My Silly, Sweet Wife

Lin Che fled in a sorry state.

However, he didn’t dare to meet the Great Demon King with this old and haggard appearance.

In the ghost market, many people felt that the Great Demon King was a messenger of justice, maintaining the surface balance of the ghost market.

But Lin Che knew the Great Demon King lived up to the name; he was a real demon king.

The Great Demon King was originally named Hua Xiangrong, and is said to be a disciple of a cultivation sect.

That cultivation sect wasn’t orthodox; although it didn’t appear in the secular world, it was a sect that practiced the art of absorption to cultivate.

Of course, simply absorbing from ordinary people meant nothing to them; they had to absorb from cultivators to aid their own training.

Yet in this world, finding a cultivator was as hard as reaching the skies, and even if found, there’s no guarantee they could be matched.

Later, Hua Xiangrong coincidentally came to the ghost market, discovering that it was the perfect place to develop her grand plans.

Although there weren’t many cultivators here, they were more than enough for Hua Xiangrong to use.

When Hua Xiangrong arrived, the ghost market was also ruled by a cultivator.

The person was not only a male but also had considerable cultivation.

But Hua Xiangrong, with her beauty, not only drained the cultivation man but also inherited the title of Great Demon King, hiding away in the ghost market.

Gradually, the title of Great Demon King fully rested on Hua Xiangrong’s head.

Through the ghost market, Hua Xiangrong gathered endless wealth and many top-level pills, and even had someone specially forge a pill called the Immortal Ascension Pill.

The function of this pill was to allow half-step immortals to ascend to the ranks of cultivators, fully transforming the mysterious energy within into spiritual energy.

Lin Che was the product catalyzed by this kind of pill.

Lin Che was once a hero-like figure, having entered the half-step immortal realm and became a leading presence.

Once, by chance, he arrived at the ghost market, met Hua Xiangrong, and due to the longing for a cultivator, he took the Immortal Ascension Pill.

From then on, Lin Che completely became Hua Xiangrong’s puppet.

Hua Xiangrong liked handsome men; to please her, Lin Che painstakingly preserved his youthful appearance, becoming a fine-looking youth, serving by her side.

But he also knew Hua Xiangrong probably liked him only to extract the spiritual energy within him for her own cultivation.

Lin Che thought of escaping.

But there was no way.

Without the Immortal Ascension Pill maintaining him, Lin Che knew he wouldn’t survive past seven days.

That thing was like an addictive poison; although his body grew weaker, his vitality grew stronger, and each time he took the pill, Lin Che felt like he became an immortal.

Gradually, Lin Che couldn’t leave Hua Xiangrong.

In his heart, Lin Che both loved and hated Hua Xiangrong.

He once thought of monopolizing Hua Xiangrong; over such a long time, he found that he really had some affection for her.

But also hatred!

Hate that Hua Xiangrong ruined him.

Otherwise, outside the ghost market, he, Lin Che, would still be a hidden world big shot, a figure whom tens of thousands of sects would worship.

Even Japan’s Iaido leader Jitian was like a subordinate before him.

But now, there’s no going back.

Back then, Gongyang Lang was the same, also among them.

However, Gongyang Lang was originally a cultivator and didn’t take the Immortal Ascension Pill, so the physical damage wasn’t severe, but after taking the Shattered Pill, his Dantian deteriorated day by day.

Honestly, Lin Che once envied Gongyang Lang for escaping, but thinking about how Gongyang Lang couldn’t live long without Hua Xiangrong’s pill support, he felt relieved.

But today, Lin Che not only saw Gongyang Lang again but felt his aura was more stable than before, not at all like someone nearing death.

”What’s going on?”

Lin Che finally found a hidden place, confirmed he wasn’t being watched, then gasped heavily, puzzled.

Did some expert help Gongyang Lang?

If there really was such an expert, could they possibly also help him break free from Hua Xiangrong?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Gongyang Lang’s Dantian damage was irreversible; in this world, no one could do such a thing.

Could it be fake?

Was Gongyang Lang just pretending?

Thinking of this, Lin Che felt it was highly possible.

He didn’t return immediately but took several pills from his pocket, swallowed them, then sat cross-legged on the spot to regulate his breath.

This adjustment took more than an hour.

As time passed, his face became fair again, transforming into a fine-looking youth.

Although this handsome appearance didn’t last long and was a façade, Lin Che liked it, and Hua Xiangrong liked it; that was enough.

”Huh...” Feeling the condition of his body, although injured, it wasn’t life-threatening.

Lin Che had to go back to prove one thing.

If Gongyang Lang was indeed barely holding on, then after this battle, he would surely be recovering now, and if Lin Che went back for a surprise attack now, Gongyang Lang would have no chance of countering.

”Yes, just do it this way!”

This time, Lin Che wasn’t careless but discreetly returned to the Jixiang Restaurant, directly jumping into the backyard.

The backyard had completely become Ye Guichen’s personal space.

Liu Fang and others were tossed around, still unconscious, while Gongyang Lang sat beside the stone table in the backyard, with a tea set placed on the table.

Opposite Gongyang Lang, a young man sat.

The two seemed to be chatting.

”Hmm? Who is this young man?” Lin Che was somewhat puzzled. Gongyang Lang didn’t interact socially and didn’t make friends, so how come he felt on equal footing with this young man?

Lin Che had countless question marks in his mind.

But now wasn’t the time to worry about these.

He crouched on the wall, observing Gongyang Lang, noticing that Gongyang Lang didn’t look hurt, feeling quite peculiar.

Facade!

Definitely a facade!

Picking up the jade hairpin given by the Great Demon King Hua Xiangrong, Lin Che threw it towards Gongyang Lang.

Swoosh!

The jade hairpin flew towards Gongyang Lang like a bullet.

But just as the hairpin was about to hit Gongyang Lang’s head, it halted mid-air.

Gongyang Lang reached out and grabbed the hairpin.

”Lin Che, if you’re not convinced, then come down!”

Gongyang Lang grabbed at a distance.

In an instant, Lin Che felt his body was restrained by some terrifying power.

Involuntarily, he fell forward, directly tumbling from the wall into the yard.

In the next moment, Gongyang Lang appeared before Lin Che.

Lin Che looked up at Gongyang Lang with terror on his face: ”You, your Dantian really wasn’t damaged?”

Gongyang Lang grinned: ”Thanks to that bitch Hua Xiangrong, my Dantian indeed was damaged, but to deal with someone like you, it’s more than enough!”
