My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 268: Chapter 267: The Possibility of Having a Child

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zuo reluctantly put on the Mist.

He had to be careful now.

He didn’t want to run into Su Qi here. It wouldn’t do even if she only saw him wearing the Mist.

Back in the Celestial Tribulation Space, he’d had Jian Shisan helping to conceal him, and even then, he hadn’t been able to completely escape the repercussions.

Let alone now.

Then, holding the coin, Jiang Zuo began to search for the Blood Demon’s location.

This wasn’t an ordinary Blood Demon. It must have fused with one of the Dream People.

Completely fusing with one of the Dream People was extremely rare and equally dangerous. The slightest misstep would mean death for both of them.

Statistically, not even one in ten thousand could fuse with a Dream Person. And among those who could, not even one in ten thousand would succeed.

To put it another way, out of a hundred million living beings, it was almost impossible to find a single one who could successfully fuse with a Dream Person.

But the fusion had its benefits, namely the ability to travel freely between reality and the Dream Realm.

The higher their Cultivation, the fewer the restrictions. Even someone like Mo Yan, a specialized Dream Nightmare Cultivator, wouldn’t be able to do that, even if he one day reached the Great Success stage of his Nightmare Cultivation. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Traveling freely between the Dream Realm and reality, they could use any dream as a springboard to appear in any corner of the world. It was an ability so freakishly overpowered it was absurd.

However, Jiang Zuo had been able to do the same in his past life, using his own methods.

Otherwise, how could he have hunted the Dream People to the point where they had nowhere to run and nowhere to hide?

But this Blood Demon definitely couldn’t travel freely between the Dream Realm and reality yet. Otherwise, it would have fled long ago. Why would it still be here?

The Blood Demon was staying here, so it was clearly up to no good. It was probably planning to invade someone’s dreams.

Following the coin’s guidance, Jiang Zuo soon arrived in front of a villa. Fortunately, it wasn’t close to Jingyue’s villa, so he was unlikely to run into Su Qi.

This villa was also on Holy Land grounds, likely the residence of other Holy Land Disciples.

The Array here was ordinary, so Jiang Zuo simply ignored it.

When Jiang Zuo entered, he saw two Holy Land Disciples sitting inside.

He had been inside for a moment before they finally reacted.

"Who... who are you?"

Jiang Zuo looked at them and said, "Have your minds been ensnared by a nightmare? Is the mental fortitude of Holy Land Disciples really this low?"

’Although that fused Blood Demon and Dream Person might be of a higher level, for Cultivators, they can’t even put up basic resistance. Their self-awareness isn’t even fully intact. They’re truly pathetic.’

’At the Dream Person’s current level, they should be fine as long as they wake up.’

’In fact, the people Jiang Zuo knew were a bit lacking in some areas, but their mental fortitude was excellent. Even those few from the Perception Department wouldn’t be taken down so easily.’

’However, once their Dream Realm is devoured, no one can escape the fate of being captured.’

Jiang Zuo didn’t pay the two of them much mind. They were just Tier One Cultivators, after all.

It was a given that a Tier Two Cultivator wouldn’t consider a Tier One a threat, to say nothing of how Tier Four and Tier Five Cultivators viewed them. They could basically be ignored.

Asking a Tier Five Cultivator to take a Tier One seriously was simply asking too much.

Jiang Zuo walked over to the two women and knocked them out effortlessly. Because their consciousness was muddled, their reactions were a beat too slow.

They collapsed without a shred of suspense.

Jiang Zuo looked at one of the female disciples, then reached out and touched the spot between her eyebrows. He wasn’t trying to enter her dreams, but to inscribe a Sealing Rune.

’The Dream Person inside isn’t a high level. It’s impossible for it to escape my Seal.’

’Unless they’re hiding their true strength.’

’Otherwise, they can just wait for me to go in and slaughter them.’

