My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 346: Chapter 345: How Can a Lion-like Big Shot Not Have a Harem?

Setting up the Array wasn’t difficult for Jiang Zuo. The hard part was all the extra things he added.

On top of that, he had to resolve the issue on the Elemental Level.

That made it even more troublesome.

In truth, using the Celestial Tribulation to intimidate the Elemental Spirits didn’t have a high chance of success.

But if they were all as cowardly as the Water Elemental Spirit, the odds of success would be much higher.

Even ownerless Elemental Spirits would take real damage if they were caught in the lightning of the tribulation.

A scared one would probably flee. As for whether it would die, that was hard to say.

This was the first time Jiang Zuo had ever tried something like this.

It was late at night by the time Jiang Zuo finished the Array.

He had already inspected it and found no issues.

Afterward, Jiang Zuo pinged Liu Yiyi in the group chat: "@Liu Yiyi, the Array is finished. Have someone watch over it. I’m sending you the detailed instructions. Remember, you can’t make a single mistake.

Have the Tribulation Crosser activate the Array at noon tomorrow. Success or failure will come down to luck."

Jiang Zuo then attached the instructions for the Array.

They were written in meticulous detail, as if he were afraid they wouldn’t be able to understand them.

Liu Yiyi and the others were shocked when they received the file, because the instructions were truly exhaustive.

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao seems to have put a lot of effort into this, huh? Why? It doesn’t make sense."

The others nodded in agreement. It really didn’t make sense.

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan said, "Yiyi Fairy, is your teacher beautiful? How does she compare to Liuyue Xue or the Saintess?"

Mo Yan’s hair was still a frizzy mess. She mourned for her poor, long, straight black hair.

Liu Yiyi was speechless. ’What in the world is Mo Yan thinking?’

Still, she answered, "She’s a different type. My teacher is a mature, sophisticated woman.

In terms of looks alone, however, she’s probably a step below Liuyue Xue or the Saintess."

Mo Yan clapped her hands. "See? Isn’t it obvious? Boss Po Xiao has taken a fancy to your teacher and wants to play the role of the silent supporter from the shadows again.

Then, at the critical moment, he’ll make a dazzling appearance and capture your teacher’s heart with the swagger of a King!"

Chi Xue Child asked curiously, "Then why not just tell her? Wouldn’t it be better for her to see Fellow Daoist Po Xiao achieving success for her step by step?"

Mo Yan scoffed. "And that’s why you’re still single. You have to understand, Boss Po Xiao isn’t 100% sure he can pull this off. If he fails, wouldn’t that be humiliating?

How is he supposed to win the fair lady’s hand then?

I’m telling you, the moment this succeeds, Boss Po Xiao will appear by the Mage’s side and imperiously declare: ’With me here, you have nothing to worry about.’

Perfect."

Mo Yan’s theory was so convincing that they almost believed her.

Xiao Xiaomo shook her head. She had actually believed it for a second.

Then she asked, "But Boss Po Xiao is married, and didn’t you say he liked the Saintess?

How can he like Yiyi’s teacher now too?"

Mo Yan sighed at them. "And this is why none of you understand the minds of the greats. Who is Boss Po Xiao? He’s a grand senior at level 7.1.

A man like him is a lion among men. How could a mere one or two fairies possibly be enough for someone of his stature?

The one he married is the cute type, the Saintess is the pure and innocent type, and this Mage is the sophisticated, mature type. He naturally needs one of every kind of fairy.

That’s what makes him a boss. Who knows, maybe Boss Po Xiao will start going for the little-girl type next.

We shouldn’t be surprised by any of it."

Xiao Xiaomo said deadpan, "Chu Qing’s dad is also a 7.1. How come he only married one person?"

Chi Xue Child added, "Master Mo Yan is Tier Seven, isn’t he? He doesn’t seem to have any wives."

Mo Yan frowned. "Now that you mention it, Tier Seven is starting to sound pretty lame.

Chu Qing’s dad is also Tier Seven? No way. Or maybe he’s just the faithful type.

