Chapter 568: Matters of Interest to the Demoness

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After discussing the Abyssal Dragon Pearl, Hong Yuye fell silent.

She sat quietly and occasionally glanced at the courtyard.

The balcony had expanded now, and it was more spacious to sit there. It offered a better view. The river outside was visible, and the starry sky looked like a beautiful scene right before their eyes.

It felt that even speaking loudly would disturb the peace.

Jiang Hao, who was sitting across from Hong Yuye, was deep in thought while sipping his tea.

He still had Azure Red tea.

After a while, Jiang Hao was sure that the contents of the gathering didn’t pique Hong Yuye’s interest.

Regardless of whether it was about the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart or the origin of the Saint Bandits.

He continued sipping tea and waited for her to leave.

An hour had passed since leaving the mountain gate. He needed to bring a gift when he went back.

While he was contemplating what to bring, Hong Yuye suddenly spoke up.

“Have you met King Hai Luo?”

Though puzzled by the question, Jiang Hao nodded. “Yes.” “Did he go to the Abyssal Sea?” Hong Yuye asked.

“No.” Jiang Hao shook his head.

Seeing that Hong Yuye didn’t want to ask anything further, he seemed to understand why she asked about King Hai Luo.

“I found out the reason he came to the Heavenly Note Sect,” he said.

“And the reason?” Hong Yuye asked.

“The reason he came to the Heavenly Note Sect was to enter the Lawless Tower, and the main reason for entering the tower was because of Miao Anxian,” Jiang Hao said. “It is said that the Lawless Tower can suppress his luck, and Miao Anxian vied for his King’s Fortune, so there is a certain possibility that King Hai Luo’s fortune might be bestowed upon Miao Anxian in the Abyssal Sea. Perhaps he believes that if Miao Anxian possesses his luck, she can survive.”

“So, you’re saying he believes Miao Anxian is still alive?” Hong Yuye asked.

“I don’t know,” Jiang Hao said truthfully, then proceeded to ask what he had wanted to ask for a long time. “What do you think King’s Fortune is?”

This question had puzzled him for a long time, but he never knew how to ask it.

It was even inappropriate to ask others.

It would be troublesome to ask at the gathering. It could easily make him appear ignorant.

He couldn’t ask Gui and the others either.

What he feared most was that they all knew, and no matter how he tried to ask, it would be futile.

They might even turn the question back on him, and then…

It would truly be shooting oneself in the foot.

Hong Yuye looked at him for a moment and gently said, “It’s similar to the royal family but different. King’s Fortune is the power bestowed upon an individual by the sea, while the royal family shares power as a group. In the sea, King’s Fortune can greatly enhance an individual’s cultivation speed and personal strength. Let’s hypothetically consider your Sect Master. If she had King’s Fortune and was overseas, then ten of her previous selves combined would not be a match for her.”

‘King Hai Luo is that powerful?’ Jiang Hao was shocked.

“So, is it easy to obtain King’s Fortune?” he asked.

Hong Yuye gave him a glance and calmly said, “Is it easy to become a member of the royal clan?”

Jiang Hao understood that becoming a Heavenly King was indeed not easy.

It was no wonder King Hai Luo still was in the middle stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, but he could still maintain his position as the Heavenly King when he returned.

However, his cultivation was lower, and he was not as stable as before.

“Are you saying that once King’s Fortune is given away, King Hai Luo won’t be a Heavenly King anymore?” Jiang Hao was alarmed. “Is it worth it?”

Hong Yuye chuckled and sipped her tea.

Jiang Hao didn’t dwell on it any longer.

Whether it was worth it or not depended on how King Hai Luo viewed it. He didn’t want to get involved in such matters, as it could easily bring trouble upon himself. This was particularly true for matters concerning Shang An. However, he didn’t know where he was now and whether he was heading toward the Heavenly Note Sect.

Regardless, he still needed to face Shang An.

Judging from his personality, there was no danger.

He still didn’t want to see him.

Suddenly, it drizzled.

This surprised Jiang Hao, but he quickly used his techniques to shield himself from the rain.

However, he was a little late, and the rain had already fallen on Hong Yuye.

Even her teacup had caught some raindrops.

She placed the teacup on the table and raised her hand.

Jiang Hao’s heart skipped a beat. He knew he would be sent flying back. He wouldn’t be able to escape.

But Hong Yuye simply patted her clothes and adjusted her hair.

It was different from what Jiang Hao had expected. It made him feel uneasy. “What are you thinking about?” Hong Yuye asked as she held her teacup.

“I was wondering why it’s raining today,” Jiang Hao said.

“Because someone is attempting to attack your sect,” said Hong Yuye casually.

“Attack?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“You just said that the Fallen Immortal Clan has a grudge against the Xuanyuan Clan. Now that the Xuanyuan Clan is about to rise again, how could the Fallen Immortal Clan let it go?” Hong Yuye asked.

“This rain is an attack?” Jiang Hao asked.

Hong Yuye remained silent.

He quietly took a pun and placed it outside to collect the rainwater.

Afterward, the two of them stayed silent, only listening to the sound of rain and sipping their tea.

It was only when the teapot was emptied that Hong Yuye slowly withdrew her hand holding the cup.

She lowered her head and looked at the teacup for a long while before fading away.

“My flower hasn’t changed for a long time.”

Jiang Hao looked at the teapot quietly put it away, and then took the cup that was placed outside.

He appraised it.

Since Hong Yuye mentioned it was an attack, then it must be an attack.

He couldn’t understand it, probably due to the vast difference in realms and abilities. Since that was the case, he would compensate with his divine abilities. [Fallen Spirit Rain: Prelude to the Ancient Cloud Fallen Spirit Curse. After being contaminated, it will hide in the body. Once it resonates with the interlude, it will reverse the blood and spiritual energy. It can be burned to ashes with the fire of blood essence.]

Jiang Hao was quite surprised. Then, he circulated his blood and spiritual energy, and an invisible fire ignited within him.

There was no sensation, but he should be fine now.

Glancing down at the beast, he realized it hadn’t been drenched in the rain. It put his mind at ease.

As for Lin Zhi and the others, they should all be resting in their rooms at this time.

Even if Xiao Li ran around, it wouldn’t matter. Being a dragon, her blood and spiritual energy surpassed that of ordinary people.

Despite her childlike appearance, she was a True Dragon.

After that, he left his accommodation and headed toward the mountain gate.

He had a feeling that he might encounter quite a few things in the coming days.

He also needed to be cautious of Gui’s arrival. She would definitely be in disguise.

He had to be cautious.

At the mountain gate, Jiang Hao gave a Heavenly Sword Talisman to the others to express his apology.

He also explained the reason for his absence. He made an excuse that his spirit pet was injured.

This time, the beast was truly injured.

Nan Yushu and the others accepted the talisman and smiled.

For their cultivation realm, this talisman was like a useless item, but it could be sold for money.

“Why did it suddenly rain today? It feels a bit unusual,” Kong Hu said. Xia Cun shook his head. He didn’t feel anything was off about the rain..
