My Silly, Sweet Wife

The State Preceptor didn’t finish his sentence, but from Qin Cangqiong’s expression, it seemed that if Ye Guichen really became uncontrollable, even sacrificing Qin Muge would be worthwhile to prevent Ye Guichen from being released.

Ye Guichen, of course, was unaware that his decisive and ruthless behavior had made Qin Cangqiong, who originally valued him, have second thoughts.

After killing Long Kui, he glanced at the human cultivators who were looking at him with dread and said, ”Let’s go, take us to your hiding place.”

”Okay, okay.” Those people nodded repeatedly, not daring to refuse.

Ye Guichen looked young, but was extremely ruthless, killing at the drop of a hat. Even someone as skilled as Long Kui was easily killed by him, so how could they dare resist?

The group didn’t even bother with Long Kui’s corpse, leaving it there.

The Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf didn’t waste any time, seeing that Ye Guichen’s group was about to leave, it rushed forward and quickly devoured the corpses of Long Kui and the other dead human cultivators.

Witnessing this, the living human cultivators gulped in fear.

They couldn’t understand who Ye Guichen was, or how he came to be there, but they sensed that his arrival might disrupt the delicate balance that had formed at the Barbarian Demon Arena.

The group proceeded cautiously, fearing detection by the barbarians.

After about half an hour’s walk, they finally arrived at a dense forest.

This forest was even denser than usual, with guards stationed outside.

As Ye Guichen and his group approached, the guards stopped them and scrutinized Ye Guichen and Qin Muge, ”Who are you?”

One of the group quickly whispered an explanation into the guard’s ear.

The guard was surprised as he glanced at Ye Guichen, ”What? You say he repelled the barbarians with one punch and killed Long Kui?”

”Yes, it’s absolutely true.” Though these people seemed to band together, they were all outlaws, with no intention of avenging their comrades.

Hearing that Ye Guichen had killed Long Kui, the guard was filled with respect and quickly nodded, ”Alright, follow me.”

Then, the guard led Ye Guichen and the others into the forest.

As they entered, the scene inside was quite different from what they had seen outside.

A path appeared in front of them, winding forward until it led to a clearing with huts.

In the middle, there was a large open space.

It was like a miniature village here, and everyone inside was dressed in rags.

In the middle of the open space, two people were fighting.

One wielded a knife, the other wielded a sword.

Both were already covered in multiple wounds, surrounded by incessant cheers.

”Come on, didn’t you claim to be the top swordsman? Why are you struggling, kill him!”

”Haha, I bet ten Spirit Stones on you, don’t let me down!”

”Kill him, kill him already!”

It was a scene like a gladiator arena.

The person with the Red Sword swung it through the air, releasing bursts of Sword Qi.

The person with the knife barely managed to block with a long knife in hand, but the long knife was immediately cut in half.

However, just as the sword-wielder was about to deal the fatal blow, his opponent suddenly scattered a handful of gray powder.

The powder immediately blinded the sword-wielder’s eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the knife-wielder struck, beheading the sword-wielder.

Then he plopped down on the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief.

The surrounding crowd erupted in cheers.

Curses followed.

”Damn, you’re so cunning!”

”Damn it, you made me lose ten Spirit Stones!”

”Useless bastard!”

As the curses rang out, the crowd began to disperse.

Someone led a fierce tiger out to the center.

The tiger rushed forward and began tearing into the dead man’s body.

Throughout the entire process, no one cared about the deceased.

Ye Guichen wore a blank expression.

Qin Muge, however, frowned deeply, ”Aren’t you all on the same side? Why turn on each other?”

”On the same side? Ha, in this place, there’s no such thing as being on the same side. There’s only the division between the strong and the weak. The strong get to live well, while the weak are left to die. Even if we don’t kill him, he’ll be killed by barbarians or Evil People sooner or later.”

The guide sneered, pointing to the central hut, ”Third Young Master is inside, you can go in yourselves.”

Ye Guichen exchanged a glance with Qin Muge, then entered without hesitation.

Inside was a large bed made of animal hide, on which lay a man.

On either side of him lay two scantily clad women.

The look on his face was one of utmost satisfaction.

Hearing them enter, the man looked at Ye Guichen and Qin Muge with displeasure, ”Who are you? Can’t you see I’m trying to sleep?”

With just a shout, an invisible and terrifying aura spread out.

Qin Muge felt his knees go weak.

It was as if they had encountered a primal beast.

”He, he is a Golden Core expert?” Qin Muge gasped.

Because, the feeling he got from the other party was not from a Foundation Establishment Realm expert.

In the past, Qin Muge had also seen some Golden Core experts.

Such people, their breathing is deep and powerful, their presence vast, they can split the ground within a radius of more than ten miles with a stomp.

They’re in a completely different league from Foundation Establishment Realm masters.

