Chapter 849: Chapter 414: Jiang Yi Came Again_2

Jiang Wan laughed and said, "Isn’t this perfectly normal? A Ghost City is naturally a place for the dead, of course it’s here."

Jiang Shouzhong was momentarily speechless.

Jiang Wan gently stroked Little Jiangyi’s head and softly said, "When you see a ghost later, don’t be afraid, just stay quietly by sister’s side, alright?"

"Hmph, I’m not afraid of ghosts."

Little Jiangyi stiffened his neck, eyes round and full of defiance.

Just as he finished speaking, a sudden chilly wind blew through, rustling the nearby trees.

Instantly, Little Jiangyi leapt off the cow’s back, his small hand grasping Jiang Shouzhong’s clothes tightly like a vise, yet stubbornly muttered, "Even if I’m scared, I have Daddy to protect me."

"Alright, when your daddy doesn’t care about you, don’t cling to me."

Jiang Wan raised her brows lightly, her eyes forming charming crescents, and they were filled with teasing glances.

"Daddy won’t ignore me." Little Jiangyi said.

Jiang Wan smiled faintly and jumped off the cow’s back.

Following the sense of the mark, her steps moved slowly and finally stopped in front of a grave.

Jiang Wan said to Jiang Shouzhong, "Dig it up."

Jiang Shouzhong initially wanted to take out the Seven Kills Blade to dig but glanced at the Cow Demon and the puppy in Little Jiangyi’s arms, then he slapped his forehead in annoyance and thought, "There’s a ready-made workforce, why do it myself?"

He immediately ordered the Cow Demon and Dog Demon to dig the grave, and also summoned the Rat Demon.

The three demons dared not have any objections and obediently got to work.

In no time, the desolate grave was dug open.

Before them was only an old, cracked coffin.

Curious, Jiang Shouzhong leaned in for a closer look but found the coffin surprisingly empty, without any remains.

Full of doubts, he turned to Jiang Wan, who was leisurely savoring candied hawthorn, and asked, "Didn’t see any entrance."

Jiang Wan slightly parted her lips and said something that left Jiang Shouzhong stunned, "Take off your clothes."

"Huh?"

"Take off your clothes, just the outer ones."

Jiang Wan added.

Feeling completely puzzled but seeing Jiang Wan’s serious expression, Jiang Shouzhong had no choice but to take off his outer garment.

Jiang Wan clapped her hands, took the garment, laid it in the coffin, and then, without any hesitation, lay straight inside.

"Lie down here, what are you standing around for?"

Jiang Wan gestured to Jiang Shouzhong and Little Jiangyi.

Jiang Shouzhong and Little Jiangyi looked a bit dumbfounded.

Lie down in a coffin?

Why make it so ominous?

Seeing them hesitating, Jiang Wan’s face turned stern: "Hurry up!"

Scratch his head, Jiang Shouzhong, faced with no other choice, had to take Little Jiangyi and lay inside the coffin.

Because this old coffin was fairly spacious, it didn’t feel crowded.

Little Jiangyi’s face was tense with fear as she clung tightly to Jiang Shouzhong, arms wrapping around him like vines, her small face turned somewhat pale, clearly scared.

Jiang Wan, seeing her like this, curled her lips into a smile, teasingly said, "Scared, aren’t you?"

Little Jiangyi loudly retorted, "Not scared."

However, her slightly trembling voice betrayed her true inner feelings.

Jiang Shouzhong furrowed his brow and asked, "Can you explain a bit more clearly, exactly what are we doing?"

Jiang Wan waved her jade-like hand gently, taking a skewer of candied hawthorn hanging from a nearby stick, she leisurely chewed on it before swallowing, slowly saying:

"If you want to enter the Ghost City, you need to be covered in enough Yin Sha Death Qi."

Death Qi?

I already have Death Qi on me, what’s the point of lying down?

Jiang Shouzhong asked, "How long do we need to lie?"

Jiang Wan, unconcerned, said, "Depends on the situation; once the gates to the Ghost City open to us, we can enter; otherwise, we’ll just keep lying here."

Jiang Shouzhong’s mouth twitched slightly, so he ended up lying there.

Time passed by the second, and the three of them lay in the eerie coffin, surrounded by an inexplicable spooky atmosphere.

During this time, perhaps due to boredom or inner fear, Little Jiangyi insisted on Jiang Shouzhong telling her stories.

