My Silly, Sweet Wife

Seeing Hua Xiangrong not move, Chu Huai Nan lowered the knife in his hand a bit further: ”What, not obeying? Hehe, if you don’t obey, then this knife may not have eyes!”

Hua Xiangrong’s mouth twitched twice, knowing there was no way out.

Moreover, the original intention was to kill these people, so with a slight hesitation, he gently nodded.

Hua Xiangrong’s subordinates exploded into action, slashing at everyone except Chu Huai Nan.

Those people cursed Chu Huai Nan for being despicable and had to reluctantly resist.

But Hua Xiangrong’s power was overwhelming, and despite some casualties, he ultimately slaughtered them all.

The smell of blood at the scene grew more intense.

”Alright, I’ve done what you said, can you let me go now?” Hua Xiangrong spoke again, seeing there were no survivors.

”Let you go?” Chu Huai Nan chuckled: ”If I let you go so easily, wouldn’t it be too simple? Tell me, how long have King Qin’s men been gone with the Netherworld Emperor’s son, and which path did they take? If you can obediently lead me to find the person, I won’t treat you poorly. Hehe, I can take you to my Marquis Mansion, ensuring a life of comfort for you.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiangrong looked at Gongyang Lang, not knowing how to respond.

Gongyang Lang bit his teeth, glaring at Chu Huai Nan, wanting to seize the chance to strike.

However, Chu Huai Nan’s skills were higher than theirs, making it impossible to find many flaws.

For a master like Chu Huai Nan, if not for their numbers, it would be impossible to hold him.

”Clap clap clap!”

Suddenly, the sound of clapping echoed.

Ye Guichen walked out leisurely.

Upon seeing Ye Guichen, Gongyang Lang and Hua Xiangrong’s pupils shrank abruptly.

”Why does this guy dare to come out, is he here to die?”

Gongyang Lang and Hua Xiangrong both felt as if Ye Guichen’s brain had been kicked by a donkey; the situation wasn’t right, what was he doing out here when he wasn’t even qualified as a Qi Refiner?

Moreover, the appearance of Ye Guichen directly exposed their previous lies, didn’t it?

At the sight of Ye Guichen, Chu Huai Nan was also stunned, then burst into laughter: ”Oh, isn’t this the son of Nether Emperor? Pleasure to meet you, indeed extraordinary!”

Ye Guichen’s appearance had long been drawn and circulated by those with interest.

So it wasn’t surprising that Chu Huai Nan recognized Ye Guichen at a glance.

Ye Guichen smiled slightly, showing no trace of panic, looking at the corpses on the ground, he said: ”Chu Huai Nan? Marquis Chu? Hehe, you really have good means, I didn’t expect King Chu to value me so much, I truly feel honored!”

”Haha, since you know King Chu values you, then obediently come back with us, don’t worry, King Chu won’t treat you poorly!” Chu Huai Nan spoke, gesturing to his subordinates.

Chu Huai Nan’s men immediately surrounded Ye Guichen.

”What are you doing!” Gongyang Lang was shocked, but it was impossible to stop it.

He might not care about Hua Xiangrong’s fate, but Hua Xiangrong was a Great Demon King; once dead, his men would surely become chaotic, making the situation even harder to control.

But concerning Ye Guichen’s fate, Gongyang Lang cared more than anyone now.

The reason being, Ye Guichen was the only hope for his survival.

Even with the Pei Yuan Pill in hand, there would come a time when it was consumed.

Once the Pei Yuan Pill is gone and the Dantian hasn’t fully recovered, life span wouldn’t be much longer.

So now, Gongyang Lang unconsciously regarded Ye Guichen as his lifeline, valuing him above anyone else.

Chu Huai Nan laughed: ”What am I going to do? Hehe, isn’t it obvious? Just now, I was almost fooled by you all, I wondered when King Qin became so patient for a performance. Now it seems it was just your ploy for discord! Tsk tsk, I underestimated you all, but this move has been self-defeated by Ye Guichen himself, haha, haha!”

By saying Ye Guichen, Chu Huai Nan referred to him as the self-defeating party.

Now Ye Guichen looked like an arrogant, brainless son of the Nether Emperor in everyone’s eyes.

Hiding well, no one would have discovered, possibly bluffing through, but he ran out, bringing himself as an offering?

However, the less intelligent, the easier to control.

Chu Huai Nan felt much more at ease, and said to Ye Guichen: ”Young Master, King Chu has always been brooding over the past, now with King Qin causing chaos, our King Chu, for Young Master’s safety, sent me to actually bring Young Master back to restore the grandeur of the Nether Emperor’s past!”

While speaking, the title changed too.

If someone didn’t know the inside story, it would easily link Chu Huai Nan with being a loyal minister.

Chu Huai Nan was indeed striving to play a loyal minister now, especially to the Nether Emperor, repeatedly calling Young Master, to let Ye Guichen lower his guards.

Ye Guichen fully understood Chu Huai Nan’s intention, seemingly deceived by Chu Huai Nan’s loyalty, his face showed a realization: ”If so, then I might as well comply. How about troubling Marquis Chu to lead me back to the Hidden Door?”

Chu Huai Nan was taken aback.

Damn, could it be this easy to fool?

Was the son of Nether Emperor not only a fool but also an idiot?

Inwardly mocking, Chu Huai Nan was more ecstatic, as long as Ye Guichen cooperated, it was perfect.

”Good good good, Young Master, your words are orders, how dare I disobey!” Chu Huai Nan gestured to his men.

Two of his men immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ye Guichen’s arms.

”Young Master, for your safety, these people must guard you constantly, until you return safely to King Chu, you wouldn’t mind, would you?”

”Of course I wouldn’t mind!” Ye Guichen pointed at Hua Xiangrong: ”She has been quite attentive towards me during this time, let her go.”

Chu Huai Nan sneered internally, thinking: ”Kid, you really see yourself as the son of the Nether Emperor, the Young Master of my Marquis Mansion huh. Tsk, I call you Young Master out of courtesy, and now you want to command?”

With a smile on his face: ”Young Master, Ghost Market here isn’t safe, with Hua Xiangrong around, it’s a bit safer. There are many dangers in this world that Young Master might not be aware of. But rest assured, as soon as we leave Ghost Market, if Young Master asks me to release her, I will immediately!”

He implied refusal with these words.

Ye Guichen pretended not to notice Chu Huai Nan’s hypocritical manner, and pondered for a moment, seemingly finding some logic in Chu Huai Nan’s words, then nodded slowly: ”Alright, let’s listen to Marquis Chu, and speak after leaving Ghost Market!”

Their conversation was like a master and servant dialogue.

Gongyang Lang and Hua Xiangrong’s group looked on, dumbfounded.

What was going on?

What was Ye Guichen doing?

Previously wanting to fight King Chu’s men, vowing no survivors, how come now they’re so affectionately close, just shy of kneeling and crying out ’Long live the Nether Emperor’, while the other pats the head saying ’rise, my dear vassal’?
