My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Cold-blooded Fox Venerate?”

Ye Guichen was somewhat stunned upon hearing these four words.

How could Ye Guichen not have heard of the Cold-blooded Fox Venerate?

However, in Ye Guichen’s memory, this person became famous forty to fifty years ago, when his master Li Fengxian mentioned him in passing.

It is said that the Cold-blooded Fox Venerate, true to his name, is cold-blooded but as cunning as a fox. In his philosophy, life is more important than anything. When it comes to his own interests and safety, even his closest kin can be sacrificed.

What shocked Ye Guichen the most was the story of how the Cold-blooded Fox Venerate, as a teenager, got lost in the deep mountains with his father and encountered a tiger. To escape, the Cold-blooded Fox Venerate used a pole to break his father’s leg, making his father the tiger’s target while he escaped.

When Ye Guichen heard this, his young heart was deeply struck. He never imagined anyone could be so cold-blooded.

But later on, shortly after the Cold-blooded Fox Venerate became famous, he mysteriously disappeared as if he had never existed.

It now seemed that the Cold-blooded Fox Venerate had concealed his identity and became Luo Youdao, one of Qinghe’s four major surnames.

Naturally, Ye Guichen harbored no good feelings toward such a person.

But to control the Luo Family, Ye Guichen still needed Luo Youdao to work for him.

”How did you recognize my identity?” Ye Guichen was somewhat curious about how Luo Youdao recognized him as the grand master of the Heavenly God Temple.

Luo Youdao, with utmost respect, replied, ”Grand Master, your reputation precedes you. In just these last few days, your name has been like thunder to the ears. Not to mention your ability to make the Greedy Wolf willingly submit, your skills in refining the Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill, which even make the Corpse Chaser willing to serve you, and your decisiveness in eliminating your enemies without a second thought. Even the Old Ghost couldn’t do anything to you. All this makes it obvious that you are the Grand Master.”

Truly cunning as a fox.

Ye Guichen nodded slightly. It seemed he had been too conspicuous recently, alerting Luo Youdao to something unusual.

”Alright, I understand. Transfer sixty percent of the Luo Family’s assets to me within two days.” Ye Guichen stopped wasting words and turned to leave.

”Grand Master, sixty percent?” Luo Youdao’s mouth twitched slightly, showing some confusion.

”Could it be that nine percent can’t buy your life?” Ye Guichen turned back and sneered.

Luo Youdao, terrified, responded, ”Understood, understood.”

Ye Guichen said no more and strode away.

But his mind was filled with numerous thoughts.

No one expected that one of the Shadow Yamas would have been lurking around Luo Youdao for so many years.

It seemed that the Yama’s intention was to control Luo Youdao and thus control the entire Luo Family through him.

However, no one anticipated that Luo Youdao was actually the Cold-blooded Fox Venerate from years ago, and that Ye Guichen had seen through the Yin Yang Talisman on him.

Exhaling a breath, Ye Guichen began to understand Duan Nanye’s pain.

The King Yan of the Yama Hall was too cunning. Even if one or two Shadow Yamas were killed, it wouldn’t make any difference. Catching him, let alone finding him, was no easy task.

As Ye Guichen walked out, he saw many Luo Family members gathered outside, looking at him with perplexity, as if they couldn’t believe he walked out unscathed and unharmed.

Ye Guichen looked around and smiled at Luo Qianqi, ”In the future, I hope you will serve me well.”

Saying this, Ye Guichen strode away.

Just as he exited the Luo Family, a man stumbled forward with a fawning smile, ”Mr. Ye, you finally came out. Heh, if you hadn’t come out, I would have gone in to get you.”

Looking up, Ye Guichen saw it was Qi Baishan of the Qi Family.

Qi Baishan’s face was filled with a flattering smile.

Ye Guichen glanced at Qi Baishan, ”Family Head Qi, what is it?”

”Heh, Mr. Ye, it’s nothing really. My three disappointing sons offended you. I want to invite you to lunch at Qinghe Hotel tomorrow to apologize.” Qi Baishan said this as he glanced cautiously at the Luo Family, ”The Old Master of the Luo Family didn’t blame you, did he?”

His demeanor was entirely probing.

Ye Guichen could easily see through Qi Baishan’s thoughts.

He must have known that Ye Guichen came to the Luo Family and was waiting outside on purpose.

If Ye Guichen hadn’t come out tonight, it would mean something bad had happened to him. Qi Baishan could then rest easy.

But since Ye Guichen walked out safely, it proved that even the Old Master of the Luo Family couldn’t do anything to him. Thus, Qi Baishan wouldn’t dare use any schemes or tricks and only wanted to bow and apologize.

Ye Guichen sighed and shook his head gently.

Even though the Qi Family had fallen, to be one of the four major families, Qi Baishan’s calculations were still sharp.

But now, the greatest enemy in Qinghe was only the Leng Family; the other three families were no longer a threat, so Ye Guichen didn’t bother arguing with the groveling Qi Baishan. He nodded, ”Alright, tomorrow at noon, see you then.”

”Great!” Qi Baishan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ye Guichen agree, ”Where are you headed now? Shall I give you a ride?”

Ye Guichen looked toward Qinghe, noticing a black van parked by the river nearby.

All the windows of the van had black film on them, making it impossible to see inside from outside.

Ye Guichen smirked, ”Sure, but there’s no need to drive. It’s not far. Let’s walk.”

”An honor.” Qi Baishan was puzzled but still nodded and bowed, ”Shall we walk by the river?”

”Alright!” Ye Guichen laughed and walked straight towards the van.

Greedy Wolf, who had followed Ye Guichen for a long time, exchanged a glance with Shang Wen Dong and quickly got out of the car to follow.

Qi Baishan, confused, asked, ”Mr. Ye, you are...”

”Knock, knock, knock!” Before Qi Baishan could finish his sentence, Ye Guichen had already knocked on the van’s window.

The window rolled down, and a head poked out.

The person had a flat top haircut and a large birthmark on the left side of his face, making him look very unattractive, ”What’s the matter?”

”You’re looking for me, right?” Ye Guichen lit a cigarette, leaning against the car door, and exhaled a smoke ring, ”It’s pointless to be sneaky. If you want to fight, come down quickly.”

The man’s face tightened, and he suddenly reached out to grab Ye Guichen’s neck.

Ye Guichen dodged backward, avoiding the grab.

At the same time, the doors of the van opened, and seven or eight people rushed out.

Each held a weapon and quickly surrounded Ye Guichen and Qi Baishan.
