My Silly, Sweet Wife

Puff!

Puff!

Puff!

After countless sounds of things piercing through flesh—

Third Young Master was directly skewered like a hedgehog.

Without the Golden Core protecting him, Third Young Master’s body instead became incomparably weak, without the slightest bit of defense.

Then, Third Young Master fell with his face full of unwillingness; even at the moment of death his eyes were wide open, as if he’d never imagined he would be killed by a mere little Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Those people who had originally been planning to watch the show were also stunned.

Anyone who could kill Third Young Master wasn’t someone they could afford to provoke.

They only hesitated for a brief moment before everyone dropped to their knees.

”Paying respects, my lord!”

”From today onward, you’re the leader of all of us!”

”That’s right, my lord’s cultivation is truly amazing!”

The flattery just kept coming.

The two beauties who had been accompanying Third Young Master also came over, their eyes brimming with affection as they stared at Ye Guichen, as if they wanted to melt him.

Ye Guichen understood human nature all too well.

He knew that if he had died, they would be flattering Third Young Master in exactly the same way.

However, Ye Guichen didn’t have the time to settle accounts with them now.

Because after swallowing Third Young Master’s Golden Core just now, Ye Guichen felt his body start burning up, and an explosive force in his abdomen was almost about to blow him apart.

”Muge, Wangcai, guard outside. Without my permission, no one is allowed to come in.” Ye Guichen tossed a monster beast inner core to Wangcai, threw a healing pill to Qin Muge, then shoved away the two women who were practically stuck to his body: ”And you two, go put your clothes back on. Without my permission, you’re not allowed in the room.”

After that, Ye Guichen quickly slipped into the room.

To be safe, Ye Guichen still hastily set up a Sword Array around him.

These Sword Arrays sealed off everything within three meters of Ye Guichen, packed tight, as if wrapping him into a cocoon.

Once Ye Guichen finished setting up the Sword Array, he immediately sat down cross-legged.

A single Golden Core—just the power inside it felt like it could rival the Spiritual Energy from over a million Spirit Stones.

Although Ye Guichen’s body was tough, under this kind of berserk power he still couldn’t fully control it.

But once the Golden Core entered his mouth, it had already dissolved, so there was no way to take it out.

The only method Ye Guichen had now was to refine the Golden Core’s power.

”Sigh, I was too impulsive. I should’ve taken it slowly.”

Ye Guichen let out a breath. Just as he was preparing to refine the Golden Core, his body was directly torn open, and countless cracks appeared all over his skin.

In the blink of an eye it looked like a spiderweb.

A heart-piercing pain surged up.

Ye Guichen hurriedly circulated the Evergreen Yimu Technique, rapidly repairing his body.

But just as it finished repairing, his body shattered inch by inch again.

And that wasn’t all—even his very soul seemed to be torn apart; that soul-rending, lung-tearing pain made Ye Guichen feel as if he were being smelted in purgatory.

Fuck!

This power was way too violent, wasn’t it?

Ye Guichen’s soul was practically about to leave his body.

The intense vertigo made Ye Guichen almost pass out.

But under the remnants of his consciousness, Ye Guichen still quickly activated the Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique, desperately trying to repair the damage to his soul.

The double-layered damage made Ye Guichen’s consciousness grow more and more blurry.

Ye Guichen had no choice but to dump out everything from his storage ring, and without caring what those pills were for, he shoved them all down his throat in one go.

Ye Guichen’s own storage ring had already contained quite a lot of pills, and after killing Situ Jingtian, he’d gotten many more.

Those pills had all kinds of effects, but to Ye Guichen, none of that mattered anymore.

Once those pills were thrown into his stomach, they rapidly started repairing Ye Guichen’s body and refining the Golden Core.

Luckily, Ye Guichen had enough pills; otherwise, that Golden Core would definitely have blown him to death.

And just as Ye Guichen hovered on the edge of life and death, outside on the watchtower, Qin Cangqiong’s expression grew increasingly grave.

He had originally thought he only needed to test Ye Guichen a bit, and once he confirmed Ye Guichen could support Qin Muge, that would be enough.

But as Ye Guichen displayed more and more terrifying power, Qin Cangqiong grew increasingly uneasy.

If Ye Guichen merely had talent, no matter how monstrously gifted, as long as his cultivation stayed within a certain controllable range, Qin Cangqiong wouldn’t be wary of him at all.

But the terrifying strength Ye Guichen was showing now made Qin Cangqiong feel a deep sense of dread in his heart.

He felt that if Ye Guichen wanted to control Qin Muge, and use that to seize control of the Daqian Dynasty, it was entirely possible.

By then, his own dynasty would have to be handed over on a silver platter.

That was absolutely intolerable.

”State Preceptor, what do you think?” Qin Cangqiong’s voice was a little hoarse.

Though the State Preceptor was blind, he seemed to understand everything happening around Ye Guichen.

His originally expressionless face finally showed some movement. He took a deep breath: ”This kid is too terrifying. I fear a small Daqian Dynasty simply can’t hold him! If you give him time, he might very well soar up to the Ninth Heaven. Your Majesty, someone like this is absolutely impossible to subdue.”

Qin Cangqiong nodded: ”You’re right. At first I was thinking of having him stay by Muge’s side, to build something together with Muge, but now it seems I miscalculated. If he really stayed with Muge, he’d instead become a huge hidden danger.”

