My Wife Might Be a Saintess-Chapter 74 - 73: Good News, Bad News

Jiang Zuo left. As for Mo Yan and Chi Xue Child, they weren’t going to die.

After all, their elders were watching from behind the scenes.

It was also an opportunity for them to gain experience.

It was almost midnight by the time he got home. Only after leaving the Four Symbols Square Array did Jiang Zuo remember he was outside the city.

There was no public transport to take back, so he had to run all the way back to the city.

He rested for a moment at home, glanced at Sweet Potato sleeping in the water, and then began to process the Spirit Medicine.

Afterward, he refined these Spirit Medicines into Spiritual Liquid.

Compared to solid Spirit Pills, it was easier for the array to absorb liquid Spiritual Liquid.

After pouring the Spiritual Liquid into the array, Jiang Zuo observed it for a moment. He needed to determine if this amount was enough for him to reach level 1.4.

As it turned out, it wasn’t enough.

So, Jiang Zuo processed and refined the remaining herbs.

A long while later, Jiang Zuo poured a second batch of Spiritual Liquid into the array.

Jiang Zuo was currently missing one strand of Innate Qi. Although this would slow down his absorption, it wasn’t a major issue.

The only thing that frustrated him was his current inability to absorb the Five Elements Power or the Essence of Sun and Moon.

Because if he did, it would directly replenish his Innate Two Qi, making it even more difficult to advance to Innate Three Qi later on.

With everything ready, Jiang Zuo began to absorb the Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Liquid.

The process was slow, but fortunately, not painful.

Spiritual Qi flooded his body, and Jiang Zuo could clearly feel himself constantly knocking on the door to level 1.4.

A long time passed—so long that Jiang Zuo began to feel exhausted under the cleansing of the Spiritual Qi.

When Jiang Zuo opened his eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky.

Letting out a heavy breath, Jiang Zuo collapsed directly onto the floor.

He had completely absorbed the Spiritual Liquid. Although it had been a bit uncomfortable midway through, he had successfully reached level 1.4.

From now on, he was invincible within Tier One.

If he were to face that level 1.5 examiner again, it would no longer be a question of how many moves Jiang Zuo could make, but how many moves the examiner could withstand.

’The impact isn’t as shocking as when I was level 1.1, though.’

Now, even facing a level 1.7 opponent wasn’t a big deal. With his Cold Moon Attribute, it would be tiring, but he could still kill them.

As for Tier Two, that was still a headache. Advancing by 0.1 levels didn’t change the threat Tier Two cultivators posed to him.

Without overthinking it, Jiang Zuo climbed into bed and immediately fell asleep.

「The Saintess’s Residence」

"Senior Sister, it’s been so long. Are there any results yet?" Su Qi asked, watching Jingyue eat a piece of fruit.

Jingyue looked at Su Qi. "Nervous? This time, the outcome might really not be good."

"It’s just a coin, isn’t it? Besides, I don’t feel uncomfortable at all," Su Qi said, confused.

Just then, Jingyue’s phone rang, and she answered it.

A few minutes later, she hung up and looked at Su Qi. "Well, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Su Qi said, "The bad news."

Jingyue smiled, seemingly pleased by Su Qi’s cooperation. "The bad news is, you’ve been afflicted by the legendary Misfortune Coin."

"Misfortune is one of the most peculiar forces in the world. Forget you—even if Master were afflicted, she couldn’t avoid being harmed."

"Moreover, misfortune can trigger unimaginable disasters."

"Misfortune, like luck, is something that turns a minuscule probability into the most likely possibility."

"Choking to death on water, dying from a hiccup, having a meteor fall on you the moment you step outside... these are almost unavoidable disasters."

Su Qi said flatly, "Oh. And the good news?"

Jingyue said, "Is that your only reaction? Or are you just not concerned because you didn’t manage to drag your husband down with you?"

"Let me tell you, you can’t be with your husband while you’re like this."

Su Qi instantly put on an exaggerated expression and gasped, "H-How could this be? Th-Then what’s the good news?"

A dark expression crossed Jingyue’s face. That was even worse than her earlier "Oh."

’All because I didn’t give her one day off? Does she have to be so resentful?’

"The good news is, the power of the Misfortune Coin isn’t strong, so it won’t deal you a fatal blow. But to be safe, you must stay here with me for the time being. Don’t even think about going back. Master said that if it comes to it, she can explain it to your husband personally."

"Your husband has met Master before and knows who she is, anyway."

"Her credibility is quite high."

Su Qi sat on the sofa and said sullenly, "I feel like things are getting worse and worse."

"It’s not that bad. It’s only for a little while. It just so happens that we need to deal with the Blood Demon matter recently, so just think of it as being on a rather long business trip."

Then Jingyue added, "By the way, Master said she didn’t take the Balanced Glass Cabinet. If you dare to suspect her again, you’re dead meat. Also, don’t touch my things. They break easily."

Su Qi: "..."

「Perception No. 1 Group」

Blade Master Hai Bian: "Have you guys heard? The Holy Land has started gathering its people in secret."

Liuyue Xue posted a thinking emoji: "My intel says that someone came out of the Blood Demon’s main camp, but no one has revealed who it was."

Blade Master Hai Bian also said: "That’s right. But I heard someone from the Holy Land went to check it out. There were indeed a lot of Blood Demons, but they didn’t dare get too close."

"I’m suddenly really impressed with Fellow Daoist Po Xiao. When he says he’ll find something, he finds it. When he says he’ll get intel, he gets it. When he says he has an inside man, he has one."

Then Liuyue Xue @’d Fairy Mo Yan: "Fairy, didn’t you look for Fellow Daoist Po Xiao yesterday? You two must have gone together, right? Is Fellow Daoist Po Xiao okay?"

Mo Yan first sent a black-faced emoji, then sent a voice message.

The voice message said: *I’m right next to you, so why are you making me look at my phone? Can’t you just type it out for me instead of talking? Don’t you know I’m seriously injured?*

The voice was extremely weak.

Liuyue Xue replied with a message: "Then you could have just told me directly. Why did you have to send a voice message for me to listen to? Did you want me to listen to it twice?"

"..."

Mo Yan, defeated.

Liu Yiyi posted a confused emoji: "What happened to Fairy Mo Yan?"

Liuyue Xue replied: "Yesterday, she took Chi Xue Child and Fellow Daoist Po Xiao to participate in the Demon Cultivators’ Four Directions Divine Mirror. It seems they got a lot of stuff, but they ended up getting surrounded and beaten."

"Both Chi Xue Child and Mo Yan were seriously injured."

"What about Fellow Daoist Po Xiao?" Liu Yiyi asked.

"Don’t tell me he was seriously injured too?" Chen Yi piped up.

"Not at all. I heard that when the fighting started, Fellow Daoist Po Xiao just left the Four Symbols Square Array. The others couldn’t get out."

"..."

"..."

’You already knew, so why did you ask just now?’

And they realized that teaming up with Po Xiao was still very risky.

Who could blame him, when Boss Po Xiao was so arrogant?

At that moment, Jiang Zuo was a little annoyed because his phone kept ringing, which was disturbing his sleep.

Left with no choice, he finally answered the phone.

He then heard a slightly serious voice on the other end: "Hello, is this Mr. Jiang? We’re from XX Bank. We’ve just detected a transaction of 1.8 million on your credit card in Thailand. Can you please confirm if this was you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zuo, who was still half-asleep, answered subconsciously, "Yeah, I bought an elephant. What about it?"

"..."
