The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 548: Harmony in marriage

"Cough, cough!"

Gong Leitian let out a light cough, and everyone stopped their chatter, quietly looking at him.

The special department fell into silence, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Gong Leitian said, "I’m very sorry, but something very terrible has happened. Some of you might not have even heard of it, but this issue concerns the safety of the entire world, and whether it can be resolved depends on all of us. If anyone is unwilling to risk their lives, you may opt out of this operation."

"Minister, what exactly has happened?" someone asked.

"The Demon Evil Array."

Qing Daojun’s eyebrows twitched suddenly: "Minister, did you just say the Demon Evil Array?! Isn’t that the Ancient Forbidden Array? Isn’t this array supposed to have long been lost?"

"That’s right, it’s the Ancient Forbidden Array, and the most wicked and fearsome Demon Evil Array at that. Once activated, unless all sacrifices are offered, it won’t end. And the ones sacrificed don’t even need to be within the array; even if they’re millions of miles away, as long as they have the sacrificial text on them, they can be offered."

"That’s not even the scariest part," Qing Daojun said seriously, "The most pathetic thing is what it summons; the more sacrifices, the more terrifying the thing that is summoned. If no one can stop it, that thing will devour everything it can until there’s nothing left in this world for it to devour, only then will it disappear. In other words, if it appears and can’t be destroyed, it will be total destruction with no one left to revive."

Everyone swallowed hard, and one person quietly raised a hand: "I heard from my master that being a sacrifice is very tragic too because you don’t even know you’re a sacrifice until you suddenly explode into a pool of blood."

Gong Leitian said, "Exactly! Each sacrifice has different sacrificial text, but if you have tattoos, those tattoos might turn into sacrificial text."

"What the heck?! Could the tattoo on me be sacrificial text?" Lao Jiu hurriedly checked his clothes.

He just forgot there were quite a few women in the room, and they quickly turned their heads away in fright.

Xiao Ning scolded angrily, "Lao Jiu, have you no shame?"

"What use is shame?! My life is nearly gone..." Lao Jiu stripped off his clothes, revealing a lifelike dragon etched on his chest. He leaned toward Gong Leitian, "Minister, can you check if this is sacrificial text?"

Gong Leitian frowned, his expression cold, "Haven’t I already said each person’s sacrificial text is different? How would I know if yours is sacrificial text?"

Lao Jiu cried immediately: "Waaa... What do I do? What do I do? I’m going to become a sacrifice!"

"Minister, is there really no way?" Xiao Ning felt a bit sympathetic seeing him like that.

"There is, use a special method to remove the tattoos. I’ll teach everyone later, but today you all have a more important task: do everything you can to check if anyone has tattoos, and if they do, use the special method to remove them immediately."

Qing Daojun frowned and said, "Minister, simply removing the tattoos doesn’t tackle the fundamental issue; the key is how to break the Demon Evil Array. As long as the array remains unbroken, the entity within will emerge eventually."

"The ancestor from Hidden Immortal Sect has gone in person. If even she can’t break it, then we’re all just waiting to die."

Everyone’s eyes widened. My goodness, the Golden Core ancestor of Hidden Immortal Sect?!

If even she is going, then...

It really is like the minister said, if even the ancestor can’t break the array, then no one else can either.

After Mu Qiuniang entered the Demon Evil Array, she stepped on the Divine Pen and drove it toward Jiang Nuo’s direction.

"Qiuniang, why are you here?" Jiang Nuo looked up and was startled to see her silhouette.

And beside him, Zhan Zhengtong, staring at the daughter-in-law flying over, was completely stunned. My goodness! Her daughter-in-law is also part of the Cultivation World, just like her son?!

Has this world changed too quickly, or is she hallucinating?

"Wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be," Mu Qiuniang said.

Although her face looked the same as before, with no expression, her tone was very earnest.

"But it’s dangerous here; you shouldn’t have come in," Jiang Nuo said, holding her hand.

"Because it’s dangerous, I can’t let you be here alone."

"My wife..." Jiang Nuo couldn’t help but hug her, "Do you know, the happiest thing in my life is meeting you."

"Fool!" Mu Qiuniang stroked his head.

As if completely forgetting their past disagreements, Mu Qiuniang even proactively greeted Zhan Zhengtong.

"Hello, Mother-in-law!"

Compared to Mu Qiuniang’s natural demeanor, Zhan Zhengtong seemed a bit awkward: "Hello!"

She had just caused trouble for her this morning, and now she’s come to be with her son ’through thick and thin.’ This...

What could she say?

"Is the situation very urgent now?" Zhan Zhengtong wasn’t foolish and could sense something was off since her son hadn’t rescued her yet and her daughter-in-law rushed in and said such things.

"You didn’t tell Mother-in-law?" Mu Qiuniang asked, puzzled.

Jiang Nuo scratched his nose: "How do you explain something like this?"

"Then let me explain," Mu Qiuniang wasn’t one to spare her husband in work, "The situation is indeed quite critical. Mother-in-law, if we can’t get out of this array, we’ll become the sacrifices of this array. You heard the screams below, didn’t you? That wasn’t your imagination; people were dying."

Zhan Zhengtong’s eyes widened, looking towards Jiang Nuo. She insisted she heard screams just now, only for him to trick her, saying she misheard. So it was real.

"Then... what do we do?" At this point, Zhan Zhengtong was worried, "Daughter-in-law, you were able to come in, can’t you take us out?"

Mu Qiuniang shook her head, "It’s easy to get in, but hard to get out. Unless the array is broken, we can’t get out."

"Who set up this array with such malice?" said Zhan Zhengtong, before realizing, "Is it Lady Dongfang? I knew it, that woman was never any good. She said before that she wanted to get revenge on Jiang Nuo and to ’go down together’! Now look, it’s a big trouble, Jiang Nuo, you shouldn’t have come to save me before, I’ve lived long enough, as long as you and your children are okay, I’ve lived my life..."

She started to cry, feeling like they really had no hope. Her poor grandson and granddaughter likely were going to become orphans.

Luckily, their father is still alive, and she left a lot of inheritance. As long as her brother and his children have a bit of conscience, her grandson and granddaughter’s lives shouldn’t be too hard.
