My wife is a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox
Chapter 222: Disgusting Upper Realm

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Disgusting Upper Realm

Wu Xia felt his mindset was somewhat exploding, completely unable to calm down.

Although he had many women, Lin Jiao was the only one who had been with him since his ordinary early days.

Moreover, she was his sister-in-law.

It is said that one should never abandon a wife who has gone through thick and thin, nor forget an old friend who has shared poorer days.

How could Wu Xia let Lin Jiao just inexplicably disappear like that?

Moreover, Lin Jiao was pregnant, and it had already been almost a month. Was he to let the child be born without a mother?

Wu Xia could not accept it, feeling utterly terrible.

"Ah!"

He roared out, and the entire world within the painting trembled.

It was then that Wu Xia noticed a clue.

In the rolled-up part of the entire painting, there was actually a narrow hidden space.

Along with Wu Xia’s roar, a faint force emanated from that space.

Wu Xia did not hesitate and immediately flashed into the narrow space.

Inside was pitch black. He could not see his hand before his face, nor could he hear even a slight sound.

Wu Xia instantly felt Lin Jiao’s soul, which had been frightened out of it’s wits, inside.

"Jiaojao!"

Wu Xia rushed forward fiercely.

"Ah!"

Lin Jiao screamed sharply, frantically fleeing.

Wu Xia’s heart ached unbearably, and he hurriedly used his Spiritual Power to light up the entire space.

He had not expected the Painting Spirit to treat Lin Jiao like this, locking her in a tiny dark room.

If he had known it was like this, he would never have let the Painting Spirit off so easily.

The moment the light appeared, Lin Jiao quickly curled up in a corner, screaming in terror and trembling.

"Don’t come over, don’t come over!"

"Jiaojao, it’s me, Wu Xia!"

Wu Xia’s eyes moistened, his voice choking.

He walked forward tremblingly, and only then did Lin Jiao see Wu Xia. She lost her voice, unable to speak, and rushed into Wu Xia’s arms, crying painfully.

Wu Xia, holding back his inner pain, gently patted Lin Jiao’s back, using Spiritual Power to soothe her emotions.

"I’m sorry, I came too late!"

His heart twisted in agony.

The fierce Killing Aura enveloped everything, even making Orochi hidden in Mount Fuji tremble.

Wu Xia forcefully controlled his emotions, taking Lin Jiao away from there, to the outside of the painting.

With his consolation, Lin Jiao had gradually fallen asleep.

Wu Xia looked at her face covered in tear stains, that pitiful cheek, and gently wiped away her tears.

"Jiaojao, I’m sorry, it is my fault; I will never let you be harmed again!"

Wu Xia felt immensely agitated inside.

Unable to protect even the woman he loved most, he saw no point in practicing any further.

Especially seeing the Painting Spirit, an Upper Realm creature without any strength yet so malicious, Wu Xia lost all interest in cultivation.

Even towards the Upper Realm, he felt nothing but revulsion.

He did not rush to return Lin Jiao to her body but first erased those unpleasant memories for her.

Along with the memories about Wu Tie.

Although the pain had already seeped deep into Lin Jiao’s soul, Wu Xia still wanted her to forget.

He couldn’t bear to see Lin Jiao and remind her of the days spent in the dark room.

After so long, Wu Xia could not imagine how Lin Jiao had endured.

His heart was bleeding.

After erasing Lin Jiao’s memories, Wu Xia then woke Yaoji.

"Ah, husband, you’ve become so powerful?"

Yaoji began in surprise, "How long has it been?"

"Oh my, it’s only been a mere month, husband, you are truly a cultivation genius— even the geniuses from the Upper Realm couldn’t match your pace!"

"Tell me quickly, how did you manage it!"

"I will explain later, come back for now!" Wu Xia’s mood was not good, nor was he in the mood to discuss further: "Come back, I will return Jiaojiao’s soul to her body!"

"Hmm!"

Yaoji nodded her head and left Lin Jiao’s body, returning to Wu Xia’s body.

Wu Xia also successfully returned Lin Jiao’s soul to her body, allowing it to fully merge.

However, as her soul had been shocked, it appeared very frail and had been away from her body for too long. Once it reentered, Lin Jiao fell into a coma.

No matter what method Wu Xia used, it was to no avail; Lin Jiao lay there like a vegetative person.

"Husband, she has been severely shocked; now she is practically soul-shattered!"

Yaoji quickly explained, "You won’t be able to wake her like this; she needs a Nirvana Rebirth!"

"What should I do?" Wu Xia’s voice turned ice-cold.

"The phoenix—you need the Essence Blood of a phoenix!" Yaoji said solemnly.

"A phoenix?" Wu Xia’s face twitched violently: "Where can I find a phoenix?"

"Is there even a phoenix in this world?"

"I don’t know!" Yaoji shook her head: "But since there is Orochi, there should be a phoenix too. You could ask the snake; maybe it knows something!"

Without pondering further, Wu Xia immediately flashed into the painting, finding Orochi: "Do you know about the phoenix?"

"I do!" Orochi replied, "Isn’t the phoenix Vermilion Bird?"

"The Four Great Divine Beasts of your Qing Country—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu!"

"Aren’t they respectively guarding the east, south, west, and north of your Qing Country?"

"Hmm?" Wu Xia frowned deeply, suddenly recalling what the elder of the Inner Court had said— it had been Emperor Qing and the Four Divine Beasts that had controlled the wars.

The Four Great Divine Beasts also formed a Formation, sealing those terrifying beings.

Wu Xia was in no mood to pay attention to Orochi and flashed out again.

"Husband, I still need to return to Lin Jiao’s body, otherwise her weak soul cannot sustain her body,"

Yaoji said gently, "Husband, don’t be anxious; calm down. Being too hasty will throw you off balance!"

"Hmm!"

Wu Xia nodded his head, gratefully looking at Yaoji: "Yaoji, thank you; you have struggled so much on this journey!"

"It isn’t hard!" Yaoji covered her mouth, laughing: "As long as it is good for the husband, it’s fine. With the husband’s well-being, Yaoji can revive better. We support each other!"

What Wu Xia didn’t see, however, was the sinister glimpse in Yaoji’s eyes as she smiled with her head bent down.

Moreover, from the recent incident involving the Painting Spirit, while Wu Xia’s perception of Upper Realm People had changed, he forgot that when facing Yaoji.

He never considered why Yaoji, who hadn’t gained anything from him, continued to treat him so well.

Furthermore, all the events happening around him seemed as though they were orchestrated; with each step he took, he was being led by the nose.

Yet, Wu Xia’s mind was clouded by the situation with Lin Jiao, so he couldn’t think of that possibility.

What Yaoji called for him to calm down was merely to fill him with gratitude toward her. How could he calm down if Lin Jiao did not wake up?

Little did he know, a massive conspiracy was quietly unfolding.
