Mistaking My Wife for a Spirit Pet - Chapter 19
Chapter 19
“Let’s go.”
Nan Zhi glanced at Yu Shu, her eyes strange.
“Not going yet?”
As she spoke, Nan Zhi was glared at, and then a weight settled on her waist.
“…”
She subconsciously lowered her head, looking at the hand on her waist with a blank expression, and remained silent.
“Not flying yet?”
Forget it, the Young City Lord is always like this, sometimes good, sometimes bad.
She looked at the sky, her gaze resting on a lone cloud.
In an instant.
A clear dragon roar resounded on the coast. An azure dragon appeared in the clouds, swimming nimbly, riding the wind and passing through the clouds.
The Profound Sword Sect trio was dumbfounded.
Yang Cunxi looked up, mumbling, “How are we going to explain this?”
Chen Xuexue’s face was expressionless. She replied, “Let’s go back.”
Fang Datong let out a strange cry. “But I don’t know how to pilot a flying boat!”
The three of them looked at each other and fell silent.
If only they had asked for a flying boat manual. After all, this was an artifact refined by the Young City Lord herself.
…
After flying for who knows how long, the sky darkened. Nan Zhi silently found a valley and landed to rest.
It was a secluded place. When she looked up, she could see a sky full of stars. When she looked down, she could see the new shoots of grass and trees on the ground. When she looked around, she could see a deep green pond not far away.
“Where are you going?” Yu Shu called out from behind.
Nan Zhi couldn’t help but laugh. She stood under a tree and silently took out a simple bed, a must-have for travel, and asked in return, “Don’t you want to rest for a bit?”
Yu Shu: …
At this moment, Nan Zhi was waving at the bedside, which made her uncontrollably remember the first day they met.
Not a good memory.
She shook her head to clear her thoughts and pretended to be calm as she walked over.
Nan Zhi was still standing at the head of the bed, quietly looking at her. The moonlight was enchanting, and the shallow golden pupils shimmered.
Yu Shu sat on the edge of the bed and moved her gaze to the side. Just as she was about to explain that even though she had decided to give her a chance, Nan Zhi couldn’t share a bed with her, a rustling sound came from beside her.
She looked to the side in confusion. Nan Zhi had found a tree not far away. She looked it up and down and then sat on the ground.
“…”
How is she so self-aware?
She frowned. Nan Zhi hadn’t overstepped her boundaries, but she had a strange feeling that she couldn’t express.
Suddenly.
A drop of liquid fell on her cheek.
Yu Shu looked up, following the sound. It was a light drizzle.
“Whoosh…”
The wind howled, and a light blue spiritual energy came with it.
An invisible barrier blocked the slanted raindrops. The sound of dripping water entered her ears.
Yu Shu lowered her eyes, her fingertips subconsciously rubbing the edge of the bed.
Forget it.
She sighed, turned her back to Nan Zhi, and closed her eyes. But… the night wind howled, and the sound of the rain was faint.
She tossed and turned.
She turned over and quietly looked at Nan Zhi.
Nan Zhi was drooping her brows and yawning lazily.
Yu Shu couldn’t help but feel a surge of frustration. She glared at her angrily and then turned over and closed her eyes.
Nan Zhi, who had been glared at: …
What’s wrong with her now?
Sometimes good, sometimes bad, inexplicably.
Nan Zhi rolled her eyes and continued to look at the stars. The stars in the sky twinkled. She only looked for a little while before she became very sleepy.
She lightly patted her forehead to clear her mind.
After an unknown amount of time, a faint breathing sound came.
Nan Zhi stood up. After casting another protective shield, she took a step and walked in the opposite direction.
This was a place she had specifically looked for.
There was a deep pond in the valley, a deep green color, probably a hundred meters deep.
She transformed into her original form and plunged to the bottom of the pond. The bottom was soft mud, with a few fish floating on it.
She blinked and swam toward a large rock nearby. Then she closed her eyes and relaxed her body and mind.
