My Silly, Sweet Wife

Amid the intermittent accounts, the disciple recounted the events in general.

They were all members of the Law Enforcement Hall, patrolling outside as per the Great Elder’s instructions, when they arrived at a place about fifty miles away from Dan God Mountain.

The area was an open wilderness, vast and wide, with not a blade of grass growing for miles.

But just as they were about to take a rest, a Three-headed Giant Wolf suddenly appeared, and without a word, it swallowed one of the disciples.

The remaining disciples were shocked and tried to resist, but were easily swatted away by the giant wolf.

In just a few encounters, they had no time to escape, some were dead and others injured.

The disciple before them had barely escaped to deliver the news.

With difficulty, he reached out to Elder He: ”Save me, save me…”

However, the next second, his hand drooped down, and his eyes slowly closed, clearly dead.

There was a dead silence around.

Seeing their fellow disciple die so unwillingly, there was a shared feeling of sorrow.

”You guys, gather this disciple first. I will discuss this matter with the other elders immediately.”

As Elder He spoke, he was already getting up.

Ye Guichen followed closely behind, trailing Elder He: ”Elder He, since the incident location has sightings of the Three-headed Red Wolf, if we continue discussions, it may escape. Now, while others are unaware, I wish to make a trip to see if I can find the Three-headed Red Wolf and avenge our brothers!”

Elder He looked towards Ye Guichen at these words: ”You want to go?”

Ye Guichen was already well-known.

Even the seven great elders spoke highly of him, and they certainly recognized Ye Guichen.

However, Elder He shook his head, not agreeing: ”Ye Sheng, I know your intentions, but the Three-headed Red Wolf isn’t someone we can handle. You’ve been at the Penglai Pill Sect for a long time, and you don’t quite understand us here. A sixth-tier beast is definitely not easy to kill. Moreover, based on the disciple’s description, I fear it may not be just a sixth-tier beast. A sixth-tier Three-headed Giant Wolf shouldn’t exceed five meters in height, but they say it’s at least seven or eight meters tall. I’m worried this beast is beyond the sixth tier.”

”Beyond the sixth tier?” Ye Guichen frowned: ”What do you plan to do then, Elder He?”

Elder He sighed: ”What else can be done? We can’t just leave the disciples’ bodies out there. If necessary, I’ll go in person.”

”Elder He, please believe me, I can do this.” Ye Guichen’s gaze was determined: ”Moreover, if the Red Wolf is captured by others, it will be detrimental to our Dan God Sect. Time is of the essence; we must act quickly.”

”Are you capable?” Elder He was still somewhat skeptical.

He was unaware of Ye Guichen’s feats of killing King Qin’s Envoy and matching Bai Qi.

Ye Guichen nodded emphatically: ”How about I accompany you? There’ll be no problem at all.”

”Alright, since that’s the case, everything will be under my command. Ye Sheng, you are the hope of our Dan God Sect. Your ability to refine fourth-grade pills at such a young age would make even the Sect Master treasure you, so no matter what, even if I risk my life, you must not come to harm, understand?”

Elder He also knew that even if they cowered at the Dan God Sect, if that Three-headed Red Wolf came, no one could resist.

In the urgent situation, they can only take one step at a time.

Nolan Qingqing, hearing this, was a bit anxious: ”Ye, I’ll go with you.”

”Qingqing, why would you go!”

Before Ye Guichen could speak, Elder He directly reprimanded: ”Just stay on the mountain obediently; your presence will only add baggage!”

To Elder He, Nolan Qingqing was neither proficient in Alchemy nor cultivation, and following would be of no use at all.

Nolan Qingqing felt exceedingly wronged, looking helplessly towards Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen firmly said: ”You can’t go, Elder He and I are enough.”

”But…”

”No buts. It’s too dangerous. Wait until your skills improve.” Subsequently, he gave Nolan Qingqing no opportunity to plead further.

Elder He glanced strangely at Ye Guichen, somewhat surprised, unable to understand why Nolan Qingqing listened to him.

But clearly, now wasn’t the time to dwell on such matters.

Elder He briefed the other elders before taking Ye Guichen down the mountain.

Though Ye Guichen hadn’t been at the Dan God Sect for long, he had never descended the mountain.

Elder He’s cultivation level was similar to Ye Guichen’s, reaching Qi Refinement level five.

Of course, Ye Guichen suppressed his realm to just Qi Refinement level two; apart from Ren Wobai and Lei Long, almost no one knew Ye Guichen had already reached the capability to slay King Qin’s Envoy.

Their pace was swift.

Elder He feared Ye Guichen might not keep up, deliberately holding back his speed.

Yet, when he turned to look, he found Ye Guichen walking casually with hands behind his back, prompting him to quicken his pace, wishing to see Ye Guichen panting heavily.

But to no avail, regardless of Elder He’s speed, Ye Guichen always kept pace, roughly one meter behind.

”This boy, only at Qi Refinement level two, how is he so fast?” Elder He marveled internally, feeling a bit suffocated.

Being overshadowed by a junior was certainly vexing.

Thus, Elder He exerted all his energy, hoping Ye Guichen would speak up, restoring some dignity.

Nevertheless, Ye Guichen continued to follow leisurely.

After running over twenty miles, Elder He practically spat out a mouthful of blood.

Was this Ye Guichen some kind of spectral being?

How was he so fast?

Ultimately, Elder He admitted defeat, breathlessly questioning Ye Guichen: ”Ye Sheng, why are you so fast?”

Ye Guichen hadn’t realized this, suddenly asked by Elder He, he recalled he had unknowingly engaged his Godlike Swift Step, thus ensuring speed.

”Ah? Oh, I previously trained in an escape skill, just in case I encounter danger and can’t win, providing a means to save myself. Elder He, if you want to learn it, once we return, I can teach you.” Ye Guichen awkwardly offered.

Elder He nodded contently upon hearing this, praising: ”Ye Sheng, no wonder Lei Long always recommends you, saying we should protect you well, claiming you might have ties to the Son of Nether Emperor. By the way, Ye Sheng, do you know the Son of Nether Emperor?”

Ye Guichen didn’t expect Elder He to be so inquisitive.

Regarding his identity as the Son of Nether Emperor, Lei Long hadn’t disclosed it fully to other elders, just hinted, guarding against any mischief.

Yet even so, it was enough to significantly elevate Ye Guichen’s status.
