My Wife Might Be a Saintess-Chapter 54 - 53: Also Has to Be Used For...

The Red Duck stared blankly at Jiang Zuo. It tilted its head, not understanding what Jiang Zuo meant. Then it even gave two happy quacks, as if playing along with its master’s words.

The Red Duck was born with spiritual intelligence and could understand simple human speech. It would have to study to understand anything more profound.

Looking at the duck, Jiang Zuo suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you male or female?"

"QUACK?"

Well, Jiang Zuo didn’t understand duck-speak. As for checking personally, that was a bit too difficult.

For many Spirit Beasts, he could tell their gender with a single glance. In the past, he could even distinguish them by their aura.

He didn’t have that ability anymore, and as for using the primitive method, he didn’t know how to do that either.

With no other options, Jiang Zuo took a picture and sent it to the group chat. "Does anyone know how to tell a duck’s gender?"

Chi Xue Child was the first to pop up. "A duck? Since when did Fellow Daoist Po Xiao start raising ducks?"

Blade Master Hai Bian was shocked. "This duck..."

Fairy Mo Yan: "What about the duck? Does it look like one of yours?"

Blade Master Hai Bian: "No, it just looks a lot like the ugly duckling I raised as a kid. Mine was yellow back then, but sadly, it died young. Anyway, speaking of telling a duck’s gender, I’ve heard you’re supposed to look at how many holes it has on its butt."

Chi Xue Child: "I think one hole is female, and two is male."

Xiao Xiaomo: "Isn’t that wrong? One is male, and two is female."

Fairy Mo Yan: "What if there are none?"

Xiao Xiaomo: "That’s impossible."

Liu Yiyi posted an awkward emoji. "Is it just me, or is this topic a little sensitive?"

Fairy Mo Yan: "What’s there to be awkward about? We’re all adults here."

Liuyue Xue: "I’m not an adult."

"Who are you trying to fool? Your figure is even better than mine, and you still dare say you’re not an adult?" Mo Yan Immortal Mountain said with utter disdain.

Liuyue Xue: "But being an adult or not doesn’t have much to do with one’s figure. Besides, I’m about to become an adult soon anyway."

Fairy Mo Yan posted a wide-eyed emoji. "You’re kidding, right?"

Liu Yiyi: "It’s true."

"How is that possible? No matter how I look at it, she doesn’t seem like some underage brat. Did she report her age wrong?"

Jiang Zuo ignored the group’s shifting topic. Instead, he grabbed the Red Duck and began to flip it over to inspect its rear.

Then, Jiang Zuo nodded. "Hmm, there’s nothing."

"QUACK QUACK?" The duck had no idea what its master was thinking.

But being held like this was very uncomfortable.

The Red Duck struggled for a bit, but it couldn’t break free, so it eventually gave up.

Jiang Zuo, however, took a photo of the duck’s butt and sent it to the group. "I checked its whole body. There’s nothing."

Xiao Xiaomo was shocked. "Really nothing? How is that possible? Are there creatures in this world without buttholes?"

Chen Yi: "Is this the legendary ’child born without an asshole’?"

Fairy Mo Yan: "But if it doesn’t have one, how does it poop? Could it be disabled? Does it need medical treatment?"

Just then, Blade Master Hai Bian said, "I’ve heard from some fellow daoists that creatures without a butthole are likely High-grade Spirit Beasts."

Fairy Mo Yan posted an excited emoji. "So High-grade Spirit Beasts don’t need to poop? Even the most beautiful butt has to be used for pooping. Just look at Liuyue Xue."

Blade Master Hai Bian: "..."

Chi Xue Child: "..."

Liu Yiyi: "..."

Xiao Xiaomo: "..."

...

Chi Xue Child posted a ’mourning’ emoji. "Our group’s only Demon Cultivator is done for."

Jiang Zuo felt his face darken with exasperation. He finally @’d Blade Master Hai Bian. "Fellow Daoist, so did they say how to tell its gender?"

Blade Master Hai Bian: "I don’t know. But Fellow Daoist, why do you need to know its gender?"

