My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ever since following Ye Guichen, the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf has been eating the inner cores of demon beasts daily as if they were regular meals. Moreover, being an extraordinary beast itself, its cultivation has been rising as swiftly as if on a rocket.

Although it still doesn’t have the ability to transform, it can easily fight against two or three Tiger Demons who are only half-demons.

So, just being stared at by the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf made the Tiger Demon shiver all over, showing an awkward smile on its enormous tiger face.

As if saying, I won’t escape, rest assured.

Ye Guichen paid no attention to the Tiger Demon but followed Chen Liangce and Feng Zhuo into the camp.

Upon understanding the situation over this period, Ye Guichen realized there’s only one solution now, to directly head to the Northern North Desolation and take action against the Demon Clan.

Otherwise, relying on those people of the Xuantian Sect, under sporadic attacks by the Demon Clan, their ultimate fate would likely be total annihilation.

”Mr. Ye, we haven’t been idle during this time, basically have a full grasp of the situation in the North Desolation,” Chen Liangce said respectfully.

Ye Guichen showed a look of interest: ”Tell me about it.”

Chen Liangce nodded and began to explain: ”According to what we’ve discovered, the strongest figure among the Demon Clan in the Northern North Desolation is referred to as the North Desolation Demon King. Allegedly a super Great Demon with a true form as a Flood Dragon; it is said to have achieved Core Formation, but exactly at which level of Golden Core, we do not yet know.”

”In addition to this, the Flood Dragon King has five powerful demon followers, all half-demons at the Golden Core Realm, with true forms of Python, Golden Eagle, White Tiger, Black Fox, and Pig Demon. These five occupy the Northern North Desolation and occasionally send their underlings to harass us.”

”And this Northern North Desolation stretches for thousands of miles, though labeled as North Desolation, half of it is covered by giant trees. These Great Demons are tangled up in this dense forest, which is extremely disadvantageous to us.”

”Moreover, from what I know, the number of demon beasts in the North Desolation is nearly a million, with almost a hundred thousand half-demons. Our ten thousand troops may seem plenty, but if we delve into the North Desolation, we might never emerge again.”

After listening, Ye Guichen’s brows could not help but tighten.

A million demon beasts, a hundred thousand half-demons.

With so many of the Demon Clan, if they invade the Daqian Dynasty on a large scale, it would be catastrophic.

”Have there been sightings of those Holy Envoys from the Holy Temple during this period?” Ye Guichen suddenly thought that these half-demons could awaken their demon clan bloodlines because of those Holy Envoys from the Holy Temple.

However, it seems those Holy Envoys haven’t appeared for a long time.

Chen Liangce shook his head upon hearing this: ”I find it strange too. Now that half-demons are rampant, the Holy Envoys from the Holy Temple have disappeared. Perhaps they are hiding in the dark, preparing to watch the chaos unfold.”

While Ye Guichen was discussing with everyone, someone came to report that people from the Xuantian Sect had arrived.

Ye Guichen gestured for them to be let in.

Three people arrived from the Xuantian Sect, with a young man in the lead, appearing slightly over thirty, in a robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite handsome indeed.

Beside the young man were two disciples, a man and a woman.

Upon seeing the female disciple, Ye Guichen was slightly taken aback; it was Qi Fang, the one he had encountered before who had almost been eaten by the Wolf Demon.

Qi Fang was also stunned upon seeing Ye Guichen: ”Is it you?”

”How’s this, Junior Sister, do you know him?” the leading young man turned and glanced at Qi Fang.

Qi Fang pointed at Ye Guichen in surprise: ”Senior Brother, it’s him! My brother Lu Ming and I almost got devoured by the Wolf Demon, and he saved us. Later, he left riding the Tiger Demon, and I thought we would never meet him again.”

”One sword to slay the Wolf Demon and rides the Tiger Demon?” The youth leader sneered subtly at the corner of his mouth.

Sounds too exaggerated.

Most likely, they were so frightened at the time that they imagined things?

Ye Guichen was also surprised, ”Miss Qi, don’t be overly polite, it was just a casual help.”

”Senior, why are you in this Daqian military camp?” Qi Fang curiously asked.

”Oh, this is the commander of our ten thousand troops, Ye Guichen.” Chen Liangce explained.

