My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ye Guichen naturally didn’t notice the changes in the Swallowing Sky Python. When he returned to the bottom of the cliff, Shang Hongye was still standing dumbly not far from the giant python as if she hadn’t come to her senses.

”This giant python’s whole body should be full of treasures, we should have someone come and carry it back later!” Ye Guichen took the Ghost Kiss Grass back. Seeing Shang Hongye still in a daze, he waved his hand in front of her: ”Hey, what’s wrong with you?”

”Ah?” Shang Hongye finally snapped out of it, her face full of embarrassment. Immediately, as if to change the topic, she hurriedly looked around: ”By the way, where is Leng Wujiu’s Taoist?”

Leng Wujiu was already dead, and the Leng Family wouldn’t know for a while.

However, the Taoist who used to follow Leng Wujiu had disappeared.

If the Taoist managed to escape and report back, it would definitely result in the Leng Family’s mad retaliation.

Only now did Ye Guichen remember the Taoist from earlier.

But after looking around, the Taoist had long disappeared.

”Forget it, let’s go back and revive the old leader first.”

Seeing that it was almost dark, Ye Guichen couldn’t possibly go looking for that Taoist.

This dense forest is vast and boundless; it’s quite likely that the Taoist would soon be eaten by wild beasts.

Shang Hongye also had to nod.

The primary concern was still reviving the old leader.

In her heart, Shang Hongye had already trusted Ye Guichen eighty percent.

Ye Guichen’s enigmatic methods indeed made Shang Hongye terrified.

Such a person might truly have a chance to revive the old leader.

More than an hour after Ye Guichen and Shang Hongye left, a figure crawled out trembling from a pile of rubble and weeds a hundred meters away from the giant python’s corpse.

That person was the Taoist who had been following Leng Wujiu.

The Taoist’s face was pale, and between his legs there was a wet yellow patch, clearly from being scared.

He was merely a fake Taoist who was used to scamming people, but accidentally discovered Sakura Falling’s location, and thus was revered by the Leng Family.

Before coming here, he had confidently assured that he could take Leng Wujiu to find Sakura Falling.

Now that Leng Wujiu and those four experts had all been swallowed by the python, he was fortunate enough to be cowardly and survived.

If he were to return and report back, he might be beaten to death by the Leng Family.

”No way, I need to find a place to hide.” Thinking of the terrifying manner in which Ye Guichen killed the giant python, the Taoist shuddered again.

On one side was the Leng Family, and on the other was Ye Guichen; neither were easy to mess with.

Finding a place to hide and save his own life seemed paramount.

...

By the time Ye Guichen and Shang Hongye returned to Sakura Falling, it was already dark.

Without a moment’s delay, their feet had just stepped off the small boat onto land when Shang Hongye couldn’t wait to drag Ye Guichen to the old leader’s sickbed.

For precaution, the Second Elder specially guarded the sickbed to prevent anyone from attempting to harm the old leader.

Even Ugly Fox was there carefully attending to him.

Although Ugly Fox was disheartened by Long Tianci’s death, she understood that it wasn’t the old leader or Shang Hongye’s fault and remained loyal to them.

Seeing Ye Guichen and Shang Hongye return, Ugly Fox quickly lowered her head respectfully: ”Mr. Ye, Holy Daughter.”

Ugly Fox didn’t expect Ye Guichen to master the Wuyin Array or even help the Holy Daughter suppress chaos in Sakura Falling.

She witnessed firsthand Ye Guichen’s display of great power.

While shocked, she was also secretly relieved that she hadn’t fought Ye Guichen to the end.

”Holy Daughter, you’re back?” The Second Elder looked at Ye Guichen with eyes full of respect, knowing that this seemingly young man possessed unparalleled power, and his eyes sparkled.

Shang Hongye lightly nodded: ”How is Master?”

”Still the same, unconscious,” the Second Elder quickly replied.

”Alright, everyone leave,” Shang Hongye said impatiently.

”Everyone leave?” The Second Elder was taken aback: ”Holy Daughter, don’t you need our help?”

”No help needed, all of you leave.” As she spoke, Ye Guichen had already come close to the old leader, glanced at Shang Hongye: ”Including you.”

”I need to leave too?” Shang Hongye glared at Ye Guichen: ”What if you plan to harm my master?”

”If you don’t trust me, I can leave it alone,” Ye Guichen said coldly: ”Moreover, I’m reviving your master only to get something I want from him, but it’s not urgent for me. If you think someone else can revive your master, then you don’t need to have come with me.”

”You…” Shang Hongye didn’t expect Ye Guichen to speak so bluntly, not sparing her any face.

She stomped her foot in frustration but had no choice.

”Fine, we’ll all leave.” She said, angrily leading the others out.

Ye Guichen shook his head lightly: ”Strange, her temperament is totally different from Bai Qinghe. Sister Bai speaks so well, although she’s sometimes annoying, she’s not as cold and unruly as this girl.”

At the doorway, Shang Hongye staggered upon hearing Ye Guichen’s mutter, wishing she could come back and pummel him.

This guy, his words are so infuriating!

Bam!

The door was slammed shut heavily, as if venting frustration.

”Holy Daughter, can Mr. Ye really do it?” Outside, as the door just closed, the Second Elder urgently asked.

Shang Hongye bit her lip, briefly recounting Ye Guichen slaying the giant python but avoiding mentioning Leng Wujiu’s death.

The fewer people knowing such matters the better.

Should the Leng Family come looking one day, they could play dumb and deny ever meeting Leng Wujiu.

But hearing Shang Hongye’s recount, the Second Elder and Ugly Fox were left gaping.

”What did you say? A giant python, could it be that twenty-something meter long python from before?”

Clearly, the Second Elder had seen the Swallowing Sky Python before, living here meant frequent encounters.

Yet, the Second Elder knew the horror of that python, always avoiding it.

Shang Hongye gently shook her head: ”No, it’s larger and more terrifying than that python.”

”Hiss…” The Second Elder gasped: ”That kid killed that thing? Is he a monster?”

Shang Hongye’s eyes flickered, feeling deeply conflicted.

Secretly she wondered: whether he’s a monster or not, even Master might not be his match.

Meanwhile, Ye Guichen had begun detoxifying the old leader of Sakura Falling.

This Ghost Kiss Grass turned out larger than expected; not all of it was needed.

The remaining Ghost Kiss Grass could be used for many things.

Ye Guichen plucked a leaf and a fruit, crushed them in his hand, then mixed them into boiling hot water.

He picked up a stir stick and gently stirred.

Under his rhythmic stirring, that bowl of hot water soon turned into a potently toxic concoction.
