My Wife Might Be a Saintess
Chapter 207 - 206: When Can We See Po Xiao in a Sorry State?
The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit vanished. No one knew whether it had been destroyed.
Only Jiang Zuo knew that the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit was not so easily broken. Completely destroying it would require special methods.
But if the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit were allowed to fuse with Su Qi, the consequences would be unimaginable. It was highly likely that Saintess Jiu Xi from the previous life would be fully born.
That would be an incomplete version of Su Qi.
However, the existence of the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit represented the secret of immortality. If others learned of this, wouldn’t they go mad trying to seize it?
’Just like when I first appeared in my previous life?’
The secret of immortality... Jiang Zuo might have been tempted by it in the past, but he no longer felt that way.
With his abilities, immortality held little meaning for him. If he feared death, he wouldn’t have courted it so recklessly.
Besides, so what if someone obtained the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit?
The restrictions on this thing must be extremely high.
One would have to be either a Saintess or a Candidacy Saintess.
Immortality was far from being as simple as one might think. The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit was surely involved in many things.
The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit alone couldn’t grant immortality, yet it contained the secret to it.
The Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit was guided back to the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion. Golden Armor sighed, "We failed. We were so close to succeeding."
Then, he looked toward the Mist and said, "Fellow Daoist, may I have your name?"
Since they weren’t fighting anymore, Jiang Zuo couldn’t be bothered with them.
The Mist was dissipating, so he had to leave as well.
He took out the Spirit Stone from his chest. Although his injuries had been suppressed, they were not yet healed. Moreover, he had just cut himself again to remove it.
Afterward, the Golden Giant disappeared. Jiang Zuo merged into the Array and reappeared elsewhere.
He naturally reappeared where Chi Xue Child and the others were.
He had to come buy some medicine.
But as soon as he arrived, Jiang Zuo froze for a moment.
They were all lying on the ground, clutching their eyes.
’Did they all go blind?’
Chu Qing cried out, "Sister Xiao, my eyes hurt so much! Am I going to be blind? I still have to forge iron!"
"I think... even if I don’t go blind, I’m going to be strangled to death by you. Let... let go," Xiao Xiaomo said with difficulty.
She was currently being held in a death grip by Chu Qing.
Mo Yan was kicking his legs nonstop. "Let go, let go! Who’s grabbing my leg? It’s a ghost!
Liuyue Xue, save me! Chi Xue Child, save me!"
Looking at Chu Qing, who had been kicked until he was a bloody mess, Jiang Zuo didn’t know what to say.
Finally, he spoke up, "Stop kicking. You’re going to kick Chu Qing to death."
The moment Jiang Zuo spoke, they all sat up instantly, on guard against him.
Jiang Zuo was still injured and couldn’t be bothered to waste words on them.
"Extend your senses. There’s nothing restricting them now. And your eyes won’t go blind. Try to properly experience and digest the source of the pain. Those are all traces of the Dao, and they will be helpful to you.
Remember to use the undigested Eight Trigrams Colored Fish to comprehend it, or you won’t be able to," Jiang Zuo said casually.
He knew what was happening to them.
Mo Yan said in surprise, "Boss Po Xiao? Weren’t you in a fight? What are you doing here?"
Liu Yiyi said, "Don’t speak carelessly. Maybe it’s not Fellow Daoist Po Xiao."
Jiang Zuo didn’t pay it any mind and just said, "The fight’s over. By the way, I need some medicine."
Liuyue Xue raised her hand but didn’t speak. She felt that Po Xiao should be able to understand what she meant.
Jiang Zuo: "..."
He didn’t understand at all. He then said, "Leave the list of medicine on the table. I’m also putting a Seventh-Grade Spirit Stone on the table. Just deliver it to my door when it’s ready.
Don’t look for me for the next few days."
After saying that, Jiang Zuo left.
He was injured now and needed to go back and treat it simply.
It would take quite a bit of effort again.
As for the Seventh-Grade Spirit Stone, it was downgraded from an Eighth-Grade one.
