My Silly, Sweet Wife

When Ye Guichen and his companions arrived at Dan God Mountain, it was already evening.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Ye Guichen looked up.

The entire Dan God Mountain resembled a giant’s head, with two gigantic pill caves near the summit, like two eyes.

Now that they had arrived at the territory of the Dan God Sect, safety naturally was not an issue.

Ren Wobai had long since sent the Lu Family brothers back to report.

By the time Ye Guichen and Ren Wobai arrived, someone was already descending the mountain to greet them.

The person welcoming Ren Wobai was a woman.

She appeared to be in her forties, still quite elegant, dressed in a plain blue garment with an ancient aura.

”Brother Ren, the journey has been arduous. The Lu Family brothers have already informed us, you must be tired.” The woman greeted Ren Wobai with a bow.

Ren Wobai quickly responded, ”Junior Sister Chang, thank you for your trouble.”

Then, he introduced Ye Guichen, ”This is Ye Sheng from the Penglai Pill Sect.”

”Ye Sheng, welcome to the Dan God Sect.” The woman smiled faintly.

Ren Wobai introduced the woman surnamed Chang to Ye Guichen.

Chang Lan, a common steward of the Dan God Sect, whose disciples are mostly female, often handling various welcoming and sent-off duties.

Accompanying Chang Lan was also a delicate-looking woman.

The woman appeared to be eighteen or nineteen, with fair skin and two shallow dimples that evoked sympathy at first glance.

”Ye Sheng, this is your senior sister, named Nolan Qingqing. Let Qingqing show you around first, and after I report the journey’s matters to the Great Elders, I’ll introduce you tomorrow.” After speaking, Ren Wobai pushed Ye Guichen towards Nolan Qingqing and left with Chang Lan.

Nolan Qingqing revealed her dimples, smiling at Ye Guichen, ”Ye Sheng, your name is so unusual. I heard you crafted a fourth-grade pill and were chosen by Junior Master Ren even before the competition? You’re impressive; even Junior Master Ren and my master can barely create a fourth-grade pill now.”

Nolan Qingqing looked full of admiration.

Ye Guichen expressed modestly, ”Senior Sister Qingqing is so beautiful and speaks so nicely. It’s truly an honor for Ye Sheng to know Senior Sister Qingqing.”

”Pfft!” Nolan Qingqing hadn’t expected such sweet words from Ye Guichen, blushing deeply: ”Let’s go, I’ll show you around the Dan God Sect and tell you where you can’t enter freely.”

Then, Nolan Qingqing introduced the Dan God Sect to Ye Guichen.

Along the way, they met many young disciples, all looking at Ye Guichen strangely.

Especially seeing Nolan Qingqing chat and laugh with Ye Guichen, many wore peculiar expressions, wondering how these two seemed so familiar despite just meeting.

”Hey, are you the alchemy prodigy from the Penglai Pill Sect?” Upon climbing higher, Ye Guichen and Nolan Qingqing were suddenly stopped.

Three young men appeared before them.

The leading youth wore a purple robe with three-petal flowers embroidered on the chest.

According to Nolan Qingqing’s explanation, the number of petals indicated the grade of the alchemist.

This young disciple was clearly a third-grade alchemist, while those trailing him were second-grade alchemists.

Seeing the opposing party, Nolan Qingqing immediately appeared tense: ”Senior Brother Chen, this matter isn’t confirmed yet. Tomorrow, the Elder Council will personally assess it, so it shouldn’t be taken seriously.”

”Not to be taken seriously?” Senior Brother Chen stepped forward two steps, smiling at Nolan Qingqing: ”Junior Sister Qingqing, you’ve been with our sect since you were a child, right? By reasoning, you’ve spent eighteen full years here; even if you can’t advance to a third-grade alchemist, second-grade should be achievable, no? Yet, all these years, you’re not even a first-grade alchemist. Were it not for Junior Master Chang Lan’s protection, you might have been expelled.”

Nolan Qingqing lowered her head, her small hands wrenching at her clothes, timidly said: ”Senior Brother Chen, Qingqing is naturally slow-witted, so usually Master assigns me welcoming duties; everyone knows this, please don’t bring it up, it’ll make Ye Sheng laugh.”

”Laugh?”

”Haha, Junior Sister Qingqing, it’ll be known sooner or later, what’s funny about it?”

”This Ye Sheng junior brother, since he’s an alchemical genius rare in a century for the Dan God Sect, we’re quite interested.”

”Junior Sister Qingqing, would you mind lending your junior brother Ye Sheng to us for a few hours?”

Upon hearing this, Nolan Qingqing immediately became nervous: ”Senior Brother Chen, he, he’s just new, utterly inexperienced, you...”

”Junior Sister Qingqing, it’s nothing to do with you!” One of Senior Brother Chen’s followers rudely pushed Nolan Qingqing aside and stepped forward to hook Ye Guichen’s shoulder: ”Junior Brother Ye Sheng, come on, let’s chat.”

Ye Guichen could clearly see their intentions.

They simply wanted to bully him.

Apparently, his talent stirred jealousy.

”Senior Sister Qingqing, are you alright?” Ye Guichen glanced at Nolan Qingqing, concerned.

Nolan Qingqing shook her head, ”Junior Brother Ye, don’t go with them.”

”It’s fine, you wait for me awhile, I’ll be quick.” Ye Guichen smiled and followed Senior Brother Chen and the others to a secluded spot.

Nolan Qingqing stomped in anxiety, wanting to rush forward to stop them, but recalling Senior Brother Chen’s methods, fear prevented her. Thinking about it, she was about to seek Chang Lan when she noticed Ye Guichen had returned.

”Junior Brother Ye, are you alright?” Nolan Qingqing’s beautiful eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

Over the years, new disciples frequently joined the mountain.

This Senior Brother Chen, confident in his talent and being a standout among the younger generation, typically would discipline new arrivals, then propose they follow him, recruit them as subordinates. If refused, he’d naturally start with a beating.

In Nolan Qingqing’s view, Ye Guichen’s slight frame couldn’t possibly withstand Senior Brother Chen’s group’s assault.

Unless he agreed to truly join them.

Yet Nolan Qingqing hadn’t seen Senior Brother Chen’s group emerge.

”Where are Senior Brother Chen and the others?” Nolan Qingqing asked puzzled.

”Oh, they wanted me to join this Dan Chen Gang, I didn’t agree, so they said never mind, next time, and I just left.”

Ye Guichen said casually.

This Dan Chen Gang, naturally the name given by Senior Brother Chen’s group.

Nolan Qingqing grew even more puzzled.

Senior Brother Chen and the group were this easygoing?

Yet, Nolan Qingqing, with her simple mindset, didn’t pursue it, merely looked bewildered at where Senior Brother Chen’s group was, then continued leading Ye Guichen onwards.

No one noticed all of Senior Brother Chen’s group were beaten to the ground, bruised and battered.

Especially Senior Brother Chen, extremely miserable.

Two front teeth were knocked out.

”That kid, how’s he so skilled at fighting?” Senior Brother Chen spoke with a lisp, full of shock.

”Senior Brother Chen, then, then what should we do? That kid is too arrogant, we must teach him a lesson!” another disciple said angrily.

His forearm was fractured, in pain he gritted his teeth.

”Of course we must teach him, huh! There’s ample time ahead!” Senior Brother Chen seethed with fury.
