Chapter 1308: Demoness: Who Do You Care About? (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Hao let out a heavy sigh as he thought about it.

“When someone is alive, most people take it for granted and act recklessly. When someone suddenly disappears, it feels like something is missing in life. Trying to reconnect becomes an unattainable wish. Regret comes too late.”

Xiao Li was like that at first. She never thought people could die and would be buried. She never thought that her parents would not be there to love and scold her when needed.

When she understood this, she would often be plagued by dreams. She would run to the courtyard to make sure the people she cared about were okay.

She could not be at ease if she did not receive a response from them.

“There will always be some important people in everyone’s life.”

Jiang Hao sighed as he walked to the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and watered it.

Just as she squatted down, she smelled a familiar scent.

He quickly turned around.

“Greetings, Senior,” Jiang Hao stood up and said respectfully.

“You just said everyone has important people in their lives. Who do you care about?” Hong Yuye sat at the table.

She gestured for Jiang Hao to make tea.

Jiang Hao nodded.

“Your parents?” Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao thought for a long time. He nodded, and then, shook his head.

“Yes and… no. They left an indelible mark on my life. I should have let go of them, but I’m still attached to them. I let go of everything they did to me. I don’t blame them, nor do I hate them. Where I am right now, I don’t see their actions as inherently wrong. That’s only because I have also changed. In the past, I used to blame them for everything. But with time, I’ve come to understand and feel an attachment to them. I just can’t bring myself to hate them.”

Hong Yuye looked at the person in front of her and said calmly, “Why do you feel attached?”

“I want to see them and talk to them.” Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said, “Maybe I’ll ask them if they regretted letting me go. I would ask them why they made such a decision. No matter what, the truth remains that they raised me. I was five years old. Five years might not seem so long in this stage of my life, but when I was a child, it was everything. So, I would blame them in the past, but now, I don’t.

“I was resentful when I was young because of it. At that age, I wasn’t mature enough to think about their reasons for abandoning me. But now… I feel like they raised me as long as they could. That’s why I hold no resentment for them. Sometimes, I’m generous with people not because I’m a good person, but because I feel like my life is better than most people, so I feel like helping as much as I can. It seems that it’s easy to be a good and generous person when one has wealth.”

Hong Yuye observed him but did not say anything.

This was the first time she had seen him speak so much.

After some time, she finally said, “If they aren’t the most important people in your life, then who is?”

Many faces flashed in Jiang Hao’s mind. Most of them were vague and unreal.

There were very few that had color and clarity.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and did not speak.

He was weak and no match for the person before him. He was too insignificant in the face of the Great Era.

Even the Five Demons could easily suppress him.

He could not guess what the most powerful person would be like.

Only by becoming strong himself could he understand a strong person’s mindset.

The difference between his current self and his nineteen-year-old self seemed vast, but in front of true power, it was not significant.

“The Great Era is coming soon,” Hong Yuye said.

Jiang Hao was surprised.

“The immortal energy is getting more abundant, and the will of the Great Dao is flowing endlessly. It’s twice as fast as before.” Hong Yuye looked up into the sky. “Previously, the time duration was ten years. Now, it’s seven or even just five years.”

Jiang Hao frowned.

Time was running out.

The Great Era was arriving too quickly.

Moreover, it might bring changes again.

After a year and a half, he would have to address the matter.

He could not drag this on any longer.

First, he had to retrieve the fragments of the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield. He could sense that the fragments were not in one place.

“When the Great Era arrives, my treasures will react, and the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower will too. The seal will also change. Will these things change?” Jiang Hao took out three pearls.

They were covered by purple energy.

One of them was blood-red, one was jade-green, and another one was white.

They were the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl, the Earth Extreme Silent Pearl, and the Heavenly Extreme Dream Pearl.

The Nine Nether was also dangerous, but these three pearls were the most important.

With them around, the Nine Nether would not dare to break its seal.

Even if it was given a hundred chances, it would not dare to make a move.

“They will.” Hong Yuye nodded.

Jiang Hao was speechless.

Hong Yuye paused for a moment. “Use the Heavenly Gate Dragon Blood Formation and fuse it with the power of the Mountain Sea Seal Formation.”

“Heavenly Gate Dragon Blood Formation?” Jiang Hao asked.

As for the Mountain Sea Seal Formation, he could ask the Holy Master.

The divine soul had almost exhausted.

The Black-Yellow Curse was nearly done.

Hong Yuye handed him a piece of paper. “Just set it up in your courtyard.”

Jiang Hao took it and thanked her.

“This trip overseas… You might not find any clues, so be prepared,” said Hong Yuye.

Jiang Hao’s investigation had two main goals.

One was to investigate the mastermind behind the stone tablet.

The other was to inquire about the origin of the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.

After explaining, Hong Yuye left.

Jiang Hao calmly sat in the courtyard. Then, he got up to continue watering the flower.

His aura was completely hidden.

He looked like an ordinary gardener who was just doing his job.
