Chapter 645   - 645: Taking Along The Three People To Meet The Demoness

‘Raise the price?’ Jiang Hao looked at the person in front of him and frowned.

That hadn’t crossed his mind, but after a brief moment of hesitation, he slowly said, “Add one more person.”

He didn’t want to give extra spirit stones, and twice the relief wasn’t possible.

The former was because he was short of spirit stones, and the latter was because it was impossible.

So, he could only make a concession in terms of the number of people. Shangguan Qingsu extended two fingers. “Two, and I’ll answer your questions.”

Jiang Hao lowered his head. He didn’t immediately respond. Instead, he focused on fishing quietly.

“Hmm?” The man beside them seemed somewhat dissatisfied. His aura surged.

However, Jiang Hao was unfazed and sat still on the fishing platform.

He had offered relief to two people. However, that offer was useless because all three of them had the same goal.

Jiang Hao paused. ‘Three people with the same goal?’

The most significant aspect of the Great Thousand God Sect that piqued his interest was the Great Thousand Spiritual Avatar.

Could the other two people be avatars of Shangguan Qingsu?

The primary body had achieved the Immortal Ascension Platform. Had the avatars done the same?

Jiang Hao thought that it was impossible.

Regardless, he had to act like he was in a difficult position to make them feel like they had the upper hand.

With that, she might answer him truthfully. Otherwise, she would hide things from him while answering his questions.

“Do you agree or not?” Shangguan Qingsu’s voice was cold. Jiang Hao turned to look at her. “I have two conditions.”

“Go on,” Shangguan Qingsu immediately said.

“One, I have to see if the information you provide is worth my help. If the information isn’t worth my assistance, it would put me in a difficult position,” Jiang Hao said.

Shangguan Qingsu was silent for a moment. After a short while, she said,

“What’s the second condition?”

“Secondly…” Jiang Hao shook the fishing rod in his hand. “Senior, can I have this fishing rod?”

“Just that?” Shangguan Qingsu seemed incredulous.

She thought the second request would be very demanding. She didn’t expect it to be so simple.

“Yeah. Just that.” Jiang Hao nodded with a smile.

“Alright,” Shangguan Qingsu said. “The fishing rod is yours.”

‘But you owe me 1,100 spirit stones.’ However, the fishing rod was also a decent magical treasure and of good quality. It was worth around one thousand to two thousand spirit stones.

The only issue was that fishing rods were quite uncommon and not easy to sell.

“What would you like to know?” Shangguan Qingsu asked.

“What is Feng Hua’s weakness?” Jiang Hao got straight to the point. “Weakness?” Shangguan Qingsu frowned. “Her appearance…”

“Besides her appearance?” Jiang Hao asked.

Shangguan Qingsu raised an eyebrow. “You knew about that?”

Jiang Hao smiled but didn’t say anything.

The woman in front of him was surprised. She didn’t hide her emotions.

“It seems you’re not as simple as I thought. There aren’t many people who know this, and each of the ones who do are quite powerful. It’s not something you can find out while just being in the Return to Void Realm,” she said.

“Senior, please continue,” Jiang Hao said.

“Besides her looks, she’s also very concerned about a particular avatar located in the Sunset Immortal Sect. This avatar has a perfect appearance, at least in her eyes, and is incomparable. She visited all four regions… East, West, South, and North. But she only stopped for that avatar. She stayed in the southern region from then on. She has other motives for staying in the South as well. Nevertheless, it’s this avatar that makes her unwilling to leave the South. She said that this avatar lives as she most desires and has invested most of her emotions into her.”

‘So, there is such an avatar.’ Jiang Hao was amazed. ‘What kind of avatar would make her feel that way?’

There were countless avatars. People couldn’t find her main body. It was almost impossible, but she was willing to stay in one place just because of an avatar.

“Indeed, Feng Hua is quite extraordinary,” Jiang Hao said with a soft laugh. “For both her appearance and her obsession with that particular avatar, she’s truly an emotional individual.”

He couldn’t help but wonder whether these emotions might be a bit twisted.

“Indeed, she’s quite unique,” Shangguan Qingsu said. “Her recent behavior in the last few decades has been especially strange. It seems she has been in contact with someone remarkable.”

‘Someone remarkable?’ Jiang Hao made a mental note of it.

“Who is the avatar?” Jiang Hao asked.

Shangguan Qingsu didn’t hesitate to answer. “She’s a young lady, Yan Shang, the daughter of an Elder in the Sunset Immortal Sect.”

Jiang Hao was somewhat frustrated because he didn’t have anyone that he knew in the Sunset Immortal Sect. In fact, he had enemies there, which would make it challenging to gather information from there.

Nevertheless, having some information was still better than having none.

“Is there anything else?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Nothing.” Shangguan Qingsu shook her head. “How many weaknesses do you want? A couple isn’t enough?”

Jiang Hao nodded.

He wasn’t greedy. One more weakness would do.magic

After he finished eating the fruits from the Tranquil Fruit Tree, he would pay a visit and greet the young lady.

That way, Feng Hua would know not to mess with him.

Of course, he would do it as Smiling San Sheng.

After completing that, he would need to return as his old self and wait patiently.

He had to become stronger. Only then would he have a safer future.

As time went on, it became increasingly difficult for him to communicate on an equal footing with others, let alone with Heavenly King Taomu.

Even though he could have a good conversation with Shangguan Qingsu now, he was still limited in his actions.

If she made a move against him, he didn’t know if he could even escape safely. “Is there anything else you want to ask?” Shangguan Qingsu asked.

“Are you looking for a reward, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked with a smile.

“If you can’t do what you promised, I will kill you,” Shangguan Qingsu said bluntly.

“Then, let’s go. I’ll take you to a place where you can wait for my arrangements,” Jiang Hao said.

The three of them looked at each other and agreed with Jiang Hao.

Their plan was simple. They would capture this person if he really had the ability to help them. If they could seize what they wanted, they would. If not, they would imprison him for life.

Jiang Hao put away his fishing rod. Although he didn’t know what these people were thinking, greed was basic human nature, especially when powerful people were concerned.

Plundering someone’s belongings was merely because they had caught their eye, and it wasn’t their concern if the owner couldn’t defend them.

Jiang Hao just assumed that people would act that way.

So, he would take them to the inn and ask for Hong Yuye’s help.

As for suppressing their pain…

This was even easier. Even the most formidable curse would be negated by the mere presence of the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

“After we’re done, what are your plans, Seniors?” Jiang Hao asked as they walked. “Many people are fishing here. Is the catch decent?”

“Some are offering fifty thousand spirit stones for one Nether Fish,” said Shangguan Qingsu.

Jiang Hao was so stunned that he stopped in his tracks.

Should he go back to fishing?
