My Silly, Sweet Wife

The sudden change startled Wei Lin greatly.

”Help me!”

Wei Lin instinctively hid behind Ye Guichen.

After all, Feng Jiuling was too fast, and his cultivation level was above Wei Lin’s, so Wei Lin simply couldn’t dodge.

Ye Guichen also didn’t expect Feng Jiuling to kill without a word.

His heart grew increasingly peculiar.

But he had already promised Wei Lin before to protect his life, and bringing him here was just to clarify things.

”Master Feng, what are you doing!” Ye Guichen wasn’t polite, directly standing in front of Wei Lin and grabbing Feng Jiuling’s treasured sword.

That’s right, he directly grabbed Feng Jiuling’s sword.

Wei Lin broke into a cold sweat.

Feng Jiuling was also stunned, looking down and his pupils involuntarily shrank slightly.

”What, you, you actually caught my sword with your bare hands?”

This sword was a Spiritual Artifact, saying it cut through iron like mud was not an exaggeration at all.

It could even easily leave a large gash on the body of a Golden Core Expert.

But now, it was caught by Ye Guichen.

Not only that, but Ye Guichen seemed completely unafraid of the treasured sword.

”Master Feng, I’m just bringing him here to explain things. As for his Spirit Stones, and even his life, I’m protecting them entirely.” After speaking, Ye Guichen smilingly set aside Feng Jiuling’s sword.

Wei Lin broke into a cold sweat.

However, after hearing Ye Guichen’s words, Ye Guichen’s image seemed to magnify invisibly.

He spoke the truth, he didn’t deceive me.

Feeling inexplicably moved.

”That’s right, even though we tricked Dugu Jifeng, but he couldn’t distinguish it, how can you blame me?” Wei Lin was no longer afraid, simply speaking plainly: ”I know your Wan Jian Villa has a Spirit Stone mine, but you’re very aware of the mine’s output as the master. Even if it’s your daughter, how much pocket money can she have in a year? That Dugu Jifeng took out ten thousand Spirit Stones at once, didn’t you find it suspicious?”

Ye Guichen looked at Wei Lin unexpectedly.

He didn’t expect him to say such things.

This ability to sow discord was quite impressive.

According to Wei Lin’s words, it seemed that Dugu Yue’s lineage had embezzled quite a lot of Spirit Stones, otherwise, how could a young master have so many Spirit Stones to buy things?

”Haha, it appears these two have a knack for trickery and deception.” Ye Guichen remained silent, but watched the drama unfold.

Hoping to see how Feng Jiuling would react.

As a result, after Feng Jiuling’s eyelids twitched rapidly twice, he unexpectedly burst into laughter, ”So what if it’s true?”

What?

This Feng Jiuling, wasn’t angry?

Could it be, he knew about Dugu Yue’s embezzlement?

That can’t be right?

Ye Guichen felt increasingly peculiar.

Unintentionally, he noticed a faint scar on Feng Jiuling’s neck.

It seemed as if it was bitten by something.

Although it had mostly healed now, it couldn’t escape Ye Guichen’s sharp eyes.

”Hm? Bitten by something?”

With a gentle sniff, Ye Guichen clearly sensed that the faint stench was emanating from that scar.

Ye Guichen squinted his eyes.

He couldn’t help but recall the extremely resilient creature he discovered under the Yin Ghost Sect.

At that time, even Feng Wuxiu was injured, and after surviving the ordeal, his body mutated, seemingly craving for blood.

But being with Ye Guichen, Feng Wuxiu managed to suppress the urge to suck human blood, only going for some animal blood when he couldn’t hold it anymore.

Even so, after spending some time with Feng Wuxiu, Ye Guichen also noticed some issues.

If harmed by that kind of underground creature but not killed, the body not only gained terrifying recovery ability but also greatly improved hardness and speed.

Moreover, Ye Guichen specially had Feng Wuxiu conduct an experiment.

If an animal was bitten to the brink of death, that animal would obey Feng Wuxiu, and its body would mutate.

This result startled Ye Guichen at the time, inexplicably reminding him of zombie films he once watched.

But it seemed that the two creatures were distinctly different from zombies.

Apparently, the bitten ones wouldn’t lose their reason.

If forced to relate it to zombies, it should be more advanced zombies.

Or perhaps, were they deliberately cultivated?

Ye Guichen had contemplated it endlessly, but found no answer.

Today, seeing Feng Jiuling’s appearance, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but wonder if he, too, was bitten?

”Where is Feng Wuxiu?” Ye Guichen spoke, asking in a deep voice while staring intently at Feng Jiuling, trying to discern a hint from his eyes.

Feng Jiuling was taken aback, but quickly said, ”Oh, Wuxiu is resting.”

”Where is he resting?” Ye Guichen pressed further.

”Feng Wuxiu is one of us at Wan Jian Villa, do I need to tell you where he is resting?” Feng Jiuling finally lost his patience, even showing a trace of irritability on his face.

Inexplicably, the muscles on his face began to twitch as if struggling.

