Chapter 667: Slept Until Morning

In the end, Jiang Zuo didn’t go after all.

It was a day filled with love.

An ordinary person might not understand that kind of love.

It was a love that seeped into the very marrow of his bones.

An unforgettable love.

Love, love, sigh…

The Holy Land’s Forbidden Area

Yue Xi sat by the lake. “I’ve been sitting here for so long, and you still haven’t remembered?”

Pure Goodness stood on the surface of the water and said, “The subjective consciousness says she’s forgotten. She has amnesia.”

Yue Xi said disdainfully, “Stop bluffing. I remember you being the one who told me.”

Pure Goodness said, “I am only a part of the subjective consciousness. My amnesia might be more severe. Why don’t you ask Pure Evil?”

As for Pure Evil, she was squatting on the water’s surface, drawing circles.

Yue Xi asked curiously, “What exactly is she doing?”

Pure Goodness said, “The prophecy that there would be no Saintess after Jiu Xi has been broken. She’s calculating the next one.”

Yue Xi looked at Pure Evil. “Will it still be accurate?”

Pure Goodness shook her head. “I don’t know anymore. This time seems different from the last. After all, we were inherently opposed to a male Candidacy Saintess, which meant we didn’t want to develop in this direction. That made things a bit difficult. So, it’s very likely to be inaccurate.”

There was no way Yue Xi could understand all this. Besides, the last prophecy—that there would be no Saintess after Jiu Xi—wasn’t just calculated by Pure Evil alone.

That conclusion was reached because the entire Array underwent a strange transformation.

Jiu Xi was an infinite match for the Saintess.

She was even an infinite match for that Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.

Now, it had become a male Candidacy Saintess, and no one knew why.

Other than the fact that he was a man, which was unusual, and that he was quite powerful, there were no other reasons.

So, Yue Xi stopped thinking about it. In any case, her senior brother had confirmed that the male Candidacy Saintess was one of them.

They could deal with it when the time came.

Right now, she still wanted to know about the Earth Valley Longyuan.

“Can you really not tell me?” Yue Xi asked.

Pure Goodness said, “The subjective consciousness says it will tell you in a few days. It doesn’t want to talk about it right now.”

Yue Xi was speechless.

Just then, her phone rang.

She saw that it was the ordinary woman calling her.

She then answered the call.

The ordinary woman’s voice came through. “Alright, I’ve found the location and finished communications. You can tell them to go.”

Yue Xi said, “I understand.”

After confirming the details, they hung up.

Yue Xi checked the time and saw it was late at night, so she decided not to inform Jiu Xi.

Instead, she directly dialed Jingyue’s number.

“Master, what are you doing? It’s the middle of the night,” Jingyue complained as soon as the call connected.

Yue Xi said, “I was originally going to call Xiaojiu, but they’re probably sleeping, so I didn’t want to disturb them.”

Jingyue said, “And you don’t think I might be sleeping too?”

Yue Xi said, “Are you married?”

Jingyue retorted, “Would the Holy Land even let me get married? And I guess single people don’t have rights, huh?”

Yue Xi didn’t want to argue and said directly, “Tomorrow, go to Baili Valley. The entrance is there. I’ve already coordinated with them.”

Jingyue said, “So soon? It’s only been a short while. The little whiner is going to complain.”

Yue Xi said, “It’s not like her husband isn’t with her. What’s there to complain about? And it’s not like we didn’t give the couple their private time. Things are different now. Besides, Xiaojiang is the main character this time. You guys are just his entourage.”

Jingyue said, “Having the Saintess and a Candidacy Saintess as an escort, that’s a huge honor. But they definitely won’t appreciate it.”

That was a given. “Entourage” was the nice way to put it. To put it bluntly, they were just third wheels.

It’d be a miracle if they appreciated it.

Yue Xi, of course, paid no mind to this. “Just handle it yourselves. And don’t cause any trouble when the time comes.”

Jingyue casually agreed. ‘Who would cause trouble?’

‘We’re all adults. We know our limits.’

Heheheh.

「The Next Day」

Jiang Zuo woke up very early. (Or rather, he hadn’t been asleep for long.)

Was there something wrong with his body?

Of course not. He just didn’t feel like moving.

It was the weekend, so he didn’t have to work. He could sleep in a little longer, maybe until noon.

Right now, Su Qi, with her messy hair, was snuggling against him. It was probably getting cold, and they needed to switch to a thicker blanket.

Jiang Zuo glanced at Su Qi. How should he put it? With her messy hair and partially covered body, she had a unique charm. But in Jiang Zuo’s eyes, no matter how unique or alluring that charm was, it was still bland.

So he pulled the blanket up to cover Su Qi properly.

Although it was bland, he didn’t mind Su Qi snuggling in his arms to sleep.

After all, she was his wife. That was different.

Of course, if it were any other woman, she’d probably be dead already.

Right now, he didn’t even dare to think too much about Jiu Xi, afraid he might lash out subconsciously. While he wouldn’t actually deliver a killing blow, it was still possible he might swat her away or something.

If he accidentally swatted Su Qi awake, she might misunderstand his intentions, and that would be bad.

Mornings, of course, were for sleeping.

But after lying there for just a little while, Su Qi’s phone rang.

Su Qi heard it but didn’t want to answer. Instead, she just hugged Jiang Zuo tighter.

So, naturally, Jiang Zuo reached over to answer the phone.

It was a call from Sister Jingyue.

“Sister Jingyue?” Jiang Zuo said.

Jingyue didn’t sound surprised on the other end. “Calling me Sister Jingjing would be better. It makes me happier.”

“Oh. Sister Jingyue.”

Jingyue didn’t mind and asked, “Is your wife still sleeping?”

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi, who was clinging to him with no intention of opening her eyes, and replied, “Yeah.”

Jingyue said, “Get over to my place before noon. We’re going to Baili Valley. The entrance to the Earth Valley Longyuan is there. Anyway, it’s time to set off.”

“Yeah.” It seemed like a placid response.

In reality, Jiang Zuo was ecstatic.

Then he hung up.

“I can feel it. You’re happy,” Su Qi said, looking at Jiang Zuo with one eye open. “Are we about to set off? And you can get a break for a while?”

Jiang Zuo was speechless.

‘Su Qi is terrifying,’ Jiang Zuo thought. ‘She guesses everything I’m thinking. This makes things very difficult for me.’

Jiang Zuo didn’t say anything about that, just stating, “We need to be at Sister Jingyue’s place before noon.”

Su Qi immediately flopped back onto Jiang Zuo. “Then let’s sleep a little longer.”

Then Su Qi hugged Jiang Zuo tightly, genuinely intending to just sleep.

Jiang Zuo had no objections to that.

“Since we’re going out together, I’ll let you off the hook. If I were the only one going out, I definitely wouldn’t have let you off,” Su Qi mumbled drowsily.

‘I should try to go out with her more often in the future,’ Jiang Zuo thought.

‘Uh, no, that’s not right. If I do that, I won’t be able to do my own things.’

‘Forget it. Once my body recovers, there will be a time when Su Qi will be the one crying.’

He then held Su Qi and went back to sleep.

A long time later, Su Qi’s phone rang again.

As soon as he answered, Jingyue’s furious roar came through. “You two are too much! This is a silent way of showing off, you know? I’m giving you ten minutes. Fly over here. Do you know what time it is? Have you two been separated for that long? Have we not given you enough alone time as a couple? Can you not be so outrageous?”

Only then did they realize it was already 12:30.

They had gone to bed too late last night.
