Chapter 606 - 605: Let’s Hang Ourselves Together

Chapter 606: Chapter 605: Let’s Hang Ourselves Together

After their meal, Jiang Zuo and Su Qi left the Tofu Boss’s shop.

The Tofu Boss was rather resigned.

What could he do? These two insisted on treating his tofu shop like a restaurant.

It was considerate enough that they didn’t make him go out and buy the ingredients himself.

Of course, Su Qi wouldn’t do something like that, and Jiang Zuo wouldn’t stoop to it either.

To him, it would be a foolish and unnecessary act.

However, one thing left Jiang Zuo a bit frustrated: the Yongxi Flesh was about to run out.

Although the Inexplicable Fate Restaurant still had a good amount, it wouldn’t last forever.

The Duoling Dog meat was also becoming scarce.

’Once it’s all gone, does that mean we’ll have nothing delicious to eat?’

’This is a huge problem.’

"What are you spacing out about?" Su Qi waved a hand in front of Jiang Zuo’s face.

Jiang Zuo said, "The meat at the Tofu Boss’s place is almost gone. Does that mean we’ll have nothing left to eat soon?"

Su Qi knew it was a limited supply of meat and that it would run out sooner or later.

But she just smiled and said, "Don’t worry. When that happens, I’ll cook for you myself."

Jiang Zuo’s expression didn’t change right away.

Su Qi said, displeased, "What, are you saying you don’t like my cooking?"

Only then did Jiang Zuo quickly shake his head. "No, I just think it would be too much trouble for you."

Su Qi said, "I’ve been going to that ’trouble’ for years. Isn’t it a little late to mention it now?"

Jiang Zuo was speechless. "..."

’Alright, time to change the subject.’

"Do we have to go to the Saintess Pool now?" Jiang Zuo asked.

Su Qi pouted. "Master Qing Yue is insisting I go. I told her I’m not better yet, but she doesn’t believe me."

She was right not to believe her. Su Qi’s Misfortune had already been suppressed long ago.

Just then, Su Qi suddenly asked, "Hubby, let me ask you something. What if, one day, my Misfortune can’t be suppressed anymore? What would you do?"

Hearing this question, the color instantly drained from Jiang Zuo’s face, and he felt a wave of unease.

Su Qi pouted. ’If he dares to say something I don’t like, I’ll pound him into a snowdrift.’

Finally, Jiang Zuo said, "You... you wouldn’t... make... make me endure it until your Misfortune is suppressed again, would you?

"A man could really die from that."

Pfft!

Su Qi couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

Then, she feigned displeasure. "Back when we first got together, you would’ve been jumping for joy."

’I was young back then, and I hadn’t started Cultivation,’ Jiang Zuo thought to himself.

Of course, Jiang Zuo couldn’t refute that, much less try to defend himself.

Because Su Qi would just bring up that whole stupid medicine incident again, and he didn’t need that.

Naturally, Su Qi didn’t dwell on the topic, because she was very satisfied with Jiang Zuo’s answer.

She could sense that in his thoughts, the idea of leaving her didn’t even exist.

That was right. For Jiang Zuo, leaving Su Qi was never an option.

He had once heard Sister Jingyue say that Su Qi was silly, and that he was very lucky.

At first, Jiang Zuo thought so too. He believed he had only managed to win Su Qi over because of sheer luck.

That was why he’d been unable to answer when Jian Shisan had asked him for advice.

Therefore, he didn’t dare leave Su Qi, nor did he dare let her leave him.

Because if they parted, his luck might run out.

His previous life was the result.

He and Su Qi had never met again. Even if Jiu Xi was Su Qi, they were still so close, yet worlds apart.

That was the most painful part.

At this thought, Jiang Zuo suddenly stopped walking.

Su Qi looked at him curiously. "What’s wrong?"

Jiang Zuo said, "Next time you go to hang yourself, I’ll go with you."

Su Qi blinked. "Huh?"

She was genuinely baffled.

Then Jiang Zuo added, "And then we can link our pinkies."

Su Qi asked, "Why? What for?"

Jiang Zuo said flatly, "To pinky swear and hang."

In an instant, Su Qi understood.

