My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 345: Chapter 344: You Lack Manliness

Watching Jiang Zuo leave, Chu Qing’s father froze. What did he mean by that?

A kind reminder?

But he still couldn’t believe it. ’How could someone like him possibly save Chu Qing?’

’If he was that capable, why would he be a Loose Cultivator?’

’He could have been a core disciple at the Celestial Spirit Nine Peaks.’

Still, he looked at Chu Qing and ultimately decided to sit and watch.

When a person is desperate, they will cling to even the faintest sliver of hope, the tiniest bit of expectation, even for things they believe are impossible.

’What if?’

’What if a miracle happens?’

Just as the sky began to brighten, Jiang Zuo started setting things up around the edge of the island.

He was meticulous with every spot, ensuring there were no issues.

After setting up for a while, his phone rang.

He took it out and saw it was a call from his auntie.

The moment he answered, his auntie said, "I’ve already pulled some strings. Your wife’s tribulation is all sorted out. This time, I really went and—"

Jiang Zuo cut her off. "Su Qi won’t allow it."

Yue Xi: "..."

’She’d never met anyone like him. Did he have no respect for his elders? Was her pride worth nothing to him?’

’And just because you married my niece, you think you can be this arrogant?’

’I should have made things difficult for you back then. I would have shown you the might of a mother-in-law—no, the might of an auntie-in-law.’

In the end, Yue Xi said, "It will probably be tomorrow. Wake Su Qi up, then contact Shui Luo. If anything happens, call me anytime.

Oh, and you’ve really disappointed me.

You have no backbone."

After hanging up, Jiang Zuo completely ignored Yue Xi’s words. ’Jian Shisan is the one with no backbone.’

’If he had any, you, my dear elder, would probably have been married long ago.’

’I have countless times more backbone than Jian Shisan.’

’Jian Shisan has no backbone, and you still like him just fine.’

Jiang Zuo refused to believe his auntie didn’t have feelings for Jian Shisan. The two of them definitely liked each other.

One lacked courage, and the other was just being melodramatic.

Insisting on wasting their years away for nothing.

However, Jiang Zuo had no intention of getting involved. He couldn’t teach Jian Shisan anything; he’d been completely clueless when pursuing Su Qi himself, relying almost entirely on luck.

But luck was enough for him. He didn’t need to use his luck for anything else now—just taking care of Su Qi was all that mattered.

Especially that Broken Misfortune Coin. The moment he succeeded in Entering Dao, he would destroy it.

An ordinary person couldn’t do something like that right after Entering Dao, but he was certain he could.

Even Jian Shisan, at the Inquiry level, might not be able to pull it off.

Shaking his head, Jiang Zuo stopped thinking about these things.

He then went back to setting up the Array.

After working for half the day, Jiang Zuo suddenly heard a very rhythmic BGM.

He was a bit surprised. ’Someone’s playing that kind of thing out here?’

When he glanced back, he knew exactly who was responsible.

Jiang Zuo saw a group of people, glowing faintly, striding toward him with what they clearly thought were incredibly cool steps, all set to a rhythmic BGM.

He didn’t even have to guess. It was definitely Mo Yan and her group.

Jiang Zuo was at a complete loss for words when it came to these people.

He lowered his head and continued his work. If he spent too much time with them, he was afraid he’d be influenced.

"Boss Po Xiao, how were our steps just now?" Mo Yan asked excitedly as they reached Jiang Zuo. "I picked out that rhythm and choreography myself. We’re getting ready for the Cultivation talent show.

I even recorded a video just now and sent it to the organizers. They readily accepted!

There’s prize money if we win. If you have time, Boss Po Xiao, you can come and watch."

As Mo Yan was saying this, Chi Xue Child and the others stared at her with completely deadpan expressions.

’Since when was there a talent show?’

’Seriously, when will this person ever learn her lesson?’

’In any case, let’s just break her legs first.’

’Nothing more needs to be said.’

...

In the end, Mo Yan sat in a wheelchair, listening in on the others’ conversation.

That’s right. She’d brought the wheelchair herself.

This caused everyone who looked at her to feel a vein pop in their forehead.

"What? Can’t a Cultivator bring a wheelchair? Besides, my legs just happened to get broken, so I can use it. You guys want to get one too? I know the owner. I can get you a 30% discount if you buy in bulk. It’s super cheap," Mo Yan said with utmost sincerity.