Jiang Zuo replied instinctively, "If it’s female, I plan to let it breed. If it’s male, I’ll raise it and then braise it."

"..."

’A High-grade Spirit Beast, and he’s going to braise it?’

’Are High-grade Spirit Beasts just for eating? Don’t they have any pride?’

Just then, Fairy Mo Yan sent another message: "Boss Po Xiao, you can’t eat it! High-grade Spirit Beasts don’t have buttholes, so it must be full of poop. Just imagine that. You definitely wouldn’t want to eat it then."

Jiang Zuo’s expression turned very sour. He hadn’t thought about it, but now that she mentioned it, the idea was extremely unpleasant.

’Right. I should keep it for now. I’ll decide whether to eat it later.’

The Red Duck looked at Jiang Zuo in confusion, completely unaware that it had just strolled past the Ghost Gate several times.

Just then, another message appeared in the group, this time from Liuyue Xue. "Fellow Daoist Po Xiao, does this Spirit Beast have a name? If not, why don’t we give it one?"

Fairy Mo Yan: "How about ’Gender-Mystery’?"

Chi Xue Child was surprised. "Speaking of which, how did you recover so fast?"

Fairy Mo Yan said disdainfully, "Who do you think I am? I am Demon Cultivator Mo Yan, with a Nightmare Specialization. Everything you just saw was a Nightmare’s disguise. How could I possibly be ’done for’?"

In some respects, Mo Yan was indeed a genius.

Blade Master Hai Bian sent: "Speaking of names, how about Elizabeth?"

Fairy Mo Yan: "That’s no good. ’Gender-Mystery’ is still better."

Liuyue Xue: "How about Clover? It’s very artistic."

Liu Yiyi: "It’s red, so how about ’Red Leaf’?"

Chi Xue Child: "A duck named Red Leaf? Might as well just call it ’Quacky’."

Xiao Xiaomo: "What a tacky name. I think ’Hong Dou’ is better."

Chen Yi: "Why does everyone like such feminine names? Can’t we pick something more domineering? Like ’Crimson Overlord’!"

Yang Mu: "How about ’Reddy’?"

Liu Yu: "Why do all the names you guys are suggesting sound so familiar?"

Watching the names fly across the group chat, Jiang Zuo looked at the Red Duck and said, "Should I give you a name?"

The duck heard this and nodded its head quickly, apparently understanding him.

Jiang Zuo thought for a moment, then said decisively, "From now on, your name is Sweet Potato."

The duck then nodded its head again and again, seeming quite satisfied.

After that, Jiang Zuo sent a simple message to the group: "Its name is Sweet Potato from now on."

"Sweet Potato?" Fairy Mo Yan was surprised. "So the Boss is still thinking about eating it. Boss, let me ask you something. Last time, you said you were going to visit the Holy Land’s outpost. What was the result?"

As she asked this question, Mo Yan’s heart was pounding.

Nearby, Liuyue Xue and Chi Xue Child stared at Mo Yan in surprise. Chi Xue Child said, "What are you doing? Didn’t we agree to leave it alone for now?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Mo Yan had a wronged expression on her face. "I was just curious, so I asked instinctively! What do I do now? Should I retract the message?"

"Do you think there’s enough time?"

"Probably not."

Jiang Zuo looked at Mo Yan’s question. ’Well,’ he thought, ’she probably found out the Balanced Glass Cabinet was stolen and is now suspecting me.’

’After all, I said I was going to take a look, and it disappeared shortly after. It’d be weird if she *didn’t* suspect me.’

Jiang Zuo tapped his keyboard a few times and replied, "What you’re thinking is correct."

Seeing Jiang Zuo’s reply, Mo Yan was completely dumbfounded. "What does he mean?"

Xiao Xiaomo sighed. "What else could it mean? Boss Po Xiao just openly admitted that he’s the one who took it."

"Then what do we do? This really has nothing to do with me! They can’t make me pay for it," Mo Yan said.

Chi Xue Child was confused. "What do you think Fellow Daoist Po Xiao wants with it? Realistically, with the abilities he’s shown, he really has no need for a mere Balanced Glass Cabinet."
