Chapter 551 - 550: It Turns Out Su Qi Is This Terrifying

Chapter 551: Chapter 550: It Turns Out Su Qi Is This Terrifying

Jiang Zuo was already awake. It wasn’t a good time for him to go out, so he decided that if it came down to it, he would find a deserted place to do some Cultivation.

He might even level up.

He wasn’t far from leveling up now.

After all, the further he progressed, the more dramatic his level-ups became. An ordinary place definitely wouldn’t do.

This was mainly because of the trouble caused by the Fire Elemental Army.

Next time, the Three Elements would come attacking.

The Fire Elemental Army would be the main force, with the Water Element as secondary. The weakest would probably be the Thunder Element.

He never could figure out how the Fire Element had managed to summon these reinforcements.

After that, Jiang Zuo got up and went to the balcony for no other reason than to check on Sweet Potato and Duan Qiao.

However, the moment he stepped out, they froze.

’Alright, same as usual. It hasn’t faded.’

He went to the mirror for a look and saw that even his smile was about to vanish. ’Why is this aura still here?’

’This thing is such a pain.’

It was great to use, and under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t care.

’Whether other people felt uncomfortable had nothing to do with him.’

But alas, he had Su Qi.

And just then, his phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Zuo didn’t even frown. ’Who would be calling him at a time like this?’

He took a look—it was actually Su Qi. And it wasn’t a phone call, but a video call...

Jiang Zuo felt like he was a dead man.

After a moment’s hesitation, Jiang Zuo flopped onto his stomach on the bed and pressed accept.

He then just casually set the phone aside. It would be fine as long as he didn’t show his face.

Soon, Su Qi’s face appeared on the screen, as beautiful as ever.

Su Qi was smiling, but when she realized the video call had connected and she couldn’t see Jiang Zuo, she became unhappy.

Su Qi then whispered, "Where are you?"

Jiang Zuo replied softly, "Sleeping."

"Hurry up and let me see you. I only have a minute. If I don’t see you, I’ll feel out of sorts later," Su Qi urged.

Lines of exasperation formed on Jiang Zuo’s face. Su Qi’s time was probably very precious right now. If she didn’t get to see him, she would truly hold it against him.

Helpless, Jiang Zuo could only turn the camera toward himself, hoping that just showing his face wouldn’t cause any problems.

"Hurry up," Su Qi urged again, seeing Jiang Zuo dragging his feet.

Jiang Zuo sighed inwardly, then steeled his resolve and aimed the camera directly at himself.

He didn’t even dare to look at Su Qi’s expression.

After Jiang Zuo’s face appeared in the video, he just kept waiting, waiting for Su Qi’s reaction.

But Su Qi didn’t say anything for a long time, which made Jiang Zuo a little worried.

When he looked up at the screen, Jiang Zuo saw that Su Qi wasn’t scared. Instead, she was tilting her head, sizing him up.

After studying him for a moment, Su Qi finally spoke up. "Is something wrong with your mouth? It feels like it’s crooked."

"Are you that happy because I’m not home tonight?"

"Your mouth is crooked from smiling so much."

Lines of exasperation appeared on Jiang Zuo’s face. "Do I look like it?"

Su Qi nodded. "You didn’t use to, but you do now that we’ve been married for a while."

Jiang Zuo didn’t want to continue this line of conversation and refused to discuss such topics.

But since Su Qi didn’t react badly, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Qi didn’t seem to care and immediately said, "I’m almost out of time! Quick, tell me you love me, tell me you miss me. Say something sweet."

Jiang Zuo was speechless. "..."

’Don’t you get tired of saying these things every day?’

’It’s so embarrassing sometimes.’

After Jiang Zuo said what she wanted to hear, Su Qi hung up the video call, completely satisfied.

It seemed she had no choice but to hang up, as Jiang Zuo saw her aunt appear by her side.

Afterward, Jiang Zuo went to the mirror again. Just like before, there was no change.

’So, was Su Qi immune because we were separated by the phone screen?’

