My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Mr. Ye, not only has King Qi dispatched experts to Ghost City, but he’s also issued a bounty order. If anyone can capture you and bring you back, they will be rewarded with an Innate Pill and might even be promoted to higher ranks. If things continue like this, the Seven Kings might all follow suit. Although you are relatively safe on this Lake Island for now, it won’t be long before those experts and the Seven Kings’ men take action.”

”The situation has become very complicated now. In just a single day, the number of experts in Ghost City has doubled, and there are many more cultivators. Unless you keep hiding on Lake Island and never go out, you’ll likely be in danger once you step outside.”

Ye Guichen nodded upon hearing this.

He had long since anticipated that revealing his identity would lead to this situation.

However, Ye Guichen wasn’t worried.

As long as he kept Hua Xiangrong in check, he was absolutely safe for the time being.

”By the way, what happened to King Qin’s spies?” Ye Guichen raised his head and asked another question.

Gui Tuo immediately replied, ”Just five minutes ago, I scared away King Qin’s dispatched experts.”

Then, Gui Tuo briefly explained the situation.

Ye Guichen waved his hand, ”Good, Gui Tuo, continue monitoring the entire Ghost City, and inform me of any developments at any time. Haha, if Fang Tiancheng wants to take my Spirit Stones, I’ll make him pay for it.”

He was sure King Qin would definitely sacrifice a Fang Tiancheng to seek him out soon.

Then there would be an opportunity for negotiation.

However, Ye Guichen was still undecided on his next move.

Gui Tuo nodded and his figure vanished once more, as if he had never been there.

Mo Changsheng stood still in the corner.

Ye Guichen looked up, ”Senior Mo, they’re all gone, you don’t need to pretend anymore.”

Mo Changsheng sat down heavily on the ground, ”Yo-you can control ghost creatures? And you have a supreme alchemy talent, are you truly just the Son of Nether Emperor?”

If Ye Guichen said he was truly an Immortal now, Mo Changsheng might immediately kneel and bow to recognize him.

Ye Guichen chuckled lightly, ”Senior Mo, as you say, I myself am not sure if I’m the Son of Nether Emperor. But I’m just a living person, and that ghost creature earlier was merely my friend.”

”Haha, friend.” Mo Changsheng laughed dumbly.

Friends with ghosts.

He’d never heard of such a thing before.

At this time, someone hurriedly entered.

It was Lin Che.

Lin Che now dared not look Ye Guichen in the eye.

One reason was fear of being beaten, the other was Ye Guichen too uncanny, even subduing Hua Xiangrong.

Though Hua Xiangrong gnawed her teeth in hatred, she had no choice but to obey Ye Guichen.

Thus, Lin Che dared not disobey Ye Guichen in the slightest.

”What’s the matter?” Ye Guichen looked at Lin Che, who had his head down, and asked.

Lin Che quickly replied, ”There’s a person named Luo Shentong seeking you, asking Lord Demon King for someone.”

”Oh, have Hua Xiangrong find a place to host Luo Shentong, once things here are settled, I’ll meet with him,” Ye Guichen said casually.

Lin Che dared not say more, responded, and turned to leave.

With such danger outside, were anyone to learn Luo Shentong was his associate, they’d surely scheme.

Settling Luo Shentong on Lake Island could provide some peace of mind.

”Senior Mo, continue telling me about Alchemy Dao!” After sending Lin Che off, Ye Guichen turned to Mo Changsheng and smiled.

Mo Changsheng shivered, quickly adjusting his expression, ”Alright!”

Yet couldn’t help but inwardly grumble, ”This guy is simply a monster; if this continues for a few days, I’ll feel entirely drained.”

However, at the same time a different thought emerged.

Through a few days of interaction, Mo Changsheng realized Ye Guichen was far more terrifying than he imagined.

Not only in schemes but also in methods.

If he could become Ye Guichen’s half-master, then should Ye Guichen truly become the Nether Emperor, he might return to the Hidden Gate, and join the core of the Dan Sect.

It’s known that Penglai’s Dan Sect is a branch of the Hidden Gate’s Dan Sect, and everyone’s aspiration in Penglai Dan Sect is to return someday to the Hidden Gate and become a disciple of the main Dan Sect.

That would not only affirm their Alchemy Dao, but also symbolize their status.

Within the Hidden Gate, even an ordinary disciple of the Dan Sect can easily surpass the Sect Master of Penglai Dan Sect.

Ghost City became bustling.

Hua Xiangrong looked troubled.

As a tycoon in Ghost City, she naturally knew many experts emerged in the city, some even she found notably tricky.

”Dammit, I never expected the identity of the Son of Nether Emperor to draw so many flies!”

In the pavilion atop Lake Island, Hua Xiangrong gazed grimly towards the lakeside.

There, shadows continuously moved, and with Hua Xiangrong’s keen vision, she could distinctly identify many experts.

After getting Lin Che’s report, Hua Xiangrong offered no trouble, directly arranging Luo Shentong into Lake Island.

”Gongyang Lang, what on earth is Ye Guichen that kid scheming?” After dismissing others, Hua Xiangrong kept Gongyang Lang alone.

Gongyang Lang gave no response, merely snorted coldly, full of pride.

Hua Xiangrong grasped Gongyang Lang’s hair, ”What, are you eager to eat Shattered Pill again?”

Gongyang Lang stiffened his neck, ”I won’t submit!”

Hua Xiangrong rubbed her forehead, ”Gongyang Lang, enough! I may have done wrong by you before, but now you’re clinging to the thigh of Ye Guichen, and I’m left with an unstable Dantian because of him. We’re even; we’re all in it together now, all controlled by that kid, Ye Guichen. What more do you want?”

”Hua Xiangrong, I’m not controlled by him, just cooperating, you’re the one under his control, don’t mix things up,” Gongyang Lang said earnestly.

Hua Xiangrong felt an urge to smack Gongyang Lang, but ultimately lowered her hand, ”Say what you will, but with the current situation, tell me what Ye Guichen is plotting? Ghost City seems calm, but all it needs is a spark. Should anyone come to demand people, that spark will ignite, then I can’t protect him!”

Gongyang Lang seemed to finally hold an advantage over Hua Xiangrong, a hint of pride flashing across his mouth, ”I never thought you, the ruthless Great Demon King, would also have worries? Haha, heaven truly has eyes!”

”Gongyang Lang!” Hua Xiangrong’s voice suddenly escalated, ”If not for you being superior to Lin Che and the rest, I’d toss you into the lake to feed the fish right now!”

Gongyang Lang didn’t believe, nor fear, merely sneered, ”Hua Xiangrong, I’ve known Ye Guichen for some time, initially completely disdainful of him. But now, witnessing him making you obedient, I willingly accept him as master. Let me tell you, I’m starting to feel that even if the Seven Kings teamed up, they might not be his match. Following him might not be bad after all.”
