Chapter 502: Chapter 501: Are You Doing Something Dangerous Behind My Back?

On the Sea of Seven Emotions

Su Qi sat on the back of Chaos. Her injuries were no longer serious; after all, it wasn’t like she lacked medicine.

Besides, after resting for so long, her constitution was already excellent.

How else could she have made her husband’s face drain of color recently?

However, as soon as the Celestial Tribulation dissipated, Su Qi discovered her phone had a signal. She had a strong urge to call her husband.

’Something feels off.’

"I have a feeling you did something dangerous behind my back," Su Qi said, her tone playfully demanding.

On his end, Jiang Zuo could barely hear what Su Qi was saying. He was more gravely injured than ever before, but he couldn’t let her find out.

He then managed to say, "Are you all right? You were just in grave danger."

"I am, I’m hurt. It hurts so much, I need you to pamper me," Su Qi said, her voice sounding especially pitiful.

Then Su Qi added, "But don’t worry too much. I’m perfectly fine now. Don’t let your imagination run wild, and don’t do anything reckless."

Jiang Zuo was silent for a long moment.

It wasn’t that Jiang Zuo didn’t want to answer; he simply couldn’t hold on any longer.

If not for his incredibly resilient spirit, he would have passed out long ago.

"Why aren’t you saying anything? I’ll head back right now to show you. You don’t need to worry," Su Qi said immediately.

"Mm, as long as you’re all right. We’ll go get something to eat and calm our nerves when you get back," Jiang Zuo forced himself to answer normally.

"Okay, wait for me then. I’m rushing back right now. I’ll be there soon," said Su Qi.

"Okay."

After Jiang Zuo acknowledged, they hung up.

Jiang Zuo’s hand fell limply to his side. He couldn’t even hold onto his phone anymore.

His eyes grew vacant, but he was still holding on.

The Innate Two Qi circulated frantically within him, and the Battle Spirit Stele operated at full force, both trying to stabilize Jiang Zuo’s injuries.

Without them, Jiang Zuo would most likely have died right here.

’In such a wretched state... how am I going to face Su Qi later?’ Jiang Zuo wondered.

’No, wait. How am I even going to get back?’

’It’ll take days just to be able to move again, won’t it?’

’Will Su Qi worry?’

’Should I let her know beforehand?’

’But she’ll still worry if I tell her, won’t she?’

’And if she can’t find me, Su Qi will go mad with worry, right?’

Just then, the Little Wild Cat suddenly approached Jiang Zuo. She circled around him, as if investigating something.

This Little Wild Cat didn’t eat people, so Jiang Zuo had no idea what she was up to.

A moment later, however, she began to growl at Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo stared at her, his face devoid of expression.

As soon as Jiang Zuo stared at her, the Little Wild Cat seemed to get a fright. She instantly backed away and then scampered off.

Jiang Zuo: "..."

Come to think of it, the Little Wild Cat only ever crawled around here; it never walked normally.

’I wonder who taught her that.’

Just then, the woman came over as well. She looked at Jiang Zuo and asked, "Are... are you all right?"

Jiang Zuo didn’t have the strength to answer. He simply closed his eyes in silence.

At that exact moment, a surge of Sword Intent suddenly erupted within the Deep Sea Cage—a Sword Intent that seemed to pierce through the ages.

As soon as this Sword Intent emerged, the woman exclaimed in shock, "A crack has appeared in the Deep Sea Cage! It hasn’t repaired itself yet. Someone is breaking in!"

Jiang Zuo froze for a second, then smiled. "Go and welcome him in. It’s fine."

The woman was taken aback, but she ultimately did as Jiang Zuo said.

Only after she left did Jiang Zuo breathe a sigh of relief.

’Thank goodness he’s here. Otherwise, I really don’t know how I would have explained this to Su Qi.’

That’s right, Jian Shisan had arrived. He had rushed over at top speed.

He had exerted all his effort to locate the Deep Sea Cage and had even managed to find the crack.

