My Silly, Sweet Wife

Su Jiu’er’s voice was sweet and soft, completely different from her previous straightforward demeanor. She now seemed like a girl who had just seen her lover.

After speaking, Su Jiu’er blinked twice, and pea-sized tears began to roll down her cheeks.

She jumped off the bed, threw herself into Ye Guichen’s arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and started crying, ”So it really is the Underworld. I never thought I’d see you even after I died. It’s all my fault. I knew you saved me several times, but I never said thank you. I never thought that when I finally did, I would already be a ghost. Boohoo...”

Ye Guichen was speechless.

Ma Xiaoling, standing on the side, also opened her mouth in shock. She finally couldn’t help but remind, ”Um, this is the mortal world, not the Underworld.”

”Huh?” Su Jiu’er seemed to just notice someone else in the room. She turned her head and saw Ma Xiaoling. Seeing that she didn’t recognize the person and that the person’s face was a bit whiter than usual and dressed somewhat exotically, she asked curiously, ”Are you Bai Wuchang?”

Poof!

Ye Guichen couldn’t hold it anymore and pushed Su Jiu’er away from him, ”Hey, are you hoping for me to die?”

”What?” Su Jiu’er was even more confused. Seeing Ye Guichen’s mixed expression, she suddenly grabbed Ye Guichen’s arm, not caring how dirty it was, and bit down hard.

”Crunch!” With this bite, Su Jiu’er felt like she had bitten into something hard.

Moreover, the scream she expected didn’t come out.

Su Jiu’er raised her head and looked at Ye Guichen with wide eyes, ”We really are dead, you don’t even feel pain. Boohoo, if we’re dead, will we never meet again in our next lives?”

Ye Guichen was speechless. Ever since he entered the Innate Realm, his body had become much tougher than ordinary people. Su Jiu’er’s bite felt like a mosquito bite; it didn’t hurt at all. It seemed Su Jiu’er was completely lost in her own world. Seeing that her body, though weak, was no longer in serious danger, he grimaced and said, ”Since you called me a good brother, I won’t hold this bite against you. If you don’t believe you’re still alive, you can try biting yourself. I’m filthy; I need a bath.”

After saying this, he stood up, grabbed some clothes, and went into the bathroom, ”But remember, men and women shouldn’t invade each other’s privacy. Once you figure this out, hurry up and leave.”

Su Jiu’er still seemed dazed.

She clearly remembered the force of the slap from Shui Liao. An ordinary person would have died on the spot.

Though her cultivation wasn’t weak, she couldn’t withstand that blow and thought for sure she would die.

Hearing Ye Guichen’s words, she instinctively bit her own arm. The pain made her wince, and she suddenly stood up, ran to the bathroom door, and banged on it, ”I’m not dead? I’m really not dead? Haha, how can it be? I felt my organs were shattered with that slap, how can it be?”

”Ma Xiaoling, please get this lunatic out of here.” Ye Guichen felt exhausted.

He couldn’t understand how someone with Su Jiu’er’s intelligence could join Dragon Teeth.

Oh right, it must be because of the Sunan King, using a backdoor connection.

After finally washing off all the grime, Ye Guichen felt much lighter and refreshed. Not only was his skin whiter and smoother than before, but it was also surprisingly elastic.

”Just entering the Innate Realm can cause such changes in my body. No wonder some people pursue cultivation their entire lives,” Ye Guichen mused, staring at his reflection in the mirror.

With a slight movement of his ear, Ye Guichen could clearly hear the conversation outside between Ma Xiaoling and Su Jiu’er.

”Sister Xiaoling, did he really save me?”

”Yes, no one else could save you except him.” Ma Xiaoling still seemed shocked by the previous events.

Su Jiu’er obviously understood that she hadn’t really died, and from Ma Xiaoling’s introduction, she realized that Ye Guichen had done her a great favor. She came back this time to repay him.

Suddenly, Su Jiu’er felt odd inside.

Repay him, did it mean offering herself in marriage?

”Sister Xiaoling, what did Ye Guichen do for you? You’re not intending to marry him to repay him, are you?” Su Jiu’er spoke bluntly. After saying this, she nervously clenched her fists, fearing Ma Xiaoling might actually nod.

For some reason, during that life-and-death moment, Su Jiu’er realized she couldn’t stop thinking about Ye Guichen.

This man had saved her several times.

Moreover, he was dazzlingly brilliant, shining like starlight.

Most importantly, this man had seen her naked body.

At that moment, Su Jiu’er finally understood if Ye Guichen died, she feared she would become an empty shell.

But now, knowing she wasn’t dead, Su Jiu’er felt hesitant.

”Ma Xiaoling, come in.” Ma Xiaoling opened her mouth but hadn’t spoken yet when the door opened, and Ye Guichen, freshly clothed, appeared.

The two women turned to look at Ye Guichen.

At that moment, they felt a sudden clarity in their vision.

”You, are you that Ye Guichen?” Su Jiu’er widened her eyes, incredulous.

In terms of temperament and appearance, Ye Guichen seemed completely transformed. If not for the unchanged features, Su Jiu’er would have suspected he had a makeover.

Ma Xiaoling felt the same.

Previously, although she thought Ye Guichen was handsome, she had never found him this stunning.

Yes, Ma Xiaoling hadn’t realized she was actually stunned by a man.

Ye Guichen understood very well that he was now extraordinarily handsome. With a faint smile that oozed charm, he spoke seriously, ”Su Jiu’er, since you called me a good brother, I won’t blame you for trying to get yourself killed earlier. I have something to discuss with Ma Xiaoling. You go about your business.”

”Hey, who called you a good brother? Stop being so smug!” Su Jiu’er’s face flushed. Embarrassed, she quickly turned and fled.

It was so humiliating.

If the other guys from Dragon Teeth knew she had thrown herself into a man’s arms and called him a good brother, they’d laugh at her forever.

She finally made it downstairs, touching her face, which was burning hot.

Patted her chest lightly, Su Jiu’er recalled Ye Guichen’s appearance and couldn’t help but feel shocked: ”Oh my, what happened to Ye Guichen? Just now, that smile was so charming. If I didn’t know him, I’d almost be mesmerized by it. No, no, it must be because he saved me so many times that I’m so moved. That’s got to be it!”

Thinking of this, Su Jiu’er pumped her fists, cheering herself up: ”Yes, there’s no way I’d be interested in that jerk Ye Guichen. Hmph, he just likes to bully me.”

After cheering herself up, Su Jiu’er suddenly felt uncertain: ”Oh no, that guy is really handsome. How come I never noticed before?”
