My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 368: Chapter 367: Su Qi Is That Smart?

The cabin was no longer bright, so Jiang Zuo summoned a Fire Element to provide light.

Working for its big brother was the Fire Elemental Minion’s most exciting moment.

Jiang Zuo said, "Don’t get so sentimental. It was just a short clip. Who knows, maybe they fell for other people along the way. You don’t need to worry about them."

Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo and said, "I really want to hit you."

Although Jiang Zuo had just said it casually, he knew it wasn’t impossible. He didn’t know if the will within the Holy Land Array was actually Qianning. What if it wasn’t?

Then, Su Qi said, "So what should we do now? Uh, I’ll start by studying this mark."

She still hadn’t figured out what was going on with the mark’s sudden change.

Jiang Zuo, however, didn’t feel much of anything. The video had ended, just like that.

They hadn’t seen a single real thing from beginning to end.

While Su Qi was studying her mark, Jiang Zuo explored the vicinity.

Jiang Zuo walked toward the edge of the cabin, but before he got far, Su Qi called out, "Don’t wander off."

"Got it. I’m just taking a look." After replying to Su Qi, Jiang Zuo continued toward the edge of the cabin.

When he reached the edge, Jiang Zuo was quite surprised.

He had initially thought there would be a wooden wall, but that wasn’t the case.

In the pitch-black space, the edge of the cabin was empty; in other words, it was suspended in mid-air.

Below the edge was a pool of black water.

Jiang Zuo was astonished. He couldn’t believe there was such a dense deathly energy here.

That’s right. The black water below wasn’t pure water. It was deathly energy that had liquefied. A single touch could corrode flesh and blood, causing one’s life force to dissipate.

If the deathly energy were to diffuse into the air, he and Su Qi would be in danger.

However, with the light around, they probably wouldn’t die right away.

Jiang Zuo didn’t dwell on it. Since the deathly energy had undergone a qualitative change by liquefying, it was unlikely to easily vaporize and float up again.

So, as long as they didn’t go down, there was no danger.

However, Jiang Zuo glanced down and thought he saw something else.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Zuo had his Fire Elemental Minion send some light down below.

Soon, everything beneath the dead water became clear.

Jiang Zuo craned his neck to look, and he did see something, but because of the deathly energy, he couldn’t make out what it was exactly.

All he could see was a small island with two slopes on it.

’The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion must have created this place,’ Jiang Zuo realized.

The lake and the small island—the layout was identical to the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion.

’The Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion has some strange tastes, insisting on this specific layout.’

This time it was a Dead Water Lake, so whatever was inside was probably not simple. But the cabin deck was floating and spread out, with no footholds along the edge below.

Getting down might be easy, but getting back up would be difficult.

The slightest misstep, a single touch of the dead water, would leave him half-crippled.

’If Su Qi weren’t here, it wouldn’t be much of a problem given my experience. But since she is, I can’t use my Cultivation.’

’Relying on just my physical abilities and Magic would be very difficult.’

Jiang Zuo lay prone on the deck. It was easier to see this way, and he didn’t have to worry about falling.

He was thinking about how he could use Elemental Power to get back up.

’If the Water Element knew how to make ice, it would be much easier.’

’But they definitely don’t know how.’

Then, Jiang Zuo froze. ’The Water Element doesn’t know how, but I do!’

He then waved his hand, and a block of ice appeared in front of him. It fell into the dead water with a PLONK and was instantly swallowed up.

The Water Elemental Sister was in a truly miserable state.

Finally, Jiang Zuo shook his head. The amount of Water Element he had was too small to be of any use.

’So there’s still no way?’

’Should I knock Su Qi out?’

Just as Jiang Zuo was thinking this, he suddenly heard Su Qi’s voice from behind him. "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Zuo’s heart skipped a beat. ’I was just thinking about it! Does the timing have to be this perfect?’

Finally, Jiang Zuo sat up and said, "Nothing."

"Nothing? Then why are you lying here staring into space?" Su Qi didn’t believe him for a second.

Jiang Zuo had no choice but to say, "There’s something down there. I want to go take a look, but I won’t be able to get back up."

Su Qi’s curiosity was piqued. She stretched her neck out but found she couldn’t see anything. Then, she nudged Jiang Zuo. "Scoot over. Make some room."

Jiang Zuo was confused. "There’s so much space. Why do I need to move?"

"You were already lying there, so it must be clean."

"..."

Jiang Zuo didn’t say anything and eventually shifted over.

Only then did Su Qi lie down on the deck, pleased with herself.

Then she said, "If you hadn’t moved just now, I was planning to lie on top of you."

Jiang Zuo’s face darkened, but in the end, he said nothing. ’Sometimes, you just can’t engage with Su Qi. The more you indulge her, the more carried away she gets.’

Then, Jiang Zuo brightened the firelight below and said, "See it now?"

Su Qi nodded. "Two small slopes. Is there anything else?"

Jiang Zuo was taken aback. Now that Su Qi mentioned it, that seemed to be all there was.

But on second thought, Jiang Zuo felt that wasn’t right. ’How could this place just have ordinary slopes? There must be something special.’

"I don’t think it’s that simple down there. It might be related to the two people from the vision," Jiang Zuo said.

Su Qi thought about it and agreed. "Then let’s go down and have a look."

Seeing Su Qi about to jump down, Jiang Zuo immediately stopped her. "There’s something wrong with the water below. It’s very dangerous."

Su Qi smiled and said, "Relax. Your wife isn’t blind. I have at least that much discernment."

Jiang Zuo asked, "Then how do you plan to get down? Fly?"

"Of course. But I need to rest for a bit. I haven’t recovered much yet. It wouldn’t be good to go down if I’m not in perfect condition." With that, Su Qi sat up and began to meditate on the spot.

Jiang Zuo nodded and then asked, "Did you figure anything out just now?"

Su Qi shook her head. "Nothing. Besides both of us seeing some lists, some messages that popped up out of nowhere, and the video sharing at the beginning, there’s been nothing else.

Now, there’s only the list.

I thought we might be able to chat through it. That way, I could have asked my senior sister to send someone to pick us up."

Jiang Zuo didn’t say anything else. There was nothing special on his end either.

He also only had the list and names. Fortunately, the entry for his Ye Zi was still blank.

’But if the name is chosen automatically, what name would it use?’

’Po Xiao or Jiang Zuo?’

’But no matter which name it used, I’d be hounded immediately.’

’After all, a male Candidacy Saintess is bound to attract a lot of attention.’

’So it’s better to remain anonymous for now.’

Afterward, Su Qi began to meditate, while Jiang Zuo could only lie down and rest beside her.

A long time later, Su Qi opened her eyes and said, "Alright, we can go down now."

Jiang Zuo sat up. He had almost fallen asleep.

Then, Su Qi used her Flying Sword to carry Jiang Zuo above the small island. She took out a piece of fruit and threw it down.

The fruit landed in the middle of the island without any change. Then, Su Qi took out a pile of fruit and threw them to various spots on the island.

The fruits near the edges began to wither, proving only the center was safe.

And the two small slopes were right in the center.

At this point, Su Qi said, "We can go down now."

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi, stunned. He hadn’t expected her to be so clever.

But Jiang Zuo could see the deathly energy, so he had known from the start where it was dangerous and where it was safe.
