Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1669



Chapter 1669: Chapter 1378: Am I a Country Bumpkin from the Countryside?_2 Chapter 1669: Chapter 1378: Am I a Country Bumpkin from the Countryside?_2 This…

“Princess, you are too kind,” he couldn't help but exhale.

“Thank you, Senior,” Wen Xue nodded her thanks.

Being affirmed by the Senior made her very happy.

The tea was good for her, but it must have been quite ordinary for such a senior.

She didn't mind too much.

Jiang Hao sipped the tea, “Aren't you going to drink?”

“I've already had some earlier, so no more for me,” Princess Wen Xue responded.

“Did you also drink the Dew of the First Sun?” Jiang Hao inquired.

“Yes,” Wen Xue nodded.

Jiang Hao: “….”

He couldn't shake the feeling of being somewhat surpassed.

Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators are indeed terrifying.

Could it be that she is concealing her real cultivation level?

Jiang Hao glanced at Heavenly Note Sect.

They shook their head in response.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Nowadays, it was basically impossible for anyone to conceal their true cultivation level from his eyes.

But since he couldn't see through her, and it was so strange, he naturally had to consult Heavenly Note Sect.

If they hadn't seen through it either, then it wasn't a case of concealment for certain.

“Did you just advance to the Primordial Spirit Realm?” Jiang Hao asked.

“A few months ago,” Princess Wen Xue earnestly replied.

“It's not well consolidated yet, and your understanding of the Primordial Spirit Realm is somewhat incorrect,” Jiang Hao earnestly advised, “The Primordial Spirit Realm is different from the Golden Core Realm. Spiritual energy and divine senses need to echo each other for the best consolidation of cultivation.”

With that, Jiang Hao began to explain the advancement from Golden Core Realm to Primordial Spirit Realm.

Princess Wen Xue listened intently and was thoroughly engrossed.

She found that this Senior's explanations were clear and easy to understand, vastly superior to those of Princess Nan Qing by countless measures.

Even Auntie Qiao couldn't hold a candle to the person before her.

As his voice faded, Wen Xue felt her Primordial Spirit move within her, starting to resonate in response.

In just an instant, she felt her cultivation improve.

And it was in a manner she couldn't comprehend, not through cultivation, but a pure understanding of the Primordial Spirit, a recognition of the Golden Core.

She didn't dare hesitate and continued to listen quietly.

She felt that if she could remember the content of this lesson, her future path would be much easier.

Meanwhile…

Lady Bi Zhu received permission.

She could go to receive the guests.

Subsequently, she headed towards the city gate.

She informed the guard that if someone from the Heavenly Note Sect arrived, they should notify her immediately.

However, the moment she gave the instruction, she got a reply.

“People from the Heavenly Note Sect have already entered,” the guard replied.

“What?” Lady Bi Zhu was surprised, “People from the Heavenly Note Sect came? Who received them?”

“Princess Wen Xue,” the guard answered respectfully.

“Wen Xue?” Lady Bi Zhu couldn't believe it, “Why would it be sister Wen Xue? Is her status that high?”

“The Heavenly Note Sect is just a remote demon sect from the southern region; there's no need for a Prince to receive them,” the guard explained.

Lady Bi Zhu: “….”

At eighteen, I find myself at a loss for words.

Life is tough, why does the royal family have such notions?

If it wasn't an offense, it'd be fine, but if it's an offense…

If it were just a commoner, it wouldn't really matter.

“Who is the visitor?” Lady Bi Zhu inquired.

The guard shook their head.

She asked again about their appearance.

The guard still shook their head.

She asked how many people there were.

He hesitated a bit, then said, “One or two?”

Lady Bi Zhu: “…”

She had a bad feeling.

She then looked at Auntie Qiao, “Auntie Qiao, I have a bad premonition.”

“Why?” Auntie Qiao asked.

“Can't a normal person tell the difference between one person and two?” Lady Bi Zhu said with a grimace, “The visitor might be a powerful being. Let us go and see, if we can fight them then my eighteen-year-old self still has a youth to enjoy.”

“If we can't fight them, then we'll only have bitterness.”

“I thought becoming an adult was supposed to be a joyous occasion.”

“Never did I anticipate it to be the beginning of tough times,” she added.

After that, the two of them walked further inward.

They continued to ask as they went.

By the time they were chased away by a Prince near a pavilion, Lady Bi Zhu felt truly discontented.

Soon, she saw the people.

Inside the pavilion sat a man, outside of it, sister Wen Xue was sitting cross-legged, entranced by the mysterious power.

After that, she noticed another person in the pavilion.

This person… Lady Bi Zhu felt odd because even though she saw them, she couldn't remember what they looked like.

