Chapter 803: Chapter 393: Comrade Jiang Sweating Profusely

Jiang Shouzhong and Mengniang’s special cultivation can’t be completed in a short time, so another room had to be arranged for them.

Qu Hongling woke up rather quickly.

However, after regaining consciousness, the girl had no memory of her sudden scream earlier.

Dugu Luoxue conducted a thorough examination and confirmed that Qu Hongling’s body showed no abnormalities, finally allowing herself to relax.

At this time, the atmosphere in the living room was extremely heavy.

Aside from Jinxiu, who continued to care attentively for Jiang Shouzhong, the rest of the women were present. Their expressions ranged from solemn to worried, each harboring complex emotions.

Upon learning that Jiang Yi was trapped inside the Magic Treasure Cactus, Li Guanshi, who had originally planned to leave, stayed.

After all, she and Jiang Yi had once been close friends.

Leng Jingjing briefly underwent some injury recovery and then explained Jiang Yi’s situation to the group. When she mentioned the Magic Treasure Cactus, the young girl said:

"Actually, that cactus is originally part of the Nirvana Bone, to be precise, it’s a key. Without that cactus, even if someone forcibly refines the Nirvana Bone, it will still leave seeds of disaster.

Moreover, from the ancient records of Tianqing Manor, the Nirvana Bone supposedly originates from Demon Sea Mountain..."

Jiang Que impatiently asked, "Quit dragging this out—just tell us outright, trapped in that cactus for so many days, can she still survive?"

Jiang Que wasn’t unfamiliar with Jiang Yi.

Back then, when she avenged her sister and killed the wicked man, initially readying herself for imprisonment, it was Jiang Shouzhong who asked Jiang Yi to help resolve the subsequent troubles and gave her a new lease on life.

Jiang Que hadn’t forgotten this favor.

Thus, upon hearing the news of Jiang Yi’s plight, she was willing to lend a hand.

Leng Jingjing shook her little head: "I’m not sure either, but logically, given the time that has passed, it seems unlikely she could survive. Especially since Ms. Jiang is just an ordinary person."

The crowd fell silent.

Leng Jingjing’s words reflected their collective concern.

If Jiang Yi were a cultivator, her vitality could at least persist for longer. But as it stood, she was merely a mortal who needed food and water. After so much time, could she still be alive?

Luo Wanqing looked at Li Guanshi: "With our combined cultivation levels, could we break the barrier of the Moon in Water Bridge together?"

Li Guanshi responded curtly: "No."

"Then this is tricky." Luo Wanqing rubbed her temples: "Sigh, trying to think optimistically... The cactus is at least a Magic Treasure—it might have some means of preserving life essence. Hopefully."

Ran Qingchen, seated in a corner, remained silent throughout.

No one knew what she was thinking.

Xiao Lingqiu had heard of Jiang Yi’s name but wasn’t acquainted with her, so her survival or demise mattered little to him.

He merely gazed at this room full of women, exhausted at heart.

He genuinely couldn’t fathom what made Jiang Mo so irresistible, entangling himself with so many stunning beauties. Was this man truly so dissolute and unfaithful?

Fortunately, she hadn’t developed any romantic feelings for Jiang Mo and liked him purely as a friend.

Fortunately, she had always upheld her principles and never allowed him to take liberties.

Fortunately, she was broad-minded and felt no jealousy whatsoever.

Yes, no jealousy.

At all. Not jealous!

Xiao Lingqiu clenched her fists tightly, teeth grinding as she internally consoled herself.

Such a man must be avoided at all costs!

When she returned to Yanrong, she’d keep a vigilant eye on Yelü Miaomiao to ensure that the girl didn’t grow infatuated and run off to become his concubine.

At this moment, Jiang Que’s almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and she suddenly chimed in brightly: "Since everyone’s here, why not cut to the chase and settle this once and for all? Who really deserves to be Jiang Mo’s rightful wife?"

Her words caused a wave of odd expressions among the women.

As the lone outsider, Li Guanshi observed their reactions with considerable amusement, her demeanor playful as she fanned the flames: "You’re right. A decision should be made."

"Hmph, if you’re all interested, go ahead and settle it yourselves. Don’t involve me!"

Ran Qingchen’s expression turned icy.

Jiang Que clapped her hands and said cheerfully, "Well, that makes one person who’s voluntarily bowed out—she won’t be eligible to take on the role of the wife. Anyone else want to step aside?"

Ran Qingchen’s face darkened, her lips parting as if to object, but ultimately she stayed silent.

Jiang Que counted on her fingers and concluded, "Master Li, although you’ve decided to engage in Dual Cultivation with Jiang Mo, your aspiration is the Great Path of Cultivation, so being a wife isn’t part of your interests. Right, Master Li?"

"Correct."

Li Guanshi nodded with a smile.

Jiang Que smiled sweetly, directing her gaze toward Dugu Luoxue: "Senior Dugu is Jiang Mo’s mentor, so of course she wouldn’t commit such a scandalous act."

Dugu Luoxue’s eyelids twitched but couldn’t refute.

Jiang Que then turned her gaze to Xiao Lingqiu, her former ally:

"This ’Sister Jingjing’ told me earlier she and Jiang Mo are just friends, so she certainly doesn’t want to be his wife. Isn’t that right, Sister Jingjing?"

"I..."

Xiao Lingqiu bit her lip before replying stiffly, "We’re just friends."

Jiang Que chuckled and carried on: "Miss Leng is merely friends with Jiang Mo, and nothing has developed yet. As for Jinxiu, her destiny as a mere maid makes her unfit for the role of rightful wife.

The Snake Demon Mengniang? She’s even less qualified.

Oh, Sister Qu might have the credentials, but I heard you’ve already drafted a divorce letter to Jiang Mo, haven’t you? Then you also wouldn’t be a suitable choice as his wife."

Faced with the young girl’s probing gaze, Qu Hongling was momentarily at a loss.

As crafty and clever as she was in her daily life, being confronted with the matter of her divorce letter to Jiang Mo struck a painful nerve she had no means to refute.