Everyone: "..."

Liuyue Xue looked up at the sky, then tied the Heaven-Breaking Spear to Mo Yan’s back.

Then, she typed a message for Liu Yiyi to see: *Is there any Thunder Magic for sale here? I want to buy a day’s worth.*

Liu Yiyi replied, "I’ll make the call right now."

Mo Yan: "...Chi Xue Child—"

But before Mo Yan could finish, Chi Xue Child quickly scurried away. "I’m going to buy a popsicle."

’...Didn’t you just buy one?’ Then, Mo Yan turned to Liuyue Xue with a forced smile. "Liuyue Xue, I—"

BOOM! A clap of thunder roared, and a blinding bolt of lightning struck Mo Yan directly.

What followed was Mo Yan’s bloodcurdling scream.

Only then did Liu Yiyi turn to ask Jiang Zuo, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, my teacher wants to know if the Tribulation Crosser will be in any danger."

"Absolutely not," Jiang Zuo said as he finished setting another node. "Even if East Water Island crumbles to dust, the one crossing the tribulation will be fine. Even if she fails her tribulation, my Array can ensure her safety."

Liu Yiyi was stunned. ’Isn’t that an exaggeration?’

’People in the know understand this is to help East Water Island, but anyone who didn’t would think this was all for the Tribulation Crosser, right?’

’To absolutely protect the Tribulation Crosser... that really is an exaggeration. How lucky must this person be?’

She had just heard that her teacher paid a huge price to hire someone for this tribulation. Wasn’t this all backward?

Shouldn’t other people be paying a huge price to have this opportunity?

It was a pity that no one in their group was advancing from the second to the third tier yet, or else they wouldn’t have to let an outsider benefit.

"Then when can it begin? I heard the Element side is going to make a move in the next two days," Liu Yiyi asked again.

Jiang Zuo replied, "The tribulation can begin tomorrow afternoon."

Jiang Zuo had it all planned out. He would wake Su Qi up tomorrow morning. Once her condition stabilized, he would activate the Array at noon. After she familiarized herself with it, she would begin Crossing the Tribulation.

As long as nothing catastrophic happened, Su Qi’s advancement was guaranteed.

Of course, even if something catastrophic did happen, Jiang Zuo would find a way to ensure Su Qi advanced safely.

However, after this was over, he would also need to find time to level up.

Because of the high-intensity preparation of the Array Runes, he had to constantly refine and absorb Spiritual Qi. He was now on the verge of advancing to level 2.3.

Unfortunately, his body was severely damaged, and he would need to recuperate after leveling up.

Otherwise, it would be easy to suffer from lasting side effects.

Afterward, Liu Yiyi asked a few more questions. Having gotten her answers, she prepared to report back to her teacher.

Naturally, she wouldn’t disturb Po Xiao while he was setting up the array. As she was leaving, however, Liu Yiyi glanced at the blackened Mo Yan and asked, "Should we take her with us?"

Liuyue Xue typed: *Take her back and put her out on the sea. We can keep zapping her. Can’t let the money go to waste.*

"The Magic Array won’t reach if it’s too far, but Fellow Daoist Po Xiao’s residence should still be within range," Liu Yiyi said.

’Actually, the magic was free,’ she thought. But that wasn’t important. Zapping Mo Yan was a very enjoyable activity.

Deep in the ocean, on a plane invisible to mortal eyes, a young man gazed into the distance and murmured, "The Elements... the Seven Elemental Spirits... perhaps they could be of some use.

But the Mages of today are truly pathetic.

That Mage from back then was truly outstanding. It’s a pity he was willing to lower himself to serve under King Qin Wu.

How foolish.

In the end, didn’t King Qin Wu die all the same?"

The young man walked upon the surface of the water, and behind him followed countless oceanic monsters.

There were monsters of every kind, and they were definitely not normal Spirit Beasts.

"The state of the world has changed. It seems King Qin Wu’s contingency plan has failed. Heh, there are quite a few of King Qin Wu’s old enemies here.

So, can the current Human Race withstand them?

Humans... they truly are fragile and insignificant."

The young man moved on, his voice lingering over the sea, unheard by any soul.

And his destination was none other than East Water Island.
