My Silly, Sweet Wife

Even Hua Xiangrong and Gongyang Lang looked at Ye Guichen with completely changed expressions.

There was even a hint of flattery in their eyes.

That’s right!

It was a kind of flattering that bordered on sycophancy.

What does concocting a four-grade pill mean?

Even the Sect Master of Penglai’s Dan Sect could not make such a pill.

Moreover, within the hidden sects, this is a master among masters.

Undoubtedly, it’s a big thigh to cling onto.

Setting aside Ye Guichen’s cultivation, even if Ye Guichen had no cultivation, just by relying on his alchemy, he could effortlessly recruit a large number of experts to his side.

After all, pills are indispensable, even crucial, for cultivators, especially Qi Refiners.

Suddenly, strange thoughts arose in many people’s minds.

This Son of Nether Emperor seems to have many advantages, huh?

Hua Xiangrong’s thoughts also changed.

At this moment, noises erupted outside: ”Someone is coming!”

Soon after, the sounds of shouting and killing started.

Hua Xiangrong took a deep glance at Ye Guichen, said nothing, and instead told Gongyang Lang, ”Let’s go!”

Gongyang Lang quickly secured the pills, bowed to Ye Guichen, ”Stay here, don’t go anywhere. With me around, no one will take you away!”

Although these words were not explicit, they were akin to a pledge of loyalty to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen nodded lightly, ”Okay!”

Then, he sat down leisurely.

The shouting and killing outside grew more intense.

The people of the Seven Kings quickly stormed the island in the lake, but were quickly discovered by Hua Xiangrong’s people, who began to engage them.

The Seven Kings’ people did not want a prolonged fight; they only wanted to capture Ye Guichen, but Hua Xiangrong’s people were persistent, giving them no opportunity.

As a result, after a tangled fight, many of the attackers were already dead or injured.

”Damn it, Hua Xiangrong, are you really going to obstruct us completely?” an ominous voice asked Hua Xiangrong, ”Do you know, if you keep blocking us, you’ll trap yourself in this. Your years of peace in Ghost Market will be broken; think carefully!”

The implication was clearly threatening.

The Seven Kings refrained from attacking Hua Xiangrong, only because Hua Xiangrong was not involved in the hidden sects’ matters.

However, if Hua Xiangrong decided to get involved in the hidden sects’ affairs, the Seven Kings would not stand by idly.

Hua Xiangrong looked at the speaker and shook her head gently, ”Go die!”

A silver spear suddenly appeared in her hand.

The silver spear in Hua Xiangrong’s hand thrust directly at her opponent.

Her opponent was also an expert, with similar cultivation to Hua Xiangrong’s, but his mind wasn’t focused here. He quickly retreated while swinging his large knife, trying to temporarily avoid Hua Xiangrong’s edge.

However, Hua Xiangrong hadn’t survived in Ghost Market for years by being weak; she had thousands of people under her command.

On this island alone, she had several hundred people.

They quickly blocked the attackers, giving them no chance to escape.

”Brothers, we can’t fight separate battles. This Hua Xiangrong wants to keep us here forever!”

Suddenly, an angry shout rang out.

A black-clad figure tore the black veil off his face, ”I am Chu Huai Nan, brother of King Chu, here representing him today. But the situation has exceeded our expectations; if we fight separately, there’s only one way out: death.”

In this short period, over a hundred people had secretly infiltrated the island.

Chu Huai Nan was among them.

Besides Chu Huai Nan, people from the other four kings, not including King Qin and Yan King, had also joined in.

Originally, they planned to hide their identities, and even if they couldn’t capture Ye Guichen, they hoped to retreat without revealing themselves.

But after the confrontations, they all understood that Hua Xiangrong seemed intent on wiping them out.

If they fought alone, with only a few dozen people, they wouldn’t be able to handle Hua Xiangrong’s hundreds.

But if they united, perhaps they might stand a chance.

”Alright, Brother Huainan, since you’ve stepped up, we King Qi’s people will also join you and kill this Hua Xiangrong woman today!”

”That’s right, we King Han’s people will join too!”

”Our King Zhao’s people agree!”

Soon, centered around Chu Huai Nan, over a hundred people gathered together.

Surrounding them were Hua Xiangrong’s hundreds.

Hua Xiangrong held her long spear, sneered, ”Chu Huai Nan? Haha, I didn’t expect King Chu would go all out. Were you the one who launched the sneak attack earlier?”

As Hua Xiangrong spoke, she pointed the spear tip at Chu Huai Nan.

Chu Huai Nan knew denying it was useless, snorted coldly, ”That’s right, you’ve been living freely in Ghost Market, but now you want to meddle in the hidden sects’ matters? Today, I will represent the hidden sects to kill you, to teach you some affairs are not yours to meddle in!”

”Really?” Hua Xiangrong wore a playful look, clearly not believing they could kill her.

At this point, Gongyang Lang spoke up, ”Everyone, it seems you’re really foolish! Haven’t you noticed something off today?”

Chu Huai Nan and others were taken aback, not understanding, ”What’s off?”

”Haha, King Qin’s people haven’t shown up at all.” Remembering Ye Guichen’s advice, Gongyang Lang smirked teasingly.

Ye Guichen was definitely a cunning little fox.

Before this, Ye Guichen specifically told Gongyang Lang, if anyone dared infiltrate the island, they must find a way to isolate King Qin.

And the method of isolation was simple: to make everyone aware that King Qin was actually up to no good.

Chu Huai Nan and the others, upon hearing this, immediately looked around, and soon found King Qin’s people hadn’t appeared.

Inadvertently, suspicious expressions appeared on their faces.

Someone exclaimed, ”Not only King Qin’s people are absent, Yan King’s people are too.”

”Haha, you should have known long ago that Yan King doesn’t have much ambition for the Son of Nether Emperor, and now with Yan King’s power weakest, even if he captured the Son of Nether Emperor, he couldn’t keep him. Why get involved?” Gongyang Lang continued, unhurried.

Chu Huai Nan puzzled, ”What are you trying to say?”

”It’s nothing much, just want to tell you the truth, lest you die unaware,” Gongyang Lang paused deliberately, observing all eyes on him before continuing, ”Actually, King Qin promised us benefits long ago and left with the Son of Nether Emperor this morning.”

”What!”

Upon these words, chaos erupted around.

Someone questioned, ”Nonsense! If the Son of Nether Emperor left, why is King Qin’s subordinate Feng Wuxiu still competing?”

Gongyang Lang shook his head gently, sighing, ”It’s just a façade. Haha, you’re truly stupid; our Lord Demon King not only handed over the Son of Nether Emperor but also reached an agreement with King Qin to keep all of you trapped in Ghost Market, eradicating your spies here.”