Just as Jian Shisan was about to cleave the place open, the woman suddenly appeared before him.

Jian Shisan asked, "I have a young friend who just underwent a Celestial Tribulation down here. Might you have seen him, Fairy?"

The woman nodded. "Follow me."

Without any hesitation, Jian Shisan followed her.

As Jian Shisan entered, the Little Wild Cat charged out and growled at him as well.

In response to the Little Wild Cat’s growling, a faint sword light flickered around Jian Shisan’s body. He then frowned at the creature.

"This little one is quite special. To think she can plunge people into a state of chaos," Jian Shisan remarked.

The woman jumped in fright.

’This man is completely unaffected too? If I’m not mistaken, he’s only at the Inquiry realm, isn’t he?’

’Another prodigy?’

"She’s very young and a bit mischievous, please don’t mind her," the woman said quickly.

’A Tier Two cultivator is already that terrifying. Doesn’t that mean this Tier Eight is also monstrously powerful?’

’What is going on with the Human Race lately?’

’Why have so many terrifying individuals appeared all at once?’

"Please lead the way, Fairy," Jian Shisan said courteously.

He truly didn’t pay it much mind.

Soon, Jian Shisan saw Jiang Zuo.

It was just as he’d thought. The one who had undergone the Celestial Punishment was indeed Jiang Zuo, and he was severely injured.

Dozens of times worse than when he had fought the Master of Curses.

It was a miracle he was still alive.

Jiang Zuo looked at Jian Shisan, and Jian Shisan looked back at him. Finally, Jian Shisan took out a Shaping Pill and had Jiang Zuo consume it.

"My Junior Sister gave this to me. This is the second one. You’d better pay me back soon," Jian Shisan said.

Then, Jian Shisan gave a third pill to Jiang Zuo. "This is the third one. The Holy Land shouldn’t have any more Shaping Pills. Be sparing with it."

Jian Shisan didn’t know what to say about Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo was incredible, and Jian Shisan admired him for it—especially for marrying their Saintess.

But he was also far too good at getting into trouble.

However, he didn’t mind. In fact, he particularly admired Jiang Zuo.

At this moment, Jian Shisan asked, "Is Jiu Xi all right?"

Jiang Zuo nodded. "She sustained some injuries, but she’s not in any grave danger."

Jian Shisan asked, "Is that fish dead? Do you need me to take action?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "No need. Give me a few more months. It’s already been sentenced to death. No one can save it."

Jian Shisan nodded and said nothing more.

"For the sake of your identity, it’s best I don’t stay long," Jian Shisan said.

Jiang Zuo nodded. Jian Shisan was here looking for the person who had undergone the Celestial Tribulation and Celestial Punishment. If Su Qi were to find them together, the truth would surely be exposed.

Therefore, it was best for Jian Shisan to leave first.

Before leaving, Jian Shisan glanced at the woman and said, "Fairy, please open a way out for me."

The woman immediately snapped out of her daze and said, "Of—of course."

’I don’t know why, but I just had the unnerving feeling of lingering fear.’

’Yes, it must be an illusion. He really did just glance at me calmly a moment ago.’

’This is enough to prove how powerful he is. He’s no ordinary Tier Eight Inquiry cultivator.’

’Is the Human Race on the rise?’

After swallowing the Shaping Pill, Jiang Zuo began to recover rapidly.

He wasn’t aiming for a full recovery; he just needed his body to return to a normal state.

That would be enough to fool Su Qi.

It’s just that his body was much weaker now. He hoped Su Qi wouldn’t be too... excessive.

The Little Wild Cat stared blankly at her surroundings. She lacked normal consciousness, but she knew that some things would explode.

But now, the things she was seeing wouldn’t explode.

A moment ago, when she had run out, she saw a few things, and they all exploded.

But since she lacked self-awareness, she didn’t understand any of it.

She simply acted on her instinct to find food, and the things that had just exploded had provided a lot of it.

That was why she had run over to Jiang Zuo and Jian Shisan.
