The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 29: A Name

As they descended from the second floor, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang still didn’t care about the envious or astonished gazes of the people around them.

Without stopping on the first floor, they directly walked out of Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

After finding a secluded corner and changing back into their normal clothes, Su Jingzhen’s eyes were filled with excitement.

It was only then that he looked at Shuang Jiang and asked, “Shuang Jiang, you mentioned earlier that the North Sea Dragon’s blood is also for me, right?”

Shuang Jiang glanced at him lightly and said, “The North Sea Dragon’s blood isn’t particularly high-level, but it’s quite suitable for you right now. If you can get it, it can be considered a sacred object for Body Cultivation. At the very least, it can lay a perfect foundation for your Body Cultivation and increase your strength by several levels. Unfortunately, this place is too small.”

Shuang Jiang’s tone was slightly regretful as she spoke.

Su Jingzhen’s eyes revealed a hint of longing upon hearing this. Who wouldn’t want to increase their strength? But he didn’t lose hope.

After all, he, Su Jingzhen, had never been one to aim too high.

He asked again, “But didn’t Feng Qingya say earlier that one drop of North Sea Dragon’s blood is worth a hundred high-grade spirit stones? With my current financial situation, even if they have it, we can’t afford it.”

He believed that Shuang Jiang could have easily taken out that many spirit stones in the past, but now she was also struggling financially.

Shuang Jiang’s lips curved up again, and the scars on her face still seemed slightly ferocious.

“If I tell you that I can give her a name and get a loan of ten thousand high-grade spirit stones from Treasure Gathering Pavilion, do you believe me?”

Su Jingzhen was stunned again. Ten thousand? High-grade spirit stones?

That was an enormous amount of wealth, and he was already getting dizzy.

But despite this, Su Jingzhen chose to believe Shuang Jiang’s words without a reason.

After all, Shuang Jiang’s display of ‘pressure’ in the private room had instantly made Feng Qingya, who was initially arrogant, tremble with fear.

Su Jingzhen had always known that Shuang Jiang might be a super powerful leg, but he had never expected it to be so extraordinary.

Before Su Jingzhen could respond, Shuang Jiang continued, “And if they really have the North Sea Dragon’s blood here, can’t I just take it by force?”

Shuang Jiang spoke with an air of confidence, leaving Su Jingzhen speechless.

His curiosity was growing, and he wondered what kind of existence Shuang Jiang was at her peak.

However, one thing did bring him some comfort.

That was that after their emotional connection reached ‘Slight Fondness’, Shuang Jiang’s tone when speaking to him had become more gentle.

Although she was still cold and distant, Su Jingzhen had grown accustomed to and enjoyed this way of interacting with her.

As they chatted casually, they bought some beast meat and spirit rice, and headed towards Peach Blossom Alley.

Along the way, they encountered many people, including some cultivators from Peach Blossom Alley.

“Mr. Su, I heard you’ve taken a beautiful wife. Is this her?”

“Ah, yes, this is my wife, Shuang Jiang.” Su Jingzhen introduced her with a serious tone.

“Ah, she’s indeed a national beauty, and you two are a perfect match, a perfect match indeed. Haha, congratulations, congratulations…”

However, most of the time, Su Jingzhen’s serious responses would only elicit sarcastic laughter.

Many low-level cultivators, who had given up on their cultivation, would often develop worldly mentalities, comparing whose Dao Companion was more beautiful, whose child was more talented, and so on.

When encountering such situations, Su Jingzhen would often laugh it off, showing that he was stronger than them.

But Su Jingzhen didn’t mind.

At this point, he had already become very calm, and when looking at those cultivators who mocked him, his eyes would even reveal a hint of pity.

Only he knew that after meeting Shuang Jiang, he was no longer the same as those true low-level cultivators.

?Emotional Connection +6?

?Remaining usable points: 71?

In the face of such situations, Su Jingzhen’s calm demeanor, without any signs of anger, had apparently earned Shuang Jiang’s appreciation.

The points naturally increased again.

Su Jingzhen smiled slightly, and although he was surprised by the occasional point increases, he was gradually getting used to it.

“If it were in the past, I would have already killed these people.”

At this time, Shuang Jiang spoke calmly, but Su Jingzhen detected a hint of killing intent in her words.

He smiled and said, “Let them mock me, I’ll just ignore them. The clear wind blows freely, and the sun shines brightly. They can laugh all they want, but I’ll just focus on my own cultivation. After all, they’re just a bunch of low-level cultivators, and their achievements will be limited to this level. Why bother arguing with them over words?”

Su Jingzhen knew that Shuang Jiang was once an unparalleled beauty, and now, with her scars, she was already unhappy about being mocked by others.

Shuang Jiang’s heart was moved by Su Jingzhen’s sudden display of confidence, which was unexpectedly strong.

“They mock me, I’ll ignore them. The clear wind blows freely, and the sun shines brightly…”

Shuang Jiang’s heart was lightly chanting Su Jingzhen’s previous two sentences.

Her heart felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Although Su Jingzhen’s cultivation was low, the height of his words was something that Shuang Jiang felt she couldn’t reach.

It was like the day she suddenly understood the principles of the Dao in the academy.

The difference was that those principles were obtained by Su Jingzhen by chance, but these two sentences seemed to come from his own heart.

Her heart was increasingly complex and shaken.

?Emotional Connection +6?

?Emotional Connection +6?

?Emotional Connection +6?

The rare triple hit reappeared in Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

He gained 18 points, and his remaining usable points increased to 89.

This was the effect of high-level emotional connection.

But Su Jingzhen felt that every word he said to Shuang Jiang was unintentional.

He had long known that when facing someone like Shuang Jiang, sincerity was always the strongest killing technique.

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Shuang Jiang’s lips curved up again.

“You’ve really surprised me. But what you said earlier, that those people are just low-level cultivators, aren’t you the same, stuck at the second layer of Qi refinement?”

Regarding Shuang Jiang’s words, Su Jingzhen shook his head seriously.

“Miss Shuang Jiang, your words are quite inaccurate. Perhaps I was indeed at the bottom of the cultivation world, or even the lowest of the low.”

“But since I met you, it’s no longer the case.”

“This isn’t flattery, but a genuine sentiment from the heart.”

When Shuang Jiang heard Su Jingzhen’s words, she instinctively wanted to retort, but she opened her mouth and couldn’t say anything.

“……”

?Emotional Connection+6?

?Remaining usable points: 95?

It was only on the way back home, and the points had unknowingly approached a hundred again.

As they chatted idly, the two of them quickly returned to Enlightenment School.

The school gate was open, and Su Jingzhen’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

As they walked in, they saw Zhang Xiu standing under the peach tree in the courtyard.
