The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Su Jingzhen was in high spirits and walked out of the kitchen.

At this time, he discovered that Shuang Jiang was already standing under the peach blossom tree earlier than him.

She closed her eyes, with her hands behind her back.

She was still wearing the same black cultivation attire, as if she was meditating.

However, standing meditation was something that puzzled Su Jingzhen.

He didn’t disturb her and stood at the kitchen door, starting his morning practice.

He began to practice the movements of “Python Scales Power”.

The saying “A day’s plan starts in the morning” was extremely suitable for him.

Moreover, he had already adjusted his mindset, knowing that he couldn’t rely on luck all the time.

For example, as long as he practiced diligently, he could push “Python Scales Power” to a higher level.

Just as Su Jingzhen started, Shuang Jiang opened her eyes.

She gave a slight, almost imperceptible nod.

During her time in Linjiang City, Shuang Jiang had observed many low-ranking cultivators like Su Jingzhen.

At least Su Jingzhen’s performance was indeed different from others.

“A hidden dragon will eventually emerge.”

As she murmured to herself, a line of small characters flashed before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

【Emotional Connection+6】

【Remaining usable points: 47】

Indeed, just as he had imagined, whenever the Emotional Connection points were triggered, it would directly add six points!

Su Jingzhen’s heart was excited, and he almost messed up the movements he was practicing.

After completing a full practice, Su Jingzhen stood up.

Every time he practiced “Python Scales Power”, he could feel his physical strength increasing.

However, on the Body Cultivation panel, he was still only at the third layer of Flesh Body Mysterious Embryo.

But he wasn’t anxious, as cultivating was a gradual process, whether it was Body Cultivation or Qi Cultivation.

“You may have a natural affinity for Body Cultivation and have opened a secret repository, but if you only practice the movements like this, your progress in Body Cultivation will still be very slow.”

Su Jingzhen was feeling complacent when Shuang Jiang’s voice suddenly sounded.

He looked over, and before he could ask a question, Shuang Jiang continued, “You can refine Qi-replenishing pills at an extremely high success rate.”

Among the top alchemists, he could be considered a master.

In terms of acquiring basic resources, as long as he worked hard, it shouldn’t be a problem.

“Python Scales Power” could also be paired with some special items as aids.

At least in the early stages of Body Cultivation, he could artificially accelerate his cultivation speed.

After recognizing Su Jingzhen’s potential, Shuang Jiang was willing to guide him on some minor details.

It might not be of great use, but at least it could help him avoid some detours.

“This… Miss Shuang Jiang, could you elaborate?”

Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat; his current priority was to increase his strength and ensure his safety.

The world was becoming increasingly unstable, and his current power was insufficient to guarantee his safety.

Before awakening to his Golden Finger, his circumstances were indeed pitiful, and he might have been content with a peaceful life. But now that he had this condition, he naturally wanted to strive for the Great Dao of Longevity.

“Let’s go out for a stroll,” Shuang Jiang said, looking at him.

Since she now had a suitable identity, Shuang Jiang wasn’t afraid of being seen by anyone.

However, upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s expression froze.

Shuang Jiang had always been cold and distant in his eyes, and this sudden invitation made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

“What, are you afraid of being seen with me because of my ugly face?”

Shuang Jiang’s lips curled up into a cold smile, which still didn’t look good.

“No, no, Miss Shuang Jiang, I didn’t mean that.”

“I’m grateful for the opportunity.”

This was the honest truth.

When he went out alone, he had to be extremely cautious, but if Shuang Jiang was by his side, his safety would undoubtedly increase.

As for her appearance, Shuang Jiang’s scars made her look unattractive, but Su Jingzhen knew that her original face was extremely beautiful.

For someone like Shuang Jiang, restoring her original appearance would be a simple matter once her strength recovered.

And most importantly, Shuang Jiang wasn’t his Dao Companion.

So, whether she looked good or not had nothing to do with him.

Shuang Jiang didn’t say anything more.

She followed Su Jingzhen, keeping a distance of one step behind.

In the cultivation world, if a woman relied on a man for safety, she wouldn’t be qualified to stand alongside him.

At this time, Shuang Jiang’s image was precisely this.

Since she had already put on a facade, she had to maintain it without any flaws.

“Mr. Su, it’s rare to see you out and about today.”

“Ha ha, I heard that Mr. Su had taken a wife, and I didn’t believe it at first, but it’s true, isn’t it?”

“……”

As they walked out of the Enlightenment School, they encountered many pedestrians.

These people, at least on the surface, were all friendly with Su Jingzhen, and he greeted them one by one.

However, as they walked out of Peach Blossom Alley, the people who had been greeting him earlier were now whispering behind his back.

“I thought Su Jingzhen was just Zhang Xiu’s plaything, but it turns out he’s actually married.”

“Ha ha, he’s really brave to marry such an ugly woman. I’m not afraid of being scared out of my wits when I see her at night.”

“Hei hei, you’re saying it’s nighttime, but it’s all the same with the lights off, right?”

“But this guy would rather marry such an ugly woman than be with Zhang Xiu. It’s really strange, isn’t it?”

“Ugly or not, I heard Su Jingzhen’s Dao Companion has spiritual roots, too. If we’re talking about the next generation, our wives might not be able to compare.”

“…….”

The crowd jeered and commented, and then dispersed.

After all, they didn’t have any grudges against Su Jingzhen, and gossiping behind his back was just a casual matter.

For a low-ranking male cultivator, gossiping was just a trivial matter, and it was all just a few trifling things.

At this time, Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang had already walked onto the main street.

Here, Su Jingzhen deliberately took a step back and chose to walk alongside Shuang Jiang.

Shuang Jiang frowned slightly: “What are you doing? This is not in line with etiquette, and it will only make people look down on you.”

As far as Shuang Jiang was concerned, she was just playing a role, and she didn’t want to give Su Jingzhen a bad reputation because of her.

She was clear that she was only temporarily staying in Linjiang City.

She didn’t know if it was because of her Emotional Connection with Su Jingzhen, which had increased by a level.

She was subconsciously considering some things for Su Jingzhen.

Su Jingzhen smiled and said, “It’s precisely because I want to have a sense of reality, so you can’t fall behind me. In my eyes, a Dao Companion is like a family, and there’s no distinction between high and low in a family.”

This was the honest truth from Su Jingzhen’s heart.

Moreover, in front of Shuang Jiang, he had always had a sense of reverence in his heart and didn’t dare to look down on her.

“Family…”

This word, however, caused some ripples in Shuang Jiang’s heart.
