My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ye Guichen was unaware of everything happening outside Falling Immortal Valley.

As they entered the valley, they immediately became highly focused, even Ye Guichen was cautious and alert.

Although An Long exaggerated about this place, Ye Guichen clearly felt it was like another world, not only was the spiritual energy much more abundant than outside, but also the dangers were much greater.

Ordinary martial arts grandmasters might not even survive here.

Fortunately, they were well prepared, Ye Guichen was unconcerned as the poison barriers had no effect on him.

However, Yang Hongfu and An Long were fully armed, almost completely covering their faces with damp cloths fashioned into makeshift gas masks.

But Ye Guichen didn’t worry they would truly be poisoned, even if they were, he could easily detoxify them.

Inside Falling Immortal Valley, it was so dark that one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face. Yang Hongfu let a woman’s soul guide the way ahead, Ye Guichen walked in the middle, An Long hesitantly followed behind, not daring to take his eyes off Ye Guichen for a second, afraid his life depended on staying close.

Luckily, at first there seemed to be nothing unexpected.

But after only half an hour, a chaotic noise suddenly arose from ahead, as if wild beasts were fighting, the screams and roars mixed together, sounding extremely exciting.

”What’s happening up ahead?”

Yang Hongfu asked in a lowered voice.

Ye Guichen didn’t know either and responded softly, ”I’ll go check it out.”

”Mr. Ye, I’ll go with you.” Upon hearing Ye Guichen intended to go alone, An Long was frightened, clutching Ye Guichen’s clothes like a lost child.

Yang Hongfu sighed, ”Let’s all go take a look together.”

Ye Guichen had no objection, nodding, ”Alright, but be careful, listen to the commotion, something seems to be happening up ahead.”

With that, Ye Guichen took a step forward, leading the way, ”Stay close to me and don’t get lost.”

Though the fog was thick, they could still vaguely see each other’s silhouettes.

Yang Hongfu felt deeply grateful seeing Ye Guichen take the lead.

This Ye Guichen was skilled and straightforward in his actions.

Such places could cost lives at any moment, Ye Guichen walking ahead was his way of saying to Yang Hongfu, ”I’ve got you covered.”

Yang Hongfu already had a good impression of Ye Guichen, and now his favorable impression grew even more.

Ye Guichen wasn’t aware of Yang Hongfu’s thoughts and didn’t walk very fast, but soon he vaguely saw a group of wild beasts fighting ahead.

The fog in front had loosened somewhat, allowing visibility up to a hundred meters.

There were a dozen giant wild beasts in great panic, and several beasts lay dead on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

The beasts were not peculiar breeds, mainly wild boars and wolves, but larger than those outside.

Even one wolf was a size bigger than the Wolf King Xuanyuan Wudi rode, pure white with an impressively fierce aura.

”Squeal!”

A wild boar, the size of a calf, let out a roar and snapped its jaws towards a nearby spot, as if threatening the very air.

What astonished Ye Guichen was that these beasts weren’t fighting each other, but seemed to be battling something collectively.

Meanwhile, on the other side, several people were lurking in a dim spot, observing the beasts.

”Turns out there’s indeed a Ghost Bird’s nest here, with ten eggs! If we kill the male and female Ghost Birds and take the eggs to hatch them, our chance to control the Ghost Birds would increase several times.”

A sleazy-looking man squinted at the beasts, his expression charged with excitement.

Beside him, a middle-aged woman with fiery red hair was also watching the beasts, licking her lips with greed in her gaze, ”Hehe, the Ghost Bird eggs are very nourishing, if we could take them back to make an omelet for Master, he’d surely be pleased.”

”Fei Hong, at this crucial moment when Master is researching the Longevity Pill, there are still over three hundred souls needed to refine it. Once refined, the Longevity Pill is far superior to any supplement!”

”That’s different, Master loves egg fried rice most, this is my token of sincerity.”

”Humph, your sincerity? It’s said that Wei Donglin who stole a cultivator’s corpse from the Su Family is dead, but Master still covets that corpse. This time he specifically sent his Impermanence Guardian, and they should return soon. When the Master ingests the Longevity Pill and combines with the cultivator’s corpse, he’ll become a true Immortal, will he even notice you anymore?”

The woman named Fei Hong listened, her eyes suddenly reddened, ”Black Demon, what do you mean? I just want to please Master with fried rice, why say so much? Plus, I’m free to like Master. He’s the Son of the Nether Emperor, destined to become Nether Emperor, countless people admire him, I’m just one among many, is there a problem? Besides, he considers me only as a sister, has no romantic interest at all, is it wrong to care for him?”

Black Demon’s face was lined with displeasure, reluctantly nodding, ”Fine, fine, but don’t forget your duty, you were sent by King Qin to keep an eye on Master. Although we call him Master, our real master is King Qin. If we succeed this time, even if he becomes the new Nether Emperor, King Qin will still be supreme, you should understand this.”

”Nonsense, Black Demon, how could I not understand? King Qin intends to leverage Master to control the other Six Kings, aiming to unify the secret sect, yet he doesn’t realize if Master truly becomes an Immortal, how could he be a match for Master?” Fei Hong looked mockingly at Black Demon, ”As things stand now, we can only be loyal to Master, his ambitions far surpass King Qin’s.”

Black Demon remained silent and said no more.

Fei Hong was absolutely correct.

Though they were sent by King Qin to monitor the Eternal Life Hall, if its Master truly refines the Longevity Pill and merges with a female cultivator’s corpse, possessing a cultivator’s lineage, King Qin wouldn’t be a match for him.

For a time, Black Demon was also torn.

Suddenly, a sharp cry rang out.

Black Demon looked up sharply, his pupils constricting: ”Is that the male Ghost Bird? My god, how can it be this enormous?”
