My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 372: Chapter 371: The Balcony Overlord

Su Qi waited until Jiang Zuo’s plane took off before turning to head back to the Holy Land.

Jiang Zuo could just barely see her from the plane.

He kept watching Su Qi until he couldn’t see her at all anymore.

"Suddenly, I’m a little reluctant to leave." Jiang Zuo shook his head helplessly.

’Truthfully, I’m scared of Su Qi, but I still want to be with her. And even though we part only so we can meet again, the feeling of saying goodbye is never pleasant.’

Jiang Zuo didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he disabled the various blocks on his phone.

He then saw a ton of messages in the group chat. He wasn’t in the habit of scrolling up through the chat history, so he just directly @’d Chi Xue Child.

Po Xiao: "@Chi Xue Child, are you guys still on East Water Island?"

Blade Master Hai Bian was the first to reply: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao? You’re alright?"

Po Xiao: "Should something have happened to me?"

Blade Master Hai Bian: "[Awkward Emoji] No, it’s just that we never saw you on the island, Fellow Daoist. Does that mean you’ve already left?"

Xiao Xiaomo: "[Grateful Emoji] Boss Po Xiao, Chu Qing is all better now. Her constitution wasn’t harmed. Chu Qing’s Parents said they want to reward you generously. You can name any price."

Po Xiao: "Not necessary."

Jiang Zuo truly didn’t need it. Whether or not he helped someone depended entirely on whether he felt like it.

Once he helped, he didn’t require any thanks afterward.

In other words, it didn’t matter to him whether they were grateful or repaid his kindness with malice. He simply didn’t care.

He never did things with the expectation of being repaid.

Liu Yiyi: "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, you sank East Water Island. Did you know about that?"

Po Xiao: "I didn’t."

Everyone: "..."

Jiang Zuo genuinely hadn’t known at first. Who could have predicted it would end up like that?

He wasn’t some devil or a madman.

Chi Xue Child: "Don’t worry about it, Fellow Daoist. East Water Island seems to be grateful to you.

And Liu Yiyi said her teacher is preparing a grand gift."

Liu Yiyi: "That’s right. My teacher said that although it was for some inexplicable reason, their connection with the Elements has deepened this time.

The gift is currently being prepared and will take some time."

Chen Yi: "[Regretful Emoji] It’s a shame I didn’t get to witness the sinking of East Water Island."

Just then, Liuyue Xue sent a message: "@Demon Cultivator Mo Yan, come on out."

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "What’s up? Don’t ping me if it’s nothing important. I’m busy. Hey, let me tell you all, I’ve discovered a fantastic place.

I never thought East Water Island had such a great spot. The Feng Shui here is especially amazing, it’s really perfect.

I think Boss Po Xiao would definitely love to have his eternal rest here."

Liuyue Xue: "[Poker Face Emoji] Scroll up."

The chat interface went quiet for a moment.

Then, Mo Yan started typing again.

Demon Cultivator Mo Yan: "I’m telling you all, this place is absolutely perfect for Cultivation. The Spiritual Qi is super abundant, the Feng Shui is fantastic, and I’ve tried it out—watching the sunrise from here is magnificent.

If Boss Po Xiao brought his beloved here, it would be incredibly romantic. They would love it.

But I feel like there’s an even better place. I’ll go look for it now."

Then Demon Cultivator Mo Yan @’d Po Xiao: "@Po Xiao, Boss Po Xiao, are you free now?

It’s all thanks to you that we’re okay this time. I’m planning to talk to Yiyi Fairy’s teacher about saving a good spot for you here, so you’ll have a place to stay next time you come.

If they won’t, that’s fine too. I have money, I’ll buy a place for you."

Po Xiao: "For my eternal rest?"

Fairy Mo Yan: "I wasn’t thinking straight just now, my wording was off! I meant a place the Boss would love so much he’d never want to leave, a place to live in forever.

I won’t say more. I’m off to find a place for the Boss now."

Liuyue Xue: "..."

Chi Xue Child: "..."

They all felt that Mo Yan had it rough, getting caught so perfectly every single time.

