My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Master, what do you mean by this?” Old Ghost looked at the pill but did not take it, instead, he asked with a confused expression.

”Seven Breathes Intestine-breaking Pill. After taking this poison, within seven breaths, the intestines will twist in excruciating pain, leading to death.” Luo Youdao seemed to have no intention of hiding anything and said with a faint smile, ”Old Ghost, I suspect you placed a Yin Yang Talisman on me. So, to prove your innocence, take this Seven Breathes Intestine-breaking Pill, and I will still trust you!”

Old Ghost’s lips trembled, and his expression turned a bit unsightly, ”Master, what do you mean? You suspect I placed a Yin Yang Talisman on you? Are you joking with me?”

Then, he pointed to Ye Guichen, ”It must be he who told you this, right? Do you prefer believing an outsider over trusting me?”

”Take it!” Luo Youdao’s expression had already turned icy, obviously deepening his suspicion towards Old Ghost.

Ye Guichen folded his arms and looked on with great interest.

He did not expect Luo Youdao to be so ruthless.

Confronting Old Ghost, who had grown up with him, Luo Youdao didn’t bother to ask any more questions and directly asked him to take this poison.

But this also demonstrated Luo Youdao’s high level of skill. After all, no matter how much was said, it would be useless; only the threat of death could prove innocence.

Sure enough, Old Ghost did not reach to take the Seven Breathes Intestine-breaking Pill. Seeing Luo Youdao still pressing him to take the pill, he laughed crazily, ”Haha, Luo Youdao, after serving you for so many years, you choose not to believe me but an outsider! Well then, there’s nothing more to say!”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly struck at Ye Guichen, intending to kill him on the spot.

This time, Old Ghost used all his strength, confident that his surprise attack would succeed.

However, just as he turned, his body suddenly froze.

He slowly lowered his head and saw a sharp spike protruding from his heart.

Struggling, he turned his head to look at Luo Youdao: ”Master, you, you actually…”

With a flip of his eyelids, he fell over the table.

Even in death, Old Ghost didn’t expect Luo Youdao had hidden his true prowess.

Old Ghost was a top-notch master, albeit recently promoted, making it almost impossible for an ordinary person to surprise attack him.

But just now, while attacking Ye Guichen, Old Ghost hadn’t sensed any murderous intent from Luo Youdao behind him.

This was enough to prove that Luo Youdao was likely even stronger than Old Ghost.

Luo Youdao slowly withdrew the spike and wiped it with the tablecloth before reattaching the dragon head.

The dragon head returned to its original form, surprisingly becoming an unremarkable cane.

No one would have thought Luo Youdao’s dragon head cane contained hidden dangers.

”Mr. Ye, I apologize for the spectacle.” After killing Old Ghost, Luo Youdao remained calm, as if he had only killed a chicken or dog, not an intimate companion or a top-notch master.

Ye Guichen looked at Luo Youdao with new respect.

Some people, upon reaching a certain level of ruthlessness, are indeed invincible.

Running through with human lives inadequately described Luo Youdao.

”Mr. Luo truly hides his abilities deeply!” Ye Guichen cupped his hands, ”Haha, if you hadn’t acted, I wouldn’t have known Mr. Luo is a genuine top-notch master!”

Luo Youdao also laughed heartily and shifted the topic, ”Mr. Ye, how can the Yin Yang Talisman on me be dissolved?”

”Simple.” Ye Guichen took out a Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill and tossed it to Luo Youdao, ”Swallow this pill and slowly expel the toxicity in your body. With your abilities, I believe you know what to do next.”

Though the Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill is a lifesaver for Corpse Chasers, it also cures Yin Yang Talismans and other toxins related to dark energies. Few knew about its efficacy.

Originally, Ye Guichen planned to negotiate with Luo Youdao, expecting some struggle over the rightful 51% shares. But stumbling upon Luo Youdao being poisoned with a Yin Yang Talisman turned out to be a bloodless opportunity.

Ye Guichen believed that with his discernment of Luo Youdao’s condition, the old man would know how to choose wisely.

”Mr. Ye, you have saved my life. From now on, our Luo Family will look to you.” Luo Youdao didn’t doubt at all, taking the Dragon and Phoenix Revitalizing Pill and swallowing it. A quick breath later, he respectfully bowed to Ye Guichen.

”Good!” Ye Guichen didn’t decline the bow, glanced at the old ghost, ”Since he knew how to use the Yin Yang Talisman, Mr. Luo didn’t bother asking why before killing him. Is there something you need to share with me?”

”Haha, nothing escapes Mr. Ye.” Luo Youdao was exceptionally polite, ”To my knowledge, the most proficient user of Yin Yang Talismans is King Yan of Yama Hall. Furthermore, I’ve heard the current King Yan has a paranoid nature and rarely reveals his face even before his followers. Moreover, before becoming King Yan, he secretly trained nine Shadow Yamas. Including himself, they are known as the Ten Palace Yamas. These individuals are fiercely loyal, capable of saving his life at crucial times.”

”But these Shadow Yamas are just projections of King Yan. They carry out orders on his behalf and can die for him if necessary.”

”Because of the existence of these Shadow Yamas, no one knows where the true King Yan is or what he looks like.”

Hearing this, Ye Guichen slightly squinted at Luo Youdao, ”Mr. Luo seems quite knowledgeable about this?”

”Hehe, Mr. Ye, you jest. I cherish life enormously. Following my father as a wanderer, I learned many strange things. Although Old Ghost never spoke of his lost decade, it never stopped me from harboring suspicions.” Luo Youdao glanced at the deceased, ”I have suspected him for a long time but lacked proof. However, a few nights ago, I vaguely overheard him calling to issue an Ultimate Kill Order, targeting someone named Ye Guichen.”

Smiling meaningfully, Luo Youdao continued, ”Mr. Ye, you prompted the Ultimate Kill Order from King Yan, yet you are standing here. If I still wouldn’t know how to choose, I’d truly be senile.”

Ye Guichen realized.

This Old Ghost was a Shadow Yama lying in wait by Luo Youdao’s side.

Moreover, the kill order targeting him was issued by Old Ghost himself.

Ye Guichen sighed, marveling at how much Luo Youdao knew. In his puzzlement, he saw Luo Youdao suddenly kneel on one knee, looking at him with sincere reverence: ”Cold-blooded Fox Venerate Luo Youdao, at your service, Grand Master!”
