Chapter 184: Chapter 183: Everyone, Start Trembling

Su Qi was indeed gazing with longing, but her eyes were only for her husband.

She understood Jiang Zuo, at least to some extent.

Although she didn’t feel as anxious as before, she still wanted to see him. Jiang Zuo was a liar; she didn’t really believe him when he said he was fine.

Her husband was different from her. She was so demure, so virtuous and well-behaved, and she always told him when something was wrong.

Except for things about her Cultivation. Oh, and the time she crippled a group of guys who pursued her in school. Oh, and the time she brutally beat down anyone who tried to pursue Jiang Zuo.

’Well, no need to mention such trivial matters.’

In any case, their romantic journey as a couple had been exceptionally smooth, and that was enough.

But Jiang Zuo was different. He kept many things to himself, especially when he was in trouble.

Su Qi couldn’t rest easy without seeing him with her own eyes.

Especially after feeling so agitated yesterday. It was a terrible feeling, giving her the impulse to return to Jiang Zuo’s side at the first possible moment.

When she felt agitated, she just wanted to give Jiang Zuo a beating. Why did he have to make her worry so much for nothing?

’Speaking of which, when was the last time I hit my husband?’

’It seems it was when we were newly married.’

’Sure enough, after being together for so long, he didn’t care at all about our wedding night. And to think I’d looked forward to it for so long.’

She got angry just thinking about it. She really wanted to go back and give him another beating.

But she was also worried about him.

So, Su Qi was in a very complicated mood.

"What’s with that disappointed look on your face?" Jingyue said helplessly. "Hasn’t it only been two days? I’ve never seen you like this, not even when you’re away on business."

Su Qi shook her head. "I don’t know. It just started yesterday. I can’t rest easy until I can truly confirm he’s all right."

Jingyue thought for a moment before asking, "And what if something really did happen to him?"

Without a moment’s hesitation, Su Qi replied, "Then I won’t live anymore. I’ll live for as long as he does."

Jingyue was speechless. "You’re as childish as a teenage girl. Fine, I’ve finished compressing the picture. I just sent it to you through your mark."

Su Qi said happily, "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Jingyue said irritably, "Don’t thank me. Just promise that after you see the photo, you won’t start pestering me for a video. And of course, meeting him in person is completely out of the question."

Su Qi was speechless.

’It’s not like we’re in our honeymoon phase anymore. I wouldn’t be that dramatic.’

She just wanted to confirm whether her husband was all right.

’Of course, a video call or a face-to-face meeting would be even better.’

******

Jiang Zuo was currently heading toward the fifth floor. Just as he reached an intersection on the third floor, he took out the Mist.

The fifth floor was different from the sixth. There was no natural Maze Array up there, and since he was with such a conspicuous group, they would easily draw attention.

Using the Mist was much more suitable.

However, the Mist belonged to Blade Master Hai Bian. ’Looks like I’ll have to find a way to buy it from him,’ he thought. ’In the future, I might be able to use it to appear directly by Su Qi’s side and help her.’

’Of course, I won’t do that unless it’s absolutely necessary.’

’A woman’s intuition can be dangerous sometimes. The Mist might not be enough to fool it.’

Seeing Jiang Zuo shroud himself in the Mist, Fairy Mo Yan felt it was time.

She then took out a white mask and put it on as well.

The mask had a decent concealing effect and was an ordinary Magical Treasure.

Chi Xue Child asked in surprise, "Where’d you get that?"

Mo Yan said disdainfully, "You’re so out of touch. Dressed like this without a mask? Aren’t you asking me to bring shame upon all Demon Cultivators?

Our fearsome reputation as Demon Cultivators wasn’t earned by being a joke, you know."

Blade Master Hai Bian felt a little helpless. He thought that Demon Cultivator Mo Yan’s fearsome reputation was, in fact, earned by being a joke.

"Then why didn’t you wear it earlier?" Liu Yiyi asked.

Mo Yan glanced at Jiang Zuo up ahead, then whispered to Liu Yiyi, "It’s safer to follow the crowd! I’m just following the big shot’s lead and concealing my identity."

