My Silly, Sweet Wife

This canyon is called Corpse Burial Valley, who knows what might happen here.

If the few of us split up, we could be taken down separately, which wouldn’t be worth it.

What followed was a frenzy of slaughter.

Hei Taixui’s men had all lost their fighting power and were left with no choice but to flee frantically.

Even the most skilled among them were merely second-rate fighters, previously relying on their numbers.

Now that they had scattered, they were no match for Yuan Shao and his group.

Hei Taixui ran the fastest, but Shui Liao tore through the bandits and relentlessly chased after him, scaring Hei Taixui almost to wetting himself.

Having killed countless over the years, Hei Taixui never imagined that he would be torn apart by someone.

This was truly too terrifying!

However, the sound of footsteps behind him grew louder, accompanied by the shaking of the ground. Hei Taixui turned to look and saw Shui Liao was only ten steps away, and it wouldn’t be long before he was caught.

”Oh my god, I was wrong!”

Hei Taixui was terrified to the point of breaking, no longer daring to escape.

He turned around, fell to his knees with a thud, his movements fluid: ”Hero, spare my life!”

Shui Liao hadn’t expected Hei Taixui to suddenly pull this move and was at a loss for how to proceed.

By this time, Hei Taixui’s men were almost completely dead.

”Rip him apart!” Ma Xiaoling, seeing Shui Liao hesitate, shouted out.

Shui Liao hesitated slightly at her words and was about to act but was stopped by Ye Guichen.

Though Hei Taixui had committed numerous atrocities and deserved to die a hundred times over, they were in unfamiliar territory, and even Situ Yufeng did not know the exact location of Sakura Falling.

Since Hei Taixui was connected to An Shengtian, he might be able to lead the way.

”Hei Feng, I’ll give you a chance to live. Take us to find Sakura Falling.” Ye Guichen did not beat around the bush.

”Yes, yes, as long as you spare my life, I’ll do whatever you say!” Hei Feng knocked his head repeatedly, terrified to the point of losing his soul: ”Also, I’ll tell you everything I know! An Shengtian hired me to block the road here, killing anyone trying to get to Sakura Falling, paying one million per head.”

Desperate to save his life, Hei Feng spilled the beans before Ye Guichen could even start questioning.

Situ Yufeng was furious at this revelation: ”Well, An Shengtian is truly despicable, leaving no stone unturned. It seems he is determined to obtain Sakura Falling!”

At this moment, Yuan Shao walked over, glanced sideways at Situ Yufeng: ”An Shengtian’s cunning is no less than An Cangsheng’s. If he really gets hold of Sakura Falling, Azure Dragon Commerce might no longer have a place for Secretary Situ.”

”Hm?” Hearing Yuan Shao’s sarcastic tone, Situ Yufeng paused, looking at Yuan Shao curiously, as if not understanding why this guy seemed quite familiar with him.

”Alright, get up quickly!” Ye Guichen knew this wasn’t the time for idle chat. He said to Hei Feng, instructing Shui Liao and Ma Xiaoling to keep a close watch on Hei Feng and kill him on the spot if he tried anything funny.

Hei Feng quickly assured he wouldn’t dare.

But when he raised his head, Hei Feng’s face changed: ”Oh no, we seem to have entered Corpse Burial Valley.”

”So what if we have?” Situ Yufeng asked: ”Didn’t you say as long as we get out before dark, we’ll be fine?”

”No, that’s not it.” Hei Feng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead: ”I don’t know the specifics, but lately Corpse Burial Valley seems more evil than before. I used to know that terrible things would happen after dark, but recently, as long as it’s past three in the afternoon, there’s a sinister wind here. So we usually finish killing people before three and then go to An Shengtian to claim our reward.”

As Hei Feng spoke, his eyes were vigilantly scanning around, as if something terrible was hiding nearby.

Hearing this, Ye Guichen and the others were also startled, looking around themselves.

Ye Guichen furrowed his brows, suddenly feeling like countless eyes were watching them.

”Strange, could there really be Yin Souls here?”

Ye Guichen, having roamed far and wide with his master since birth and witnessed many unexplainable things, had never encountered real ghosts.

But Li Fengxian had told Ye Guichen that real ghosts might exist in this world.

”No, Mr. Ye, there seems to be a hidden deadly array here!” Yuan Shao suddenly spoke, pulling out a compass.

The moment the compass appeared in Yuan Shao’s hand, its needle spun wildly.

”Hm?” Ye Guichen, knowing quite a bit about arrays, looked around at Yuan Shao’s words, his face changing slightly.

Indeed, there seemed to be a murderous array here, constructed based on the terrain, likely much stronger than the Heavenly Gang Formation used by Yuan Shao before.

With the tales of so many deaths here, it increasingly gave off an eerie vibe.

Hei Feng shivered uncontrollably, not even bothering to wipe the sweat flowing down his face. His eyes were wide, not daring to blink.

Yuan Shao held the compass, pacing within a three-meter radius, seemingly searching for something.

Ye Guichen took a deep breath, raising his hand, his fingers moving in the air as if manipulating something unseen.

”Secretary Situ, go check over there.” Yuan Shao suddenly spoke, pointing ahead to the left behind a large tree.

Situ Yufeng paused, reluctant, but seeing Ye Guichen remained silent, he glanced at Yuan Shao and quickly walked over.

Just as he rounded the tree, a strange cry sounded from behind it: ”Oooooh...”

It was a piercing, chilling sound that sent shivers down one’s spine.

”Ah...!”

In the next second, Situ Yufeng let out a scream, his figure disappearing in an instant as if dragged away by something.

Simultaneously, the scream abruptly stopped.

Plop!

Hei Feng was so scared he fell sitting on the ground.

He kept kowtowing towards where Situ Yufeng had vanished: ”Heroes, we just accidentally entered here, accidentally entered, please let us go!”

Clatter!

As everyone stared at the spot where Situ Yufeng disappeared, a pile of bones stained with blood and flesh was thrown out from behind the tree.

Those bones were almost intact, easily recognizable as a man’s skeleton.

Are there really filthy things?

Ye Guichen was momentarily stunned.

But quickly, he realized something was off.

Situ Yufeng should be dead.

Ye Guichen glanced at Yuan Shao, who quickly turned his head away, and he sneered without saying a word.

Just now, Yuan Shao had directed Situ Yufeng to check over there, knowing there was danger, sending him to his death.

This Yuan Shao likely didn’t want Situ Yufeng to learn his identity, thus using this excuse to kill him.

”Yuan Shao, go see what is there!” Ye Guichen’s lips curved into a smile, ordering.

Yuan Shao froze, his face instantly changed, hurriedly responding: ”Mr. Ye, if I’m correct, there is likely a carnivorous plant there!”
