My Wife Might Be a Saintess-Chapter 41 - 40: God-like Operation

Jiang Zuo hesitated for a moment, then typed a message into the group chat.

Po Xiao: "If I kill this streamer, will another one just pop up?"

A chill went down everyone’s spine. As expected, anyone streaming from a place like this was risking their life.

Liu Yiyi: "Fellow Daoist, didn’t you just tip him? And you even called him a good person and wished him a safe life."

Po Xiao: "Good people don’t live long."

Liu Yiyi: "..."

Liuyue Xue: "..."

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "..."

Alright, they got the message. Jiang Zuo was not happy with this livestream, and he was thinking about showing up to give it a try himself.

Chi Xue Child: "Fellow Daoist wants to give it a try? This is seriously dangerous. But the problem you mentioned is actually simple. There will always be people who like to court death, so the streams will never stop unless you carry out a large-scale massacre."

Jiang Zuo wouldn’t mind killing one or two, but any more than that would be inappropriate.

Jiang Zuo sighed. ’Looks like killing them really isn’t a viable option.’

Jiang Zuo glanced at the crowd again. Many were thinking of retreating, but it would probably take a while before they actually did.

But the vine was only growing stronger. Everyone thought it had become docile and would only lash out if they got too close.

But that was because it was busy absorbing the power from flesh and blood. Once it was done, it would become active again.

By then, it would only be stronger and even more difficult to deal with.

Right now, Jiang Zuo had a sliver of hope, but later on, it would be a different story.

He had to go in now.

Jiang Zuo took out a Fifth-Grade Spirit Stone and sighed, "Looks like I’ll have to try this. I hope it won’t be a total loss."

Then, Jiang Zuo began to carve Runes into the Spirit Stone. Each Rune that bored into the stone caused a slight tremor. By the time the Spirit Stone was filled with Runes, Jiang Zuo sat down, looking completely drained.

"I hope this works."

After Jiang Zuo had rested, he activated the Runes inside. The Runes instantly shattered the Spirit Stone, and a large number of Spirit Stone fragments scattered around him.

These Spirit Stone fragments radiated Spiritual Qi. The Spiritual Qi resonated with the Runes, creating what looked like a light veil around Jiang Zuo, obscuring him from view.

"Such a crude yet extravagant method of concealment."

Jiang Zuo didn’t have time to feel heartbroken over the waste. This was a primitive and crude concealment method that wouldn’t last for long.

Just as everyone was wondering if they should retreat, a faintly glowing figure plunged into the lake.

His entire body was covered in a faint light, or rather, a faint curtain of light, making it impossible to see the person within.

"Who’s this guy? He’s actually hiding himself. Does he think he can actually get something out of there?"

"At least his entrance was pretty unique. This might be interesting."

The moment Jiang Zuo appeared, all eyes were on him.

The livestream, naturally, was focused on him as well.

Perception No. 1 Group

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "This... couldn’t be Boss Po Xiao, could it?"

Blade Master Hai Bian: "Highly likely. It seems Fellow Daoist Po Xiao doesn’t like to show his face."

Chi Xue Child: "You guys think we just saved that streamer’s life?"

Yang Mu: "I think so. I’m still watching the stream."

Liuyue Xue: "Do you guys think Fellow Daoist Po Xiao has a high chance of success?"

Chi Xue Child sent a thinking emoji: "I think we should just watch the stream."

At this time, Jiang Zuo naturally had no time to check his phone. He had specifically tossed it into his Storage Ring beforehand; otherwise, any sound it made could have been trouble.

Jiang Zuo’s arrival didn’t startle the vine. He headed straight for the Sun Flame Stone, with no fancy moves.

"Is he trying to get himself killed?" Jiang Ran asked.

The man next to him holding the Compass shook his head. "At least, he isn’t using any fancy footwork."

Just as Jiang Zuo was about to touch the Sun Flame Stone, he suddenly veered to the left. The next instant, the spot where he had been was completely blocked off. He had dodged it by a hair’s breadth.

This dodge stunned everyone.

The timing was too perfect, the dodge too slick.

It was like he had god-like awareness.

The people present burst into an uproar.

"I didn’t just see that wrong, did I? How did he dodge that?"

"A coincidence? Just good luck, right?"

Jiang Ran’s expression froze. "What do you make of it?"

He was naturally asking the young man with the Compass. "I don’t know. But it definitely wasn’t some kind of Direction Array. It was his own reaction speed."

"You can’t even call that a reaction, can you?"

"Or maybe it’s an innate sense for danger? Many Demon Beasts and Spirit Beasts have that kind of sharp perception."

"I’m not sure yet. Let’s keep watching."

Perception No. 1 Group

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "As expected of the Boss, such slick moves."

Chi Xue Child sent a picture of someone eating a popsicle: "I’m starting to feel like there’s hope."

Liuyue Xue: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao... you really can’t judge him by normal standards."

Blade Master Hai Bian: "I’ve arrived at the scene. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Po Xiao will be able to get out of this in one piece."

Chi Xue Child: "Right. Once Fellow Daoist Po Xiao succeeds, he’ll easily become a target. We’re heading over to hold down the fort. I’ll drag my Eldest Senior Brother along, too."

Liu Yiyi: "We’re too far away, but if he needs help, we have people over there who should be able to assist."

After dodging the vine’s strike, Jiang Zuo didn’t pause for a moment and reached for the Sun Flame Stone once again.

However, just when Jiang Zuo was only a centimeter away from the Sun Flame Stone, he was forced to retreat. The next instant, countless tentacles stabbed at his position. If he had been a step slower, he would have been instantly turned into a human sieve.

With Jiang Zuo having successfully dodged twice, the vine grew angry. It mobilized all its tentacles to launch a fatal attack against him.

Countless tentacles attacked Jiang Zuo, yet he showed no signs of panic, nor did he retreat from the lake.

He dodged the vines in an extremely bizarre manner.

What shocked everyone was that Jiang Zuo wasn’t just dodging the tentacles; it was as if he could predict their moves, avoiding their attacks a step ahead of time.

The tentacles thrashed about wildly, but Jiang Zuo calmly evaded every attack. He weaved through the mass of tentacles, and after a short while, he stopped moving. At that moment, the tentacles shot directly toward him.

This time, Jiang Zuo didn’t dodge, and the tentacles also failed to touch him.

Because the tentacles had all tied themselves into a knot.

The tentacles had completely lost their threat.

Everyone was stunned.

’Who... who is this person?’

Without hesitation, Jiang Zuo went straight for the Sun Flame Stone.

At this moment, everyone on the shore came to their senses. With no tentacles, there was no danger. And if there was no danger, didn’t that mean they could snatch the treasure?

By the time they rushed in, Jiang Zuo had already grabbed the Sun Flame Stone and fled the large lake.

He didn’t want the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit. He couldn’t afford to take it right now, anyway. Whoever wanted it could have it.

For some unknown reason, when he had thought about taking the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit just now, he had felt a sense of heart-pounding dread.

It wasn’t something he divined, but a true premonition—the kind of dread that carried over from his past life.

The Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit, it seemed, was very dangerous.

Or rather, picking it was very dangerous.

Meanwhile, no one was chasing Jiang Zuo. He found a safe place, took out his phone, and without paying any attention to their chat, he sent a single message: "Don’t go near the lake. There might be a problem with the Ten Thousand Flowers Fruit."
