Chapter 864: Chapter 422: Searching for Husband

The three of them found an inn, had a quick meal, and immediately set off on their journey to the Capital City.

Before leaving, Jiang Shouzhong went to the market deliberately and carefully selected a few women’s garments.

In case Little Jiang Yi suddenly transformed, he wouldn’t be caught in an awkward situation.

Unexpectedly, while buying the clothes, Jiang Shouzhong discovered that this seemingly insignificant shop was selling silk stockings imported from Loulan.

Remembering Jiang Yi’s unique taste in attire, Jiang Shouzhong hesitated for a moment but ended up buying a few extra pairs.

Jiang Wan watched this scene, raised an elegant eyebrow, with a look of bizarre amusement in her eyes, looking at Jiang Shouzhong with undisguised disdain.

Noticing her gaze, Jiang Shouzhong felt uncomfortable all over and quickly explained, "It’s your sister’s preference, I don’t have any other thoughts."

"Oh? You really don’t like seeing it?"

Jiang Wan tilted her head slightly, her gaze like a sharp hook, staring directly at Jiang Shouzhong with a half-smile.

Jiang Shouzhong felt uneasy under her gaze, averted his eyes, and mumbled, "If it’s my wife wearing it, of course, I’d like to see it."

"Hmph, men indeed."

Jiang Wan sighed helplessly.

She didn’t mention anything about Ye Zhuchan on the cliff to Jiang Shouzhong.

Since the other party didn’t want to see Brother Jiang, she didn’t want to meddle in such romantic affairs.

But at this moment, her thoughts involuntarily drifted towards Jiang Yi.

With Little Jiang Yi clinging to Jiang Shouzhong like this now, if she returns to normal in the future, will she develop feelings for Jiang Shouzhong due to this attachment?

If so, wouldn’t Little Yi and Qingchen end up in the awkward situation of competing for the same man?

Just the thought of such a scene made Jiang Wan’s head ache immensely.

The woman extended her slender fingers to rub her temple, secretly resolving:

"This man’s luck with women is excessively prosperous, it’s nothing but trouble. It might be better to kill him once the business is done, to have some peace."

Perhaps sensing Jiang Wan’s murderous intent, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly felt a chill down his neck, subconsciously shrinking his shoulders, and muttered in his mind, "This woman has deep thoughts, best not to provoke her."

During their journey, Jiang Shouzhong recalled Jiang Wan mentioning taking Qingchen to the Li Family, and his mind conjured up the challenging situation Li Nanshuang was facing.

After hesitating, Jiang Shouzhong decided to relay Li Nanshuang’s situation in full detail.

After listening, Jiang Wan softly spoke:

"The girl from the Li Family was born with a rare stone woman physique. This physique is extremely rare, and once she reaches a certain age or her cultivation surpasses a limit, her body will gradually petrify, ultimately turning into a true stone person.

I remember once, when that girl suddenly fell ill, the situation was extremely critical, she was practically knocking on death’s door, barely alive.

I felt sympathy for that girl and couldn’t bear it, so I thought of using Qingchen’s Shura Qi to treat her. But the result was not ideal.

Although I barely pulled that girl back from the brink of death, helping her through that crisis, Qingchen suffered a calamity because of it, fell seriously ill, and his body was affected, tainted by that Stone Qi."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly recalled Old Madam Ran mentioning this incident.

Both Qingchen and Li Nanshuang had fallen seriously ill, recovering at the same time.

So that’s what happened.

Jiang Shouzhong realized with a start.

"Will the Stone Qi affect Qingchen?" Jiang Shouzhong asked curiously.

"Not much of a problem..."

Jiang Wan just uttered these words when she suddenly paused, fixing a mischievous and peculiar gaze on Jiang Shouzhong.

Jiang Shouzhong, feeling creepy under the gaze, asked, "What’s up?"

Jiang Wan smiled brightly: "According to ancient texts, a born stone woman can be quite a challenge for a man in marital intimacy.

Qingchen, having been tainted with some Stone Qi, will naturally experience certain unique changes in his body, and by then... you might suffer setbacks."

Suffer setbacks?

Does that mean... encountering obstacles?

Jiang Shouzhong cleared his throat and said, "You don’t need to worry about that, I’m up to the task."

No diamond cutter, no porcelain work.

Even if she’s a stone woman, even if Wolverine’s sister comes, there’ll still be blood to see.

Jiang Shouzhong had confidence in himself.

Perhaps realizing that discussing such a topic with Jiang Shouzhong was rather inappropriate, Jiang Wan changed the subject:

"If you want to help the girl from the Li Family, Li Nanshuang, stand again, it’s not difficult. If you cultivate the Yin Yang Sect’s Yin Yang Divine Thistle Register, you can treat her with the most basic Dual Cultivation Skill."

Yin Yang Divine Thistle Register?

Jiang Shouzhong’s mind was stirred, and he pulled a book from his chest: "This one?"

Back when he was investigating a case in the Capital, he helped Zhang Que’er kill her foe and a woman from the Yin Yang Sect named Qing, and this secret manual was obtained from her.

Jiang Wan was full of surprise: "You have this too?"

Jiang Shouzhong laughed, "Acquired by accident, but the Yin Yang Divine Thistle Register consists of four volumes, and this is just the second volume. Plus, I really can’t make sense of the text written on it.

Moreover, the Heaven Master Chou who created this Cultivation Technique, I had already killed. The first volume is in the hands of Luo Mingtang, who is the Empress’s father, and it seems he has comprehended something."

Jiang Wan was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"Jiang Shouzhong, you need to be cautious in the future, everything in excess reverses its course. With such abundant good fortune now, if you suffer backlash in the end, you might truly risk your life."
