My Wife Might Be a Saintess-Chapter 70 - 69: Grade-9 Spirit Stone?

In the end, Jiang Zuo still took a taxi. Mo Yan sat in the passenger seat, fuming. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Cocky. Just keep being cocky. You’re the big shot, so you can afford to be," Mo Yan muttered through gritted teeth.

She didn’t dare to actually speak up, though. It would be very dangerous if he heard her.

Jiang Zuo wasn’t strong, but Mo Yan had never seen anyone so cocky. Then again, she’d never seen a Tier One who could be this incredible, either.

That was why she was subconsciously intimidated by Jiang Zuo.

"Driver, can you go any faster?"

"This is as fast as I can go. Any faster and I’ll be speeding."

"But it’s so slow! I could run faster than this."

Mo Yan had absolutely no patience. They were going to be late!

Being late would be a huge blow to her prestige. Starting today, she was going to make her name known throughout the Demon Cultivation Realm.

The taxi driver, of course, didn’t believe a word Mo Yan said. He just thought she was bragging. If he had smelled alcohol, he would have suspected she was drunk.

If there had been a hint of Sprite, he would have assumed she was drunk on Sprite.

Before nightfall, Jiang Zuo and Mo Yan made it to their destination.

They were far from the city now, well beyond what could even be considered the suburbs.

After getting out of the car, Mo Yan led Jiang Zuo deep into the woods.

Soon, Jiang Zuo saw a lake with Chi Xue Child standing by its shore.

Besides Chi Xue Child, there were nine other people by the lake. Jiang Zuo didn’t pay much attention to who they were, noticing only that Chi Xue Child was in a standoff with them.

However, the fact that he was chewing on a popsicle completely ruined the atmosphere.

The arrival of Jiang Zuo and Mo Yan naturally startled them.

Chi Xue Child looked at them and said, "You’re finally here! Any later and they would have skinned me alive."

As he spoke, Chi Xue Child took a few more bites of his popsicle. This time, however, he had no intention of sharing it with Jiang Zuo or Mo Yan.

Apparently, neither of the two was worthy of his popsicle.

Mo Yan straightened her clothes, strode forward, and declared boldly, "What’s going on? Are they in that much of a hurry to die?"

"Someone wanted to make a grand entrance, but it’s a shame her method was so low-rent," a woman with heavy makeup said sarcastically.

Mo Yan retorted, "Who’s low-rent? We’re being low-carbon and environmentally friendly."

Jiang Zuo was utterly speechless. ’That explanation is worse than no explanation at all.’

"Alright, everyone is here. Let’s begin," said a man holding a fan who looked like a scholar from ancient times.

Jiang Zuo was slightly surprised. ’This scholar is a Demon Cultivator, too?’

’He looks more like a sinister "good guy".’

’Oh well. So-called Demon Cultivators just have significantly different Cultivation Techniques. There are no restrictions on their attire.’

’Mo Yan was right. Whether one follows the immortal or demonic path, it’s all just Cultivation.’

At this point, they all divided into four teams of three.

The four teams took their positions on four sides of the lake, forming a large square.

Each team was led by one person. Mo Yan was naturally the leader of Jiang Zuo’s team. The other three were led by the heavily made-up woman, the scholar-like man, and a fierce man with a scar on his face who looked like the very stereotype of a Demon Cultivator.

Then, these four leaders threw a Wooden Token toward the lake.

As Mo Yan threw out her Wooden Token, a Cyan Dragon soared into the sky, its roar echoing thunderously.

Subsequently, the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu also shot into the sky. The Four Symbols manifested, and the array’s orientation was set.

The Four Symbols Square Array was a Trapping Array, easy to enter but difficult to leave. This was likely designed to prevent anyone from forfeiting and escaping.

In short, once you were inside, you either crushed others or were crushed by them until you were psychologically scarred.

’Truly the style of Demon Cultivators.’

Once the Four Symbols Square Array was complete, Mo Yan said, "Let’s go. We’re heading in."

The three of them then walked into the Four Symbols Square Array.

As soon as they entered, Mo Yan formed an invisible platform at her feet and rose into the air.

As one of the masters of the Four Symbols Square Array, Mo Yan had that authority and ability.

After all, they were hovering over a lake. Falling in would be disastrous.

The other nine people did the same as Mo Yan, floating in the air with their groups.

Chi Xue Child asked, "Didn’t they say there was a Divine Mirror event? We’ve got the Array now, but where are the items? How are we supposed to appraise anything without the items?"

Jiang Zuo looked at the Four Symbols Square Array and said, "The items are here. They’re just hidden. They’ll appear soon."

"They appear randomly, so it will all depend on how well they can control the Four Symbols Array. Whoever is more agile will have an easier time obtaining the treasures."

Just then, Mo Yan asked, "Boss, can you just pull the treasures straight out?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "It’s not that simple. This isn’t just a regular Array. Trying to take them by force will trigger an indiscriminate attack, and with my Cultivation, I wouldn’t be able to block it."

Before Mo Yan could say anything, Jiang Zuo added, "Neither could any of you."

Fair enough. Mo Yan was speechless. She could only wait for the treasures to appear.

The four leaders were the main players; everyone else was just support. That’s why it didn’t matter if the support members were Demon Cultivators.

Once they were ready, the first beam of light appeared within the Four Symbols Array. The first treasure had emerged.

Without a shred of hesitation, all four leaders began manipulating the Array to seize the treasure.

Mo Yan sent the Cyan Dragon roaring toward it, but the heavily made-up woman had her White Tiger step on the Cyan Dragon to leap past.

Mo Yan was furious. "Witch Dan Xue, you’re shameless! You actually used me as a stepping stone! And you have the gall to call yourself the Saintess of the Demon Cultivation Realm."

Witch Dan Xue sneered, "You’re already calling me a Witch. Why bring up the Saintess part?"

Jiang Zuo was surprised. He asked Chi Xue Child, "That’s the Demon Cultivator Saintess? She’s a far cry from Saintess Yue Lian."

Chi Xue Child chewed on his popsicle. "Demon Cultivators probably have unique tastes. They must think she looks good like that."

By this time, the treasure had already been claimed. It was the scholar.

The light faded, revealing a faintly glowing Spirit Stone in front of the scholar.

The moment they saw the Spirit Stone, everyone’s jaw dropped.

Chi Xue Child’s popsicle dropped and shattered.

"N-No way," Mo Yan said in disbelief. "A Ninth, Ninth-Grade Spirit Stone? Those old fogeys were that generous?"

Chi Xue Child added, "Mo Yan, why didn’t you try harder just now? We were so close to striking it rich!"

The scholar himself stared at the Spirit Stone, his face flushed with excitement.

The Spirit Stone was still under a seal. Only by stating its correct name and function would the seal disappear. Otherwise, the treasure would return to the Array.

The scholar took a deep breath and declared, "A Ninth-Grade Spirit Stone. It contains extremely pure Spiritual Qi, which can be absorbed for cultivation or used as currency."

For a moment, the scholar thought the item was his. The others, their faces a mixture of envy and regret, also believed it was about to become his possession. However, to everyone’s surprise, the treasure slipped away from the scholar and returned to the Array.

In that instant, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

The scholar felt as if a cooked duck had just flown away.

Mo Yan was shocked. "What happened?"

Chi Xue Child immediately shouted, "Forget what happened! Go get it!"
