My Silly, Sweet Wife

Before them stood a man and a woman, both with furrowed brows, examining their surroundings.

The man looked at Haotian with a sinister gaze and said, ”I wonder why the Young Master of the Demon Clan has gone to such lengths to capture us.”

Haotian noticed the man’s expression, his own demeanor turning cold as he glanced at the woman beside him, who was trembling and seemed lost in thought.

”Ghost Lady,” Haotian called out to the figure behind him.

”Here, at your service.” Ghost Lady hurried forward upon hearing Haotian, looking at him respectfully.

”Do you know what position this woman held at Netherworld Mountain?” Haotian whispered in Ghost Lady’s ear.

”My lord, this incarnation was found in the dungeon of Netherworld Mountain. She had been imprisoned for decades, unnoticed due to her lowly status. However, during a recent visit to the dungeon, I discovered her curled up in a corner and became suspicious. Upon closer inspection, I realized her true identity and promptly brought her here to present to the Young Master,” Ghost Lady explained carefully in Haotian’s ear.

”Oh? Is that so? Interesting. No wonder this incarnation doesn’t radiate the arrogance typical of others but instead cringes away, unlike the Snake Woman’s proud nature. It seems that years of whipping have gradually worn down the proud spirit she should possess.”

Haotian slowly approached the woman, speaking softly, ”Would you like to replace Snake Woman and become her true controller?”

His voice carried a strong bewitching power, constantly unsettling the woman’s mind.

The man hurriedly shouted in anxiety upon seeing Haotian’s actions, ”Our Snake Woman lineage has always been of noble blood and would never submit to you!”

As he spoke, the man glanced at the surrounding women, as if reminding them not to forget their mission.

Seeing the man’s audacity to sow panic without permission, Haotian firmly grasped his hand, capturing the man’s soul and holding it tight, abruptly silencing him.

Seeing the man beside her subdued with force, the woman’s mind grew even more frantic, constantly dodging Haotian’s gaze, fearing she would meet the same tragic fate.

”How about it? As long as you agree, I will consolidate all the power of the Snake Woman’s incarnations into you. Then, with my help, you’ll become the new Snake Woman, the emblem of purity for the new generation of the Demon Clan.” Haotian smiled warmly at the woman, continuously swaying her mind.

The woman slowly raised her head to look at Haotian, her thin, pale face revealing deep hesitation.

”Ever since being imprisoned, every day has been a life of suffering, enduring hellish pain daily. As an incarnation of Snake Woman, I wasn’t supposed to endure such agony. Why? Why, after separating me, did she leave me to suffer the pain she should have borne herself?” As she pondered these thoughts, the hesitation in her eyes gradually faded.

A sinister and terrifying grin bloomed like a blood-red flower beside the woman.

The Ghost Lady and Corpse King nearby witnessed the expression on the woman’s face, and despite surviving countless massacres, they involuntarily felt a chill at the coldness within her heart.

On the other side, Haotian observed the change in the woman’s expression, genuinely delighted to see the results of his manipulation.

”How will you help me?” The woman asked with a bizarre smile, looking at Haotian darkly.

Her gaze held no trace of fear; on the contrary, it had a sense of superiority, with a lofty and chilling aura that kept others at a distance.

”Very good,” Haotian responded with satisfaction, tossing the soul he held onto the ground before the woman.

”Let’s start by absorbing this soul!” Haotian said confidently.

”Alright!” Upon seeing the essence of Snake Woman’s soul before her, the woman no longer hesitated, swallowing it whole and sitting cross-legged to start refining it.

”Young Master, just allowing her to absorb the essence of Snake Woman, what if she’s feigning submission? Wouldn’t that help her regain her strength?” Ghost Lady expressed concern from the side.

”Hmph, you think I lack intelligence?” Haotian retorted angrily upon hearing Ghost Lady’s words.

Ghost Lady, fearful, knelt down trembling, saying humbly, ”I dare not; please spare me, Young Master!”

Corpse King, seeing Ghost Lady’s demeanor, displayed a sneer in his eyes, as if thinking how foolish she was not to know the simple rule that disaster comes from careless speech.

”Hmph, if it happens again, there’s no place for your Ghost Clan in this world,” Haotian snorted coldly, speaking with superiority.

”I’ve already infused a trace of my life essence blood into the soul and planted my life gu. If she dares defy my orders, her only fate is destruction.” Haotian looked at the woman with certainty.

”Wise Young Master, once this succeeds, it will undoubtedly help you break the hidden seal and achieve everlasting greatness for the Demon Clan!” Corpse King flattered from the side.

”What are you two dawdling for? Find all of Snake Woman’s incarnations and retrieve everything suitable for her assimilation. I must quickly enhance her cultivation before Snake Woman’s original body recovers,” Haotian commanded the two behind him.
