My Silly, Sweet Wife

Guan Renwang was suspicious, and when he heard the second half of Kui Long’s sentence, he was stunned: ”What did you say? You are going to the Great Cold Mountain? Damn it, Brother Kui Long, you know what kind of place the Great Cold Mountain is. That’s a ghostly territory, and no one can get out alive. What are you going there for, and looking for the Eternal Life Hall at that? Damn it, isn’t living honestly good enough for you?”

Kui Long grinned and said, ”Second Brother, look at what you’re saying. Now that the Eternal Life Hall is appearing, and our leader is a once-in-a-millennium genius, there will certainly be no problem.”

Guan Renwang waved his hand dismissively: ”Kui Long, I didn’t expect you to change after all these years, even losing your spine. We used to drink and eat meat together in great joy. I thought you returned to assist your Second Brother, helping us rise to higher ranks in this vast desert. But all you mention is your leader. What, does he have three heads and six arms, is he the reincarnation of some divine being? Is that why you’re so willing to work for him?”

Kui Long sighed: ”Second Brother, if you insist on putting it that way, fine. In my eyes, he is indeed a godlike figure. Truth be told, there are few I admire in this life. You are one, Second Brother, and the second is my leader. Heh, back then, I thought I’d spend my life running errands for others and working as a bodyguard with my fists, never to achieve much. But since meeting the leader, I’ve realized there might be more for me. The Eternal Life Hall is just a side note; I might even find a way to freely come and go from the Great Cold Mountain in the future.”

”Oh, please!” Guan Renwang’s face darkened visibly: ”Freely come and go from the Great Cold Mountain, really! Kui Long, I think you’re bewitched by your leader. You and I know, and everyone in this whole desert knows, the Great Cold Mountain is a forbidden zone, a place of certain death. You claim to come and go freely, and really think of yourself as some immortal?”

With that, Guan Renwang also let out a long sigh: ”Brother Kui Long, I’m glad you’re back, but I find you’ve changed, becoming ungrounded. Since you trust your leader so much, fine, tell me, and I’ll send someone to kill him right away to show you what kind of person your leader really is.”

Kui Long said sternly: ”Second Brother, don’t, please don’t provoke my leader. Besides, I came this time only to ask you to guide us across this vast desert. If you provoke my leader, I’m afraid the entire Guan Mountain Gang might join him in the grave!”

”Kui Long!” Guan Renwang’s voice rose sharply as he glared at Kui Long: ”Are you still my brother? Facing outward and underestimating ourselves! Hmph, though we Guan Mountain Gang aren’t some big sect, we hold central ground in the desert, shielded by natural barriers, and many experts under us. You claim one leader can wipe us out? I think you’re just causing trouble!”

Kui Long didn’t expect Guan Renwang’s reaction to be so fierce and chuckled bitterly: ”Second Brother, if you really don’t want to help, forget it. Consider this a brotherly visit, and if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

He said, then picked up Wei Donglin to leave.

Yet Guan Renwang wouldn’t let Kui Long leave and stepped in to block him: ”Kui Long, are you really willing to abandon your Second Brother for your leader?”

Kui Long twitched his mouth: ”Second Brother, I don’t mean that, but my leader’s ways are beyond your comprehension. I actually came to introduce him to you, thinking it would be beneficial for you in the future. But since you’re so resistant, just forget about it.”

Guan Renwang raised an eyebrow: ”Kui Long, I don’t like your words. Since you’ve praised your leader so highly, today I must see him. Fine, lead the way; I want to see the man who tamed my brother Kui Long into a lapdog.”

As he spoke, he sprang to the Taishi Chair and grabbed his big knife: ”Let’s go. Take me to see him. If he can withstand three moves from my blade, I’ll let you leave. Otherwise, don’t blame your brother for not warning you; a leader who can’t impress me will feed the wolves in this desert.”

Kui Long wanted to stop him, but facing Guan Renwang’s unquestionable gaze, he could only shake his head helplessly: ”Second Brother, you’re really too impulsive.”

”Hurry up and lead the way!” Guan Renwang directly took three hundred men, asking Kui Long to guide them to find Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen was unaware that his arrival was stirring up an undercurrent in the entire desert.

As they continued walking into the desert, the number of Desert Wolves following them increased.

After half a day, they numbered over a hundred.

Wu Nuannuan’s face had long since turned pale with fear, sticking close to Ye Guichen.

Gongsun Fengying and Luo Huasheng each held a long stick, furrowing their brows, bodies tense, as if facing a major enemy.

”Brother Ye, what do we do? At this rate, we might not even be able to sleep!” Luo Huasheng, though unafraid of wolves, found them as persistent as skin plasters, and more and more of them. At this rate, there was no way to kill them all cleanly.

Ye Guichen hadn’t expected his warning would be of no use.

Moreover, these Desert Wolves seemed unwilling to give up unless they devoured them.

”No problem, just keep moving forward. We’ll discuss it after we meet up with my people.” Ye Guichen said calmly.

”Your people?” Gongsun Fengying was startled: ”Who are your people?”

”I sent people to find Mr. Guan, and there should be news soon.” Ye Guichen explained.

Zhu Yan’s eyes widened suddenly: ”Mr. Ye, you sent people to find Mr. Guan? You know Mr. Guan?”

Ye Guichen shook his head: ”I don’t know him, but my people do.”

Zhu Yan was somewhat puzzled: ”As far as I know, Mr. Guan is chivalrous but extremely eccentric. I previously tried to get in contact with Mr. Guan, but he completely ignored me. You, your people, actually know Mr. Guan? Is the relationship good? If not, then...”

Ye Guichen, aware of Zhu Yan’s concerns about attracting trouble with Mr. Guan before dealing with the Desert Wolves, smiled faintly: ”I don’t know if it’s good or not, but he said he was once brothers with Mr. Guan, so if Mr. Guan comes, the Desert Wolves should retreat.”

Desert Wolves preyed on Ye Guichen’s group because they had few people.

If Kui Long really brings Mr. Guan, the wolves, sensing numerous people around, will naturally leave, knowing there’s no opportunity.
