My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ma Xiaoling looked at Ye Guichen with hopeful eyes, even resting her cheeks in her hands, as if she was looking at an idol.

However, the soft and sweet voice coming from the icy and cold Ma Xiaoling’s mouth still made Ye Guichen shiver.

Especially remembering that Ma Xiaoling might look like a cute girl, but she dealt with corpses every day, Ye Guichen felt even more creeped out and quickly said, ”Let’s exchange with the Seven-colored Lotus Jade first!”

With that, he put away the remaining four Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pills, ”I want to see the Seven-colored Lotus Jade within a week, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Turning around, he left and entered Mi Lan’s room.

Watching Ye Guichen’s back, Ma Xiaoling stomped her foot angrily, ”If you don’t want to give it then don’t, what’s the big deal.”

Ma Weihe’s eyes flickered, almost having his jaw dropped by Ma Xiaoling’s pleading tone earlier.

It had to be known that Ma Xiaoling was the most promising Corpse Chaser of the clan, and was expected to inherit the leadership in the future. She was usually stern and serious, but just now, she had actually acted sweetly toward Ye Guichen.

Well, Ye Guichen had indeed surprised him by successfully refining the Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pills, and not just one, but seven at once.

”Let’s go, your grandmother is still waiting.” sighing inwardly, Ma Weihe urged.

The sun set and the sky grew dark.

But to Ma Xiaoling and the others, it made no difference whether it was day or night.

”Let’s go!” Deciding quickly, they didn’t delay any further.

Though they wanted to get all those Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pills, having three now was enough to save the Corpse-chasing Clan.

There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Meanwhile, Ye Guichen appeared in Mi Lan’s room.

Mi Lan was still a little weak, with red-rimmed eyes, indicating she had been crying earlier.

Seeing Ye Guichen come in, she quickly turned her head to the side, forcing a smile, ”You’re here.”

”Are you alright?” Ye Guichen sat by the bed, giving her a warm smile like spring.

Mi Lan was moved, throwing herself into his arms, ”Thank you.”

”No need for such words between us.” Ye Guichen pushed her away gently, looking into her eyes, ”What do you plan to do?”

The strength of the Leng Family exceeded Ye Guichen’s expectations.

Even if he wanted revenge, now was definitely not the right time.

Going alone to kill Leng Wujiu wouldn’t change anything.

Right now, the urgent task was to stabilize the Qin Family internally, implement big reforms, and recover quickly. Otherwise, if the Qin Family fell, even getting revenge would be meaningless.

Mi Lan gazed at Ye Guichen with eyes filled with emotion, ”You’ve helped me so much. Knowing the truth is enough for me. And now that Luo Baicheng is dead, one of my concerns is resolved.”

Ye Guichen shook his head, ”You know I’m not talking about the Luo Family, but the Leng Family and Leng Wujiu.”

Mi Lan’s eyes avoided his gaze, ”Let’s talk about it later.”

”Alright.” Ye Guichen understood that Mi Lan was worried about his safety and didn’t want him to take risks.

So, he stood up and didn’t say more, ”I need to go out, you should rest first.”

The matter with the Luo Family needed to be dealt with.

Obtaining the Luo Family’s assets could also help the Qin Family.

Currently, aside from Mi Lan being heavily impacted, Qin Hanzhong seemed to have lost all his spirit and it would be hard for him to recover.

So, Ye Guichen decided to support Mi Lan in taking control of the Qin Family.

But the Qin Family was too small, not even among the top four families, let alone compared to the Leng Family.

The urgent task was to control the Luo Family, then support Mi Lan in fighting her way into the top four families, to gradually devour the Leng Family.

It was already past seven in the evening when Ye Guichen arrived at the Luo Family.

The lanterns were just being lit.

As the second most prominent family in Qinghe, the Luo Family’s estate was even larger than Ye Guichen had imagined, with a mansion resembling an ancient noble’s residence.

Moreover, the Luo Family’s residence was situated by the Qinghe River, where a walk by the slowly flowing river after dinner was quite pleasant.

After Shang Wen Dong parked the car in front of the Luo Family’s gate, Ye Guichen told him and Tanlang to wait outside, while he knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened, revealing a face.

The person started to close the door upon seeing Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen held the door lightly, with a gentle push.

The door swung open, and the person who opened it was thrown far away.

He screamed as he hit the ground, ”The one named Ye is here! The scourge is here!”

Shadows flitted about.

Within moments, dozens of people were blocking Ye Guichen’s way.

From the car, Shang Wen Dong and Tanlang glanced over but shook their heads boredly, not intending to help.

Looking at the people in front of him, Ye Guichen smiled wryly, ”I’m here to see Mr. Luo, could you please inform him.”

”Because of you, Young Master Luo is crippled, and Mr. Luo is dead!”

”Yes, you, the culprit, dare to come to harm our Luo Family again?”

”Take another step, and believe me, we’ll kill you!”

There was a lot of shouting, but no one dared to step forward.

Ye Guichen shook his head, looking up. Sure enough, white lanterns were hung in the yard, and many people were dressed in white where his eyes could see.

They were preparing for Luo Baicheng’s funeral, it seemed.

”Then I’ll go and offer incense.” Ye Guichen clasped his hands behind his back and headed straight for the main hall.

The Luo Family’s estate replicated an ancient noble’s mansion, with small bridges and flowing water, rockeries and pavilions, an environment far better than the Qin Family’s.

Walking forward indifferently, the Luo Family members hesitated, none dared to approach.

He reached the main hall entrance.

In the center of the hall was a coffin, presumably Luo Baicheng’s.

”Such arrogance, young man!”

A hoarse voice sounded.

Ye Guichen turned to see three people approaching from not far away.

In the middle was an elderly man with graying hair, holding a dragon-head cane, looking dignified, obviously the Old Master of the Luo Family.

On the left of the Old Master, being supported by Luo Qianqi on his arm, and on the right, a slightly younger man than the Old Master, who walked with the vigor of a practiced martial artist.

”Old Master, you finally came out!” Ye Guichen smiled faintly, pointing to the portrait of Luo Baicheng inside the main hall, he smiled, ”Mind if I go in and offer incense?”

The Old Master’s face darkened, ”Are you here to insult our Luo Family?”

No matter how composed he was, having his face slapped in his own house infuriated the Old Master.

Ye Guichen shook his head, ”From today onwards, the Luo Family will be renamed the Ye Family, where’s the insult in that?”
