Su Qi hmphed, then started to unpack the box.

"My senior sister said it’s quite valuable and told us to keep it safe. We’ll really have to pay for it if it gets lost," said Su Qi.

Jiang Zuo asked curiously, "Is it a Magical Treasure or something?"

Su Qi shook her head; she didn’t know.

The box was soon opened. Inside was a smaller box, along with a note.

The note read: Peerless Magical Treasure, shines with a dazzling light. Please wear sunglasses.

Jiang Zuo and Su Qi: "..."

Then Su Qi and Jiang Zuo exchanged a look, a hint of doubt in both their eyes.

Su Qi asked, "Should we put on sunglasses?"

Jiang Zuo said, "Do you have any sunglasses?"

Su Qi thought for a moment, then jumped up. "My senior sister has some in her room! I’ll go swipe a couple."

After that, Su Qi scurried upstairs.

Jiang Zuo, meanwhile, curiously examined the smaller box. It was different from the outer one. The outer box was very ordinary, but this one was much more refined.

It was also a wooden box, made of Spirit Wood, no less.

It was sealed extremely well and could even prevent Spiritual Qi from leaking out.

’The packaging looks quite expensive, but it’s hard to say what’s inside.’

As for the "dazzling light," Jiang Zuo didn’t buy it.

’Wouldn’t that just be advertising that there’s a treasure here? Unless Jingyue wanted to get someone else to do her dirty work and get rid of him and Su Qi this way.’

’But that’s impossible, even just thinking about it.’

’So it’s very likely Jingyue is just messing with them. In that case, should I just open it now?’

Before Jiang Zuo could make a move, Su Qi came back down with two pairs of sunglasses.

Su Qi took one pair and put them on Jiang Zuo. "Here, put these on."

Then she put the other pair on herself. Once they were ready, they gathered around the box, intending to see what was inside.

Su Qi began to open the box bit by bit. To Jiang Zuo’s surprise, a light really did shine out—and a very intense one at that.

Without sunglasses, it might have actually been blinding.

Jiang Zuo realized the sunglasses did indeed prevent the glare, and Su Qi naturally noticed this as well.

So she threw the box open.

The next moment, a flash of white filled their vision, and the entire world went out of focus.

Jiang Zuo instantly moved closer to Su Qi, while Su Qi immediately reached out and grabbed him.

"Ouch," Su Qi’s hand got bumped. "Why’d you suddenly move like that?"

Jiang Zuo replied, "If you hadn’t stuck your hand out randomly, it wouldn’t have happened."

Su Qi pressed against Jiang Zuo. "I’m blind."

"Me too," Jiang Zuo said. "We’ll probably have to wait a bit."

In truth, Jiang Zuo hadn’t expected them to actually go blind. And if they hadn’t worn sunglasses, it might have been even worse.

With Jiang Zuo’s current Cultivation, even with his Innate Two Qi, he wouldn’t have been able to resist that dao light.

The light was of an extremely high level. Fortunately, it had no harmful properties; otherwise, it would have been an easy way to ambush someone.

’It seems Sister Jingyue wasn’t lying. She was actually kind enough to give us a warning.’

’Based on my brief understanding of Jingyue, I really didn’t think she was this type of person.’

However, the moment he sensed the dao light, Jiang Zuo had a good idea of what this was.

’This might actually count as a real treasure.’

The intense light was real, but the "dazzling" part was an exaggeration. The light dissipated automatically and didn’t even illuminate the whole room.

After a long while, Jiang Zuo and Su Qi’s vision gradually returned. Su Qi took off Jiang Zuo’s sunglasses and asked, "Am I pretty?"

"I’m blind, can’t see a thing," Jiang Zuo said as he inspected the box.

He found another note in the box.

It read: Feel your big sister’s loving care yet?

Jiang Zuo: "..."

He found that he was completely at a loss for words when it came to this "sister."