Jiang Shouzhong casually told several to amuse her.

As Little Jiangyi listened, her eyelids gradually grew heavy, and eventually, she fell into a deep sleep.

"Continue the story."

Jiang Wan, however, was still eager for more, her eyes bright and shining with excitement, clearly addicted to listening.

Jiang Shouzhong rolled his eyes in annoyance and retorted, "You’re not a child anymore."

"Am I not now?" Jiang Wan raised her brows.

"Old woman pretending to be young."

Jiang Shouzhong blurted out without thinking.

As soon as he said this, Jiang Wan’s eyes narrowed abruptly, and she slowly turned her head, staring at Jiang Shouzhong with a half-smile: "Old what?"

"Uh... I mean, you’re very mature and incredibly charming."

Feeling the murderous aura in her eyes, Jiang Shouzhong hurriedly corrected himself.

Jiang Wan snorted coldly: "Kid, I’m truly a pure maiden, and you’re the first man I’ve slept with; it’s your lifelong honor."

Jiang Shouzhong was embarrassed: "Haven’t you been married?"

"Marriage is just for having children; I can’t have kids, so what’s the point of a wedding night? Waste of energy."

Jiang Wan said indifferently.

Jiang Shouzhong felt her thoughts were a bit narrow-minded, couldn’t help saying: "The fun in the wedding night isn’t necessarily just for having children, there’s a lot of joy in a marriage."

"What you said doesn’t work for me; I have absolutely no feelings for male-female desires. If not for my higher aspirations back then, little junior sister Li Guanshi definitely wouldn’t have become the Sect Leader of the South Sea Holy Sect, nor would she qualify to cultivate the ’Three Lives Longevity Skill’."

Jiang Wan’s tone was calm, as if speaking about an irrelevant matter.

"Li Guanshi might be detached from desires, while I’ve completely renounced them. Compared to stone woman Li Guanshi, I’m like a body without worldly desires."

Jiang Shouzhong looked at her with some curiosity: "Then what are your higher aspirations?"

Jiang Wan slightly raised her head, her eyes gazing at the azure sky and floating white clouds, saying leisurely: "I want to see what’s beyond this world; the universe is vast, yet humans are so small. I want to leave this cage and explore."

Hmm, understood.

The world is so big, I want to see it.

Jiang Shouzhong sighed: "Too bad you were born in the wrong era; can’t become an astronaut."

"What is that?"

Jiang Wan didn’t understand.

Jiang Shouzhong explained generally: "It’s a tool that can take you out into space, to the universe."

"Magic Artifact?"

Jiang Wan seemed to understand somewhat.

"You could say that."

"You really have a good imagination, and your stories are very enjoyable; no wonder you have so many confidantes around you." Jiang Wan rarely acknowledged Jiang Shouzhong’s charm.

Jiang Shouzhong returned to the topic: "So can you succeed now?"

Jiang Wan shook her head: "I don’t know, but first, I’ll help Qingchen escape the Demon Sea. Once I save that girl, I’ll try to go up and see the Taoyuan Holy Land."

Jiang Shouzhong looked at the girl’s pure and clean face, feeling some admiration.

After spending a long time with her, one could genuinely feel that this woman was extraordinarily pure; perhaps many thoughts were hidden deep inside, but her pursuit was definitely pure.

"I want to know, is your cultivation the best in the world now?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked again.

Jiang Wan modestly said: "Actually, it’s just average. As long as Li Guanshi is willing to die, Yan Changqing doesn’t ascend, Zhao Wuxiu doesn’t rebirth in Nirvana, and you’re messing around among women all your life, I might barely be the best in the world."

"..."

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t know how to follow up.

This mother-in-law isn’t humble at all.

At this moment, little Jiangyi in his arms suddenly frowned tightly, her face showing some pain.

Soon after, a layer of soft white glow appeared around the young girl, her body changing visibly, her once young face beginning to mature.

Is she preparing to return to her normal form?

Having experienced this once before, Jiang Shouzhong wasn’t too nervous about such a change.

Jiang Wan’s expression changed though.

She ate the remaining sugar-coated haws all at once and said to Jiang Shouzhong: "I’ll temporarily give Er Liang back to you, also comfort my sister when she’s awake, thanks."

After speaking, the woman closed her eyes.

"Huh?"

Jiang Shouzhong was puzzled.

Before he could react, he found Jiang Wan had fainted.

Sister, what are you doing?