He still had one Eighth-Grade, two Sixth-Grade, and some other odds and ends.
In short, he was still quite wealthy. It would be enough for him for a while.
After Jiang Zuo left, Mo Yan said, "Boss Po Xiao is injured?"
Liu Yiyi said, "It’s highly likely."
Chi Xue Child: "Where’s my popsicle?"
Mo Yan said, "You dropped it, so don’t eat it. By the way, do you guys ever feel like Boss Po Xiao’s luck is ridiculously good?
We almost never see him get hurt. Let’s not even talk about last time. This time, we all went blind instead."
Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Doesn’t the time in the snowfield count?"
Liuyue Xue wanted to type, but with a group of blind people...
’Communicating is such a hassle.’
She wanted to say that it didn’t really count.
Mo Yan said, "That was just a flesh wound, it doesn’t count. Last time, it was an Elixir Pill worth an Eighth-Grade Spirit Stone. This time he left a Seventh-Grade Spirit Stone. This means he’s seriously injured too.
I wonder if I’ll ever get the chance to see Boss Po Xiao in a sorry state in this lifetime."
Everyone: "..."
’This guy seems pretty disappointed, huh?’
Actually, Liuyue Xue was also quite disappointed. Back then, they had always hoped to see Po Xiao get taken down a peg.
So they could go and ’like’ it. Although they still wanted to, once he left the Holy Land, would there even be a chance for him to be in a sorry state? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
It seemed pretty difficult.
"Sigh!" Liuyue Xue and Mo Yan sighed at the same time.
’We can’t get revenge for what happened back then.’
Everyone: "..."
Finally, Xiao Xiaomo said, "Can we rescue Chu Qing first?"
"..."
’We forgot, we forgot.’
******
Jiang Zuo returned home. His injuries weren’t extremely severe. As long as he stabilized them, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Problems would only arise if they went untreated for a long time.
As soon as he got back, Jiang Zuo took out the Yin Yang Fish and the others.
He tossed the two fish and Sweet Potato into the pond, and threw Duan Qiao by the pond’s edge.
He was originally going to treat his wound, but after looking at the Yin Yang Fish for a moment, he realized this wouldn’t work.
Although the Yin Yang Fish looked ordinary, they were very cute and quite recognizable.
Especially since Su Qi had seen them for so long. What if she recognized them?
’This would be serious, wouldn’t it?’
Then, Jiang Zuo said to the Yin Yang Fish, "Do you have a way to give yourselves cosmetic surgery? Your appearance as Yin Yang Fish isn’t suitable for staying at my house."
Shi Qi and Shiba glanced at each other, then shook their heads. They didn’t know how.
Jiang Zuo took out a sword, but after looking at it, he found it wasn’t suitable. Then he went to the kitchen and got a small knife.
He then brandished it at the Yin Yang Fish and said, "Hmm, I can give it a try."
Shi Qi & Shiba: "...?"
’What is this person going to do?’
Duan Qiao also had a look of horror. It was so glad it could undergo Transformation, otherwise...
Shi Qi and Shiba backed away. This would kill them.
Jiang Zuo said, "Don’t worry, I’ll just change a few spots. The life force of Yin Yang Fish is special; you won’t die that easily. Besides, I can guarantee your safety. I have some experience with dissection."
’Experience doesn’t matter! What if we die? We barely managed to survive, we don’t want to take this kind of risk at all.’
However, when had Jiang Zuo ever cared about the thoughts of others? He set up an Array and immediately started cutting.
Duan Qiao watched from the side, trembling in fear. Although the whole process was very steady, it looked extremely brutal. One slip-up and a fish’s life would really be on the line.
Even Sweet Potato lost its appetite for apples.
A sudden thought occurred to it. ’Things have been pretty good since I was born. As expected, I’m the biological one.’
A long time later, Jiang Zuo put away the knife. It was done.
He had turned the two ordinary fish into something out of a 2D animation, perfectly matching his aesthetic for things he picked up.
