My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 349: Chapter 348: Feel the Fear of Being Dominated by Boss Po Xiao

"You still want me to appear right in front of you? Can’t you find me yourself?" Su Qi said.

Jiang Zuo hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "If you looked completely different, and I couldn’t recognize you, what would you do?"

"I’d wait until you finally recognized me, of course. If you can’t even recognize your own wife, we might as well get a divorce," Su Qi said without a moment’s hesitation.

Jiang Zuo said, "...What if... we were already divorced?"

Hearing this, Su Qi turned to look at Jiang Zuo curiously and asked, "What do you mean?"

Su Qi’s expression was dead serious. She hated the idea of divorce, especially when Jiang Zuo was the one to bring it up.

’She would never, ever get a divorce.’

Jiang Zuo gently had Su Qi lean back against him again. "Don’t overthink it," he said.

Su Qi hesitated. "I don’t know. I never think about it. I couldn’t accept something like that.

Just the thought of you liking someone else makes me miserable."

Jiang Zuo stroked Su Qi’s hair. "Then don’t think about it."

But Su Qi continued, "If, at that time, you weren’t in love with someone else, then I wouldn’t hide. I would appear by your side the first chance I got and tell you that I want to be with you."

Jiang Zuo froze. In the end, he pushed the thoughts from his mind.

He smiled and said, "Stop letting your imagination run wild. That day will never come."

Su Qi turned to face Jiang Zuo, held out her little finger, and said, "Pinky promise."

Jiang Zuo smiled and hooked his pinky with hers. "Pinky promise."

Su Qi said immediately, "Pinky swear, for a hundred years, no changing allowed."

A smile touched Jiang Zuo’s lips. "You could add a ’ten thousand’ or two to that."

Su Qi thought for a moment, then said, "Pinky promise, hooked and sealed: as long as Su Qi never changes, Jiang Zuo isn’t allowed to change either."

Jiang Zuo said, "...Aren’t I getting the short end of the stick here?"

Su Qi hugged Jiang Zuo. "You’re not. Because Su Qi will never change—not in this life, not in the next, not in the one after that. Never ever.

If Jiang Zuo is here, Su Qi won’t change.

If Jiang Zuo is gone, Su Qi still won’t change."

Jiang Zuo held Su Qi, sighing inwardly. ’So even after I killed you so brutally in our past life, you still wouldn’t leave?’

’In truth, in our past life, as long as Jiu Xi hadn’t come looking for trouble, I never would have gone after her.’

’If Jiu Xi had just stayed in her own territory, I would have been perfectly happy to take the long way around.’

’Unfortunately, Jiu Xi never gave up on tormenting me.’

’The thought was still repulsive.’

Jiang Zuo helped Su Qi sit up. "Alright, it’s time to prepare for your Crossing the Tribulation."

Su Qi sat to the side and went back to snacking. "But it’s still morning. Didn’t we say we’d head over at noon? Besides, I’m already in peak condition. It doesn’t get any better than this."

Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo. "How about we..."

"No," Jiang Zuo said instantly.

It didn’t matter what Su Qi was about to say; Jiang Zuo knew he wouldn’t agree. Her questioning tone was a dead giveaway that it was not a wholesome request.

Su Qi pouted. "I haven’t even finished speaking, and you’re already saying no.

I was just going to suggest we go for a walk. You’re the one with the dirty mind."

Jiang Zuo was speechless. "..."

「Meanwhile, at Chu Qing’s location」

Chu Qing, who had been lying peacefully on a wooden plank, suddenly had the wounds on his body begin to emit a faint glow.

As the light pulsed, Chu Qing began to cry out in pain.

"Ngh... It hurts."

Chu Qing’s Mother rushed over. "What’s happening? Son, where does it hurt?"

She almost touched Chu Qing as she spoke, but pulled her hand back just in time.

