Wife is hell

Chapter 34 Did the Stone Kill Someone?

Jiang Mu dragged his tired body home.

Upon entering the courtyard, you'll see a chubby little figure squatting by the well, giving a big white goose a bath.

The little girl rolled up her sleeves high, her chubby, fair arms tightly gripping the goose's neck, while her other hand held a broken brush, which she dipped in soapberry water and scrubbed vigorously on the goose's feathers.

The big white goose was held tightly in her arms, looking utterly dejected.

"Are you bullying Big White again?"

Jiang Mu gave the little bottom a light kick.

"oops!"

Caught completely off guard, Shi Shuangsui fell to the ground with a "plop".

She angrily turned her head and said:

"What kind of monster are you! How dare you ambush this heroine? I haven't even used my 'Iron Butt Kung Fu' yet!"

"Heh, so you've even practiced the Iron Butt Kung Fu?"

Jiang Mu raised an eyebrow.

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Mu, the little girl's face immediately brightened, and she rushed over to hug Jiang Mu's leg, her wet little hands leaving several watermarks on the man's pants.

"Hey, boss, you're finally back."

She tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling.
"Boss, we haven't gone out to play for days. Take me out to play!"

Jiang Mu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that the little girl's face and bangs were covered in soap suds. He grabbed a towel and started wiping her face while asking, "..."
"Have you finished your homework? Have you finished copying the Thousand Character Classic?"

"Hmm... Dudu, I'm going to scoop up the bowl..."

The little guy's mouth was mostly covered by a towel, and his voice was muffled, with a slight nasal tone from being rubbed, "Big chicken...checked it..."

Jiang Mu removed the towel.

A cute little face, flushed and rosy from being wiped clean, was revealed.

Shi Shuangsui sniffed, a little smug: "My older sister said I write well, and I've improved a lot."

"Where's your brother?"

"He went to find the chick."

Still looking?

Jiang Mu was taken aback and couldn't help but admire Shi Baolu's stubbornness.

It seems they truly treat Ah Kun like their own child.

Shi Shuangsui stuck to Jiang Mu like a piece of chewing gum, hugging his leg and shaking it: "Boss, shall we go to West Street to see the acrobatics? I heard there's a fire-breathing one."

"not good."

"How about... we go to the river to catch some small fish? I know a place where there are lots of them under the rocks!"

"Don't go."

"Or... shall we go and knock some dates off Grandpa Zhang's house? I promise I'll climb fast this time and not get chased by his big yellow dog."

"I won't knock."

Jiang Mu shook his head and said, "I'm not going anywhere right now, I just want to sleep."

"Boss!"

The little girl loosened her thighs, put her hands on her hips, and puffed out her cheeks like a squirrel stuffed with nuts. "Why have you become like this! If you keep doing this, I won't be your concubine anymore!"

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Mu choked.

He stepped forward and vigorously rubbed the little girl's chubby cheeks, saying in an annoyed tone:

"Get out of here right now! What do you know about concubines and wives? You're just a kid who hasn't even grown any hair yet."

"Even the eldest sister doesn't have any hair."

"Well--"

Jiang Mu was so frightened that he quickly covered the girl's mouth.

He glanced at the neighbor's low wall, making sure Shi Yuhua hadn't heard, and said irritably:

"Don't talk nonsense in the future."

Shi Shuangsui, whose mouth was covered, blinked her big, watery eyes and protested in a muffled voice: "Beat up, you little brat!"

Jiang Mu felt ashamed.

This little brat is really asking for a beating; he knows quite a lot.

He picked up Shi Shuangsui and tossed her over the low wall back into the other yard like a small sack: "Go do your homework first, I'll take you to play tomorrow."

"Really? Then pinky promise." A chubby little arm stretched out from the other side of the low wall.

"Screw you, I'll definitely take you out to play tomorrow."

Jiang Mu waved his hand.

Upon entering the room, Jiang Mu took off his clothes, quickly washed himself, and then lay down wearily on the bed. He took out his senior sister's bell and began to examine it carefully.

The Primordial Bell of the Eastern Emperor seems to possess five mysterious effects, namely—

Sonic attack, Thunderclap Sword, Shifting the Universe, Tracing the Heavenly Secrets, and Concealing the Soul.

The Thunderclap Sword is a technique for controlling flying swords.

Shaking the bell summons a flying sword imbued with the power of thunder, capable of slaying enemies invisibly.

It just needs long-term nurturing.

The bell is now completely empty, devoid of even a trace of sword energy. We must find a way to cultivate it anew.

"Hidden Soul" and "Heavenly Secrets Tracing Shadows" involve more profound and complex secret techniques and hand seals, which Jiang Mu still needs to explore and study slowly.

Right now, he can only use sound waves and the Qiankun Shift technique.

Unfortunately, this magical artifact has been tainted by a mysterious aura, and this world lacks spiritual energy similar to that of the Xuanming World, so it is obviously impossible for it to unleash its full power.

For example, the art of shifting the universe.

Placed in the Xuanming world, it can briefly manipulate the spatial laws of the surrounding area.

Within a hundred feet of divine thought, one can manifest oneself with a mere thought.

But now, he can only teleport within three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

"If my senior sister knew how awkwardly I was using her natal magic weapon, she'd probably stand there with her hands on her hips and laugh at me for being a clumsy dog..."

Jiang Mu thought helplessly.

But then again, even a range of three zhang is an extremely exaggerated existence in this world.

It also has the ability to pass through walls, which is probably unique.

Moreover, as long as he can find a suitable cultivation method in the future and re-introduce spiritual energy into his body, he can gradually restore the power of the bell.

"With Senior Sister's Eastern Emperor Primordial Bell, plus the Golden Light Amulet, one for offense, one for defense, plus evasion... Hmm, it's simply too perfect, invincible."

Jiang Mu was happily calculating, then brought the bell to his nose and sniffed it hard.

It's a pity I can't smell my senior's scent.

I don't know what my senior sister and wife look like. Why can't I remember what they look like?

Jiang Mu gazed at the beam, his thoughts drifting uncontrollably, sinking into familiar mutterings:

What calamity has occurred in the Xuanming World?

"What exactly has corrupted these magical artifacts? Why are they all so strange?"

"Wife, are you really dead?"

"Senior sister, did I really not try hard enough before?"

"..."

Jiang Mu stared at the silent bell in his palm, a feeling of depression and loneliness washing over him.

Just as he was about to put aside his troubles for a while and get some sleep to recharge, there was a sudden banging on the door.

"Boss, something terrible has happened!"

It was the sound of Shishuang Sui.

Jiang Mu was startled.

This brat is really asking for a beating, he's never going to stop!
Jiang Mu angrily opened the door, only to see Shi Shuangsui's small face filled with panic, her hands flailing wildly, almost crying out, "Brother... Brother... He killed someone!"

Jiang Mu was speechless.

This little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?

He picked the other person up, ready to give their little bottom a good kick, but then he saw Shi Yuyu running over in a hurry.

The woman's beautiful face was deathly pale, devoid of any color. Her eyes, which were usually filled with gentleness and tranquility, were now filled with panic and helplessness.

Jiang Mu's heart skipped a beat: "Sister Yuru, what's wrong?"

Shi Yuhua was panting heavily, her chest heaving violently.

She frantically gestured with her hands in sign language, her movements somewhat distorted due to her panic:
"News just came from the government office that Bao Lu has killed someone and has been arrested and imprisoned."

Jiang Mu was stunned.

Didn't that simpleton go looking for little chick Ah Kun?
How did he become a murderer in the blink of an eye?!
