My Silly, Sweet Wife

With a plan in mind, Ye Guichen followed the tracks of the group from the Dongfang Family.

Chu Liuxiang was regretting deeply now, but due to pride, he couldn’t say a word, so he just followed behind Ye Guichen.

After walking for a short time, the two quickly discovered several corpses.

A group of wild dogs was feasting around these corpses.

Each of those wild dogs was as big as a small calf, and upon seeing Ye Guichen and Chu Liuxiang approaching, they immediately raised their heads, baring their teeth at them.

Chu Liuxiang, terrified, spun around to flee, but the way was quickly blocked by more wild dogs.

These wild dogs revealed their sharp teeth—there were at least twenty, focusing all their attention on Ye Guichen and Chu Liuxiang.

”These... each of these wild dogs has the cultivation level of an Innate master; Brother Ye, the White Mist Valley is even more dangerous than rumored, what should we do?” Chu Liuxiang asked while holding an iron fan and speaking incoherently.

Ye Guichen remained silent. Seeing the wild dogs rushing at him, he stamped his foot forcefully and directly unleashed the fifth level of Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, ”World in Ruin”.

In an instant.

The wild dogs within five meters of him lost their vitality mid-air and plopped to the ground.

The remaining ten or so wild dogs looked at Ye Guichen and Chu Liuxiang strangely, their eyes full of dread.

Ye Guichen showed no intention of holding back; he swung the Immortal Slayer Sword and swiftly charged forward, slaying the remaining wild dogs.

A few wild dogs, sensing the unfavorable situation, turned and fled with whimpering cries.

Seeing Ye Guichen cleanly eliminate so many wild dogs, Chu Liuxiang’s expression completely changed.

Especially the domineering foot stamp, it made Chu Liuxiang’s eyes sparkle.

”Brother Ye... no, Brother Ye, who exactly are you? What on earth was that foot stamp just now? Was that the legendary magic technique, also known as the ultimate move?” Chu Liuxiang’s expression changed completely, filled with admiration.

Ye Guichen smiled, glanced at Chu Liuxiang, walked over to the bodies, and squatted down to inspect them.

There were a total of four bodies, three had already died completely, all killed by the wild beasts, but one body had its stomach bitten open with intestines exposed, yet it still had consciousness, which made Ye Guichen marvel at the power of life.

”Save me, save me...” Seeing people, the person stretched out a hand in a muddled consciousness, overwhelmed by a desire to survive.

Ye Guichen was no saint, he had no intention of saving him but instead asked, ”Did you find Dongfang Yue?”

The person’s voice was weak and intermittent, ”Our Dongfang Family has tracking skills, we have... Lady Yue’s traces, but Lady Yue seems to be in trouble, Elder Dongfang Feng has gone to find her, quickly, quickly save...”

Ye Guichen raised his sword and without the slightest hesitation beheaded the person.

Chu Liuxiang shuddered in fear, ”Brother Ye, what are you doing? He wasn’t even dead, why did you kill him?”

”He’s too gravely injured, even if not killed, he wouldn’t live much longer anyway. Plus, in this situation, do you think he can be saved?” Ye Guichen stood up, squinted ahead yet smirked at the corners of his mouth.

Chu Liuxiang fell silent: ”So what should we do next?”

Seeing Ye Guichen’s ruthless means, Chu Liuxiang had now completely become Ye Guichen’s follower.

Ye Guichen remained silent.

In his mind, he was contemplating that person’s words.

The Dongfang Family was exerting such force to find Dongfang Yue, could there be some other secrets involved?

And is Dongfang Yue aware of how dangerous the White Mist Valley is, is she foolish for rushing in?

Ye Guichen vaguely sensed that something unknown was happening.

”Let’s go, we continue forward.” Ye Guichen hesitated slightly, then continued to follow the tracks of the Dongfang Family.

This time, the pace quickened.

Originally, those beasts lurking nearby, seeing Ye Guichen easily eliminate the wild dogs, knowing they were no match for him, retreated one by one.

Though Chu Liuxiang wasn’t a Qi Refiner, his speed was indeed quick.

Ye Guichen couldn’t help but curiously ask, ”Chu Liuxiang, where did you learn your cultivation technique? How come you are so fast?”

Chu Liuxiang sheepishly replied, ”Hehe, although the Chu Family has declined, our ancestors left behind some things. This cultivation technique is called Swift Transformations—it allows for journeys of a thousand miles a day. I’ve never been talented, my father said I’m no match for others in a fight, only good to escape, forcing me to practice this Swift Transformations technique. Never expected I’d learn it as if naturally. I’ve now practiced to the seventh level. Hehe, if I truly want to run, not even a Qi Refiner can catch up to me.”

”Ah, it is a bit embarrassing; back then, when my father saw me like this, he said I wasn’t made for cultivation, rather a genius at escaping, so he didn’t pay much attention to me and focused on my other brothers instead. Just trying to be noticed by the family, I sneaked into the Dongfang Family.”

”Actually, I’m aware that many geniuses vie to be Dongfang Family’s son-in-law; I don’t hope to be their son-in-law but just want to achieve something and be valued by the family. Yet, unexpectedly… sigh… best not to mention it, Brother Ye, you’ve had a laugh at my expense.”

Ye Guichen was unexpectedly moved by Chu Liuxiang.

On the surface, carefree and jolly, yet also ostracized.

”By the way, Brother Ye, if it weren’t for you in the iron cage, I might have died already. If you wouldn’t mind, I’d be happy to teach you this Swift Transformations technique later?”

Chu Liuxiang suddenly looked at Ye Guichen warmly.

Ye Guichen gained a little admirer; he was quite interested in the Swift Transformations he mentioned.

Though he was a Qi Refiner now, if facing real experts, he might indeed not escape.

Having this escape technique could offer self-protection even against real masters.

”Haha, sure, since you are so generous to teach me your family’s cultivation technique, I certainly won’t be stingy; I’ll surely give you things beyond expectation.”

Ye Guichen hadn’t figured out how to repay Chu Liuxiang yet, but felt that just with his skills, a few pointers or some pills would be enough to repay the favor.

Chu Liuxiang nodded vigorously, ”Brother Ye, from today on, you’re my big brother. Let’s go along, I’ll share the basic tenets of this technique with you.”

Ye Guichen didn’t refuse further.

The two walked while remaining vigilant.

Chu Liuxiang truly had a decent mastery of Swift Transformations, explaining it thoroughly.

Ye Guichen had extremely strong comprehension; he understood nearly as Chu Liuxiang spoke once.

”Leave, get away, scram!”

While walking and talking, suddenly they heard a voice howl from ahead.

The voice sounded familiar; it was none other than Yan Liang from before.

Ye Guichen smiled lightly, gestured Chu Liuxiang to keep silent, and quietly moved towards the direction of the voice.
