My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Black Bear, let me introduce you. This is a Holy Envoy from the Holy Temple. He’s come this time to help King Qin unify the Seven Kings.”

”Holy Temple, Holy Envoy?” Black Bear had clearly never heard these names; his eyes were full of confusion.

General Bai Hu didn’t hide anything and continued, ”That’s right. The Holy Temple, hehe, is in the distant northern border, on Netherworld Mountain not far from the Chaos Sea. They are also the attendants guarding that hidden gate. So, we all call him the Holy Envoy.”

”Chaos Sea, hidden gate?” Although Black Bear was a martial brute, he had heard of the Chaos Sea and that door floating on the sea.

But those things were far too illusory, and far too distant from them. Black Bear had always taken it as a mere rumor and never paid it any mind.

Yet now, the one guarding the hidden gate had actually appeared right in front of him.

If it weren’t for his trust in Bai Hu, Black Bear would have thought this man was a fake, an impostor.

Bai Hu ignored Black Bear’s shock and went on, ”Black Bear, do you know why I trust people so much and treat them like my own brothers?”

Black Bear was at a loss and just kept shaking his head.

General Bai Hu was very strange today.

So Black Bear’s head felt like it was wrapped in paste.

Aside from his shock at Ye Guichen’s terrifying power, Black Bear was now completely drawn in by this cloaked Holy Envoy.

Bai Hu said, ”Actually, both of us have the bloodline of the Demon Clan in our bodies.”

”What?” Black Bear felt like he was hearing sheer nonsense. ”General, what Demon Clan bloodline? I know about demon beasts, but what do you mean by Demon Clan bloodline?”

”Hehe, just watch.” General Bai Hu gave a light smile, a hundred charms blooming.

Then, in the next second, a scene that shocked Black Bear unfolded.

He saw Bai Hu stand up and move ever so slightly, and three tails suddenly rose up behind him.

White tails.

Black Bear’s mouth hung open; he felt his entire way of thinking being overturned in an instant.

”General, you, you’re a demon…”

As Black Bear spoke, he kept backing away, as if he were extremely wary of General Bai Hu.

Black Bear was, of course, familiar with demon beasts.

But the strongest demon beast he had ever seen could not possibly transform into human form.

He had never imagined that the General Bai Hu who had lived side by side with him would actually be something transformed from a demon creature.

At this moment, the cloaked man spoke. ”Black Bear, you’re both right and wrong. General Bai Hu is not a demon beast; he simply has the bloodline of the Demon Clan flowing in his body.”

At this point, the cloaked man gave Black Bear a meaningful look. ”And it’s not just General Bai Hu. Even you have the bloodline of the Demon Clan flowing in your veins.”

”Me?” Black Bear felt as if he’d heard a joke and shook his head hard. ”Don’t joke with me. I’ve lived for decades. I should at least know if I’m human or demon, right?”

”Of course you don’t know. Back then, during that great war at the hidden gate, all the scattered Demon Clan bloodlines were completely concealed. And now, what I’m here to do is awaken all of these bloodlines in you, and let the Demon Clan reappear in this world!”

As he spoke, the cloaked man suddenly struck, pressing a palm onto the top of Black Bear’s head.

Black Bear wanted to resist, but the opponent’s speed was too fast; he simply couldn’t fight back.

Not long after, Black Bear felt something rush into his body.

Then he suddenly roared, and his already massive body swelled again. In no time, his armor was torn apart.

Black fur quickly grew all over the surface of his body. His fingers and teeth began to transform, and before long he had turned into a giant black bear nearly four meters tall.

Black Bear roared, seemingly extremely bewildered and flustered by his current state; his eyes were full of terror.

The cloaked man struck Black Bear with another palm, and Black Bear’s body began to shrink, soon returning to its original form.

However, in this short span of time, Black Bear was already drenched in sweat, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

After panting for quite a while, Black Bear lifted his head, his eyes brimming with the desire for answers. ”General Bai Hu, what on earth is going on? Just now, I… I really turned into a bear?”

Bai Hu nodded lightly. ”That’s right. When my Demon Clan bloodline was first awakened, I was just as panicked as you. Hehe, but now, I’m extremely satisfied with the fact that I have the Demon Clan bloodline. Because only we of the Demon Clan are the noblest race. Those humans are nothing but lowly creatures—and that includes King Qin.”

