My Silly, Sweet Wife

The leader’s cultivation level was not weak, having reached the Half-step Immortal Realm. He kicked open the door and rushed inside.

Luo Shentong dodged to the side, his mind full of questions.

”Liu Fang, are you guys okay?” The man immediately recognized Liu Fang and asked, seeing that Liu Fang and the others kept shaking their heads.

”What’s wrong?” Seeing their reaction, the man couldn’t help but feel a bit strange: ”I’m ordered to get you out of here. That kid is too arrogant, he even dares to give orders to us, the spies of King Qin! Hmph, he simply doesn’t know what’s good for him. Rest assured, that kid is now trapped on the lake island and won’t be able to get out anytime soon. Also, even Gongyang Lang should have been subdued by the Great Demon King.”

The man spoke while helping Liu Fang up: ”King Qin is already aware of your situation. He wants you to go back first; you will certainly be rewarded later.”

”You, let go of me! We’re not leaving!” Unexpectedly, Liu Fang shook off the man’s hand, quickly stepped back two steps, and said with terror: ”We’re not leaving! Mr. Ye said King Qin must use Fang Tiancheng for exchange; if Fang Tiancheng doesn’t come, we won’t leave!”

”Huh?” The man immediately frowned: ”Liu Fang, what do you mean?”

”Huff!”

Instead of Liu Fang and the others, a chilling wind answered the man.

Bang!

The door seemed to be closed by something, making a heavy bumping sound.

Luo Shentong and the others were stunned, still unsure of what was happening, when they heard the sound of ghostly wailing from inside the room.

Then, it didn’t take long before the Half-step Immortal was thrown out.

His eyes were filled with terror, as if he had seen a ghost: ”Quick, quick, leave! No matter what, find a way to bring back Fang. We must report this to King Qin, by the way, tell Housekeeper Hu to go quickly!”

They fled in a panic before even starting a fight.

His subordinates still didn’t know what was going on, but seeing their leader run away, they hurried after him.

”Mr. Feng, what’s actually going on? What just happened?” Unable to contain his curiosity, someone quietly asked.

The Half-step Immortal, looking pale, glanced deeply at his subordinate: ”Inside, there’s a terrifying ghost, that Ye Guichen can control ghosts. We must inform King Qin of this; we must reconsider the Son of Netherworld Emperor!”

”What? A ghost? Even you can’t handle it?”

”Nonsense, that ghost is invisible and terrifying!” The Half-step Immortal named Feng said, trembling, as he ran swiftly toward the rendezvous point.

Inside Jixiang Restaurant.

Luo Shentong’s heart was pounding, but upon reopening the door, he still saw no one other than Liu Fang and the others.

The restaurant owner was white as a sheet from fright.

”What... what’s going on here?”

Luo Shentong couldn’t care about this anymore and quickly turned back, running towards the lake island.

Ye Guichen had been captured; no matter what, he needed to find a way to rescue him. Even if it was a failure, he had to give it a try.

However, Luo Shentong didn’t realize that Ye Guichen was currently enjoying his time.

Not only was he enjoying fine food and wine, but he was also lying down leisurely with beautiful women massaging his shoulders and legs, while he munched on seeds.

The conditions were slightly lacking, as he was still in the dungeon.

Mo Changsheng stood respectfully to the side, explaining the Alchemy Technique to Ye Guichen.

Suddenly, the air in the dungeon seemed much colder.

Mo Changsheng muttered: ”Strange, why is it so cold? Could there be a ghost?”

The women massaging Ye Guichen’s leg turned pale with fright, their eyes looking up at Ye Guichen in terror.

Ye Guichen grinned and looked at Mo Changsheng: ”Senior Mo, how did you know there’s a ghost?”

”What? I... there can’t really be a ghost, can there?” Even though Mo Changsheng’s cultivation was strong and he was skilled in Alchemy Dao, he still held fear and reverence towards ghostly entities.

Ye Guichen nodded seriously and said: ”Gui Tuo, come out and meet Senior Mo.”

A dark shadow appeared beside Ye Guichen.

Mo Changsheng and the women were so frightened that they scrambled to the wall.

Especially Mo Changsheng, whose eyes were fixed on Gui Tuo, his heart was in turmoil.

Judging by the looks of it, this ghost seemed connected to Ye Guichen.

And Ye Guichen, could he control this ghost?

No way!

This guy couldn’t be a Ghost Cultivator!

No, absolutely impossible!

As far as I know, even Ghost Cultivators can control ghosts, but they’re all mindless ghosts, impossible to have consciousness.

Being able to control sentient ghosts is definitely a legendary skill.

Ye Guichen waved his hand, signaling the women to leave.

Mo Changsheng wanted to leave too, but after running for a while, he found himself chained up.

His legs went limp, so he quickly backed up to the wall, eyes shut and ears covered, muttering: ”I can’t see, I can’t hear anything, can’t see, can’t hear!”

Ye Guichen chuckled.

This Mo Changsheng truly was a treasure.

His method of self-deception had reached an incredible level.

However, Ye Guichen didn’t pay attention to Mo Changsheng anymore but looked at Gui Tuo: ”So, we’ve almost sorted it out, right?”

Gui Tuo nodded lightly: ”Pretty much.”

Actually, since arriving at the Ghost Market, Ye Guichen had released Gui Tuo as a hidden piece.

In Ye Guichen’s view, Gui Tuo was an anomaly.

Even though regular ghosts could survive, their consciousness wouldn’t be like normal people, but they could have their own consciousness.

Most ghosts in the mundane world were just mindless.

But Gui Tuo not only had consciousness but was also quite powerful.

Even with Hua Xiangrong and Gongyang Lang, Gui Tuo’s elusive techniques were hard to detect.

Thus, when arriving at the Ghost Market, Ye Guichen thought of Gui Tuo’s greatest value.

Gui Tuo didn’t disappoint Ye Guichen’s expectations.

After several days of investigation, Gui Tuo had almost fully grasped the situation regarding the Seven Kings.

This time, Gui Tuo came to relay the current situation of the Ghost Market and his understanding of the Seven Kings to Ye Guichen.

”Mr. Ye, after these two days of developments, the Seven Kings basically know about you, and they’ve already sent experts to the Ghost Market.”

”Moreover, many experts have emerged within the Ghost Market, all roaming around the lake island, seemingly coveting you.”

Gui Tuo explained the situation in the Ghost Market to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen listened, nodding as he pondered his next move.

However, one piece of news took Ye Guichen by surprise.

According to Gui Tuo’s investigation over these days, one of the Seven Kings, Yan King, seemed to have been coerced into going against the Nether Emperor, and he didn’t actually attack, simply staying put.

Currently, among the Seven Kings, King Qin had the greatest power, but Yan King was the weakest, seemingly ready to be swallowed up by the rest.

Furthermore, before Ye Guichen as the Son of Nether Emperor revealed his identity, a few of the Seven Kings were already contacting each other secretly, preparing to oppose King Qin.

But Ye Guichen’s appearance seemed to have completely disrupted their plans.
