My Silly, Sweet Wife

Upon hearing the words of the people from Sakura Falling, Ye Guichen waved his hand, as if leaving without a trace.

After leaving Sakura Falling, Yuan Shao expressed his strange regret: ”Mr. Ye, why didn’t you seize such a great opportunity? Becoming the leader of Sakura Falling would definitely be a huge blow to the Azure Dragon Commerce!”

Ye Guichen glanced sideways at Yuan Shao: ”I’m too lazy to bother.”

Indeed, it’s already challenging enough for Ye Guichen to have the Heavenly God Temple.

There are too many things to do; a mere Sakura Falling isn’t worth Ye Guichen’s attention.

However, before leaving the dense forest, Ye Guichen first went back to the place where he had killed the giant python.

Shang Hongye should send someone to retrieve the dead giant python, as such a creature is full of treasures. Its scales could be used to forge weapons, and its flesh could be turned into medicinal materials.

Ye Guichen already had the Ghost Kiss Grass and the python’s tailbone, and he started to form an idea of how to heal Linglong’s leg.

If possible, using the highly toxic Ghost Kiss Grass to stimulate Linglong’s nerves, combined with some blood and tailbone of the python, there’s a good chance it could heal Linglong’s leg.

So, after finding the python’s carcass, Ye Guichen had Shui Liao take two scales and cut a piece of flesh, then he himself climbed up the cliff.

Originally, he wanted to see what had happened to the Swallowing Sky Python, but he found that it seemed to be hibernating, seemingly asleep.

However, the aura it emitted was significantly stronger than before.

It seems that once the Swallowing Sky Python awakens, its power would be stronger than the dead giant python.

”It seems you have gained quite a fortune!” Ye Guichen smiled at the sleeping Swallowing Sky Python and quickly left.

Although the journey there was difficult, leaving didn’t take much time.

By the evening of the next day, Ye Guichen had already returned to Yun City.

He sent Yuan Shao to the original underground casino, asking Yuan Shao to see if there was any profitable business that could be done there, and then arranged Shui Liao and Ma Xiaoling at the Medicinal Food Restaurant.

Luckily, the Medicinal Food Restaurant had enough space; otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough room for so many people.

Ma Xiaoling wasn’t in a hurry to leave, and decided to work at the Medicinal Food Restaurant as a handyman.

Shui Liao didn’t need to do anything, just standing at the door of the Medicinal Food Restaurant with his large build was enough to deter any troublemakers.

When Su Jiu’er saw Ye Guichen return, she was both surprised and delighted, pulling Ye Guichen to the side: ”You’re finally back! Where have you been these days? Our boss tried calling you but couldn’t get through, we thought you were dead.”

”Hey, watch your words!” Ye Guichen replied irritably: ”What’s the matter?”

Su Jiu’er shook her head: ”I don’t know. Our boss just said to call him back immediately when you return.”

”Alright, I got it!” Ye Guichen nodded, carefully storing away the Ghost Kiss Grass and snake tailbone he had brought back, then had Zhao Erdan drive him to Chen Ziran’s place.

Ye Guichen wanted to discuss Shang Hongye’s situation with Bai Qinghe.

Although Sakura Falling was temporarily stable, Shang Hongye’s setback was significant.

Especially since Shang Hongye was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and had always relied on the halo of being the Holy Daughter. Now, bearing the whole Sakura Falling, must be exceedingly difficult.

If possible, Ye Guichen wanted Bai Qinghe to meet Shang Hongye, reunite mother and daughter to alleviate longing, and help Shang Hongye stabilize Sakura Falling.

Of course, if Bai Qinghe really went, there would be no one to protect Chen Ziran, so someone suitable and loyal must be found to protect Chen Ziran.

After thinking, Ye Guichen felt Ma Xiaoling was the most suitable candidate.

Ma Xiaoling craved the Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill he had refined; offering her one annually as a reward for protecting Chen Ziran would be a great deal.

Deciding this, Ye Guichen made a phone call to Duan Nanduan, Su Jiu’er’s boss, while on the car.

”Brother Ye, where have you been? I’ve been searching for you high and low!” The phone was answered after just one ring, and Duan Nanye’s slightly excited voice came through.

Ye Guichen chuckled: ”Brother Duan, I went out to handle some matters and just returned. Jiu’er said you were looking for me.”

”Yes, yes.” Duan Nanye responded hastily: ”If I couldn’t find you, I would have used Dragon Teeth’s intelligence network to dig you out.”

”Haha, not to that extent, right?”

”Not to that extent!” Duan Nanye seemed anxious: ”Brother Ye, to tell you the truth, I’ve been so worried these past few days, my hair’s turning white. I didn’t want to bother you, but for the sake of Dragon Teeth’s brothers, I had to seek your help. Haha, besides, we both oppose the Yama of Yama Palace, so I shamelessly came to you.”

”Hasn’t King Yan already joined the Azure Dragon Commerce and hasn’t shown up recently? Why, has he surfaced again?”

”No, it’s not certain yet, but I suspect it has a lot to do with King Yan.” Duan Nanye quickly explained the situation.

Lately, some powerful martial artists have been specifically challenging famous martial arts schools in various cities. Even Dragon Teeth members on missions were severely injured, as if these individuals were targeting Dragon Teeth.

Duan Nanye was furious upon receiving the news, but arrested some culprits, discovering they were originally assassins from Yama Hall.

Yet, when Yama Hall aligned with Azure Dragon Commerce, the assassins seemingly disappeared instantly.

Now, their sudden reappearance naturally made Duan Nanye sense something unusual.

Duan Nanye’s interrogation yielded no useful information, clearly indicating that the captured assassins were low-level and unaware of higher-up intentions.

Duan Nanye suspected King Yan was trying to impress Azure Dragon Commerce, but lacked evidence, unable to confront Azure Dragon Commerce.

In just three days, over ten martial artists had died, directly humiliating Dragon Teeth.

If this situation were really connected to King Yan, sending more Dragon Teeth members to investigate might be futile, risking further losses.

After deep consideration, Duan Nanye thought of Ye Guichen.

If Ye Guichen agreed to help, it would greatly benefit Duan Nanye.

After hearing Duan Nanye’s intentions, Ye Guichen smiled: ”Brother Duan, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I have a lot on my plate right now. Besides, my relationship with you is good, but I’m not Dragon Teeth’s enforcer.”

This was a subtle refusal.

Duan Nanye seemed to have expected Ye Guichen’s response, and laughed: ”Brother Ye, I know what you’ve been busy with. Aren’t you searching for the Seven-colored Lotus Jade? And I also know you have a black box, intending to use the Seven-colored Lotus Jade to open it and discover your origin, right?”