Sure enough, the moment the Seal appeared, the female disciple’s body began to glow red, and a figure shot out from within her.

The instant the figure appeared, Jiang Zuo drew Cold Moon and slashed.

The figure then fully materialized—it was indeed a Blood Demon. However, it was struck by Cold Moon the moment it appeared.

BOOM! The Blood Demon was sent flying, severely wounded.

’A Tier Three Blood Demon? Did it fall back to Tier Two from the heavy toll of fusing with a Dream Person?’ Jiang Zuo discerned its Cultivation level the moment he saw it.

"Who... who in the world are you?" the Blood Demon asked, struggling to its feet. It was looking for a chance to escape.

When it saw Jiang Zuo, it naturally recognized him as the man from the Dream Realm. But it had never imagined that this person would actually track it down, and so quickly at that.

Shifting through the Dream Realm was supposed to leave no trace in reality. Almost no one could track Dream People in the physical world.

And yet, this man had done just that.

If it hadn’t been so weak and short on time, it would have already escaped into another Dream Realm.

Jiang Zuo said, "I don’t have time to waste talking. One fused one, plus the one from before... two should be enough."

With that, Jiang Zuo moved. The commotion here could easily alert Su Qi and the others. He had to end this quickly.

Seeing Jiang Zuo attack, the Blood Demon naturally tried to flee.

But how could it possibly escape? In its current state, it couldn’t enter the Dream Realm directly; the restrictions were too severe.

Soon, the Blood Demon was forced to engage Jiang Zuo.

Meanwhile, at Jingyue Villa, Su Qi and the others quickly received an alert about abnormal energy fluctuations.

Su Qi looked at Jingyue. "An enemy attack?"

Jingyue shook her head and immediately stood up. "Let’s go check it out. I think I sense the aura of a Blood Demon."

Su Qi and Qing Lian froze. A Blood Demon? It couldn’t be the one that had just escaped, could it?

No one could be sure, but they had to go and see.

"See? If I were pregnant, doing things like this would be so inconvenient," Su Qi sighed as they traveled. She had been thinking about whether or not to have a child recently.

Qing Lian smiled from the side. "Senior Sister, forget about whether it’s convenient for fighting. Do you think Brother Jiang would let his pregnant wife run around like this?"

Jingyue, rushing ahead, added, "You’d be hearing talk of divorce again."

"Then what do you think I should do? I can’t just not have one, can I? I’ll need to take a leave of absence for a year or two. Have the baby first, then figure out the rest," Su Qi said.

Jingyue said, "It’s not that difficult. Your husband knows you’re a Cultivator now, and he hasn’t had any negative reactions."

"That makes things much simpler. You can just go to the Holy Land for advanced training for a year or two. Have your husband accompany you, and you can have the baby while you’re there."

Su Qi paused. That seemed plausible. Both the Saintess and any Candidacy Saintess were required to undergo advanced training. Each had to study according to the standards set for a Saintess.

Cultivation, knowledge, and deportment—they were all held to a certain standard.

’This current Saintess is an absolute disgrace.’

’The last one had her shortcomings, but at least she was more presentable than the current one. This one live-streams every day, gathers fans, and puts herself in the public eye. She doesn’t act like a Saintess at all.’

’All those old fossils in the Holy Land are tearing their hair out over her, frustrated that she’s not living up to her potential.’

But that wasn’t important. What mattered was that Su Qi realized she really could have a child.

As soon as this business with the grotto-heaven was over, she decided she would talk to Jiang Zuo about moving to the Holy Land for a year or two to have a baby.

Then they’d be a family of three.

Before Su Qi could finish her thoughts, they had already arrived at the location of the energy fluctuations.

Jingyue stopped abruptly. "The Array hasn’t been broken, but there are signs of a fight inside."

Qing Lian said, "They might be injured. I’ll go in first and take a look."

With that, Qing Lian cautiously headed for the room, while Su Qi and Jingyue also approached with care.