Unfortunately, just as she was half-asleep, a small green snake came over and settled beside her.
Nan Zhi opened her eyes in alarm and scrutinized it for a long time.
It’s a small snake whose threat level can be ignored.
She closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
The rain tonight was getting heavier. The fish that were originally at the bottom of the pond leaped out of the water, and the seaweed at the bottom of the pond swayed because of it.
Nan Zhi, who was having a rare good night’s sleep, had a dream.
Because she had carelessly poked the tiger, the task of protecting the Young City Lord to the West Sea had fallen on her.
However, she failed to protect her. The precious jewel of Yulin City would from then on sleep forever in the depths of the West Sea. The City Lord would be furious and use the entire city’s power to attack the East Sea Dragon Clan.
That great battle would last for three months, day and night. The Dragon Clan would be defeated. All the dragons, including the ancestor who was sleeping at the bottom of the sea, would be dug out and sent to the Nine Provinces to mine from nine to five every day.
And she, the culprit, would be working day and night to contribute to the great mining enterprise.
It would be endless until one day. She would accidentally crack a piece of stubborn rock. The rock would shatter, and a mischievous-looking little tiger would leap out from it.
The little tiger would say—
She was a cultivator from the Upper Realm. She would ask Nan Zhi to gather a hundred spiritual mountains for her to return to the Upper Realm.
Nan Zhi: …
Crazy.
She would roll her eyes and silently walk away.
The little tiger would be relentless. It would run toward her on its short legs and say, still not giving up—
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have spiritual mountains. She came to overcome a love calamity. Once the love calamity is over, she can return to the Upper Realm. Now, she would demand that Nan Zhi immediately marry her.
Nan Zhi: …
Absolutely crazy.
She would roll her eyes and walk away again.
The little tiger would still be relentless. It would walk around her, constantly calling her name.
Nan Zhi, Nan Zhi…
So noisy.
It was so noisy that Nan Zhi’s breathing stopped. It was so noisy that Nan Zhi suddenly opened her eyes.
The deep green pond water, a faint light seeping in. The soft mud at the bottom of the pond made her want to stretch. There was also a small green snake next to her that looked very much like a piece of seaweed.
After realizing that it was a dream, Nan Zhi’s mood became strange. The strangeness was the matter of the precious jewel of Yulin City sleeping forever in the West Sea.
A sudden fear welled up in her.
She regretted agreeing to the trip to Parasol Tree Mountain. If something were to go wrong, her fate would be to mine day and night at the border of the Nine Provinces.
She had had enough of the indescribable feeling of Yu Shu falling into the water that day.
Nan Zhi couldn’t help but sigh. As she sighed, a surge of frustration welled up in her heart. She shook her body. After swimming back and forth at the bottom of the pond, she finally calmed down and leaped out of the water.
As she leaped out, a huge splash of water erupted. She forcibly held back the urge to let out a long dragon roar.
At this moment, a gritted voice came.
“Nan… Zhi.”
Nan Zhi hung in mid-air and looked down—
The Young City Lord, who was standing by the deep pond, was splashed all over. Her body was soaked, and water was dripping from her skirt, making her look very strange.
“…”
It’s over.
Nan Zhi, who had a good understanding of Yu Shu, immediately heard the three parts of annoyance, seven parts of anger, and a hundred percent of fury in her words.
She instantly landed and transformed back into a human. She went over with a smile on her face.
Drainage spell, purification spell, rejuvenation spell, she cast all three at the same time. She said sheepishly, “It’s my fault. The Young City Lord can punish me however you want, just don’t get so angry that you harm your body.”
Yu Shu looked at her with a sullen expression. One second, two seconds. Then she turned her head and huffed softly.
Nan Zhi couldn’t help but laugh.
See? The Young City Lord is just like this.
Sincere and timely apologies are essential. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so easy to pacify. She would just grab her neck and ask furiously, “Do you have to provoke me?”
