Chapter 645 - 644: What? The Little Grumbling Wife Is About to Give Birth?

Chapter 645: Chapter 644: What? The Little Grumbling Wife Is About to Give Birth?

This left Chi Xue Child and the others completely dumbfounded.

’So, to Po Xiao, advancing to Tier Eight is even simpler than the first method he suggested?’

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator had been wondering if he should give it a try, but now he’d given up on the idea.

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator said, "Ask him if there’s a way to get rid of them for now."

Then, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator offered a First-Grade Spirit Stone.

A single question cost a First-Grade Spirit Stone. This was far too easy a way to make money.

But the Black-robed Demon Cultivator had no choice.

He couldn’t just leave them be; it would be a death sentence.

He had tried pulling them out and throwing them away, but it was completely useless.

Killing them was even more out of the question; he couldn’t even win a fight against them.

When Jiang Zuo saw the question, he sent a reply.

Po Xiao: "You can just talk to them directly. However, you have to get them to take root somewhere else.

Just be aware, you’ll still be the ones nourishing them, but someone else will reap the benefits."

After sending the message, Jiang Zuo muted all notifications. He sensed a dangerous aura.

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator then had Chi Xue Child ask, "Ask him what I’m supposed to say. I’ve tried several times, but there was no reaction."

Chi Xue Child asked, but this time, there was no reply.

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao doesn’t usually answer questions that are too stupid."

Black-robed Demon Cultivator: "..."

After that, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator left. ’He said to just talk to them, right?’

He refused to believe he couldn’t communicate with these damn flowers.

After Jiang Zuo finished up, he started eating his meal in peace. Sure enough, not two minutes later, Su Qi arrived.

As soon as she came over, she said to Jiang Zuo, "Miss me—"

Before she could finish, she saw Lu Zhen looking over. She was too embarrassed to finish her sentence.

Then she sat down next to Jiang Zuo and shot him a fierce glare.

’He’s just teasing me because he knows I’m shy.’

Jiang Zuo didn’t actually think Su Qi was all that shy. After all, most of the time, she was the one making him feel flustered.

Finally, Su Qi said, "Aren’t you even a little happy that I got out so early?"

Jiang Zuo smiled. "I’m very happy."

He said it with sincerity. It was true; he really was happy.

He was currently wondering how he could show Su Qi he could fly. He wanted to do it in a low-key way that would still manage to astound her.

Just telling her outright would have no visual impact.

"What are you thinking about? You look like you’re plotting something," Su Qi said, leaning closer to Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo gently pushed her away and said, "It’s lunchtime. Have you eaten? The owner is finally serving rice today."

Su Qi was surprised. "For real? I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. My master always said the owner was a great cook, but I’ve never actually seen him make a meal.

What got into him?"

Jiang Zuo shrugged. How would he know? In any case, it had nothing to do with him. If it did, the owner would have started cooking first thing in the morning.

’I can ask about it later,’ Su Qi thought. ’If he’s selling it to everyone, I can tell my senior sister. She hasn’t been out to eat in ages; she’d be thrilled.’

Then Su Qi asked curiously, "How did Shi Qi and Shiba suddenly get here? I thought they didn’t come with you."

Duan Qiao immediately piped up, "I’m the one who brought them over."

Su Qi was amazed. "Brought them over? From home?"

Duan Qiao nodded, then explained its current abilities.

Su Qi was stunned. ’My husband actually has a treasure like this!’

Then she asked Duan Qiao, "Can you put a mark on me? That way, if the Holy Land tries to do something, once I’m inside, I can just jump into some water, and you’ll be able to pull me straight home, right?"

Just then, Jiang Zuo said in a cold voice, "Absolutely not."

Su Qi asked, "Why not? I’ll be fully clothed, so I definitely won’t have a wardrobe malfunction."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

’That’s not what I meant.’

Then Jiang Zuo said, "What I mean is, if you get discovered, the consequences will be severe."

