Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

Chapter 1187: Demoness: What Kind of Place Is the Jade Cloud Pavilion?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In October, there was a hint of autumn in the air.

A gentle breeze caressed the courtyard, swaying the peach tree leaves, and rustling the green bamboo grove.

Some spirit herbs emitted a faint fragrance.

Jiang Hao stood by the table in surprise.

It was the first time he had discovered a Black Dragon. Logically, it should be a rather important matter.

Who would have thought that Hong Yuye would just breeze past that?

He was in no hurry to ask.

He thought of the next part.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “I followed the Holy Master to the place Gu Jin mentioned.”

“Which place did he mention?” Hong Yuye gestured to Jiang Hao to make tea.

He took out some Spring September and started brewing it. “Some well-known areas in various regions. Perhaps we can find the Red Dragon there. According to my guess, Brother Ao is the Red Dragon that Gu Jin mentioned.”

“What kind of place is that?” Hong Yuye asked indifferently.

Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment and said, “Jade Cloud Pavilion.”

That place was not proper, so he thought he would be misunderstood for mentioning it.

After all, it would affect his reputation.

It was alright for Smiling San Sheng, but if he had to bear it, it would be difficult.

“Jade Cloud Pavilion?” Hong Yuye was deep in thought. “Tell me more about this place.”

Jiang Hao said, “It’s an area under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Tower. It’s said to be a gathering place for overseas intelligence. Countless talents and literati go there. They use spirit stones as capital there. The higher the status, the more spirit stones one has, and the higher the floor one can reach. Therefore, it attracts many cultivators to compete and strive to ascend to the highest floor. If you are interested, Senior, I can take you there next time.”

He explained seriously and poured a cup of tea for her.

Hong Yuye picked up her teacup. “It seems like quite a famous place indeed.”

“You’re right, Senior,” Jiang Hao said.

“I want to go and see it,” said Hong Yuye with narrowed eyes.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and did not say anything.

He had more or less completed his initial goal. Meeting the Red Dragon would not be too dangerous.

However, he was not sure if there was a Red Dragon there.

If not, he would not mention it again.

He changed the topic. Going to Jade Cloud Pavilion would not be as easy next time. He had no way to make it to the ninth floor.

“You and the Holy Master are brothers now?” Hong Yuye asked.

“It’s all for you, Senior. With the help of the Holy Master, many things will become convenient. In the future, when investigating something, there will be countless more eyes and ears.” Jiang Hao thought for a moment and added, “However, the Holy Master is not an ordinary person. Occasionally, it’s alright to put pressure on him. But if we do that too much, it’ll be difficult to see whether the information we receive is true or false. He might even scheme against us. But with you there, Senior, it’s no problem. No matter how powerful he might be, he can’t pry into you.”

Hong Yuye raised her eyebrows in surprise as she drank her tea and stared at Jiang Hao.

He lowered his head respectfully.

“As eloquent as ever.” Hong Yuye smiled. “Go on.”

Jiang Hao did not dare to be careless.

Regardless of how eloquent he could be, he needed to be silent at this time.

“You caught the Black Dragon?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao nodded and then explained what had happened.

“The Black Dragon seems to look down on humans. The Black Dragon thinks humans are just food for him. According to the Holy Master, they can also devour dragon veins,” said Jiang Hao.

“Let it out,” Hong Yuye said.

He took out the Black Dragon’s head.

It was extremely quiet. Even with the seal, it should not have been so quiet.

Jiang Hao thought that the other party might have died.

He saw that the dragon’s aura was still there, but there was no light in his eyes.

It was also filled with despair.

Jiang Hao realized that the new neighbor liked him very much.

Then, he suppressed the aura of the mountains and seas and helped the other party to recover his soul.

When the head saw Jiang Hao again, the Black Dragon’s eyes were filled with fear.

He did not want to return to that dark place where there was immense misfortune.

That kind of misfortune was suffocating.

It reminded him of a legend, but he was not sure.

Fortunately, he was out and did not want to go back in again.

The human in front of him scared him.

Which powerful clan’s servant was this person?

“Senior, how have you been lately?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

“You really are that human?” asked the Black Dragon.

“How did you know, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“If you weren’t him, how would I be here?” The Black Dragon looked at Jiang Hao. “But you’re really ugly. It is no wonder you have to dress like a scholar. It’s hard to imagine that someone like you would catch the eye of a powerful person. Even as a servant, I despise you. You don’t need to show off in front of me. You’re just a strong man’s lapdog. If it weren’t for your Master’s backing, what authority do you have to talk to me?”

Jiang Hao was a little confused.

‘Am I really ugly?’

He remembered the first time Chu Chuan saw him.

Jiang Hao glanced at Hong Yuye and understood. She had concealed his true identity.

But why did the Black Dragon think he was a servant?

“Are you saying that I can defeat you not because of my own strength, but because I have a master behind me?” Jiang Hao asked.

“What else could it be?” The Black Dragon sneered. “Don’t you know how trashy the human race is?”

Jiang Hao nodded and did not refute.

He was here to ask the dragon some questions. It did not matter if the dragon thought he served some other master.

Besides, Hong Yuye was beside him, but she was human.

The dragon probably thought that his Master was not human.

“I’m here to ask you some questions,” Jiang Hao said.

“A mere human…” The Black Dragon sighed. “I can’t believe I ended up like this. It is humiliating to be interrogated by a human.”

“Senior, a wise man submits to circumstances,” said Jiang Hao kindly. “Whether it’s humans or dragons, they’re all living beings in the world.”

“Yes, but there are three-six-nine grades among living beings.” The Black Dragon chuckled. “Humans are the lowest grade, while dragons are the highest.”

“Since you’re so powerful, how did you manage to get sealed, Senior?” asked Jiang Hao.

“The Sorcerer Tribe are hypocrites! I only overturned a few human cities, and they injured and sealed me!” said the Black Dragon disdainfully.

Jiang Hao was surprised. He had never heard of a Sorcerer Tribe.

So far, he only knew about one remnant soul of a sorcerer that possessed Liu Xingchen’s body.

“It seems that the era you lived in was too long ago, Senior,” said Jiang Hao. “Have you heard of the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl?”

“Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl?” The Black Dragon frowned. “There are many types of dragon pearls with different origins. I’ve never even heard of some of their names. I only know a little about their origin. Let me take a look at it, and maybe I’ll know where it’s from.”

Jiang Hao nodded. He would have to wait for Xiao Li.

“Senior, have you heard of stone tablets?” Jiang Hao asked.

The Black Dragon shook his head.

“Senior, what was your era like?” Jiang Hao asked.

He wanted to see how far apart the other party was from the era of the Human Emperor.

“Which clan is your Master from?” asked the Black Dragon in return.
