My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Get rid of them? How? They have lived here for years and are very familiar with this place. Moreover, their numbers are vast, ranging from dozens to over a thousand. If we start fighting them, not only will we fail to get rid of them, but we’ll also attract more Desert Wolves. Then, we’ll still be dragged to death by them.”

Zhu Yan seemed a bit regretful: ”I told you not to come, but you wouldn’t listen. You insisted, and now we’re probably not even going to make it through this vast desert. Sigh, although I’m just a minor leader in the Golden Snake Gang, I haven’t enjoyed enough of the riches yet.”

”Shut up!” Gongsun Fengying glared at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan quickly shut his mouth in fear.

Messing with them wasn’t an option, but avoiding them was.

However, Ye Guichen perked up his ears, listening carefully, as if confirming the number of Desert Wolves.

”Brother Ye, what should we do?” Luo Huasheng moved closer to Ye Guichen, ready to fight.

”You all stay here and don’t move. I’ll go check it out. Remember, if they don’t attack, you absolutely must not make the first move, understand?” Ye Guichen instructed, then quickly walked towards the front.

”Be careful!” Gongsun Fengying shouted softly, with a worried look on his face: ”Hmph, truly a femme fatale. Our luck is terrible; we just got here, and this happened.”

Luo Huasheng muttered: ”Actually, you can’t blame others. Maybe Brother Ye can solve it.”

”I hope so.” Gongsun Fengying glanced at Wu Nuannuan, but secretly thought about how to get rid of this trouble.

As Ye Guichen walked forward about a mile, he already saw several Desert Wolves eyeing him eagerly.

These Desert Wolves were larger than ordinary wild wolves, and it was clear that these few were just following Ye Guichen and his group, with no intention of attacking.

Ye Guichen wasn’t afraid and walked straight ahead.

One relatively large Desert Wolf suddenly lifted its head, arched its back, and growled low at Ye Guichen, making a posture ready to attack, seemingly trying to intimidate.

The other four or five Desert Wolves quickly spread out, surrounding Ye Guichen in an instant, as if they would pounce if Ye Guichen dared to make a move.

Ye Guichen looked at the leading Desert Wolf.

It was as tall as one and a half meters, looking like a small calf, with fangs exuding a bloody smell, and eyes glowing in the dark, sending chills down one’s spine.

”I mean no harm, just want to cross this desert. You’d better not provoke me, and we can remain at peace. But if you insist on fighting, I don’t mind sending you on your way.” Ye Guichen spoke, regardless of whether the Desert Wolves could understand.

The Desert Wolves seemed puzzled by this person who showed no fear and even talked to them. They whimpered continuously, and their fur stood on end.

Ye Guichen bent down to pick up a stone.

The Desert Wolves immediately became alert, thinking Ye Guichen was about to attack.

Ye Guichen held the stone, lightly grasping it.

When he opened his hand again, the stone had turned entirely into powder.

”I said, if you don’t want to die, you’d better not target us.” Ye Guichen tossed the powder, glanced at the leading Desert Wolf, and turned to leave.

The Desert Wolves seemed to know Ye Guichen was not easy to deal with and allowed him to leave.

The night passed without danger.

But the next morning, Ye Guichen found that the Desert Wolves hadn’t left. Instead, their numbers had almost doubled, with more than a dozen surrounding them, watching from a distance.

”What should we do?” Zhu Yan swallowed, asking nervously.

Ye Guichen smiled faintly, unconcerned: ”Let’s go. Let them follow us; it can be a form of protection for us.”

”Huh?” Zhu Yan was slightly taken aback.

Having these Desert Wolves as bodyguards? What a joke!

But right now, there was no other option.

Besides, Zhu Yan initially wanted to find a chance to sneak away, but now, surrounded by Desert Wolves, he’d die even faster if he left Ye Guichen and the others.

He had no choice but to follow Ye Guichen’s lead and move on.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the vast desert, Shen Mu saw a group of people.

This group, more than a dozen, all wore coarse clothes, their faces rough, weathered by wind and sand, holding various weapons, standing scattered.

The leader held a Wolf Fang Club, surrounded by iron and spikes, with dried blood stains on it.

He was the leader, nicknamed Brown Bear, nearly two meters tall, looking extremely intimidating.

”Oh, isn’t this the Ten Sword Immortals and Li Liuliu, the world-famous pursuers? Haha, it’s been a while. You called us out for some benefits this time?” The slender man beside Brown Bear licked his lips, smiling insincerely.

The Ten Sword Immortals didn’t mind the attitude, chuckling as they pointed to Shen Mu and introduced, ”This is Young Master Shen from the Kyoto Shen Family. This time, he wants to make a big deal with you. If it works out, you can have all the gold and beauties you want.”

”Kyoto Shen Family?” The slender man looked at Shen Mu with interest, grinning, ”Kyoto is a place of wealth. It’s surprising to see Young Master Shen visiting our poor and remote area. But what benefits does Young Master Shen offer us?”

Shen Mu was courteous, cupping his hands toward the slender man: ”This brother, let’s not mince words. I’m here to hunt someone. The person killed someone from our Shen Family and fled to this vast desert, as the Ten Sword Immortals mentioned. As long as you help me eliminate this person, our Shen Family will reward you handsomely.”

Saying this, he took out a briefcase.

He opened it.

Inside was a pile of money, easily worth millions.

”This is just part of the payment. There will be a heavier reward after the job is done.” Shen Mu said with a smile.

For the Shen Family, problems solvable with money aren’t problems at all.

The slender man took the briefcase, glanced at it, and laughed boisterously: ”Great, we love dealing with wealthy folks like you. Although we’re just some country bumpkins, we are a force to be reckoned with in this vast desert. Just say the name, and we’ll deliver the head within three days, as long as this person isn’t under Mr. Guan’s protection.”

Many in this area seek Mr. Guan’s protection.

This group is just a minor force, barely associating with Hua Heshang, nowhere near Mr. Guan’s level, and naturally wouldn’t provoke someone under Mr. Guan’s protection.

”Haha, this brother is joking; they probably don’t even know Mr. Guan, so rest assured.” Shen Mu quickly handed a photo to the slender man.

The slender man glanced at it and handed it to the burly Brown Bear.

Brown Bear seemed guileless, not saying much, just giving Shen Mu a glance and stating, ”Ten sturdy women.”

”Ah?” Shen Mu was puzzled.

The slender man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: ”Our boss said, after the job, we want ten sturdy women, each weighing no less than two hundred pounds, understood?”

Shen Mu’s mouth twitched: ”Alright, alright, no problem.”

This preference is indeed quite unique.
