Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

“Not anything big. Just small matters,” said Cheng Chou. He looked a little helpless. “It’s the same as before. Since you’ve been gone, the people from the Candlelight Pill Pavilion have gone back to their old ways. Now that you are here, they might do better.”

Jiang Hao displayed his cultivation in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.

“Is it still the Foundation Establishment Alchemist?” he asked. Cheng Chou nodded.

“Besides that, has anything else happened recently?” Jiang Hao asked.

Cheng Chou thought for a moment. “The people from the Heavenly Saint Sect are expected to retaliate. There were some infiltrators. Many Spirit Herb Gardens have also been damaged to some extent. Since we haven’t added more people here, we’re fine for now. Lord Beast is also keeping an eye out. There was a person who tried to mess with ordinary people, but Lord Beast caught him. Thanks to you, Senior Brother Jiang, we’re all safe. Under Lord Beast’s guidance, Xiao Li also captured an important spy. I heard the spy was very strong, but she captured him. It was thanks to Lord Beast’s help.” “Who got the credit for that?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Most of it went to you, Senior Brother,” Cheng Chou said.

Jiang Hao frowned.

It seemed that Lord Beast and Xiao Li were causing trouble for him again.

He couldn’t do anything rash for now.

“But there’s one problem,” Cheng Chou said. “The spy from the Heavenly Saint Sect, who was caught, insisted on meeting you. He claimed that you betrayed him, and he wanted to expose you…”

Jiang Hao was speechless.

It seemed that the beast had done its part wonderfully.

“Senior Brother Jiang, you’re back!” Xiao Li shouted in excitement.

She ran to him joyfully with the spirit beast in her arms.

She looked at Jiang Hao in anticipation. It seemed she had found out about the ring he had given to the spirit beast and wanted one too.

But she didn’t know how to ask for it.

Jiang Hao handed her a golden ring.

“Is this for me?” Xiao Li asked excitedly.

“Yeah.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang.” Xiao Li jumped up excitedly. She gave Jiang Hao some jujubes. “Here… For you, Senior Brother Jiang.” Jiang Hao tried one. It tasted good.

Then, he looked at Cheng Chou. “It’s been a long time since you advanced to the middle stage, right?”

“Just a few years,” Cheng Chou said in embarrassment.

“This time, I’ll explain it to you from the beginning. If you have any questions, ask me. It might help you refine your realm. The Golden Core Realm may be within reach,” said Jiang Hao matter-of-factly..
