Mistaking My Wife for a Spirit Pet - Chapter 33
Chapter 33
Shen Mian and Feng Zhiwei both lost. The first place in the Immortal Sect Grand Meeting was as easy as picking something from a pouch for her, but—
“It’s very difficult.”
At this, Yu Shu began to think seriously.
She wanted to say.
The magical artifact has already been refined. First place is not important. But after seeing Nan Zhi’s upturned lips, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She said expressionlessly, “Nan Zhi, are you trying to provoke me?”
Nan Zhi couldn’t help but laugh. She pressed her lips together. “The magical artifact that the Young City Lord refined for Yu Siqi is so powerful. It’s as difficult as ascending to heaven to win first place. How can I be intentionally provoking you?”
Yu Shu let out a cold snort and lifted her chin. “Now, no matter if you win or lose, the magical artifact is gone.”
“Young City Lord.”
“Speaking of magical artifacts, I just thought of something.”
“What?” The cat was immediately confused and had completely forgotten that Nan Zhi had provoked her.
Nan Zhi’s eyebrows rose. She took out her storage bag and handed it over. “Spiritual stones.”
Yu Shu hadn’t expected this. “Why are you giving me spiritual stones?”
“Do you remember the birdcage that the Young City Lord refined two days ago?”
Yu Shu was deep in thought.
Yes, there was such a thing. She refined a cage for Nan Zhi’s junior sister, the bird, because she couldn’t stand the little bird living in Nan Zhi’s sleeve.
“So, the spiritual stones you earned should all belong to the Young City Lord.”
“…”
She didn’t want it at first, but since Nan Zhi said so…
Yu Shu’s chin lifted slightly. She immediately took the storage bag and slowly put it into her pocket. After a soft snort, she said, “If you lose, I’ll still give you the magical artifact.”
“Pfft.”
An untimely laugh rang out.
Nan Zhi’s body stiffened for a moment. She and Yu Shu looked at the source of the sound. It was her overbearing idiot friend, Ning Wan.
What are you laughing at?
If you dare to laugh at the Young City Lord, you’re finished.
Nan Zhi immediately grabbed Yu Shu’s sleeve and gently tugged on it.
Yu Shu’s attention was diverted. She looked at her sideways, her eyes confused.
Nan Zhi looked at the stage. The controller elder was about to speak. It was probably her turn to fight against Yu Siqi. She let go of Yu Shu’s sleeve and said softly, “There’s a beautiful jade in the first place prize. If you polish it, you can make a pair of beautiful earrings.”
Yu Shu was confused. “Didn’t you say it was very difficult?”
Nan Zhi didn’t confirm or deny.
Actually, it wasn’t difficult. It was as easy as picking something from a pouch.
She looked around. Her idiot friend was still watching them. She moved closer to Yu Shu and, on a whim, said, “If the Young City Lord wants it, I’ll work hard for it.”
It truly was on a whim.
Even Nan Zhi couldn’t understand the words that had just come out of her mouth. She was just a little expectant, expectant of Yu Shu’s reaction.
“I want it.” Yu Shu didn’t hesitate at all and replied softly.
Nan Zhi smiled. She couldn’t help but curl her lips.
The peaceful atmosphere didn’t last for too long. The controller elder called out Yu Siqi and Nan Zhi. Everyone’s gaze also fell on them.
The two of them slowly walked onto the stage. The sound of the gong rang out.
Nan Zhi raised her eyebrows.
Working hard means—
She quietly waited for Yu Siqi to use her sky-filled flying swords.
She elegantly dismantled every move of the net of heaven and earth. Then she waited for Yu Siqi to bring out her beautiful and dangerous sword moves.
The gasps from the audience below the stage were louder and louder.
“Is Yu Siqi’s strength this terrifying?”
“Is the Spirit Sword Sect… about to rise?”
“Tsk, what’s the use of the East Sea making such a big deal? Didn’t they not get first place this time?”
The sky was filled with flying swords, as if a storm had arrived. The sound of her defeat was also overwhelming.
Nan Zhi’s attention was diverted. She looked sideways—the Young City Lord’s face was filled with worry.
“Whoosh whoosh—”
The frost sword cut through her fluttering azure hair. They had already fought dozens of rounds.
Nan Zhi continued to watch. Only after Yu Siqi had used every move of the Spirit Sword Sect did she use her full power.
She formed a seal with her fingers. She lowered her brows and chanted, “Fall into the trap.”
Hundreds of flying swords “clanged” and fell to the ground. Yu Siqi, who had lost her flashy killing moves, was stunned. After only a second, she quickly held her sword and approached.
A golden light appeared. A protective barrier spread out in front of Nan Zhi.
