My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ren Wobai and his companions never expected that the person riding on the White Tiger was Ye Guichen.

When Ye Guichen jumped off the back of the White Tiger and patted it to enter the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest, Ren Wobai and his companions finally regained their composure.

”Ye Sheng, are you alright?” Ren Wobai increasingly felt that he couldn’t see through Ye Guichen.

Not only did he walk out alive from the Wolf Head Gang, but his aura also felt different.

And he was riding a White Tiger?

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it even if he were beaten to death.

Ye Guichen smiled and said, ”I’m fine, Brother Ren, sorry to trouble you.”

Ye Guichen had encountered the White Tiger on his way here.

For Ye Guichen, subduing the White Tiger was not a difficult task.

The road to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest was originally far, and after subduing it, Ye Guichen just used the White Tiger as a mount. He didn’t expect it to shock Ren Wobai and his companions so much.

”Brother Ren, can we set off now?” Seeing Ren Wobai still silent, Ye Guichen asked with a smile.

Ren Wobai snapped back to his senses, ”Alright, let’s go.”

Without further questions, he instructed Lu Yi and Lu Er to lead the way ahead, while Lu San and Lu Si followed behind to prevent any ambush.

In the Hidden Gate, the dangers exceed imagination.

If not extremely cautious, one might lose their life at any moment.

Taking advantage of the others being a little distant, Ren Wobai asked quietly, ”Ye Sheng, about the Wolf Head Gang, you...”

”Oh, Brother Ren, I heard the City Lord of Yong’an City died, and the Wolf Head Gang was left vulnerable. I took the chance to escape in the chaos.” Ye Guichen didn’t tell the truth.

The Wolf Head Gang was his trump card, no need to reveal it.

In this period, the Wolf Head Gang must develop discreetly so it could become a significant help when needed later.

Hearing this, Ren Wobai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded silently, ”It’s fortunate you’re unharmed. If something happened to you, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to the sect upon my return.”

These words were half-truths.

Even if Ye Guichen were to die, Ren Wobai wouldn’t be punished much.

Moreover, with the Great Returning Pill and its recipe given by Ye Guichen, Ren Wobai wouldn’t just avoid punishment; he’d likely receive rewards.

But since Ye Guichen returned alive, it was still good to say kind words.

”Thank you for your concern, Brother Ren.” Ye Guichen cupped his hands in salute.

In the next three or four days, the group didn’t encounter any major issues.

Along the way, Ye Guichen admired the scenery of the Hidden Gate.

Vast mountains and rivers, the local customs and scenery, all had a sense of grandeur.

The vastness of the Hidden Gate was far beyond Ye Guichen’s imagination.

Ye Guichen never thought such a small Earth could hide so many unknown places.

He couldn’t help but recall the prehistoric novels he’d read before.

It’s said that when the world first began, the wilderness was boundless and limitless.

After a great battle, the wilderness collapsed, and the debris scattered, with a small piece forming the Earth and other pieces forming other planets.

With endless development over the years, the universe came to be.

However, how vast the universe truly is, no one knows.

Boundlessly vast.

The Dan God Sect was situated on Dan God Mountain.

There was a legend that a Dan God arose here, a true expert capable of melting heaven and earth.

It’s said that reaching the highest realm in the path of Alchemy does not refer to literally concocting pills, but rather refining all things.

Using the world as a Pill Furnace and nature as medicinal material, refining at will.

And Dan God Mountain is said to be refined by that Dan God, with a grand hall dedicated to the Dan God on the mountain, known as the God Worship Hall.

However, this legend hasn’t been verified, and no one knows its truth.

Just a few hundred miles away from the Dan God Sect lies the no-man’s land, located at the border of King Qin, and also at the border of King Qi.

The other side belongs to the Dan God Sect.

Places like the Dan God Sect, although adjacent to the areas governed by the Seven Kings, share an equal relationship.

The Dan God Sect seldom meddles in the Seven Kings’ affairs, but at the borders, friction between King Qin and King Qi never ceases.

This no-man’s land is known as the Three Harmonies Valley.

Unlike ordinary valleys, it’s formed by the convergence of three valleys. It’s said that a long time ago, a giant spring existed at the meeting point of the three valleys.

In just one day and night, countless streams gushed from the spring, surging like a flood towards all directions, over the years carving out the three valleys.

When the spring ran dry, it became the Three Harmonies Valley.

”After passing the Three Harmonies Valley, we’ll enter the territory of our Dan God Sect.” Staring at the Three Harmonies Valley ahead, Ren Wobai let out a long breath.

Not admitting, the journey was fraught with perils, but fortunately, there were no mishaps; they fulfilled their mission.

However, just as Ren Wobai sighed with relief, two sides of the valley suddenly burst out with two groups of cavalry.

The two groups were wearing different clothes, holding large flags behind them inscribed with two different characters: Qin, Qi.

”What’s going on?” Seeing those two groups, Ren Wobai’s expression changed, ”Could it be King Qin and King Qi are going to battle here?”

The two groups stopped not far from the center of the Three Harmonies Valley.

Each group had nearly a thousand soldiers, their armor shining brightly.

The leader of King Qin’s side rode a giant wolf the size of a calf, holding a long spear, looking very imposing.

King Qi’s leader rode a leopard, wielding a great saber nearly two meters long.

Due to the distance, Ren Wobai and his companions could not hear what they were saying at all.

But it was clear that the two groups were preparing for a confrontation.

”Our Dan God Sect can’t get involved in the war of the Seven Kings, so we can’t show ourselves now. Let’s wait until the battle is over before we proceed.” Ren Wobai gestured for Ye Guichen and the Lu brothers to all lie down and hide first.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the wolf-riding leader charged out first.

The leopard on King Qi’s side shot out like an arrow from a bowstring, rushing to the giant wolf in an instant.

The two swung their weapons and were fighting in a blink.

The leopard and giant wolf also started biting each other.

All around, rocks rolled, and sandstorms whipped up, clearly showing the pair were experts, nearly evenly matched.

They fought for a full ten minutes, the leopard biting the giant wolf’s neck, its rider swung his saber, slicing off one of the opponent’s arms.

The rider on the wolf was shocked, abandoning his giant wolf, leaping back rapidly.

A soldier immediately blocked with a long spear.

In an instant, the two troops turned into a melee.

The battle lasted for half a day.

The Three Harmonies Valley was piled high with bodies.

From both sides’ troops, over two thousand, less than one-fifth remained.

And those who remained were mostly wounded.

The brutality of the war made Ye Guichen tremble with fear.

No matter how advanced an individual’s skills were, the number they could kill was limited. But once war began, the number massacred was immeasurable.

In just half a day, over a thousand lives were taken.

Nobody even tended to the bodies; soon, those corpses would likely become dinner for wild beasts.