This…

She even had the feeling that she would forget them completely the moment she turned her head.

Immediately, she shifted her focus away from that person and onto the man who was lecturing on cultivation principles.

Auntie Qiao, listening from a distance, became mesmerized in a moment.

Lady Bi Zhu was also shocked.

Such understanding…

It was far more profound than her own by an indescribable measure.

That's ridiculous.

But what's important isn't the person, it's this person.

The capital is no longer peaceful.

For a moment, she just sat on the ground, quietly enduring it all.

The competition in the capital is just a minor matter, why would this person come?

He was fine, he should've stayed in the Heavenly Note Sect and not gone out.

Some time later, the sermon ended.

Princess Wen Xue took a while to regain her composure.

Just as she had regained her senses, she saw Lady Bi Zhu with a troubled frown.

She was extremely excited, “Royal sister, you might not believe me when I say this, but I feel like I'm a genius with exceptional comprehension abilities.”

“Impressive,” Lady Bi Zhu responded weakly.

Jiang Hao naturally noticed Lady Bi Zhu too, but it was somewhat surprising.

She was actually a princess from the capital.

No wonder she knew about the four-sided beast in the capital before.

Of course, he didn't really want to see her.

Wherever she was, nothing good ever happened.

It really was a disaster wherever she went.

“Lady Bi Zhu,” Jiang Hao greeted her.

“Junior brother, how did you end up here?” Lady Bi Zhu regained some composure and asked.

Jiang Hao seriously replied, “The capital invited me, so the sect sent me here.”

“Then the capital really is graced by your presence,” Lady Bi Zhu said with a smile.

“You're joking, senior sister,” Jiang Hao said softly.

Lady Bi Zhu pondered and then asked, “That thing, junior brother, did you leave anything at the sect before you came out?”

Jiang Hao knew what she was referring to, so he could only speak the truth, “It's naturally safer to keep the items with me.”

Lady Bi Zhu instinctively took a step back.

Jiang Hao: “….”

The items were still safe; there was no need for such a reaction.

Later, Jiang Hao followed them around for a bit.

Inside, there were no traces of The End of All Things, and it was unclear what these people were after in the capital.

But with Lady Bi Zhu here, it probably wasn't anything good.

Evening.

Jiang Hao and the others left.

Lady Bi Zhu felt more exhausted than she ever had before.

She quickly returned to her residence.

She just collapsed on the desk: “I thought returning to the southern region would be like returning to the warmth of home, but I was naive.”

An eighteen-year-old girl really does love to dream naive dreams.”

“Royal sister, what's wrong?” Princess Wen Xue was somewhat puzzled, “Do you know that senior? Why does he call you senior sister?”

“Because I am the number one talent of the royal family, they recognize me when I travel abroad.

Some people call me senior sister, some call me junior sister,” Lady Bi Zhu answered nonchalantly, lying on the desk.

“Shouldn't you be happy to see someone you know?” Princess Wen Xue said.

Lady Bi Zhu's brow twitched.

In theory, yes, but…

Should anything happen to that person, the capital would be gone in an instant.

Absolutely in an instant.

“Has there been any danger in the capital recently?” Lady Bi Zhu asked.

“It seems like The End of All Things might be making some moves,” Auntie Qiao replied.

Lady Bi Zhu: “….”

How did she end up with a bunch who weren't afraid of dying?

Forget it, better to rest.

As she thought this, the stone pieces vibrated slightly.

She knew a gathering was about to happen.

She was considering whether to ask Jiang Hao if he had a purpose for coming.

Might as well help out a bit.

If something went wrong, she truly might die young.

But who did Jiang Hao come with?

Was there someone with him looking for something?

Forget it, no matter.

—-

Jiang Hao and Heavenly Note Sect left the royal palace, strolling down the bustling streets under the moonlight.

Because of the competition in the capital, there were many more people around.

Some were performing magic, and others selling delicious food.

Jiang Hao even saw a stage for plays.

“Do you like watching?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

“Not really,” Jiang Hao replied, “I'm just a bit curious.”

Then he noticed a river with two streets by its bank.

Many lanterns hung above them.

“Seems like there are riddles and poetry chanting,” Heavenly Note Sect said to Jiang Hao, “You're good at that.”

“Senior is making fun of me, actually all I knew before was learned from my father, I'm not skilled myself,” Jiang Hao said, looking into the distance, “But we can go take a look.”

With that, Jiang Hao and Heavenly Note Sect walked over.

On the way, Jiang Hao suddenly remembered something and said, “The first time I went out with senior, we seemed to have come across a similar lantern festival.”

“Which one was better looking?” Heavenly Note Sect asked.

“This one, with senior not being so aloof,” Jiang Hao said.
