My Wife Might Be a Saintess-Chapter 37 - 36: Saving People

"A passage to the inner layer? What kind of inheritance is in the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion?" Su Qi was very curious.

Jingyue shook her head. "I don’t know about that. Anyway, they said it’s some incredible inheritance. I guess they don’t really know either, or they would have lectured me about it by now."

Su Qi didn’t press further, just asking curiously, "Then how are we getting over there? Everyone else is flying."

Jingyue tossed her hair. "We’ll fight our way over, of course."

Su Qi was speechless.

She chose to ignore her senior sister. After hesitating for a moment, she still took out her phone and sent a message.

"Oh, telling him again? Last time, he hung up the moment you answered. He’s clearly toying with you."

"And whose fault was that? You snatched my phone and wouldn’t let me call him back."

"Let’s go, you little nag."

"You’re the little nag."

"I, your big sister, am a Saintess. And a Saintess is a noble bachelorette."

"..."

******

On the outskirts of the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion, Jiang Zuo stared at his phone with a helpless expression.

Su Qi had sent him a message, saying she was out on a trip with her sister and wasn’t sure when she’d be back.

Reading this, Jiang Zuo knew that the two of them were coming here as well. ’Do these people just love to crowd together?’

Jiang Zuo sighed. ’Looks like I’ll have to be more careful. I should find that fox first. If things get too complicated, I’ll just leave early.’

Getting in hadn’t been easy for Jiang Zuo, but he had many ways to get out.

After he had received the inheritance back then, he had a solid grasp on how to exit.

After that, Jiang Zuo began to search for the Three-tailed Fox with all his effort. He didn’t need to hide anymore; after all, no one knew he hadn’t come in on a commission.

Jiang Zuo moved continuously in a certain direction until he arrived at a small hill.

At that moment, he saw a fox. It was sitting under a fruit tree, gnawing on a fruit.

Jiang Zuo looked at it, and as if sensing something, it looked up at him.

It froze for a second, then dropped its fruit in fright and tried to run.

Jiang Zuo didn’t understand why the fox was running at all. He immediately took out the Shield and threw it.

BANG!!!

The fox was slammed directly into the ground by Jiang Zuo.

The fox’s speed was quite good. If not for Jiang Zuo’s special throwing technique, he really would have missed.

Walking over, Jiang Zuo picked up the Shield. Seeing the fox was half-dead, he said flatly, "I told your master: I’ll bring you back alive, or I’ll bring back your corpse. If you dare to run again, I’ll kill you and take your body back."

The Three-tailed Fox shivered. ’How could my master do this? How could they send such a terrifying person to find me? Do they not love me anymore?’

"Follow me. It’s best you don’t test me."

After warning the fox, Jiang Zuo walked over to the tree. This was definitely not an ordinary fruit tree.

The fruits on the tree weren’t large, but they were very smooth. Jiang Zuo picked one and took a bite without hesitation.

’Spirit Tempering Fruit. This is truly good stuff. A pity that with my current Cultivation, I can only eat two. And it’s not like I can pick them to go.’

The Spirit Tempering Fruit, as its name implied, was used to temper one’s Spiritual Qi.

The limit was two for Tier One, four for Tier Two, and six for Tier Three. It was unsuitable for Tier Four.

Once a Spirit Tempering Fruit was picked, it would begin to wither. If not eaten immediately, it would just go to waste.

Jiang Zuo ate two fruits and then began to meditate. The tempering process was unavoidable.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long.

When Jiang Zuo opened his eyes, he found that the fox hadn’t run away.

Jiang Zuo looked at the fruit tree, but in the end, he turned and left. It was just a mere Spirit Tempering Fruit Tree; not worth the great effort to move it.

After all, the process was too cumbersome and time-consuming.

As soon as Jiang Zuo left, the Three-tailed Fox naturally followed. ’I really want to run away,’ it thought, ’but this person finds me so fast. What if he really kills me the next time he catches me?’

’So it’s safer to just stay put.’

