My Silly, Sweet Wife

How could Ye Guichen not see through Feng Hu’s manipulations?

Feng Hu had completely underestimated Ye Guichen, who didn’t leave him any room for maneuver. After hearing Ye Guichen’s question, Feng Hu was stunned for a few seconds, then feigned ignorance and said: ”Why do you say that? I don’t think you’re stupid at all. In fact, I think you’re quite smart.”

”Oh, since that’s the case, Protector Feng, I’d like to ask: does anyone else know that you came to see me today?” Ye Guichen asked casually.

It was in Ye Guichen’s best interest that as few people as possible knew he had a tamed Ghost Bird. Even Liu Li had only been told part of the truth by Feng Hu.

Liu Li had already left, and Feng Hu had not told anyone else about coming to see Ye Guichen today.

Because he believed Ye Guichen posed no threat to him.

Feng Hu couldn’t grasp Ye Guichen’s tactics but instinctively replied: ”I didn’t tell anyone.”

”Then I’m relieved.” Ye Guichen grinned brightly, ”Protector Feng, perhaps you don’t know, but I detest trouble. Especially now, I don’t want to get involved with your King Qin. Since you haven’t told anyone about coming to see me, if you die, no one will find me for a while, right?”

”You want to kill me?” Feng Hu hesitated for a moment, as if hearing the most absurd joke: ”Kid, do you truly think you’re invincible? I gave you a bit of face simply to make friends. Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to discuss today!”

With those words, Feng Hu suddenly burst out with a terrifying aura.

Simultaneously, he slapped his hands together, and a wave of Xuanqi burst forth like a giant tide, charged with killing intent towards Ye Guichen.

This wave of Xuanqi could easily shatter a huge boulder.

Seeing the Xuanqi rushing towards him, Ye Guichen didn’t move, only lightly shook his head: ”Protector Feng, sorry to say, but this level of ability isn’t enough to kill me!”

He raised his hand and flicked his finger.

Bang!

A deep explosive sound echoed.

About ten centimeters in front of Ye Guichen, a barrier that looked like a thin membrane suddenly appeared.

The barrier, upon its appearance, collided directly with the Xuanqi emitted from Feng Hu’s hands.

However, Feng Hu’s Xuanqi was clearly no match for Ye Guichen’s defense. It scattered instantly like dust in the wind upon hitting the barrier.

Feng Hu froze for a moment, staring at Ye Guichen in disbelief: ”What kind of technique is this?”

”It’s no special technique. Since you want to use Xuanqi to fight me, I’ll just kill you with Xuanqi!” Ye Guichen waved his hand and then gently clenched it. The thin membrane in midair seemed to be controlled by him.

This casual manipulation of Xuanqi heightened Feng Hu’s sense of impending doom: ”Your... your cultivation level...”

”Stronger than yours!” Ye Guichen said as he seemed to grasp something and lightly waved outward.

Swish!

A blade as if solid materialized out of nowhere in Ye Guichen’s hand and slashed towards Feng Hu.

Feng Hu’s face changed drastically.

The oppressive feeling of that Xuanqi blade was overwhelming, like being hit by a train.

Feng Hu was certain that if he were struck by that blade, his body would be split in two.

”Thousand Path Shield!”

Feng Hu couldn’t think any longer. Crossing his arms over his body, he activated his internal Xuanqi again.

The Xuanqi surged wildly, like flooring the accelerator of a car.

In an instant, Feng Hu’s face turned ashen.

But the effect was immediate.

A shield-like object formed in front of Feng Hu.

This was Feng Hu’s ultimate defense move.

As a protector, although he was an average Innate master, he still had his ways to preserve his life.

The Thousand Path Shield was Feng Hu’s refined defense technique using Xuanqi.

Even a full-force attack from a peak Innate master couldn’t easily destroy the Thousand Path Shield.

Feng Hu believed that no matter how powerful Ye Guichen seemed, he couldn’t kill him in one blow.

Given a chance to catch his breath and escape, Feng Hu was confident that if he spread the news about Ye Guichen having a tamed Ghost Bird, trouble would come to Haunt Ye Guichen in waves.

Not only would King Qin send people to support him, but the other six kings wouldn’t let up either.

After all, having a squadron of tamed Ghost Birds would be disastrous in multi-person battles.

Grinning, Feng Hu could already envision Ye Guichen being relentlessly hunted. In the chaos, who would emerge victorious was still uncertain.

”Haha, kid, aren’t you afraid of trouble? I’ll create trouble for you!” Excited, Feng Hu burst into laughter.

However, before his laughter ceased, the blade had already struck the Thousand Path Shield.

Boom!

It sounded like thunder rolling.

A huge roar shook the surrounding air violently.

Yu Nong and Shang Wen Dong, already in a heated stalemate, both were covered in wounds but refused to let each other go.

Upon hearing the roar, unable to withstand the immense force, both were sent flying, crashing into the wall, nearly collapsing the stone wall in the alley.

Pfft!

Feng Hu was even more pitiful.

He felt his throat sweeten, spat a mouthful of blood, and the Thousand Path Shield in front of him shattered into pieces, dissipating quickly.

But the momentum of Ye Guichen’s Xuanqi blade didn’t lessen, slashing towards Feng Hu.

At the brink of death, Feng Hu was completely terrified.

However, being an Innate master, his reflexes kicked in. He swiftly dodged to the side.

The blade descended, crisply cutting off Feng Hu’s left arm and shoulder.

It then struck the ground behind Feng Hu, slicing a half-meter deep cut into the concrete before stopping.

Feng Hu, having narrowly escaped death, turned to see the ground behind him, his legs weak with fear, collapsing to the ground.

Earlier he had boasted to Ye Guichen about leaving a mark on the stone wall with his Xuanqi, but compared to Ye Guichen’s slash, it was child’s play.

Moreover, Ye Guichen stood two meters away.

Such distance with such power.

Feng Hu could not fathom how powerful Ye Guichen’s cultivation truly was.

Such mastery likely wasn’t within the capabilities of an Innate master.

Even Ye Guichen was mildly astonished.

After comprehending things in Jinling Prince Mansion, it was the first time Ye Guichen exerted his full strength, wanting to see the extent of his Xuanqi’s power.

This attempt revealed that the Xuanqi in his Dantian, while not more in volume, was significantly more condensed, with its killing power and fluidity far surpassing before.

”Senior Ye, have mercy!” Feng Hu, scared witless and unable to wait for Ye Guichen’s next move, already cried out, his head banging heavily on the ground: ”Senior Ye, if you spare my life, I will agree to any conditions you set, without the slightest hesitation.”
