My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 363: Chapter 362: Watching a Movie and Making a Move

Late at night, Su Qi meditated on a block of ice while Jiang Zuo kept watch, scanning their surroundings. In the deep sea, who knew what might be lurking?

It wouldn’t do for anything to disturb Su Qi’s meditation.

Jiang Zuo sat there quietly, doing nothing, not even moving.

It was as if he could sit like that forever, no matter how many years passed.

Indeed, the Jiang Zuo of his previous life had sat just like this.

He had sat for several thousand years, seemingly contemplating something at the time.

Meanwhile, Jiu Xi had been not far from him, staring blankly at him for those thousands of years, which was why he found her so repulsive.

’Staring at me like that even when I’m just spacing out—if that isn’t repulsive, what is?’

At first, when he began to ponder, Jiang Zuo would have attacked and killed her for staring like that. Later, he discovered that as long as he didn’t try to kill her, Jiu Xi wouldn’t do anything else.

In the end, he just forced himself to hold back.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to think at all.

’So how could she not be repulsive?’

Luckily, he didn’t need to use the restroom back then. If she had stared at him while he was on the toilet, Jiang Zuo would have gone insane.

And just as Jiang Zuo was spacing out, he suddenly sensed something.

He then looked up ahead and casually used the Water Element to make his block of ice continuously move backward.

A thick fog had suddenly appeared on the sea’s surface, and they had nearly blundered right into it.

Although he didn’t know what was in the fog, Jiang Zuo could tell with a single glance that it was not a place to be entered recklessly—at least not by him at his current level of Cultivation.

Only after Jiang Zuo had retreated a sufficient distance did he stop and stand up.

The fog had appeared very abruptly, without any warning. It wasn’t an ordinary fog; a special passage had likely opened.

Jiang Zuo watched the great fog with considerable interest. He had a feeling something was about to come out of it.

It was just hard to say what.

At that moment, Su Qi also woke up. She looked at the fog curiously and said, "This isn’t an ordinary fog. Could it be Ghost Pirates?"

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi with curiosity. "Why would you think that? Don’t you think a monster might crawl out?"

Su Qi shook her head. "I don’t sense any life force."

Jiang Zuo didn’t know whether to call Su Qi a genius or an idiot. Her progress in Cultivation was clearly so steady, so absurdly fast.

And yet, she couldn’t perceive that this fog was just a cover, that what lay within couldn’t be detected by ordinary senses.

Then Jiang Zuo remembered again: he was different. Even if Su Qi was a bit special, she was still not in the same league as him.

Su Qi was wrong to say there was no life force inside. There were normal fluctuations of power within, the kind that should belong to living creatures.

And they were right below the water.

That was why Jiang Zuo had said a monster might crawl out.

It was just that he didn’t sense any danger. He even took out his coin and tried a toss, but it still indicated no problems.

Just then, a massive shadow appeared in the fog.

And it was slowly emerging from it.

Su Qi immediately flew up into the sky with Jiang Zuo. This thing was definitely not good news; it was safer up in the air.

But when Su Qi flew into the sky, she realized that the fog wasn’t just a large patch in front of them—it surrounded them on all sides.

Su Qi said in surprise, "Are we still in the same part of the sea?"

The world is vast and full of wonders; they might have unknowingly entered a strange sea region.

Jiang Zuo, however, knew they were still in the same area. It was the fog that had suddenly burst forth.

Jiang Zuo didn’t answer Su Qi’s question. Instead, he asked, "What do you think that shadow is?"

Su Qi thought for a moment. "An iceberg?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "Isn’t that a bit too ordinary? You might as well guess it’s a giant, mobile turtle."

Su Qi retorted, unconvinced, "Did I say it was an ordinary iceberg? Have you ever heard of the Overseas Immortal Mountains?

Maybe it’s a frozen Immortal Mountain."

Jiang Zuo’s face darkened with exasperation. "Now you’re just being ridiculous."

Su Qi looked at the shadow and said, "But it doesn’t look like a turtle at all. You must be wrong."

If Jingyue were here right now, she would surely be looking at this couple like they were a pair of idiots. A shadow appearing in the fog on the open sea—the most likely possibility was, of course, a Ghost Ship.

’Actually,’ Jiang Zuo really wanted to say, ’an Immortal Mountain can’t be frozen in the first place.’

’He had seen Immortal Mountains before; they just weren’t as magical as the legends claimed.’

’There was one Immortal Mountain, however, that he was quite interested in.’

But before Jiang Zuo could argue his point, Su Qi tugged on him and said, "Look, it’s coming out."

Sure enough, the shadow was now right before their eyes.

But it seemed to have trouble leaving the fog. It lingered at the fog’s edge for a long time. Just as Su Qi was beginning to think it was merely an illusion, Jiang Zuo said, "It’s about to break through."

And just as he said, the fog suddenly burst apart, as if a giant wave had been breached.

A sharp point emerged—it was a piece of old, weathered wood.

Immediately after, the entire shadow forced its way out of the fog.

Once a small part of the shadow had emerged, both Jiang Zuo and Su Qi knew what it was. It was a huge wooden ship, an incredibly ancient one at that.

With a great SPLASH, the sound of something hitting the water echoed in their ears.

It was the sound of the ship entering the water.

At that moment, a massive ship burst completely out of the fog. It now sat quietly on the water’s surface.

And after the great ship emerged, the fog vanished in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

Su Qi could hardly believe her eyes. She hadn’t even blinked, yet the fog had vanished in that single moment.

It was as if it had been an illusion.

Jiang Zuo frowned as well, but he didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he focused his gaze on the wooden ship.

Su Qi also came back to her senses and looked at the great ship. Finally, she asked, "This isn’t a Ghost Ship, is it? If we go aboard, will we be swallowed up and pulled into some special dimension, never to escape?"

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi. "You’re a cultivator, and you’re afraid of ghosts?"

Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo and teased, "I wonder who it was that took me to see a horror movie, hoping to make a move on me, but ended up scaring himself silly."

’If this woman weren’t his wife, he would definitely kill her to silence her.’

’How could she say something like that out loud?’

’Thinking back on it now, it really was a bit embarrassing. He had gone with the express purpose of making a move on her. They had just started dating back then, so of course he needed an excuse for everything.’

’Otherwise, if he failed, wouldn’t he have cried his eyes out?’

’The only thing he regretted wasn’t that he failed to make a move on Su Qi, but that Su Qi had somehow watched the horror movie like it was a romance, a shy blush on her face the whole time.’

’That was also the day Jiang Zuo had gotten so close to Su Qi for the first time.’

’Or rather, the day Su Qi had leaned against him on her own accord.’

’So it did have the desired effect, but it was still a memory he couldn’t bear to look back on.’

’From that day on, Jiang Zuo couldn’t bring himself to watch horror movies. What kind of mind did it take to see the beauty of pure love in a horror film?’

At this, Jiang Zuo ignored Su Qi and said, "Let’s go up and have a look. And let’s not bring up the past.

Everyone does stupid things when they’re young.

Like that notebook of yours at the Holy Land..."

Instantly, Su Qi shrieked, "You dare say another word..."
