My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 336: Chapter 335: Understanding Su Qi’s Thoughts

"Wh-what is going on?" Su Qi was taken aback, seeing the world teeming with Elements.

"They’re just Elements from the Elemental Level. This place must be able to connect to it. It’s mentioned in the textbooks," Jiang Zuo said.

This place could indeed connect to the Elemental Level, which was how the Elements could so easily reach East Water Island.

Normally, it wasn’t so easy for Elements to cross over from the Elemental Level.

Even with the guidance of an Elemental Spirit, it wasn’t that easy.

Su Qi suppressed a girlish impulse. If she didn’t, her words would easily take on a coquettish tone.

Then everyone would see her relationship with Jiang Zuo. So, she adopted a serious tone and said, "I know it’s in the textbooks, but this isn’t what it’s normally like, right?

They seem to be hostile toward us."

Jiang Zuo wanted to say, ’Isn’t this perfectly normal?’

He was met with hostility every day and always found himself in trouble; not a single Element had ever been pleasant to him.

’Wouldn’t it be easier to just beat them all into submission?’

Shui Luo felt completely helpless. ’What are these two talking about?’

’Magic manuals? Textbooks?’

’Have these two only ever read textbooks?’

’But then again,’ she thought, ’they’re just here to go through the motions. The fact they even bothered to look at a textbook is already impressive.’

Finally, she nodded. "Yes, they’re hostile. For some reason, these Elements have started to hate us, so they’re planning to attack.

They will definitely attack within five days at most."

Jiang Zuo asked curiously, "What reason could make the Elements hostile? As far as I know, Elements aren’t capable of such hatred.

Elements are simple creatures. Unless they’re provoked excessively, the worst they’ll do is not respond to a Mage’s call."

Shui Luo sighed. "Some damn bastard went and beat up the Water Elemental Spirit.

If it was just a simple beating, that would be one thing, but they thrashed it to the point that it began to question its very existence, leaving it withdrawn and anxious."

At this, Hiller added, "East Water Island has the Seven Great Elemental Spirits. The Water Elemental Spirit supposedly went out to play and never came back.

The others went to look for it, but by the time they found the Water Elemental Spirit, it had already become withdrawn and had even started to fear humans.

When the other Elemental Spirits learned the reason, they were enraged. They refuse to trust humans anymore, not unless we hand over the ’heretic’ for them to destroy.

Otherwise, they’ll attack us."

"..." Hearing this, Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but feel that this story sounded a little familiar.

’Beating up an Elemental Spirit...’ The experience sounded awfully familiar.

Then Jiang Zuo remembered. He had beaten up an Elemental Spirit once, and it had fled.

’It couldn’t be that much of a coincidence, could it?’

’Is this my fault, too?’

’So I’m the real reason for this mission?’

Jiang Zuo wasn’t entirely sure. After all, he hadn’t seen the Water Elemental Spirit in question.

’But in this whole world, he was probably the only one who would dare to beat up an Element, right?’

’And even if someone else dared, could they even win against an Elemental Spirit?’

This was getting awkward.

Something occurred to Su Qi as well. She had only ever seen one Mage beat up an Element, and that was her husband.

’But my husband wouldn’t go that far, would he?’

Then Su Qi asked, "When did the Water Elemental Spirit go out?"

"About half a month ago," Shui Luo said.

The timing matched. ’Which means,’ she thought, ’my husband isn’t off the hook.’

At this point, Jiang Zuo asked, "Can’t you just find a powerful Cultivator to crush them?"

Shui Luo shook her head. "No, that won’t work. Elements are a blind spot for Cultivators. While this place is connected to the Elemental Level, we haven’t actually crossed into it.

This means we can’t attack them. Besides, that method wouldn’t solve the root problem. Once a war starts, endless Elements will pour out, and East Water Island will still face destruction.

Even closing the connection would be useless. Without the large-scale flow of Elements, East Water Island would be finished.

And even if we didn’t care about that, the seven Elemental Spirits could just open another gate. East Water Island would still be destroyed.

Right now, the best solution is to reconcile."

’Reconcile?’

’With what?’

Jiang Zuo didn’t think reconciliation was possible. If he was truly the cause, then it was even more impossible.

’If they really want me to solve it, then I’ll just have to beat the other Elemental Spirits until they can no longer function.’

’These guys have too much time on their hands and are just looking for trouble.’

’Without the Elemental Spirits instigating things, there probably wouldn’t be a problem here.’

’So, should I make my move?’

Jiang Zuo glanced at Su Qi.

Although Su Qi’s expression was calm, for some reason, he could read the other message written on her face: *Don’t you dare do anything reckless.*

Jiang Zuo: "..."

’Alright, so I have that kind of Skill too,’ he thought. Even though Su Qi didn’t show any outward concern, Jiang Zuo could see it clearly on her face.

’I guess I won’t do anything reckless, then.’

Neither Jiang Zuo nor Su Qi spoke. Shui Luo didn’t press them, but asked, "So, neither of you has a solution either?"

Su Qi nodded. "Yes. I’ll ask my master and the others. Perhaps they’ll have a solution."

At that, Jiang Zuo said, "Actually, there is another way. Find a Daoist. They could solve this problem easily."

After reaching Tier Seven and Entering Dao, one is no longer bound by basic power systems. Neither Elements nor Spiritual Qi can restrain such individuals. For them, there is no barrier between different kinds of power.

So, regardless of whether it’s a dispute involving Elements or Spiritual Qi, they can step in and resolve it.

He was also saying this for Su Qi’s benefit, to keep her from worrying too much.

Hearing Jiang Zuo’s words, Shui Luo was speechless. A Tier Seven Daoist? How could she possibly know an existence of that level?

Even if she did, she wouldn’t be able to persuade them to help. And even if she could persuade them, she could never afford the cost.

To people like them, Tier Seven was a transcendent state, far beyond worldly concerns.

It was like a Magic God.

A mere Magic Master like her asking a Magic God for help with such a matter? Wasn’t that a joke?

Jiang Zuo truly couldn’t understand Shui Luo’s thinking. ’It’s just a Tier Seven Daoist,’ he thought. ’Is it really that big a deal?’

Then, Shui Luo said, "That’s the gist of the situation. If you come up with a solution, let me know. If not, then just treat this as a vacation.

You can at least enjoy yourselves in peace for another three days."

With Shui Luo having said that, it was as good as asking them to leave.

Naturally, Su Qi and Jiang Zuo had no intention of staying any longer.

Besides, just as Shui Luo had said, they had learned most of what there was to know. There was no longer any point in them staying.

After escorting Jiang Zuo and his wife out, Hiller returned to Shui Luo’s side. She began, "My Lady, that man in the mask... he might not be an ordinary person. I just saw..."

She then recounted how Jiang Zuo had made the Elements retreat from him.

After listening, Shui Luo frowned. "That happened? So you’re saying he really might have a few tricks up his sleeve?"

Hiller nodded. "Yes."

But then Shui Luo shook her head again. "But their wariness is just that—wariness. Even if he intends to go to war with the Elements, what can one person do?

Besides, to solve the problem, one would have to go to the Elemental Level.

And anyone who can go to the Elemental Level and acts against the Elements there is essentially digging an unfillable hole for their own path in magic. It’s hard to say what the future consequences would be.

Would he really dare?"
