My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 365: Chapter 364: Single Dog Constitution, Mark Upgrade

Faced with Qianning’s question, the man seemed somewhat helpless.

All he could do was say, "There’s a reason, but you wouldn’t understand."

"How am I supposed to understand if you don’t tell me? If you tell me, then I’ll understand, won’t I?" Qianning said.

The man shook his head. "No, you still wouldn’t understand even if I told you."

Qianning stopped and looked at the man. "How do you know that? How do you know I won’t understand if you tell me?

How can you be sure I won’t understand if you don’t tell me?

If you tell me, I might just understand, right?"

Jiang Zuo muttered instinctively, "That’s a bit convoluted."

Su Qi smiled. "I’d never say something so convoluted."

’You usually just resort to violence,’ Jiang Zuo thought, rolling his eyes internally.

At this, the man said, "Alright, I’ll tell you. But you won’t attack me, right?"

Qianning thought for a moment. "I’ll have to think about that. If you say anything bad about my brother, I’ll still have to hit you.

You can’t fight back. If you do, I’ll go back and tattle on you.

And I’ll have my brother suppress you."

The man gave a wry smile. "You’re really ruthless. So, I’ll say it?"

Qianning nodded in satisfaction. "Go ahead."

Just then, Qianning saw the man open his mouth. "VMMMM..."

All Qianning heard was a booming roar, and she clapped her hands over her ears in pain.

Su Qi did the same, covering her ears and looking to be in great pain.

Jiang Zuo froze for a second before mechanically raising his hands. He copied Su Qi, covering his ears and feigning extreme agony.

’It’s the Voice of the Great Dao. Others can’t withstand it or understand it, so they have no idea what’s being said.’

’But I’m different. I understand it perfectly.’

’That brother of hers, the one surnamed Qin, is pretty unlucky. To think no woman is worthy of him... to put it bluntly, he’s just destined to be single.’

’Why use the Dao Voice for something that could be explained in a single sentence? He almost exposed me.’

’And I have to fake being in pain. I’m terrible at acting.’

Just as Jiang Zuo was grappling with his predicament, the man finally fell silent.

Qianning and Su Qi both relaxed as well.

Qianning then looked up at the man, lifted her foot, and began to furiously stomp on his.

’So, that’s her only move?’

’And here I was hoping she’d give the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion a proper beatdown.’

After getting stomped on a few times, the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion started to dodge. "I told you! I told you that you wouldn’t understand even if I said it. You’re the one who insisted I speak, so you can’t blame me, can you?"

Qianning stopped and said huffily, "I’m going to go tell my brother that you deafened me."

With that, Qianning turned and walked off again.

The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion cried out anxiously, "You can’t say that! Eldest Young Master Qin will really suppress me!"

"You deserve it," Qianning retorted without turning back.

Su Qi had also recovered by then. She wiggled a finger in her ear and said, "I almost went deaf."

Then, Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo and said very seriously, "Jiang Zuo is an idiot."

Jiang Zuo’s expression darkened. "What did you just say?"

Su Qi then asked with concern, "I was just asking if your ears were alright."

"Then what was that about ’Jiang Zuo is an idiot’?"

Su Qi rubbed her ear and said guiltily, "I must have been hearing things. I thought I heard you say ’Su Qi is an idiot,’ too. This seems pretty serious."

"...Su Qi is an idiot."

Su Qi: "..."

In a secret chamber within the Holy Land, inside an unknown space, Jingyue lay on the ground, panting for breath.

’It’s finally over. That was killer. This damn trial... they didn’t pull any punches at all. Aren’t they worried they’ll actually kill the Saintess?’

The trial was indeed dangerous. If Jingyue hadn’t been so formidable herself, she might have come out missing an arm or a leg.

But the rewards were immense. In just a short time, she not only advanced to level 3.3 but also learned Sword Flight.

She had to go out and show off. This was something she could brag about for a long time.

Then, Jingyue sat up, her expression turning very serious.

’Wait a minute. In the past, whenever I had this thought, it meant my attempt to show off would fail.’

’So, based on years of experience, that little shrew has probably already reached level 3.1 and learned Sword Flight too.’

Jingyue thought for a moment. ’I need to be calm about this. I’ll go get some intel first. It would be bad if my bragging backfired.’

’Yeah, then I’ll live stream a bit of Sword Flight. My fan count will definitely skyrocket.’

So Jingyue thought.

Since her fan count had dropped to second place, she was determined to reclaim the top spot. It was just that she had been incredibly busy lately, with no time to stream.

But on second thought, Jingyue realized that wasn’t right. Her fan count had already returned to first place after her last Celestial Tribulation stream.

’Sure enough, live streaming during a Celestial Tribulation... it still feels too surreal. I can hardly believe it myself.’

’So, thinking about it again, no matter how I look at it, there’s no way Jiang Zuo, the one who led us through the Celestial Tribulation, is just an ordinary person.’

Regarding Jiang Zuo, the first thing Jingyue wanted to investigate was Po Xiao.

But her repeated attempts to find out what Po Xiao looked like had all ended in failure.

It was simply baffling.

Jingyue put it out of her mind.

This space was exceptionally strange; she had no idea how much time had passed in the outside world.

After getting up, Jingyue walked to a door on one side and placed her hand on it. This was the way out.

Just then, however, a line of text suddenly appeared on the door: *Please pay nine Ninth-Grade Spirit Stones.*

PFFT—

Jingyue just about died on the spot.

Nine Ninth-Grade Stones! As the Saintess, she was certainly wealthy, but no amount of wealth meant she had that many Ninth-Grade Spirit Stones. Wasn’t this just a death sentence, trapping her in here?

A long time later, another door appeared in the secret chamber. Jingyue emerged, looking quite pleased with herself.

She definitely didn’t have that many Spirit Stones, but this place was connected to the Holy Land Treasure Vault. The system had taken the payment directly from there.

’Although it’s telling me to pay it back as soon as possible, it wasn’t *me*, Jingyue, who took them. Why should *I* be the one to pay it back?’

The moment she stepped out, Jingyue felt the mark between her brows begin to flash. Having completed the trial, she knew this meant the mark was likely about to upgrade.

And now it seemed that was exactly what was happening.

She just wondered what new functions would be added.

’It would be great if it added a video chat feature.’

’Then I’d know right away who the male Candidacy Saintess is.’

’Speaking of which, as the Saintess, my permissions should be pretty high, right?’

’I have a vague sense of unease.’

Jingyue then began to focus on the mark, trying to perceive the direction of its upgrade.

But the moment she began to observe it, she felt her entire being get sucked into the mark.

Then, she was standing high in the sky.

Beneath her feet was a leaf, identical to those of the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit.

The leaf was connected to a branch, which extended downward, connecting to other leaves.

Jingyue glanced down and saw a total of six other leaves below her.

The very bottom leaf was gray.

’Is it gray because he’s not online, or is it the mark of the male Saintess?’ Jingyue wondered.

Then, Jingyue saw the leaf below hers flash once, and the name "Jiu Xi" appeared on it.

Below that one was Qing Lian.

After that, all the leaves flashed and revealed names, all except for the final leaf, which neither flashed nor showed a name.

Her sense of unease deepened. ’This guy doesn’t seem to be giving me, the administrator, any face.’

’I really want to kick him out.’

Once the leaves had lit up, light began to flow from the branches, connecting all the leaves.

At that moment, all the Candidacy Saintesses were stunned, and Jiang Zuo was no exception.
