My Silly, Sweet Wife

Having witnessed Ye Guichen’s power, they did not want a direct confrontation with him at all.

The stout man named Zhu Biao, upon seeing Ye Guichen, suddenly flung the fan in his hand outward.

A cloud of white powder scattered towards Ye Guichen’s eyes.

Ye Guichen knew that if that stuff got into his eyes, he definitely wouldn’t be able to open them for a while, so he instinctively blocked it with his hand.

As a result, by the time Ye Guichen took his hand away, those two had already vanished without a trace.

However, Ye Guichen was not in a hurry at all.

With the remnants of souls guiding him, there was no way those two could escape.

”Hehe.” Ye Guichen chuckled, and after leaving the teahouse, he nodded toward the air.

Most people could not see anything in the air, but those remnants of souls were Ye Guichen’s eyes; Zhu Biao and the other person simply couldn’t escape.

He strolled down the street leisurely, walking more than ten miles until he reached a dense forest.

The forest was by the riverside, and following the souls’ guidance, those two were hiding inside.

Ye Guichen was still not in a rush. Standing outside the forest, he shouted aloud, ”Alright, stop hiding; I know you’re in there. Come out obediently, I won’t do anything to you.”

The two stayed hidden in the forest, remaining silent.

Ye Guichen sighed, ”You don’t think I’m bluffing, do you?”

With that, he gestured with his hand and summoned hundreds of swords: ”I’ll count to three, if you don’t come out, I won’t mind flattening this forest; then, I won’t care about your survival.”

At the same time, inside the forest.

The two were skulking around.

They had fled all the way here, initially thinking Ye Guichen could never find them.

But who would have thought, Ye Guichen seemed to know their whereabouts all along and caught up so quickly.

”Damn it, what kind of person is that guy!” The beggar’s expression was grim, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Zhu Biao, the stout middle-aged man, also gritted his teeth: ”How the hell would I know, that guy is just like a ghost, and found us so quickly; if he really catches us and takes us to Wan Jian Villa, we definitely won’t survive.”

”So, what do you think we should do?”

”What else can we do? In this situation, we might as well fight it out, kill that guy.”

”Kill him?” The beggar’s lips trembled slightly, showing some apprehension: ”You saw that kid’s skills too; even the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation of Wan Jian Villa didn’t faze him, how do we attack?”

”Come on, beggar, did you forget the time we nearly died in the Chaos Sea?” Zhu Biao rolled his eyes at his companion.

The beggar hesitated, then a glint appeared in his eyes: ”You mean that thing?”

”Of course. When we were being chased for tricking a big figure from a sect, we finally shook them off near the Chaos Sea. That’s when we accidentally acquired a painting.”

As he spoke, Zhu Biao took out a painting from his storage ring.

The painting was sealed tightly, as if afraid that opening it could harm someone.

Their cultivation was rather ordinary, having reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, their talents for fraud were unparalleled, and their skills at fleeing were exceptional.

In the past, they always managed to escape quickly after pulling off a scam, never easily caught.

But today, pursued by Ye Guichen as if they were ducks, naturally stirred them to murderous intent.

However, they had also seen Ye Guichen’s prowess with his hundred swords, not fearing even the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation; killing Ye Guichen wouldn’t be easy.

Thus, they decided to take a risk.

The beggar stared intensely at the painting, his voice trembling: ”Old Zhu, we only used this thing once back then, it’s too overpowering, nearly hurt ourselves; I’m afraid even a Golden Core Realm expert couldn’t withstand a hit from this. If we bring this out and it doesn’t work, then what?”

”You said it yourself, even a Golden Core expert couldn’t handle it, so what are you afraid of?” Zhu Biao cast a glance at the beggar, gritting his teeth: ”We picked this up by chance, it surely belongs to some great power lost in the Chaos Sea, killing Golden Core experts like slaughtering chickens, we originally didn’t intend to kill, but that kid doesn’t know what’s good for him, so he shouldn’t blame us for being impolite.”

As they spoke, they suddenly felt a chill on their scalps.

They looked up, pupils shrinking abruptly.

The dense forest seemed as if it was sliced by a giant sword, all the trees cut uniformly.

Moreover, half of Zhu Biao’s and his companion’s hair had been sliced off.

If it had gone a few inches lower, their heads might have been chopped off too.

The two were shocked, slowly straightening up and looking outside, just to see Ye Guichen standing outside the forest, smiling at them.

”Damn it, let’s fight!” Zhu Biao shouted, ”Beggar, you step back!”

The beggar seemed aware of the painting’s power, turning and running back.

Ye Guichen saw the stout middle-aged man in a state of resigned determination, not fleeing, but holding something resembling a painting, and couldn’t help but feel curious.

