My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 373: Chapter 372: Po Xiao: Why Do You Think It’s Related to Me?

On a certain mountain peak, a middle-aged man walked into a secret chamber.

He had a smile on his face. "Today is the day of the egg’s birth. I can finally make it acknowledge me as its master. From now on, it will be my ultimate weapon."

His smile was filled with confidence. In his secret chamber, no accidents would happen.

Soon, he arrived at the very core of the secret chamber. There was an Array here, and in the middle of the Array was a pool.

But when the middle-aged man saw the pool, he froze for a moment. Then, he checked everywhere, inside and out.

Finally, he roared in anger, "Where’s my egg? Who stole my egg?"

*******

It was late at night when Jiang Zuo got off the plane, but since it was a city he was familiar with, he returned to his residence without any trouble.

Jiang Zuo stood at the door, wondering what kind of mess his home was in.

’This is a good opportunity,’ he thought. ’It’s time to roast them all.’

Then, Jiang Zuo opened the door.

He was indeed taken aback for a moment after walking in.

It wasn’t because the house was completely unchanged, but because the TV was singing and Duan Qiao was rhythmically beating up Sweet Potato.

When Duan Qiao heard the door open, it looked up. That one glance nearly scared it to death.

"I-I wasn’t, I wasn’t hitting Xiaohong on purpose! It, it..."

Duan Qiao was still trying to explain, but Sweet Potato looked at Jiang Zuo and cried out aggrievedly, "GAA."

Duan Qiao said anxiously, "Xiaohong, how could you just tattle on me like that?"

Duan Qiao looked at Jiang Zuo again. "It’s not like that! It’s..."

"Finish your fight and go to sleep. Don’t bother me," Jiang Zuo said, ignoring them.

He couldn’t be bothered with these balcony creatures fighting. ’It’s a shame I can’t just put them on the grill,’ he thought.

With Su Qi not at home, Jiang Zuo felt he could do whatever he wanted again.

For now, he decided to get some sleep.

But when he got to his room, he found that he wasn’t used to sleeping there without Su Qi.

So, Jiang Zuo went to the guest bedroom again. He was more used to sleeping in here.

「The next day.」

Jiang Zuo was woken up by his vibrating phone.

Someone in the group chat had @’d him.

He took out his phone to have a look.

It was Liu Yiyi: "@Po Xiao, Fellow Daoist, a senior from the Sword Cultivation Lineage had a Magical Treasure mysteriously disappear. It’s a very powerful Magical Treasure. It couldn’t be related to you, could it?"

Chen Yi: "What kind of Magical Treasure was it?"

Fairy Mo Yan: "I know. If I’m not mistaken, it’s a Magical Treasure that was born with its own consciousness.

They say that for it to acknowledge a master, one has to wait for its consciousness to awaken.

I was planning to steal it... I mean, borrow it for a look back then.

But I later discovered I couldn’t get close to it at all."

Chen Yi: "So, what exactly *is* the Magical Treasure?"

Jiang Zuo frowned as he read their messages and finally typed a reply.

Po Xiao: "Why would you think it has anything to do with me?"

Liu Yiyi: "I heard this Magical Treasure was kept in a secret chamber, and the chamber is protected by heavy Restrictions. Ordinary people can’t get in at all."

Fairy Mo Yan: "Also, whenever something this major happens, we subconsciously think of you, Boss."

Jiang Zuo frowned. ’Am I the kind of person who causes trouble everywhere?’

Jiang Zuo couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

After washing up, he went to the balcony to see if Sweet Potato had finished eating its apple.

But when he stepped out, he was surprised to find something new on the balcony.

A round, white egg. It was trembling in a corner.

Jiang Zuo froze. "Where did this come from?"

Duan Qiao said in terror, "I-I fished it up yesterday."

Jiang Zuo was speechless.

Jiang Zuo suddenly remembered what they were saying in the group chat. Someone had lost a Magical Treasure.

This Magical Treasure possessed a natural consciousness and had to awaken before it could acknowledge a master.

