My Silly, Sweet Wife

Hearing Ye Guichen’s words, Ma Xiaoling was shocked and instinctively glanced at Ma Weihe, noticing the astonishment in his eyes as well.

For Ye Guichen to possess the Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill was already a pleasant surprise for them, but for him to claim he could refine such a pill was absolutely astounding.

The Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill might not be very useful for others, but for Corpse People, it was like a divine medicine.

Moreover, the method to refine this pill was extremely difficult, yet looking at Ye Guichen, it seemed quite simple.

”You, you can really refine the Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill?” Ma Weihe couldn’t help but ask, taking a deep breath.

If Ye Guichen could truly refine such a pill, then he would be like a walking treasure. As long as he could regularly provide this pill to the Corpse People, their lifespans would extend, and their strength would undoubtedly increase. By then, the revival of the Corpse-chasing Clan would be inevitable.

Ye Guichen smiled faintly, ”Believe it or not, answer my question first.”

Ma Xiaoling tried hard to suppress her inner excitement.

Her thoughts aligned with Ma Weihe’s; regardless of whether Ye Guichen’s words were true or false, if they were true, they had to cling tightly to him.

After all, Ye Guichen was the hope of the Corpse People.

”Mr. Ye, to show our sincerity, we will warn the Luo Family and the Qi Family so that they won’t trouble you again.” Ma Xiaoling said with increased respect, then opened her hand in front of Ye Guichen: ”Maybe you don’t know our identities, but please believe us. If we intervene, no matter how bold they are, they won’t dare to harm you.”

As she spoke, a strange talisman slowly formed in Ma Xiaoling’s palm.

The moment the talisman appeared, the surrounding air became much colder.

A diner muttered, ”Boss, why did you turn the air conditioning so low? It’s freezing.”

The owner glanced at the air conditioning temperature and said in confusion, ”That’s odd. It’s always set at this temperature. Could the air conditioner be broken?”

As he spoke, the owner tried increasing the air conditioning temperature by a few degrees.

Ye Guichen narrowed his eyes, looking at Ma Xiaoling’s palm, without showing any surprise.

To make Ye Guichen believe her, Ma Xiaoling performed a slight demonstration. Seeing Ye Guichen’s unchanged expression, she directly said, ”Mr. Ye, we are Corpse People. Have you heard of us?”

As she spoke, she grabbed a cup of hot water from the table, and with a light squeeze, the steaming water quickly solidified into ice.

This ability would absolutely shock an ordinary person, and even a martial artist would be secretly amazed.

But Ye Guichen grasped Ma Xiaoling’s wrist. She instinctively tried to pull back, but with a slight force from Ye Guichen, a strange power spread from her hand to the cup.

In an instant, the frozen water melted again.

Ma Xiaoling stared at Ye Guichen in shock, ”Who, who exactly are you?”

Corpse People, due to dealing with corpses for long periods, naturally carried a heavy yin energy. Additionally, their cultivation techniques allowed them to control some cold energy.

Though these were minor skills, they could decisively defeat enemies at critical moments.

Ma Xiaoling was confident that ordinary experts couldn’t counter this move, and even top-tier experts might struggle.

However, Ye Guichen easily neutralized her technique with a gentle grip.

Unconsciously, Ma Xiaoling realized she might have underestimated Ye Guichen.

Loosening his grip, Ye Guichen said, ”Let’s be realistic. If I was afraid of the Qi Family and the Luo Family, I wouldn’t have recklessly confronted them.”

Ma Xiaoling’s mouth hung open.

She clearly understood Ye Guichen’s message.

With Ye Guichen’s earlier display, Ma Xiaoling was certain his abilities were far from simple martial prowess.

”We have a piece of Seven-colored Lotus Jade in our Corpse Chasing Sect. If you can give us the Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill, I’m willing to trade the genuine Seven-colored Lotus Jade.” Ma Xiaoling hesitated for a moment before speaking, watching Ye Guichen closely, afraid he might refuse.

After all, this was her highest bargaining chip.

The Seven-colored Lotus Jade was worth billions now, something any ordinary person would covet.

Indeed, Ye Guichen finally showed a look of interest, ”Not like the fake ones at the auction?”

Ma Xiaoling quickly raised her hand and swore, ”I assure you, this one is real.”

”Alright!” Ye Guichen nodded, agreeing immediately, ”One Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill for one piece of Seven-colored Lotus Jade.”

”No, Mr. Ye, the Seven-colored Lotus Jade is our sect’s treasure. Can’t we get a few more Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pills for it?” Seeing Ye Guichen’s quick agreement, Ma Xiaoling hastily added.

Ye Guichen stood up, ”One pill for one piece. If you have more Lotus Jade, you can come to me. I guarantee the highest quality Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pills. If you want to negotiate further, I’ll collect the Lotus Jade myself.”

After saying this, he turned to leave.

Ma Xiaoling panicked, ”Alright, I agree, but I need to see the pills within three days.”

”No problem.” Ye Guichen stopped and added, ”But I don’t have the materials now. Buy them and deliver them to me tonight, and you’ll have the pills tomorrow.”

Ye Guichen wasn’t worried about Ma Xiaoling reneging, so he requested a pen and paper from the restaurant owner, wrote down the needed items for Ma Xiaoling, and left with Shang Wen Dong.

”Miss, trading our Seven-colored Lotus Jade for just one Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill, isn’t that too much of a loss?” After Ye Guichen left, Ma Weihe voiced his concerns, ”And if he’s exaggerating his abilities, what will we do?”

Staring at the words on the paper, Ma Xiaoling bit her lip, ”If we cannot survive this, grandmother will die, and the Corpse People will be homeless. We have no choice but to gamble.”

...

Meanwhile, at the Qi Family.

After Qi Xiong and Qi Hu returned in a mess, they reported that Ye Guichen planned to dismantle the Martial Arts Top Scholar plaque.

The Qi Family Patriarch Qi Baishan was furious.

Glaring at Qi Hu and his brothers, he cursed, ”Useless! You’re all useless!”

Qi Hu defended, ”If Qiao Chunhe hadn’t intervened, we definitely would have killed that brat.”

”Humph!” Qi Baishan snorted coldly, ”I don’t want to hear excuses. Right now, the priority is to protect the plaque. From now on, arrange guards round-the-clock. Watch it closely. As for that brat, I have plans to deal with him.”

”Yes!” Qi Hu and Qi Bao reluctantly agreed.

Qi Baishan waved his hand to dismiss everyone, then rubbed his temples, thinking for a moment before taking out his phone and dialing a number.

Moments later, a hearty laugh came from the other end, ”Haha, Bai Shan, what brings you to call this old man?”

Qi Baishan grinned, ”Mr. Luo, I just missed you.”