”What? He is Ye Guichen?” Qi Fang exclaimed, covering her mouth, full of astonishment, unconsciously lowering her head, with a shy flush appearing on her cheeks.

Ye Guichen politely cupped his hands: ”I am called Ye Guichen.”

”I am Chu Yuanchen, the leading disciple of the younger generation in the Xuantian Sect,” the man introduced himself suddenly. ”I met Junior Sister Qi Fang on the way, so I let Junior Brother Lu Ming go back to report, bringing Junior Sister Qi Fang along, never expecting to meet her savior. Truly a coincidence!”

Though the tone of Chu Yuanchen’s words carried politeness, there was a hint of skepticism in his voice.

As the leading disciple of the Xuantian Sect, his cultivation is naturally not weak, now reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment Realm’s eight layers, only a step away from the ninth layer.

When he entered, he deliberately observed Ye Guichen and found him merely at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment.

Such youthful attainment of the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment is indeed genius.

But to be the commander of ten thousand troops, it is far from sufficient.

Moreover, fighting against demon beasts is not solely dependent on cultivation.

Especially given that those half-demons besieging Qi Fang’s group were not weak, each one not lesser in power than Ye Guichen, yet allegedly subdued thoroughly by him?

It’s something nobody would believe if told.

Hence, Chu Yuanchen was somewhat skeptical whether Ye Guichen might have used some illusion or trickery.

Ye Guichen could discern the skepticism in Chu Yuanchen’s words.

However, he didn’t take Chu Yuanchen’s doubts to heart, instead, he smiled, ”I wonder what brings Brother Chu here?”

Chu Yuanchen did not hide his intentions and said with cupped hands, ”For months, our Xuantian Sect has sacrificed many fellow disciples to fight against the Demon Clan in the Northern North Desolation. But after all, we are all human cultivators. As the foremost sect within the Daqian Dynasty, our Xuantian Sect must not be complacent. However, now that the army of your Daqian Dynasty has arrived, the Demon Clan has changed their strategy, which is giving the Sect Master a headache.”

”So, the Sect Master came up with a plan. Since the Demon Clan aims to kill the experts among us human cultivators, we can, of course, do the same to them.”

”Chu, am I right to assume you mean to join forces with the people of our Daqian Dynasty to penetrate the Northern North Desolation and eliminate the leaders of the Demon Clan there?” Chen Liangce asked with a smile.

Chu Yuanchen nodded, ”That’s right, that’s exactly the idea. In the Northern North Desolation, there is a North Desolation Demon King and five Demon Generals. If we can kill those five Demon Generals, it would be like cutting off the arms of the Demon King. At that time, the Demon Clan would surely descend into chaos, and we could march into the Northern North Desolation in one stroke and annihilate the Demon Clan, never daring to invade our Daqian Dynasty again.”

Ye Guichen understood Chu Yuanchen’s intention upon hearing this.

The idea of Xuantian Sect is indeed good, but since they are five Demon Generals, their strength is certainly not ordinary, and there are surely many demonic beasts and half-demons around them. How easy would it be to carry out an assassination?

Chen Liangce evidently thought of this too: ”The idea of your sect is indeed good, but where those five demons are located, we do not know. Even if we did know, how would we enter the places they stay to assassinate them?”

Chu Yuanchen sneered, ”What, from your words, do I sense a timidity even before the battle?”

”Hehe, Chu, your words are mistaken. Since you have come to discuss with us, you should naturally have already thought of a strategy, and we have the right to hear it, don’t we?” Chen Liangce retorted sarcastically.

He also clearly heard the disdain in Chu Yuanchen’s words towards Ye Guichen, probably thinking that Ye Guichen was young and of low cultivation, yet commanding a hundred thousand troops. It seemed like Qin Cangqiong was making a joke of these hundred thousand lives, wasn’t he?

However, they knew of Ye Guichen’s abilities and were determined to follow him. If someone dared doubt Ye Guichen, they naturally wouldn’t be polite.

No matter if you are from Xuantian Sect or someone else, just push back.

Chu Yuanchen saw that Chen Liangce intended to protect Ye Guichen, but sneered, ”Why, after so much talk, the commander has not spoken, yet all his subordinates have. Brother Ye, does it mean you don’t have the final say in this military camp?”

