The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 410: First Murder (Second Update, Thanks to

"Of course, to kill you, what else do you think I’m doing?" The middle-aged man sneered, "How old are you exactly? Do you think everyone in the world is good, and as long as you don’t kill others, they won’t kill you? Do you even know what you are holding? It’s a divine artifact that everyone in the Human Cultivation World wants. Whoever obtains it will be like a tiger with wings, and no one will dare to underestimate you ever again!""You killed someone just for a dead object?!" Jiang Nuo couldn’t believe it.

"Didn’t you just call me hypocritical and think I was eyeing your divine artifact? What, you forgot what you just said?"

Jiang Nuo felt a knot in his heart: "I thought we were friends." He had just been sparring with him, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into an assassin?

"How ridiculous you are? I was originally here to kill you. Seeing the divine artifact in your hand, I naturally wanted to claim it for myself. How could you think we were friends? How have you lived so straight for so long? Hahaha... But none of that matters. The important thing is once you’re dead, your divine artifact will be mine! Also, I can collect the reward from my sect with your head. Do you know how valuable your head is? A head can be exchanged for a mid-grade Spiritual Artifact. Tsk tsk... Hard to believe, a mere Loose Cultivator can be so regarded by the Yun Sect Leader!" The middle-aged man spoke, then suddenly realized, narrowed his eyes slightly, "Wait, is your head worth such a high reward just for this divine artifact?"

He looked suspiciously at the Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword in Jiang Nuo’s hand.

Jiang Nuo naturally didn’t know why the Yun Sect Leader placed a bounty on him. His cultivation affairs weren’t known to many people, so why did the Yun Sect people go to such lengths to set a bounty on him?

"I still want to ask you that. I don’t even know any of you Yun Sect people; why are you putting a bounty on me?" Jiang Nuo felt wronged.

"Since you don’t know either, go ask King Yan then!" Saying this, the middle-aged man swung the horsetail whisk. The whisk lengthened and wrapped around Jiang Nuo’s neck.

The Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword fell to the ground, and Jiang Nuo, caught off-guard, struggled to pull away the whisk from his neck, "Uh..."

His breathing became more and more difficult; he almost rolled his eyes.

No!

It can’t be like this!

He can’t just die like this; he promised his wife he would practice cultivation with her!

At the moment Jiang Nuo was on the brink of death, the space ring on his finger suddenly activated the defense mode, abruptly knocking away the horsetail whisk and sending the middle-aged man flying.

"Boom—"

He hit the barrier and then fell to the ground.

Jiang Nuo sat heavily on the ground, gasping for breath.

Saved!

Fortunately, the space ring his wife gave him saved him!

Although he now had no Spiritual Energy and couldn’t activate the ring’s defense mode, the space ring had an automatic defense function, triggering when it sensed his life was in danger.

"No! Impossible! My Assassination Technique can’t fail, you couldn’t have mobilized Spiritual Energy..." The middle-aged man’s face was full of disbelief.

"You’re right; I indeed have no Spiritual Energy, but so what?" Jiang Nuo clutched the sword hilt, dragging the Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword as he approached the middle-aged man.

The sword light of the Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword scraped a string of sparks on the ground.

And his hand gripping the sword hilt was so forceful that his fingertips turned pale.

He was nervous; he didn’t know if his decision was right, but, as they said, he had to strive to become strong soon so he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Mu Qiuniang.

Otherwise, he would be dragging Mu Qiuniang down his whole life!

If that were the case, he wouldn’t forgive himself either.

He would rather become ruthless and indifferent than let his wife’s hands get stained with blood on his behalf.

"What are you going to do? You just said you wouldn’t kill, you can’t kill me..."

"Yes, I did just say that, but I’ve changed my mind. You’re trying to kill me, so why can’t I kill you?"

Exactly, it’s not like he initiated the killing; the other party wanted to kill him. Why couldn’t he fight back?

Must he wait until the day he really faces death and a life-threatening situation to wake up?

Must he wait until the day Mu Qiuniang faces life-threatening danger to save him to wake up?

No!

Absolutely not!

As a man, if he can’t even be the umbrella for his woman, can he call himself a man?

Jiang Nuo stood in front of the middle-aged man, "Any last words before you die?"

"You’re crazy! Killing leads to a path of no return; once you kill someone, you won’t have a chance to regret it, think carefully..."

"There’s nothing to think about. If I don’t kill you, you’ll kill me. Do I have to live under my wife’s wing forever? Though I enjoy my wife protecting me, I can’t tolerate always dragging her down, so, sorry!"

The Divine Weapon Thunder Light Sword rose high and fell down, and a head rolled to the ground like a ball.

The eyes on the head were wide open in disbelief.

Jiang Nuo didn’t dare to look, shifting his gaze aside. With weak hands and feet, he took out a "Blazing Fire Talisman" and threw it out. Murong had told him, "Blazing Fire Talisman" is more powerful than "Fire Talisman" and can even burn corpses. It’s the best tool for destroying evidence.

As the flames burned, he sat on the ground, looking like a beggar in the street, looking shabby and without any image of a cool guy.

"Hahaha... Hahahahaha..."

After sitting silently for a while, he suddenly burst into laughter, and as he laughed, a sheen of moisture appeared in his eyes.

He couldn’t quite describe his feelings at the moment, but he could distinctly feel that something was different. Although his hands and feet were still weak, and he couldn’t believe—killing a person was so easy, but vaguely, something was indeed different.

"Qiu Niang..." He murmured this name, over and over, repeating.

The phone rang at this moment, and he wasn’t surprised. It must be Mu Qiuniang calling, right?

Did she also sense his danger?

"Wife, why aren’t you asleep yet this late?" He lay on the ground, gazing at the dark sky as he answered the phone.

"Hmm!" Mu Qiuniang softly hummed, "Are you alright?"

"What could happen to me? I feel great right now, my wife, did you miss me and just find an excuse to call?"

On the other end of the line, Mu Qiuniang didn’t speak.

"Don’t worry, your husband and I still need to cultivate into immortals with you and become a pair of immortal lovers. How could anything happen to me? Wife, wait for me; I will become stronger, and by then, I will protect you, alright?"

"Alright! I’ll wait for you!"

"Wife, you’re so good, mwah!"

"Mwah!"

"Sleep early; you have a competition tomorrow."’

"Okay! There are Healing Pills in the space ring, don’t forget to take them."

"Got it, that Revitalizing Pill, right? It seems really tasty, like candies. Wife, make more when you’re free, I feel my taste is getting a bit sweet lately!"

"Okay!"

"Wife, say you love me, alright?"

"I love you!"

"I love you too, wife!"
