My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Since you’re the Snake Woman’s son, you shouldn’t be meddling in this matter.”

”The Snake Woman was originally appointed by the Immortal Realm to guard the Hidden Gate, and now it’s precisely because her watch was lax that the Hidden Gate was opened. Yet you, her son, actually dare show up in front of us.”

”Today I’ll carry out punishment on behalf of the Immortal Realm.”

Seeing Ye Guichen’s easygoing, cloudless expression, Hua Qing’s anger surged uncontrollably.

”Wang Hui! Go kill him for me!”

Wang Hui, standing to the side, froze for a moment at Hua Qing’s words, then slowly hefted the Nine Heavens Hammer and ambled toward Ye Guichen.

”Kid, how do you want to die?”

Looking at Ye Guichen, who was only at third level Earth Immortal, Wang Hui’s eyes also filled with contempt. After all, it had been a long time since he’d run into a Loose Cultivator Immortal.

”Oh? Come on then.”

Ye Guichen crooked a finger at Wang Hui, a mocking look on his face.

Seeing Ye Guichen’s frivolous attitude, Wang Hui stopped hesitating. He directly swung the meteor hammers down at Ye Guichen. Using inertia, the two meteor hammers’ power kept rising, and by the time they reached Ye Guichen again, they already carried the might to destroy heaven and earth.

Everyone watching this scene covered their eyes, as if unwilling to witness the bloody spectacle that was about to follow.

With a ferocious grin on his face, Wang Hui brought the Nine Heavens Hammer down toward the top of Ye Guichen’s head with terrifying force.

Just as the Nine Heavens Hammer was about to smash onto Ye Guichen’s head, Ye Guichen slowly raised two fingers, lifting them slightly.

The Nine Heavens Hammer stopped in midair two centimeters above Ye Guichen’s head, unable to drop even a fraction further.

The entire place fell silent in an instant.

”Th-this… how is this possible…”

Hua Qing clearly hadn’t expected things to turn out like this either.

He knew Wang Hui’s Nine Heavens Hammer’s power from personal experience; even he absolutely wouldn’t dare to take it head-on.

Yet the Ye Guichen in front of them seemed as calm as ever, using just two fingers to forcibly withstand Wang Hui’s strike, even though this wasn’t Wang Hui’s full strength.

But even so, it shouldn’t be something a mere third-level Earth Immortal could resist!

And judging from the kid’s expression, it didn’t even look like he was using his full strength. Seems they really couldn’t afford to look down on this kid—he was way too strange.

The people around, hearing no sound for a long while, couldn’t help but open their eyes.

One look, and they were instantly stunned by the scene before them.

Especially Haotian, who had gone through the Sealing Immortal Array; he had personally experienced Wang Hui’s strength.

With the Sealing Immortal Array, he had only barely managed to suppress Wang Hui. Yet Ye Guichen had blocked the Nine Heavens Hammer’s might with just two fingers—this was something Haotian simply couldn’t accept.

Haotian stared dumbfounded at Ye Guichen, and for the first time, a trace of hope rose in his heart toward the figure before him.

Seeing his Nine Heavens Hammer blocked by Ye Guichen’s two fingers, Wang Hui immediately felt his face stripped of all dignity.

His figure suddenly retreated in a blur, rapidly opening up distance from Ye Guichen.

”Ye Guichen, this is bad, he’s going to use that move—be careful!”

Seeing the power starting to gather around Wang Hui’s body, Haotian couldn’t help feeling worried for Ye Guichen.

He had personally experienced the terror of the Nine Heavens Meteor Fall—if not for the strand of Swallowing Heaven Seal the Demon Saint had passed to him, he would have been blasted to death outright without that swordsman even needing to make a move.

Right now he could only hope Ye Guichen would be able to withstand this strike.

”Kid, I’ll let you taste the power of my Nine Heavens Meteor Fall.”

A vicious glint flashed across Wang Hui’s face as he kept condensing his strength, determined to crush Ye Guichen with one hammer blow.

”Oh, come on then, let me see just how impressive that busted hammer of yours really is.”

Ye Guichen stood calmly in place, quietly waiting.

”Nine Heavens Meteor Fall!”

Wang Hui hurled the Nine Heavens Hammer with all his might. Its inertia in the air kept climbing, accompanied by faint howls of wind, and the hammer was even wrapped in golden True Qi, crashing toward Ye Guichen like a falling meteor.

Ye Guichen planted his feet, secretly operating the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill, gathering all his strength into his two fists.

”Boom!”

Facing the incoming Nine Heavens Hammer, Ye Guichen remained expressionless. He slammed both fists into the hammer, dragon roars ringing out from the surface of his fists, resounding through heaven and earth.

Hearing the dragon’s roar, everyone around hurriedly covered their ears; some slower to react had fresh blood seeping from their ears.

The two fists collided with the Nine Heavens Hammer, and the hammer seemed to suffer a heavy blow, reversing along its original trajectory and flying back even faster.

”Thi—…”

Wang Hui stared blankly as his Nine Heavens Hammer flew back toward him, stunned where he stood, dazedly gazing ahead.

Just as the Nine Heavens Hammer was about to smash into Wang Hui, a void sword shadow suddenly cleaved down, with terrifying force blasting the hammer off to the side.

”Sir, there’s no need to go so hard, is there?”

Liu Bai stood by Wang Hui’s side, his voice calm as he looked at Ye Guichen.

”Going hard? If I didn’t have this level of strength, I’d be the one dead, wouldn’t I?”

”Would you still be telling me not to go hard then?”

Hearing Liu Bai’s words, Ye Guichen’s anger flared. He had actually held some goodwill toward Liu Bai at first—after all, just his perseverance in sword cultivation was enough to earn Ye Guichen’s respect.

He hadn’t expected that while Liu Bai’s sword cultivation was decent, his ability to distinguish right from wrong was sorely lacking.

”Uh…”

Hearing Ye Guichen’s words, Liu Bai couldn’t help showing an awkward expression.

”Liu, since this brat wants to suppress Junior Brother Wang…”
