My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Moreover, every time the masters of Spirit Beast Sect tried to subdue the Jiao dragon, they were countered and killed. Over time, knowing they stood no chance against the dragon’s spirit, the Spirit Beast Sect sealed this place to prevent any disciples from entering.”

”However, the Spirit Beast Sect inadvertently nourished the dragon’s spirit by sending many masters to their deaths, ironically revitalizing the ailing Jiao dragon spirit.”

”Once nourished, the dragon’s spirit became powerful, controlling an area spanning over ten miles, even using a special sound to bewilder and lure demon beasts to their deaths.”

At this point, Yan Fang glanced at the lake surface covered with demon beast corpses and said with a trembling voice, ”Look at those demon beasts—many of them are quite high-ranking, yet they were still bewitched. We should leave promptly.”

Ye Guichen was surprised by Yan Fang’s knowledge and asked, ”Did you get that ’Demon Chronicles’ from the Spirit Beast Sect?”

Yan Fang nodded, realizing that there was no reason to hide anything from Ye Guichen now.

Because if Ye Guichen died, the Jiuyou Tower might disappear as well.

Then, Yan Fang would have no place to hide and might truly vanish forever.

”That ’Demon Chronicles’ is a treasure of the Spirit Beast Sect. It took me tremendous effort to steal it. Because of stealing it, I left the Spirit Beast Sect and went to the Three Harmonies Valley. Otherwise, if the Spirit Beast Sect knew where I was, they would have killed me long ago.”

Ye Guichen looked at the tearful Yan Fang, but found amusement in it.

Unexpectedly, it benefited him in the end.

However, from what Yan Fang said, the master who killed the Jiao dragon seemed long gone, only managing to trap the dragon’s spirit here with great effort.

If that’s the case, why not try one’s luck?

Also, judging by the current situation, the dragon spirit has survived here for so long, it might have undergone mutations, forming what is known as a ’strange treasure.’

Ye Guichen didn’t know what the strange treasure was, but it certainly wasn’t ordinary.

”Alright, then why don’t you scout ahead for me,” Ye Guichen smiled warmly at Yan Fang.

Yan Fang was so frightened he almost collapsed on the spot: ”What? You want me to scout? Mr. Ye, Grandpa Ye, I’m begging you! The dragon spirit doesn’t eat flesh, only souls. If I go, I’ll be courting death!”

Seeing Yan Fang’s cowardly manner, Ye Guichen thought he might have a point.

It seemed that might be the truth.

Given Yan Fang’s abilities, approaching the lake might only lead to death.

While pondering what to do, Ye Guichen suddenly heard the roar of a Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf behind him.

”Someone’s coming?” Ye Guichen waved his hand to collect Yan Fang, quickly turned back, and sprinted towards the direction of the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf.

Soon, Ye Guichen arrived near the Four-eyed Dragon Tomb Wolf.

In front of the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf stood a one-armed man.

Upon seeing the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf, the man’s legs trembled uncontrollably.

Yet, he still forced himself to stand, holding a sword in one hand, seemingly ready to fight to the death.

This man was none other than Feng Wuxiu, who had been following him all along.

Obviously, upon seeing the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf, Feng Wuxiu’s courage had already failed him.

Though he had yet to make a move, Feng Wuxiu knew he was no match for the Ninth-Order Demon Beast before him, fearing he might become the wolf’s lunch within a few moves.

Additionally, Ye Guichen noticed two other groups hiding nearby.

One group wore Xuanyin Sect attire; if he guessed correctly, they must be from the Xuanyin Sect.

Another group consisted of just one man hiding in a nearby tree.

With Ye Guichen’s current vision, he could easily see the man’s appearance—it was the cloak-wearing man previously resembling a monkey.

Both the cloak-wearing man and Xuanyin Sect people seemed to be mockingly watching Feng Wuxiu, ready to take advantage once he clashed with the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf.

”If I’m not mistaken, that monkey-like person must be a half-human, half-demon from the Spirit Beast Sect. Ha, seems he’s also coveting that dragon spirit and the emerging strange treasure.”

Witnessing the appearance of several groups, Ye Guichen had essentially figured out their intents.

Moreover, considering the Xuanyin Sect’s actions, their objective was clear.

However, the Xuanyin Sect likely hadn’t realized it was all a ploy from the Spirit Beast Sect, and had shot themselves in the foot.

”Roar!” The Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf growled, looking at Feng Wuxiu as if he were an ant.

Unwilling to continue staring at Feng Wuxiu, the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf opened its mouth, intending to devour him directly.

Feng Wuxiu was horrified, knowing there was no escape, so he swung a sword that was powerless against the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf, resigned to awaiting his fate.

Initially, Ye Guichen contemplated remaining hidden, intending to watch how the Spirit Beast Sect and Xuanyin Sect would act and then seize an opportunity as well.

But if he didn’t intervene, Feng Wuxiu would meet a dead end.

”Stop!” Despite not having a good impression of Feng Wuxiu, Feng Chuchu was kind to him, and she seemed especially fond of him.

Therefore, if Feng Wuxiu were to die here, it would be difficult to explain if he encountered Feng Chuchu again.
