My Silly, Sweet Wife

Otherwise he wouldn’t have been forced by those Immortals to come to this desolate, uninhabited place.

Now seeing Ye Guichen, in the Immortal Realm, wielding ten thousand swords, the Demon Saint couldn’t help recalling the flamboyant days of the Carefree Sword Immortal, and actually started worrying in secret.

”Since one sword can’t cut it down, then I’ll use ten thousand Immortal Swords at once and see if that can do it!”

Ye Guichen’s mind controlled all ten thousand swords at once, feeling the joy and shouting surging back from them.

In his heart he could already empathize with how the Carefree Sword Immortal back then must have been, high-spirited and living freely.

”Hahaha, ten thousand swords to slay an Immortal!”

Ye Guichen laughed loudly, and at the same time wielded the ten thousand swords to unleash the Immortal Slayer Sword. Countless cyan-white sword beams swept toward the Swallowing Heaven Seal.

For a moment the sky was filled with sword light, countless strands of Sword Qi crisscrossing.

How could the Swallowing Heaven Seal withstand this relentless barrage? After enduring hundreds and thousands of ”Immortal Slayer” strikes, it instantly shattered on the spot.

With the Swallowing Heaven Seal broken, the remaining sword beams immediately shot toward the Demon Saint.

”Fuck, this brat really wants to play me to death!”

Seeing the ten thousand streams of sword light in front of him, the Demon Saint’s face had long gone dark, and in his heart he’d already cursed Ye Guichen hundreds and thousands of times.

There was no way he dared to resist that ten-thousandfold sword light alone.

The Demon Saint’s figure suddenly shifted, revealing his true form: a blue-black rat appeared before Ye Guichen.

Then he gave a forceful hop downward; a hole instantly opened in the ground, and he burrowed into the earth, fleeing rapidly into the distance.

”Can’t win, so he’s actually starting to dig holes!”

Ye Guichen was momentarily stunned by the Demon Saint’s reaction.

Then he burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.

How could he know just how stifled the Demon Saint felt right now? He, the dignified Holy Master of the Demon Clan, was actually being chased and beaten by a snot-nosed kid who’d only just stepped into the Immortal Realm.

Who could tolerate such humiliation? He’d even been forced to revert to his true form.

He hadn’t shown his true body in front of outsiders for who knows how many years; the last time had been when he was fleeing for his life from the Buddha. He never expected that the next time he revealed it would also be to run for his life.

Only this time, the roles were worlds apart.

”Bang bang bang!!!”

The Demon Saint kept darting around underground, while endless sword light rained down onto the ground above.

As the sword light fell, the ground instantly became a complete mess.

In the blink of an eye, the sword light had entirely faded away. By now the Demon Saint had turned back into human form, standing there, glaring angrily at Ye Guichen, looking like a man-eating resentful shrew who wanted to swallow Ye Guichen whole.

”Still want to go again?”

Seeing the Demon Saint’s puffed-up look, Ye Guichen made a show of preparing to unleash the Immortal Slayer Sword once more.

”Don’t, don’t….”

Seeing Ye Guichen’s movements, the Demon Saint hurriedly begged for mercy.

”I haven’t moved around in hundreds of years—can’t you let these old bones rest a bit?”

The Demon Saint kept shooting aggrieved looks at Ye Guichen.

”Hmph, come with me!”

With that, Ye Guichen activated his movement technique and swiftly streaked off in the Snake Woman’s direction.

....

”Chenchen… you’re back!”

The worried Snake Woman saw Ye Guichen return safe and sound and joyfully went up to greet him.

Her beautiful eyes kept roaming over Ye Guichen’s body, as if checking whether he’d been hurt.

”Mom, don’t worry, I’ve already passed the tribulation successfully.”

Hearing Ye Guichen’s words, the Snake Woman was slightly stunned, then overjoyed.

”Chenchen, you’ve already become an Immortal?”

”Yes, Mother. I now have the power to protect you.”

”Once we’re done dealing with things here, I’ll take you away from this place to meet your daughter-in-law, and my father...”

When he said the word ”father,” Ye Guichen’s voice paused for a moment, and deep desolation flashed in his eyes.

The family had still never managed to reunite.

Ye Guichen felt a quiet sadness in his heart.

The Snake Woman seemed to notice Ye Guichen’s change. She gently stroked his head, a kindly smile on her face.

”Where is Lord Demon Saint?”

The Snake Woman looked around and realized that the Demon Saint, who’d originally gone off with Ye Guichen, hadn’t returned with him. She couldn’t help feeling worried.

”Lord Demon Saint wouldn’t have...”

The Snake Woman seemed to think of something bad, and her brows furrowed tightly.

”Hey, isn’t that him?”

Ye Guichen pointed at a dejected figure in the distance.

The old man’s clothes were already in tatters, his brows drooping like the character for ”eight,” and his eyes kept looking at Ye Guichen, full of anger yet also deep dread.

”This… Lord Demon Saint, how did you end up like this?”

”Was it for Chenchen’s Heavenly Tribulation?”

The Snake Woman asked in shock.

”Hmph! Who else but your precious son pulled this crap!”

The Demon Saint snapped back irritably, then turned his head away, not wanting his dignity to be ruined completely.

”Chenchen, what did you do?”

The Snake Woman stared at Ye Guichen in disbelief.

”Mom, it’s nothing, I just sparred a little with Lord Demon Saint, that’s all.”

Ye Guichen said lightly.

Listening to Ye Guichen, the Demon Saint almost rolled his eyes and fainted from anger, letting out a cold snort.

”Brat, come here, I have something to discuss with you.” The Demon Saint slowly got to his feet, looking at Ye Guichen with a solemn expression.
