My Silly, Sweet Wife

Hua Xiangrong looked at Feng Yuanshan, seeing his submissive posture, she straightened her own back a bit, as if Feng Yuanshan was paying her the same respect.

Before this, Hua Xiangrong followed Ye Guichen mainly because she felt Ye Guichen was powerful enough, and he had elixirs to mitigate the side effects of her practicing demonic arts.

She never really had the concept of being revered by others.

But now, the situation was completely different.

Feng Yuanshan was one of the Yan King’s men.

Not only the Yan King, but other Seven Kings’ men might be polite on the surface yet never truly regarded her highly.

However, Feng Yuanshan’s flattery now made Hua Xiangrong feel she was undergoing a subtle transformation because of Ye Guichen.

If Ye Guichen could one day truly become the Netherworld Emperor, could she make the Seven Kings kneel before her?

Or, could she turn from being seen as a villain to being considered righteous?

Amidst her wild thoughts, Ye Guichen’s voice rang out, ”I didn’t come here to hear your flattery today, speak inside.”

Saying that, Ye Guichen walked into the room first.

Feng Yuanshan quickly got up and followed obediently.

Meanwhile.

A petite figure hurriedly arrived at the Ghost Market from outside.

However, because the Ghost Market had just been sealed, before truly entering the Ghost Market, she was apprehended.

”Who are you, what are you doing at the Ghost Market?”

The person who apprehended her scrutinized her and asked sternly.

If Ye Guichen were here, he would surely recognize her.

The person was Jin Ling, one of Chu Tiannan’s Thirteen Grand Protectors.

Ye Guichen had long informed Chu Tiannan about his arrival at the Ghost Market.

The news of Ye Guichen’s defeat over the head of Iaido in Japan, Jitian, quickly spread.

In no time, Ye Guichen was hailed as the number one in the Hua Country Martial Arts World.

However, due to Jitian’s special identity, his death caused a massive stir in Japan, and it shocked the entire world.

Someone from the Hua Country Martial Arts World actually killed Jitian.

Because of this matter, there’s an undercurrent surging in the global Martial Arts World.

Not only Japan wants to avenge Jitian, secretly finding assassins to try and eliminate Ye Guichen.

Even some Western countries want to act against Ye Guichen.

Simply put, because Ye Guichen was too young, yet already so strong, and favored by Chu Tiannan.

Once Ye Guichen grows, Hua Country’s power will grow stronger with Ye Guichen’s strengthening, which is something many opposing forces to Hua Country are reluctant to see.

However, not long after killing Jitian, Ye Guichen vanished quietly.

This left many people in bewilderment.

Speculations arose accordingly.

Most felt Chu Tiannan hid Ye Guichen to protect him from assassination, letting Ye Guichen grow slowly.

Once Ye Guichen reappears, it might bring a trembling moment to the entire world.

This very speculation made many adversaries of Hua Country increasingly restless.

They absolutely won’t allow Ye Guichen to grow.

Since they couldn’t find Ye Guichen himself, they planned to force him out.

And so, a silent plot against Ye Guichen began.

Through some intentional investigations, they unexpectedly discovered Ye Guichen was an orphan, and the two people closest to him were none other.

One was Ye Guichen’s master, Li Fengxian, the Divine Doctor.

The other was Ye Guichen’s fiancée.

What delighted the schemers was that Ye Guichen’s fiancée, Chen Ziran, was just an ordinary person.

However, upon closer examination, they discovered the Chen Family was actually a branch of a hidden family.

Years ago, due to a mistake made by Chen Ziran’s great-grandfather, he was kicked out of the Chen Family.

Chen Ziran’s great-grandfather had to live a life under a hidden identity, hoping his descendants could live peacefully for a lifetime.

But fate did not favor them.

The moment they intersected with Ye Guichen, the Chen Family realized they could no longer live ordinary lives.

Because the Chen Family had always been under Chu Tiannan’s watchful protection, the schemers couldn’t act directly against the Chen Family.

However, hidden families are not within Chu Tiannan’s protection range.

Especially worldly hidden families, which exist independently of the regiment.

Thus, the schemers quickly thought up a plan to control the hidden family behind the Chen Family, thereby pressuring the Chen Family, to force Ye Guichen out.

Though Chu Tiannan and Ye Guichen’s men always watched over the Chen Family’s safety, Ye Guichen even had people constantly protecting them.

Yet no matter how much they planned, they failed to anticipate that Chen Ziran would get involved because of the Chen Family’s lineage.

Just a few days ago, the hidden Chen Family suddenly decided to summon the drifting descendants of the Chen Family, declaring a major matter needed discussion.

To tell the truth, not many Chen Family members knew their ancestors were part of a hidden family, and those who did were only Chen Ziran’s grandmother.

However, Chen Ziran’s grandmother had always dreamed of returning to the hidden Chen Family one day, to have her lineage recognized by it.

Upon receiving the summon command from the hidden Chen Family, Chen Ziran’s grandmother didn’t think much; she quickly organized an internal meeting and shared their ancestral origins.

Then, she wanted to send someone to the hidden Chen Family to express their wish to return.

As the hidden Chen Family only meets the current leaders of the external Chen Family branch, and since Chen Ziran is the current president of the Chen Group, it naturally made sense she should go.

And so, Chen Ziran was deceived into the hidden Chen Family.

This wasn’t all; sensing that just Chen Ziran might not suffice to lure Ye Guichen out, they specifically went to capture Li Fengxian too.

Upon learning this news, Chu Tiannan intended to personally negotiate to have them released.

But the result could be imagined.

Facing those hidden families, even Chu Tiannan’s influence was limited.

Thinking it over, Chu Tiannan felt it necessary to inform Ye Guichen, otherwise if anything happened to Chen Ziran or Li Fengxian, he would have no way to explain to Ye Guichen.

Hence, Chu Tiannan dispatched Jin Ling to the Ghost Market to find Ye Guichen.

As a result, Jin Ling was apprehended upon arriving at the Ghost Market.

Jin Ling was fairly familiar with the Ghost Market but was surprised by its strict control.

Observing the two fully armed individuals whose skills were on par with hers, Jin Ling’s eyes flickered.

”I, I’m here to find someone,” Jin Ling said in a low voice.

”Find someone? Hmph, who are you looking for?” The opponent seemed uninterested in wasting words with Jin Ling, ”Currently the Ghost Market is strictly sealed off; only entry is allowed, not departure, and there’s no one here for you. If you don’t want trouble, find a place to stay, and don’t move around. Otherwise, you can’t blame me if you get accidentally killed!”

Jin Ling was quite shocked.

When had the Ghost Market become so strict?
