My Silly, Sweet Wife

However, what puzzled Ye Guichen was that Lu Bu and the others from the Turtle Shell Sect and Zuo Zongsheng were all gone.

Excluding the people who had died when the shark was blown up, Ye Guichen’s Dragon Teeth still had all ten members. Adding the six remaining from the Cicada Yard, there were only sixteen people in total.

The enchanting woman didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting. Seeing that everyone had arrived, she smiled slightly and waved to Ye Guichen. ”Let’s go. King Caesar has been waiting for a long time.”

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Luo Huasheng frowned, moved closer to Ye Guichen, and whispered, ”Captain Ye, what’s going on?”

Ye Guichen whispered back, ”Everyone, be careful. No matter what happens, stay calm and listen to me.”

The members of Dragon Teeth gathered around Ye Guichen.

Luo Huasheng and the others unconsciously moved closer as well.

Ye Guichen nodded toward Wang Ying and Jiang Long, signaling them to protect Murong, then walked straight to the enchanting woman.

Murong tugged at Ye Guichen’s sleeve, wanting to stop him, but saw Ye Guichen smile at her, like flowers blooming, inexplicably calming her down.

”Be careful!” Murong whispered, feeling extremely conflicted.

For some reason, Murong felt that her heart was completely tied to Ye Guichen. Although their time together was short, this feeling was eerily strong, something she had never experienced before.

”Senior Sister Murong, let’s see what happens,” Wang Ying said, not noticing Murong’s odd behavior, cautiously reminding her.

Ye Guichen walked up to the enchanting woman. ”Since your King Caesar is so hospitable, please lead the way.”

The enchanting woman giggled and raised her hand, and the others made way.

The enchanting woman led the way, swaying her seductive hips, while the others surrounded Ye Guichen and his group on both sides.

The shore here seemed no different from most ordinary islands. Beyond the beach, there was a dense forest about a hundred meters away.

After passing through the forest and walking only a few more minutes, the scenery opened up, revealing what seemed like a lost kingdom.

The most striking sight was a giant statue.

The statue was tens of meters high, dressed in golden armor, holding a broad sword, with eyes piercing like lightning, staring in the direction Ye Guichen’s group had come from.

Although it wasn’t lifelike, its expression gave Ye Guichen’s group a sense of familiarity.

”That statue looks like Lu Bu from the Turtle Shell Sect,” someone couldn’t help but exclaim.

Luo Huasheng’s face darkened. Though he said nothing, he also noticed the resemblance.

But no one noticed Ye Guichen’s slight smirk as he took his gaze off the statue and looked around.

The place was like a large city, not only with walls but also various buildings, covering an area likely exceeding tens of thousands of square meters.

Aside from the statue, all the buildings were single-story and made of earth and stone, with no modern touches.

The enchanting woman and her companions, upon seeing the statue, showed solemn expressions, like devout worshippers, lowering their heads and kneeling to pray, murmuring as if the statue was their master.

Ye Guichen and his group remained silent.

After the enchanting woman and her companions finished their ritual, they continued to lead the way.

Entering the city, weaving through streets, they arrived at a large square beneath the statue.

The square was mostly empty, with few people, but there was someone standing in front of the statue.

That person was not unfamiliar to Ye Guichen’s group; it was Lu Bu.

However, the current Lu Bu had changed his clothing, looking almost identical to the statue behind him.

”King Caesar, the people are here!”

As soon as the enchanting woman saw Lu Bu, she knelt down, raising her hands like in worship.

Lu Bu laughed heartily, waving his hand and looking at Ye Guichen. ”Captain Ye, surprised?”

”Lu Bu! You, you are Caesar!”

Everyone was utterly shocked.

Jiang Long’s eyes widened as if seeing a ghost. The bronze hammer in his hand hummed, and he looked like he wanted to smash Lu Bu’s head.

Lu Bu shook his head. ”Wrong. I’m not Lu Bu because the original Lu Bu is long dead. I am the real Caesar!”

Caesar made no effort to hide it anymore, as if he didn’t fear Ye Guichen and the others escaping, slowly walking down the steps in front of the statue and coming to Ye Guichen. ”Captain Ye, since our first meeting, the original Lu Bu was already dead, killed by me. Not only him, but the entire Turtle Shell Sect was also wiped out by me. Haha, how about that for a trick, deceiving everyone?”

Ye Guichen didn’t deny it and nodded slightly. ”Not bad, indeed. Because different organizations aren’t familiar with each other and the leader of the Turtle Shell Sect wouldn’t have been well-known among you, a little disguise would easily deceive everyone. It’s a pity that the ten elite members of the Turtle Shell Sect ended up as casualties at your hands.”

”Haha, they were weak; they lost their lives due to their own incompetence!” Caesar laughed loudly, ignoring the furious stares from Ye Guichen’s group, still fixating on Ye Guichen. ”Captain Ye, do you know why I went to so much trouble, setting up this elaborate trap?”

Ye Guichen smiled. ”I’m all ears.”

”For my new experiment!” Caesar said proudly. ”I know that the Hua Country’s corps had long been eyeing my Atlantis and my mutants. They sent people to destroy me, but I killed them all, not only turning them into my experimental subjects and slaves but also continuously provoking them.”

”I know this competition is of great significance to the corps. Each one of you is an elite, brimming with youthful blood and self-confidence. So, I aimed for you because you are the best test subjects. If it succeeds, I, Caesar, will be invincible in the world!”

”King Caesar!”

”King Caesar!”

”King Caesar!”

The enchanting woman and the others shouted with fervor.

Jiang Long and the others clenched their fists tightly.

But Luo Huasheng remained calm, his expression unchanged, as he stepped forward and asked, ”I have a question. Since your goal was to lure us here for your experiment, why did you try to ambush us? Wouldn’t it have been easier to let us arrive smoothly?”

”Haha, at first I did plan to let you arrive smoothly, but after encountering Captain Ye, I changed my mind,” Caesar said, his eyes burning as he looked at Ye Guichen. ”Captain Ye, you are the most talented person I’ve ever met, the hardest to read. After testing you, you indeed proved your extraordinary skills, especially your control over the giant shark, which impressed me. I set those obstacles to confirm my judgment, and it seems I was right.”