Pinky swear and hang, for a hundred years, we won’t change. (Are you guys really not afraid of getting hanged? Non-Cultivators, do not attempt.)

Su Qi’s brow smoothed into a smile. "But that’s only for a hundred years."

Jiang Zuo took Su Qi’s hand and started walking again.

Hearing her say it was only a hundred years, Jiang Zuo replied, "We can just hang ourselves a few more times. How about once every few years?"

Su Qi said, "If someone sees us, won’t Master and Senior Sister say we’re perverts?"

Jiang Zuo said, "Then we’ll just hang ourselves all night, for eighteen hundred times."

Su Qi giggled and leaned closer to Jiang Zuo, feeling exceptionally happy.

"Say you love me."

By now, Duan Qiao was already hiding far behind them in the snow.

Sweet Potato was right beside it.

Duan Qiao was clever enough to know this was no time to disturb them.

’Otherwise, the mistress will get angry, and an angry mistress is far more dangerous than the Great Demon.’

Fortunately, Duan Qiao could teleport, so it could take Sweet Potato and leave at a moment’s notice, then catch up whenever it wanted.

Although the Great Demon was ferocious beyond belief, Duan Qiao had to admit that following him had led to more fortuitous encounters than it had experienced in many years.

Its spirit had undergone Transformation, fused with a vast amount of Spatial Power, and had even gained a sliver of its true body’s strength.

But that was more than enough. Under normal circumstances, such a thing would be utterly impossible.

It felt that meeting the Great Demon was a case where great opportunity and great peril coexisted.

"Yip," Sweet Potato cried. It had nothing to eat.

And it wasn’t even beside its master.

In fact, Sweet Potato was just about the only one not particularly afraid of Jiang Zuo.

Duan Qiao was truly envious of Sweet Potato.

————

At the entrance to the exclusive passage for the Saintess Corps.

Su Qi waved goodbye to Jiang Zuo and headed inside, a blissful and charming smile gracing her face.

"Stop smiling. Go take a bath and get yourself cleaned up," Qing Yue said, appearing before Su Qi.

Su Qi glanced down at herself.

Qing Yue asked, "What are you looking at?"

Su Qi looked at Qing Yue and said, "Master Qing Yue, I’m perfectly clean. I don’t need a bath."

Qing Yue said, exasperated, "Just wash when I tell you to. Don’t you have any sense?"

"But Master Qing Yue, I’m on my period. I can’t get in the water," Su Qi said.

Qing Yue had no desire to waste any more time. She grabbed Su Qi and dragged her directly toward the bathing pool.

"You’re a Tier Three Cultivator and you still can’t touch water? Since when did you become so delicate?"

"My husband nurtured it in me. You wouldn’t understand, Master Qing Yue, since you’re not married."

Qing Yue didn’t want to talk anymore.

’These were Yue Xi’s two disciples, spoiled rotten since childhood.’

A long while later, Su Qi had changed into the robes of a Candidacy Saintess, now sparkling clean.

She then headed for the Saintess Pool.

She desperately hoped the Saintess Pool would reject her.

Before, while carrying her husband’s aura, there was a chance she would be repelled, but now that aura was gone.

Sure enough, she entered the Saintess Pool without any resistance.

But the moment she stepped inside, she froze, baffled.

Then she spoke up, "Senior Sister, I feel like I can absorb Immortal Spiritual Qi much faster now."

Jingyue opened her eyes. "Absorb some and let me see."

Su Qi nodded and began to absorb the Immortal Spiritual Qi.

Just as she’d said, Jingyue saw a massive amount of Immortal Spiritual Qi surging toward Su Qi.

Her overall speed was nearly twice as fast.

Jingyue nodded. "Although it’s not on par with the male Candidacy Saints, it’s about the same as me. It seems this is your true potential."

Su Qi was astonished. "Shouldn’t it be a boon from my husband?"

Jingyue smiled faintly. "In your dreams. If I’m not mistaken, it was the Misfortune Coin that was holding you back."

"Why?" Su Qi didn’t understand.

Jingyue said with great enthusiasm, "This is a recent theory of mine. It’s part of the Misfortune Balance Theory..."
