Chapter 4

Gu Yiping’s gaze was strange as she looked at the first man who had entered inside her room.

The hem of the black Daoist robe covered her thighs. Her snow-white and slender legs were elegantly pressed together.

She placed her hands on her thighs and tugged at the edge of her skirt tightly. From the corner of her eye, she could see how eager Jiang Hong was.

Her thoughts were not groundless.

After all, after interacting with Jiang Hong for a while, she had already realized that Jiang Hong’s attitude towards her was very different from her previous life.

It was hard not to wonder if he had discovered something.

‘Could it be that… he is the same as me?’

In an instant, this thought flashed across Gu Yiping’s mind.

If there was a precedent like her, then it was not impossible for another one to appear.

However, she did not have any evidence now, so she could not ask directly.

It was fine if it wasn’t true, but if it was…

“In short, I should try to get along with him.”

Then, she would find an opportunity to see through the truth… Gu Yiping silently made arrangements in her heart.

After making the decision, she took a step forward and picked up a cushion. She placed it in front of Jiang Hong and sat opposite him. She cleared her throat and said coldly,

“I’ll be honest with you. Actually, I didn’t call you in at all.”

“Gulu~”

The rumbling sound of a stomach interrupted Gu Yiping.

Jiang Hong scratched the back of his head, embarrassed.

“I’m a little hungry. I’m sorry for making a fool of myself.”

It was more than just making a fool out of yourself. Which Foundation Establishment disciple would be like you?

Everyone knew that when a cultivator reached the Golden Core Realm, they would officially abstain from eating. Whether they wanted to eat or not depended on their mood. As a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, they still needed to eat occasionally to replenish their energy. However, Gu Yiping was willing to bet that the stomachs of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators would not rumble even if they were hungry… Gu Yiping cursed silently and immediately changed her words.

“In that case, You should go eat first. I won’t…”

“That would be too impolite, but since you’re so kind and gracious, if I leave now, it will seem like I’m not giving you any face. So I’ll have to trouble you. Oh, I’m not very picky. I’ll eat anything.” Jiang Hong licked his lips.

Gu Yiping: …

‘When did I say that I was going to treat you with great hospitality? Can you not act so friendly with me?’ Gu Yiping’s expressionless face twitched slightly. She did not know how to respond to this unexpected action.

After a long time, she finally said something.

“I’ve already stopped eating a long time ago, so I don’t have any ingredients at home. So…”

“It’s okay. I brought it.”

Jiang Hong quickly took out a pigeon and various fresh green vegetables from the small cloth bag at his waist.

So, as a cultivator, you have these things in your spirit treasure bag?

Gu Yiping looked at the metal cage and the pigeon that were chirping. She pondered for a moment before picking up the pigeon and the vegetables with a complicated expression.

“…Wait a moment.”

With that, Gu Yiping brought the ingredients to the kitchen next door.

However, in a house that had not been used for many years, the ground and the stove were covered in a thick layer of dust.

Even when she was in the Qi Refinement Realm, she had not used this place much. Now, the first time she used it to cook was for that devil. Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable and goosebumps quickly covered her entire body.

“Eat? Why don’t you eat yourself?”

Gu Yiping angrily threw the pigeon and vegetables in her hand onto the stove.

The pigeon was so frightened that it kept cooing, making people feel annoyed.

Gu Yiping glared at it. “If you dare to make any more noise, I’ll make soup out of you.”

Being glared at by this cold gaze, the pigeon immediately stopped cooing.

It was as if it really understood that the other party was a woman who would really do what she said.

Seeing that the pigeon no longer made any sound, Gu Yiping bared her teeth in disdain. “If only that bastard was as obedient as you, and he still wants to eat my cooking? I’ll poison him to death someday. Wait, poison! That’s right, I can poison him.”

Gu Yiping clapped her hands and her eyes lit up.

Wasn’t this the perfect time to poison Jiang Hong?

According to the timeline, Jiang Hong had just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage not long ago. Whether it was in terms of physique or spiritual energy, he was far inferior to her.

As long as she controlled the dosage just enough to make a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator half-dead, in this way, even if something unexpected happened, even if she ate it by mistake, she, who had a Golden Core cultivation base, would be fine. After that, she could also take the opportunity to frame Shen Xingjian for this matter.

More importantly, she could appreciate Jiang Hong’s sickly appearance. Just the thought of it was exciting.

It was another perfect plan to kill three birds with one stone.

Gu Yiping immediately rolled up her sleeves.

After a while, smoke rose from the chimney.

The rich and fragrant smell of pigeon soup quickly filled the entire room.

He looked at the delicious pigeon soup in the pot.

The corners of Gu Yiping’s mouth gradually curved into a beautiful smile. Cooking was not that difficult. The color and fragrance are good, but it was just that it was very poisonous.

“Heh, let me admire your final struggle, Great Demon King.”

Gu Yiping could already imagine Jiang Hong rolling on the bed in pain. Just the thought of it was exciting.

…

[Eldest Senior Sister is making soup for you.]

[Constitution+0.2]

[Current Constitution: 20.03]

As expected, once good things came, there was no stopping them.

While Gu Yiping was busy, Jiang Hong had also successfully obtained attribute points for free. His physique had also successfully reached the Golden Core Realm. Any poison effective against Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and below would be ineffective against him.

Jiang Hong could clearly feel the qualitative leap in his strength.

When he eats the dish later, if he could gain more attribute points, his strength would definitely soar even more.

Just thinking about it made Jiang Hong excited.

“So, what are you doing here?” Jiang Hong’s gaze fell outside the window.

He saw a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes leaning against the wall. He held two branches with both hands, revealing his head between them. Who else could it be but Wang Han?

“You still have the cheek to say that.” Wang Han gritted his teeth and said, “I was kind enough to bring you along to flirt with Eldest Senior Sister, but you’re too good. It turns out that you’ve already succeeded, but you dared to say that you’re not familiar with each other. Now, that fellow Shen Xingjian is hunting me down all over the entire sect. I have a home that I can’t return to now, so you have to be responsible for me.”

“You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t spout nonsense. Besides, I’m really here to seek the Dao humbly.”

‘I would also get some free attribute points,’ Jiang Hong thought to himself.

“Oh, seeking Dao.” Wang Han, who was crawling on the wall, narrowed his eyes. “Where is Eldest Senior Sister?”

“In the kitchen.”

“What for?”

“Cooking.”

“Why is she cooking?”

“I’m hungry.”

“Don’t say anything. Our friendship is over.” Wang Han covered his face and cried bitterly.

Jiang Hong didn’t say anything, just quietly watching him act.

Soon, Wang Han stopped crying and said,

“However, on account of our friendship, if you don’t want to lose my friendship, think of a way to let me attend Eldest Senior Sister’s dinner. This way, I’ll let bygones be bygones for you lying to me. Not only that, I’ll also give you my sincerest blessings.”

“Then you should go back…” Just as Jiang Hong was about to finish speaking.

“I found him. It’s Wang Han.”

“F*ck, are you guys born in the year of the dog? How did you find me?”

After being discovered by Shen Xingjian’s lackeys, Wang Han had no choice but to flee.

No matter what, the reason why the other party became like this was more or less related to him.

Jiang Hong was about to go out and help him.

But the next second, a pleasant fragrance surged into his nose.

Gu Yiping returned with the pigeon soup.
