Chapter 451 - 450: So I’m Not Even as Good-Looking as Anime?

Chapter 451: Chapter 450: So I’m Not Even as Good-Looking as Anime?

"A lot seems to have happened recently," Pure Goodness said.

Yue Xi nodded. "Yes, a lot has happened, and much of it was beyond our expectations.

Especially the appearance of that male Candidacy Saintess."

Yue Xi looked at Pure Goodness. "The Saintess is learning more and more, and things about you are becoming clearer. Your memories should be easy to recover now. Aren’t you going to give it a try?"

Pure Goodness shook her head. "My conscious self says it’s meaningless unless he returns. It’s better to just stay muddled like this."

Yue Xi smiled. "I think many things have changed. Jiu Xi didn’t become the Saintess, and Jingyue has actually started to uncover the secrets of the Forbidden Land. This has never happened before in history.

Moreover, their marks have undergone unknown changes. Many things are no longer ordinary."

Just then, Pure Evil emerged from the water. "Jiu Xi must become the Saintess. Only Saintess Jiu Xi can fend off all external enemies.

You can’t stop her. You can’t stop Jiu Xi from becoming the Saintess."

Yue Xi said expressionlessly, "But Jiu Xi is no longer the most suitable candidate for Saintess. Don’t you know?"

Pure Evil: "..."

She then looked at Pure Goodness, as if asking if it was true.

Pure Goodness nodded.

Pure Evil was stunned. Lacking much intelligence to begin with, she let out a couple of roars and then hid herself away.

Yue Xi said in surprise, "Speaking of which, does she know a bit too much? Saintess Jiu Xi? Although Jiu Xi is special, does it absolutely have to be her who becomes the Saintess?

And what does she mean by ’fend off all external enemies’?"

Pure Goodness shook her head. She didn’t know what it meant either.

"Aren’t you two one and the same?" Yue Xi asked curiously.

Pure Goodness said, "Don’t you know I have amnesia? Perhaps that part of the memory is with her."

"..." ’That’s not how it works.’ "You two are clearly one being, and all the memories are on your side. That thing is, at best, a foolish evil thought."

"ROAR~" The evil thought suddenly popped out and roared.

’Does she have no shame?’

「Sea of Seven Emotions」

Gu Jiansheng strolled leisurely along the shore of the sea with Xiaoli, a look of relief on his face as he stared at his phone.

Not long ago, Po Xiao had mentioned going to the Sword Cultivation Lineage, and now the Sword Cultivation Lineage had just imploded.

This was just more proof: Cherish your life, stay away from Po Xiao.

Gu Jiansheng petted Xiaoli and said, "There’s going to be an event here soon. It should get a lot livelier, so you’ll have plenty of fun. But don’t you go running off."

Xiaoli nodded. The environment here was so much better than the courtyard—immeasurably better—so of course it wouldn’t run off.

If it ran off, someone would be sent to find it. The thought of that Demon made Xiaoli tremble with fear.

’That Demon has no humanity at all.’

Meanwhile, outside the Sea of Seven Emotions, a mass of water floated to the surface and transformed into a mature woman with long hair that covered her entire body.

If not for her hair, her body would have been completely exposed.

A truly tantalizing sight it would have been.

The woman opened her eyes and gazed into the distance. Though there was nothing but sea before her, her gaze seemed to pierce through an endless distance.

’What a bunch of foolish creatures. The great order of heaven and earth has only just begun to crumble, and they’ve only just been freed from their seals, yet they appear with such fanfare. They’re practically begging for death.’

The woman’s lips didn’t move, yet her voice rang out clearly, ’Although humans are weak, exceptionally powerful ones always appear. Not to mention the Four Holy Beasts and the Four Great Fierce Beasts exist.

Most importantly, King Qin Wu was a man of great vision and strategy back then. How could he not have left behind some countermeasures?’

The woman’s eyes were as calm as still water. In her opinion, for those freed from the great order of heaven and earth, the first priority wasn’t how to suppress humanity.

It was how to hide themselves and, while they were at it, recover their strength.

If one wanted to stir up trouble, one first had to ascertain humanity’s strength and the countermeasures left by King Qin Wu.

The consequence of rashly showing one’s face was either being severely injured or suppressed once more.

The last few had been prime examples of this.

So, she had no desire to be locked away again right after getting out.

’I need a human to lead the way, to help me integrate into the human Cultivation Realm.’ At that moment, the woman spotted a Cultivator on the shore holding a fox.

’This one’s Cultivation is just right for me to control. You’ll do, human.’

Jiang Zuo still hadn’t managed to buy a computer. By now, Su Qi had already brought him home.

They were making dinner. After they ate, they still had to wait for the TV to be delivered.

Plus, they had to deal with the old appliances, which was quite a hassle.

Su Qi said as she stir-fried the vegetables, "Speaking of which, don’t appliances have a trade-in program? Did we kind of lose out?"

Jiang Zuo said as he chopped the meat, "I don’t know. I didn’t see one."

After she finished cooking, Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo, seeming to want to say something but hesitating.

Jiang Zuo asked, "What’s wrong? Is there something you can’t bring yourself to say?"

Su Qi asked, "Back when you were in the sixth grade, did you ever get the feeling that the girls avoided you?"

Jiang Zuo was taken aback. "Avoided me? Why?"

He really didn’t know if any girls had avoided him, though, because he had never really interacted with them much.

Su Qi said, "That’s what I learned today. Your female classmate said that in the sixth grade, none of them dared to get close to you."

Jiang Zuo paused for a moment. ’They didn’t dare get close to me?’

’Why?’

Then, Jiang Zuo thought of a certain reason related to himself. Theoretically, he could indeed make females keep their distance, but he was already married. Besides, that particular reason only appeared when he first glimpsed the Great Dao.

Although he felt it was an inherent trait, he was married now. That was an indisputable fact.

’So that probably wasn’t the reason back then, right?’

As for the real reason why girls didn’t dare approach him, Jiang Zuo couldn’t say for sure.

Besides, it was all in the past. What was the point of dwelling on it? He hadn’t felt anything at the time anyway.

Just then, Su Qi smiled again. "Good thing I didn’t feel that way back then, or you would have lost a beautiful wife like me."

"Just finish cooking. Stop talking nonsense. Let’s fill our stomachs first." ’What’s past is past. He had married Su Qi, and that was that.’

’There was no room for so many ’what ifs’ and ’just in cases.’’

’Su Qi was his wife now, and she would always be his wife. No one could take her from him.’

After dinner, Jiang Zuo and Su Qi sat on the sofa, waiting for the TV to be delivered.

With no TV to watch, all they could do was sit and play on their phones.

Su Qi leaned against Jiang Zuo. "Want me to show you a livestream of the Cultivation Realm’s Fairies? They’re all-natural beauties. One look and you won’t be able to tear yourself away."

Jiang Zuo said, "I’d rather watch anime. That’s more interesting."

Su Qi said, "You can use Magic yourself. All that stuff looks so fake. Let’s watch the Fairy livestream. It’s more realistic."

Jiang Zuo: "The Fairies aren’t that good-looking. Let’s watch anime."

Su Qi sat up and looked at Jiang Zuo. "So, on our wedding day, you ditched me to go watch anime because you thought I wasn’t good-looking?"

Jiang Zuo: "...That was different. It was right at the climax of the show."

Su Qi’s expression darkened instantly. "Don’t move. Let me bite you to death."