As for my master... well, he has me as his illegitimate daughter, so it’s not appropriate for him to take a wife."

Everyone: "..."

So, Mo Yan’s theory didn’t hold water at all.

Liuyue Xue suddenly started typing for Liu Yiyi to read: What did your teacher mean by "Elemental Wound"?

Liu Yiyi thought for a moment. "Simply put, it means an Elemental Spirit got beaten up and now wants revenge."

Liuyue Xue typed rapidly: Do you remember when we ran into Fellow Daoist Po Xiao at my place? What did you say you saw then?

Liu Yiyi remembered. She opened her mouth to speak. "I think I saw Fellow Daoist Po Xiao hitting an ele... ment..."

Liu Yiyi froze. ’I think I’ve figured something out.’

Po Xiao had hit an Element. The Water Elemental Spirit was attacked while it was out.

’This can’t be a coincidence, can it?’

At the very least, he was a suspect.

"What are you two talking about?" Mo Yan asked, her curiosity piqued.

Liuyue Xue typed quickly: We ran into Fellow Daoist Po Xiao before. Fairy Liu Yiyi saw him looking like he was hitting an Element. The problem on East Water Island was caused by an Elemental Spirit getting attacked. You can guess the rest, can’t you?

Chi Xue Child, who was reading over Liuyue Xue’s shoulder, even forgot to take a bite of his popsicle.

"Are you saying," Blade Master Hai Bian began, "that the whole problem on East Water Island was most likely caused by Fellow Daoist Po Xiao?

Is that why Fellow Daoist Po Xiao is being so helpful?"

Liuyue Xue nodded.

Everyone: "..."

Liu Yiyi said, "It’s only a suspicion, but... should we keep this quiet?"

Mo Yan shook her head. "I don’t buy it. Boss Po Xiao is a lone wolf. A proud lion like him wouldn’t change his principles for something like this. He definitely has his eyes on your teacher."

Xiao Xiaomo piped up, "Then could it be that Po Xiao took a liking to Yiyi’s teacher, so he deliberately caused the disaster on East Water Island?

Just so he could swoop in and save her?

He is a boss, after all. His methods for wooing women would naturally have to be earth-shattering."

Everyone stared at Xiao Xiaomo, astonished.

The stares made Xiao Xiaomo squirm. "I was just spitballing," she said. "You don’t have to look at me like that."

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan declared, "I feel like you just stole my thunder. Such a brilliant, perfect theory... that should have been mine!"

Blade Master Hai Bian chimed in, "I think that explanation works. What do you all think?"

Liu Yiyi and Liuyue Xue nodded as well. The reasoning was flawless.

Liu Yiyi’s expression darkened. ’So they’re still saying my teacher is his target?

What is all this nonsense? How could that be possible?’

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Jiang Zuo had no idea what people were saying about him, much less that he was seen as a boss with such... universal love.

Normally, he wouldn’t care what other people thought.

But if he ever heard this particular opinion, while he might not go so far as to silence them permanently, he would at least offer an explanation.

He wasn’t afraid of anything else—only that Su Qi might get the wrong idea.

It wouldn’t do for her to overthink things.

Of course, Jiang Zuo would also make them understand in no uncertain terms just what kind of person he truly was. (He is extremely ruthless.)

By this point, Jiang Zuo had returned to his lodgings.

He extended his senses and found that Su Qi was still in seclusion, her state stable.

Her Cultivation wasn’t being suppressed much. The moment she woke up, she could face her Celestial Tribulation.

It seemed leaving to face the tribulation elsewhere was no longer an option.

Jiang Zuo sat by the door. He had no intention of going to his room to sleep; he wanted to keep watch outside. Once dawn broke, he could try to wake Su Qi.

Then he would contact Shui Luo.

For Jiang Zuo, Su Qi’s Crossing the Tribulation was the most important thing right now. Nothing could distract him from it. Spirit Stones? Treasures?

Even if the entire world were piled high with them, they wouldn’t be enough to make him look twice.

The only one he cared about was Su Qi.
