My Silly, Sweet Wife

The sudden, unexpected change made Leng Wujiu’s face turn pale.

He quickly dodged to the other side, away from the spot where the giant mouth appeared, grabbed a rock with one hand, and cautiously looked at the cave entrance.

Meanwhile, the person who had been bitten in half was instantly devoured by the giant mouth.

The other two experts were horrified and rapidly retreated.

But one of them was too slow and was swallowed by the giant mouth again.

The Taoist who had just climbed halfway looked up, was terrified, lost strength in his hands and feet, and rolled down, falling into a disordered heap, probably with his bones shattered.

Shang Hongye was also trembling with fear. She looked at Ye Guichen incredulously and asked in a trembling voice, ”What... What is that?”

Although the full appearance was unclear, the mouth just now was definitely more formidable than the Swallowing Sky Python from before.

Ye Guichen also wasn’t sure, ”You stay here and don’t move, I’m going to take a look.”

With that, he let go of his hand.

Shang Hongye immediately leaned against the cliff, nervously staring below.

By this time, Leng Wujiu also came to his senses. Seeing that the giant mouth hadn’t crawled out and instead shrunk back, he found it extremely strange.

Seeing Ye Guichen unharmed, Leng Wujiu burst out cursing, ”Little bastard, what is that thing?”

Leng Wujiu still thought Ye Guichen had led them here on purpose.

Ye Guichen couldn’t be bothered with Leng Wujiu and glanced at the remaining expert, a sly smile curling at his lips, and rapidly approached him.

That expert was one of the top-tier, but seeing his three companions devoured by a beast, cold sweat had formed on his back.

Suddenly hearing a sound approaching, he quickly looked up, only to see Ye Guichen baring his white teeth in a grin.

”What do you want to do?”

If they had teamed up earlier, he would have had confidence in dealing with Ye Guichen, but now only one remained, forcing him to consider joining with Leng Wujiu.

”Hehe, it’s feeding time!” Ye Guichen said as he grabbed towards the expert.

The expert was terrified and shouted loudly in panic, ”Young Master Leng, help me!”

Leng Wujiu didn’t expect Ye Guichen to be so daring, his figure quickly leaped up and rushed towards Ye Guichen.

”Watch out!” Seeing Leng Wujiu also strike, Shang Hongye cried out in alarm.

However, Ye Guichen didn’t care about Leng Wujiu at all.

As he grabbed, the expert swiftly dodged, making Ye Guichen miss.

But Ye Guichen didn’t give up, jumping swiftly on the cliff like a monkey, quickly catching up with the expert, and chopping at his neck to knock him out.

The expert’s eyes rolled back, falling down.

Ye Guichen grabbed him and sneered at Leng Wujiu, ”Young Master Leng, don’t worry, I’ll feed you to my pet later!”

Even though he didn’t know what else was in the cave, it was clear that the creature inside was interested in live prey.

Holding the unconscious expert, Ye Guichen once again approached the cave entrance and shouted inside, ”Hey, dinner time!”

He threw the expert inside.

”Roar!”

Inside, a roar echoed, and a gigantic head emerged, opening its bloody mouth and swallowing the expert in one bite.

This time, Ye Guichen also saw the general appearance of the creature in the cave.

It looked similar to the Swallowing Sky Python but was significantly bigger.

But due to the cave’s depth and poor lighting, Ye Guichen could only see around ten meters and couldn’t see the rest of the giant snake.

According to Shang Hongye, the Ghost Kiss Grass should be in this cave.

But due to the poor lighting, Ye Guichen hadn’t seen the Ghost Kiss Grass.

After swallowing the person, the giant snake in the cave saw Ye Guichen standing near the entrance and blinked its lantern-like eyes before lunging at him again.

Ye Guichen didn’t act recklessly and retreated again.

After retreating ten meters, the giant snake once again withdrew its head, with its other half never leaving the cave, making Ye Guichen extremely puzzled.

”Hiss hiss!”

At this moment, Ye Guichen heard a snake’s hissing behind him. Turning around, he saw the previous Swallowing Sky Python again.

The Swallowing Sky Python, after being severely injured and fed a top-tier expert by Ye Guichen, had clearly recovered quite a bit, although its scars remained grotesque, it could move freely.

It crawled behind Ye Guichen, eyes glimmering with gratitude, glanced at the cave, then licked Ye Guichen’s face with its tongue before quickly heading for the cave.

Witnessing this, both Leng Wujiu and Shang Hongye’s eyes widened.

This giant snake, could it really be Ye Guichen’s pet?

Shang Hongye didn’t dare move recklessly, her mind in a haze.

Leng Wujiu also didn’t dare act rashly.

Now with a giant snake in the cave and one outside, along with Ye Guichen and Shang Hongye, one wrong move could mean death.

Leng Wujiu, having lived over fifty years, had reached the peak of life. Although the Leng Family might not yet have reached their peak, he had enjoyed earthly pleasures for years and certainly wasn’t willing to die.

His eyes twitched, constantly evaluating and plotting how to resolve the present situation.

Soon, Leng Wujiu’s gaze fell on Shang Hongye.

Based on their earlier clash, Leng Wujiu quickly determined Ye Guichen was quite capable, while Shang Hongye’s skills were at best second-tier, only threatening him with her poison.

Before coming, Leng Wujiu had prepared various antidotes. As long as he could control Shang Hongye and prevent her from using poison, then leverage her against Ye Guichen, everything could be solved.

At worst, even if he couldn’t leverage Ye Guichen, capturing Shang Hongye and taking her to Sakura Falling was akin to holding a sovereign, ensuring control over Sakura Falling.

With this in mind, Leng Wujiu cautiously approached Shang Hongye.

Shang Hongye’s attention was entirely on the cave entrance, oblivious to Leng Wujiu’s intentions towards her.

Ye Guichen didn’t understand what the Swallowing Sky Python wanted to do and kept staring at the cave.

Soon, the Swallowing Sky Python reached the entrance.

But it didn’t go in. Instead, it curled around the large tree outside, lowered its head towards the entrance, and made strange noises, as if worshipping.

”Roar!”

Suddenly, a beastly roar echoed from the cave.

Deafening.

The Swallowing Sky Python, originally curled around the tree, shivered in fright, almost falling off.

Its head lowered even further, trembling like a human would, seemingly extremely afraid.

Ye Guichen was astonished.

It appeared the cave’s giant snake was even more formidable than the Swallowing Sky Python.