Chen Yi was surprised. "Has Fairy Mo Yan had a change of heart? Why is she being so cautious about something like this?"

Mo Yan was speechless.

Chi Xue Child and the others also wore strange expressions.

"Er..." Chen Yi sensed that their expressions weren’t right. Something was definitely up.

Even Demon Cultivator Mo Yan had chickened out. He decided it was probably best not to ask.

’Street-smart survival rule: discretion is the better part of valor.’

Just then, Liuyue Xue held out her hand to Mo Yan. Her meaning was clear: she wanted one too.

Mo Yan smiled faintly, and with a soft *poof*, produced a whole stack of masks.

"No need to rush, there’s one for everybody."

’Since we’re all wearing masks, it’s better if everyone joins in.’

’The same flashy clothes, the same simple masks, and a fishing speed that defies belief. How interesting would that be?’

Chi Xue Child said, "Did you steal our money? Since when are you so generous?"

As he spoke, Chi Xue Child even checked his pockets. Liuyue Xue also protectively clutched her Spirit Stones. Fortunately, nothing was missing.

Blade Master Hai Bian was truly broke, so he had nothing to worry about.

Mo Yan looked at them with disdain. "This is discrimination against Demon Cultivators."

Chi Xue Child and the others completely ignored her and started grabbing masks to put on.

Chu Qing asked curiously, "Why does each mask have a different pattern? And the color and placement are different too."

Mo Yan frowned. "It’s called style. Do you understand what style is?"

Jiang Zuo also glanced over and commented casually, "It’s an Illusion Array. All of you put one on, then have someone look at you from a distance."

The moment Jiang Zuo spoke, Mo Yan, beneath her mask, fell into a panic.

Everyone else turned to look at Mo Yan. They had all genuinely believed it was just a matter of style.

They then put on their masks, and Chu Qing went to look from a distance. He immediately cried out in surprise, filled with admiration for Mo Yan.

’Who knew a Demon Cultivator could be so multi-talented?’ he thought, and then snapped a photo.

There were many kinds of Illusion Arrays. Mo Yan’s was similar to a projection, and it was only visible from a distance.

Soon, Chu Qing posted the picture in the group chat.

Jiang Zuo also took out his phone to look. Although he could have seen it through other means, there was no need.

Soon, Jiang Zuo saw the picture.

In the picture was a girl with long, straight black hair, sitting on a stone stool and holding a fishing rod.

Her posture was steady and her expression was dignified. She even wore a wide-brimmed bamboo hat.

She had quite the air of an expert.

The person in the picture was Mo Yan, which was fine. The main issue was the three lines of text displayed vertically beside her.

The first line read: Demon Cultivator Mo Yan

The second line read: Leading the heroes, fishing in the Holy Land.

The third line read: Tremble before us, everyone!

Jiang Zuo stared for a long time before sighing with emotion. ’Kids these days really know how to have fun.’

But as for Chi Xue Child and the others, their killing intent flared.

"Where do you think you’re going, Fairy Mo Yan?" Blade Master Hai Bian grabbed her in one swift motion.

Mo Yan was a Tier Two Demon Cultivator with a Nightmare Specialization. Other than Blade Master Hai Bian, no one could have caught her so easily.

Mo Yan giggled slyly. "It’s a girl thing. It’s not convenient to talk about."

At that, Chi Xue Child drew his Red Sword, Liuyue Xue took out her newly acquired Heaven-Breaking Spear, and Liu Yiyi and the others all brandished their weapons.

Seeing this, Chu Qing excitedly took out her Thunder Mark Hammer.

Although this Chu Qing was small, she was also Tier Two. Her eyes held an eerie light that made one’s heart pound in alarm.

This was especially true for her brother, Chu Qing, who immediately ducked behind Xiao Xiaomo, terrified his sister might accidentally hurt him.

"Wait, don’t do this! Can’t I just pay you an advertising fee?

I’ll add you to the picture too! My drawing skills are amazing!

Agh, that hurts! It hurts!"
