My Silly, Sweet Wife

There were as many as six or seven giant spiders in sight.

Each of those spiders was over a meter long and entirely a cyan color.

They surrounded the area, and in their midst was a person bound by spider silk, unable to move.

Upon closer inspection, that person turned out to be Yan Liang from before.

Yan Liang was clearly injured, his face etched with terror, cursing while struggling, but to no avail.

The more he struggled, the tighter the spider silk wrapped around him.

Ye Guichen caught sight of this and involuntarily gasped.

Wasn’t this White Mist Valley just too terrifying?

There were so many magical beasts, and none of them like he’d ever seen before.

Chu Liuxiang cowered behind Ye Guichen, too frightened to breathe a word.

Those spiders had evidently decided Yan Liang was food, ignoring his shouts as they crawled slowly towards him.

”We must escape, those spiders are too terrifying. If they find us here, we’re finished!” Chu Liuxiang whispered, ”That Yan Liang is no good anyway. Him being trapped is a good thing for you; if he takes notice of you, he will definitely trouble you when we return.”

Ye Guichen thought that Chu Liuxiang had a point.

Yan Liang had brought this upon himself.

Dead is dead, after all.

He nodded slightly, signaling Chu Liuxiang to leave.

But just as Chu Liuxiang turned around, he accidentally stepped on a tree branch, producing a crisp snapping sound.

A giant spider let out a low roar, leaping from a nearby branch to land right in front of Ye Guichen and Chu Liuxiang, blocking their path.

Chu Liuxiang froze in terror, not daring to move an inch.

The spider’s eyes were like those of a reaper, fixed squarely on Ye Guichen and Chu Liuxiang, as if seeing them as a feast.

The next second, before Ye Guichen and Chu Liuxiang could even think to dodge, the spider suddenly opened its mouth and shot out a stream of silk.

The beasts in White Mist Valley seemed mutated; not only were the spiders enormous, but their silk was thick, giving Ye Guichen the impression of facing a spider demon.

The silk shot out at incredible speed, as thick as Ye Guichen’s pinky finger. If it stuck to him, escape would be difficult.

Chu Liuxiang, skilled in the art of Shifting Mirage, dashed ahead ten meters the moment the spider shot silk, unable to contain his fear, shouted, ”Brother Ye, I’m out of here, I won’t stay around! Damn, this is terrifying!”

In a blink, he disappeared.

Ye Guichen was left speechless but couldn’t afford to gripe about Chu Liuxiang.

Seeing its webbing miss, the spider quickly shifted its gaze to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen wasn’t about to give the spider another chance.

Before the spider could shoot another web, Ye Guichen slashed fiercely, cutting the spider in half.

This, however, seemed to stir up a hornet’s nest.

The remaining spiders, who had ignored Ye Guichen till now, were suddenly enraged as he had slain one of their companions.

”Squeak! Squeak!”

Accompanied by sharp screeches, the rest of the spiders rushed forward, spitting webs at Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen had no choice but to dodge desperately.

But those silk threads were stronger than those of ordinary Innate experts, not easy to cut, sticking fast wherever they landed.

A strand of silk stuck to Ye Guichen’s Immortal Slayer Sword, dragging him down with immense force, as if tied to a thousand pounds, making escape attempts futile.

In the hesitation, webs began sticking all over Ye Guichen.

His heart sank, at this rate, he’d be wrapped up as a sitting target for the spiders.

”Xuanming Prison!”

Ye Guichen lowly roared, unleashing his ultimate move.

However, those spiders were no pushovers; they were too far out, and although Ye Guichen used the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, it only slightly weakened the webs, harming no spiders.

Fortunately, this granted Ye Guichen a chance.

As the webs near him weakened, Ye Guichen managed to break free with a slight struggle.

Then, he jumped forward, slicing another spider in half with his sword.

The repeated use of the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique drained Ye Guichen’s energy significantly, causing him to pant heavily.

The remaining spiders became even more frenzied, as if they had Spiritual Sense, continually shifting positions and spitting webs at him.

Ye Guichen had no desire to continue fighting, wanting to flee, but the spiders surrounded him, offering no escape route.

Cursing the spiders inwardly for growing too cunning, Ye Guichen had no choice but to deal with them as best as he could.

During the battle, Ye Guichen retreated near to Yan Liang.

Seeing Ye Guichen, Yan Liang looked as though he saw a savior: ”Quick, release me! Brother, let me out!”

While evasively maneuvering, Ye Guichen thought about his options, ignoring Yan Liang.

Seeing no response from Ye Guichen, Yan Liang angrily shouted: ”Ye, release me immediately, or if I get loose, I’ll kill you!”

Ye Guichen couldn’t believe Yan Liang was so foolish; it was no time to act so bossy.

”Alright, since you want me dead, don’t blame me for being rude!” Murderous intent rose in Ye Guichen’s heart, and with a sudden move, he twirled the Immortal Slayer Sword around the webs binding Yan Liang.

The Immortal Slaying Heavy Sword over a meter long, wrapped now in webs after Ye Guichen’s maneuver.

Then, with intense force, Ye Guichen swung it, flinging the webs into a line, Yan Liang’s bound body closely behind.

”Alright, let’s see how you’ll kill me now!”

Ye Guichen smirked disdainfully, swinging forcefully around.

”Ahhh!”

Yan Liang screamed: ”Let go, let me go!”

”Ye, if anything happens to me, I won’t let you go!”

”Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, please let me down, I was wrong, I was wrong!”

Ye Guichen wielded Yan Liang like a whip, spinning the Immortal Slayer Sword’s hilt around his body.

Instantly, a defensive web surrounded Ye Guichen, preventing webs and spiders from coming close.

Seizing the moment, Ye Guichen flung Yan Liang outward.

Yan Liang screamed desperately as he hurtled towards another spider.

The next moment, Yan Liang collided with the spider, instantly silencing it.

Yet Yan Liang was indeed a Qi Refiner, his body tougher than an ordinary person’s, actually crushing the spider to death.

Using this opportunity, Ye Guichen wanted to avoid further entanglement with the spiders; he executed Shifting Mirage and dashed over a hundred meters away.

”Damn, I’ll return to settle the score once I regain my strength!”

Ye Guichen muttered, then used the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique to weaken the webs on his Immortal Slayer Sword.

After shaking them off, Ye Guichen sprinted over ten kilometers, only stopping once certain the spiders hadn’t followed.

He reached into his pocket for a Pei Yuan Pill, preparing to meditate, when a voice chuckled: ”Tsk tsk, escaping from Thunder Swallow Spiders? Impressive indeed. But having killed a Yan family member, you might have stirred up trouble for yourself.”