Yu Siqi’s movements paused. She asked hesitantly, “Have you been toying with me this whole time?”
“How could I?” Nan Zhi suddenly asked, “Why haven’t I seen you use your lifesword skill?”
Yu Siqi’s movements slowed down. “You want to see it?”
Nan Zhi smiled knowingly and nodded.
Yu Siqi was very considerate and used an even more gorgeous sword skill. For a moment, everyone was shocked and watched the sword cultivator suspended in midair with rapt attention.
“…This is too much.”
“It seems the champion will be taken by the Spirit Sword Sect.”
Nan Zhi focused all her attention on casting a spell—a grand and beautiful protective shield. As Yu Siqi’s sword moves fell, it shattered into colorful, flying peach blossoms.
“This…”
“Can you even fight like this?”
Next, it was a sharp exchange of blows. In the eyes of others, the sword energy that could destroy the world was only used with six layers of power by Nan Zhi to neutralize.
As a result, Yu Siqi was unwilling to feed Nan Zhi any more moves. Just as everyone thought Yu Siqi was going to get impatient and quickly end the fight, she immediately put away her sword.
“I’m not fighting!”
“I admit defeat!”
As soon as her words fell,
“She’s admitting defeat already?”
“The Spirit Sword Sect and the Celestial Brush Sect aren’t even pretending anymore! They’re letting her win so obviously!”
Yu Siqi: …
A few decades ago, Yu Siqi was also a hot-tempered sword cultivator, and she still was now. She furiously put her sword into its sheath and threw it forward.
The silver scabbard flew gorgeously below the stage and landed between the legs of the person who was shouting. Her eyes were sharp. “You’re a little man. If you can do it, you do it.”
The person in question’s legs trembled, but a man like a proud eagle would never admit defeat with his mouth. He immediately straightened his back, full of righteousness. “I’ll do it if I want to.”
A formation cultivator? That’s hilarious. They’re not even pretending. Letting her win so obviously is a disgrace to the three great sects.
He stomped his feet and glared at Nan Zhi.
He only saw—
The azure-robed cultivator on the stage suddenly smiled and slowly beckoned to him with her finger.
Seduction?
Even so, he would never let her win!
He let out a heavy snort. “We, the Mount Penglai, have been reclusive for thousands of years. I never expected that the outside world’s cultivator fights would be so childish. If you want to seduce me to let you win, it’s impossible!”
“Whoa—”
The crowd was in an uproar and all looked at him.
It’s a bumpkin from Mount Penglai!
Under everyone’s gaze, he felt honored. He lifted his chin. “Today, let me show everyone our Mount Penglai’s unique skill.” After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Nan Zhi. “Do you dare to fight?”
“Do you really want to fight?”
The Mount Penglai cultivator nodded.
Nan Zhi smiled slightly. She flipped her palm over and her fingertips gently tapped.
“Hmm…”
A silent pressure came with the wind. The Mount Penglai cultivator clutched his chest. He looked at the woman with a sweet smile on the stage in disbelief. His lips opened and closed. “We, the Mount Penglai, are not the kind of people who bully women. This time, I… I’ll let you off.”
Nan Zhi: …
The others: …
As expected of a bumpkin from Mount Penglai. They thought he would say something else.
Just as his obviously lacking words came out of his mouth, they saw the bumpkin from Mount Penglai leave in a sorry state. A slender azure figure also bumped into him.
The Mount Penglai cultivator was clearly enraged. Seeing that she was a gentle and kind woman, his expression changed. “Did I hurt you when I bumped into you?”
The azure-robed woman glanced at him indifferently and leisurely left.
The Mount Penglai cultivator: …
They’ve only been reclusive for a thousand years, and the people outside are already this impolite?
He let out a heavy snort and climbed up from the ground. He secretly decided in his heart that the cultivators of the Nine Provinces were a mixed bunch, unlike the unique and independent Mount Penglai. He would definitely extinguish his junior brothers’ thoughts of coming out after this trip.
However, the joys and sorrows of the human world are not connected.
After he left, the others began to talk—
“What’s that yellow stuff on him?”
“The yellow stuff… looks like a Misfortune Talisman? Hahaha, the bumpkin from Mount Penglai is going to have bad luck~”
“Plop.”
Not far away, the Mount Penglai cultivator, who had a Misfortune Talisman on him, was struggling in the water.
As the instigator, Yu Shu smiled knowingly. She calmly withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the stage.
Nan Zhi was still on the stage, waiting for Chi Xi to come on.
However—
Even when her sect leader mother was pulling her ear, Chi Xi was unwilling to come on. She used all her strength to resist.
Are you kidding? Yu Siqi was so beaten up that she was furious. Wouldn’t she be humiliating herself if she went on stage? She thought getting into the top five was already good enough. Who would have thought that she would be in second place now?
