My Wife Might Be a Saintess-Chapter 80 - 79: Cherish Life, Stay Away from Forging

Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Cherish Life, Stay Away from Forging

The deal with Chu Qing—or rather, with Chu Qing—was to take place below the Tianhe Group building.

By the time Jiang Zuo arrived, Chu Qing was already there.

She was a young girl who looked very shy and bashful.

Her long hair was bundled up in a thick scarf, with a bit of her forehead peeking out from under her bangs. Half her face was buried in the scarf, and her sleeves covered the backs of her hands. A cute miniskirt just managed to cover her hips, revealing slender legs in black stockings. She stood in a demure, pigeon-toed stance.

To be honest, the moment he saw her, Jiang Zuo felt a bit dazed. ’This girl... she’s truly one of a kind, bursting with personality.’

Jiang Zuo looked up at the sun. ’If I remember correctly, it’s summer, isn’t it?’

He took a photo from a distance and sent it to the group chat.

"Was this person raised wrong?"

Chen Yi sent a surprised emoji: "Boss, I can’t believe Chu Qing actually caught your eye."

Liuyue Xue: "Mo Yan said she suspected Chu Qing was a guy. After all, Chu Qing dresses so cutely, so she went into her dream. In the end, she found out she’s really a girl.

So Mo Yan’s theory is that even though Chu Qing is a girl, she insists on thinking of herself as a master cross-dresser.

To put it simply, Fairy Mo Yan said: ’That girl has a pit in her brain, and I tripped in it a few times.’"

Liu Yiyi immediately asked: "How long will Demon Cultivator Mo Yan be laid up? She’s not going to get bored and come scare me, is she?"

Liuyue Xue replied: "For quite a while, probably. Her injuries and Chi Xue Child’s are unusually severe. They probably won’t be able to make it to the Holy Land’s battle against the Blood Demons this time.

They’re both here with me."

’So, did she forge so much she ended up forging her brain wrong, too?’ Jiang Zuo stopped paying attention to the group chat. He was more focused on this Chu Qing.

He really disliked dealing with weirdos. ’You couldn’t reason with them. The ones who deserved to be killed, you couldn’t kill; the ones you could kill, there was no reason to kill.’

’So troublesome.’

Jiang Zuo then walked straight up to Chu Qing. The moment she saw him, Chu Qing smiled. "Uncle Po Xiao?"

’Jiang Zuo had to admire this girl. Daring to call him ’uncle’... he wondered how many levels of seniority she was implicitly giving herself. But he didn’t really care.’

Instead, he asked, "Chu Qing? Older Sister Chu Qing?"

Chu Qing smiled and nodded. She seemed quite demure. If it weren’t for her bizarre outfit, she would have seemed perfectly normal.

Without another word, Jiang Zuo took out the Thunder Mark Hammer. "The Spirit Stones?"

Chu Qing’s eyes lit up as she stared at the Thunder Mark Hammer, but she remained polite. "Hang on, I’ll get them out right now."

As she spoke, Chu Qing set down the small backpack she was wearing and unzipped it.

Jiang Zuo saw all sorts of Spirit Stones inside, ranging from First Grade to Fourth Grade. It looked like a fortune.

Moreover, some of the Spirit Stones were still stained with blood.

Chu Qing said quickly, "Some are a bit dirty, I’ll wipe them clean. But the amount is definitely right, I counted."

Jiang Zuo looked at the Spirit Stones and gave a slight nod. "Mm. If it’s all good, I’ll take them directly."

Jiang Zuo then stored all the Spirit Stones in his Spatial Treasure. He wasn’t about to carry so many around by hand.

Meanwhile, Chu Qing was hugging the Thunder Mark Hammer, repeatedly rubbing her cheek against it. It seemed she truly loved the hammer.

After a moment of this, she seemed to snap out of it and apologized to Jiang Zuo. "Sorry for embarrassing myself in front of you. I’ll be going now."

Jiang Zuo didn’t respond, and Chu Qing didn’t wait for one. She just left.

It seemed the only thing in her eyes was the Thunder Mark Hammer.

