My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Uncle, you, you killed Uncle?”

Seeing Third Elder dead, Fang Hai’s pupils contracted.

He didn’t know that Third Elder wasn’t killed by Ye Guichen, but now that Third Elder was dead at Ye Guichen’s hands, Fang Hai felt endless panic in his heart.

Not daring to stay any longer, Fang Hai quickly turned and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Ye Guichen did not pursue him.

He realized that the current situation seemed to have exceeded his imagination.

Chen Liu was incredibly anxious: ”Mr. Ye, Fang Hai has escaped. He will definitely report to the Sect Leader and other elders. Once they find out, you won’t be able to escape.”

Ye Guichen chuckled: ”I was planning to have a chat with your Sect Leader, why should I escape?”

”You...” Chen Liu was at a loss, suddenly unsure of what to say.

Ye Guichen was indeed powerful, but this was still Qianji Sect’s domain.

Even if Ye Guichen revealed Kunlun’s mechanism, what of it?

No one would admit it.

Besides, Wen Ya and Xiang Yun were also imprisoned, labeled as evil people. Who could prove Ye Guichen broke Kunlun’s mechanism?

Ye Guichen did not leave or pay any more attention to the anxious Chen Liu; instead, he sat cross-legged and waited quietly.

Meanwhile, in a palace-like structure, an elderly man with white hair and beard sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

In front of him were two Thousand Mechanism Beasts.

Among them, one was the Thousand Mechanism Beast that brought Ye Guichen to Qianji Sect earlier.

This person was none other than Wan Qianhuan, the Sect Leader of Qianji Sect.

As the Sect Leader of Qianji Sect, no one could rival his mastery of Thousand Mechanism Skills.

Wan Qianhuan devoted his life to studying Thousand Mechanism Skills, considering it the main cultivation method to save this world and benefit human cultivators.

He not only updated the original Thousand Mechanism Skills of Qianji Sect but also researched transforming living people into half-human, half-puppet beings.

That Chen Liu was one of his independently created half-human, half-puppet entities.

He believed that with some time for experimentation, even dead people could be resurrected, potentially even their souls being reshaped.

Though those resurrected through Thousand Mechanism Skills might no longer be considered human, they would be much stronger than corpses.

Opening his eyes to look at the Thousand Mechanism Beast before him, Wan Qianhuan sighed gently: ”That boy named Ye Guichen is indeed a master, even capable of breaking Kunlun’s mechanism, haha. But this world is far more complex than he imagines. Despite his talent, he is still too young.”

The Thousand Mechanism Beast seemed to understand, gently lowering its head and nuzzling Wan Qianhuan’s face twice.

Affection appeared on Wan Qianhuan’s face, and he gently stroked the nose of the Thousand Mechanism Beast twice: ”Ning Xiang, you don’t blame me, do you?”

The Thousand Mechanism Beast showed a human-like smile, shaking its head lightly, and surprisingly spoke: ”Wan Qianhuan, I was supposed to die at the hands of the Corpse Clan back then when you saved my remnant spirit and reshaped me like this now. I am already very satisfied. What is there to blame?”

Wan Qianhuan’s eyes reddened slightly: ”Yet I still can’t truly resurrect you.”

”Wan Qianhuan, life and death are governed by fate. If the dead are resurrected, it defies the Heavenly Dao.” The Thousand Mechanism Beast sighed softly, speaking softly: ”I have tested that boy named Ye Guichen for you. His mastery of Thousand Mechanism Skills is impressive, but he seems unaware of how perilous the human world is nowadays. Haha, even the Third Elder thought he controlled everything, locked Wen Ya away, wanting to blind your eyes, but he doesn’t know everything is under your control.”

Wan Qianhuan revealed a bitter smile: ”What of control? After so many years of research, I can only create half-human, half-puppet beings, unable to truly merge souls into puppets, unable to resurrect you. I am too useless.”

”It’s okay, Wan Qianhuan, the past is the past. Accompanying you this way, I am already fully content.”

Saying this, the Thousand Mechanism Beast slowly lay down.

A trace of reluctance flashed in Wan Qianhuan’s eyes, but he still took out a small black bottle, aiming it at the Thousand Mechanism Beast’s mouth.

A wisp of black mist, human-like, floated out from the Thousand Mechanism Beast and fell into the bottle.

After the black mist completely dispersed, the Thousand Mechanism Beast was like a dead object, motionless.

