Being younger, she was restricted in many ways. Now that Bi Zhu was trying to cozy up to her, she would definitely be ridiculed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just checking if there are any suspicious individuals here. The cultivation realms of the people here are relatively average. A master like me can help you look around and be sure,” Bi Zhu said as she looked around. She briefly stopped in front of each person and then moved on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people lowered their heads in worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were branded suspicious, they would suffer greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister, maybe you should check the people around you. There are no wrongdoers here,” the young girl complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take another look,” Bi Zhu said when she saw the last person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she furrowed her brows slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are there others?” she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s one more who went to buy things for me,” the young princess said instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, she saw Bi Zhu sitting down. “Then, I’ll wait for her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young princess was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a while, someone finally entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu immediately turned and used a secret technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the last one, and there was no reason for it not to be her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a woman in her thirties appeared in her sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was holding pastries and standing at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other princess, she seemed a little startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she greeted them respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the younger princess was getting worried, unsure of what Bi Zhu was going to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu sighed and stood up. The young woman before her showed no issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister, I’m leaving,” she said to the young girl beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young princess was in her thirties, yet she was so small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The younger princess let out a sigh of relief. Bi Zhu was finally going to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Bi Zhu met up with Qiao Yi looking dispirited. “Princess, did you find anything?” Qiao Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The two of them walked on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the sunshine was bright, and there was a subtle fragrance in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu looked up at the sky helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Auntie Qiao, do you think there are other princesses I haven’t met yet.” “None. You have met them all,” said Qiao Yi. “What is it that you’re looking for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What am I looking for?” Princess Bi Zhu thought about it and said, “Looking for luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luck?” Auntie Qiao was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I find it, I’ll be lucky. If not…” Bi Zhu sighed. Finding the person would bring many benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, it seemed fruitless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she looked at Auntie Qiao, she suddenly froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze had been on Auntie Qiao. She wasn’t conscious that she was using the secret technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in an instant, Bi Zhu’s eyes narrowed. “What’s wrong, Princess?” Auntie Qiao asked curiously. “Nothing… nothing.” Bi Zhu walked ahead absentmindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auntie Qiao was not surprised by this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They returned to their residence along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the garden pool, Bi Zhu sat by the stone table and rested her chin on her hands. She was lost in thought as she gazed at the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who do you plan to visit next, Princess?” Auntie Qiao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Bi Zhu said, “Why did you choose to stay by my side,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auntie Qiao? I’m over three hundred years old and have no future.” “Huh?” Auntie Qiao was puzzled. “What are you talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu turned to look at the person beside her. “I just want to know why.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe it’s because I watched you being born.” Auntie Qiao thought for a moment and said, “Back then, I followed your mother, and since your birth, she couldn’t bear to part with you and asked me to take care of you.” “Then, where do you plan to go after I die?” Bi Zhu asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you suddenly asking this?” Auntie Qiao felt it was a bit strange, but she still answered, “I don’t know… I might leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu hesitated for a moment before turning away. “Auntie Qiao, what if I tell you that I am the first genius of the royal family in history? What would you think of me then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auntie Qiao smiled. “Don’t you always say that, Princess?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, let me phrase it differently.” Bi Zhu stood up and looked at Auntie Qiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Ji Xueji, I’ve discovered you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao looked at the shattered Heaven Lock Stone on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this thing was beneficial to his Heaven Lock Technique, accepting gifts from unknown people could sometimes entangle him in unexpected things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of Hong Yuye, he was already involved in too many matters. He didn’t want to be caught up in even more perilous whirlwinds just because of a piece of stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation might be a bit troublesome now, but he could still handle it and figure something out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t overestimate himself. Otherwise, he’d suffer later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye sat down and gestured for Jiang Hao to make tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Other than these, there are some discoveries from the recent gathering,” Jiang Hao said after making the tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to the information, he also had two notebooks to show her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was about everything he had found out about Feng Hua. The other one was a record of the gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she looked through them, Jiang Hao still recounted everything from start to finish, from Heaven Lock to the discussion about the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Ancestral Dragon’s Heart?” Hong Yuye closed the book with some interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart really appeared overseas?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s hard to say. Rumors suggest that the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart could be a sealed item of the Sacred Bandits.” Jiang Hao hesitated for a moment. “But by a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stroke of luck, I learned a piece of information that might be related to the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart. The person mentioned that to the east of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly River, there’s the Archean Abyss Dragon Pearl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dragon Pearl?” Hong Yuye seemed even more interested. Even though she looked indifferent, Jiang Hao could sense her curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then said _ “Vps _ hilt all of this is rumors ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you know where the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart might be, it’s useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s only one way to find it: go to the Abyssal Sea and summon it with the Dragon Clan’s aura,” Hong Yuye said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is the Abyssal Sea to the east of the Heavenly River?” Jiang Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yuye gave him a glance but didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Jiang Hao couldn’t quite understand that look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, there didn’t seem to be any danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you get in touch with the person who mentioned the Dragon Pearl?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should be able to,” Jiang Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know if that fish was still around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ask for more details,” Hong Yuye said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t the Ancestral Dragon’s Heart different from the Dragon Clan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked her, but he didn’t get a response. This only added to his confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, regarding the Abyssal Sea, he could go and ask the Heavenly King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The challenge would be how to make him cooperate. He needed to identify his weaknesses from the appraisal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether it would be effective or not, that was uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which one do you want to choose?” Hong Yuye asked as she gestured to the notebook with Feng Hua’s information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were three choices of communication listed there, so he had to pick one..\u003C\u002Fp>",1347,"2026-06-03T11:45:59.887Z","2026-06-03T11:46:04.901Z",1,"novelbin.me","89c671cd440c12d0f17bdb98eebc6ef16da0c9f73600b10950a4d07ad0733907","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-553","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-551",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