Watching Chu Qing leave, Jiang Zuo shook his head and sighed, a rare occurrence. "Cherish your life. Stay away from forging."

Afterward, Jiang Zuo went to Marketing Department 2. It was getting late, so naturally, there weren’t many people around, but Jiang Zuo spotted Jiang Ran.

He saw him, of course, but paid him no mind.

But while Jiang Zuo didn’t care, Jiang Ran approached him once again.

Jiang Ran walked up to Jiang Zuo and said, "Come with me. Someone is looking for you."

Jiang Zuo frowned but followed him anyway.

Once again, they went to a conference room. To Jiang Zuo’s surprise, Jiang Ran stopped and remained outside.

Inside, Jiang Zuo saw four people. Three were acquaintances, at least, since he had met them before.

These were the same three people who had gone to the Ancient Battlefield for the qualification trial. Three had gone in, and two had come out missing an arm.

Now, it seemed they had been fitted with prosthetics.

The fourth person was a burly, rough-looking man.

His whole vibe was completely different from the other three.

Seeing Jiang Zuo enter, the burly man immediately stood up, cupped his fists, and said, "I am Daoist Crazy Python. First, on behalf of my junior brother and sister, I wish to apologize, fellow Daoist. We caused great offense before, and I hope you can find it in you to forgive us.

Naturally, we have also prepared a generous gift to thank you for rescuing them."

Then Daoist Crazy Python said awkwardly, "Well, we’re a bit tight on funds lately. Here are three Fifth-Grade Spirit Stones. I hope this will be enough for you to put the matter to rest."

As he spoke, Daoist Crazy Python placed three Spirit Stones on the table.

Jiang Zuo was slightly surprised but walked over with a poker face and accepted the Spirit Stones.

He saw no reason to refuse, nor did he want to.

Seeing Jiang Zuo accept the Spirit Stones, Daoist Crazy Python immediately continued, "Here’s the thing. Our main purpose for coming here today is to ask if you would sell the Spiritual Talisman to us. Price is not an issue..."

"Not for sale," Jiang Zuo said flatly, taking a seat.

Daoist Crazy Python was taken aback. He tried again, "You see, this Spiritual Talisman is very important to us..."

"Not for sale."

"Three Sixth-Grade Spirit Stones," Daoist Crazy Python offered directly.

’Jiang Zuo was tempted. In the beginning, the talisman had been completely useless to him, but after his trip to the palace, he had discovered that it seemed to be quite useful.’

In the end, Jiang Zuo still refused. "Not for sale."

"One Seventh-Grade."

"Not for sale."

Daoist Crazy Python’s eyebrow twitched. ’A Seventh-Grade Spirit Stone! That’s an astronomical sum, yet this guy still won’t sell.’

Finally, he said with resignation, "Fine, we won’t buy it. However, we hope to book you, fellow Daoist, for our next commission. We’ll be going to a similar place, one that also has a Spiritual Talisman."

Jiang Zuo frowned. ’What kind of group is this?’

’An extension of the Ancient Battlefield... are such places something you can just find whenever you feel like it?’

Seeing that Jiang Zuo didn’t answer right away, Daoist Crazy Python quickly added, "Rest assured, fellow Daoist. We pride ourselves on our integrity and act righteously. There won’t be any unpleasantness."

Jiang Zuo glanced at the other three. "And cooperate with those three idiots?"

The three of them looked ready to erupt on the spot, but the burly man completely suppressed them.

Daoist Crazy Python chuckled. "You may be mistaken, fellow Daoist. My three junior siblings are actually quite clever, just a bit impulsive at times. Besides, I will be going this time as well.

I’ll be sure to keep a close eye on them.

Moreover, we only want the Spiritual Talisman. We absolutely will not take anything else. As for your compensation, it will naturally be generous.

We’re all just trying to make our way in this world. What’s important is to be righteous."

Jiang Zuo looked at Daoist Crazy Python in surprise. He was genuinely astonished. ’People in the world of Cultivation still talk about righteousness?’

’Never heard of such a thing.’