She wasn’t exactly screwing them over, nor was she trying to get them killed, but her actions were just... bizarre.

Su Qi just took the note out without the slightest change in expression, seemingly used to her senior sister’s antics.

Then, Su Qi took out a hard, stiff mask.

"What’s this?" Su Qi asked curiously.

Jiang Zuo explained, "Light and Shadow. It’s a Xuanwu mask, crafted from the shed shell of a High-Tier Xuanwu. It can fake your aura and hide your identity. An ordinary Tier Seven Cultivator wouldn’t be able to see through it. It’s extremely precious."

"It also has powerful defensive capabilities. When activated, its Defense can resist a Tier Six attack for three minutes."

"A direct hit to the mask cannot break it unless the attacker has Tier Eight strength."

"It’s a top-tier Magical Treasure of the Holy Land."

As he spoke, Jiang Zuo tossed the instruction manual he had taken out to Su Qi. What he’d said was just the content of the manual.

Of course, he knew what the item was even without reading the manual; he just hadn’t known it was a top-tier Magical Treasure from the Holy Land.

’This mask is really ugly, though.’

Su Qi flipped through the manual and said, "My senior sister says it’s for you. She was afraid I’d worry about your identity being exposed, so she specially took out this ’stolen good’ she’s been hoarding for ages."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

’Am I cursed to be stuck with masks or something?’

He already had the Mist, and now here was Light and Shadow.

The Mist was one thing; its visual effects were excellent. But this Light and Shadow... its visual effect was especially bad.

The tortoiseshell pattern was still clearly visible.

’At least it has a passive Skill: staring at it for too long will blind the other person’s damn eyes.’

’Otherwise, I might get laughed to death.’

After a moment’s thought, he asked, "If I wear it, what about you? This thing must be great for saving your life, right?"

Su Qi shook her head. "This is mainly for you to hide your identity. There’s no danger on East Water Island. Otherwise, my senior sister wouldn’t feel at ease letting the two of us go."

"Is that so?"

Su Qi nodded quickly and had Jiang Zuo put on the mask. To her, this was definitely a good thing.

This way, her husband would be safe. He also wouldn’t be recognized, which would prevent any other trouble.

Su Qi was very happy to avoid bringing any trouble to Jiang Zuo.

"Then let’s go back and pack. Our flight is tomorrow morning," Su Qi said.

Just then, Jiang Zuo noticed the bracelet on Su Qi’s wrist. It was Jingyue’s Storage Treasure. It seemed that for this vacation, Jingyue had provided them with a lot of conveniences and had thought things through quite thoroughly.

She had eliminated potential problems for them on multiple fronts.

Then Jiang Zuo froze. "Do we have a map or a guide?"

He suddenly remembered that whether this was a real vacation or not, he couldn’t rely on Su Qi for this kind of thing.

If he relied on Su Qi, they’d very likely get lost once they arrived at East Water Island.

That would not be a good thing.

Su Qi didn’t have a bad sense of direction, but she was not suited to be a guide or give directions to anyone.

Su Qi shook her head, then leaned directly against Jiang Zuo. "Anyway, once we get there, I can only rely on you. I’m suddenly realizing how great it is to have a husband."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

’Oh, well.’ He was quite used to it. As for whether having a wife was a good thing, Jiang Zuo didn’t know, but having Su Qi was definitely a good thing.

After packing up the boxes, Jiang Zuo and Su Qi left the villa. They had never considered staying the night; for them, being at home was the most comfortable.

Then they headed straight home.

Jiang Zuo fiddled with his coin the entire way. By the time they got home, he hadn’t detected any sign of danger.

It seemed that the person Cultivating the real-world Dream Realm wasn’t targeting Su Qi.

But this gave Jiang Zuo no reason to celebrate. He needed to find a time to drag this person out and eliminate them.

’But I need to get stronger.’

’It would be best if I can reach Entering Dao as soon as possible.’
