My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Dad, I…I don’t think I’m going to make it.” Dugu Jifeng’s breathing grew fainter and fainter; it was obvious he was as good as dead.

Dugu Yue ignored everything else. ”Quick, tell me, what exactly is wrong with you, why did this happen!”

Originally, Dugu Yue had thought he himself could not be killed.

Even if he could be killed, it shouldn’t be that easy.

But Dugu Jifeng’s death left him with a lingering chill.

Dugu Jifeng still thought Dugu Yue was worried about him, and said weakly, ”If I haven’t guessed wrong, our bodies will only truly be invincible once we become eunuchs, and that place is also our weakness.”

Dugu Yue froze.

Instinctively, he glanced at Dugu Jifeng’s crotch.

At that look, Dugu Yue seemed to wake up all at once.

He seemed to have been ignoring some key things all along.

No weakness.

Ever since he’d been bitten and survived that life-and-death tribulation, Dugu Yue had thought his body no longer had any weak points.

But that place seemed to be the weak point.

Once that part of the body was cut off, the entire body became like a deflated balloon, no longer that incomparably hard, indestructible thing.

On the contrary, it became even worse than an ordinary person’s.

At that time, one had to endure this period of weakness.

After it grew again, or after that place regrew completely, perhaps there would no longer be any flaw.

”Hahaha, Feng’er, you died a worthy death, a worthy death.” Dugu Yue laughed wildly, suddenly lifting his head, ferocity filling his eyes.

”Kill for me, kill them for me!” Dugu Jifeng wanted to bite everyone in Wan Jian Villa and turn them all into his Corpse Slaves.

By then, he could peacefully become a eunuch and then refine his own body.

Even if he ran into Golden Core experts or ones at even higher realms, he would have nothing to fear.

As for Dugu Jifeng’s death.

Dead is dead; once he could attain immortality, what would he still want a son for?

Dugu Jifeng had already fallen into madness.

He didn’t believe there was anyone now who could be his match.

As for that fake mystic Ye Guichen, he was probably scared stupid by now, right?

Including Feng Jiuling, those Corpse Slaves who had been bitten by Dugu Yue had already gone completely berserk.

Feng Chuchu’s tears poured down like rain. Looking at Feng Jiuling’s bloodthirsty appearance, she felt her heart shatter to the extreme.

The scene was a complete rout, everything collapsing.

The regenerative ability of those Corpse Slaves was terrifying to the extreme. Even if their cultivation wasn’t high, they simply couldn’t be killed; it was too horrific.

Very quickly, many people in Wan Jian Villa began to feel like retreating.

Feng Wuxiu had also been bitten until his flesh and blood were a mangled mess, without a single intact patch of skin left.

Feng Chuchu still didn’t want to leave; she even thought of just dying here together with Feng Jiuling.

Yang Di was barely holding on, but it was useless.

Her body was already injured in many places.

But strangely enough, aside from those bitten by Dugu Yue, no one else turned into so-called Corpse Slaves.

Wei Lin hid behind a rockery watching all this, his legs going soft and trembling like a sieve; he couldn’t even stand steady.

Too insane!

This scene was like a purgatory on earth, terrifying to the extreme.

When he used to travel with Zhu Biao, he had heard of this kind of corpse gu, but he had never seen such a large-scale outbreak.

If the corpse gu in Wan Jian Villa spread out, humanity would probably face annihilation; that kind of destructive blow would absolutely be no less than what the Demon Clan had brought upon them.

”What do I do? What do I do?” Wei Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He didn’t even dare to try escaping now.

He believed that as long as he ran, he would definitely be discovered by the Corpse Slaves, and then it would be a nine-deaths-one-life situation at best.

But if he kept hiding here, sooner or later he’d be found as well.

For a moment, Wei Lin sank into utter despair.

It wasn’t just Wei Lin; everyone in Wan Jian Villa quickly fell into despair.

Because Dugu Yue no longer hid his intentions, even wildly tearing into and biting the people of Wan Jian Villa, starting to convert them into Corpse Slaves.

And once converted, the number of Corpse Slaves grew more and more, while the living grew fewer and fewer.

At this rate, the entire Wan Jian Villa would be turned into Dugu Yue’s Corpse Slaves.

Feng Chuchu looked at Ye Guichen, who was still sitting with eyes closed in meditation, and fiercely wiped away her tears. ”Brother Chen, I don’t know what’s happening with you, but even if it’s the last minute of my life, I’ll stay by your side.”

Staggering, she walked toward Ye Guichen.

Yang Di, while blocking the attacks of those Corpse Slaves for Feng Chuchu, kept shouting that they should retreat.

But it was of no use.

Dugu Yue still didn’t touch Ye Guichen again, as if deliberately toying with him, wanting to make Ye Guichen completely submit.

Just as the situation in Wan Jian Villa seemed nearly beyond saving, a sudden clap of thunder exploded overhead.

Thunder rumbled. The previously clear sky was instantly as if covered by a black cloth; in the blink of an eye it turned pitch-dark, and the distance visible to the naked eye was no more than ten steps.

”What’s going on?”

”Why did the sky suddenly go dark?”

”Strange, this is really strange!”

Everyone was filled with amazement.

But no one dared relax their guard.

At this moment, Ye Guichen suddenly opened his eyes.

”What is that?”

Ye Guichen had been focused on refining the corpse gu.

However, refining the corpse gu did not seem easy.

Even after so long, and with no one disturbing him, Ye Guichen had only barely reached a kind of balance with the corpse gu; he still could not completely control it.