And the egg right in front of him just so happened to possess this exact characteristic.

The Sure-Hit Egg. It could activate an indestructible mode, after which it could hit any target it desired.

Few could withstand it. Those who didn’t understand the principle behind the Sure-Hit Egg found it nearly impossible to block.

’So, those people guessed correctly?’

’This matter really does have something to do with me?’

Finally, he went into the group chat, sent a photo of the egg, and asked, "Is this what was lost?"

On the plane, Mo Yan saw the picture and exclaimed, "See? I told you it had something to do with Boss Po Xiao! I’ve been to that secret chamber once; its defenses are incredible.

Other than Boss Po Xiao, I can’t think of anyone else who could slip in and take something so silently."

Blade Master Hai Bian said, "Keep your voice down. Even though this room has a Sound Insulation Array, you never know if someone with sharp hearing is nearby."

Mo Yan glanced around warily, then whispered, "Alright, pay up. A bet’s a bet."

Afterward, most of them sent a Spirit Stone.

Chi Xue Child asked, confused, "East Water Island is so far from the headquarters of the Sword Cultivation Lineage. How did Fellow Daoist Po Xiao manage it?"

Liu Yiyi said simply, "Why don’t we just ask Fellow Daoist Po Xiao?"

As they discussed it, not one of them had the slightest intention of informing the original owner.

Jiang Zuo then saw Liu Yiyi’s question and replied directly, "I have a fishing rod at home that got bored. It went fishing on its own and reeled this thing in."

The group chat fell silent.

The people on the plane were also stunned.

Chi Xue Child held out his hand to Mo Yan. "Give me back my Spirit Stone."

Mo Yan clutched her pockets. "Denied. That fishing rod has to be Duan Qiao. Duan Qiao is the Boss’s fishing rod, so this matter is still related to the Boss."

"I have a feeling Fellow Daoist Po Xiao just found out about this himself. It doesn’t count as his doing, so the bet is off," Blade Master Hai Bian added.

Liuyue Xue, however, had already started patting down Mo Yan.

"Hands off! Just because you’re pretty, you think you can grope me whenever you want? Touch me again and I’ll tell everyone you’re into women," Mo Yan threatened.

Liuyue Xue stopped, her expression dark. Then, she took out the Heaven-Breaking Spear.

Mo Yan: "...On second thought, you can just grope me."

"AAAAAAAAH!"

******

Back on the balcony, Jiang Zuo looked at the egg and said, "You can understand what I’m saying, can’t you?"

The egg hopped and replied, "Dandan."

The corner of Jiang Zuo’s mouth twitched. "I asked if you could understand me."

Sure-Hit Egg: "Dandan."

If not for the fear in its childish voice, Jiang Zuo would have thought it was provoking him.

At this moment, Duan Qiao explained, "Its name is Dandan. It just said that it understands."

Duan Qiao was exasperated. ’The egg’s response was so obvious; only an idiot wouldn’t get what it meant.’

Of course, Duan Qiao would never dare to say such a thing out loud.

It knew that this fiend before it was an absolute authority. To defy him was to defy its own survival; it would surely lead to death.

Jiang Zuo said to Dandan, "If you dare to break anything in this house, I’ll crack your shell and fry you."

Dandan: "Dandan?"

It had no idea what "fry" meant.

However, it did understand what "crack your shell" meant. But it wasn’t afraid; its shell was exceptionally hard.

It couldn’t be cracked by conventional means.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo took out the Battle Spirit Stele. He took aim at the Sure-Hit Egg and, using a peculiar technique, struck a peculiar spot on it.

Then, everyone heard a CRACK.

The Sure-Hit Egg cracked.

Dandan shrieked in terror from the corner.

Jiang Zuo looked at the Battle Spirit Stele, his expression emotionless. "Just as I thought. As long as something is harder than the Sure-Hit Egg, it can be used to crack it.

This thing really isn’t very useful."

However, the method for cracking it was very specific, and only Jiang Zuo knew how to do it.