「Meanwhile, at Jiang Zuo’s House.」

Duan Qiao was on the balcony, watching Sweet Potato and the others. For its own safety, it absolutely could not let these rascals inside to cause trouble.

It had already beaten up Sweet Potato several times over this very issue.

Its position as the Overlord of the Balcony was now firmly established.

With nothing better to do, Duan Qiao could only go fishing. If it acted as a bridge, Sweet Potato, Shi Qi, and Shiba could easily escape.

It had to keep an eye on them.

But now that it was the overlord, a single glance was enough to make Sweet Potato, Shi Qi, and Shiba shrink back.

It suddenly felt so proud and pleased with itself.

But in the next moment, Duan Qiao was overcome with despair.

’So how did I, the great and mighty Duan Qiao, end up like this?’

Just then, the small fishing rod in its hand suddenly twitched. At first, Duan Qiao didn’t pay it much mind. It had fished up plenty of things before, so this was nothing to make a fuss about.

But before it could reel in the line, the rod suddenly began to thrash wildly.

Duan Qiao was fishing in a small pond, and what it was fishing for were, of course, interdimensional fish.

Its Skills had been getting more and more stable recently. That was the only piece of good news lately.

The rod was bending violently, so Duan Qiao naturally had to pull. But it was so small and had limited strength.

"Xiaohong, quick, come and help me! Shi Qi and Shiba, hurry!"

Sweet Potato was in the middle of munching on an apple. Hearing Duan Qiao’s shouts, it glanced over in confusion. It didn’t understand.

Duan Qiao said angrily, "Pull! Pull the fishing rod!"

Sweet Potato thought for a moment, and then, as if it understood something, it hopped down from the edge of the pond and prepared to run into the room.

Duan Qiao: "???"

’What in the world did Sweet Potato misunderstand?’

But Duan Qiao had no time to worry about that. Fortunately, Shi Qi and Shiba jumped up to help it.

Duan Qiao was startled. "A li-living thing?"

’This will be hard to handle if it’s alive. It’ll be fine if it’s something good, but if it’s something bad, my own life might be in danger.’

But it was already on the hook. Giving up now was impossible, so Duan Qiao struggled to pull it in.

The thing on the other end was surprisingly strong, still holding on after all this time.

After all, Duan Qiao’s fishing line had a sealing effect.

Although this wasn’t the line from its true form, it was still somewhat effective.

Few Low Tier things could break free from it.

Some couldn’t even struggle at all.

"J-just you wait ’til I pull you up! I’ll... I’ll give you a good beating first!" Duan Qiao said angrily.

The thing on the other end was incredibly strong; Duan Qiao was about to lose its grip.

This was the hardest thing it had ever hooked.

"Pull me with all your strength!" Duan Qiao said to Shi Qi and Shiba.

Shi Qi and Shiba were very cooperative. They quickly managed to pull back a good distance, but their opponent was no weakling and soon regained the lost ground.

They remained at a stalemate for a long time.

Just then, Duan Qiao heard the TV turn on. It knew Sweet Potato had turned it on.

Breaking the Vase was probably next on the agenda.

’So it thought I was giving it permission to go inside and smash things?’

To save its own skin, Duan Qiao decided to give up. It had to go give Sweet Potato a thorough beating.

But when it dropped the fishing rod, it discovered the rod didn’t move from its spot.

Duan Qiao: "????"

’Did the other side give up, too?’

Duan Qiao quickly realized what was happening, snatched the rod back up, and continued to pull.

Sure enough, this time it budged.

Soon, something began to emerge from the water. When it was pulled out completely, Duan Qiao saw that it was a round, white egg.

Without a second thought, Duan Qiao hauled it ashore and began to beat it relentlessly. "Smash it! Smash it to pieces!"

’Wasting my time and almost getting me killed!’

After beating it for a while, it realized the egg showed no reaction at all.

Duan Qiao then jumped down, grabbed its little fishing rod, and charged into the room.

As it entered, it was horrified to see that Sweet Potato was just about to leap toward the Vase.

Without a moment’s hesitation, it threw its little fishing rod.

THWACK! Sweet Potato was knocked down. What followed was a merciless thrashing.