Ye Guichen smiled wryly.

This Chu Yuanchen, although not lacking in cultivation, was arrogant and too self-confident.

Since the moment he came in, he had an attitude. He surely didn’t believe the story of Ye Guichen killing the Wolf Demon.

”Hehe, when my people speak, they naturally represent me. What, is there a problem with that?” Ye Guichen retorted sarcastically, ”Since you have come to discuss with us, shouldn’t you make a position clear instead of sending us to our deaths?”

”Hmph, since we are going deep into the Northern North Desolation, it’s naturally a journey of nine deaths and one life. What, are you afraid?” Chu Yuanchen snorted coldly, ”It seems that as the commander of this hundred thousand strong army, you only dare to shrink like a turtle among them and don’t dare to leave, do you?”

”Nonsense!” Feng Zhuo trembled with anger, ”How dare you insult Mr. Ye!”

As he spoke, his clothes swelled with a momentum like that of a beating drum, ready for a fight.

Chu Yuanchen was not to be outdone.

Qi Fang, however, was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

She didn’t understand how they ended up quarreling, ”Senior Brother, everyone, what are you doing? We are discussing how to deal with the Demon Clan!”

Ye Guichen waved his hand to signal Feng Zhuo not to act rashly.

Feng Zhuo snorted, withdrew his momentum, and turned away from looking at Chu Yuanchen.

Then, Ye Guichen also signaled Chen Liangce not to speak, and he himself walked up to Chu Yuanchen, ”Brother Chu, since your Sect Master sent you to negotiate, I assume you have a plan. If you remain silent, then we may as well fight separately.”

”You...” Chu Yuanchen was not expecting Ye Guichen to speak so boldly.

Although they had a hundred thousand troops, preventing intrusion or assassination by Great Demon Kings would not be an easy task.

So, from Chu Yuanchen’s perspective, Ye Guichen would still have to rely on their Xuantian Sect.

However, from the way Ye Guichen spoke, it seemed he did not care about them at all.

”Brother Ye, you know that the deceitfulness of the Demon Clan is no less than that of us human cultivators, right?” Chu Yuanchen countered.

Ye Guichen nodded slightly, ”Of course, but even if they’re strong, they are still beasts. So, I have nothing to fear. If I want to, within a month, I’ll annihilate them, making those demonic beasts dare not take a step out of the Northern North Desolation.”

”Haha, haha, how arrogant!”

Chu Yuanchen laughed at Ye Guichen’s words as if he heard the funniest joke in the world.

To annihilate the Demon King and make the Demon Clan not dare to step out of the Northern North Desolation in a month’s time, even the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect wouldn’t say such a thing.

Ye Guichen, this fellow, had just arrived at the border and most likely hadn’t even figured out the situation, right?

To make such boastful claims, maybe he had some connection with Qin Cangqiong and was just sent here to gain some credentials?

In his heart, he looked down on Ye Guichen more and more.

Moreover, Chu Yuanchen was becoming more convinced of his suspicions.

Originally, Ye Guichen had used some trick to kill the Wolf Demon, deceiving Qi Fang and the others into greatly respecting him, even calling him a senior.

”Turns out to be an ignorant fool.” Chu Yuanchen no longer wanted to waste words with Ye Guichen, ”Since you claim such capability, I’ll hold you to it and watch with keen anticipation.”

With that, Chu Yuanchen turned and left in a huff.

Qi Fang, utterly embarrassed, bowed to Ye Guichen and quickly followed.

Chen Liangce’s eyes were complicated as he watched Chu Yuanchen’s back, asking in a deep voice, ”Mr. Ye, do you really not intend to join forces with Xuantian Sect?”

Ye Guichen frowned, ”It’s not impossible to join forces, but they seem to have a prejudice against us, thinking we only rely on numbers. Even if we join forces, they probably won’t respect us and might bind our actions. However, the suggestion from Xuantian Sect is indeed good...”

After a moment of silence, Ye Guichen, with his hand on his chin, mused: ”Haha, since the Demon Clan wishes to assassinate the experts among us human cultivators, we might as well return the favor with their own tactic!”
