My Silly, Sweet Wife

Black energy poured down.

Zuo Lengqiu felt his consciousness begin to haze.

He didn’t know how much time had passed. When he woke up again, he found the cloaked person was already gone.

As if he had never appeared at all.

He even carefully examined his own body and found no abnormalities.

”Holy Envoy?” Zuo Lengqiu called softly.

But there was no answer.

He touched his head.

Was it just a dream?

However, looking at the two corpses on the ground, Zuo Lengqiu became even more confused.

If it was really a dream, what’s the deal with these two corpses?

Could it be that his longing for the Holy Envoy led to this dreamlike experience?

Thinking of this, Zuo Lengqiu couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed.

At that moment, someone walked in.

Zuo Lengqiu, irritable, shouted, ”Get out, without my permission, no one is allowed to come in!”

Ye Guichen didn’t leave but instead smiled and said, ”Zuo Lengqiu?”

Zuo Lengqiu suddenly raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar man in front of him.

Wearing a blue robe, his face carried a smile.

Seemingly harmless, yet his eyes revealed a chilling brilliance.

”You’re the Son of the Nether Emperor, Ye Guichen?”

Almost instantly, Zuo Lengqiu came to his senses, immediately grabbed the weapon in his hand, and swung it at Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen easily dodged and kicked Zuo Lengqiu to the ground.

Zuo Lengqiu shouted, ”Someone, someone!”

Soon, many soldiers rushed in from outside.

Yet, Ye Guichen seemed not to notice, walked up to Zuo Lengqiu, picked up the Immortal Slayer Sword, and quickly cut the tendons of his hands and feet, then sliced open his coat and swiftly carved a line on his chest: Revenge for Yan Nanfei!

Zuo Lengqiu screamed in pain, his cries were terrifying to the extreme.

But no one dared to step forward.

Especially after seeing Ye Guichen’s carvings, the Qin soldiers who rushed in stared at Ye Guichen, somewhat stunned.

”Are you all dead? Kill him! Kill him!”

Zuo Lengqiu shouted, his rage reaching its peak, as if he were mad.

Ye Guichen lifted Zuo Lengqiu up, showing the freshly carved bloody words to those around: ”Yan Nanfei was once your brother. Today I am here just to avenge Yan Nanfei, not to kill unnecessarily. But if anyone wishes to join him, then don’t blame my sword for being ruthless!”

”You’re the Son of the Nether Emperor?”

”You, are you the Young Master?”

Some Qin soldiers asked the doubt in their hearts.

Ye Guichen nodded gently, ”I am the Son of the Nether Emperor.”

”Oh heavens, he took such a risk, just to avenge Yan Nanfei!”

”Who would’ve thought, really who would’ve thought, I won’t act against him, you should leave quickly!”

”Young Master, let me follow you!”

Some knelt on the spot, wanting to pledge allegiance to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen was now fearless of incoming challenges.

He threw the near-unconscious Zuo Lengqiu to the ground, commanding: ”Hang him outside the camp. Those willing to leave, I won’t stop. Those willing to follow me, stay. At dawn tomorrow, I will take over this place.”

Having said this, he quickly left.

Within one night, the news of Ye Guichen storming Qin Camp alone to avenge Yan Nanfei spread throughout Qin Camp.

Some questioned Ye Guichen’s actions, yet others were wholeheartedly convinced.

Most people, after hesitating, chose to stay.

While a few left secretly.

They knew that with Zuo Lengqiu being as good as dead, fighting would only lead them to be cannon fodder.

Ye Guichen did not kill Zuo Lengqiu directly; he wanted everyone to see the consequences of harming his people.

Ye Guichen’s move won many hearts.

But, as the sun was about to rise, the initially near-dead Zuo Lengqiu suddenly lifted his head slowly.

Black energy began to wrap around him.

That mass of black energy seemed to be able to heal his body.

It took less than a minute, wherever the black energy flowed, the injuries started to heal automatically.

The tendons in his hands and feet that were severed also completely recovered.

Even Zuo Lengqiu felt his strength seemed to have surged significantly as he lightly clenched his fist, feeling the aura in his Dantian.

”Is this the aura of Foundation Establishment?”

Zuo Lengqiu was struck speechless.

The feeling was distinctly different from the aura of the Qi Refining Realm, definitely something only a Foundation Establishment expert possessed.

”Could it be, it was real? Did the Holy Envoy really help me?” Zuo Lengqiu was overjoyed and easily broke free from the ropes.

Then, he jumped down from the high pole.

”Who is it?” Someone soon noticed Zuo Lengqiu’s presence.

Upon hearing voices, Zuo Lengqiu did not retreat but turned to look.

Upon seeing, Zuo Lengqiu seemed to see a delicacy from the human world.

The rich smell of blood stimulated his nerves, making him immensely joyful.

”Roar!”

He uttered a strange roar, pounced forward, directly onto a Qin soldier, biting his neck.

Before anyone could react, that soldier had already turned into a dried corpse.

Satisfied, Zuo Lengqiu stood up, seemingly looking at the remaining patrol soldiers with more desire.

Then, he pounced again.

Ye Guichen was unaware of what happened in Qin Camp.

Before dawn, he had returned to his camp.

Seeing Ye Guichen return, Xuanyuan Canghai hurried forward, concerned: ”Young Master, are you alright?”

Ye Guichen shook his head: ”The Qin Camp is settled, and Three Harmonies Valley is now ours. Immediately send people to firmly guard Sanbao Valley; we will use it as a natural defense to prepare to move against the Seven Kings.”

The land occupied by the Seven Kings is all west of Three Harmonies Valley.

As long as Three Harmonies Valley can be held, given time, Ye Guichen believes dealing with the Seven Kings is completely within reach.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Canghai quickly nodded.

Bai Qi boldly volunteered: ”Young Master, leave Three Harmonies Valley to me. Just give me ten thousand men, and I assure you I can hold it tight. Even if a mighty army comes, no one could break through.”

Having fought Bai Qi before, Ye Guichen naturally trusted him very much.

However, to prevent any accidents, Ye Guichen still instructed Xuanyuan Canghai to accompany Bai Qi, taking ten thousand men to guard Three Harmonies Valley after dawn.

After giving out instructions, Ye Guichen made no further stops and returned to Dan God Sect.

Ye Guichen thought Three Harmonies Valley would be trouble-free, yet upon returning to Dan God Sect, he hadn’t even warmed the seat when chilling news arrived.

Within one night, all living beings in Three Harmonies Valley had turned into dried corpses.

Not only those Qin soldiers who had surrendered, but also some beasts within.

”What on earth happened?” Ye Guichen was somewhat dazed.

Everything was fine when he left last night; how did this suddenly occur?

The messenger’s face was anxious: ”Young Master, I, I’m not sure either. This morning when we followed Commander Bai to Three Harmonies Valley, we noticed the anomalies. Commander Bai and Mr. Xuanyuan instructed me to come back and inform you immediately. They’re investigating there.”
