My Silly, Sweet Wife

”Ye Sheng, what are you doing?”

Seeing the corpses on the ground, Lu San and Lu Si were scared out of their wits.

Even though they didn’t witness Ye Guichen killing, there was no doubt since only Ye Guichen was standing there.

In this situation, they had no time to ponder how Ye Guichen could kill so quickly; instead, they felt they were in big trouble.

Having killed people from the Wolf Head Gang, if the gang found out, they probably couldn’t return to the Dan God Sect.

”Let’s go!”

Lu San and Lu Si were so anxious that they were stomping their feet, not caring to say anything else.

But the commotion had already attracted more people.

Before they could leave, another group surrounded them.

This time, the leader had a green wolf head, his cultivation reached the third layer of Qi Refinement.

”Were you the ones who killed?” He looked at the corpses on the ground and asked Ye Guichen and the others with a deep voice.

Ye Guichen stepped out, ”I killed them, it has nothing to do with them. Let them go, I’ll go back with you.”

Lu San and Lu Si thought Ye Guichen had gone crazy.

This was looking for trouble without reason.

Killing Ling Yun was one thing, but killing people from the Wolf Head Gang?

His brain must’ve been kicked by a donkey.

”Yes, yes, we didn’t do anything, he killed them all!”

And now, Lu San and Lu Si didn’t even want to be associated with Ye Guichen anymore.

Back at the Penglai Pill Sect, they thought Ye Guichen was sensible, especially with his alchemy talent; he should have just focused on alchemy.

Also, he had given Ren Wobai such a big benefit, clearly a smart person.

Yet, a smart person did something so foolish.

This was, after all, the territory of the Wolf Head Gang; they just wanted to pass through peacefully, not looking for trouble.

The man with the green wolf head tattoo sneered, ”You think you can escape after killing my people? Haha, I don’t care who did it, none of you are getting away today!”

With that, he waved his hand.

A group surrounded Ye Guichen and the others.

Lu San and Lu Si’s faces changed.

At this moment, Ye Guichen spoke, ”It’s true they didn’t do it, I have some pills here, let them go, and I’ll go back with you. Moreover, your companions were already dead before I arrived, I had no choice but to kill Ling Yun. Now that Ling Yun is dead, your threat to Yong’an City is useless, if the city knows Ling Yun is dead, they will surely counterattack frantically. But I have a way to ensure your safety. Of course, if you don’t trust me, go ahead, just don’t blame me when your leader punishes you for this oversight!”

Ye Guichen said, handing a porcelain bottle to the leader.

The man hesitated, opening the bottle to sniff, seeing the pills inside were of high grade, he pondered a bit, feeling Ye Guichen had a point.

Lu San and Lu Si were a bit stunned.

The members of the Wolf Head Gang were killed by someone else first?

That sounded so unreliable!

But now no one cared if the gang members died first or later.

”Fine, I’ll trust you this once, but if you trick me, you’ll die a horrific death!” The man with the green wolf head tattoo waved his hand, signaling for Lu San and Lu Si to be released.

The two didn’t hesitate for a moment, giving Ye Guichen a quick look before swiftly leaving.

Two members of the Wolf Head Gang held Ye Guichen, binding his hands with cow tendons, and escorted him back.

The corpses on the ground were also taken back.

This dense forest was known as the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest.

It was filled with many mass graves.

Called mass graves, they were actually places where murdered people were discarded, left to be consumed by beasts and to rot.

Over time, this place often had thick fog, especially at night, ghost fires appeared, and some could even hear ghostly cries.

There were even rumors that specters here killed people.

If one was unfamiliar with the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest, it was easy to get lost and never find their way out.

This was why the Wolf Head Gang settled here, making it difficult for Yong’an City to hassle them.

The forest was dense, blocking the moonlight.

Ye Guichen didn’t resist, letting them bind him, taking twists and turns to a hidden cave.

Surrounded by thick trees, the cave was invisible even a hundred meters away.

However, many patrolled the area.

Once at the cave, Ye Guichen was locked in a cage.

The cage was placed alone on one side of the cave, for now, no one cared about Ye Guichen.

Those who caught him left quickly, presumably reporting the night’s events.

Ye Guichen glanced around, finding at least a hundred people nearby, many Qi Refiners among them.

”Gui Tuo?” Ye Guichen called softly.

A ghostly voice echoed beside him, ”What’s your plan? Why act abruptly, why not proceed systematically in the Dan God Sect?”

Clearly, Gui Tuo was full of questions.

Ye Guichen replied, ”When I entered this forest, I felt the Yin energy was heavy, I stayed to see if you felt familiar with it.”

Gui Tuo fell silent, clearly not expecting Ye Guichen stayed for him.

After a pause, Gui Tuo rasped, ”It’s somewhat familiar, I investigated a bit, this forest is called the Ten Thousand Ghosts Forest, the name is not without reason, specters indeed haunt it. And they’re like me, with a complete Spiritual Sense. However, I’m not daring to show myself, or they would surely notice.”

Ye Guichen was taken aback, ”Specters with Spiritual Sense like you?”

”Yes, beyond that, there are plenty of wandering ghosts, but most lack Spiritual Sense, like zombies roaming aimlessly, not much threat to humans. But controlled, they can be deadly weapons.”

Ye Guichen nodded gently at this, ”I see, besides, I have another thought.”

”Please tell me, Mr. Ye.”

Ye Guichen didn’t hold back, ”Since the Wolf Head Gang escaped Yan King’s watch, they must have skills, and having remained undisturbed in Yong’an City for years, they must have significant strength. If I can subdue them, they could be my first hidden force in the sect, greatly enhancing my knowledge about the Seven Kings.”

Gui Tuo said, ”You’re not wrong, but I must warn you, I observed quietly just now, the gang leader’s cultivation seems high, likely the eighth layer of Qi Refining Realm, with strong vital energy, appearing resistant to specters. I dare not approach within ten steps, if you confront him, I can’t help.”

Ye Guichen smiled, ”You’ve given me plenty of information, I’ll handle the rest.”
