vortex, tree roots and branches were frantically swaying, attempting to draw in all creatures nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a large ship collided with the vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever the ship passed, the twisted sea area began to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree roots were constantly retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made the roots most fearful was the white dog swimming around the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All distortions were but mist to it, instantly shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it wasn't the ship that was crushing the distortions, but this dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, none of the people on the ship paid attention to the dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a middle-aged man was looking at Jiang Hao with some fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought he was just dealing with some young noble, but hadn't expected such ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his cultivation didn't seem very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter what, calling someone 'senior' couldn't be wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for now, he didn't dare to speak anymore, he could only listen quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao lifted his teacup and said, \"Explain what is happening here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the question, the middle-aged man immediately replied, \"Junior was taking my daughter to visit relatives...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the man could continue, Jiang Hao felt something strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After starting his cultivation journey, he rarely heard about someone taking their child to visit relatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When little girl went to visit her relatives, she went alone, without parents to accompany her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when he heard it just now, it surprised Jiang Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Note Sect also seemed quite surprised, and both of them listened intently to the man as he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man became nervous all of a sudden, not understanding why these two became so serious all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't dare to be rash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He honestly began to explain the situation: \"Junior's journey has been smooth so far, but then I suddenly encountered a beam of black light that felt extremely mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, I thought a divine item had appeared in the world, so I approached to have a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some fellow disciples passing by did the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I got closer to the center, I vaguely saw an altar with some magical treasures on it, like an arsenal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone knew that this was an opportunity, so they rushed in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior was a step late, but it was just that one step, so luckily I survived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not long after those people entered, space began to distort, and these tree roots came following.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the beginning, everyone tried their best to resist, but soon realized the attacks were useless; it was not something our cultivators could contend with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So junior kept fleeing with my daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, we encountered senior, otherwise...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, the middle-aged man pulled his daughter to her feet and respectfully performed a grand salutation to Jiang Hao: \"Thank you, senior, for saving our lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao looked at them and asked, \"What are your names?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior is called Duanmu Wuji.\" Duanmu Wuji said and then turned to look at his daughter, whose complexion had paled, and continued, \"This is my daughter, Duanmu Qingqing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can call me Gu Jin,\" Jiang Hao replied indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he looked at the middle-aged man and asked, \"Who are you visiting when you say you're going to visit relatives?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this question, Duanmu Wuji hesitated for a moment, not understanding why this person in front of him, instead of asking about treasures, was inquiring about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there any relevance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still not daring to ask, he could only answer, \"I'm going to my father-in-law and mother-in-law's house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And where is your wife?\" Jiang Hao inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's at her parents' house, they do not approve of our marriage,\" Duanmu Wuji lamented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Heavenly Note Sect took a sip of tea, even more intent than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The story had become interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been any other scenario, it wouldn't have been as interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded as well, \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the Heavenly Note Sect loved such stories, and it just so happened to come across one that seemed likely to pass the time nicely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, we are approaching the altar ahead,\" Duanmu Qingqing reminded softly, not daring to speak out until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao looked ahead and frowned slightly, \"Indeed, it's a bit troublesome, seems like something is leaking out from somewhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Duanmu father and daughter thought action was needed, Jiang Hao casually said, \"Little Wang, go have a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words ended, the sound of a dog barking came from the sea surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the surrounding distortions started to disintegrate in patches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, a dog rushed into the deep waters, its destination unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was filled with either distortions or the strength of a divine soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving it to Little Wang was the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking Little Wang out this time was the right move, as both the North and overseas were extremely suitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It spared Jiang Hao the trouble of acting himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging Little Wang's task, Jiang Hao looked to Duanmu Wuji and said, \"Keep talking about your situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duanmu Wuji: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that these two seniors were just plainly bored and wanted to hear his story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was his story already written all over his face?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he felt somewhat relieved, at least this story had saved him and his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the prospects would have been grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior was born into a decent family, the young master of a small overseas family, but we fell upon hard times when I came of age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then, my parents wanted me to have a better chance at survival, so they sent me with a marriage proposal to Shangyuan Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are four major families there, and my intended, the young miss of the Hu Family, was one of them,\" Duanmu Wuji said with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Hao found it somewhat unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The story was truly theatrical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Family downfall, an arranged marriage, and the bride's family looking down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue,\" Jiang Hao said while sipping his tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the ship was approaching the vortex, not far from the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black light burst forth from the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light was so dazzling that it made Duanmu father and daughter somewhat anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, the bright light began to fade, and a wave of fear started to confuse the twisting vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire vortex was trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many powerful forces and lights emerged from below the water, as if strong individuals were dueling beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to worry about what's happening below, just keep talking,\" Jiang Hao reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Duanmu Wuji was jolted back to reality, and he promptly continued his story: \"Junior went there, but they didn't even let me through the door, saying that I'm utterly unworthy of their young mistress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1135,"2026-06-03T11:46:36.654Z","2026-06-03T11:46:32.358Z",1,"novelbin.me","bbc1eb3487d521aababea3fd0b54d5b07ace4211888af75ed95714df2842b096","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1549","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1547",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
