My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 337: Chapter 336: Being Romantic Can Increase Cultivation?

On the way back, Su Qi walked beside Jiang Zuo. "Were you about to make a move back there?" she asked. "Did you think you could handle it just because you have some experience?"

Her voice was low, and she sounded unhappy.

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "No."

Su Qi looked at him and insisted, "Yes, you were. If I hadn’t been there, you would have already made your move."

"..."

’She might be right,’ he thought. He didn’t like to drag things out; it was better to solve problems directly. On the Elemental Level, he wasn’t intimidated by those Elemental Spirits.

’One or seven, it made little difference to him.’

Finally, Su Qi’s voice dropped to a whisper. "Can’t you ever think about me?"

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi in confusion.

"You have a wife at home. If you act so recklessly, she’ll worry. She’ll be scared.

Can’t you spare a thought for her feelings?

If something happened to you, what would she do?

She would be sad and heartbroken," Su Qi said, her head lowered.

Jiang Zuo was a little taken aback. "But don’t you do dangerous things like this when you’re on assignment?"

Su Qi retorted anxiously, "I’m careful! I always remember that my husband is waiting for me at home, so I make sure I come back in one piece."

Jiang Zuo looked at her. "But how do you know that I’m not careful?"

Su Qi gritted her teeth, staring at him. For a moment, she was at a loss for words. She was clearly furious, her eyes blazing with anger.

Seeing his placid gaze, Su Qi turned and stormed off.

Jiang Zuo froze. ’Only now did he realize that Su Qi was genuinely angry.’

’And... it seemed they were having a fight.’

’A fight... This was the first one since his rebirth, wasn’t it?’

’Speaking of which, did he really know his limits? Because of his past life, he didn’t believe these low-level threats could ever truly harm him. In his mind, even if he couldn’t win, escape would be effortless.’

’He had nothing to be wary of.’

’So, did that kind of confidence count as knowing his limits?’

’Jiang Zuo didn’t know how to define it, but he was sure Su Qi wouldn’t think so.’

He decided not to overthink it. ’Better to make up with Su Qi first.’

By the time Jiang Zuo snapped out of his thoughts, Su Qi was already a good distance away.

Just as he was about to go after her, Su Qi suddenly stopped in the distance. He saw her take out her phone and start tapping on it.

Jiang Zuo didn’t understand what she was doing. But a moment later, his phone buzzed.

He took it out and saw it was a message from Su Qi: "Now that you’ve married me, you’re not even going to try to make up? I’ve walked this far, why haven’t you chased after me yet?"

Jiang Zuo paused. Su Qi was still standing there. ’She must be waiting for me.’

Jiang Zuo immediately hurried over. When he reached her side, she pointedly turned her head to look away, clearly still sulking.

Jiang Zuo said nothing. He simply put away his mask and took her hand.

She let him, and he subconsciously remarked, "I thought you were going to shake my hand away."

The moment he said it, Su Qi yanked her hand free and started walking ahead again on her own, without even sparing him a glance.

She seemed even angrier now.

Jiang Zuo: "..."

Once again, Jiang Zuo caught up to her and took her hand.

This time, he held on tighter. She flinched, but her attempt to pull away was half-hearted and failed.

And so, he walked on, holding her hand.

Neither of them spoke.

After they had walked for a while, Jiang Zuo finally broke the silence. "I may be reckless, but I know I have a wife."

Su Qi didn’t say anything.

Jiang Zuo continued, "I know someone worries about me and cares for me, so I will always come home safely.

No matter how hard or arduous it gets, nothing can stop me from coming back. Even if I have to risk everything, even if I’m driven to madness, I will find my way back to your side."

As soon as he finished, Su Qi pursed her lips. "So dramatic. Who asked you to go mad? Who asked you to risk everything?"

Her words didn’t cause any change in Jiang Zuo’s expression. His face remained as calm as a still lake.

Finally, he said, "I’ve told you I love you before, haven’t I?"

Su Qi replied, a hint of her earlier frustration still in her voice, "You have. But I don’t want to hear it right now."

Jiang Zuo said, "I love you."

Su Qi lowered her head and whispered, "I love you too."

******

"You didn’t even know to chase after me when I was angry. I have no idea how you managed to win me over in the first place. It must have been too easy, so now you think I’m cheap," Su Qi said, holding Jiang Zuo’s hand as they walked barefoot on the beach.

All her anger was gone now, replaced by a slight, lingering complaint.

"So the world is cheap, too?" Jiang Zuo asked.

Su Qi replied without thinking, "How is the world cheap? I’m talking about me! Your wife! The one you don’t even try to placate when she’s angry."

"But you are my world," Jiang Zuo said. "And when my world gets angry, I get a little dazed for a moment."

Su Qi froze, then stopped to look at him. A moment later, she turned away and continued walking.

’He had no idea what was going through her mind.’

’But he really had been a bit surprised back then and had stopped to think, which was why he was slow to chase after her.’

"But I’m still worried. I shouldn’t have gotten you involved in this," Su Qi said after a while.

Jiang Zuo moved closer to her. "Look at my shoulders."

Su Qi was confused. "???"

"I can shoulder the heavens," Jiang Zuo said. "Trust me. As long as you’re here, I’ll be here. Nothing can crush me."

Su Qi looked at him blankly. "I don’t want to hear that."

Jiang Zuo: "..., I won’t be reckless in the future. I’ll think things through before I act. I won’t put myself in danger. I’ll be careful."

Su Qi smiled. "You said it. You’re not allowed to be reckless."

As she spoke, she threw her arms around him in a tight hug.

Jiang Zuo felt a bit resigned. ’Having a wife was a lot different from how things used to be.’

’Though, he’d never felt like he was being reckless in the first place.’

’This doesn’t count as lying to her, does it?’

After he had placated Su Qi, they finally began to talk about the issue with the Elements.

"Did you beat up that Elemental Spirit?" Su Qi asked.

Jiang Zuo looked up at the sky, admiring the view.

"So it really was our fault?" Su Qi asked in disbelief.

Jiang Zuo said calmly, "How would I know? A fight broke out. I wasn’t paying attention to who was who."

Su Qi: "..."

’How could her husband be such a terrible liar?’ she thought.

’The number of people in the entire Magic Realm who could do something like that could be counted on one hand, couldn’t they?’

’Should she be proud of him?’

In the end, Su Qi could only ask, "Is there a solution?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head, then nodded. "I think beating them all up should solve it."

Su Qi: "...I’ll talk to my master and see if we can ask my martial uncle to make a trip over."

’Jian Shisan is a Tier Seven Daoist. For him, solving this would only take a single sword strike.’

’But Jian Shisan was in the middle of Crossing the Tribulation, so he couldn’t come.’

’Su Qi probably didn’t know that yet.’

Just as Su Qi was about to make the call, she suddenly froze.

Jiang Zuo frowned as well. Su Qi’s Cultivation was fluctuating—she was another step closer to Crossing the Tribulation.

’No, that’s not right. She’s about to face her tribulation. It’s going to happen in the next few days.’

Su Qi looked astonished. "How can this be?"

Jiang Zuo was dumbfounded. ’Her Cultivation rose again?’

’Can you really raise your Cultivation just by being romantic?’
