My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Housekeeper Hu, please forgive me! Housekeeper Hu, I didn’t mean to deceive you!”

Fang Tiancheng’s hands were tied behind his back, being dragged by Housekeeper Hu toward Jixiang Restaurant.

Housekeeper Hu looked grim, casting a glance at Fang Tiancheng: ”It’s not that I don’t forgive you, it’s that the Son of Nether Emperor doesn’t want to forgive you!”

”What?” Since Fang Tiancheng saw Ye Guichen offend Gongyang Lang, he knew Ye Guichen was doomed and grabbed the spirit stone to flee all the way to the Hidden Gate.

Originally, he thought of seeking King Qin, but after much thought, since he had ten spirit stones, he could live comfortably for the rest of his life, why live in fear?

This thought sprouted and grew rampant.

So, he quietly went to a remote place, bought a house, and even found a few beauties to serve him, preparing for a leisurely and pleasant life.

Anyway, the Son of Nether Emperor was dead, and with the Seven Kings’ struggle losing its leverage, it was about who would emerge as the winner.

Whoever won, it had nothing to do with him.

But unexpectedly, he only enjoyed such a good life for a few days before being caught by King Qin’s people.

Moreover, he was taken back to the Ghost Market.

Fang Tiancheng was confused, and no one told him after he asked numerous times.

Seeing Housekeeper Hu again now, Fang Tiancheng immediately felt as if he saw hope, begging incessantly.

But upon hearing Ye Guichen was looking for him, Fang Tiancheng was so shocked his mouth gaped open, only reacting after a while: ”Housekeeper Hu, are you kidding? Wasn’t the Son of Nether Emperor dead?”

”Dead? Haha, that’s just what you thought.” Housekeeper Hu sneered coldly but didn’t conceal anything, giving a brief account of the recent events in the Ghost Market.

Fang Tiancheng was utterly stunned: ”How is this possible? That brat had offended Gongyang Lang back then and was certainly going to die, yet he came back to the Ghost Market?”

”Not only did he come back to the Ghost Market, but the Son of Nether Emperor might have a more complex means than we imagined. Although he’s in Hua Xiangrong’s hands, there’s still a ghostly figure lurking in the shadows. It’s been nearly seven days now...”

At this point, Housekeeper Hu’s face darkened, as if recalling something suddenly.

Back then, Ye Guichen said if Fang Tiancheng wasn’t caught within a day, he would kill someone.

Seven people in total, and only now was Fang Tiancheng caught. Could it be he dared to kill all his men?

If so, that would thoroughly offend King Qin.

Without further ado, Housekeeper Hu quickly arrived at Jixiang Restaurant.

After arriving, Housekeeper Hu didn’t bother notifying anyone, bringing Fang Tiancheng to the backyard, and tossed Fang Tiancheng into the yard: ”I’ve brought the person, release them now, alright?”

No response followed.

The restaurant owner didn’t dare show himself for a long time.

Housekeeper Hu’s unease grew stronger.

He courageously pushed the door open, and the sight nearly made him faint.

”Dead, they’re all dead?”

All his spies were dead!

”Damn it!” Housekeeper Hu was too late, turning to glare venomously at Fang Tiancheng: ”That brat killed all my men! These were spies I painstakingly cultivated over many years, and now they’re all dead! If it weren’t for you, they wouldn’t have died! It’s all because of you!”

Housekeeper Hu rained punches and kicks down on Fang Tiancheng.

Fang Tiancheng could only passively defend, pleading as he was beaten: ”Housekeeper Hu, Housekeeper Hu, you said he wasn’t dead! Perhaps he is demonstrating his power to you! That kid is provoking you and King Qin!”

Housekeeper Hu finally stopped.

He coldly stared at Fang Tiancheng, causing Fang Tiancheng to swallow hard as he continued to coax: ”Housekeeper Hu, I’ve been in the secular world for a long time. Although that kid has some skills, he hasn’t reached a terrifying level. Since King Qin intends to use the opponent as leverage, we must capture him if we want revenge. Housekeeper Hu, give me a chance to redeem myself. Let me see if I can meet him, alright?”

Housekeeper Hu spoke in a sinister tone: ”What are you planning?”

”It’s like this, I once pretended to swear allegiance to him. Although I left this time, I claimed it was out of necessity, that I wasn’t really leaving but paving the way for him. If I can meet him, I have a chance to persuade him to come out. Moreover, didn’t you say he was captured by Hua Xiangrong? If Gongyang Lang is truly in cahoots with him, there might be something fishy. I can help you probe into that.” Fang Tiancheng realized he had no way out.

Even Housekeeper Hu hadn’t anticipated Ye Guichen’s ruthless methods, killing all his men.

After a long silence, he finally nodded: ”Fang Tiancheng, you deceived me once. If there’s a next time, I’ll kill you the first chance I get!”

Then, he severed the ropes binding Fang Tiancheng: ”Scram!”

Fang Tiancheng scrambled desperately to the lake island’s edge.

He took a deep breath, feeling quite conflicted.

”He really isn’t dead? Gongyang Lang didn’t kill him?” Fang Tiancheng’s mind filled with countless thoughts.

Unbelievable!

The scene of Ye Guichen courting death was vivid, yet he wasn’t dead.

Now, though, since he’s caught by Hua Xiangrong, meeting Ye Guichen won’t be easy.

Fang Tiancheng’s eyes darted around, and he approached the lakeside, pulling out a spirit stone, tucking it into a boatman’s hand: ”Brother, I’m a friend of the Great Demon King, I wish to meet the Great Demon King.”

After squandering for some time, Fang Tiancheng had only three spirit stones left from what he got from Ye Guichen.

Money makes the world go round.

The boatman quickly reported it.

Hua Xiangrong didn’t refuse, and soon met with Fang Tiancheng.

Upon seeing Hua Xiangrong, Fang Tiancheng immediately knelt with a thud: ”Lord Demon King, I am Fang Tiancheng, wishing to meet the Son of Nether Emperor, I beg you!”

As he spoke, he offered the two remaining spirit stones forward.

He knew if he didn’t complete Housekeeper Hu’s task, he wouldn’t be able to walk away with Ye Guichen, but had to find out Ye Guichen’s real status.

Otherwise, death was his only path.

”You wish to see me?” At that moment, Ye Guichen appeared behind Fang Tiancheng with a cheerful smile, his demeanor calm and collected.

”Ah?” Seeing Ye Guichen, Fang Tiancheng screamed in fright but quickly regained his calm: ”Master, Master, you’re really alive! That’s wonderful, just wonderful!”

Fang Tiancheng was full of delight, quickly realizing the current situation.

That Ye Guichen could freely appear before Hua Xiangrong was enough to confirm previous suspicions.

This Ye Guichen must have reached some agreement with Hua Xiangrong.

As for being captured by Hua Xiangrong, it was probably just a ruse.

Although he didn’t know how Ye Guichen had such great skills, in times like this, self-preservation was paramount.

”You dare come back?” Ye Guichen sneered: ”How have you been these days?”

”Hehe, Master, for your grand ambition, I returned to the Hidden Gate to gather intelligence for you.” Fang Tiancheng gave a wide smile, attempting to explain, only to be interrupted by Ye Guichen: ”Fang Tiancheng, at the time you thought I was doomed and took all my spirit stones, is that truly what you thought?”