’Or maybe you really can’t tell just from looking at my face?’

Jiang Zuo didn’t understand, so he went out to the balcony.

The moment he stepped onto the balcony, Sweet Potato suddenly flapped its wings and cried, "QUACK, QUACK."

Jiang Zuo was taken aback. ’Sweet Potato dares to quack at me now?’

Then Jiang Zuo looked at Duan Qiao. "Is the thing on me gone?"

Duan Qiao nodded. "It’s gone."

’Yes, it’s gone! Finally gone! It doesn’t have to endure that terrifying thing anymore.’

This whole time, the balcony gang had been scared half to death.

Shiba hadn’t dared to speak, and Dandan hadn’t dared to move.

Even Sweet Potato hadn’t dared to act up, let alone the others.

Jiang Zuo was speechless. "..."

If he had to say why it was gone, then the reason must lie with Su Qi.

’So, am I that scared of Su Qi?’

’Was an aura like this scared away just like that?’

Jiang Zuo was shocked.

’So Su Qi is this terrifying.’

After Yue Xi put the phone away, she said, "Can you go in now?"

Jingyue immediately complained, "Master, according to you, I’ve only rested for one minute. Can you even call one minute a rest?"

"I heard that even school breaks between classes are ten minutes long."

Yue Xi said with a perfectly straight face, "A Cultivator’s constitution is more than ten times stronger than an ordinary person’s, and their learning ability is also more than ten times stronger."

"In the same amount of time, you can learn ten times more than ordinary people."

"So, if they rest for ten minutes, one minute is enough for you."

"Because your one-minute rest is superior to their ten-minute rest."

"You’re getting the better end of the deal."

Jingyue: "..."

Jiu Xi: "..."

’There’s a problem with this logic.’

However, it was no use. Yue Xi had already made her move.

After dealing with the two of them, the Array outside was completely activated.

Spiritual Qi was gathered, and the immense concentration of it formed a layer of white mist.

This was Spiritual Qi manifesting as mist.

Cultivating here, one day was equivalent to ten normal days.

It might not seem like much, but for those on the verge of a breakthrough, it was truly invaluable.

Take He Xiaoye, for example. Her first steps into Cultivation wouldn’t have been this quick otherwise.

But as long as she came here consistently, she would soon be able to step onto the path of Cultivation.

The first step is always the hardest, and this was simplifying that beginning for her.

Countless people could only dream of such an opportunity.

Xuanwu was also lying here, but this Spiritual Qi was of little use to it.

While it was useful during regular Cultivation, it was currently learning the Mijie Sacred Image, and the Mijie Sacred Image didn’t rely solely on Spiritual Qi.

It relied more on the Power of Nature.

But whether it was useful or not, lying in a place with such abundant Spiritual Qi was definitely comfortable.

"It’s clearly just one small step away. Why do I feel like it’s not making any progress at all?" Silver Armor said from the side, a little surprised.

This Xuanwu was not what he had expected.

’It’s so heaven-defyingly talented, how could it get stuck like this?’

It was as if a door had already been pushed ajar but simply couldn’t be nudged fully open.

It left one with a stifling sense of frustration.

Jian Shisan said, "Little Xuanwu is a bit slow-witted."

’Slow-witted?’

’That’s just plain stupid.’

Silver Armor didn’t say that out loud. After all, the creature seemed to be walking a path he had never seen before.

He wasn’t qualified to call such a Spirit Beast stupid.

After all, if he said it, it would imply he wasn’t even worthy of being called stupid himself.

Because this was tantamount to forging its own path.

And even at his peak, Silver Armor had never completely forged a path that was truly his own.

Someone as heaven-defying as Jian Shisan was a rarity, practically unseen in the entire world.

And just at that moment, the aura of Xuanwu drawing upon the heavens and earth vanished.

Silver Armor was stunned for a moment. He didn’t quite understand.

Jian Shisan, however, seemed used to it. He said, "It just fell asleep."

Silver Armor: "..."