He suddenly knelt down before Ye Guichen with a thud, covering his head with both hands, ”Save my daughter, I beg you...”

However, before he could finish speaking, Feng Jiuling suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion turning a few shades paler.

This scene directly stunned Ye Guichen.

Wei Lin, standing by, was also stunned, then quickly widened his eyes and stepped forward to pry open Feng Jiuling’s eyes for a look.

Upon seeing this, Wei Lin swiftly stepped back two paces, ”How is it possible? How could this guy be contaminated by a corpse parasite? Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could such a corpse parasite be here?”

Ye Guichen looked at Feng Jiuling’s struggling form and did not step forward to help, but also retreated two steps and grabbed Wei Lin, ”What corpse parasite, do you know what’s going on?”

”I know, I know!” Wei Lin nodded repeatedly, ”His condition is exactly the same as what we encountered years ago when we were searching for the Chaos Sea.”

Subsequently, Wei Lin quickly recounted what had happened back then.

According to Wei Lin, he and Zhu Biao had been wanting to find the Chaos Sea. By chance, they encountered a Corpse Chaser.

That Corpse Chaser seemed eerie and had already reached the Golden Core Realm.

However, he was only driving a corpse.

That corpse was called a Corpse Slave by the Corpse Chaser.

That’s right!

A Corpse Slave.

A kind of slave-like corpse.

However, unlike ordinary corpses, the Corpse Slave driven by the Corpse Chaser had a corpse parasite inside, which was said to be cultivated from a higher-level spiritual beast.

That kind of spiritual beast seemed to originate from the Chaos Sea, rarely seen, and seldom appearing outside the Chaos Sea.

At the time, Wei Lin and Zhu Biao learned of such a thing purely by luck.

But just after meeting that Corpse Chaser, he disappeared.

After finishing, Wei Lin’s eyes were filled with deep dread, ”As far as I know, once infected with that kind of corpse parasite, the body will mutate, and the person infected with the parasite will become a servant.”

”So that’s how it is!” Ye Guichen’s eyes flashed with realization.

Looking at Feng Jiuling’s pained expression, he was obviously struggling with his inner self.

But the power of this corpse parasite far exceeded imagination.

No matter how strong a person is, they cannot fight it.

Soon, Feng Jiuling’s eyes were filled with blood, and his whole person became somewhat hideous.

His skin turned somewhat dry, as if his blood and flesh had been drained.

Slowly getting back up from the ground, Feng Jiuling’s voice had become somewhat hoarse, as if his vocal cords had shriveled.

”Hehe, let’s go, after such a long journey, let me treat you to a meal.”

Feng Jiuling’s voice sounded eerie, making one’s scalp tingle.

Wei Lin pointed at Feng Jiuling and said to Ye Guichen, ”Senior, you saw it, he is definitely deeply infected with the corpse parasite. His current behavior should be to complete the task given by his master. He is no longer himself.”

”Master?” Ye Guichen frowned and asked Feng Jiuling, ”Who is your master?”

”Haha, it’s me!” Before Feng Jiuling could speak, a mad laugh came from outside.

Immediately, Dugu Yue strode in.

”To think, it’s hard to believe, truly hard to believe, that I have a corpse parasite inside me!” Dugu Yue said playfully, looking at Ye Guichen and then at Wei Lin, ”You know quite a lot, so does that mean as long as the corpse parasite doesn’t die, I won’t die either?”

”You?” Wei Lin looked at Dugu Yue with suspicion, ”Did you bite Master Feng?”

”That’s right, I am Feng Jiuling’s master.” Dugu Yue said smugly, gesturing to Feng Jiuling, ”Come, call me master.”

”Master.” Feng Jiuling obediently bent forward and called out.

Dugu Yue laughed loudly, ”So, how is it? Haha, I just didn’t expect that at this time, Feng Jiuling is still thinking about his daughter and trying to escape my control. But as it stands, he can’t escape my control. The result of trying to escape is what you see now.”

Clearly, Dugu Yue was also in the process of exploration.

Looking at Feng Jiuling’s appearance, Dugu Yue seemed very satisfied.

Although Wei Lin didn’t know why Dugu Yue had a corpse parasite inside him, these things were extracted from high-level spiritual beasts from within the Chaos Sea, completely beyond what they could handle.

”Senior Ye, we should leave this place as soon as possible. Once this kind of corpse parasite spreads, it will be a disaster unto extinction for all living beings. Moreover, as long as the corpse parasite doesn’t die, they won’t die. We are simply not their match.”

Clearly, Wei Lin was already frightened.

Dugu Yue shook his head, ”Trying to leave? Haha, I’m afraid it’s already too late.”

Clap, clap, clap!

Dugu Yue clapped his hands.

Soon, over a dozen people rushed in from outside, blocking the retreat for Ye Guichen and Wei Lin.

Upon entering, they all bent forward to greet Dugu Yue, ”Master.”

Dugu Yue pointed at those people, ”While you were coming, I took the opportunity to make some of those Corpse Slaves you mentioned. So, do you want to have a go?”
