Chapter 301: Chapter 300: Can Your Big Sister Try On This Hairband?

Jingyue was astonished. She hadn’t been able to understand and memorize it all at once, so why could Su Qi?

’Does this little grumbler have higher clearance than me?’

’That’s obviously impossible. Is it because of the Hairband?’

’Can a Life-Protecting Treasure have this kind of effect?’

Jingyue didn’t know.

But it didn’t matter. What she had just obtained was enough for her Cultivation.

’I’ll worry about the rest later.’

Afterward, Jingyue went to the other stone steles and found nothing special about them.

Just then, Lan Yue said, "The three stone steles are connected in some way. The passive trigger has probably expired; it needs to be activated manually."

Jingyue looked at Lan Yue in surprise, then nodded. What she said made a lot of sense.

After all, everything that had happened to her so far had been triggered passively, and once a trigger occurred, she could never see it again.

’It’s highly likely that those things are still there, but I have to reveal my identity to see them.’

Jingyue then activated the mark between her eyebrows.

She soon felt it, and then her entire body vanished.

After Jingyue disappeared, those auras returned.

Lan Yue was dumbfounded.

Qing Lian sighed. "Fairy Lan Yue, come on. Let’s squeeze together."

"..."

Meanwhile, after disappearing, Jingyue soon reappeared on an underground altar.

Su Qi was still off to the side, looking dazed or perhaps confused.

"Little grumbler, what are you thinking about?"

The sudden voice made Su Qi jump.

Then, Su Qi said happily, "Senior Sister, you’re finally here to rescue me?"

As she spoke, Su Qi started to run toward Jingyue, only to take a single step and fall flat on her face with a THUD.

Jingyue was dumbfounded. "Paying your respects to your big sister? Isn’t this a bit too formal?"

Su Qi lifted her bruised face and said, "Senior Sister, I think it’s acting up."

"What? Also, you’re hurt? Who did this to you?"

Su Qi said sheepishly, "I fell."

"???" Jingyue then came to a realization. "The Misfortune Coin is acting up? Why? Haven’t you been sleeping with your husband lately?"

"Senior Sister..." Su Qi drew out the words, sounding a little shy.

"Hold on, let me think."

Jingyue then considered that Jiang Zuo might not be an ordinary person. So, how did he manage to win Su Qi over back then?

She recalled for a moment and realized that regardless of whether Jiang Zuo was ordinary or not, he had at least acted ordinary back then, with no connection to Cultivation whatsoever.

So, did he really rely on luck to win Su Qi’s heart?

Thinking of this, Jingyue nodded. ’Looks like my theory is correct.’

"What theory?" Su Qi asked curiously.

"That your husband won you over purely through luck. But given your relationship, it’s impossible that you two aren’t sleeping together. So, has anything happened recently? Oh, right. If ’that time of the month’ has come, the balance has probably been broken," Jingyue said, still with an air of complete seriousness.

’And the theory made perfect sense.’

Su Qi rolled her eyes. "So does this mean I’m going to be unlucky for a few days every month? And that I can never leave my husband for the rest of my life?"

Jingyue asked in surprise, "As if you could leave him?"

Su Qi smiled. "I can’t."

Jingyue then helped Su Qi up and said, "What were you doing just now? And what happened here?"

Su Qi stood up, then glanced back. "A moment ago, I felt like there was someone next to me. But it was just for an instant, so I don’t know if I was imagining things."

"I’ve been here for a while, how come you didn’t sense me?" Jingyue said irritably. "Don’t tell me it was your husband again. Are all your Skills specialized for your husband?"

Su Qi was disdainful. ’What does she mean, all my Skills are specialized for my husband?’

’I do have a sense for danger every now and then.’

Su Qi didn’t dwell on it. Her senior sister always found a way to blame things on her husband anyway.

Then, she recounted everything she had seen and encountered there.

Finally, she asked, "I didn’t cause you any trouble, did I?"

Jingyue didn’t say anything. ’You didn’t cause me any trouble this time, but you probably made a lot of trouble for your husband.’

"Let me have a look, too." As she spoke, she activated the mark and, sure enough, saw what Su Qi had described.

After watching, Jingyue fell into deep thought. ’So, in other words, Chaos is the Forbidden Land Maiden’s pet?’

’And if we want to obtain this pet, we have to undergo a trial?’

Then Jingyue looked at Su Qi. She really didn’t know if this little grumbler was unlucky or fortunate to have tamed Chaos through such a fluke.

"Senior Sister, why are you looking at me like I’m an idiot?" Su Qi said, annoyed.

"Without a husband, you’re not an idiot. But since you have one, you’re not far off."

With that, Jingyue moved behind Su Qi and looked at her Hairband. "Did your husband give you this Hairband? Want to let your big sister try it on?"

Su Qi protected her Hairband. "No way. My husband told me several times not to take it off, and I promised. What if he finds out and gets upset?

He’s already upset that I’m away on a ’business trip.’ He’s so petty; if I don’t wear it, he’ll definitely be upset.

Besides, wearing it puts my mind at ease.

It feels like he’s supporting me, protecting me."

Jingyue said nothing. ’I’m pretty sure Jiang Zuo knows about this Hairband’s effects,’ she thought. ’And the way it’s tied is almost identical.’

Jingyue smiled. "Little grumbler, have you ever regretted marrying an ordinary person?"

"Regret? Why would I regret it? Although I get angry sometimes, I feel incredibly happy," Su Qi said casually, as if it wasn’t even a real question.

Or rather, she had never even considered the question.

Jingyue smiled. She still felt that Jiang Zuo was incredibly lucky. Su Qi was truly wonderful.

Aside from the issue with her "business trips," she was practically flawless.

But as long as she returned to the Holy Land for advanced training, that little flaw would be gone, too.

Shaking her head, Jingyue smiled. "Come on, your big sister will get you out of here."

Su Qi was surprised. "Out? How do we get out? I couldn’t find a way just now.

Oh, right, Senior Sister. Who were those two people I saw earlier?"

Jingyue hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I can only tell you that the woman you saw is connected to the Forbidden Land. And you can’t tell anyone."

Su Qi froze. "I remember there’s someone in the Forbidden Land, right? Could it be..."

"See it, but don’t say it. This is a great secret of the Saintess. Don’t let it get out," Jingyue said.

Su Qi’s mind suddenly raced with possibilities. It felt like she had just learned so much.

But she didn’t dwell on it.

She wasn’t the Saintess, after all. To her, her husband was more important.

She no longer wanted to be the Saintess. Unless she could still be with her husband every day, she didn’t want the title.

When Jingyue and Su Qi reappeared in the great hall, they saw Qing Lian and Lan Yue huddled together on the stone stele.

Qing Lian and Lan Yue’s faces were filled with resentment. These people just came and went as they pleased.

They had no regard for the feelings of those left behind.

Jingyue laughed awkwardly. "Well, uh, let’s go check out the surrounding area. We might find something."

At this point, Jiang Zuo had also left his location. He planned to get out of here; with Chaos around, Su Qi couldn’t possibly be in any danger.

Besides, he had just learned through the altar that Jingyue had already taken Su Qi away.

She shouldn’t be in any more danger.

But if he stayed any longer, he would be in danger.

This place was both big and small. If they ran into each other, it would be all over.