Mo Yan and the others were also in the room. She couldn’t help but say, "It’s obviously the glowing wounds that hurt. You don’t even have to ask... Mmph!"

Liuyue Xue clamped a hand over Mo Yan’s mouth, sighing internally. ’She seriously wondered how Mo Yan hadn’t been beaten to death by now.’

’Doesn’t she know how to read the room before spouting nonsense?’

’She’ll be the one screaming for help later.’

Just then, Liuyue Xue spoke up. "It is indeed the wounds that are hurting, but there’s nothing seriously wrong with them. I’ve already checked."

It was rare for Liuyue Xue to say so much at once; she was being extravagant today.

Chi Xue Child and the others were all surprised.

Then, Xiao Xiaomo asked, "Then what’s that glowing stuff?"

"His foundation," Chu Qing’s father said with a frown. "Part of that light is very likely the foundation of Chu Qing’s constitution."

"Moreover, that light is being drawn out. It’s very likely trying to leave his body, taking his foundation with it."

A dark cloud settled over Chu Qing’s father’s face. The enemy had injured his son, damaged his foundation, and was now trying to strip it away entirely.

’They deserve to die.’

"Agh... AHHHHH!" Chu Qing screamed as the light was about to tear out of his body.

"I’ll call Boss Po Xiao right now!" Xiao Xiaomo pulled out her phone with a trembling hand, unable to even dial steadily.

’What if something happens to Chu Qing?’

At that moment, a hand rested on her shoulder.

It was Chu Qing’s father. "Calm down."

Xiao Xiaomo nodded and quickly dialed the number.

"We’re sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."

Xiao Xiaomo said anxiously, "The call won’t go through!"

Chi Xue Child said, "Don’t panic. It’s probably not as bad as we think. Besides, Fellow Daoist Po Xiao is likely busy with something else."

Chu Qing’s father spoke with sudden gravity. "You may have been deceived. I need to try and seal Chu Qing’s foundation now."

Xiao Xiaomo wanted to stop him, but Chu Qing’s Mother shook her head at her.

’Now is not the time.’

But since Chu Qing’s father didn’t physically touch Chu Qing, Xiao Xiaomo didn’t insist.

Then, Chu Qing’s father stretched out his hand. A gentle yet powerful force pressed down on the light, which had already burst from the body and was about to depart.

The light distorted under the pressure, seeming as if it might actually recede back into Chu Qing’s body.

But before they could celebrate, the light shuddered and pierced straight through the force from Chu Qing’s father.

Everyone was stunned. ’What is happening?’

Chu Qing’s father’s expression turned even darker. He couldn’t comprehend the nature of this light; brute-force suppression was having no effect.

Nevertheless, he increased the pressure.

But a small crack can bring down a great wall. A breach had been made, and Chu Qing’s father’s power could no longer contain the light.

He was powerless to stop it.

Perhaps his power was great enough to destroy the light, but he could no longer simply block its escape.

Soon, the light began to struggle frantically, on the verge of completely separating from Chu Qing.

"AAAAHHHHH!"

Chu Qing screamed as the light finally broke free. Chu Qing’s father’s power was useless to stop it; he could only watch helplessly as the light escaped his son’s body.

He was filled with a helpless rage.

And just as everyone thought the light would flee with Chu Qing’s foundation, an Array suddenly lit up beneath Chu Qing’s body.

The Array unfurled, shimmering with a faint light. The escaping beam of light slammed into it with a BANG, hitting a wall and dropping back down.

Chu Qing’s father was stunned. "What happened? Did a fellow Daoist intervene?"

"It’s not some other senior," Xiao Xiaomo said immediately. "Everyone back up! It’s a countermeasure from Boss Po Xiao!"

They were all standing extremely close to the Array. No one knew what would happen if they touched it, so their only choice was to fall back.

Mo Yan then turned to Chu Qing’s father. "Senior, prepare to have your mind blown. Now you get to experience the terror of being completely outclassed by Boss Po Xiao."
