My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 267: Chapter 266: Blood Demon, Dream People?

Jiang Zuo had already entered and spoken. There was no way he was letting it escape.

The Dream Person tried to flee, but Jiang Zuo instantly appeared before it. With a point of his finger, he directly unleashed his Innate Two Qi.

And just like that, the Dream Person was sealed.

Jiang Zuo’s Innate Qi could easily Seal those of the same rank; only those of a higher rank could break free. This Dream Person, being weaker than weak, naturally stood no chance of escape.

Jiang Zuo could wield the strength of a Great Power within a Dream Realm, but this particular realm was too fragile. It was so weak that using his true power would cause it to collapse.

If the realm collapsed, it would mean the host’s mind would shatter. Jiang Zuo remembered the job he’d been hired for and naturally wouldn’t let that happen.

Therefore, he could only use his own personal power to restrain the Dream Person and prevent it from using Dream Power.

This Dream Person didn’t even have a basic form; it was just a mass of blackness.

Jiang Zuo stared at it, his expression flat. "Talk."

The Dream Person looked at Jiang Zuo in terror. It never imagined someone could act with such impunity within a Dream Realm.

’No, I have to escape,’ it thought. ’I have to get this information back.’

’This person isn’t a Nightmare Cultivator. He’s definitely not.’

’Even if a Nightmare Cultivator could kill us, they wouldn’t use a technique like this. To restrain me from thin air... this isn’t their method.’

Jiang Zuo looked at it. "Don’t bother thinking about escape. Do you have accomplices?"

Jiang Zuo didn’t like leaving loose ends. When he solved a problem, he made sure to pull it out by the roots.

The Dream Person looked at Jiang Zuo. "Since you know of the Ancient Dream Realm, you should know what we’re capable of. Once the great gate opens, the entire world will kneel at our feet.

The Dream Realm is omnipresent. Wherever there is thought, there is a Dream Realm. You can’t stand against us."

Jiang Zuo said nothing more. He could always try his own methods to get the answers he wanted.

’If I can’t get any answers, then simply fortifying the threshold to her Dream Realm will suffice.’

However, just as Jiang Zuo was about to make his move, a streak of blood-red light tore through the Dream Realm and shot toward him.

Jiang Zuo stood perfectly still, letting the light rush at him.

But just as the light was about to hit him, it swerved, striking the Dream Person behind him instead. Then, it carried the Dream Person away, fleeing the Dream Realm.

Jiang Zuo didn’t move an inch, simply letting them go. Only after the Dream Realm had closed did he murmur in surprise, "A Blood Demon?"

Yes, he had just sensed the aura of a Blood Demon. freewebnσvel.cѳm

The reason he hadn’t intervened, however, was that he couldn’t cross between Dream Realms. He might be invincible in this particular one, but with his current Cultivation being restricted, he couldn’t give chase across the dreamscape.

That was why he let the Dream Person go.

’So that I can find it later.’

Now that the Dream Person was gone, Jiang Zuo turned to look at the rift.

The rift was already closing, but to be safe, Jiang Zuo added a few more Seals to it. He then constructed a formidable wall around the girl’s Dream Realm, sealing it off from anything harmful.

As for why a rift to the Ancient Dream Realm had appeared in her Dream Realm, Jiang Zuo didn’t know. Perhaps the girl was a suitable host, or perhaps it was a random occurrence.

Having done all this, Jiang Zuo left immediately.

There was no longer any reason to stay.

In the room, everyone was watching Jiang Zuo and the young girl. At first, they were extremely worried, but the moment Jiang Zuo’s hand touched the girl, she, who had been struggling to wake up, suddenly grew much calmer. While her expression didn’t relax completely, she had at least stopped thrashing about.

They exchanged glances. They didn’t know what had happened, but it seemed this man really knew what he was doing.

As time went on, they saw the girl had stopped struggling completely, and her expression was slowly relaxing.

Everyone’s faces lit up with joy. The girl, who had been fitfully awake for so long, had finally fallen into a peaceful sleep.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo opened his eyes. He withdrew his hand and turned to the girl’s father. "She’ll be fine now."

With that said, Jiang Zuo strode away, ignoring the couple who were thanking him profusely.

This matter was unimportant to Jiang Zuo. He now needed to find those two Dream People.

He had dared to let them go, so he was naturally confident he could get them back.

He did not like Dream People.

They had once invaded his Dream Realm, making him furious.

Nothing short of wiping out their entire race and making them die in terror would be enough to quell his rage.

Jiang Zuo’s departure left everyone in the room stunned. They didn’t even have time to try and curry favor with him.

They were discovering that these powerful individuals seemed completely unwilling to associate with them.

Still, they were relieved. She was finally okay.

At that moment, the girl’s mother worriedly asked, "What if he was lying to us? What if our daughter never wakes up?"

The father froze. "Don’t say such things. I’ll call my friend and let him know."

The girl slept for three days, causing her family endless worry. But when she woke up three days later, she had forgotten almost everything that had happened.

The doctor called it selective amnesia.

The Nightmare had terrified her, and to protect herself, she had chosen to forget.

The doctor wasn’t wrong. The girl had indeed chosen to forget on her own.

Aside from his initial glance, Jiang Zuo hadn’t looked at her again, so he certainly hadn’t tampered with her memories.

But for her family, this outcome was the best they could have hoped for.

But that was all a postscript. Right now, Jiang Zuo was in a taxi, holding a coin as he began his search across the city.

He glanced at the time. It was almost noon. He only had the afternoon, so he needed to hurry. Any later and Su Qi would be calling him.

The payment for the job had also come through. He could start thinking about buying a house now.

"Where to now, buddy? Straight ahead?" the driver suddenly asked.

"Turn left," Jiang Zuo said, holding the coin.

"Look, buddy, I don’t mind driving around the city, but don’t have me go anywhere too remote. And there are some places I just can’t go," the taxi driver said.

Jiang Zuo didn’t reply. He just looked out the window. ’We’re almost there,’ he thought.

Not long after, Jiang Zuo told the driver to stop.

He hadn’t arrived at his destination. Instead, they had reached a high-end villa district. This was Jingyue’s territory.

If they drove any further, he might run into someone he knew.

Jiang Zuo suddenly found it rather exasperating. The Blood Demon was surprisingly good at finding places to hide—to think it would choose here.

After paying and getting out of the car, Jiang Zuo took out his phone and called Su Qi.

"Huh, honey? Did you come home for lunch and not see me?" Su Qi’s surprised voice came through the phone.

When Jiang Zuo was working, he usually didn’t come home for lunch. This had nothing to do with them fighting.

"No, I just wanted to ask what groceries we need me to pick up on my way back." Hearing Su Qi’s words, Jiang Zuo’s heart sank.

He had been trying to find out if Su Qi was home.

It seemed she wasn’t.

Sure enough, Su Qi said, "Just buy whatever you like to eat. Hmm, on second thought, let me know when you go shopping, and I’ll go with you. I’m at my senior sister’s place right now. Something happened, but it’s nothing serious. I just came over to join in on the excitement."

Now Jiang Zuo’s heart went completely cold. Su Qi was right here, in the immediate vicinity.
