My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ye Guichen and Ren Wobai exchanged glances upon hearing this.

Surprisingly, they ran into Ling Yun here.

Ren Wobai shook his head, signaling Ye Guichen to pretend he hadn’t seen anything.

In the past, Ye Guichen might have pretended not to notice, but after hearing about Ling Yun’s actions during the day, he now had the intention to kill him.

Now that the opportunity presented itself, how could he pass it up?

”Brother Ren, you go ahead, I’ll handle this person.” Ye Guichen watched as the distant lights drew near: ”Those people should be the ones who kidnapped Ling Yun during the day. Don’t get discovered, hurry and leave.”

Ren Wobai frowned, ”What do you plan to do?”

”Don’t worry, Brother Ren, I’ll catch up with you soon.”

Although Ren Wobai didn’t understand what Ye Guichen intended to do, seeing Ye Guichen’s determination, he said no more and instructed the four brothers of the Lu Family: ”Lu San, Lu Si, help Ye Sheng; we’ll leave first. Remember, even if you encounter those people, never reveal our identity unless facing a deadly threat, understand?”

Lu San and Lu Si nodded repeatedly, ”Rest assured, Steward Ren.”

Without further ado, Ren Wobai and Lu Yi, Lu Er left quickly.

Lu San and Lu Si approached Ye Guichen: ”Ye Sheng, what are you going to do?”

”Of course, to rid the world of a menace!” Ye Guichen smirked and approached Ling Yun, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him off the ground.

Ling Yun thought the other side would save him, but was shocked to realize Ye Guichen intended to kill him. His face changed dramatically in terror: ”Do you, do you know who I am? If you kill me, the Ling Family won’t spare you!”

Ye Guichen chuckled, ”Precisely because I know who you are, I intend to kill you!”

His grip suddenly tightened, causing Ling Yun to turn pale: ”Hero, Hero, name your price. As long as you spare me today, I’ll agree to any condition.”

His demeanor was completely that of a defeated dog.

Ye Guichen sneered, ”Why didn’t those who kidnapped you just kill you?”

”They’re not good people either, a bunch of bandits from nearby, trying to use me to coerce my father into giving them Spirit Stones. I, I escaped when they weren’t paying attention, Hero, spare me, I assure you I won’t mistreat you.” Ling Yun said nervously.

Lu San and Lu Si didn’t understand Ye Guichen’s reasoning but remained silent.

In their view, since Ye Guichen addressed Ren Wobai as Brother Ren, they’d see what kind of person this Ye Sheng was, to know how to handle future interactions.

Ye Guichen nodded slightly at this, ”So, the story about you abducting those women is true?”

”I, I...” Ling Yun opened his mouth, unsure of how to explain.

At this moment, a voice rang out, ”Over here!”

Following the shout, over a dozen men quickly surrounded Ye Guichen’s group.

Lu San and Lu Si’s expressions changed; they didn’t expect them to arrive so quickly.

Ling Yun’s face turned ashen.

He inwardly sighed; it was over.

There was no way to escape now.

As for Ye Guichen’s fate, it was none of his concern.

In this situation, Ye Guichen’s three likely would trade their lives for his.

”Hand over Ling Yun!” The burly leader, shirtless with a wolf head tattoo on his chest, pointed a bloody Wolf Fang Club at Ye Guichen: ”I don’t want to waste words, hand him over quietly if you don’t want to die.”

Cold sweat broke out on Lu San and Lu Si’s foreheads.

Seeing the wolf head tattoo on their chests, they basically guessed their identity.

Wolf Head Gang.

They seemed to be the most active local group in the area.

Though called a local group, in reality, they were rebels against the Yan King.

It’s said that their leader used to be a top fighter under the Yan King but was punished for an error and sought to assassinate the Yan King in a fit of rage.

The outcome was predictable, the assassination was a failure.

The Yan King ordered a manhunt, but the leader broke through the siege and fled to the vicinity of Yong’an City.

Originally intending to cross the Heavenly Bridge to the Ghost Market for leisure, but seeing the bridge heavily guarded, there was no way through.

So, he gathered a group and formed the Wolf Head Gang here.

Ye Guichen wasn’t aware of their background but could infer from Lu San and Lu Si’s expressions that they weren’t simple.

”Alright, we’ll release him, just don’t make it hard on us. We’re just passing through.” Lu San was the first to speak, moving beside Ye Guichen and said, ”Quickly release him, and we’ll leave at once.”

The group leader sneered, without further comment.

Ye Guichen, however, shook his head, ”You’re all birds of a feather; none of you are any good! Since he’s been abducting women, surely you’ve done the same!”

The burly leader didn’t expect Ye Guichen to challenge them and was stunned, then burst into laughter.

”Boy, is something wrong with your head? Don’t you realize the situation? Damn it, I don’t want to waste time, hand him over! Still acting like a hero? Let’s be honest, we’re acting on behalf of the families harmed by Ling Yun’s deeds.”

”Haha, as for what we’ve done, it’s none of your concern.”

The implication was clear, probably much like what Ye Guichen said.

They weren’t necessarily good people.

Ye Guichen had a rough idea, nodding lightly, ”In that case, I’ll send you all on your way!”

With that, he broke Ling Yun’s neck.

Lu San and Lu Si’s pupils abruptly contracted, completely unprepared for Ye Guichen to kill.

This was terrible for them!

”Quick, find a way to escape first!”

Lu San reacted quickly, ignoring Ye Guichen, shouted this, then turned to flee.

Ye Guichen chose to act recklessly, they didn’t want to die with him.

Since this was the Wolf Head Gang’s territory, they feared nothing and were unreasonable.

Lingering would only lead to death.

Lu Si wasn’t slow, moving as Lu San retreated.

The wolf-tattooed man raised his brow, lifting his Wolf Fang Club to smash at Ye Guichen’s head: ”Little bastard, dare to touch Wolf Head Gang’s property, courting death!”

Whoosh!

The Wolf Fang Club descended with great force, carrying a dull noise as if a thousand pounds were about to crush Ye Guichen’s head.

The opponent’s level wasn’t weak, likely at Qi Refinement Stage Two.

Plus, surrounded by over ten experts, even though not many were Qi Refiners, united wolves could overpower a tiger.

If a fight broke out, Lu San and Lu Si wouldn’t gain any advantage.

Ye Guichen didn’t think much.

Since this world was survival of the fittest, a small display of power was in order.

”Ha, let’s see who courts death.” Ye Guichen chuckled and swung his Immortal Slayer Sword, slicing the wolf-tattooed man in half at the waist.

The Wolf Fang Club was still in mid-air, and with his upper half flying away.

Ye Guichen didn’t stop, actively attacking, wielding the Immortal Slayer Sword like a demon towards the Wolf Head Gang.

”Ahhh!”

Moments later.

The screams ceased.

Replaced by silence.

Lu San and Lu Si had barely run far when the noise stopped, turning back, they were utterly stunned.
