My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Kill!”

Ye Guichen did not waste any words.

To him, there was no need for further talk.

Everything that needed to be said had been said long ago.

Ye Guichen raised his hand, his eyes radiating a coldness from the depths of hell.

Ning Anbang was utterly desperate.

He knew that saying anything more now would be futile.

Winner becomes a king, loser becomes a villain.

Especially since Ning Xiu Cheng had been crippled, what else could the Ning Family rely on?

”Daddy, daddy.”

At that moment, a foolish voice sounded.

A plump man in his thirties staggered out from the room at the back.

The man’s appearance was casual, but the expression on his face could not hide his stupidity.

Ning Chengwen.

Ning Anbang’s foolish son and Ning Chengyuan’s older brother.

He seemed completely unaware of the strangeness around him, nor did he sense any danger. He hopped in front of Ning Anbang, glanced at the still-bleeding, lifeless-eyed Ning Xiu Cheng, pointed at him, and asked, ”Daddy, who’s this old man? Does he have ketchup on his lips? I want to eat, I want to eat!”

As he spoke, he reached out his chubby hand to touch.

”Chengwen...” Seeing his foolish son, Ning Anbang could no longer hold back his tears, finally breaking down in sorrow. He grabbed Ning Chengwen, knelt down in front of Ye Guichen, and pleaded, ”Mr. Ye, today’s battle has left the Ning Family in utter defeat! My father’s cultivation is ruined, and if you want to kill me, I won’t blame you! But Chengyuan is dead, and I have no other offspring besides Chengwen. I beg you, as a magnanimous person, even if you kill me, spare Chengwen’s life. Let him be a beggar, living on alms, just don’t kill him, I beg you!”

After speaking, he pressed Ning Chengwen’s head to the ground.

At this moment, Ning Anbang had become a loving father.

Ning Xiu Cheng let out a bitter laugh, struggling to get up from the ground.

Ye Guichen had not held back, so Ning Xiu Cheng knew his dantian was shattered and his cultivation was reduced to nothing.

His eyes were somewhat hollow, the blow was definitely no less than that to Li Zhuifeng, perhaps even greater.

But having lived for many years and seen too much right and wrong, Ning Xiu Cheng had no fighting spirit left in the face of a great enemy.

He looked deeply at Ning Chengwen, his eyes filled with rare doting.

Although Ning Chengwen was foolish and dim-witted, he was still Ning Xiu Cheng’s grandson.

Ning Xiu Cheng suddenly felt this world was somewhat mocking.

Once full of spirit and pride.

Now fallen to such a state.

”Mr. Ye, I was blind and did not recognize you as a man from a hidden family. I only beg you to spare my son and grandson’s lives. I, Ning Xiu Cheng, leave my fate in your hands.” Ning Xiu Cheng was once a man of absolute talents, knowing this world was not as simple as it seemed.

Especially upon reaching the pinnacle of excellence, about to enter the Innate Realm, Ning Xiu Cheng traveled the world seeking ways to break through.

Thus, he had seen many people and knew some hidden families existed in this world.

Among those families were masters who, like Ye Guichen, entered the Innate Realm at a young age.

So his first thought was that Ye Guichen belonged to a hidden family.

Such people were not ones they could provoke.

But now, he had no choice but to hope Ye Guichen would spare Ning Anbang and Ning Chengwen’s lives.

”Dad, dad, what are we playing?” Ning Chengwen, not understanding, knelt a couple of times before clapping and cheering.

Ye Guichen furrowed his brow, somewhat surprised at Ning Xiu Cheng’s words: ”Hidden family?”

”What, Mr. Ye doesn’t know?” Ning Xiu Cheng was taken aback, looking at Ye Guichen with confusion.

Ye Guichen ignored Ning Xiu Cheng’s question, instead seeming to grasp some sort of clue.

His master Li Fengxian had once mentioned that many hidden families existed in this world, and their methods were beyond ordinary comprehension.

However, they remained concealed, rarely appearing before ordinary people, making contact only upon reaching a certain cultivation realm.

Despite using the full power of the Heavenly God Temple over the years, Ye Guichen had found nothing about his origins, apart from the clue of the Seven-colored Lotus Jade.

Could it be that he truly came from a hidden family?

A thought began to grow in Ye Guichen’s mind.

Ning Xiu Cheng seemed to have encountered someone from a hidden family.

”Have you met someone from a hidden family?” Ye Guichen pursued the question, feeling slightly excited.

Ning Xiu Cheng saw Ye Guichen didn’t appear to be lying and hastily replied, ”Yes, I once met someone while preparing to break through the pinnacle of excellence in the third year. That person was about your age, Mr. Ye, and had entered the Innate Realm. But it was just a brief encounter, and I never saw him again.”

”At that moment, witnessing his unparalleled elegance, I realized that beyond the Innate Realm was not the end but merely the beginning. I returned to the Ning Family, secluded myself, hoping to advance further.” As he spoke, Ning Xiu Cheng looked at Ye Guichen with some wariness, ”Seeing you today, Mr. Ye, your distinguished demeanor is akin to those from the hidden families.”

Ye Guichen nodded silently, suddenly feeling a sadness for the Ning Family.

It wasn’t surprising that Ning Anbang was desperate for revenge.

Anyone losing a son would become frenzied in grief.

Yet Ning Anbang had made a colossal mistake by provoking him.

Looking at Ning Chengwen’s foolish appearance, Ye Guichen’s heart was strangely moved with compassion.

”Big brother, you’re so handsome, so kind, you’re the most charming person I’ve seen.” Ning Chengwen suddenly stared foolishly at Ye Guichen, making him slightly embarrassed.

Ning Chengwen was innocent.

If Ning Anbang were killed, Ning Chengwen would likely end up on the streets, unable to survive long.

But the Ning Family had repeatedly caused him trouble and seriously injured Bai Qinghe, an issue that couldn’t be just forgotten.

”Ning Xiu Cheng, Ning Anbang, though I do not like provoking others, if anyone provokes me, I will not let it go unpunished!” Ye Guichen’s voice thundered with an inexplicable authority, ”Ning Chengyuan is dead because he brought this upon himself! Today, I intended to take the lives of your Ning Family, yet this child is innocent...”

Ye Guichen casually pointed at Ning Chengwen, who gazed at him with clear eyes as if receiving his admonition, full of reverence.

”Well, I won’t kill you today, but you won’t escape punishment!” Ye Guichen waved his hand, unwilling to meet Ning Chengwen’s gaze.

Those eyes were too pure, like a child’s.

Though Ning Chengwen was over thirty, his mind was that of a two or three-year-old.

With Ning Anbang’s protection, Ning Chengwen could still live peacefully.

Moreover, for some reason, seeing Ning Chengwen dissipated Ye Guichen’s layers of hatred.

Ning Anbang and Ning Xiu Cheng were stunned by Ye Guichen’s words.

They didn’t understand why Ye Guichen suddenly decided to let them go, but surviving such a disaster brought overwhelming joy.

”Mr. Ye, whatever you request, we will comply without hesitation!” Ning Anbang and Ning Xiu Cheng both kowtowed, trembling all over, relieved they were spared.

”Immortal brother, haha, immortal brother!” Ning Chengwen cheered, standing up to circle around Ye Guichen, chanting ”immortal brother” excitedly, ”You must be the immortal brother, even grandpa and dad are bowing to you, you’re definitely the immortal brother.”

In his mind, anyone being kowtowed to was unquestionably an immortal.

Besides, Ye Guichen’s appearance was almost godly now.
