Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1488: I Don't Dare Die Until I Finish What I Promise

In the early morning, rays of sunlight fell into the courtyard.

Jiang Hao looked at Hong Yuye under the tree. The light shining on her face made her look like a painting.

But he noticed that she was not in a good condition.

"A long ti?" She looked at him. "It's just been six months."

Jiang Hao shook his head. "Senior, it may seem like six months to you, but for , a lot of ti has passed. To die and co back to life again is not sothing that can be done in a re six months."

When he was released, he gradually sensed the state of his body.

If he had been just a skeleton, the mont he was revived, flesh and blood would have regenerated.

He could have chosen to delay waking up.

If he had waited a few hundred years, perhaps things outside would have settled down.

But he did not do that.

When he felt it was the right ti, he woke up.

When he ca back to life, he felt a sense of peace. He thought he would be in so wilderness, but he was surprised to find himself in the courtyard.

Although he had speculated, he was still taken aback when he heard what Xiao Li had said.

It felt like a lifeti had passed.

Before, he had almost died. This ti, he had really died.

The endless darkness had swallowed him and offered him no escape.

At that mont, he could clearly feel that there was no Jiang Hao left in this world.

If not for a divine power that gave him another chance, his story would have ended.

It was a terrifying feeling.

"What did you go through?" Hong Yuye hesitated before asking him.

"Senior, Why did you think I could co back to life?" Jiang Hao asked in return.

"There's a special power protecting you… a force of life," Hong Yuye said.

When she tried to save him, there was no hope, but she did sense sothing unusual.

Jiang Hao sat down at the tea table under the peach tree and began making tea for Hong Yuye.

His storage treasure was still with him, though the spirit stones inside were gone.

Out of the over seven million spirit stones, only seventy thousand were left.

He was rather emotional.

Those were the spirit stones he had saved up over decades.

He had no idea where they had gone.

As he brewed the tea, Jiang Hao said, "It felt like I had a dream."

"A dream?" Hong Yuye was a bit surprised.

"Yes. In the dream, I fell into an endless abyss, where I would sleep forever, with nothing in the world concerning anymore. Just as I was about to settle into that silence, soone woke up," Jiang Hao recalled. "Later, in a special place, I t two people. A husband and a wife. The man gave two choices."

"Two choices?" Hong Yuye asked curiously.

"Yes, one was to stay there and beco a disciple of a certain Sect Master, and the other was to return," Jiang Hao said.

"What was the difference between the two choices?" Hong Yuye asked.

"Perhaps staying there would an truly dying," Jiang Hao said slowly.

"In the dream, you probably thought staying would be the best choice, right?" Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao nodded.

Indeed…

Becoming the disciple of a Sect Master had seed like a good thing.

If he returned, he would have to face the Earth Extre Silent Pearl once again. His life and death were uncertain.

"Why did you choose to return?" Hong Yuye asked while sipping her tea.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and looked at the tea leaves on the table. He said softly, "I felt that there were many things that I left unfinished for you, Senior."

Hearing this, Hong Yuye's hand on the teacup paused before she continued drinking her tea. "What things?"

"I can't rember clearly, but there should be a lot of things I still need to do," Jiang Hao shook his head and said truthfully.

He really could not rember clearly. He had delayed a lot of things. He only rembered that he had yet to find the owner behind the stone tablet and had to figure out the origin of the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.

He had wanted to put everything off until he was strong enough to control his own life and death.

He was not soone who would forget the debts he owed, but...

He was afraid of losing control and dying.

Only with enough strength could he decide his own fate and live well.

Hong Yuye set down her teacup. "Just because of that?"

Jiang Hao shook his head. "My ho is here."

"Ho?" Hong Yuye said plainly. "Wasn't your ho destroyed?"

"You're joking, Senior," Jiang Hao said as he looked at the courtyard. "This is my ho."

Hong Yuye fell silent.

Jiang Hao continued sipping his tea.

"Why did you crush the Earth Extre Silent Pearl?" Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao thought for a mont and said, "Turning left ant living, turning right ant dying peacefully."

"So, you chose to go right because of Xiao Li?" Hong Yuye asked.

"I don't know." Jiang Hao shook his head. "I thought about a lot of things back then. I reflected on my life, which was full of bitterness because of many reasons. Since I couldn't decide how to live, I decided to die on my own terms."

"What would you choose if it were soone else?" Hong Yuye asked.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and remained silent for a long ti before shaking his head. "I don't know. Back then, with you there, Senior, I could die without worries. Without you, nothing I did would have been without aning."

Hong Yuye looked at him for a while before asking how it felt to co back to life.

"It feels like I've lived through endless years. I feel a bit lost, even confused," Jiang Hao hesitated before saying. "But there's sothing I'd like to ask you, Senior."

Hong Yuye sipped her tea and did not say anything. She gestured for Jiang Hao to speak.

Jiang Hao thought for a mont and said, "I was poisoned before I died, and after coming back to life, I'm still poisoned. I'm curious, is this poison really that tenacious?"

Hong Yuye looked intently at him and asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Hao was silent. 'I'm asking you because I don't know…'

"I believe you must have a deeper purpose, Senior," Jiang Hao said. "Senior, do you know where the seven million spirit stones in my storage treasure went?"