”Oh, new faces!” The Third Young Master seemed to only just recognize Ye Guichen and Qin Muge, noticing he hadn’t seen them before, he couldn’t help but utter in surprise, sat up, and sized up Ye Guichen and Qin Muge.

Qin Muge hid behind Ye Guichen, not daring to make a sound.

Ye Guichen stepped forward two steps with a faint smile: ”Kid, Ye Guichen, I meant no offense to Third Young Master, just arrived at this Barbarian Demon Arena, came to pay respects to Third Young Master.”

”What crime did you commit to get here?” The Third Young Master scrutinized Ye Guichen, not putting Ye Guichen in his eyes at all.

Ye Guichen smiled slightly: ”I didn’t commit any crime, but Qin Cangqiong sent me here as a test.”

”Test you?” The Third Young Master was taken aback, then burst into laughter: ”Kid, you really know how to joke, that guy is just a hypocrite, does he not know what situation this is here? Haha, I think you offended him, right? Entering here, life isn’t worth much anymore, alright, I don’t have time to play with you, hurry up and get lost, we don’t want pretty boys here.”

”Who are you calling a pretty boy!” Qin Muge immediately got anxious upon hearing this, but regretted it after speaking.

The Third Young Master grinned: ”What, you’re not willing to be called a pretty boy? Haha, dare to interrupt my good deed, get lost!”

He seemed completely unwilling to waste words with Ye Guichen and Qin Muge, the Third Young Master waved his hand.

A massive force came directly at them.

Ye Guichen’s expression also changed.

When he entered, he sensed how terrifying this Third Young Master was.

Definitely a Golden Core expert.

Ye Guichen never expected that in a place like this, a Golden Core expert would be hidden, no wonder he could live so carefree, like a king among people, with women accompanying him.

This type of person is just like a tyrant in prison.

However, looking at his fierce demeanor, Ye Guichen knew that the other party was obviously not a good person.

Although from the Third Young Master’s tone, Qin Cangqiong might not be a good person either, but those held here are not kind-hearted beings.

Since Ye Guichen had come here, he was naturally targeting the barbarians.

As for evil people, Ye Guichen had not yet encountered them, but felt they were just like those white fox types, not worth mentioning at all.

On the contrary, these barbarians greatly intrigued him.

And wanting to subdue these barbarians alone clearly wasn’t realistic.

Therefore, he needed to unite these human cultivators.

Even though they might not be benevolent, if used properly, they could serve as great assistance.

Thus, Ye Guichen came this time wanting to talk to the Third Young Master, to meet the barbarians.

Unexpectedly, this Third Young Master acted immediately without a word.

Though just a wave of his hand, it already carried a vast killing intent.

Ye Guichen’s expression involuntarily darkened.

Just because I disturbed his good dream, he wants to kill me?

Alright, if so, then don’t blame me for being rude.

Ye Guichen directly summoned ten swords, blocking the vast killing intent.

Because the opponent’s power was strong enough, Ye Guichen was forced to stagger backward several steps.

”Oh wow, could actually block it?”

The Third Young Master became interested: ”All these years, no one has dared come in to disturb me while I sleep, you two are the first. Haha, since so, then naturally you can’t live, I don’t care where you come from, or what your purpose is, since you’ve brought yourself here, then I can’t let you live!”

”Damn, no one told us about this!” Qin Muge panicked upon hearing this.

Back then, the people who let them in said nothing, who knew those people had malicious intentions.

Ye Guichen also frowned.

Although the people here are human cultivators, the relationship between them isn’t good, and for fear that Ye Guichen’s previous outstanding display might affect their status among this group, they seemingly want Ye Guichen to conflict with the Third Young Master.

It seems, wherever there are people, there is intrigue.

This is indeed the truth.

”Haha, so, will you handle this yourself, or should I?” The Third Young Master stood up.

The two women also lay there, not shying away from their uncovered form, looking at Ye Guichen and Qin Muge with smiles, seeming to already regard them as dead men.

Ye Guichen sighed softly: ”Third Young Master, from your words, as long as I defeat you, can I become the ruler here?”

”Haha, that’s right!” The Third Young Master laughed: ”But, with just your fifth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, you still want to play with me?”

The Third Young Master stomped his foot, the ground instantly cracked.

The soil on the ground actually formed a hand, reaching out to grab Ye Guichen.

Golden Core experts can use anything in the world as a weapon.

Ye Guichen sliced that dirt hand into two halves with one sword, the ten swords then shot out.

Swish swish swish!

Accompanied by the sound of the ten swords flying out, they formed a sword array, charging toward the Third Young Master.

Meanwhile, outside, quite a few people had gathered.

Each of their faces bore expressions of schadenfreude, seemingly waiting for the Third Young Master to kill Ye Guichen and Qin Muge.
