My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ye Guichen naturally did not know the thoughts of others.

He was now fully focused on gripping the Ghost Bird King’s claws.

He had to admit, this Ghost Bird King had immense strength and remarkable endurance, stubbornly enduring a deadlock with Ye Guichen for over ten minutes.

Ye Guichen also knew that even if the Ghost Bird King did not possess the phoenix bloodline as Yang Hongfu claimed, staying in the Spiritual Energy-rich Falling Immortal Valley for a long time surely would have developed its Spiritual Sense.

Ye Guichen even wondered if the Ghost Bird King’s current size had anything to do with Falling Immortal Valley.

In the past, Ye Guichen maintained a skeptical attitude towards the existence of cultivators.

But now, he believed seven to eight parts of it.

Especially after seeing the female corpse in the Su Family’s dry well, even though it had been several hundred years, it still looked vividly alive, like a living person, which ordinary people could never achieve, no matter how good anti-decay techniques they used.

The only possibility is that the cultivator’s body has undergone earth-shattering changes during cultivation, completely detached from the ordinary cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death.

”Come down for me!”

Ye Guichen saw the Ghost Bird King’s strength had weakened, and its wing-flapping speed began to slow, then forcefully pushed downward.

The Ghost Bird let out a roar and its body pressed directly downward.

Ye Guichen simultaneously released his grip, flipped over in almost a blink, and directly jumped onto the Ghost Bird King’s back.

Don’t be fooled by the Ghost Bird King’s wingspan being a mere two meters, its power was astonishing, effortlessly supporting Ye Guichen.

As Ye Guichen settled on the Ghost Bird King’s back, the bird felt a loss of control, instinctively surged upward.

Ye Guichen only felt the wind whistling past his ears.

Within less than a breath, the Ghost Bird King had flown to a height of one hundred meters, its speed was terrifyingly extreme.

Seemingly recognizing Ye Guichen on its back, the Ghost Bird King quickly rotated in mid-air, trying to shake him off.

Yet no matter how it flipped and swooped, Ye Guichen remained securely mounted.

It couldn’t hurt Ye Guichen either.

Slowly, after half an hour of this, the Ghost Bird King was physically and mentally exhausted.

Ye Guichen held onto the Ghost Bird King’s neck, pressing both hands under its neck, then slowly operated the Yi Wood Evergreen technique to help the bird recover its stamina.

Feeling the Spiritual Energy flowing from Ye Guichen’s hands, the Ghost Bird King was evidently incredulous.

Then, its initial hostility began to gradually dissipate.

It seemed encouraged by something, soaring skyward again, reaching a height of one thousand meters, screeching continuously, circling for quite a while, before finally returning to the branches.

Ye Guichen released his hands, flipped off the Ghost Bird King’s back, and smilingly patted its head: ”How about following me from now on?”

The Ghost Bird King seemed to understand, not only did it not resist, but it also rubbed against Ye Guichen, showing an extraordinarily affectionate demeanor.

Ye Guichen didn’t hold back, immediately cut his finger and placed it in front of the Ghost Bird.

The Ghost Bird King hesitated slightly, then directly absorbed two drops of Ye Guichen’s blood.

The next moment, Ye Guichen immediately activated some beast-taming techniques, attempting to communicate with the Ghost Bird King.

This scene was utterly shocking to Yang Hongfu and the others.

Even Fei Hong and Black Demon were stunned.

”What did I just see? Did that guy tame the Ghost Bird King?”

”How could this be possible? Taming a ghost bird is already hard enough, how could anyone tame the Ghost Bird King?”

”What do we do next? At this point, it seems impossible to profit from this chaos, doesn’t it?”

Fei Hong and Black Demon exchanged a glance, deciding it was best to leave quickly.

Otherwise, if discovered by the Ghost Bird, it would mean certain death.

However, just as they turned around, Ye Guichen’s voice suddenly echoed from the treetop: ”Ladies and gentlemen, since you’re here, why not stay?”

Then, a pair of male and female Ghost Birds descended from the sky, directly blocking the duo’s way.

Their throats moved uneasily, bodies frozen, as if petrified.

What the hell is going on here?

They stared intently at the male and female Ghost Birds, fearing they might peck accidentally, ending their lives completely.

Ye Guichen flew down from the tree, arriving directly in front of the two.

Upon seeing Ye Guichen, the two female Ghost Birds immediately lowered their heads, revealing a terrified look as if encountering something dreadful.

If not seen with their own eyes, Fei Hong and Black Demon wouldn’t believe such a situation could occur under the heavens.

Unbelievably, this brat not only subdued the Ghost Bird King but seemingly even those female Ghost Birds feared him greatly.

Who on earth is he?

”Sneaking around here, are you from the Eternal Life Hall?” Ye Guichen bluntly asked.

At this point, Yang Hongfu and An Long also walked over.

However, upon seeing the Ghost Bird, An Long’s legs remained weak.

Yang Hongfu barely maintained composure.

Yet the woman’s soul he held frightened Fei Hong and Black Demon into shock.

”Isn’t that Guardian Bai Hu?” Although the soul was only a vague silhouette, clearly, Fei Hong and Black Demon recognized her.

Ye Guichen smirked upon hearing this: ”You do know them, huh? Haha, since this is Falling Immortal Valley, even the poison barrier keeps others from entering, only you people from the Eternal Life Hall possess such means. But I’m curious, with Eternal Life Hall suddenly emerging, seemingly with intentions to swallow the world, how about you take me to meet your Hall Master?”

”Who, who are you?” Black Demon stammered, sweat dripping from his brow.

He had abandoned any thoughts of action.

Surrounded by the Ghost Birds, a single mistake could cost him any chance to act.

Ye Guichen chuckled: ”Who am I? Haha, some say I’m the Son of the Netherworld Emperor, but whether or not I truly am awaits verification. My purpose here is to uproot the Eternal Life Hall, leaving it no chance to harm others.”

”The Son of Nether Emperor?” Fei Hong and Black Demon, upon hearing these four words, ignored everything else Ye Guichen said afterward.

”Impossible! Now, the Eternal Life Hall Master is the Son of the Nether Emperor, you, how could you...”

”Of course he’s the Son of the Nether Emperor!” At this moment, a hoarse voice arose: ”He is not only the Son of the Nether Emperor, but also the only son, your Young Master, before the Young Master, how dare you not kneel!”

With the voice’s conclusion, a Wolf King leaped swiftly before the crowd.

Seated grandly atop the Wolf King was Xuanyuan Wudi.

Upon seeing Xuanyuan Wudi, Fei Hong and Black Demon’s pupils constricted, staring incredulously at him: ”The, the Great Ming King? You, you are the Great Ming King?”
