My Silly, Sweet Wife

You’re so ugly!

Chu Tiange’s three words pierced Yang Liu’s heart as if with a knife.

Yang Liu feared nothing more in this life than being called ugly.

Especially as a woman, she often felt afraid to show her true face to the world.

But the feelings she had for Long Tianci were overwhelming, even though she knew he might harbor some aversion to her.

But what of it?

She didn’t want to be like this, but due to her cultivation, she had no choice.

”You’re courting death!” Yang Liu screamed, humiliated, slamming her palm on Chu Tiange’s back. ”You’ll pay for your loose tongue, little girl!”

Chu Tiange was just an ordinary person, despite her celebrity status, how could she withstand such a blow from Sakura Falling’s Ugly Fox?

Thud!

Chu Tiange spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.

Ye Guichen hadn’t expected the other party to be so unreasonable, resorting to violence just because someone called her ugly.

Even though he had no personal interest in Chu Tiange, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

Watching Chu Tiange being flung away, Ye Guichen swiftly moved forward, catching her and sealing her life force to prevent her death.

”Ugly Fox, come at me if you have a grudge. Why attack others?” Ye Guichen glared at Yang Liu.

Yang Liu was stunned; she hadn’t expected Ye Guichen to recognize her so easily.

Soon, she calmed down.

”Ye Guichen, Long Tianci’s arm has been crippled, he’s gone mad. Was it because of you?” A woman in love often loses her sanity.

Despite Long Tianci’s many warnings not to trouble Ye Guichen, Yang Liu didn’t care.

All she wanted was to avenge Long Tianci.

She even forgot the mission Sakura Falling had given her.

”He brought it upon himself!” Ye Guichen shook his head slightly. ”What, you want revenge?”

”Fine! Since you admit it, today I’ll take one of your arms too!” Without hesitation, Yang Liu raised her hand, throwing out strips of water sleeves.

The sleeves split into five, rushing towards Ye Guichen.

Chu Tiange had already passed out, as though she were asleep.

Ye Guichen gently placed her down, glanced at the five approaching water sleeves, and said calmly, ”As expected of the Ugly Fox. Your Nine-tailed Fox Sleeve technique still lacks refinement. Only managed five tails and you think you can fight me?”

Upon closer look, those five sleeves indeed resembled fox tails.

”Enough with the verbal sparring!” Yang Liu ignored Ye Guichen’s words, shaking her wrist again, sending the five sleeves slashing like blades.

Ye Guichen tapped the ground with his toes, leaping into the air, stepping on one of the sleeves, and lunging towards Yang Liu.

The other four sleeves missed, piercing the alley walls and leaving four holes behind.

If anyone else saw this, their jaws would drop in shock.

But Yang Liu was undeterred, her only thought was severing Ye Guichen’s arm to avenge Long Tianci.

With a powerful yank, she retrieved the sleeves from the wall, attacking Ye Guichen once more.

”Foolish!” Seeing Yang Liu’s murderous intent, Ye Guichen wouldn’t hold back.

He twisted his body, grabbing two of the sleeves and pulling, dragging Yang Liu towards him.

Simultaneously, he flicked his wrist, sending the sleeves surging back towards Yang Liu.

With years of battle experience, Yang Liu sensed the impending danger.

”Damn it!” She had no time to think, quickly releasing the sleeves.

The next moment, the sleeves exploded like firecrackers, scattering into countless pieces of fabric.

But Ye Guichen didn’t stop.

He slashed in midair.

His hand cut through the remaining three sleeves like a steel blade.

Rip!

Rip!

Rip!

Three tearing sounds echoed as the sleeves were severed.

”So powerful!”

Yang Liu’s face tightened, gasping in fear.

She had never witnessed such a technique.

Her five water sleeves, refined for years and made of the toughest silk, were effortlessly cut by Ye Guichen.

Fear gripped her, she wanted to flee, but Ye Guichen grabbed one of the severed sleeves, wrapping it around her neck.

A choking sensation overwhelmed Yang Liu.

”Trying to escape?” Ye Guichen pulled, bringing her within half a step of him.

Yang Liu shut her eyes: ”Go ahead, kill me. If I can’t avenge Tianci, my life is meaningless!”

Her expression was one of fearless defiance.

Ye Guichen sighed: ”You’re from Sakura Falling, yet you abandon your mission to avenge Long Tianci?”

”Long Tianci is my everything. If he asked me to die, I wouldn’t hesitate!” Yang Liu showed no signs of begging for mercy. ”Besides, I know in my heart that Tianci isn’t happy with my appearance. But what can I do? Many times I’ve thought of dying, but who would protect Tianci then?”

As she spoke, tears welled up in Yang Liu’s eyes. ”If you kill me, you’d be doing me a favor. I thought Tianci would be happy to see me, but he avoids looking at my face. What’s the point of living like this?”

Ye Guichen was speechless.

Here she was, talking about personal matters during a revenge fight.

Yet, hearing her words, he couldn’t help but feel pity for her.

He knew the importance of appearance to a woman. To have her face ruined and be labeled an ”Ugly Fox” surely made her life miserable.

”If I could help you restore your face, what would you do for me?” Ye Guichen loosened the sleeve, speaking calmly.

”What?” Yang Liu turned her head sharply, disbelief in her eyes, then she sneered, shaking her head. ”Ye Guichen, I know you’re strong, even Tianci fears you. I didn’t expect to kill you today. But mocking me, what’s the point? My face was corroded by toxins due to my Voodoo Technique cultivation. No one in this world can restore it.”

To Yang Liu, Ye Guichen’s words were sheer mockery.

Restore her face?

That was a laughable notion.

If it were possible, there wouldn’t be so many disfigured Voodoo Technique practitioners.

Even Sakura Falling’s Nine Flower Courtesan wore a veil to hide her face.

The Voodoo Technique was powerful, capable of killing masters with ease, but its practitioners paid the price with their own bodies. The deeper the practice, the greater the self-harm.

Deep in the Miao mountains, the old voodoo masters had turned into neither human nor ghost, consumed by their craving for power.

Ye Guichen ignored her skepticism and smiled. ”What’s the benefit of mocking you? If it weren’t for the fact that you held back and didn’t kill her, you’d be dead now. But you just wounded her, showing you still have kindness in you.”

He pointed to the unconscious Chu Tiange.

If Yang Liu intended to kill Chu Tiange, she would have died instantly.

But having checked her, Ye Guichen knew Chu Tiange was merely injured, not fatal, showing Yang Liu’s restraint.

Often, people have no choice.

Someone like Yang Liu, reaching this point, must have had no other way.

What kept her going was love.

But no man truly ignores a woman’s looks, no man can love deeply when facing an ugly face daily.

Unless he’s blind.

So, Ye Guichen believed if he could cure her, this Ugly Fox would be loyal to him.