Just then, Jiang Zuo was planning to search for the Five Elements Energy, but his phone wouldn’t stop going off.

This exasperated him.

He knew without even thinking that it was the people in the group chat causing a ruckus.

He took it out and looked. It really was them.

Xiao Xiaomo: "@everyone My god, why are there so many powerful animals here? They look so cute, too."

She had also attached two photos. One was of a bloody, mangled animal, and the other was of a group of cute hedgehogs surrounding them.

Blade Master Hai Bian: "You all went in? You guys are too weak, couldn’t you have latched onto a powerhouse?"

Chen Yi sent a helpless emoji: "We originally came in with a powerhouse, but we just got separated."

Liu Yu: "Shouldn’t you be calling for help right now? What are you all chit-chatting about?"

Then there was a flood of messages, probably from people trying to find Xiao Xiaomo’s group.

Until the latest messages:

Chi Xue Child: "The location tracking is inaccurate, and this place is huge. Where exactly are you?"

Xiao Xiaomo: "By a lake, by a lake."

Liuyue Xue: "I’ve already seen three lakes. Which one are you at?"

Fairy Mo Yan: "I told you to stick with us. Regretting it now, are you?"

On her first day in the group, Mo Yan had visited most of the members. In the chat, she acted like she was close with everyone.

Chen Yi: "Fairy Mo Yan, we’re about to die. Can you not say things like that?"

Fairy Mo Yan: "It’s not like you’ll be safe just because I don’t say it."

"..." Chen Yi felt his heart sink, but he had no way to retort.

Jiang Zuo sighed as well. Finally, he sent a message to the group: "Stay put. Give me two minutes. I’ll be right there."

Chi Xue Child was shocked: "Fellow Daoist, you came in? Weren’t you busy?"

Po Xiao: "I came in chasing the Three-tailed Fox."

Xiao Xiaomo: "Boss, thank you for saving our lives."

Jiang Zuo felt rather helpless. ’Actually, these people are quite interesting. It would be a shame if they died just like this.’

Besides, it was just a small effort. Saving them wouldn’t be a hassle for him.

Jiang Zuo said to the Three-tailed Fox, "Keep up."

Then, Jiang Zuo moved quickly in the direction of Xiao Xiaomo’s group of three.

They had provided clear information: they were in here, and by a lake. That made finding them very easy.

Jiang Zuo didn’t pause for a moment along the way, moving as if he had known the route from the start. Within two minutes, Jiang Zuo finally saw Xiao Xiaomo and the others.

They were trapped in the middle of the lake. If not for the fact that the hedgehogs couldn’t swim, they would have already charged over and killed them.

But the hedgehogs were still frantically shooting their quills as if their lives depended on it.

’They really are reckless. A hedgehog without its quills... can it still be called a hedgehog?’

’Just how deep is their hatred?’

The trio of Xiao Xiaomo, who had been struggling to hold on, finally saw Jiang Zuo.

Chen Yi couldn’t help but exclaim, "He’s really amazing. When he looks for something, he finds it, guaranteed."

Xiao Xiaomo also said, "If we follow him, do you think we could make a fortune? We don’t need the lion’s share, just a tiny bit of profit would be fine."

"Forget about tiny profits. You’ll be lucky if he doesn’t charge you a rescue fee later."

At this point, Liu Yu said, "But, have you guys considered one problem? Boss Po Xiao is only a 1.1. He was fast at finding us, but how is he going to save us?"

Uh...

Only then did Chen Yi and the others remember this problem. Because Jiang Zuo was so heaven-defying in certain aspects, they had subconsciously overlooked the issue of his Cultivation.

Jiang Zuo was indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful, his Cultivation was still only 1.1.

Even if they heard he had defeated a 1.5, with so many hedgehogs, wouldn’t even a Tier Two cultivator have a headache dealing with them?

’We’re doomed, we’re doomed. This is just one more person coming to die.’

Chen Yi immediately shouted, "Fellow Daoist, these hedgehogs are really strong, don’t—"
