Chapter 516 - 515: Planning to Forge It Personally

Chapter 516: Chapter 515: Planning to Forge It Personally

In Su Qi’s eyes, she was the only one who got to hit Jiang Zuo, a fact he didn’t deny.

Because it was the truth.

To his exasperation, the Saintess Corps was assembled once more. It seemed Sister Jingyue was right—Su Qi was going to start getting resentful again.

Jiang Zuo felt that Sister Jingyue had been spot on.

Speaking of whom, Sister Jingyue was truly strange.

She had swallowed the curse, yet surprisingly, nothing had happened to her.

This was clearly not normal. Even if a Saintess herself was special, after swallowing the Curse Power, she should have at least carried a trace of it.

And yet, she had absolutely no issues.

It was impossible for there to be no effect. Jiang Zuo was more inclined to believe it had been absorbed.

Moreover, it hadn’t been absorbed in the form of a curse.

It was absorbed in a way that was completely imperceptible, yet still bore a faint connection to the curse.

Jiang Zuo couldn’t figure it out yet.

Of course, he didn’t have time to pay it too much mind.

He still had Su Qi to worry about.

Su Qi’s problem was the major one.

Never mind the issues with her Cultivation or her comprehension of various insights—it was her inexplicable enlightenment that forced Jiang Zuo to prepare.

He had already obtained the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires; now it was time to find a place to forge it.

That’s right. Jiang Zuo planned to forge it himself.

The forging process could drive a person mad, but Jiang Zuo had no choice but to do it himself.

When it came to Su Qi, he could only rest easy if he handled it himself.

Besides, he only needed to add a few things, so the forging process wouldn’t take long. It shouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Once she wore the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, that "Saint" mode of hers would surely be impossible to trigger.

And even if it did trigger, the Stone of Seven Emotions and Six Desires would interfere.

It would serve as a form of insurance.

Soon, Jingyue and Su Qi arrived at Yue Xi’s residence with the other Candidacy Saintesses.

Jiang Zuo followed at the very back. The others were fine, but Xiaoxiao kept stealing glances at him.

She seemed particularly curious about him.

Jiang Zuo glanced at Xiaoxiao, his expression blank.

Xiaoxiao, as if startled, didn’t dare to look back again.

’This person looks so fierce.’

Seeing Xiaoxiao reminded Jiang Zuo of the Little Wild Cat. ’I bet she’s getting along well with Chaos in the Summoning Space.’

’With the Fierce Beast Chaos’s nature, it wouldn’t be afraid of the Little Wild Cat’s chaos at all.’

’In fact, none of the Four Great Fierce Beasts should be afraid of chaos.’

’Is that why Qiong Qi was made to guard Chaos back then?’

’So, King Qin Wu is Qin Tian?’

’But I still don’t understand. King Qin Wu was clearly buried in the Ancient Battlefield, so why was his corpse on that ship?’

Jiang Zuo shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it.

’I’ll find out sooner or later. Right now, I should focus on getting stronger and protecting Su Qi.’

’Su Qi is my everything.’

’As long as Su Qi is okay, nothing else matters.’

By the time Su Qi, Jingyue, and the others arrived at Yue Xi’s gate, Yue Xi was already waiting for them in the courtyard.

"Master, why were you looking for us?" Su Qi asked, then casually sat down beside Yue Xi.

’Ooh, there are snacks on the table.’

But remembering Jiang Zuo was there, Su Qi stood up again. ’It’s better if I stand with my husband.’

’It’d be bad if he felt awkward.’

But would Jiang Zuo feel awkward in this situation?

Impossible.

Jingyue came up behind Yue Xi and started playing with her hair. "Master, your hair is a mess. I just learned a new hair-styling Skill. Let me tie it up for you again.

Oh, by the way, Master, I was thinking..."

Yue Xi cut her off. "Don’t even think about leaving."

Jingyue’s hand froze. "Master, I don’t think my skills are up to par. You should probably tie it yourself."

