a meal for him.

In the past few days, Jiang Hao had not eaten a single bite, not because he didn’t want to, but mainly because Hong Yuye didn’t allow it.

“My father will be back soon, and you’ll be in big trouble if you don’t leave,” the little boy said loudly.

Jiang Hao had gone out for a walk that day.

He noticed that many people were talking about the fifth day.

In other words, everyone was waiting for the seventh day to arrive. Jiang Hao found it strange, but when he asked Hong Yuye, she didn’t have an

answer.

On the sixth day, it was partly cloudy.

In the early morning, Jiang Hao sat at the door and knocked twice.

“What is it?” said the sleepy voice of a child.

“Your father is coming back tomorrow?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Of course, and when he comes back, you bad people will be in big trouble,” the little boy said proudly.

“How old are you this year?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I’m nine years old,” the little boy said.

“Where’s your mother?” Jiang Hao asked.

“She went out, but my father will come back soon. My mother will return the day after,” the little boy said with confidence.

Jiang Hao remained silent for a moment. “Wouldn’t you like to come out for some fresh air? Tomorrow, we’re going to get a scolding from your father.

Won’t you want to watch?”

“That’s your own fault. You should have run away,” the little boy said.

Jiang Hao smiled and didn’t say anything.

At mealtime, he would exchange a few words with the little boy.

“Uncle, why do you want to be a bad person this badly?” the little boy asked.

“Why?” The child’s question stumped Jiang Hao.

“Yeah, why become a bad person? Isn’t it better to be a good person?” the little boy asked.

‘You get bullied when you’re good.’ Jiang Hao didn’t say it aloud. There was no place for good people in the Heavenly Note Sect.

He could only struggle to survive.

It wasn’t that he wanted to be a member of a demonic sect. It was just that he couldn’t adapt to life in another way.

“I want to be a good person too,” Jiang Hao said with a smile.

“Why don’t you become one, then? Why do you have to do bad things?” the little boy asked.

Jiang Hao’s eyes flickered, and he smiled. “What about you? Do you want to be a good person?”

“I don’t want to,” said the little boy. “I want to become a benevolent person.” “A benevolent person?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

“Yes. When I grow up, I want to be a benevolent person who is celebrated by the world,” the little boy said in excitement.

Jiang Hao burst into laughter. “Well then, benevolent person. It’s time to rest.

Your father will be here tomorrow.”

This time, there was no sound from inside.

Jiang Hao sat by the door and gazed at the night sky.

The moon was exceptionally bright tonight, and its silvery light was scattered like white frost.

The village was calm and peaceful, with the sounds of insects in the fields.

A gentle breeze accompanied the sounds of insects.

Time passed slowly.

Midnight marked the arrival of the seventh day.

Suddenly, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds.

The weather grew gloomy, and rain seemed imminent.

“It seems it’s going to rain on the seventh day,” Jiang Hao said as he looked at the sky.

Jing Fengyun felt that the weather was getting worse with each passing day.

Hong Yuye sipped her tea and remained silent.

In the morning, rain began to fall. However, what surprised Jiang Hao was that the rain didn’t seem to affect the villagers at all. They were already up and working in the fields.

Smoke rose from the chimneys of their homes as they prepared breakfast. Others went to their fields to do their work.

Although everything seemed the same as before, Jiang Hao sensed a change in the atmosphere.

Out of curiosity, he knocked on the little boy’s door.

However, the boy seemed disinterested.

At noon, heavy rain began to pour from the sky. Such rain was not suitable for farming, but no one in the village returned to their homes.

“Senior, look over there.” Jing Fengyun suddenly pointed to a distant mountain peak.

Jiang Hao had noticed it.

There was an aura gathering on that mountain. If he wasn’t mistaken, it was the aura of a True Dragon.

Soon, the aura descended to the base of the mountain and turned into a group of bandits.

They cheered and galloped in the rain. They brandished large knives and left a trail of desolation and devastation in their wake. Trees withered behind them, and animals decayed.

All life met an end.

In just a short time, they reached the fields.

The villagers, however, stood calmly in the rain. They showed no signs of panic and didn’t attempt to hide.

This continued until the bandits reached the first villager.

A large knife struck the villager and blood spurted out.

Laughter and cheers rang out among the bandits.

In the Chaos Stone Island, outside the valley, when the aura of the True Dragon emerged, the Island Master turned to the scarred man beside him. “The time has come. You can enter now.”

Tian Chen nodded.

As he stepped forward, the Island Master said, “I advise you to come out before the end of the first day. Otherwise, you know the consequences.”

Tian Chen lowered his head and nodded briskly.

As he walked down the passage, he trembled. It seemed like he was about to witness the most painful experience of his life..
