Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 217 - The Female Demon Loses Her Breath

“Senior, it’s ready,” Jiang Hao said as he stepped out to inform the lady in the hall.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yuye got up and slowly walked into the room.

“Stand guard outside.”

Hearing that he was to stay outside,

Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Not being inside meant he wouldn’t have to listen to the sound of water and imagine Hong Yuye’s movements, which would have been a torment for him.

He would have had the urge to turn his head and check on her.

This way, he could avoid such an awkward situation.

Afterward, he stood by the door waiting and took the opportunity to examine a set of premium six-character talismans.

He wanted to learn the Hundred Thousand Divine Sword Talisman; having been humiliated several times for not having this talisman, it was time to produce one.

There was a valid reason for it.

However, the materials for the last three talismans of the premium set were quite expensive.

A stack cost a hundred spirit stones, with a selling price of around sixty.

The first three talismans were the Healing Talisman, Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman, and Earthquake Talisman.

The Earthquake Talisman could make the surrounding land tremble, but it wasn’t very effective, and he had hardly ever made it.

The last three were the Hundred Thousand Divine Sword Talisman, the Earth Breaking Talisman, and the Force Repelling Talisman.

The Hundred Thousand Divine Sword Talisman was an advanced version of the Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman, the Earth Breaking Talisman was an advanced version of the Earthquake Talisman – not just causing tremors but also making the ground collapse and break apart.

The Force Repelling Talisman was a defensive talisman, especially good at dissipating physical impacts.

In Jiang Hao’s opinion, the Hundred Thousand Swords Talisman was the easiest to sell, while the latter two were more niche.

Therefore, he decided to learn the Hundred Thousand Divine Sword Talisman first and study the other two later to see if they would sell well.

With his decision made, Jiang Hao sat down cross-legged and began to meditate with a clear heart and pure mind.

He became so engrossed that he lost track of time until he came to his senses in the middle of the night, having finished his meditation.

He looked outside and realized it might be past midnight.

“The rabbit hasn’t come back today?” Jiang Hao was surprised.

But as he got up, he unexpectedly found himself in front of the bathroom.

It was then that he realized Hong Yuye had come to take a bath.

But...

It was so late, and she still hadn’t finished?

Puzzled, he knocked on the door. “Senior?”

There was no response.

He knocked again, this time much harder.

“Senior, are you in there?”

Still no response.

Hesitating, he spoke up again.

“Senior, I’m coming in.”

Creak!

Jiang Hao slowly opened the door, then peeked inside, and was immediately startled.

There was indeed a woman in the tub, but no one had answered the door.

“Senior?” he called out again.

Seeing no reaction, he stepped inside.

Hong Yuye’s strength was such that he couldn’t discern her aura.

But this time was different; looking at her now, she appeared to have no aura at all, as if completely silent.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Hao approached.

Only Hong Yuye’s shoulders were above the water, the rest covered by petals.

The silver moon petals were different from before, blooming like flowers over the surface of the water.

But Jiang Hao only dared to glance briefly, not daring to observe further.

“Senior?”

As he got closer, he noticed Hong Yuye’s eyes were closed, and he couldn’t sense any breath from her.

Surprised, he moved to the edge of the tub, reaching out towards the woman’s neck in front of him, intending to check if her carotid artery was still pulsing.

Just as his hand was about to touch her, Hong Yuye suddenly turned her head to face him, her eyes slowly opening.

Their eyes met.

“Senior, I can explain,” Jiang Hao said with a bitter tone.

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao was sent flying like a gust of wind, slamming into the wall.

A burning pain spread from his back throughout his body.

For a moment, Jiang Hao lay on the ground, feeling an intense pain.

This was real pain, worse than anything he had experienced in the past four years combined.

“Close the door, turn your back to me, and use your magic to heat the tub,” came Hong Yuye’s calm voice.

Jiang Hao dared not refuse and could only rise with difficulty.

After closing the door, he sat cross-legged, extending the power of his technique from the ground to the wooden barrel behind him.

Only then did Hong Yuye continue to speak.

“You really are bold.”

“Senior, this is truly a misunderstanding.”

Jiang Hao said, enduring the pain.

“What kind of misunderstanding?” Hong Yuye’s voice was calm.

At that moment, Jiang Hao heard the sound of water.

He thought again of the image of Hong Yuye dousing her body with water.

After steadying his mind, he explained:

“Senior hadn’t come out for a long time, and I was worried, so I came in to check. I called out to senior several times without getting a response, so...”

“So you thought I was dead?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I had no such intention,” Jiang Hao said awkwardly.

At that time, he indeed had such thoughts; according to the breath, it did seem likely.

However, he could never see through Hong Yuye’s breath, and the reason he thought so was that Hong Yuye had not reacted when he entered, which was unusual.

“A few days ago, someone locked onto the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and then disappeared. Was it you, senior, who took action?”

Jiang Hao began to change the subject.

“That’s something you’ll have to ask your sect about,” Hong Yuye replied casually.

Jiang Hao couldn’t inquire further, but he also didn’t know how strong the twelve meridian Master were.

The sound of water came again.

“Next time, one portion of the silver moon petals will suffice; two is too much,” Hong Yuye instructed.

“Yes,” Jiang Hao replied.

He was unaware that silver moon petals could bloom.

At first, he thought it wasn’t enough, only to realize later that he had wasted a portion.

The sound of water came again, signaling the end of a bath.

Sure enough, Jiang Hao heard the sound of bare feet stepping on the ground.

“What are you listening to?”

Hong Yuye’s crisp questioning voice startled Jiang Hao.

“Nothing,” Jiang Hao steadied his mind and said.

At that moment, Hong Yuye walked past him, already dressed in a red fairy dress, barefoot.

As she passed, Jiang Hao could smell her unique, subtle fragrance.

He exhaled and calmed down before following her out.

“Do you still remember what you just saw?”

Hong Yuye asked as they left.

“I didn’t see anything, senior,” Jiang Hao replied.

With too many silver moon petals, indeed, he saw nothing.

“What if you did see? Do you think I should gouge out your eyes?”

Hong Yuye turned and asked with a smile.

Before Jiang Hao could reply, Hong Yuye scoffed

“Don’t worry, I won’t. It would be different, but you would certainly wish I had.”

Jiang Hao bowed his head, not daring to speak.
