My Silly, Sweet Wife

”You just wait, you just wait!”

Lin Che didn’t expect that he couldn’t even defeat Ye Guichen. He quickly climbed up, turned, and fled in panic.

Mo Changsheng looked at Ye Guichen in surprise: ”You can fight like this?”

”Hehe, why, is it not allowed?”

Mo Changsheng shook his head: ”You’ve beaten the Demon King’s men, this is going to be a big problem.”

”Slap!”

Hua Xiangrong heard that Lin Che was beaten by Ye Guichen and suddenly slapped the table into pieces.

”What did you say? You said that kid defeated you? You must be joking!”

Lin Che hung his head low, unable to understand what exactly happened.

”Yes, it’s true. At that moment, he kicked, and I had no time to dodge.” Lin Che explained frantically: ”And he even said that if you want to see him, you should invite him personally!”

Hua Xiangrong furrowed her brow and suddenly smacked her forehead: ”Could it be that this kid has been hiding his cultivation?”

Logically, Ye Guichen had no True Qi in his body and was absolutely no match for Lin Che.

But judging from Lin Che’s account, Ye Guichen actually kicked Lin Che flying.

There’s a high probability that he hid his cultivation.

She turned to the bed and picked up Gongyang Lang: ”Is that kid also a cultivator?”

Gongyang Lang was also taken aback by their conversation, and memories of encountering Ye Guichen began flooding his mind.

Thinking back and forth, it seemed that Ye Guichen had never made a move from the start.

It’s terrifying when you think about it.

Could it be that this kid really is some kind of cultivator?

Or perhaps he’s been holding back, testing me?

”I, I don’t know.” Gongyang Lang shook his head vigorously, his mind a complete muddle.

At one point, Gongyang Lang had checked Ye Guichen’s dantian, finding no True Qi flowing. Without True Qi, it couldn’t be a cultivator.

No, he should say a practitioner.

Immortals are beings that they can only look up to.

Just to give themselves more prestige, they call themselves cultivators.

But in front of those true practicing masters, they absolutely dare not call themselves that.

Hua Xiangrong is now eager to get the Qi Boosting Pill, kicking Lin Che aside before heading directly towards the dungeon.

Arriving at the dungeon, Ye Guichen was lying there on the ground, back facing Hua Xiangrong.

Mo Changsheng stood nervously beside Ye Guichen, pacing back and forth, constantly thinking of how to explain and to get by Hua Xiangrong.

As soon as Hua Xiangrong appeared, Mo Changsheng’s old face immediately filled with a smile: ”Demon Lady, cough, Lord Demon King, under my efforts, I have finally refined the Qi Boosting Pill. Rest assured, I won’t claim credit, as long as you fulfill your promise to let me leave.”

Hua Xiangrong glanced at Mo Changsheng: ”When did I ever say I’d let you leave?”

”Uh...” Mo Changsheng said awkwardly: ”Well, three months ago, you said that as long as I refined the Qi Boosting Pill, you’d let me go.”

”Where’s the pill?” Hua Xiangrong reached her hand out to Mo Changsheng, smiling.

Mo Changsheng’s face sank immediately, pointing to Ye Guichen: ”The pill is with him.”

”Did you refine it or did he?” Hua Xiangrong asked again.

Mo Changsheng’s throat moved twice, ”I-I taught him how to refine it.”

”Get lost!” Hua Xiangrong now couldn’t be bothered to argue with Mo Changsheng, glaring at him, scared that Mo Changsheng quickly hid to the side, not daring to utter even a word.

He was utterly frightened by Hua Xiangrong.

Hua Xiangrong didn’t waste time, reaching from behind Ye Guichen to grab his shoulder, trying to pull him up.

At that moment, Ye Guichen extended a hand, holding two Qi Boosting Pills: ”If you dare touch me, I’ll immediately destroy the pills!”

Hua Xiangrong’s hand suddenly froze.

Ye Guichen slowly sat up, maintaining his composure while looking at Hua Xiangrong: ”Hehe, Hua Xiangrong, I’ve heard that if you don’t take the Qi Boosting Pill, your body will rapidly decline. Not only will you grow old and lose your beauty, but your cultivation will also decrease. Tsk tsk, why make such sacrifices, choosing to cultivate such a heaven-defying technique?”

”Kid, do you want to die?” Hua Xiangrong’s expression darkened as Ye Guichen revealed her secret: ”Don’t think I won’t kill you! I know you have some tricks, you’ve quietly and unknowingly poisoned me with the Leisurely Pill, hmph, but despite that, this is the Ghost Market, unless you have three heads and six arms, don’t think you can escape my grasp!”

Standing quietly to the side, Mo Changsheng was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

What’s the situation?

Hua Xiangrong, this demon lady, was poisoned by the Leisurely Pill?

And it was this kid who did it?

What on earth is Ye Guichen, this kid?

Nonetheless, Mo Changsheng dared not speak, nor did he dare to ask further questions, just trembling as he stood to the side, like a punished student.

Ye Guichen shook his head: ”I said, recognize me as your master, and I’ll give you benefits.”

”Kid, do you believe I’ll kill you right now!” Lin Che popped up, angrily pointing at Ye Guichen, seeming eager to vent Hua Xiangrong’s anger, though his manner was somewhat comical, using the tiger’s might.

Ye Guichen ignored Lin Che and continued speaking to Hua Xiangrong: ”You know it too, I’m the Son of the Nether Emperor, and I’ll definitely not stay here for long. Now I’m at the Ghost Market merely to investigate the Seven Kings. From what I see, they’ve already learned of my existence, and they’ll likely soon come seeking you out. By then, can you handle their pressure? That’s uncertain.”

Hua Xiangrong scoffed: ”Pressure? Haha, that’s never been relevant to me. If they dare to come asking for someone, I don’t mind asking them for some benefits. You’re a chip in my hand, here in the Ghost Market, do I truly fear them?”

Ye Guichen shook his head, his eyes seemingly penetrating through Hua Xiangrong: ”Three months ago you asked Senior Mo for the Qi Boosting Pill, proving even then your cultivation technique was starting to have problems. Three months have passed, and your body has begun to show abnormalities. Haha, though you disguise it well, the crow’s feet have started appearing at the corner of your eyes, and although you suppressed Gongyang Lang yesterday, you strained to appear calm. If your cultivation was still at its peak, would a single Leisurely Pill take you down so easily? Hua Xiangrong, in fact, you have no choice but to cooperate with me, or perhaps only face death!”

Hua Xiangrong subconsciously took two steps back, looking at Ye Guichen in shock: ”How, how did you know?”

Ye Guichen didn’t continue to explain: ”I can provide you with the Qi Boosting Pill to stabilize your cultivation for now, just as I helped Gongyang Lang extend his life. Besides, I heard you have a real Longevity Pill here, which can be given to Gongyang Lang to further solidify his cultivation, making facing the pressure of the Seven Kings easier, isn’t it?”

”You’ve planned it all along?” Hua Xiangrong saw Ye Guichen speak so calmly, finally seemingly realizing something.

All along, Ye Guichen never resisted, was he deliberately caught to find my weaknesses?
