It was only afterward that Jiang Zuo remembered. Lately, he’d been either pulling all-nighters or focusing on his Cultivation, completely neglecting his body.

Unexpected things were bound to happen at times like this.

Su Qi leaned against Jiang Zuo’s chest and chuckled. "Hey, it doesn’t feel like it’s been dark for long. Want to sleep a little longer?"

Jiang Zuo: "...No. What if I get hurt? I heard bad luck can be contagious. We should just rest with our eyes closed."

Su Qi giggled. "You’ve been in poor shape lately. Should I go get you some medicine?"

Jiang Zuo said with a straight face, "I think my body is perfectly fine."

Su Qi climbed on top of Jiang Zuo and hugged him. "I think this is great. You definitely won’t have the energy to think about other women."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

’He really had just been overdoing his Cultivation.’

’This had nothing to do with whether he would think about other women.’

’It was impossible for him to think about other women.’

Then Su Qi said again, "Let’s go to sleep."

"..."

「The next day.」

Jiang Zuo opened his eyes, his body feeling a little light. Su Qi was still nestled in his arms.

Jiang Zuo shifted slightly, and Su Qi opened her eyes as well.

The moment she saw Jiang Zuo, she smiled. "Good morning, honey."

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi, feeling a little dazed. He loved this kind of life (aside from certain body-taxing all-nighters). To him, Su Qi was truly special.

’Thank goodness he hadn’t missed his chance with Su Qi this time.’

Although he didn’t know how he had returned, he felt a sense of gratitude toward the person or thing that sent him back.

Jiang Zuo caressed Su Qi’s face. "Time to get up."

Su Qi grabbed Jiang Zuo’s hand, saying shyly, "Just a little longer. We haven’t slept together in days."

"..." Jiang Zuo just wanted to die.

"I meant *normal* sleeping. Look how scared you are." Su Qi then grinned. "Hehe, this is great. You definitely won’t be checking out your female colleagues at work now."

"..."

Afterward, Su Qi took off her Hairband and handed it to Jiang Zuo, then sat obediently in front of him.

Jiang Zuo took the Hairband and began to tie Su Qi’s hair.

It had already become a habit, a daily necessity for him.

"Did you miss me these past few days?" Su Qi asked.

Jiang Zuo nodded. "Occasionally."

Su Qi turned her head to look at Jiang Zuo. "Hm?"

"Occasionally I didn’t," Jiang Zuo repeated.

Su Qi turned her head back to face forward, then asked, "So, am I being too clingy?"

Jiang Zuo nodded again. "A little."

Su Qi turned back to look at him once more.

Then Jiang Zuo added, "A little not-clingy-enough."

Su Qi then turned her head forward again so Jiang Zuo could properly tie her hair.

"I’ve been wearing my Hairband the whole time. I never, ever took it off. Aren’t I a good girl?" Su Qi said with the pride of a little girl.

This time, Jiang Zuo nodded with genuine satisfaction.

Just then, Su Qi suddenly became serious. "Honey, do you want to have children?"

The question stunned Jiang Zuo, and he didn’t answer.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want them, but more that he wasn’t prepared at all.

He hadn’t had this kind of experience in his past life, either. Now that Su Qi had asked so suddenly, he really couldn’t put himself in the shoes of an ordinary person.

Hearing no response from Jiang Zuo for a long time, Su Qi turned to look at him again, messing up her hair in the process.

The Hairband was tied for nothing.

Jiang Zuo felt a bit helpless.

"Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you unhappy about me having your children?" Su Qi said to Jiang Zuo, dissatisfied.

Jiang Zuo sighed. "Of course I’m willing. But is it a good time for you? Should we wait a little longer?"

Su Qi said earnestly, "Just tell me if you want to or not."

With Su Qi being so serious, what else could Jiang Zuo say?

He immediately nodded. "I do."

"Then I’ll go apply. As long as the application is approved, we can go live in the Holy Land for two years. We’ll be able to have a baby in peace then," Su Qi said with a smile, then turned back around to let Jiang Zuo continue tying her hair.

Then Su Qi added, "If we live in the Holy Land for two years, will you get too bored and not be able to stand it?"

"As long as you’re there, I’ll definitely be able to stand it," Jiang Zuo said with certainty.

He meant it. As long as Su Qi was with him, anywhere was fine. Without Su Qi, no place could hold him.

Two years was a long time for the current Jiang Zuo, enough time to do many things. Without Su Qi, it would be impossible for him to stay in one place for two years.

But with Su Qi by his side, he could stay for hundreds, even thousands of years.

Being tired of something, or bored—such concepts didn’t exist for Jiang Zuo. Having lived his past life, he understood what it meant to be truly sick of something, and what true boredom was.

Su Qi leaned against Jiang Zuo again, asking softly, "What about... what about a few hundred years? As long as I’m here, you’ll be able to stay, right?"

"No." Before Su Qi could get upset, Jiang Zuo hugged her and said, "As long as you’re with me, I believe I can stay for any length of time. There is no upper limit.

I have absolute confidence in that."

Su Qi instantly melted in Jiang Zuo’s arms. "Really?"

"Really."

"We’re not even dressed yet. Should we...?"

"Get up. I’ll help you with your hair."

"..."

******

Around noon, Jiang Zuo watched as Su Qi carefully made her way down the stairs.

After just two steps, she turned to look back at Jiang Zuo. "I’m fine."

She then took a few more careful steps, turned back to him again, and said happily, "Still fine!"

Next, she hopped a short distance. Realizing nothing had happened, she skipped over to Jiang Zuo and said, "Honey, I think I’m really okay now!"

Jiang Zuo just smiled without speaking. He had anticipated this, but he’d never imagined that Su Qi’s period would be the trigger for the Misfortune Coin’s outbreak.

In that case, it would be best for Su Qi to stay by his side during her period.

’It should reduce some of the problems, at least.’

At least she wouldn’t fall after just a few steps.

After confirming she was completely fine, Su Qi stopped being cautious, ran down the rest of the stairs, and then dashed all around the room.

Nothing happened at all.

"Yay! I’m finally okay!"

At that moment, Jiang Zuo also came downstairs. Su Qi ran over to him, jumped into his arms, and said happily, "In that case, your wife will never be able to leave your side again. Are you happy?"

Jiang Zuo was taken aback. ’It seems that’s really the case.’

He then nodded with a smile. "Same here. You can be happy about that, too."

Su Qi froze for a second, then hugged Jiang Zuo joyfully.

Just then, the villa’s door opened. Jingyue stared at Su Qi and Jiang Zuo with lifeless eyes and said, "You two. Hurry up and go home."

’The moment I get back, I see these two hugging. If we’d come back any later, would they have done something even more outrageous?’

’Like kissing or something. As a Saintess and a Candidacy Saintess, we’re supposed to be very pure.’

Among the Candidacy Saintesses, only Su Qi was married. The others were all pure, innocent maidens in the bloom of youth.

Su Qi, however, ignored Jingyue’s comment and said happily, "Senior Sister, I’m all better! It seems you were right. As long as my husband is with me, the Misfortune Coin has no effect."

Jingyue paid no mind to her previous words. Instead, she came over to Su Qi and looked her over. "Aside from your spirits, I don’t see anything else that’s better about you.

Are you sure you’re okay?"

Su Qi nodded affirmatively.

Jingyue then nodded. "Confirmed. You’ve held up ten years of your husband’s luck. It looks like you’ll have to keep holding it up in the future."

Jiang Zuo greatly admired Sister Jingyue. It was true. Although his luck was still pretty good while he was with Su Qi, compared to his past life after he left her, it couldn’t be more ordinary.
