My Silly, Sweet Wife

Wenya said, ”I’m not sure if he’s lying to me now, but I feel like he’s not telling the truth. However, he does seem to have some understanding of our Thousand Mechanism Skill.”

”Senior Sister, do you really feel he knows the Thousand Mechanism Skill? Or do you think he can actually save Martial Uncle and Junior Brother?” Xiang Yun’s face was full of disbelief.

That kind of lost Thousand Mechanism Skill is looked down upon by people.

No matter how lifelike Martial Uncle seems, he is still just a puppet.

Moreover, Junior Brother has been completely transformed into a puppet as well, and now no one knows how much autonomy he still retains.

This advanced Thousand Mechanism Skill is something no one in the Qianji Sect knows.

No way, could it be the Sect Leader secretly practiced it?

The more Xiang Yun thought, the more confused he became.

He couldn’t understand why the Sect Leader practiced such an evil Thousand Mechanism Skill.

Even less could he understand why the Sect Leader would arrange Martial Uncle to be with them.

In the end, he simply decided not to think about anything, leaving everything to Wenya: ”Senior Sister, what do you say we should do?”

Wenya thought deeply, ”If Ye Guichen indeed has the skill, we can cooperate with him. Find a way to inform our master, let him decide whether to expose the Sect Leader or continue pretending not to know anything.”

”Senior Sister, if Martial Uncle and Junior Brother are indeed made by the Sect Leader, how can we pretend not to know? This is against the Heavenly Dao!” Xiang Yun was anxious.

Wenya raised her hand to interrupt Xiang Yun, ”Alright, let’s wait and see for now.”

Then she turned to look at Ye Guichen.

She saw Ye Guichen taking out two spirit stones with good luster.

Judging by the appearance of the spirit stones, they should be of high grade, even if not mid grade.

Ye Guichen took out the spirit stones and respectively stuffed them into Martial Uncle and Junior Brother’s mouths.

After finishing this, Ye Guichen stood up, ”I believe it won’t take long for them to wake up.”

Wenya hurriedly approached, ”Are you sure?”

”Of course, as far as I know, your Martial Uncle is completely driven by spirit stones. At that time, you didn’t know what mechanism was triggered, that mechanism instantly absorbed all the spiritual energy from the spirit stone within your Martial Uncle, leading to his injury-like state.”

Ye Guichen pointed at Junior Brother, explaining, ”Your Junior Brother’s situation should be different. Besides being injured, part of his body is also driven by spirit stones. With double damage, it led to this state. I have already healed the wounds of your Junior Brother and replenished his spiritual energy, he should wake up faster.”

Xiang Yun also approached, but he still held a skeptical attitude toward Ye Guichen’s words.

Many mechanisms of their Thousand Mechanism Skill are indeed driven by spirit stones, but most mechanisms do not use spirit stones.

After all, spirit stones are consumable, and puppets that use spirit stones are generally more advanced.

Like the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella used by Wenya, it doesn’t need spirit stone driving, rely on its intricate mechanisms.

But the wooden man Xiang Yun used before, which could autonomously fight against enemies, it must be driven by spirit stones.

That group of wooden men are called Wooden Armors, the most powerful puppets they could refine currently.

This time, they only brought four.

Unexpectedly, they were destroyed by Feng Wuxiu.

Although Xiang Yun felt immense regret, he had no choice.

Above the Wooden Armors, the higher the level of the puppet, the more spirit stones are required, and the higher the grade of spirit stones required.

Above Wooden Armors are Iron Armors, or Iron Armor Corpses.

Above that, there are Copper Armored Men, or perhaps Copper Armor Corpses.

Currently, the whole Qianji Sect can only produce Copper Armor Corpses.

The method of refining Copper Armor Corpses is completely different from Copper Armored Men.

The so-called Copper Armor Corpses are refined using the bodies of Body Cultivators, because the physique of Body Cultivators is extraordinary. Once their crucial bones are re-refined and driven by spirit stones, they become a powerful weapon.

Whereas Copper Armored Men, although called by this name, are not made from living people, but are prepared from copper and iron, similarly driven by spirit stones.

In terms of combat power, Copper Armor Corpses are stronger.

After all, Copper Armor Corpses are like zombies, more flexible than Copper Armored Men made with copper and iron, requiring relatively fewer spirit stones.

For the same level of combat, Copper Armor Corpses may fight for one hour, while Copper Armored Men might last only half an hour.

The disparity between the two is evident.

That’s why Wenya was so fascinated at Feng Wuxiu’s strong physique.

If Feng Wuxiu could be refined into Copper Armor Corpses, Wenya would indeed have a powerful puppet fighter.

Of course, having good materials does not mean it can be refined.

With Wenya’s current level of Thousand Mechanism Skill, it’s not easy to refine Copper Armor Corpses.

While Ye Guichen, Wenya, and Xiang Yun each had their thoughts, Junior Brother’s eyes slowly opened.

”Senior Sister, Senior Brother?” As soon as the little junior brother saw Wen Ya and Xiang Yun, he called out and struggled to sit up.

Wen Ya quickly went forward to support the little junior brother, ”Little junior brother, how do you feel?”

