My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Mr. Ye, this is everything I found on Feng Hu and his companion. I haven’t touched anything, and I’ve brought it all to you.”

Upon finding Ye Guichen, Shang Wen Dong placed the bag on the table in front of Ye Guichen without so much as a glance, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

Ye Guichen was very pleased with Shang Wen Dong’s reaction.

This Shang Wen Dong was indeed more sensible than many others. He likely guessed that very few people knew about this place. Thus, without Ye Guichen’s permission, Shang Wen Dong would neither move around freely nor deliberately observe the area.

Ye Guichen did not ask how Shang Wen Dong dealt with Feng Hu and his companion. Instead, he opened the bag and poured out its contents onto the table. As he sifted through the items, he casually said, ”Initially, I thought we could leave after handling the matter with King Yan. However, my master insisted on opening a branch of Shennong Hall here. It seems we will be staying for a while longer. In that case, this place will serve as our temporary residence.”

”I will follow your arrangements, Mr. Ye,” Shang Wen Dong said respectfully.

Ye Guichen smiled faintly. Though he did not look directly, he observed all of Shang Wen Dong’s reactions.

Originally, because of Shang Wen Dong’s poor background and his role as a judge for Yama Hall, it was feared that he had killed many and committed numerous misdeeds.

But now, Shang Wen Dong’s demeanor seemed to have completely transformed, which greatly satisfied Ye Guichen.

Without further words, Ye Guichen quickly glanced over the items on the table.

They were very messy and mostly useless to Ye Guichen.

There was a latest model smartphone.

This phone was clearly what Feng Hu used to communicate with others.

However, it had already been turned off, and the SIM card was missing. Shang Wen Dong probably threw it away to avoid being tracked.

As for the other items, besides a small brown bottle, there were a few checks and some cash.

The checks were not many, but they totaled over ten million.

There was also an object resembling an identity token, with a traditional character for ”Qin” written on it.

If guessed correctly, this item should symbolize the identity of someone under King Qin.

After inspecting the token to ensure there were no tracking devices, Ye Guichen kept it and pushed the rest of the items towards Shang Wen Dong, ”Take these. The pills in the bottle are beneficial for your cultivation; take one every seven days.”

”Mr. Ye, is this appropriate?”

Although Ye Guichen did not specify what the pills were, given that Feng Hu carried them, they were certainly no ordinary pills.

Ye Guichen gave them all to him without keeping any for himself, which made Shang Wen Dong both grateful and humble.

Ye Guichen explained, ”These pills are of no use to me. But they should be very helpful to you. If I’m not mistaken, Feng Hu used them, besides for himself, to win over those who haven’t yet reached the Innate Realm. As for their effect, you’ll understand once you take them. Remember, do not take them too frequently. One pill every seven days is sufficient. After finishing this bottle, you should be able to reach the threshold of the Innate Realm.”

”What?” Shang Wen Dong thought he misheard.

So easily reaching the threshold of the Innate Realm, were these pills that potent?

”Enough. Go to the next room and recover from your injuries. From now on, you will stay here.” Ye Guichen pointed to an adjacent bedroom.

Since Ye Guichen had made up his mind, Shang Wen Dong didn’t hesitate. He took the pills, checks, and other items and quickly went to the next room.

As for Feng Hu’s two throwing knives, they had already been destroyed along with Feng Hu’s body.

Watching Shang Wen Dong leave, Ye Guichen nodded slightly, murmuring to himself, ”Consider this your good fortune.”

Ye Guichen was well aware of the value of those pills.

These pills were called Innate Pills. While they might not induce the Innate Realm after one dose, they were immensely beneficial for stabilizing realms below Innate.

Outside, a single pill might cost at least a million, and even then, it would be rare to find.

With thirteen pills in total, they were not many but highly beneficial for cultivation.

Especially given that Shang Wen Dong had fought Yu Nong and killed Feng Hu and Yu Nong, he had undergone a drastic mental transformation. Taking these Innate Pills might not push him into the Innate Realm, but it would elevate him to the peak of first-rate experts, almost stepping into the Innate Realm.

Having sent Shang Wen Dong away, Ye Guichen played with the token with the character ”Qin,” unable to discern anything. Then he went to the basement and hid the token behind a mural in a safe.

Though not currently dealing with King Qin, Ye Guichen believed this token might be useful in the future.

Regarding the gold bar embedded in the stone wall, Ye Guichen took it down before leaving.

On inspection, the gold bar was bent nearly ninety degrees, proving the judge’s pen’s remarkable quality.

Ye Guichen put the gold bar in his pocket and took out a talisman book, beginning his study.

He first found the formula for a poison called ”Thousand Spider Poison Powder.”

The book indeed contained the antidote formula, but the ingredients were too difficult to find, including the egg of a Ghost Bird.

At this moment, where could he find such an egg?

Fortunately, the bottle was sealed with a talisman, so the Ghost Bird wouldn’t die for the time being.

Sighing at the lack of antidote, Ye Guichen placed the bottle with the Ghost Bird in the safe.

Finally, he turned his attention to the remaining talismans.

Ye Guichen had initially only given them a cursory glance. Now, delving deeper, he realized talismans and spells were entirely different concepts.

It was unclear how King Yan obtained this book. It not only recorded talismans and spells for controlling corpses but also various wicked techniques. Most astonishingly, it included miraculous medical talisman techniques.

These medical talismans were evidently closely linked to the healing skills Master Mai mentioned.

Instantly, Ye Guichen was immersed in a whole new world, utterly absorbed.

It was unclear how much time passed when the phone ringing woke Ye Guichen up.

Checking the time, he saw it was already past 7 PM.

This activity had lasted five to six hours.

The call was from Mai Gu.

Retrieving his thoughts from the talismans, Ye Guichen answered, ”Master Mai, are the procedures for Tianhe Martial Arts Hall complete?”

”Sect Leader, the procedures were completed long ago. I even treated Fang Yu to a meal. But now there’s another troublesome matter—they are simply too overbearing!” Mai Gu’s voice was indignant and furious, ”Where are you? I’m at Tianhe Martial Arts Hall. Could you come over?”
