My Wife Might Be a Saintess-Chapter 67 - 66: What a Coincidence, You’re Back?

After sneaking out, Jingyue and Su Qi headed straight for their residence.

Although they had asked someone to check, they had to see it with their own eyes to truly understand the situation.

After a long while, they finally arrived at the villa’s entrance.

Jingyue looked at the villa’s Array and said, "The Array really is fine. It hasn’t been altered or damaged at all."

Su Qi said, "But he still got in. Did he dig a tunnel? Does the Array cover the underground?"

Jingyue froze for a moment, then looked at Su Qi and said, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? The thought never even crossed my mind."

Su Qi said irritably, "Weren’t you the one who kept assuring me it was foolproof?"

Jingyue said, "...Forget it. Let’s go inside first. I’ll extend the barrier underground later."

Soon, Jingyue and Su Qi passed through the Array and entered the house. As soon as they were inside, they saw that the box in the living room was gone, and the camouflage and a lamp had been tossed on the floor.

Jingyue tutted. "How civilized. The lamp was placed down so neatly. It means he wasn’t rushed or nervous at all while he was searching; he was perfectly calm. He’s either a seasoned pro or extremely confident in himself."

Su Qi picked up the box’s camouflage and said coldly, "He’d better hope I don’t catch him, or I’ll break his arms and legs."

Jingyue said, "Alright, let’s go check the rooms first and see if anything’s been rummaged through. Like, see if any underwear is missing."

Su Qi’s face darkened. "Senior Sister, what kind of pervert do you think broke in? What if the person was a woman?"

"I am a Saintess, pure and holy. People of any gender might get some... other ideas. Besides, Cultivators are still human. We have feelings and desires, and of course, there’s no shortage of perverts among us," Jingyue said with a grin.

Ignoring Su Qi’s disdainful look, they each went back to their rooms.

A moment later, they returned to the living room on the first floor.

Su Qi said, "My room hasn’t been touched. How about our dear Saintess? Is any of your underwear missing?"

"Of course," Jingyue said. Just as Su Qi started to look surprised, Jingyue added glumly, "not a single one is missing."

Su Qi looked at the signs in the living room. "It seems like he only stayed in the living room. Is he really that good? Finding the box the moment he came in? How did he know? Could it have been Master?"

Jingyue nodded. "Now that you mention it, that’s a real possibility. Master already knew the location, erasing your mark would be child’s play for her, and the Array could never stop her.

Should we call and confront her?"

Su Qi sighed. "Senior Sister, think about it. If Master wanted to steal it, would confronting her do any good? She’d just turn it around on us, questioning how we couldn’t even guard a single box, and then she’d string us up and beat us."

Jingyue sighed. "You’re usually so smart. How come you turn into a complete idiot whenever it involves your husband? Anyway, stop rolling your eyes at me. I’m going to the bathroom."

Jingyue walked to the bathroom door, thought for a moment, and said, "You know what, it’s more comfortable in my own room’s bathroom. This one’s all yours. You can touch up your makeup and then head home."

Su Qi went to the bathroom and said, annoyed, "I don’t wear makeup, you know."

But even if you don’t wear makeup, you still look in the mirror. With that thought, Su Qi opened the door and went inside.

The moment Su Qi stepped inside, a coin fell from above.

Curious, Su Qi instinctively caught it in her hand.

In that instant, a black light burst forth, enveloping Su Qi completely.

Su Qi jumped in fright. She immediately threw the coin and backed away, but no matter how she retreated, she couldn’t escape the ominous light.

Greatly alarmed, Su Qi unleashed her full Cultivation, but it was useless.

The light covered her entire body before rapidly merging into her.

Just then, a light erupted from Jingyue and shone on Su Qi, but it too was useless.

The aura of endless calamity was nearly unstoppable.

When the light vanished, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Su Qi looked nervously at Jingyue. "Senior Sister?"

Jingyue’s expression instantly changed. She went to Su Qi’s side and said, "Don’t panic. Let me take a look."

Su Qi was still nervous. "I don’t feel hurt, but there’s definitely some hidden danger. Will it affect my ability to have children?"

Jingyue’s serious expression instantly crumbled.

’What on earth is this woman thinking?’

Still, Jingyue performed a thorough check of Su Qi’s body and found absolutely nothing wrong.

But that was clearly impossible. There had to be something they couldn’t detect.

"This won’t do. You have to go back and let Master take a look. It would be bad if there’s some dangerous hidden problem."

Jingyue then walked to the bathroom entrance, where the coin still lay.

She picked it up gingerly and saw the character for "Calamity" on it. Flipping it over, she saw a cage, and inside the cage was a person.

Jingyue looked closely and realized the person bore a striking resemblance to Su Qi.

Jingyue frowned. "Junior Sister, you really have to go back and ask Master for help this time."

Su Qi asked worriedly, "What is it?"

"See for yourself." Jingyue showed the coin to Su Qi.

Su Qi saw herself trapped in the cage and asked in astonishment, "What is this?"

"I don’t know, but I know this thing isn’t simple. We can’t delay dealing with this."

"But I haven’t gone back to see Jiang Zuo yet. How about we call and ask Master? And the matter with the Blood Demon isn’t resolved either. How can I just leave?"

Jingyue thought for a moment. "Alright, you go back first. I’ll ask Master and see if you should go to her, or if she’ll come over.

But no matter what, you’re not allowed to be willful this time. You have to cooperate with us."

"Yes, yes, I know. It’s not like I want something bad to happen to me."

******

Jiang Zuo sighed at home. Su Qi had just called him. She was coming back.

In theory, this should have been a happy occasion, but it meant he had to erase the Arrays and put away the Moon Lotus Flower.

It seemed Su Qi wasn’t coming back to reconcile this time, but to interrogate him.

With so much stuff out, there was no way he could bluff his way through it.

He didn’t want Su Qi to know that he was a Cultivator yet, so aside from Sweet Potato, Jiang Zuo packed everything away.

He even muted the "Perception No. 1" group chat.

He also made a point to tell Liuyue Xue not to deliver the medicine yet, just in case Su Qi saw the call or a message.

For the first time, Jiang Zuo felt that he could actually be this exhausted.

After packing everything away and sealing his Cultivation, Jiang Zuo sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and started to pretend to watch it.

Speaking of which, he had actually been a big fan of anime in his past life. He even remembered watching the latest episode on his wedding day.

Su Qi had beaten him half to death for that.

The past was not worth looking back on. Recalling it just made him want to dig a hole and hide.

’What was it I was watching back then?’

Thinking of this, Jiang Zuo specifically looked it up. Wow, it was still being updated.

Then, he started watching it without thinking.

He ended up watching several episodes, and as he was watching, the door opened.

Jiang Zuo turned to look. Well, if it wasn’t Su Qi. "What a coincidence. It’s just getting to the climax. Want to watch together?"
