Chapter 317: 317: Under the Influence of Bad Luck
However, someone like Mu Qiuniang, with such high cultivation, can easily break through it.
So, when Jiang Nuo approached her at the time, she casually broke it.
Jiang Nuo laughed and said, "No wonder my wife usually loves doing good deeds so much. Aren’t you putting all the positive karma on me?"
Don’t ask why; he just had this vague feeling.
"Yes!" Mu Qiuniang nodded.
Since she joined her master, she’s been doing good deeds, and being someone favored by the Heavenly Dao, her Qi Fortune is naturally not bad after accumulating for hundreds of years.
So, after she came together with him and transferred all her blessings to him, there was nothing wrong with that.
"Wife, you really love me the most!" Jiang Nuo was deeply moved. How many things did his wife do for him behind his back?
Although he often felt like he knew almost everything, every time there were still surprises. The things his wife did for him were countless.
He embraced Mu Qiuniang, completely casting aside the wild thoughts about how his wife was killing people.
Who cares how those people died? The wife is the most important!
Of course, it might also be because this time he didn’t witness her killing personally, so there wasn’t the same impact as before, making self-deception easier.
After returning, Jiang Nuo remembered something: "Wife, except for the wedding ring, everything on me was taken by them. What should I do?"
Apparently, his wife had already killed all of them, so what about those things...
Mu Qiuniang blinked: "Gong Leitian will send someone to wrap things up; I’ll ask him then."
"Can we get those things back?"
"As long as your wedding ring isn’t lost, the others aren’t very important anyway. Consider it a fee for Gong and his team."
Although Jiang Nuo wasn’t quite sure of the value of those things in the Cultivation World, he knew they weren’t cheap after seeing how a bundle of advanced Talisman Papers made Lao Jiu, Xiao Ning, and others envious to death.
He could only say, "Wife, you’re so generous!"
"We’re all on the same side, after all, so things shouldn’t benefit outsiders." Moreover, since Gong Leitian lost quite a bit on this mission, his things could perfectly make up for that.
Of course, they need to settle separately the fact that Gong Leitian misplaced Jiang Nuo’s things.
Mu Qiuniang narrowed her eyes dangerously.
After tidying up the old factory, Gong Leitian received a call from Mu Qiuniang, telling him she had brought Jiang Nuo back and giving him an address to "clean up."
"Oh! I forgot to tell you, your Grandmaster lost quite a few things there. If you can find them, they’re yours. If you can’t... no supplies next month!"
With that, Mu Qiuniang hung up.
Gong Leitian was dumbfounded: Did the Great Master mean that next month’s supplies depended on recovering those lost items?!
Wait, what exactly did the Grandmaster lose? Can she provide a list?
Gong Leitian hurriedly called his most capable helpers to prepare a carpet search of the damned cave: "They say there’s a bunch of treasures hidden in the cave. If you find them, we’ll have next month’s supplies. If not, we’ll all catch the wind!"
The minister’s temper was too big, and the subordinates who received the call were baffled. Since when did the monthly supplies tie into this treasure hunt?
But the minister gave the order, so all they could do was work!
Meanwhile, Jiang Nuo cautiously glanced at Mu Qiuniang and said, "Wife, it’s actually not Xiao Gong’s fault; he was quite responsible. He just didn’t anticipate a hole in the ground I would pass out from, giving others a chance..."
Recalling how he was captured, Jiang Nuo felt embarrassed. He had prepared so much Talisman Paper and even brought out the Defensive Array, yet a simple hole took him out.
Boo hoo hoo hoo... Actually, he’s quite formidable. Why didn’t he have any opportunity to use his skills?
"I’m not blaming him."
"Then who is my wife upset with?"
Mu Qiuniang stared at him without saying a word.
"No way?! Wife, I just came back safe, and you’re mad at me?!" Jiang Nuo exaggeratedly terrified, "Wife, don’t! I’ll be careful in the future. I definitely won’t let this happen again... Wife, you know I really practice hard, and you’ve supported me a lot; I’m already at the Foundation Establishment. Normally, no one is my match!"
"Yet anyone can take you down with a hole."
Mu Qiuniang’s words floored him. Jiang Nuo, with a sad face: "Wife, can we not bring that up?"
"This incident highlights your lack of practical combat experience; your reactions are too slow, and anyone can deal with you."
"It can’t be that bad..." Jiang Nuo wanted to defend himself, "Actually, I still had a chance to save the day!"
"Once Xiao Gong comes back, have him arrange special training for you."
She couldn’t harden her heart against him, so she left it to someone else, which was better than always being like this. Although the opponent was merely a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a Spirit Sword, he had the ability to fight back but got tricked before it even started.
"Phew... That scared me. Wife, I thought you wanted to whoop me!" Just like she does with those two disciples of hers with a whip.
Once, Jiang Nuo tried to find Mu Qiuniang but accidentally saw her using a whip to discipline Zhan Jingshu and Murong.
She was expressionless, whipping them like sandbags, quite a pity; especially when he saw Zhan Jingshu and Murong screaming in pain, jumping and running, completely unable to evade a whip.
At that moment, Jiang Nuo’s heart "froze" instantly: Thank goodness he wasn’t her disciple; otherwise, he’d be the one getting whipped!
Because, like them, he hadn’t memorized that ancient text "The Book of Changes." He didn’t understand why he, a cultivator, needed to memorize it.
But in the end, seeing her "iron-blood policy," there was no need for her to speak up, and Jiang Nuo obediently memorized it. Although she wouldn’t discipline him like a disciple, if he couldn’t at least keep up with them, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for her?
Being a good husband, he absolutely had to stand up for his wife!
Mu Qiuniang looked puzzled: "Why would I hit you?"
"Aren’t you mad at me?"
Mu Qiuniang was speechless: "You’re my husband, not my disciple." If it were her disciple, she wouldn’t forgive such incompetence.
Her master used to discipline the brothers who caused trouble but couldn’t handle it.
Unfortunately, she could adopt the master’s methods of "educating" disciples, but, being a man with no wife, she had nowhere to learn how to "educate" her silly husband.
Since there’s no way out, she might as well leave him to someone trustworthy to handle. After all, Gong Leitian is capable of helping both the nation and the master; helping one more wouldn’t be a problem.