If he couldn’t control the corpse gu, he couldn’t become a higher-level existence than Dugu Yue.

Like this, there was simply no way to control Dugu Yue.

Even with his eyes closed, Ye Guichen also sensed the abnormality outside.

If this went on, Wan Jian Villa would be destroyed in an instant.

Feng Chuchu and the others would all die as well.

He couldn’t wait any longer.

Ye Guichen knew he had to first halt the spread of the Corpse Slaves; as for wiping them out, that would have to be done slowly, step by step.

Thinking so, countless thoughts flashed rapidly through Ye Guichen’s mind.

The only method seemed to be to chop them into minced meat, just like when they killed that monster before.

But as for what the result would be, that was unknown.

At the very least, this was the only thing he could do at the moment.

But just then, the sky suddenly grew overcast.

Ye Guichen clearly felt a vast aura hurtling rapidly in their direction.

In the blink of an eye it arrived above Wan Jian Villa.

What was that? Ye Guichen couldn’t tell.

But the other party was definitely no weaker than that Ghost King Ye Guichen had encountered before.

What was going on—why was he running into so many terrifying existences lately?

”Corpse Gu from the Chaos Sea—how could insects like you hope to use them?”

A deep, resonant voice rang out.

All the Corpse Slaves raised their heads one after another.

Then they saw a patch of shadow appear in the void.

That shadow gradually enlarged, and in the blink of an eye became as large as a small building.

Ye Guichen looked carefully and saw that it was actually an upside-down bottle.

That’s right!

The thing looked just like an inverted bottle, but its size was unimaginably huge.

”Collect!”

Before Ye Guichen could figure out what was happening, that deep voice sounded again.

Then he saw dense black mist stripping off from the bodies of those Corpse Slaves, rushing swiftly into the inverted bottle.

Looking closely, that black mist wasn’t mist at all, but tiny worms the size of ants.

The things being drawn out turned out to be all Corpse Gu.

Once the Corpse Gu were extracted, each person collapsed to the ground on the spot, life or death unknown.

Dugu Yue felt a terror like never before.

Seeing his Corpse Slaves falling one after another, Dugu Yue panicked and tried to flee.

But the eerie power radiating from that bottle effortlessly enveloped Dugu Yue.

”You can’t take away my power, you can’t!” Dugu Yue shouted loudly.

But it was useless.

Very soon, the Corpse Gu inside Dugu Yue’s body were drawn out as well.

Then he too lost consciousness and collapsed, life or death unknown.

Only when all the Corpse Gu had been extracted did Ye Guichen clearly feel that strange power lock onto him as well.

”Heh, interesting—you can actually coexist with Corpse Gu. It seems you have a bit of fate with us,” that voice said, tinged with mockery. ”Since that’s the case, I’ll wait for you in the Chaos Sea. The Corpse Gu in your body, I’ll leave them to you.”

As the voice fell, the massive bottle shrank again.

The curtain of darkness dispersed.

The sky returned to its former clear blue.

If not for the fact that Wan Jian Villa was still a complete wreck, Ye Guichen would have found it hard to believe everything that had just happened.

”Brother Chen, you’re okay?” Feng Chuchu snapped out of her daze and was the first to throw herself in front of Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen also felt a sheen of cold sweat on his back.

That feeling just now of being targeted left Ye Guichen with no power to resist.

The opponent’s strength was likely not weaker, and perhaps even stronger, than the Ghost King’s.

The Chaos Sea?

Could it be that there were even stronger experts in the Chaos Sea?

Ye Guichen took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain composed, and comforted her: ”I’m fine. Let’s go see how the Villa Master is first.”

Feng Chuchu was stunned, then suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly nodded, and ran toward Feng Jiuling.

Feng Jiuling now looked incomparably thin; his former ferocious appearance had vanished, but there was no trace of blood on his face.

His body was covered in black blood; it was unclear whether it was his or someone else’s.

Just like the other Corpse Slaves, Feng Jiuling had already fallen unconscious, yet he still had a faint breath of life.

”Father, father, how are you? Wake up!” Feng Chuchu kept shaking Feng Jiuling, but it was useless.

Ye Guichen stood up and walked over to Feng Wuxiu.

Feng Wuxiu had also fainted; his whole body was riddled with wounds. The recovery granted by the Corpse Gu was gone, and he had reverted to being no different from an ordinary person.

Judging from his condition, he was on the verge of death.

”Could that person in midair just now have been some sort of Immortal?” Thoughts whirled through Ye Guichen’s mind. Remembering that the other party hadn’t extracted the Corpse Gu from his own body, for now this was the only method left to treat Feng Wuxiu.

Whether it worked or not would depend on his own fortune.

Ye Guichen slit his wrist and pressed the wound to Feng Wuxiu’s lips, letting fresh blood drip into his mouth.

Feng Wuxiu’s body was already riddled with holes; even the Evergreen Wood Art could no longer save him.

The only hope now lay with these Corpse Gu.

Since Ye Guichen now had a coexistence relationship with the Corpse Gu, there were Corpse Gu in his flesh and blood as well.

These Corpse Gu seemed to have become parasites in Ye Guichen’s body. Though they couldn’t control Ye Guichen, they needed him as nourishment, relying on him to survive.

Of course, Ye Guichen was also unable to use their power.

But that didn’t stop Ye Guichen from trying to save someone this way.

As the blood dripped into Feng Wuxiu’s mouth, an astonishing scene unfolded.
