Chapter 595: Chapter 594: Jiang Zuo Feels Cold in His Sleep

Holy Land

SPLASH~

Another person fell into the water.

"That’s the last one. Good, now everyone can just sit on the edge of the pool," Jingyue said.

Xiaoxiao popped her head out of the water. "Holy Sister, if we sit on the edge, will we make the pool collapse too?"

Jingyue thought for a moment before immediately saying, "I’m going to put some clothes on, just in case."

With that, Jingyue put on a set of water-resistant clothes to avoid any potential wardrobe malfunctions.

However, wearing clothes would significantly slow down her absorption speed.

But that was still far better than the risk of being exposed.

As a Saintess, if she had a wardrobe malfunction, she’d be lectured to death by those people.

Su Qi grumbled helplessly from the side, "Didn’t Master say it was sealed? It’s not like I did it on purpose. Besides, there’s nothing else here. My luck can’t get any worse, can it?"

Jingyue said, "You can’t be sure of that, can you? The mountain peak might not collapse easily, but what if a meteor suddenly falls from the sky? Or what if someone’s Crossing the Tribulation and a stray bolt of lightning happens to strike here?"

Su Qi replied, "Holy Sister, how could my luck be *that* bad? Isn’t it supposed to be at the level of buying instant noodles without a seasoning packet? Nothing fatal."

Jingyue said, "Who said a falling meteor would be fatal?"

Su Qi was speechless.

"It’s not like I did it on purpose! Who knew I’d get hit by a Misfortune Coin? I don’t know who the bastard is, but if I ever find out, I’ll castrate him if it’s a man, and ruin her face if it’s a woman," Su Qi said viciously.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo, who was still asleep, suddenly felt a chill. In his sleep, he subconsciously fumbled for the quilt beside him and pulled it up tight.

He hoped it would drive away the cold.

Jingyue asked, "What if it was your husband?"

Su Qi said angrily, "It wouldn’t matter even if it was my husband this time! What’s the point of having a husband who would dare to screw over his own wife?"

In his sleep, for some unknown reason, Jiang Zuo felt even colder.

’Seems like pulling the quilt tighter isn’t helping at all,’ he thought.

Shivering, Jiang Zuo curled into a ball and clutched the quilt again, hoping to get a little warmer.

Then, Su Qi asked worriedly, "Holy Sister, the Saintess Pool won’t collapse, will it? Would I have to pay for it if it does?"

Jingyue shook her head. "It won’t come to that. I just don’t know how severe your situation is. How about you get up and take a couple of steps so we can see?"

Xueyu asked curiously, "You can tell just by watching her take a couple of steps?"

Jingyue smiled. "Yes. Your Holy Sister is a very magical person."

At that, the Candidacy Saintesses all stared at Su Qi with wide, expectant eyes.

Su Qi looked completely helpless. Finally, she said, "So I’ll just take a couple of steps?"

Jingyue nodded.

"Just two steps, okay?" Su Qi said.

Jingyue simply nodded again with a smile on her face.

Left with no choice, Su Qi got up to see if she could walk a couple of steps without any problems.

Su Qi stood up, and Jingyue and the others all fixed their gazes on her.

Being stared at like this made Su Qi feel quite embarrassed.

’Is it really necessary to pay so much attention to me just taking a couple of steps?’

Then, Su Qi took a step forward. But the moment she did, she felt her foot slip.

Su Qi froze, and then her entire body went plunging straight toward the ground.

BAM~

Su Qi landed face-first with a very loud thud.

Su Qi: "..."

Jingyue: "..."

Everyone else: "..."

She was a Cultivator. Even if she slipped, she should have been able to catch herself with her hands, right?

It might be difficult for an ordinary person, but for a Tier Three master?

To fall flat on her face just like that... wasn’t that a bit much?

And really, could someone actually be this unlucky?

Su Qi just lay there on the ground, completely motionless, which frightened the others.

’Is this something serious?’

Yiruo asked worriedly, "Holy Sister, are you okay?"

Su Qi still didn’t respond.