”Then I wonder, Your Majesty…” The State Preceptor hesitated.

”Find a way to contact the Evil People immediately. If they can behead Ye Guichen in the Barbarian Demon Arena, we can let them leave this place.”

”What?” The State Preceptor’s face changed drastically. ”Your Majesty, you want to cooperate with those Evil People? Those Evil People are no good sort. Once they’re let out, they’ll definitely head for the Northern North Desolation. At that time, they’ll be an enormous threat to our Daqian Dynasty as well!”

Qin Cangqiong gave a bitter smile: ”Right now I’m actually more worried about Ye Guichen’s threat.”

The State Preceptor said nothing more, seemingly also understanding Qin Cangqiong’s reasoning.

Ye Guichen really had grown powerful to the point of being insurmountable. Once someone like that harbored disloyalty, the harm he could bring to the Daqian Dynasty would be annihilating.

After a long silence, the State Preceptor spoke again: ”Your Majesty, should we at least attempt to communicate with Ye Guichen, to have him submit?”

”No!” Qin Cangqiong refused flatly. ”What I want is a delicate balance. Even if he’s willing to submit, I still wouldn’t feel at ease. Besides, with his strength, he could easily pull Muge up onto the throne, but that would be unfair to the other Princes. And furthermore, I, Qin Cangqiong, am not dead yet!”

Qin Cangqiong narrowed his eyes, a vicious glint flashing deep within them. ”State Preceptor, enough nonsense. Hurry and contact the Evil People tribe.”

The State Preceptor had no choice but to nod. He raised his hand and stroked the Crystal Stone.

The scene in the Crystal Stone shifted, and inside there appeared a woman with a human head and snake body.

The female demon was lazily coiled up in a cave, dozing off.

As if sensing something, the Snake Demon opened her eyes and gazed into the void. ”Hehehe, what’s this? After all these years, you humans actually take the initiative to contact me?”

Regarding some of this Array’s functions, this female demon seemed to have long been aware.

Qin Cangqiong stared at the image of the Snake Demon in the Crystal Stone and opened his mouth: ”My name is Qin Cangqiong, Emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.”

”Qin Cangqiong?” The Snake Demon straightened her waist, a trace of recollection flashing in her eyes. ”What’s Qin Jiuyu to you?”

”He’s my grandfather,” Qin Cangqiong replied.

”Hehe, grandfather? From the sound of it, Qin Jiuyu is already dead then?” The Snake Demon’s voice was seductive. If not for that snake body, one would have thought she was some peerlessly beautiful woman.

Qin Cangqiong fell silent and didn’t answer, but clearly he had tacitly admitted it. ”I’m here to make a deal with you.”

”That useless Qin Jiuyu—when he locked me up here back then, didn’t he swear he’d imprison me in this place for life? Hehe, I didn’t expect him to die so soon. What a pity.”

The Snake Demon ignored Qin Cangqiong’s words, her tone dripping with mockery.

When she finished, the Snake Demon lazily added, ”If Qin Jiuyu knew his descendant would actually come to make a deal with me, would he be so furious he climbs out of his coffin?”

”Spare me the nonsense. Are you taking this deal or not?” Qin Cangqiong didn’t want to waste words with the Snake Demon. If he weren’t desperate, he’d never make a deal with her.

The Snake Demon giggled, seemingly delighted by Qin Cangqiong’s anger. ”Alright then, little brat, tell me—what kind of business are we doing?”

”Help me kill someone. His name is Ye Guichen, and right now he’s in the human cultivators’ gathering point.” Qin Cangqiong said in a sinister tone.

The Snake Demon tilted her head and brushed the hair from her forehead back over her shoulders. ”Kill someone? Interesting. So, little brat, does this Ye Guichen fellow have some deep grudge with you?”

”You don’t need to ask so much. If you can kill Ye Guichen, I’ll let you and your Evil People leave. After that, you can leave the Daqian Dynasty’s territory. As long as you don’t come back, our Leiqian Dynasty absolutely won’t cause you trouble.”

The Snake Demon sounded surprised: ”Such a good thing? Hehe, don’t rush me. Let me guess.”

Her tail twisted lightly as she pondered for a moment. ”Right, little brat, back then your grandfather Qin Jiuyu was despicable and shameless. He tricked me into this Array and imprisoned me. All these years, I’ve been wanting to kill that old bastard every waking moment, but that geezer went and died so fast. Now you, this little brat, come out to make a deal with me. Isn’t there some scheme behind all this?”

”I’ve got it. Back then, I must have threatened Qin Jiuyu’s position as Emperor, so he tricked me into this shitty place. That Ye Guichen, is he threatening your position as Emperor now too?”

Qin Cangqiong’s mouth twitched hard twice, as though she’d poked right into his sore spot.

However, Qin Cangqiong didn’t answer. ”This deal—are you taking it or not?”

”Hehe, just as I thought!” The Snake Demon ignored Qin Cangqiong’s anger. ”Humans are all selfish, all despicable. Looks like I guessed right again! So this Ye Guichen really does threaten your seat. Hehe, you and your grandfather are the same kind of trash.”

As she spoke, the Snake Demon’s figure blurred, and her tail slowly shrank.

In no time, it transformed into two legs, long and pale like carved lotus roots.

She stood up and stretched lazily. ”I’ll take this deal.”
