My Silly, Sweet Wife

The arrival of the Son of Yinming, the sweep of the undead.

These two pieces of news seemed to have wings, rapidly spreading throughout the territories governed by the Seven Kings.

On this day, King Qin secretly met someone.

No one knew who this person was, nor their name or origin. But ever since meeting this person, King Qin directly ordered to transform hostility into peace with the other six kings, to reassess the relationships among the Seven Kings.

Furthermore, King Qin denounced the crimes of the Son of Yinming.

He claimed that the appearance of the undead was closely linked to the Son of Yinming, and had evidence proving that the undead were indeed the work of the Son of Yinming.

Rumors spread through the streets.

In a storytelling teahouse.

The storyteller was spitting with enthusiasm.

”They say, the Son of Yinming returned from hell, carrying evil powers, seeking revenge!”

”His revenge targets not only the Seven Kings but all the common people. Once the Son of Yinming truly controls the Seven Kings, he will turn the Hidden Gates into a living hell.”

The audience was dumbstruck, whispering among themselves.

”Did you hear? North of Xihu City, within the boundary of Three Harmonies Valley, everyone died overnight, not leaving a single survivor.”

”Not only that, I heard that General Bai Hu of Xihu City received the news and kept those undead out, thus preventing the disaster from spreading.”

”The Son of Yinming is truly malicious. Perhaps the Seven Kings had their reasons when they took action against the Nether Emperor.”

”I also heard a piece of news. It is said that the Nether Emperor originated from the Netherworld Mountain, near the northern Chaos Sea, and was an evil spirit from hell. Years ago, the Seven Kings, headed by King Qin, killed the Nether Emperor to prevent the evil spirit from descending into the world.”

”King Qin is indeed wise. Who would have thought that not eradicating him completely back then allowed the Son of Nether Emperor to emerge again? This time, we hope King Qin will display the same might as before and kill the Son of Nether Emperor.”

”Yes, we hope King Qin quickly kills the Son of Nether Emperor and returns peace to us!”

Ordinary people are the quickest to believe in rumors.

Before long, Ye Guichen became the embodiment of evil, while the Seven Kings, led by King Qin, became the symbol of justice.

Inside the Qin Palace.

King Qin heard the feedback from below, his face full of pride.

”This move by the Holy Envoy is truly brilliant, haha. Originally, we were thinking of capturing that boy to exploit the Nether Emperor’s reputation, but who knew, the Holy Envoy made such a move, completely reversing the rumors.”

King Qin gleefully slapped the table.

In front of him stood a hooded figure whose face could not be seen.

The hooded figure laughed coldly, his voice devoid of joy or sorrow: ”King Qin, thirteen years ago, you killed the Nether Emperor and became the current King Qin. Although your power is still not as great as the Nether Emperor’s back then, you’re a hundred times stronger than when the Nether Emperor was alive. Now, twenty-three years have passed, and you still haven’t controlled the Seven Kings or become the new Nether Emperor. The Holy Hall Master is somewhat disappointed.”

The initially high-and-mighty King Qin was taken aback by these words and hurriedly forced a smile: ”Holy Envoy, I have been trying all these years, but the other six kings are not easy to deal with. Although many of them remain neutral, King Qi and King Chu often collude, leaving me with no opening.”

The hooded figure shook his head: ”That is your issue. The Holy Hall Master supported you in killing the Nether Emperor back then, and now, can still use the same method to kill you, you should understand.”

Frightened, King Qin immediately stood up, his expression terrified: ”Holy Envoy, I understand, I have disappointed the Holy Hall Master. But now is an opportunity, please believe me, that Son of Yinming is not to be feared. Within a month, I will surely kill the Son of Yinming and become the new Nether Emperor, loyal to the Holy Envoy, loyal to the Holy Hall Master.”

”Is that so?” The hooded figure sneered eerily, ”If so, what plans does King Qin have?”

King Qin organized his thoughts and hurriedly said, ”Holy Envoy, now that the Son of Yinming has become the embodiment of evil, everyone is eager to eat his flesh and peel his skin. At such a time, as long as I unite with the other six kings and let them be the vanguard, on the day they are both weary, I can naturally gain the fisherman’s advantage.”

”Heh, heh, your plan is quite cunning,” the hooded figure chuckled lightly, ”Alright then, since that’s the case, I’ll give you an opportunity, a month’s time, then, I will let the undead cooperate with your performance.”

”Thank you, Holy Envoy, for your benevolence!” King Qin was overjoyed.

The hooded figure’s body flickered, and he disappeared.

King Qin’s expression became serious.

”Someone, inform the other six kings, that the Son of Nether Emperor must be killed by everyone, I, Qin Taihe, will be the vanguard, to slay that demon.”

After finishing, King Qin’s mouth curled up, and he muttered to himself, ”Haha, I hope you won’t let me down.”

At the same time.

Inside the Qi Palace.

King Qi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

With Bai Qi gone and Qi soldiers either fleeing or defecting, King Qi was irritable these days.

Especially after hearing that the Son of Nether Emperor was a devil coming from hell, releasing an army of the undead, he felt that the opportunity had arrived.

He originally thought to use the Son of Yinming as leverage, to become the new Nether Emperor.

But now it seems, there’s no need at all.

”Wenren Sangmu, according to you, the Son of Nether Emperor is not weak in skills?” King Qi fixed his gaze on Wenren Sangmu, who had lost both arms.

Wenren Sangmu, having lost his arms, returned immediately with news about Ye Guichen, making up for his mistakes.

Even though Three Harmonies Valley was lost, and Bai Qi surrendered to Ye Guichen, none of this mattered.