Qing Lian immediately rushed to Su Qi’s side and helped her up.

It was only then that they discovered a swollen lump on Su Qi’s forehead.

A great Tier Three master! Not only did she fall, but she even got a lump on her head. Wasn’t that too ridiculous?

Su Qi looked aggrieved. "Holy Sister, I miss my husband. I want to go home."

Jingyue also came to Su Qi’s side. "I’d love to send you out, but they won’t allow it. I’m even worried we’ll get dragged into this."

This made Su Qi feel even worse.

She really wanted to hack to pieces the person who hit her with the Misfortune Coin.

Then she’d throw him to her junior brothers and sisters to be castrated.

After that, she’d imprison him, making him wish for both life and death, but attain neither.

At that moment, the sleeping Jiang Zuo broke out in a cold sweat.

He was just shy of being woken up by the chill.

Saintess Pool

Jingyue said, "How about you video call your husband? Maybe that will help."

This was a last-ditch effort; it probably wouldn’t work.

Su Qi couldn’t go out, and Jiang Zuo couldn’t come in. It was a difficult situation for them both.

However, Su Qi was still happy about the idea of video calling Jiang Zuo. She immediately took out her phone, but just as she did, it slipped from her hand.

With a PLOP, it fell into the water.

The screen, which had been on, flickered twice and then went dark.

Everyone: "..."

Su Qi was dejected.

Qing Lian said, "Holy Sister, just stay seated. Don’t get up again. That way, nothing will happen. Besides, you’ve almost finished absorbing the Immortal Spiritual Qi. It’ll be over in a few days. Just hang in there, you’ll be fine. You’ll be able to see Brother Jiang then."

Jingyue said, "You little sad sack, why don’t you move over a bit? Just sit quietly to the side so you don’t affect our absorption of the Immortal Spiritual Qi."

Su Qi: "Holy Sister..."

"Alright, alright, you can absorb it. Just remember not to choke on it," Jingyue said helplessly. "Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if you went back and said we mistreated you."

Su Qi was completely speechless at her Holy Sister’s words. ’What kind of nonsense is that? How could someone choke on Immortal Spiritual Qi?’

————

Outside, Silver Armor frowned. He felt that the absorption rate had been very slow these past two days. Compared to when that male Candidacy Saintess was absorbing, it was like heaven and earth.

Could it be that Immortal Spiritual Qi was better suited for male Saintesses to absorb?

That was a problem.

However, how to make a man a Saintess was an even bigger problem.

It was unheard of throughout history.

Therefore, he was very curious as to how that male Candidacy Saintess was chosen.

It wasn’t just him; the others felt the same. Even Jian Shisan was curious.

They just hadn’t voiced their questions.

Mainly because the man in question was quite formidable.

After all, he was the man who had married a Saintess. That probably had something to do with it.

Right now, Yue Xi was absent. She was in seclusion for her Cultivation. After gaining some sudden insight, she was indeed on the verge of advancing.

She was about to step into the highest Realm of the Holy Land’s Immortal Corps.

That’s right. Among that group of undyings, the strongest was only Tier Seven. Not a single one had reached Entering Dao.

Excluding Jian Shisan, they were the strongest.

The people of the Holy Land had now begun preparing a Tribulation Crossing Grand Array for Yue Xi.

If Jian Shisan didn’t have to look after things here, he would have gone to oversee it personally.

Although he couldn’t take part himself, he would still go and inspect the Grand Array after its completion to ensure everything was foolproof.

Just then, Silver Armor suddenly looked up. Gazing at a patch of dark clouds in the distance, he said, "Is someone Crossing the Tribulation not far from the Holy Land?"

Jian Shisan also looked over and saw that someone was indeed Crossing the Tribulation. "It’s very far away. There’s no issue."

Silver Armor nodded. It was indeed far away and wouldn’t affect them.

But who was so bold as to Cross the Tribulation this close to the Holy Land?

******

I don’t usually ask for much, but today, I’m not asking for anything but your monthly tickets.

I can only look at the monthly tickets to console myself.

Thanks.