”General Bai Hu, what… what do you mean by that?” Hearing General Bai Hu actually slander King Qin and speak ill of him, Black Bear felt that this was completely different from the General Bai Hu he’d known before.

Bai Hu smiled faintly, reclined on the lounge chair, and gave the cloaked man a slight nod. ”Holy Envoy, I’ll trouble you to explain it to Black Bear.”

The cloaked man walked up to Black Bear. ”Your Demon Clan bloodline has already been awakened by me. Take your time to get used to it—you should be able to adapt before long. There is something I need to tell you.”

”Over twenty years ago, the chaos among the Seven Kings was orchestrated by our Holy Temple. But the Seven Kings were too stupid. After more than twenty years, not only did they fail to complete the unification, even the Son of Nether Emperor has appeared.”

”Hehe, the Holy Temple originally planned for King Qin to unify the Seven Kings. At that time, when he became the new Netherworld Emperor, he would be a puppet of the Holy Temple. But after all these years, King Qin’s methods have truly made us wary of approaching him.”

”The Holy Temple is very angered, yet they sent me here to lend King Qin a hand and help him unify the Seven Kings.”

Black Bear was puzzled. ”Then what does this have to do with my bloodline?”

The cloaked man shook his head, signaling Black Bear not to rush, then pondered for a moment before continuing, ”Black Bear, in fact, our Holy Temple is also part of the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan is the purest and most primordial race in this world, far nobler than those humans. Hmph, if the Demon Clan hadn’t been careless back then, the entire world would belong to the Demon Clan, seized by the Demon Clan. But now, the Demon Clan can only cower in hiding, not daring to show themselves, sealed behind the hidden gate.”

”What?” Black Bear’s pupils contracted; it was as if he’d heard something earth-shattering. He exclaimed, ”So behind that gate on the Chaos Sea, the Demon Clan is sealed?”

”Of course.” The cloaked man went on, ”Aside from our Holy Temple, no one knows of this. However, before the Demon Clan was sealed back then, in order to someday return, they left many seeds, which were scattered throughout this world during the chaos of the Seven Kings. And you are the bloodline of the Demon Clan.”

”It’s just that, to be safe, the bloodline in your bodies could not awaken. Normally you’re no different from ordinary people, but your cultivation speed is different from others.”

”And it was precisely this wise decision of the Demon Clan back then that allowed your intelligence to begin surpassing that of humans. Once you awaken your Demon Clan bloodline, your strength will definitely surpass those humans. Hehe, by then, taking back this world will be a mere trifle.”

At this time, General Bai Hu also spoke up. ”That’s right, Black Bear. Those mighty ones who sealed the Demon Clan have not shown themselves all these years; they should have already given up on this side. So our time of rising is about to arrive. Right now, living dead run rampant, and King Qin is taking the opportunity to pin the blame on the Son of Nether Emperor. While the Seven Kings and the Son of Nether Emperor are fighting each other, it’s the perfect time for us to play the fisherman, quickly searching for our Demon Clan companions.”

”Hehe, it won’t be long before our Demon Clan becomes the overlords of this world.”

As he spoke, Bai Hu glanced at the cloaked man. ”And when that time comes, you Holy Envoys will also be able to shake off the shackles of Netherworld Mountain, right?”

Wrapped in his cloak, the man’s expression could not be seen, but he let out a faint laugh. ”General Bai Hu is indeed wise—nothing can be kept from you. All these years, our Holy Temple has been the Demon Clan’s loyal servants, hoping every moment for the Demon Clan’s return. Only when the Demon Clan steps out from the hidden gate again can we be released and gain our freedom. Hehe, it’s just that before that happens, our power is still sealed within the Holy Temple. When it comes to dealing with that Son of Yinming, I can’t personally make a move. I’ll have to trouble General Bai Hu to put in more effort.”

”Hahaha, Holy Envoy, you’re too courteous. As long as you have the ability to unlock the Demon Clan bloodlines, that’s more than enough!” General Bai Hu waved his hand and said to Black Bear, ”Black Bear, from here on, the task of finding those with Demon Clan bloodlines will be entrusted to you.”
