My Silly, Sweet Wife

"Hey, what’s the rush!"

Ye Guichen didn’t expect Little Black Dog to be in such a hurry to swallow the pearl. He was about to stop it, but it just gulped it down.

Ye Guichen had no choice but to nervously watch Little Black Dog, fearing something might go wrong.

But soon, Ye Guichen realized that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.

After swallowing the pearl, it seemed that a strange and powerful force was surging rapidly inside Little Black Dog.

Moreover, Little Black Dog seemed to have a drowsy feeling as if it was about to evolve.

"Alright then..." Ye Guichen watched as Little Black Dog collapsed to the ground and began snoring, shaking his head helplessly and picking it up.

This guy was a bit clumsy, it seems.

Ye Guichen sighed. After putting Little Black Dog into the Jiuyou Tower, he walked out of the alley.

Judging by the look of Little Black Dog, it should be digesting the pearl inside its body while sleeping, and might evolve when it wakes up again.

"Mr. Ye, you’re really quick!" Just as Ye Guichen walked out of the alley, he saw Scar Dragon panting as he ran over.

Clearly, Scar Dragon didn’t catch up to Ye Guichen earlier.

"This has nothing to do with you anymore, go about your business." Ye Guichen looked at Scar Dragon and directly issued an eviction order.

This guy was no longer of use to him.

But Scar Dragon didn’t leave: "Mr. Ye, I admit I did wrong before, but now I just want to follow you and serve you diligently. Please don’t send me away."

"Why do you want to follow me?" Ye Guichen rolled his eyes reluctantly.

Scar Dragon chuckled and said, "Mr. Ye, weren’t you always trying to get entrance tickets to the auction? I just remembered a place where they might have them."

"Oh?" Ye Guichen looked at Scar Dragon with interest, "Where?"

"Follow me. With enough Spirit Stones, nothing in this world cannot be achieved." Scar Dragon made a gesture of invitation.

Ye Guichen didn’t hesitate.

If he could smoothly get into the auction, that would be for the best.

Soon, Scar Dragon unexpectedly took Ye Guichen to a place resembling a teahouse.

There was a large sign at the entrance, named Yiwei Teahouse.

The name looked quite ordinary.

There wasn’t anyone blocking the entrance either.

Scar Dragon led Ye Guichen to the second floor.

As soon as he entered the second floor, Ye Guichen heard a commotion inside.

Looking up, he saw it was quite lively on the second floor, with more than a dozen tables set up and many people drinking tea.

However, even more people were standing and chatting.

"I have an auction entrance ticket here; only one thousand Spirit Stones, how about it?"

"You’re extortionate, a thousand Spirit Stones? Back when I bought it, it only cost ten Spirit Stones to get a ticket."

"Heh, come on now, my friend. Are you joking? There are only two hundred of these entrance tickets, and everyone who attends had to be screened. You could buy it? Hah, if you could buy the entrance ticket, why would you be here?"

"What’s the deal? Can’t I just check if there’s anything I want to buy here?"

"Hehe, just admit you can’t afford it, why pretend!"

The person holding the entrance ticket waved it in his hand and raised his voice a notch, "Come, come, it’s one thousand Spirit Stones now, and if you don’t buy it in an hour, it’ll be two thousand Spirit Stones."

Many people initially wanted to buy an entrance ticket, but after hearing the price, they just shook their heads and found a place to sit.

Ye Guichen understood the situation clearly.

Turns out there are scalpers here, specializing in reselling entrance tickets.

However, Ye Guichen didn’t rush to buy but instead found a seat.

Scar Dragon happily tagged along with Ye Guichen, "Mr. Ye, aren’t you buying?"

"No rush." Ye Guichen asked quietly, "How did you know about this place?"

"Hehe, because the auction entrance tickets are limited, and many are monopolized by the City Lord Mansion and Spirit Treasure Pavilion. So, very few tickets circulate outside." Scar Dragon pointed his chin at the ticket scalper, "I had heard that tickets were being resold here in the past, but I never had the money to come by, so..."

Hearing this, Ye Guichen’s mouth twitched slightly.

So you brought me here only after seeing me spend money generously, huh?

Still, as long as it’s something that can be settled with money, Ye Guichen is naturally willing.

Looking around again, Ye Guichen noticed that besides selling entrance tickets, some seemed to be pushing other goods here.

It’s quite clear that some who couldn’t attend the auction were selling here instead.

Just then, the conversation at the table next to Ye Guichen caught his attention.

"Have you heard?" someone whispered sneakily.

Their companion immediately perked up: "Heard what?"

"Zhao Wencheng from Taihe Town has been killed!"

"What?" The surrounding people gasped upon hearing this.

Although Taihe Town is some distance from here, the three major families are like local lordly powers, and such a big incident is bound to spread over time.

"What on earth happened? I heard Zhao Wencheng was quite skilled, and he has strong roots in Taihe Town. How could he get killed suddenly?"

"You don’t know, huh? That Zhao Wencheng actually practiced an evil technique, the Devouring Blood Scripture."

"What? Devouring Blood Scripture? Is there really such a Cultivation Technique in the world?"

Many people’s expressions changed upon hearing about this Cultivation Technique, seeming to recognize its horror.

A younger individual expressed doubt, "That’s not right, I heard from my master that the Devouring Blood Scripture is extremely wicked. Once thoroughly cultivated, it wouldn’t be easy to kill someone like that. How could he suddenly die?"