Wan Qianhuan put away the small bottle, sighing deeply: ”Alas, even though I can attach your soul to a puppet, the time is too short.”

Just then, a loud noise erupted from outside.

Someone shouted: ”Sect Leader, uncle is dead, you must avenge him!”

”What? Third Elder is dead, what’s going on?”

”Fang Hai, what nonsense are you spouting? What kind of person is Third Elder, how could he suddenly die?”

Clearly, Third Elder’s death was too abrupt, occurring within Qianji Sect itself, inexplicably giving an absurd feeling.

Fang Hai cried out: ”It’s that evil person named Ye Guichen, Chen Liu let him in, and he killed uncle. Sect Leader, that evil person is in cahoots with Wen Ya; you must avenge uncle!”

The chaotic shouting grew louder and louder.

Wan Qianhuan’s brow furrowed.

He lifted his robe and slowly stood up.

Below the robe, a pair of metal-like legs were exposed.

Those were not human legs but legs made of steel.

Walking outside, looking at the gathered disciples of the Qianji Sect, Wan Qianhuan pressed his hand down lightly, and the noise instantly ceased.

”Sect Leader!” Upon seeing Wan Qianhuan come out, Fang Hai knelt to the ground with a thud, crying out: ”Uncle was killed by evil people; please avenge him!”

Wan Qianhuan’s face remained calm, emotionless, as he said: ”The true evil person was Third Elder. How could Ye Guichen be the evil person?”

Wow!

With this statement, there was an uproar.

”This, how is this possible!”

”Sect Leader, could there be some misunderstanding?”

”Exactly, Third Elder has been in our Qianji Sect for a long time, how could he be an evil person?”

”Sect Leader, have you lost your mind?”

Fang Hai was dumbfounded, voicing his doubts first.

Though others had similar thoughts, none dared to express them.

Wan Qianhuan sneered: ”Have I lost my mind? Haha, well then, let me show you!”

Saying that, Wan Qianhuan made a motion and a white bottle appeared in his hand.

Then, he threw the white bottle in front of Fang Hai: ”Do you dare drink the blood water in this bottle?”

Fang Hai stared at the white bottle, somewhat confused: ”Sect Leader, what is this?”

”Blood Demon Water.” Wan Qianhuan said: ”This Blood Demon Water was specifically refined by the Demon Clan. As long as someone drinks this Blood Demon Water, the bloodline of the Demon Clan within them will be activated, transforming them into the form of a magical beast. Although Third Elder wasn’t part of the Demon Clan, he had close ties with them, and you...”

Wan Qianhuan suddenly pointed at Fang Hai: ”You are a half-demon person; you probably don’t know it yourself.”

”What?”

”Impossible! Sect Leader, you, you are talking nonsense!”

”I don’t believe it! I am obviously human, how could I be half-demon?”

Panic flashed across Fang Hai’s face.

But he still picked up the white bottle and drank it all with his head tilted back: ”I am not a demon; I am not a demon; I am human; I distinctly...”

However, before finishing, Fang Hai’s voice abruptly stopped.

His pupils enlarged, seemingly sensing some change, and a muffled roar emerged from his throat.

Then, under the watchful eyes of all, Fang Hai’s body began to expand.

His clothes could no longer cover his swelling body.

In less than a minute, Fang Hai had grown to two or three meters in height, revealing a black dog.

Indeed!

Fang Hai’s true form was a black dog.

People from Qianji Sect exclaimed in shock upon seeing this.

They quickly surrounded Fang Hai.

Fang Hai was extremely panicked, his eyes filled with confusion.

Seeing he couldn’t escape, Fang Hai suddenly knelt on his forelegs toward Wan Qianhuan, kneeling in a supplicating manner.

Wan Qianhuan sighed, ”Many half-demons in this world are unaware of their lineage; they do not wish to be this way. But a demon is still a demon. Since humanity began, the Demon Clan and humans have always stood opposed! They treat humans with extreme cruelty, eating bones, drinking blood! This enmity cannot be easily eradicated!”

After he finished speaking, Wan Qianhuan flicked his finger.

A flash of white light entered Fang Hai’s forehead.

”Fang Hai has half-demon blood in him. After his death, lay him to rest according to human customs!”

Without looking at the slowly collapsing Fang Hai, Wan Qianhuan jumped into the air, heading toward where Ye Guichen was hiding.

Looking back at Fang Hai, a bloody hole appeared in his forehead.

His gaze conveyed reluctance.

”Why am I a demon...” he murmured, his eyes wide open.
