My Silly, Sweet Wife

Recalling the previous encounter with the Swallowing Sky Python, Ye Guichen felt a strange thought arise in his mind.

This should be the place where the Swallowing Sky Python resides, but the first time he saw it was dozens of miles away from here.

Generally, for such giant pythons, their range of activity wouldn’t be too far from their nests.

Since that Swallowing Sky Python went that far and attacked him, it’s very likely it was seeking food for the python in the cave, rather than for itself.

Moreover, it seemed that ordinary beasts could no longer satisfy the appetite of the giant python in the cave, only martial artists could.

Thinking of this, Ye Guichen broke out in a slight sweat on his forehead.

If his guess was correct, the giant python in the cave had probably developed spiritual awareness. Although still far from legendary demons, it wasn’t that far off.

It is said that snakes can cultivate into dragons, and dragons further cultivate into true dragons.

Since humans can cultivate, it is not surprising that beasts can do the same.

His master had mentioned before that there might truly be demons in this world.

However, Ye Guichen had not seen any up until now.

Just as Ye Guichen was lost in thought, the Swallowing Sky Python drooped its head and returned.

Its eyes revealed dejection, and it looked up briefly.

At this moment, a piercing scream echoed: ”Ah...!”

The sound was urgent and quickly stopped.

Ye Guichen’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked up.

What he saw made his face change instantly.

”Damn, how did I overlook him?!”

Ten meters above Ye Guichen, on a steep cliff, Shang Hongye had already fainted, and Leng Wujiu was holding Shang Hongye with one hand, grinning at Ye Guichen.

”Kid, you do have some skills, but no matter how powerful you are, what’s the use? Hehe, even the cunning fox can’t escape the hunter’s tricks!” Leng Wujiu said, already lifting Shang Hongye into the air: ”I might not understand if you really keep a giant python as a pet, but I don’t care. I give you a chance now, dig out that python’s snake gallbladder for me, or I’ll let go.”

Leng Wujiu had knocked Shang Hongye unconscious to prevent her from using poison.

Now, he was dangling Shang Hongye in the air, and at a height of hundreds of meters, Shang Hongye would surely be smashed to pieces if he let go.

However, Ye Guichen did not believe that Leng Wujiu would kill Shang Hongye.

Since Leng Wujiu came to Sakura Falling representing the Leng Family, it was undoubtedly for the position of the leader of Sakura Falling.

If Shang Hongye didn’t die, she still had great value.

But once she died, even with Leng Wujiu’s skills, he would be burdened with the crime of killing the Holy Daughter, and it would be difficult for the people of Sakura Falling to accept him.

”Hehe, if you want to let go, then do it.” Ye Guichen wasn’t anxious, but his eyes gleamed with killing intent: ”Leng Wujiu, I have no deep relationship with the Holy Daughter, and there’s nothing I would do for her. But you, Leng Wujiu, I’m more interested in killing you to avenge Mi Lan’s mother!”

”Mi Lan’s mother!” Leng Wujiu was stunned, somewhat confused.

In his understanding, Ye Guichen should be some sort of bodyguard to Shang Hongye, so why was Mi Lan’s mother suddenly involved?

Ye Guichen decided to take this chance to divert Leng Wujiu’s attention, sneering: ”I am Ye Guichen!”

”Ye Guichen?” Upon hearing this, Leng Wujiu’s pupils shrank instantly.

Then, his face showed a look of realization.

He had heard about the events at Qinghe Qin Family long ago.

Moreover, he later learned that Mi Lan, with the help of a man named Ye Guichen, annulled her marriage with the Luo Family, and the Luo Family didn’t even dare to retaliate after their son died, which piqued Leng Wujiu’s interest slightly.

But only slightly.

After all, he was a member of the Qianlong List. Among first-rate experts, he was one of the best. To him, the disputes between the Qin Family and the Luo Family were trivial, unworthy of his interest.

The only one who did interest Leng Wujiu was Mi Lan.

Previously, he had fancied Mi Lan’s mother, and now knowing that Mi Lan was another beauty not inferior to her mother, Leng Wujiu naturally set his sights on Mi Lan.

Never did he imagine that, just as he sent someone to the Qin Family to deliver a message, Mi Lan secretly fled that very night.

Leng Wujiu was furious and had planned to send someone to capture her, but received an order from his father Leng Bosun to handle matters at Sakura Falling.

Reluctantly, Leng Wujiu set aside the matter with Mi Lan and brought his people to Sakura Falling.

To ensure nothing went wrong, Leng Wujiu brought only first-rate experts, aside from himself and the guiding Taoist.

He believed that with these skilled people, taking advantage of the chaos in Sakura Falling to achieve success would be certain.

But he didn’t expect to encounter the Holy Daughter and Ye Guichen here, losing all his men.

Nonetheless, as long as he controlled Shang Hongye, there was still a chance to salvage the situation.

Upon hearing Ye Guichen introduce himself, Leng Wujiu was momentarily stunned, then burst into wild laughter: ”So that’s why you are hostile towards me! Haha, it turns out you are that slut Mi Lan’s man! Tsk tsk, I guess we are alike. With a beauty like Mi Lan by your side, and yet you’re still eyeing the Holy Daughter of Sakura Falling, does it feel good?”

Ye Guichen’s face darkened upon hearing this: ”Don’t compare me to you!”

”Haha, how is it not a fact that you eloped with the Holy Daughter?” Leng Wujiu said nonchalantly, glancing at the giant python: ”But you do have some skills, getting an animal to obey. Now that my four men are dead, let’s make a deal. Declare allegiance to me, and I’ll let bygones be bygones.”

He then looked at the unconscious Shang Hongye: ”As for the Holy Daughter, hehe, once I take over Sakura Falling, I’ll have a taste, and then let you have a try. Tsk tsk, I heard the Holy Daughter must remain a virgin, I wonder if that’s true.”

Leng Wujiu’s obscene words were relentless, and it was fortunate that Shang Hongye was unconscious, otherwise, she would have died of rage.

Ye Guichen’s eyes grew colder, shaking his head slightly: ”Mi Lan’s mother died with regret, Mi Lan was heartbroken upon hearing it. Letting you die easily would be too merciful.”

While speaking, Ye Guichen began to climb towards Leng Wujiu.

Leng Wujiu’s face darkened, seeing Ye Guichen’s killing intent, he yelled: ”Kid, take one more step, and I’ll throw the Holy Daughter down!”

”Go ahead!”

Ye Guichen suddenly sped up.

His body seemed to cling to the cliffside, and in a flash, he was in front of Leng Wujiu.
