My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Sect Master, did you sense it?”

Seeing Ye Guichen look up toward the tree crown, Long Yuntai’s eyes lit up: ”It’s as expected, you have a natural sensitivity to spiritual energy.”

Ye Guichen asked, ”What is that thing?”

”I don’t know exactly because I can’t get within three meters of it. Earlier, I tried to approach that thing, but as soon as I got within three meters, it felt like a terrifying force blocked me, preventing any further approach.”

”However, if my guess isn’t wrong, it could very likely be a spiritual energy sphere formed by the Taiji Fiery Fire Formation suppressing Yin Souls for years. As for what it specifically is, I am not certain.”

”I initially wanted to try using the Soul Refining Flag and then return for a detailed study, but it seems this thing might be intended for you, Sect Master.”

Ye Guichen ignored Long Yuntai’s flattering remarks: ”Then I’ll go up and try.”

Saying this, Ye Guichen was already airborne, climbing toward the tree crown.

Long Yuntai was shocked: ”Sect Master, be careful, if you suddenly approach, you might get hurt.”

After all, it’s a powerful Taiji Fiery Fire Formation, and since it’s the eye of the formation, even grandmasters could be instantly reduced to ashes if they accidentally touch it.

However, as Long Yuntai shouted, Ye Guichen had already reached the tree crown.

With a leap, he entered the tree crown, disappearing from Long Yuntai’s view.

Long Yuntai’s heart leapt to his throat.

After hesitating for a moment, Long Yuntai quickly moved forward, trying to follow Ye Guichen.

But just as his hands touched the trunk, it was as if he was attacked by a hot sensation.

Long Yuntai felt burning pain on his face, forcing him to quickly release his grip and retreat to the edge of the well, where the sensation eased.

”What’s happening? Why doesn’t the Sect Master react?” Long Yuntai was astonished, but knowing he probably couldn’t enter the tree crown, he had to look up, waiting for Ye Guichen.

Meanwhile, Ye Guichen was already above the tree crown.

From below the tree looking up, and from above looking down, the sight was entirely different.

The tree crown seemed like a huge bird’s nest, forming a semi-arc shape, with a fist-sized glowing white sphere at the center.

The spiritual energy emanated from this sphere.

Ye Guichen slowly approached the sphere, but at about three meters, just like Long Yuntai described, it felt as if an invisible barrier blocked him, unable to move forward.

Moreover, a hot sensation hit him.

Ye Guichen was amazed, suddenly using the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique.

The cultivation technique extended from his hands into the invisible barrier in front of him.

The barrier seemed to shudder, emitting a rumble, and suddenly vanished without a trace.

”Hmm?”

Could it be that the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique has such miraculous effects?

While Ye Guichen was startled, he realized this thing might be related to suppressing numerous Yin Souls, and the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique seemed specifically for suppressing them.

This might be the reason why Ye Guichen, possessing the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, felt a connection to that object.

He slowly approached the fist-sized sphere.

Ye Guichen reached out to touch it, but as soon as he made contact, he withdrew quickly from the burning sensation.

Looking at his hand, Ye Guichen was shocked to find it burned.

It’s known that Ye Guichen’s body was stronger than a Cross Training Master, unaffected by ordinary blades, let alone burning.

Yet now, he was severely burned.

”What is this thing?”

Ye Guichen grew more curious, looking around for a branch or something to use.

Instinctively recalling the black wooden stick he took from the Medicine King Valley’s warehouse earlier.

Ye Guichen still had it strapped to his waist, not putting it down.

Since he dared not touch the sphere with his hand, he decided to try using the black stick.

Thinking this way, Ye Guichen took out the black stick, gently touching the sphere.

Whoosh!

Like a breeze, at the instant stick met sphere, a faint humming sounded.

Then something even more astonishing to Ye Guichen occurred; the sphere’s glow dimmed instantly, as if the stick absorbed something, lightly trembling twice, sprouting a barely noticeable small bud near the sphere.

”What’s going on?”

Ye Guichen touched again with the stick.

At first, with more touches, the sphere gradually dimmed, its glow completely vanishing eventually, revealing a slightly smaller sphere than a fist.

Yet the stick sprouted a green shoot about a centimeter long.

Ye Guichen clearly sensed the spiritual energy seemed absorbed by the stick, now holding it not only felt cool, but spiritual energy trickled into his body, providing an extraordinarily comfortable sensation.

”So miraculous.”

Ye Guichen had never encountered this, examining the sphere carefully, it resembled an egg.

Trying a couple more touches, he found it no longer had any heat.

Ye Guichen tried picking the sphere up.

As soon as he did, the entire tree began to shake violently.

Long Yuntai urgently shouted from below: ”Sect Master, quickly come down, the tree is going to fall!”

Ye Guichen felt the tree sinking beneath him urgently.

Knowing he couldn’t linger, he quickly stood up, jumping down from the crown.

Just as he landed, he saw the tree collapse into the well.

As the tree sank, the well’s water bubbled and churned violently.

Almost as if boiling.

Not long after, a whirlpool formed in the center of the well.

Within a blink, the whirlpool spun fast, sucking all the water inside.

The well dried up completely, as if deprived of moisture for ages.

With the well’s drying, the surroundings began to change, the dense vegetation seemed drained lifeless, turning yellow, withering rapidly.

The rapid withering spread outward.

”What’s happening here?”

Even Long Yuntai was astonished, gape-mouthed: ”Sect Master, what on earth did you do?”

Ye Guichen was equally puzzled, waving the sphere at Long Yuntai: ”There was only this thing up there.”

Long Yuntai stared at it for a long time, unable to discern anything: ”This looks like an egg to me, Sect Master, could something hatch from inside it?”

Ye Guichen shook his head, uncertain of what it was but confident it was valuable, ”Let’s leave here and discuss it elsewhere.”