There was a hint of bewilderment in the little junior brother’s eyes, as if he had already forgotten what had happened before, ”Where are we? Did I fall asleep?”

”Chen Liu, where do you say we are?” Xiang Yun said, looking at the little junior brother with faint annoyance.

The little junior brother named Chen Liu noticed that Xiang Yun seemed upset and shakily stood up, appearing somewhat weak, ”Senior Brother, I really don’t remember what happened before. I just remember we were ordered by the Sect Leader to come to the Northern Wastes, seemingly to study that giant underground mechanism. That’s right, we should quickly find that mechanism. The Sect Leader did say that, whether or not we understand it within three years, we must return.”

As he spoke, Chen Liu held onto Wen Ya’s arm, apologetically, ”Senior Sister, how long was I asleep? How did I fall asleep? Please don’t blame me!”

Wen Ya saw that Chen Liu didn’t seem to be lying and sighed, ”You really don’t remember what happened before?”

”Senior Sister, why would I lie to you? Wait, did I forget something?” Chen Liu finally realized the meaning of Wen Ya’s words and asked urgently, ”Senior Sister, what do you mean?”

Wen Ya shook her head, choosing not to reveal that Chen Liu’s body had been altered, and instead glanced at Ye Guichen for confirmation.

He now inexplicably trusts Ye Guichen a little more.

Being able to see the problems with both the Martial Uncle and the little junior brother’s bodies and so easily awaken the little junior brother, Ye Guichen’s methods had already left Wen Ya in awe.

But the more that was the case, the more curious Wen Ya became about Ye Guichen’s true identity.

If Ye Guichen was under the Third Elder, with such skills, it would be impossible not to have met him or for him to remain so unremarkable for such a long time.

Therefore, Wen Ya speculated that Ye Guichen didn’t know the Third Elder at all and was merely deceiving them.

The little junior brother also noticed Ye Guichen and asked curiously, ”Senior Sister, who is he?”

Wen Ya replied, ”You were in a coma and seriously injured. It was he who saved you.”

”I was injured?” Little junior brother Chen Liu’s memory had clearly broken, and upon hearing this, he quickly checked his body, but after a long while, he found no wounds and his eyes were filled with even more confusion.

At that moment, a voice outside suddenly shouted urgently, ”Brother Ye, the Flood Dragon King has come personally. We should leave quickly!”

”What? The Flood Dragon King is here?” Wen Ya’s expression changed slightly.

They only intended to study the underground mechanism and had no desire to clash with these beasts.

Since killing Lady Python, Wen Ya understood that staying here any longer would not be easy.

She didn’t expect the Flood Dragon King to arrive so quickly.

”Roar!”

With a roar, the entire ground and air seemed to tremble.

An angry voice came from outside, ”Ignorant humans, how dare you recklessly kill my kin in my territory? Today, I will devour you all!”

Then, the sound of trees snapping and countless monstrous roars was heard.

Chu Yuanchen hurriedly rushed into the Black Wind Cave, his face ashen.

”Brother Ye, what are you waiting for? Let’s go! It is said that the Flood Dragon King is a super beast above the fourth grade Golden Core. Even if our Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect came personally, he might not be its match. If we don’t escape quickly, I fear there will be no other path than death!” Chu Yuanchen was clearly extremely apprehensive of the Flood Dragon King.

Bang!

Another dull crashing sound came from outside.

Feng Wuxiu’s voice also followed, ”Mr. Ye, quickly leave!”

It was clear that Feng Wuxiu had already engaged with the Flood Dragon King.

”Holy Envoy, you are here too? Are you with those human cultivators who killed the White Tiger and Lady Python?” The Flood Dragon King’s voice was filled with anger.

Luo Dan was already too frightened to move. She wanted to explain but found that facing the furious Flood Dragon King, she didn’t even have the courage to lie.

”Roar! Even though you are a Holy Envoy, daring to oppose me, the Flood Dragon King, leaves you no path but death!” The Flood Dragon King roared in anger again, and then Luo Dan’s fearful cry was heard, ”Senior Ye, save me...”

However, before she finished speaking, her voice was abruptly cut off.

The next moment, Feng Wuxiu was also hurled into the Black Wind Cave.

He looked severely injured, his limbs seemingly broken.

But, with sheer willpower and terrifying resilience, Feng Wuxiu still managed to rush in front of Ye Guichen.

”Luo Dan was swallowed by the Flood Dragon King. You go first, I’ll hold them off for a while!” Saying this, he turned to guard the entrance again.

Hearing that Luo Dan had been eaten by the Flood Dragon King, Chu Yuanchen’s face turned even paler.

Wen Ya and Xiang Yun clung closely together.

They too understood the horror of the Flood Dragon King.

Now that they had few mechanisms left on them, if they engaged in battle, they feared there would be no path but death.

And while Wen Ya and the others were struggling, a voice rang out again, ”Wen Ya, Xiang Yun, Chen Liu, I’ll go out and hold off the Flood Dragon King to help you escape.”

The three of them turned towards the direction of the voice and saw that their Martial Uncle had somehow already stood up.

However, at this moment, the Martial Uncle’s face was already covered in tears, his expression filled with longing and helplessness.