She wasn’t greedy. Second place was already very good.
“I really can’t beat her. Please, Mom~”
The Hehuan Sect sect leader frowned. She threw her. Chi Xi was thrown onto the stage like a rag doll and rolled to Nan Zhi’s feet.
It was very embarrassing. She covered her face and was silent for a while before slowly looking up. The azure-robed cultivator waved at her and smiled:
“Don’t sleep, Chi Xi.”
“I remember you have a Fairy Scattering Flowers move that’s very beautiful. Can you use it for me to see?”
Chi Xi: …
She slowly climbed up and asked in confusion, “Is it really beautiful?”
Nan Zhi nodded and continued, “If you use all those beautiful and powerful moves, how can you not attract Yu Siqi?”
Chi Xi’s expression froze. “You’re not lying to me?”
Nan Zhi said seriously, “Who wouldn’t like a beautiful and powerful Dao companion?”
“I want to fight—”
Chi Xi was full of vigor, like a peacock.
The gong sounded. The top talents of the Celestial Brush Sect and the Hehuan Sect faced each other. This generation of Hehuan Sect disciples was truly tyrannical. They could be said to be off the charts, with various spells that others had never seen before appearing frequently.
They were gorgeous, beautiful, and dangerous.
It was like fireworks rising into the air. Before they exploded, they were beautiful. All kinds of colorful spiritual energy flowed around in the protective barrier of the arena.
Everyone backed away in fear, afraid that the barrier wouldn’t hold and would explode. The controller elder cast another layer of spiritual energy, and only then did they feel relieved enough to continue watching.
Chi Xi moved, flashing in front of Nan Zhi. No one knew what her lips were saying.
“Is that enough?”
“Will she like these?”
Nan Zhi nodded. She said seriously, “Everyone likes a powerful and beautiful Dao companion, especially Yu Siqi?”
Chi Xi nodded in agreement. She lowered her voice. “Thank you.”
Nan Zhi smiled knowingly and began to guide Chi Xi to receive and neutralize her moves.
For a moment, the stage was in a raging battle, and the cheers below the stage were louder and louder. Nan Zhi couldn’t help but glance sideways—
The Young City Lord looked very worried.
She subconsciously pursed her lips. She thought that acting too much might not be a good idea.
“Yay! The Celestial Brush Sect is going to lose—”
An untimely voice rang out. Nan Zhi looked away.
Li Qiu had a schadenfreude expression, and then…
“Thump!”
She was hit on the head by Feng Zhiwei. She clutched her head in pain and glared angrily at Nan Zhi.
Nan Zhi: …
Stupid cat, a very annoying stupid cat.
The frustration in her heart grew even more because of the stupid cat. Nan Zhi immediately grabbed Chi Xi’s shoulder to finish the fight quickly.
“Nan Zhi?”
“That’s enough. It’s over.”
The gasps from below the stage came to a sudden halt. Everyone was stunned.
That fast?
They thought Chi Xi would use some kind of killing move, but she just lost like that?
“Clang.”
The gong sounded. The winner was the azure-robed cultivator. Everyone was confused. They only saw the winner fly off the stage and go to meet someone.
Two azure figures.
One was Nan Zhi of the East Sea, and the other was Yu Shu of Yulin City. They looked at each other, their eyes serene.
First, Nan Zhi walked up. With a smile in her eyes, she held the winner’s prize—a box containing a mustard seed space.
“The box has a lot of things inside. Which ones do you like, Young City Lord?”
Yu Shu wasn’t interested. She grabbed Nan Zhi’s hand and frowned. “Let’s go back and get a medical cultivator.”
A medical cultivator?
Nan Zhi lowered her eyes.
Her sleeve had been cut by the sword energy. The white inner shirt underneath was stained with some red bl00d, which was a little jarring.
When did this happen?
“No need. It’s a small wound.”
“A small wound?”
The Young City Lord’s expression was obviously unhappy. Nan Zhi silently held her hand and walked out of the crowd. As the crowd dispersed, she said softly, “It’s a small wound.”
Yu Shu was still a little unhappy and said sullenly, “Are her magical artifacts that powerful?”
Nan Zhi raised her eyebrows.
She suddenly thought of something. She asked nonchalantly, “Young City Lord, do you think… I’m too bad?”
Yu Shu’s eyes couldn’t help but widen.
Of course not!
“No!” She explained anxiously. “If I had known that she could use her lifesword like that to hurt you, I would have refined a protective magical artifact for you a long time ago.”
Nan Zhi was a little surprised, surprised by Yu Shu’s words.
Is she an idiot with too much money?
No.
She now felt that this little tiger was very good—
Very, very good.
