“Junior Sister Li-er, are you alright?”

Jiang Hong walked up to the small dragon lady and waved his hand.

Ao Yueli was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses.

Good? I couldn’t be better.

You’ve only practiced it less than three times and you’re already proficient in it. This is called good talent?

You’re clearly a monster!

Even after you discussed the Dao with me back then, you didn’t cultivate at such a monstrous speed, right?

Wait, in other words, if we discuss the Dao now, his talent will be even more monstrous.

So, should I offer my tail up now?

All kinds of complicated emotions intertwined. Ao Yueli suppressed the shock in her heart and chuckled.

“I was just shocked by Brother Hong’s talent. I didn’t expect Brother Hong to be so powerful. Hmm, as expected of my Brother Hong.”

“Junior Sister Li-er, you’re exaggerating.” Jiang Hong said humbly, “Although my innate talent is indeed not bad, right now, grasping eighty-eight blazing swords is already my limit. Compared to Senior Sister Gu, it’s far inferior. As expected, it’s just as Junior Sister said. Even if my innate talent is extraordinary, I should still step on the ground step by step.”

‘Are you sure that you are being humble and not showing off? 88 is already the limit. From what I know, there are at most 99 golden Sword Qis when cultivated to perfection.’ Ao Yueli awkwardly and politely smiled.

What made Ao Yueli want to question him even more was that he was comparing himself to that stupid girl with big breasts and no brains.

Gu Yiping cultivated the Glorious Sword Shadow Scroll. Although it was an upper-class sword technique, it was the lowest level of the upper-class sword techniques. Even if she could control 200 Sword Qis at once, it would be difficult for her to control 50 of those golden Sword Qis at once.

“Oh right, Junior Sister Li-er, can you teach me a few more cultivation techniques at once? This way, I can directly cultivate at the Misty Peak,” Jiang Hong suddenly said.

Ao Yueli raised her eyebrows and looked at him in confusion.

“Why do you want to cultivate at the Misty Peak? Can’t you just come here?”

Jiang Hong replied, “Eldest Senior Sister wants to discuss the Dao with me. I have to go to her place tomorrow.”

“Discuss the Dao?!” Ao Yueli was shocked and instantly closed the distance between them. She panted heavily and asked excitedly, “Who’s at the top and who’s at the bottom? Has she fallen?”

Jiang Hong: ???

“Are we talking about the same thing here? Speaking of which, you look quite pure, but why are you even more indecent than me…” Jiang Hong looked at Ao Yueli with a strange gaze.

Ao Yueli finally came back to her senses. She placed her hands behind her back and put on an unfathomable expression. She snorted and said, “What I mean is, don’t go. I can teach you what she can, and she can’t teach you what I can’t. You should just learn from me.”

“Well …”

To be honest, what Ao Yueli said made sense. Although Senior Sister Gu could provide attribute points to his physique, she could not enhance any of his other attributes.

On Ao Yueli’s side, not only could he increase his agility attribute points, but he could also learn new cultivation techniques. There was no need to say which side was more beneficial.

Moreover, he had not promised to go to Gu Yiping’s place everyday. Here, he just needed to say a few words to coax this little simp of his to teach him a few more moves at once.

From the looks of it, it was obvious what to do.

Senior Gu, don’t blame me for not going to your place. It’s all my fault for being too tempting.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Junior Sister Li-er.”

“No problem, no problem.” Ao Yueli placed her hands on her waist and nodded in satisfaction. “It’s getting late. You should go back and rest well today. I’m also thinking about what cultivation technique I should teach you next.”

“That’s good.”

Just like that, after Ao Yueli watched Jiang Hong leave, she urgently gathered her two retainers for an emergency meeting.

After Ao Yueli’s precise and in-depth analysis, she quickly figured out why Jiang Hong’s talent was so monstrous this time.

“It must be that big-breasted idiot who taught him the Glorious Sword Shadow Scroll first. That’s why he learned the Golden Sun Tyrannical Art so quickly. After all, the Glorious Sword Shadow Scroll is the foundation of a superior cultivation technique.”

“Hmph, gifted? Do you really think I’m that silly? And I’ll believe whatever you say? Let me tell you, I’m no longer the dragon that can be coaxed with some honeyed words.”

Ao Yueli’s lips curled up arrogantly. She was more and more impressed by how wise her decision was.

By keeping Jiang Hong by his side, not only could she prevent him from continuing to communicate with Gu Yiping, but more importantly, she was also saving her life in the process.

“Hehe, fortunately, she doesn’t have her old memories like me. Even if she still remembers, she will definitely be grateful to me. When that time comes, I’ll reluctantly accept her gratitude.”

Thinking of this, Ao Yueli could not help but smile.

…

Time flew by.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Heaven Ascension Peak, Gu Yiping’s room.

On the steps opposite the door, Gu Yiping’s expression was stiff as she sat cross-legged on the futon.

Beside her feet was a bowl of dried pigeon soup.

“He’s not here yet. It’s been three days… He’s still not here…”

Gu Yiping’s face twitched, and her chest heaved up and down.

It had been three days. Did he know how she had spent the past three days?!

Every morning, she would sit on the futon in front of the door like a husband-watching stone, waiting quietly. She would wait until the sun rose and set.

But in the end?

It had been three days, but she hadn’t even seen the demon’s fur. In the past, he had clearly arrived before dawn, but now… What was he doing?

“If he still doesn’t come, I’ll take the initiative to look for him,” Gu Yiping muttered as she stood up.

The next second, she sat back down.

“No, I can’t take the initiative to look for him. Wouldn’t that make it seem like I’m looking forward to him coming? Anyway, the women he harmed are not around now, and he can’t look for other women. What’s there to worry about?”

Gu Yiping muttered to herself… In her previous life, other than herself, there were three other women she knew who had been killed by him.

However, she wasn’t worried that Jiang Hong would attack them. After all, Jiang Hong hadn’t become a demon yet, but the main reason was that they couldn’t appear at all.

The Misty Peak’s Peak Master had yet to come out of seclusion. The Sect-Protecting Divine Beast? Heh, she was just staying at home. As for the last one, she was a young lady locked up in the Imperial Palace who could not even control her own actions.

Who else could he go to?

He definitely couldn’t find them. In the end, he had to come to her obediently.

Thinking of this, Gu Yiping felt relieved.

“Eh? Senior Sister Gu, why are you alone? Where’s Senior Brother Jiang?” The girl’s sweet and clear voice sounded.

Lin Qian’er poked her head out from behind the door.

“Why does he have to be with me?” Gu Yiping replied proudly.

“But, Senior Brother Jiang comes to the Heaven Ascension Peak every day. I thought he must be here with you, Senior Sister Gu,” Lin Qian’er muttered softly as she walked in. She had two swords on her back. She pulled one out and said, “Senior Sister Gu, my master asked me to give this to you. He said it’s a reward for you. If there’s anything inappropriate, you can…”

“Are you sure he comes to Heaven Ascension Peak every day?!”

Gu Yiping stepped forward and pressed Lin Qian’er’s shoulders tightly.

Her eyes were bloodshot and her gaze was ferocious. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she looked like she wanted to eat someone. Lin Qian’er was shocked.

This was not the Eldest Senior Sister she knew.