"..." ’She’s gotten so spoiled.’

Yue Xi didn’t pay it much mind and said, "None of you are to leave the Holy Land for a while. Starting tomorrow, you will enter the Saintess Pool. I have an important task for you."

Jingyue wasn’t surprised in the slightest. It was just as she expected.

Su Qi, however, was displeased. "Master, I just got back! If I had known, I wouldn’t have returned at all."

Qing Lian and the others naturally had no objections. For them, this was a routine matter.

They were different from Jingyue and Jiu Xi.

They were much more obedient.

Those two were often called the disgrace of the Saintesses.

Jingyue asked, "How long do we have to stay in?"

Yue Xi shook her head. "I don’t know. But as long as nothing goes wrong, the benefits to you will be immense."

Then, Yue Xi turned to Jiang Zuo. "Jiu Xi will need to stay in the Holy Land for a period of time. I trust that’s not a problem?"

But before Jiang Zuo could answer, Su Qi immediately cut in, "It is a problem! It’s definitely a problem."

Jiang Zuo smiled. He figured she was staying to absorb Immortal Spiritual Qi.

Jiang Zuo had already examined the Immortal Spiritual Qi. There was nothing wrong with it; absorbing it was by no means a bad thing.

Besides, Jiang Zuo also needed time to work on his forging. This was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.

So, Jiang Zuo nodded directly. "I don’t mind."

Su Qi huffed, completely unsatisfied with Jiang Zuo’s answer. ’He doesn’t even want his wife around.’

The resentment began to set in.

"You have one night to prepare. I will take you there first thing tomorrow morning," Yue Xi said to all of them.

Su Qi was sullen and had no interest in hearing anything else Yue Xi had to say.

’Stupid Candidacy Saintess. I don’t want to be one at all.’

Jiang Zuo patted her head. "It’s not so bad. Who knows, you might be out in a day or two."

Su Qi whispered, "But this happens too often. You must be getting unhappy about it."

Jiang Zuo paused. Even though he knew Su Qi was a Cultivator, she really had been away a lot these past two months.

If it wasn’t a mission, it was something to do with the Holy Land.

They really had spent very little time together.

Even when they went on vacation, one thing after another kept popping up.

It happened at East Water Island, and it happened again at the Sea of Seven Emotions.

They had never once had a quiet, peaceful time to just relax and have fun.

Jiang Zuo smiled. "It’s okay. Don’t we still have your further studies to look forward to? We’ll have more time then."

Su Qi didn’t say anything. She was just afraid that the plans for her further studies would fall through too. What would she do then?

Just then, Jingyue came to Su Qi’s side and whispered, "Don’t worry, your big sister is here. Things are going so well for you two now. I definitely won’t let my little pouter stay unhappy like before."

At first, Jingyue truly didn’t believe an ordinary person could have a happy relationship with a Cultivator.

She had imagined many scenarios, all of them ending badly for Jiang Zuo and Su Qi.

But now, everything was developing in a good direction. Plus, her brother-in-law didn’t seem to be as simple as he looked.

But regardless of whether he was truly more than he seemed, she would always help Su Qi.

If Su Qi weren’t truly happy, she definitely wouldn’t be helping.

Her own little sister deserved to have a better life.

Su Qi said nothing.

After Yue Xi finished giving her instructions, she had Qing Lian lead the others away.

As soon as they were gone, Yue Xi looked at Jiu Xi. "Are you still angry? Have I been too good to you all?"

Su Qi said, "Master, why don’t you just expel me from the Holy Land.

Then you can just give me a token so I can come back and visit whenever I want."

"Dream on," Yue Xi said irritably. "If it weren’t for the fact that you’re married, I’d string you up."

Su Qi pouted. ’As if she hasn’t strung me up and beaten me before. She did it just last time.’

At that thought, Su Qi hid behind Jiang Zuo, afraid her master would actually do it.

Yue Xi: "..."
