My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Wow! There’s so much food here!”

”It seems like it’s all oil!”

”Tsk tsk, we can have a full meal tonight.”

As soon as they entered the room, there were several shelves filled with various types of food.

Moreover, there were quite a few barrels by the wall, which evidently contained ship diesel.

Ever since arriving here today, most people’s food and water had been taken away, leaving them only their weapons.

However, they were all Martial Arts Masters; even though they couldn’t achieve Fasting, they could go a day or two without food without any issues.

Additionally, they planned to catch fish at sea, so they didn’t take hunger seriously.

But now, seeing the messy food, everyone couldn’t help but feel tempted.

”Everyone, fill your stomach first!” Ye Guichen ordered and then started to walk around.

This room was simply constructed using containers, presumably for this competition.

After making a round, apart from some food and drink, there was nothing but oil.

The group didn’t hesitate, starting to eat quickly as there was food available.

Ye Guichen sat beside the oil barrels, beginning to meditate.

Jiang Long grabbed a bag of chips and walked to Ye Guichen: ”Heh heh, Captain, I don’t know what your plan is, but if you let us fill our stomachs, why aren’t you eating?”

”I’m not hungry for now.” Ye Guichen shook his head, ”Tell them to take turns resting tonight. Don’t all sleep at once.”

”Huh?” Jiang Long scratched his head, ”Captain, is there some danger here?”

Ye Guichen replied uncertainly, ”I don’t know, but I feel this competition is not ordinary, being cautious won’t hurt.”

”Alright! I’ll tell them!” Jiang Long placed the chips in front of Ye Guichen without saying much and turned away.

Until midnight, everything was calm.

However, around 2 AM, a strong wind suddenly began to blow on the sea.

Jiang Long, who had been sleeping with his clothes on, was abruptly awakened by the sound of the wind.

”What’s going on? How did the wind start suddenly?” Jiang Long was shocked, looking at the sea, the waves were getting higher, and the wind was likely over ten levels.

Murong also woke up, his brows furrowed, instinctively glancing at the meditating Ye Guichen: ”Did this guy know there would be a strong wind earlier, which is why he asked us to stay overnight?”

However, thinking about it seemed unlikely.

He’s not a deity, and although there are weather forecasts, without specialized equipment, how could he predict the wind and waves by sight alone?

Still, this small incident made Jiang Long and the others secretly thankful they didn’t go to sea last night.

Wang Ying also didn’t fully believe Ye Guichen had foreseen the wind and waves, but strangely felt everything was under Ye Guichen’s control.

The wind and waves lasted until dawn.

Coming quickly and leaving quickly.

Around 7 AM, a ship appeared on the sea, it was Lu Bu who had left earlier.

Lu Bu looked wretched, with only nine out of the original ten people left on the boat.

”Damn, how could we be so unlucky!”

Once ashore, Lu Bu’s face was dark and terrifying.

Previously, they had seized a ship but struggled through the wind and waves, barely holding on due to their skills, but the oil consumption was extremely severe, making it impossible to reach Atlantis Island.

Su Mu and Gongsun Fengying faced similar situations.

Gongsun Fengying had seized the largest ship and was slightly better off, without damage but the oil was nearly depleted.

Su Mu’s boat was similar to Lu Bu’s, the people on board looked wretched but there was no loss.

Gradually, within half an hour, six of the seven organizations that had gone out returned.

Everyone looked dejected, except for Su Mu and Gongsun Fengying’s teams, others had more or less suffered damages.

Seeing those people’s despondent state, Jiang Long and the others couldn’t help but feel pleased.

”Boss, heh heh, you are truly wise! Whatever orders you give next, I will absolutely obey. If anyone dares not to comply, I’ll smash their head with my copper hammer!” Jiang Long ran excitedly to Ye Guichen, expressing his loyalty, with his address for Ye Guichen changed inadvertently.

If they had gone to sea last night, their situation would not be much better than Lu Bu’s team.

Ye Guichen nodded lightly: ”Go call Gongsun Fengying, I have something to discuss with her.”

”Alright!” Jiang Long didn’t ask the reason and quickly called Gongsun Fengying over.

Gongsun Fengying came forward with a dark expression, her beautiful face showing hostility: ”What do you want?”

Ye Guichen folded his arms: ”How about we make a deal?”

”What deal?”

”I supply oil for your boat and you take us to Atlantis.”

”Oil?” Gongsun Fengying was startled: ”You have oil?”

Ye Guichen pointed to the corner: ”A lot.”

Gongsun Fengying’s eyes widened: ”How did you know there was oil here?”

”Guessed!” Ye Guichen shrugged, pointing at the various packaged food in the room: ”I can share these foods with you too, on the condition that you trade them for something else. Of course, if you don’t want to trade, we’ll use the oil to get a storage room and take these foods on the boat, so we won’t be bored if we can’t find Atlantis quickly.”

Gongsun Fengying’s face turned red with anger, ”What if I refuse?”

”Whatever.” Ye Guichen smirked, ”If you think your boat can find Atlantis without oil, then don’t agree.”

”You...” Gongsun Fengying had never been so coerced before, wanting to strangle Ye Guichen, but couldn’t forcibly take the oil as per the rules since Ye Guichen had found it first.

”Fine!” Gongsun Fengying hesitated briefly but agreed.

Unable to deal with Ye Guichen now, once at sea, all rules would become illusions and everything would be based on capability, who would dare coerce her then!

With this thought, Gongsun Fengying suppressed her anger and began moving the oil and food.

Jiang Long and others were completely convinced, worshiping Ye Guichen to the point of almost kneeling.

Meanwhile, about ten miles from the dock, a large war vehicle was concealed under the vegetation.

Inside sat over ten people.

Wang Chaoyang and Duan Nanye were among them.

All these people were the leaders from the eight organizations.

Including the spokesperson who had previously announced the rules and tasks.

In front of them was a huge screen, showing nine real-time footage of the dock area.

”Boss Bai, did that kid know there would be a storm at sea and that there was oil and food in that room?” Someone looked at the spokesperson in surprise.

”Heh heh, interesting.” Boss Bai smiled faintly, looking at Wang Chaoyang and Duan Nanye, ”This time, Dragon Teeth seems to have gained the upper hand, this year you might have a chance to win.”

”Huh, I think it’s just luck.”

”Exactly, does he think he can predict the weather?”

Someone grumbled, feeling Ye Guichen was just lucky.

Two people with yellow faces watched Ye Guichen and others leave and tentatively asked, ”Boss Bai, with such a storm, won’t our Qinglei Garden elites be in trouble?”

Qinglei Garden, one of the eight organizations.

These words made everyone’s faces turn grim.

Such a storm, if Qinglei Garden had only seized a small boat and hadn’t returned, it could mean serious trouble.

Originally, they thought it was just a competition, even if they didn’t rank, it wouldn’t end in a complete wipeout.

But now, the competition had just started and ten elites had perished completely, making the atmosphere somber.

Everyone felt uneasy.

Wang Chaoyang and Duan Nanye exchanged glances and tentatively asked, ”Boss Bai, is this competition really just about going to Atlantis Island to eliminate the leader named Caesar?”
