Chapter 647 - 646: Do You Really Like Me?

Chapter 647: Chapter 646: Do You Really Like Me?

Jiang Zuo saw no reason to hesitate and prepared to walk right in.

Su Qi suddenly called out, "Wait."

Jiang Zuo was confused.

Su Qi looked at Yue Xi and said, "Master, will it be dangerous? If it is..."

Before she could finish, Yue Xi said, "It’s dangerous if you have a weak heart. Ask Xiaojiang."

Jiang Zuo walked over to Su Qi, patted her on the head, and said, "It’s no problem at all."

Su Qi complained, "The way you pat my head makes it feel like you’re placating a child."

Jiang Zuo said, "But we agreed you’d never have to grow up."

"Ahem." Jingyue coughed off to the side.

’These two are going too far.’

Jiang Zuo retracted his hand. Su Qi pouted, then said, "If you feel uncomfortable at all, just give up."

Jiang Zuo felt rather helpless. ’Shouldn’t she be cheering me on?’

’Something like, "I believe in you," or "My husband is the best!"’

Unfortunately, Su Qi never said anything of the sort.

Of course, Jiang Zuo didn’t dwell on it. Su Qi was a bit silly to begin with; she probably thought her husband was even sillier than she was.

After that, Jiang Zuo turned and walked into the Illusionary Heart Array.

The moment Jiang Zuo stepped into the Array, he smiled. ’Good. The Array is generating the illusions on its own. I just have to be a passerby.’

Watching Jiang Zuo enter, Su Qi still felt a little worried.

Jingyue asked, "Master, do you think Jiang Zuo can pass?"

Yue Xi shook her head.

Jingyue had expected her master to say she didn’t know, but instead, Yue Xi said, "He won’t be able to pass."

Jingyue and Su Qi were both astonished.

Su Qi protested, "Why would you say that, Master? My husband is very exceptional."

Yue Xi shook her head again. "This has nothing to do with being exceptional or not. I can’t say for sure about the earlier parts, but at the very end, I left an ultimate trump card for him.

"If my guess is right, Xiaojiang won’t be able to pass."

Jingyue was surprised. "Master, what did you leave?"

Su Qi said, feeling wronged, "Master, are you trying to stop me from advancing my cultivation?"

Yue Xi shook her head. "As your master, I need to test his character."

Jingyue looked at Yue Xi and said, "I get the feeling Master is just playing around. This isn’t some kind of scheme, is it?"

Yue Xi said sternly, "I am doing this for their own good. You’ll understand when you see what happens later. Don’t get distracted. This is a rare opportunity."

Su Qi looked at her master. She felt that something was off.

As for what "killer move" her master had left at the end, Su Qi had no idea. Not a single clue.

In any case, she hoped her husband would pass. That way, she could advance her cultivation, and they could have a child.

By now, Jiang Zuo was already inside the Array. It would take some time to walk to the end.

But Jiang Zuo wasn’t in a hurry. He walked at a steady, unhurried pace. Before him was a vast expanse of white.

This was an effect of the Array. Making it ineffective against him would only take an instant.

But Jiang Zuo certainly wasn’t going to do that. The result would be far too sensational.

He’d definitely have to endure an interrogation from Su Qi afterward.

And in this Mist so thick you could barely see your hand in front of your face, Jiang Zuo suddenly saw a blade lunging toward him, aimed straight between his eyes.

It was as if the tip of the blade was just an inch from his face.

The moment the blade appeared, Su Qi was so frightened she cried out.

However, Jiang Zuo, facing the blade’s tip, simply ignored it, allowing it to pierce through the space between his eyebrows.

This terrified Su Qi.

’What if it’s real?’

’What if?’

’Why didn’t he even try to dodge?’

Yes, under normal circumstances, any normal person would instinctively dodge. But Jiang Zuo didn’t. For him, such a pointless action was unnecessary.

’It’s not like the attacker is Su Qi.’

Seeing Jiang Zuo not even flinch, Yue Xi was stunned. "Was he too scared to dodge, or did he choose not to?"

Jingyue said, "Master, just look at my brother-in-law’s expression. It’s blank. He probably chose not to dodge?"

Su Qi said, "But what if it was real?"

Yue Xi said, "But isn’t there a 99.99 percent chance it’s fake? It’s fine."

Jingyue: "..."

Su Qi: "..."

They fell silent, deciding to just keep watching Jiang Zuo in the Illusion Realm.

Jiang Zuo continued walking. He didn’t think there was anything that required him to retreat. ’Auntie’s efforts are completely wasted.’

Since it was all fake, there was nothing he needed to yield to or avoid.

If he weren’t curious to see what tricks the illusions had in store, he could have just walked through with his eyes closed.

Just then, there was a sudden BOOM, as if something had exploded.

Then, Auntie’s voice rang out from behind him, sounding extremely anxious. "Xiaojiang, get out of the Illusion Realm! This place is under attack! You need to leave with Su Qi and the others, quickly!"

Jingyue’s voice followed. "Master, come quick! Junior Sister is injured!"

Another BOOM followed, sounding terrifyingly real.

Jiang Zuo’s steps faltered.

He could tell it was fake, but it definitely wasn’t a sound from the Illusion Realm. It was more like... a recording.

But...

Su Qi was injured. The thought made him want to turn back and look.

He had to admit, Auntie had found his weak spot.

If he were truly lost in the illusion, those words would have been enough to make him turn back.

But Jiang Zuo only paused for a moment before continuing forward.

Outside, Su Qi cried out, "Master, you’ve gone too far! Aren’t you just trying to force my husband to retreat?"

Jingyue asked curiously, "Master, why do you have a recording of my voice?"

Yue Xi said to Su Qi, "This is still merciful. It would be even meaner if I added a little something extra, like him saying he doesn’t love you."

Then Yue Xi looked at Jingyue and said, "Because it’s a recording from a long time ago."

Jingyue: "..., Master, you’re terrifying."

’She even kept a recording from that long ago.’

Yue Xi laughed. "Of course. I’ve kept mementos of both of your entire childhoods. I’ll give them to you as gifts when you’re all grown up."

Jingyue and Su Qi were speechless.

Jiang Zuo had seen it all, but still, Auntie had gone too far.

Just as Jiang Zuo was lost in thought, a face suddenly appeared right in front of him, forcing him to stop again.

It wasn’t for any other reason than the face before him belonged to a beautiful, yet unfamiliar, woman.

Her lips were practically touching his.

Jiang Zuo instantly understood what Auntie had meant earlier. His wife was watching from the outside.

After that, Jiang Zuo went around her. He didn’t dare pass straight through.

It was a graceful Fairy, but Jiang Zuo didn’t recognize her.

It was hard to say if she even really existed, but she was a woman nonetheless.

And just a moment ago, he had been tempted to raise his hand and obliterate her.

’Auntie is really too much.’

’Testing my limits time and time again.’

From the moment the recording played, Jiang Zuo knew this Illusion Realm was Auntie’s masterpiece.

Since Auntie was being so unreasonable, he would pass this trial just to show her.

Jiang Zuo didn’t believe there was anything he couldn’t overcome.

No matter how clever the words, they were all fake. None of it could truly stop him.

But just at that moment, the Mist dissipated.

And as the Mist cleared, Jiang Zuo saw a young woman suddenly turn her head back, tilting it as she looked in his direction.

At that moment, the sunlight shone down on her, creating a feeling that everything was just right.

Then, the young woman suddenly smiled and said, "Do you really like me?"

The instant he saw this scene, Jiang Zuo’s pupils constricted.
