My Silly, Sweet Wife

In the following two days, Ye Guichen continuously practiced the Godly Speed Technique.

As he became more proficient, although it hadn’t reached the stage of crossing thousands of miles in a single step, covering a hundred meters in one step was no longer an issue.

Moreover, Ye Guichen could now walk in the air. Although it couldn’t be considered true flight, he could stride and leap through the midair with ease.

After two days, his speed was nearly ten times faster than before.

Ye Guichen believed that with this speed now, even if he encountered a formidable monster, although he might not win, he could definitely escape unharmed.

”Zhu’er, lead the way. We are going to rescue your young lady and, incidentally, confront that great fiend.”

With a life-saving skill in hand, Ye Guichen felt revitalized and full of spirit.

Zhu’er, however, was completely dumbfounded.

She felt that Ye Guichen was truly a deity.

Hope surged in her heart, and seeing that Ye Guichen was planning to rescue her young lady, she hurriedly nodded: ”Good, that’s wonderful, really wonderful.”

Then, Zhu’er led the way, retracing the path they had fled.

Although they encountered several other beasts along the way, each was easily slain by Ye Guichen with a single sword strike. Zhu’er was even more admiring and kept exclaiming: ”Immortal Master, meeting you is truly a blessing of three lifetimes.”

Ye Guichen laughed: ”I’m not an Immortal Master, just call me Brother Ye.”

”Okay...” Zhu’er shyly lowered her head and softly called: ”Brother Ye.”

There was nothing she could do; Ye Guichen’s performance was too astonishing, and it was normal for a girl like Zhu’er, who hadn’t seen many men, to have feelings for him suddenly.

As they continued walking, another whole day passed.

Zhu’er stopped: ”It seems we are almost there.”

She also looked flustered.

Ye Guichen felt the oppressive atmosphere surrounding them.

Vaguely, something seemed to be wriggling not far ahead.

Ye Guichen gestured to Zhu’er to stay silent and then cautiously walked forward.

Soon, Ye Guichen found a giant python devouring a human not far ahead.

It was clear the human had long been bitten to death, yet from the attire, it was apparent they belonged to the Dongfang Family.

The Dongfang Family had previously sent Dongfang Feng to search for Dongfang Yue, and it seemed it was also a perilous task with little hope.

Ye Guichen initially had no intention of confronting the python, but its Spiritual Sense was quite strong. Almost the moment Ye Guichen noticed it, the python also detected Ye Guichen.

The python flicked its tongue, its vertical pupils flashed briefly, and suddenly lunged at Ye Guichen.

Since it provoked him, he wouldn’t be polite.

Ye Guichen let out a cold hum, raised the Immortal Slayer Sword, and swung it, directly killing the python.

Clean and swift, without any unnecessary move.

He couldn’t help it; with days of relentless practice, Ye Guichen’s first strike of the Immortal Slayer Sword had reached a remarkable mastery level. Even encountering experts like Dongfang Hong, who were in the second or third layer of Qi Refinement, he could still slay them with a single stroke.

Zhu’er glanced at the beheaded python and swallowed hard, deeply impressed by Ye Guichen’s method.

She naturally knew the python’s ferocity.

Yet, in Ye Guichen’s hands, it was as weak as small fish and shrimp.

A deity.

Maybe she had indeed met a deity.

”Ye, Brother Ye, this area should be the territory of that great beast, you must be cautious.” Zhu’er softly reminded him.

Ye Guichen nodded.

A Devil Snake nearing the level of a Qi Refiner was quite a treasure.

After slaying the python, Ye Guichen didn’t stop but quickly extracted its Snake Gallbladder and, after a brief hesitation, swallowed it.

Though bitter, the gallbladder dissolved immediately as it entered his mouth, and as it reached his stomach, a hot wave arose. The immense power coursing through Ye Guichen’s body was no less than the effect of a Pei Yuan Pill.

Even though it was just an experiment, Ye Guichen was overjoyed at the change in his body.

With Pei Yuan Pills exhausted, to replenish his strength and increase his cultivation, he could only consume these naturally potent substances.

Devil Snakes nearing the level of a Qi Refiner were rare outside, and Ye Guichen felt that if he consumed a few more Snake Gallbladders, he could easily achieve the second layer of Qi Refinement.

However, seeing Ye Guichen swallow the gallbladder, Zhu’er frowned, feeling somewhat nauseated.

Although she had eaten snake meat before, meat and gallbladder were entirely different.

Meat at least had taste, but the gallbladder was purely bitter.

Indeed different from us mortals.

Thinking this way, Zhu’er didn’t dare to speak more, waiting quietly until Ye Guichen fully digested the gallbladder and opened his eyes again, she timidly approached: ”What should we do next?”

”Hehe, since this is the territory of the great beast, it should soon notice us. First, lead me to where your young lady fell, and we’ll decide accordingly then.”

Zhu’er had no plans of her own now, nodded quickly at his words, and began walking forward in the direction she remembered.

However, the road ahead was undoubtedly challenging.

After killing one python, Ye Guichen inadvertently drew out over ten pythons, each possessing the level of a Qi Refiner.

Moreover, Ye Guichen noticed that there seemed to be only pythons here, with no other types of beasts.

Could it be that the great beast was also a Snake Demon?

Thinking about this, after consecutively slaying seven giant pythons and consuming all their Snake Gallbladders, Ye Guichen began to burp.

Ye Guichen swore that he would never eat this stuff again in his life, no matter how nourishing. He couldn’t endure having it continuously shoved into his mouth.

In fact, he felt so full now that even walking had become difficult.

Fortunately, with a sudden exclamation from Zhu’er, it seemed she had found where Dongfang Yue had fallen.

”Brother Ye, it seems to be here.”

Ye Guichen quickly went over and looked down.

There was a pile of dead branches and leaves, and after clearing them away, a hole leading downward emerged.

The opening wasn’t large, about a meter in diameter, and its surface was very smooth, with faint traces of snake Scale Armor visible.

”Your young lady didn’t fall directly into a snake’s nest, did she?” Ye Guichen couldn’t help but comment.

With so many giant pythons here, all at the level of a Qi Refiner, it’s highly likely that the great beast was a Snake Demon, and this place could very well lead to its lair.

Wasn’t it courting death?

Ye Guichen was a bit hesitant.

With his Godly Speed Technique, escaping should be no problem.

But if he entered a snake’s nest, his escape technique would be entirely useless. At that time, getting swallowed whole by the Snake King would be a terrible loss.

”Brother Ye, please save our young lady. It’s been several days already, and if we don’t rescue her soon, she might truly be lost.” Zhu’er pleaded earnestly, placing Ye Guichen on a pedestal: ”Brother Ye, you are so amazing, like a celestial being. If you can save the young lady, she would be eternally grateful, and if you marry her, no one would dare say anything.”