Although they hadn’t been together for long, she knew her like the back of her hand.
A smile appeared in her eyes, but Nan Zhi suppressed it and changed the subject. “It rained heavily last night. Did the Young City Lord sleep well?”
Yu Shu slowly moved her gaze back and huffed softly again.
Nan Zhi was actually being honest now. She didn’t even try to sneak into her bed in the middle of the night to dual cultivate.
As expected, the highest level of love is restraining one’s desires.
She couldn’t help but curl her lips. “What about you?”
Nan Zhi: “I…”
“Plop…”
A splash of water erupted. Nan Zhi retracted her words and turned around in alarm.
It was the little snake from last night.
She didn’t pay much attention to it. Just as she was about to turn back and say something else to Yu Shu, an azure light flashed.
The little snake transformed into a human. She was a young girl with pigtails. She frowned, hugged Nan Zhi’s leg, and started to cry. She cried very pitifully, “Mommy, don’t leave—”
Nan Zhi: …
Yu Shu: …
Nan Zhi was completely confused, but Yu Shu was suddenly enlightened. Her eyes were on fire. She gritted her teeth and said, “Nan Zhi, what else do you have that I don’t know about?”
Her breaking off her engagement with Feng Zhiwei was something she didn’t know.
Creating a child with the same aura was also something she didn’t know.
This dragon is unfaithful.
Since you already have a child, why did you flirt with me before? And why did you kiss me yesterday?
“Explain yourself.”
“Explain what?” The corner of Nan Zhi’s mouth twitched. She mercilessly pulled the girl away, frowning and retorting, “Where did this little demon come from, calling me ‘Mommy’?”
The girl cried even harder, as if Nan Zhi was a bad person who had abandoned her wife and child.
Nan Zhi was speechless. Under Yu Shu’s gaze, she had to bite the bullet and pull the girl away, saying stiffly, “I am not your mother.”
At this moment, an ominous aura rushed at her…
Nan Zhi’s movements paused. She looked around in alarm.
A few flying leaves came like a hot knife through butter.
Nan Zhi’s pupils shrank. She pulled Yu Shu and took the girl with her as they dodged continuously.
Suddenly, a mournful voice resounded through the valley. “Let go of my child—”
My child?
Nan Zhi subconsciously looked at the girl. She was sniffing pitifully.
“…”
There’s no need to explain that I’m not a mother, because the girl’s mother is here.
But this girl… her mom is here, so why is she still clinging to my hand and crying?
In an instant, a cold wind howled in the valley, and the aura became more and more oppressive and terrifying.
Nan Zhi had to cast a shield and raise her hand to block.
The wind from the palm was unstoppable, coming very quickly. In the blink of an eye, a full-strength attack landed.
“Crack.”
The shield shattered. Nan Zhi pushed Yu Shu away and was hit so hard that she spat out bl00d. However, a ruthless attack started again. She was hit again, caught off guard, and was sent flying.
“Plop—”
“Nan Zhi!”
Yu Shu quickly cast a protective artifact.
The girl’s mother slowly walked over. Nan Zhi swallowed the bloody foam and conjured a Golden Cicada Escape Talisman, preparing to run.
“Nan… Zhi?” The voice was both confused and a little unbelievable.
Nan Zhi suddenly stopped. She raised her head with great effort, almost blacking out.
This ruthless-acting mother was her former sister-in-law—Su Yao.
Nan Zhi’s chest tightened. She gritted her teeth and said, “Sister-in-law, you are something else.”
Su Yao: …
The family is fighting among themselves.
She blinked, ignoring Nan Zhi’s condemnation, and countered with a question, “How did you get so weak?”
Nan Zhi was so angry that she coughed up a few mouthfuls of bl00d, so angry that her vision went black.
“Nan Zhi—”
Before she fainted, she saw Yu Shu’s anxious expression and her former sister-in-law Su Yao’s flickering eyes.
D*mn it.
