My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Seeking Revenge on the Qins

After hanging up, Jiang Zuo began to wonder which informant would be suitable.

They wouldn’t actually need to stick close to Su Qi; just knowing what was going on inside would be enough.

This would allow him to ensure Su Qi’s safety while he was busy capturing the Yongxi.

Su Qi had been away on business for so long without any incidents, which proved she wasn’t a Vase—she had some real strength.

But he couldn’t shake the feeling, like a mother who insists you’re cold even when you’re not.

Jiang Zuo was convinced his wife would be in danger, and there was nothing he could do to change his mind.

After all, the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit had spooked him. He refused to let Su Qi become Jiu Xi, even if they were the same person.

After a moment of thought, Jiang Zuo pinged Fairy Mo Yan in the group chat: "Do you have the contact info for that Black-robed Demon Cultivator?"

The first person to see the message was, naturally, Liuyue Xue. Mo Yan was still daydreaming about how to use her Nightmare Space to get revenge on Witch Dan Xue.

Liuyue Xue shook Mo Yan and showed her the message.

Mo Yan froze when she saw it, then looked nervously at Liuyue Xue. "Did Boss Po Xiao change his mind?"

Liuyue Xue ignored Mo Yan. She’d passed on the message; whether Mo Yan replied or not wasn’t her problem.

Mo Yan typed back cautiously, "Boss, why are you looking for the Black-robed Demon Cultivator?"

Jiang Zuo stared at the screen. ’Explaining would be such a hassle,’ he thought, so he just replied, "Don’t want to explain."

Mo Yan’s eyebrow twitched. Even though she was trying her best to get used to it, she still found Po Xiao incredibly arrogant.

In the end, Mo Yan still provided the contact info. As Demon Cultivator Mo Yan, she was quite "prominent" among other Demon Cultivators and had contact information for most of them.

She was a social butterfly in the group chat, to say nothing of how she was with other Demon Cultivators.

After sending the contact info, Mo Yan said to Liuyue Xue, "Let’s fly back. It’s on me—I’ll hire someone to fly us with Sword Control."

You know how despicable that Black-robed Demon Cultivator is. What if he steals my Nightmare Space? Master said this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!" freewebnøvel.coɱ

Liuyue Xue stared down at her phone, ignoring Mo Yan.

Mo Yan’s expression shifted, and she threatened, "If you don’t call someone for me, I’ll tell everyone that you, the great ice queen, used your pretty little butt last night to—"

BOOM!!!

Before Mo Yan could finish, she was sent flying. All that remained was her miserable shriek and an icy-faced Liuyue Xue, holding the Heaven-Breaking Spear.

A hint of fury seemed to linger in her eyes.

Xiao Xiaomo and the others shook their heads from the sidelines. With Chi Xue Child not around, they had no idea who Mo Yan would even call for help.

Meanwhile, Chu Qing charged out, brandishing her Thunder Mark Hammer. She quite enjoyed hitting people, too.

Everyone: "..."

This was going to end in murder. Chu Qing was also a Tier Two Cultivator, with a Cultivation no lower than Mo Yan’s.

Jiang Zuo ordered some food and then sat in the restaurant to call the Black-robed Demon Cultivator.

The person on the other end answered with a gentle voice, "Which Fellow Daoist is this? Is there something you need?"

’His business etiquette is decent enough,’ Jiang Zuo thought, then said, "This is Po Xiao."

The person on the other end seemed to freeze for a second. Then the Black-robed Demon Cultivator gave an awkward laugh and continued, "Oh, it’s Fellow Daoist Po Xiao. What can I do for you, Fellow Daoist?"

In truth, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator didn’t want to receive this call at all. If he ever found out who leaked his number, he would murder them. Of all people, why did it have to be Po Xiao?

Didn’t they know he’d been terrified of Po Xiao lately?

Jiang Zuo didn’t pay it much mind and asked directly, "A cave dwelling has opened in the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range. You’ll be going, I assume?"

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator didn’t hide anything. "Yes, I plan to head in over the next couple of days. After all, there aren’t many restrictions, so it would be a waste not to go."

Jiang Zuo asked curiously, "So there are restrictions?"

"There are, but they mostly affect those at Tier Five and above. Even those at Tier Five Peak will be somewhat restricted," the Black-robed Demon Cultivator replied.

’Below Tier Six, then. It’s certainly possible the Yongxi came from inside,’ he thought.

Then Jiang Zuo added, "You’re a businessman, right? I have a job for you. Interested?"

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator screamed ’no’ internally, but he could only force a smile. "Please, Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, feel free to ask. I’ll certainly help if I can."

"People from the Holy Land will also be going to the cave dwelling. I need you to keep an eye on their movements. Nothing too detailed, just let me know if anything unusual happens," Jiang Zuo said. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator didn’t hesitate. "That’s not a problem. There’s only one entrance, and it’s not that large inside. Besides, the powerful Demon Cultivator who discovered the cave is opening it to the public, so most people will probably be traveling together."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator was actually quite relieved. It was such a simple task. If it had been something more difficult, he would have been miserable.

The main reason was that his past encounter with Po Xiao had been so terrifying that it was still unforgettable.

He shivered just thinking about it.

Jiang Zuo was quite satisfied with the Black-robed Demon Cultivator. "And the price?"

"One Fifth-Grade Spirit Stone." He regretted the words as soon as they left his mouth. He had actually wanted to say he’d do it for free.

But old habits die hard, especially professional ones.

Just as he was about to correct himself, Jiang Zuo agreed, "No problem. I’ll give it to you when I get there."

Oh well. Since it had come to this, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator naturally wouldn’t say anything more.

As for why he needed to watch the Holy Land’s movements, he didn’t ask. He did have a shred of professional ethics, after all.

He just had a few bad habits. Then again, one of those habits had nearly gotten him killed, but it was hard to change.

With that, Jiang Zuo ended the call. Now, he could finally relax.

If anything unusual happened, he would immediately give up on the Yongxi and go find Su Qi.

The things he did just to get a decent meal. It wasn’t easy.

Thinking back to those years... no, better not. The moment he did, his mind would be filled with Jiu Xi. And thinking of Jiu Xi now gave him a bizarrely conflicting feeling, a mix of revulsion and fondness that was simply agonizing.

He still didn’t know how to make it up to Su Qi.

He had killed her so many times, for so many years. How much pain must she have gone through?

Jiang Zuo sighed. ’Better to eat first,’ he thought. ’I still have to go make some money this afternoon.’

「In the Demon Cultivation Realm, within the Celestial Cloud Mountain Range.」

A Spirit Beast, similar to a rhinoceros but much larger and more majestic, was running about joyfully.

It was free! Finally free! After so many years, it had finally endured.

Those damn beasts from the Qin Family had actually kept it in captivity! In this life, it hated those with the surname Qin the most. It would capture every single one it saw.

Once its strength recovered, it would raise countless people named Qin and feed on them to avenge the countless years of its suffering.

Oh right, and that other guy. What was his surname again?

Fine, it didn’t know his surname, but that person... he actually, actually, *actually* carved its flesh and roasted its leg! Unforgivable!

If not for the sudden disappearance of the "thing" shrouding the cave dwelling, it definitely wouldn’t have been able to regain its freedom.

But that didn’t matter anymore. It was free now. After recovering its strength, it planned to sow its wild oats first, then go settle the score with the Qins.

Yes, just settling scores with the Qins would be enough. No need to look for those three brutes.

The Spirit Beast thought with heroic self-assurance, its entire future already planned out. It believed its future would be incomparably bright.