Su Qi said, "They won’t do anything to me."

Then Su Qi laid it out for Jiang Zuo. "Think about it. My master has my back, and her Martial Uncle has her back. Even if I make a small mistake, they won’t do anything serious to me. At most, they’ll give me a lecture and then drag me back."

Jiang Zuo was speechless. Finally, he said, "Do you still want to complete your training? Do you still want to have our child?"

Su Qi froze. She hadn’t thought that far ahead.

Finally, she snatched Jiang Zuo’s bowl and chopsticks. "I’m hungry."

’Although my food was stolen, it’s a relief,’ Jiang Zuo thought. ’Su Qi escaping would have been a minor issue, but it would have directly interfered with my own freedom of movement. And that would be a huge problem.’

As they ate, Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo and said, "You look like you’ve lost weight."

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "I haven’t. I’ve probably just toned up. I’ve been working out a little recently."

"Oh?" Su Qi perked up when she heard he was working out. She grinned. "For me?"

Although he did most things for Su Qi’s sake, her question made Jiang Zuo feel like she was implying something else.

’Better not to answer,’ he thought. ’I’ll just eat my food quietly.’

Seeing Jiang Zuo’s silence, Su Qi’s grin widened. "I read a book recently that said eating a certain Spirit Medicine is especially... mmmph."

Before Su Qi could say more, Jiang Zuo picked up a mouthful of tofu with his chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth. "Just eat your food."

Lu Zhen watched them from the side, filled with curiosity. He felt that this senior was much more expressive whenever this woman was around.

When she wasn’t around, he was usually expressionless.

’How strange.’

His mother had never taught him about this. ’Looks like I’ll have to go ask the owner for advice.’

「The Holy Land」

Today, Jingyue was summoned to the place where her master was in seclusion.

She arrived just in time to see her master emerging.

Jingyue asked curiously, "Master, aren’t you supposed to be preparing for your Tribulation Crossing? Why are you out?"

Yue Xi said, "Xiaojiu’s training application has progressed to the next stage."

Jingyue was pleasantly surprised. "Is our Little Complainer finally going to have her baby?"

Yue Xi stared at Jingyue, her face expressionless. "..."

Jingyue lowered her head, straightened her clothes, and said awkwardly, "I’ve been watching Little Wild Cat recently, and it’s made me think about my junior sister’s daughter."

Yue Xi said, "What if it’s a boy?"

Jingyue said, "But isn’t there still a nine-thousand, nine-hundred, and ninety-nine out of ten thousand chance that it’s a girl?"

"..."

Yue Xi decided not to bicker with this disciple of hers.

But just then, Jingyue suddenly asked curiously, "Master, are you planning on having a boy for Martial Uncle?"

At that, Yue Xi looked at Jingyue again.

And then...

Well, there was no "and then."

The next time Su Qi saw her senior sister, Jingyue showed up in her full Saintess form.

What’s more, she remained standing the entire time, even while she was eating.

In the tofu shop, Su Qi looked at Jingyue, who had just arrived, and said, "Senior Sister, don’t tell me Master beat you?"

Jingyue shot her a look. "If you know, don’t say it. Otherwise, I won’t tell you the good news."

Su Qi was taken aback. "Good news?"

Jingyue nodded while eating her stinky tofu. "Mhm. There’s been a new development with your training. I’m here to take you through the next step. If you pass, we can move on to the one after that. At this rate, your training will be finished way ahead of schedule."

Su Qi’s face lit up. "Does that mean my son is about to be born?"

Jingyue, still eating her tofu, looked at Su Qi and said, "And what if it’s a daughter?"

"Even if it’s a daughter by some one-in-ten-thousand chance, there’s still a nine-thousand, nine-hundred, and ninety-nine out of ten thousand chance it’ll be a son. So I’m definitely having a son," Su Qi said.

Jingyue: "..."
