Chapter 1016: Approaching the Target
The story of Bai Li and Jiang Yujiao is a unique one, where Bai Li repays a life-saving debt with his body.
Ten years ago, Bai Li fought a fierce battle with a demon cultivator of the same realm. He was seriously injured and fled to the floating island of Five Finger Mountain, but could not hold on and fell down.
Then Jiang Yujiao saw him, rescued him, and settled him in the cave to recuperate.
During that time, Jiang Yujiao's mother, Jiang Mingshuang, was not at home, so Bai Li stayed there to recuperate.
Although Bai Li is a half-demon, he is handsome and alluring. As they spend time together, feelings begin to develop between them.
Because of his half-demon identity, Bai Li was looked down upon by both human cultivators and demons, which made him somewhat cynical.
But Jiang Yujiao was a kind-hearted, cheerful, and bright girl who did not discriminate against him at all because of his half-demon identity.
Instead, they were quite interested in his pointed fox ears and would try to touch them from time to time.
Having been saved by Jiang Yujiao and then receiving such genuine affection from her without any ulterior motives, how could Bai Li not be moved?
So he repaid the debt of saving his life with his body!
When Jiang Mingshuang returned home and learned everything about her daughter and this half-demon man, she was immediately enraged.
Let alone Bai Li being a half-demon despised by both humans and demons, even if Bai Li were a completely human cultivator, Jiang Mingshuang would still feel like her own cabbage had been eaten by a pig.
In the cultivation world, apart from those who cultivate special techniques that require virginity, there is no concept of remaining chaste, nor are there any shackles of chastity for others.
Jiang's mother simply didn't want her daughter to neglect her cultivation because of love, and even less did she want her daughter to get involved with a scoundrel. After all, she herself was a bloody example.
When Jiang Mingshuang was young, she fell in love with a male cultivator and eagerly became his partner. She even secretly got pregnant on her own initiative and gave birth to Jiang Yujiao.
Unfortunately, the man was only concerned with climbing up the ladder as quickly as possible and didn't care about the life or death of the mother and daughter at all, nor did he want to give them any cultivation resources.
After her heartbreak, Jiang Mingshuang suddenly realized her mistake and cut off all romantic love, never liking any man again.
She risked her life, venturing into all sorts of perilous situations. Not only did she rapidly improve her own cultivation, but she also provided her daughter with cultivation resources.
Under such circumstances, how could she possibly agree to her daughter liking a man again? Especially since this man was a lowly half-demon.
Hierarchical distinctions exist at all times.
In terms of race and bloodline, this hierarchy of contempt is: human cultivators, demon cultivators, half-demon cultivators, and evil cultivators.
Even the demon race acknowledges this hierarchy of contempt.
Jiang Mingshuang was a God-King, while Bai Li was a God-Lord. Poor Bai Li, he had just recovered considerably, only to be beaten black and blue by Jiang Mingshuang.
However, out of consideration for her daughter, Jiang Mingshuang allowed Bai Li to suffer only superficial injuries, without causing any serious harm.
Bai Li was beaten, and Jiang Yujiao cried her heart out, which made Bai Li even more unwilling to separate from Jiang Yujiao.
But circumstances were against him; he couldn't defeat Jiang Mingshuang. Furthermore, because Jiang's mother kept a close watch on them, the two didn't even have a chance to meet.
Helpless, Bai Li had no choice but to settle on Qingxi Island, looking for an opportunity to see Jiang Yujiao again.
That's why he felt that Ba Dou's story was similar to his own in some ways.
The happy ending of the story filled Bai Li with confidence in his and Jiang Yujiao's future.
Ba Dou's flattering and obsequious behavior finally won over Bai Li.
After that, although Bai Li still kept it in the cave, he gave it several treasures that were useful to demon beasts.
So, thanks to its clever tongue, Croton lived a smooth life again and reaped great rewards.
Of course, Xiao Han, who was still on the floating island of Wuzhi Mountain at this time, was completely unaware of all this.
On this day, Xiao Han, who had been waiting anxiously, finally received her mission objective.
Sensing the female cultivator descending, Xiao Han immediately prepared herself to meet her mission target.
She emerged from the cave, flying in a crooked and erratic manner.
Before Jiang Mingshuang even landed, she spotted Xiao Han.
However, she didn't rush to deal with it, wanting to see how the people inside the cave would act.
Xiao Han saw Jiang Mingshuang standing in front of the cave, looking at her expressionlessly, while Jiang Yujiao looked on with curiosity.
She flew over, a perfectly timed expression of pain on her face.
"Excuse me, are you Senior Jiang Mingshuang? This junior, Xiao Han, greets you, Senior!"
Jiang Mingshuang showed a hint of surprise, "You know me?"
Xiao Han nodded, "I overheard someone mention that a mother and daughter live at the thumb of Wuzhi Mountain."
She then looked at Jiang Yujiao, "This must be Sister Yujiao."
Jiang Yujiao nodded, then asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
Xiao Han gave a wry smile, "I fought with two demon cultivators and was seriously injured. I had no choice but to hide in Senior Jiang's territory to recuperate. Please forgive me!"
Jiang Mingshuang suddenly appeared in front of her and grabbed her wrist.
Xiao Han instinctively tried to dodge, but how could she possibly avoid a cultivator who was two major realms higher than her?
As soon as Jiang Mingshuang probed with her spiritual power, she sensed the surging blood and qi within Xiao Han's body and stopped.
"For the sake of us both being cultivators, you may continue to heal your wounds there."
After Jiang Mingshuang finished speaking, she took her daughter, opened the cave's protective barrier, and flew inside.
Jiang Yujiao turned around and saw Xiao Han smiling at her, so she returned the smile.
Xiao Han watched the two go inside, then slowly flew back into the cave.
Jiang's mother might be keeping an eye on her secretly, but she believed that Jiang Yujiao would definitely come out to see her again.
If Xiao Han knew that her current tactics were almost identical to Bai Li's experience, she would definitely exclaim: "Art imitates life."
Three days later, the fish started to bite.
Xiao Han saw Jiang Yujiao standing outside the cave and smiled as she welcomed her inside.
"Please forgive me, sister. My place is rather simple. Please forgive any shortcomings in my hospitality."
After saying that, he took out a small table and chairs from his storage bracelet and invited Jiang Yujiao to sit down in the bare cave.
Jiang Yujiao smiled and said, "Sister Han, don't bother. I just came to check on your injuries."
Xiao Han said gratefully, "Thanks to being able to recuperate here in peace, my injuries have recovered a lot."
Jiang Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that your injuries have healed. This chaotic place is indeed not peaceful; cultivators often get injured. Before..."
She was about to say that Bai Li had previously recuperated here.
However, remembering that her mother did not support her relationship with Bai Li, she stopped talking.
Then they changed the subject and talked to Xiao Han about other things, asking her why a True God Realm cultivator would dare to run around in this chaotic place.
Xiao Han immediately sighed and said that she had only come here to look for something.
As for what it is, she won't say, and who would bother to ask?
The two chatted for a while longer, and then it became clear that Jiang Yujiao was about to leave.
Xiao Han took out a jade slip and handed it to Jiang Yujiao.
"If your sister gets bored at home, she can watch this; it's quite interesting."
Jiang Yujiao accepted the jade slip.
The next moment, a figure appeared in front of the cave.
Immediately, the jade slip in Jiang Yujiao's hand fell into the hands of Jiang's mother.
