Chapter 622 - 622: The Demoness: You Can Cook?
He used an ordinary person’s strength.
Snap!
The firewood was split with a single strike, but he was calm and composed.
He recalled the first time he had learned to chop firewood as his stepmother watched him.
He didn’t know why she was watching him.
He had a massive number of tasks that he needed to fulfill, and she used to intentionally make things difficult for him.
Snap!
Another firewood split in half.
Although he didn’t like his stepmother, she did raise him well until he was five.
Snap!
The firewood fell to the ground. Jiang Hao was calm as ever. He felt a peace of mind from deep within.
For a moment _ it was as if he had returned in the time when he was four yeard
old. He had been restless, impatient, and full of resentment toward his stepmother. He had felt contempt toward his father for his negligence. He also remembered the bowl of rice with meat and how he had loved meat at that time.
Countless emotions intertwined, but his mind remained calm.
He felt a sense of acceptance with a bit of nostalgia.
The Mountain Sea Seal appeared in his hand as if it had become vast due to its owner’s state of mind.
A sense of peace extended in the surroundings.
The firewood fell.
Jing Fengyun suddenly froze. He felt that the surroundings had become too quiet.
He even felt a sense of peace.
Then, he recalled the past. For some reason, this time, he viewed it without prejudice and without anger.
It was as if he was calmly observing from the perspective of a bystander.
He watched himself being mistreated and bullied.
The resentment he had held before slowly resurfaced, but this time, it seemed like he understood more.
A profound change occurred deep within his heart.
Wind and Cloud Nine Transformations activated instinctively.
The obstructing aura was crushed into fragments.
He broke through the restraints and advanced to a new cultivation realm.
When he came back to his senses, he was in disbelief.
At that moment, there was nothing he could hear except the sound of firewood being chopped.
“What’s going on?” A storm surged in his heart. Hong Yuye was looking at Jiang Hao.
No one knew what she was thinking.
When he finished chopping the firewood, Jiang Hao let out a sigh.
He looked at the Mountain Sea Seal that had condensed in his hand and felt that it had some power.
He could naturally feel the change that had just occurred.
He just hadn’t expected that recalling the past would bring up so many emotions within him.
Perhaps it was because he could never go back to how he was.
Now, he was thirty-three. He was no longer young. For an ordinary person, just a few decades would pass quickly enough. Going back would take him ten years.
Ten years…
How many decades does an ordinary person have?
Jiang Hao put away the Mountain Sea Seal, got up, and prepared to light a fire.
He wanted to cook.
Since the firewood was chopped, the next step was to make some food. “Young friend, come help me light the fire,” Jiang Hao said calmly.
“Huh?” Jing Fengyun woke up from a daze and nodded.
He found that his problems had been solved unknowingly.
At that moment, he not only felt grateful to Jiang Hao but also deeply in awe of him.
This senior was mysterious and unfathomable.
Soon, the aroma of the meal began to waft about the surroundings.
Hong Yuye walked over to him. “You can cook?”
“Did you cook before?” Hong Yuye looked at the green vegetables on the plate.
“I’ve only made simple meals,” Jiang Hao said.
“And how does it taste?” Hong Yuye asked.
“Senior, you can try it” Jiang Hao pushed the dish over to her.
However, Hong Yuye did not move. She looked at the plate of green vegetables with disdain.
Jiang Hao felt puzzled. Did she dislike it even before tasting it?
He shook his head. He wanted to know what she thought about his culinary skills.
As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, Hong Yuye stared at him.
In the end, he could only put down the chopsticks in his hand.
It seemed that he couldn’t eat it either.
“Give this to the little kid,” Jiang Hao said to Jing Fengyun.
“I won’t eat it. It’s useless,” the kid shouted from inside.
“If you don’t eat, you’ll starve before the seventh day arrives,” Jiang Hao said.
“I don’t care,” said the kid but a little less sternly.
Jiang Hao didn’t insist. He simply made tea in the courtyard and read a book.
The tea was for Hong Yuye.
The next day, Jiang Hao prepared food for the child as usual. Most of it remained untouched, but a few pieces of meat were missing.
“Are you trying to catch me to threaten my dad? You can dream on,” the kid said defiantly from inside the house.
“In that case, you better hide. If you come out, I’ll catch you, ” Jiang Hao said with a smile.
He didn’t argue with the child. If he talked with them, that was okay. If not, they could just continue to wait here.
They would wait for Tian Chen here.
If Tian Chen saw them here, he would be much more willing to talk with them.
Jiang Hao didn’t expect it to be easy, but he had to try.
“This is the fourth day. Is your father coming back soon?” Jing Fengyun asked.
“Of course! When my father arrives, you bad guys are done for,” the kid said proudly.
“The fourth day?” The old woman frowned as she looked at the woman in the courtyard.
“How could it be the fourth day so soon?”
“It is indeed the fourth day. Many villagers have said the same,” the young woman said.
“It seems that Madam Gong really wants to see someone,” the old woman said as she knocked on the door.
Nothing had worked. They had to take another approach if they wanted to succeed.
“Senior, who do you want to see? Perhaps we can help you find them,” the old woman said softly.
Creak!
The courtyard gate opened.
Mi Lingyue was surprised. Previously, no matter how they tried, it never worked. Now, with just a mention of someone, the gate opened.
She immediately stepped inside.
Madame Gong didn’t appear as stunning as she was rumored to be. She looked just like an ordinary woman.
However, she didn’t seem to be in a good state. There was no sparkle in her eyes.
She seemed lifeless.
“Senior, may I ask whom you wish to see?” the old woman asked.
At that moment, she expanded her mental power to try to pry.
“I can sense its fear. A person with great luck has appeared nearby. I want to see him.” Madame Gong looked vacantly at the old woman and the others.
“A person with great luck?” Mi Lingyue asked.
She understood what Madam Gong meant, but there was no one with great luck in the whole world at present.
Why did Madame Gong feel that there was such a person here?
“Senior, there has been no one with great luck in the whole world,” said the old woman.
As a person from the Heavenly Tower, she had a wealth of knowledge.
Furthermore, such a person would cause quite a commotion. Their identity couldn’t stay hidden for long.
Currently, there were signs that a disciple of the Bright Moon Sect might become a person of great luck, but she wouldn’t come here.
“He is nearby. The fear… is real. He wants to escape urgently from here. I want to see him,” said Madam Gong as she looked at Mi Lingyue and the others.
Her vacant gaze sent a shiver down their spine.
They had no idea who or what she was talking about.
Who was afraid?
Who was this person of great luck?
