My Silly, Sweet Wife

The malice in Wei Donglin’s eyes seemed ready to devour Su Wu and the others whole as he clutched Wei Yuting’s corpse tightly, offering no resistance at all.

Even when Su Wu and his men attempted to drag the body away, Wei Donglin acted like a mad dog, opening his mouth to bite anyone who dared to touch her.

In the end, fearing an incident, Su Wu ordered them to take Wei Donglin along with Wei Yuting’s body and temporarily lock them up.

Meanwhile, over on the other side, Ye Guichen was rapidly pursuing Zui Baichi.

Zui Baichi moved with incredible speed, and if not for Ye Guichen’s current Grandmaster-level skills, catching up would have been difficult.

However, what puzzled Ye Guichen was that Zui Baichi didn’t flee far, instead circling around the Su Family.

Initially, Ye Guichen simply wanted to confirm Zui Baichi’s destination, but soon he lost patience.

Although Wei Yuting was dead, Wei Donglin was still alive, and it wouldn’t be hard to extract useful information from him.

”If you keep running, I won’t hold back!” Ye Guichen shouted loudly.

Outside the gates of the Su Family there was a long river known as Du Tian River.

The river wasn’t very wide, just enough for boats to pass through.

This river was an important water source for Tianzhou.

Ye Guichen stood by the riverbank, gazing across to the opposite shore.

There, a figure stood arrogantly at the river’s edge, staring back at Ye Guichen.

”You’ve been chasing me for so long and still haven’t caught up. Do you really think you can cover the skies with one hand and kill me?” The person was none other than Zui Baichi.

Zui Baichi stood on a railing by the river, balanced on one foot, holding a long sword, like a legendary swordsman.

This scene was familiar to Ye Guichen; he’d seen it many times on TV before.

Though it looked impressive, to Ye Guichen it was hardly a challenge.

Though the river spanned about ten meters, to the current Ye Guichen, it was nothing.

”I haven’t caught up to you not because I can’t, but because I choose not to!” As Ye Guichen finished speaking, he leapt into the air, diving straight into the river.

A small boat was just passing across the river.

Ye Guichen lightly tapped the boat with his toes and leapt again, soaring into the air.

”Wow, a flying man!”

”Look, is this a martial arts film?”

”Amazing! He seems to have no wires on him!”

The people on the boat exclaimed in awe, as did the onlookers on the riverbank who turned toward Ye Guichen.

Among the crowd, one person raised his eyebrows.

”That kid named Ye?” It was Kui Long, who had come to challenge Ye Guichen.

Kui Long’s presence was striking, and seeing Ye Guichen leap to the other side of the river, he too sprang into action.

The people on the boat Ye Guichen had just tapped hadn’t regained their composure, but suddenly felt the boat sink again, as if something heavy had landed on it.

Soon after, another figure leapt across to the opposite side.

”Damn, what’s happening?”

”Another figure just scared the life out of me.”

Many were left with lingering fears.

If Ye Guichen was like a leaf drifting down, Kui Long was like a giant stone crashing down on the boat, nearly sinking it with the vibration it caused.

However, this was just a side note.

After leaping across the river, Ye Guichen directly pursued Zui Baichi.

Seeing Ye Guichen chase after him again, Zui Baichi snorted coldly and turned to flee once more.

Before long, Zui Baichi found himself in a deserted alley.

He stopped running and stood in the alley, facing its entrance.

When Ye Guichen arrived, Zui Baichi stared at him like a cold and proud swordsman, ”Ye, pursuing me so relentlessly, endlessly protecting the Su Family, what exactly do they offer you? Is it just because of Su Jiu’er? With your skills, I’m sure you could find plenty of beautiful women like her.”

Ye Guichen leisurely walked into the alley: ”You are the Heavenly Kill Organization’s Zui Baichi, famous for your deadly sword strikes?”

”Haha, seems you’ve heard of my name,” Zui Baichi chuckled dismissively, ”You still haven’t answered my question.”

Ye Guichen shook his head: ”I owe you no explanation. Wei Yuting is dead, and I crippled one of Wei Donglin’s hands; he’s a ruined man now. As for you, being part of the Heavenly Kill Organization, your path ends only in death. But before you die, I’d like to know why you’re here at the Su Family. If you say it’s for the Su Family’s assets, I might believe it. But as a proud assassin of Heavenly Kill, skilled in near-invincible stealth, could the Su Family’s defenses really stop you?”

”Hahaha, you’re somewhat clever,” Zui Baichi laughed, ”Indeed, not just the Su Family—even in Capital City’s top four families, I go as I please. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be a Heavenly Kill assassin. And you’re right, I stayed at the Su Family with my own goals. But why should I tell you? Telling a dead man is pointless.”

”In that case, let’s see if your mouth is as tough as your life!” Ye Guichen was about to strike but paused suddenly.

Because another person appeared behind him, it was Kui Long.

Kui Long folded his arms, a teasing smile on his lips: ”Well, who would’ve thought? I get to see the legendary Zui Baichi today. Zui Baichi, I would’ve loved to spar with you in the past, but today, how about a deal?”

Zui Baichi squinted at Kui Long: ”Who are you?”

”Kui Long!” Kui Long stated his name plainly, ”Rest assured, I’m not your enemy today, but this kid is. However, you can’t kill him because I want to keep him alive for a public duel, to show everyone I killed him myself.”

Zui Baichi paused: ”You want to kill him?”

”Haha, he threw me out in front of so many people from the Su Family; it was humiliating. Now Shen Lian’s fate is uncertain, and if the Shen Family finds out I have no worth to them, I won’t survive long. So, Ye Guichen will be my stepping stone. You’re welcome to attack him, beat him half to death even, but his life is mine!”

”Alright! No problem!” Zui Baichi understood Kui Long’s intent, he grinned at Ye Guichen, ”Kid, did you hear that? You’ve made too many enemies. Even if you survive today, Kui Long won’t spare you. Haha, that you severed Wei Donglin’s hand in one swift move shows you have the skills to face me. But don’t mistake me for Wei Donglin. To me, Wei Donglin is still just a businessman, not a martial arts expert. Additionally, for that item, don’t think I’m alone in this. I led you in circles just to bring you here, and to think you recklessly followed. That’s truly unfortunate.”

Ye Guichen squinted, smiling at Zui Baichi: ”Oh, so you mean you have companions here?”