”Kid, we have no grievances with you, but if you keep closing us off like this, don’t blame us for being rude!” Zhu Biao shouted, raising the scroll in his hand: ”Let me give you a piece of advice, there’s still time for you to leave now! We only seek wealth and have never wanted to harm anyone, but if you don’t leave, don’t blame us for resorting to murder.”

Ye Guichen looked at the scroll strangely, ”You want to use a painting to kill people?”

”Cut the crap, are you leaving or not?” Zhu Biao roared.

Ye Guichen shrugged, ”I don’t care if you deceive people, I’m not bothered by it. But now that others suspect me, I need you to go back and clarify that I have nothing to do with you, and I can guarantee I won’t take your lives.”

”Guarantee?” Zhu Biao sneered, ”What guarantee do you offer? We’ve been swindling and deceiving for so many years, from top-tier sects to ordinary folks, we’ve deceived countless people, and many want us dead. That Dugu Jifeng is clearly not a good character; we conned ten thousand spirit stones out of him, do you think he’ll let us go? Ha, don’t even think about it, I see you’re just scared of Wan Jian Villa, and that’s why you’re trying to use us to curry favor with them. I don’t understand, someone who can easily break the Extermination Immortal Sword Formation, why would you be afraid of Wan Jian Villa.”

Ye Guichen shook his head, ”You’re wrong. I’m not afraid of them, and they have nothing worth fearing. I’m taking you back just to show my stance and give Wan Jian Villa a chance.”

”Giving them a chance?” Zhu Biao laughed slyly, ”Wan Jian Villa is already considered a second-rate sect, why would they need you to give them a chance? Ha, what arrogance!”

Ye Guichen knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless.

Originally, he had a good impression of Wan Jian Villa, plus the connection with Chu Chu, teaching them a few sets of swordsmanship wasn’t a big deal.

After all, since he inherited the sword tomb of the Carefree Sword Immortal, casually taking out a set of swordsmanship would be enough to greatly enhance their Wan Jian Villa.

But unexpectedly, desire led Feng Jiuling to attempt against him.

Even though Feng Jiuling seemed to be influenced by Guduyue’s bewitching, that’s no excuse for forgiveness.

The reason Ye Guichen insisted on bringing these two back was merely to give Chu Chu an explanation.

To let Chu Chu know who Ye Guichen really was.

So that Chu Chu could also clearly see the true face of Wan Jian Villa.

”Enough, make your move!” Ye Guichen smiled at Zhu Biao, ”And your companion, there’s no escaping.”

”Haha, alright, kid, you asked for it!” Seeing Ye Guichen’s stubborn attempt to seek death, Zhu Biao’s eyes flashed with ferocity, and he suddenly unfolded the scroll.

In the next second, a terrifying aura surged from the scroll, rushing towards Ye Guichen.

In that instant, Ye Guichen felt as if a real giant dragon leapt into the sky, roaring, changing the color of the heavens and the earth.

”What kind of treasure is this?”

Ye Guichen was surprised too.

But the aura from the scroll was too fast.

Before Ye Guichen could react, it had already struck him.

Ye Guichen was directly blown away.

He was heavily smashed against a huge rock not far away, shattering it into pieces.

Fortunately, Ye Guichen’s physique was exceptional, so he wasn’t seriously injured, but he was in immense pain.

What a treasure!

Ignoring the pain, Ye Guichen got up again and rushed towards Zhu Biao at high speed.

Zhu Biao had thought that this blow would surely kill Ye Guichen, but he couldn’t believe Ye Guichen got up again.

”What the hell, you’re not dead?”

This blow, even for a Golden Core expert, would be certain death.

Ye Guichen was charging again.

Zhu Biao was shocked.

But this scroll was quite peculiar, it could only be used once every seven days.

Once used, it appeared as an ordinary scroll, capable of being used again only after seven days.

Facing Ye Guichen, who was like a tiger descending the mountain, Zhu Biao had no power to resist and turned to flee.

But could he possibly match Ye Guichen’s speed?

In the blink of an eye, Ye Guichen was right in front of Zhu Biao and easily immobilized him with a gentle touch.

However, Ye Guichen did not resort to deadly force. He immobilized Zhu Biao and easily took the scroll from his hand, then released Gui Tuo and Yan Fang to capture the beggar.

After completing all this, Ye Guichen collected all the storage rings and pouches from Zhu Biao without checking their contents, merely waving the scroll in front of Zhu Biao: ”What is this thing?”

Zhu Biao swallowed hard. Seeing Ye Guichen only slightly shaken and not seriously injured, he was astounded.

In his view, even Golden Core experts didn’t have physiques this strong.

”Who are you really, how could you withstand a blow from this scroll?” Zhu Biao asked, trembling.

Ye Guichen had no interest in answering but rather asked back, ”What is this scroll? Answer honestly, or I won’t mind using some methods.”

Speaking, Ye Guichen unfolded the scroll and glanced at it.
