My Silly, Sweet Wife

"Even the Soul-Breaking Whip of the Sky Demon Sect has been brought out by Wu Xiang." Yu Wen Dou saw the long whip in Wu Xiang’s hand and secretly worried for Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen took the Immortal Slayer Sword from his back and instantly executed the Swift Steps technique, soaring through the air and vanishing from sight.

He kept swinging in mid-air, and the plum blossom needles bent upon striking the Immortal Slayer Sword. Ye Guichen maneuvered at the pinnacle of his agility, shifting around the Soul-Breaking Whip, quickly reaching Wu Xiang’s side.

Ye Guichen kicked out horizontally, striking Wu Xiang’s chest, causing Wu Xiang to fly backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting blood.

In the distance, Yu Wen Dou was clearly surprised that Ye Guichen defeated Wu Xiang with overwhelming strength, his face filled with amazement.

Wu Xiang was already stunned by Ye Guichen’s displayed prowess, especially that peculiar figure, which he couldn’t grasp, inducing feelings of retreat.

Seeing his successful strike, Ye Guichen gripped the Immortal Slayer Sword and aimed to stab Wu Xiang’s chest.

At that moment, Wu Xiang suddenly threw a blood sphere into the air, which exploded, spreading thick blood mist around, obscuring Ye Guichen’s vision as his figure retreated swiftly.

Ye Guichen, realizing this, did not pursue and turned back to his seat.

"My friend, I’m Yu Wen Dou from Tingxue Pavilion; may I know your name?" Yu Wen Dou asked warmly.

Seeing Ye Guichen’s displayed strength, Yu Wen Dou was eager to form an alliance, especially after seeing the barbarians behind Ye Guichen; it solidified his intention.

"Ye Guichen." Ye Guichen replied calmly.

"What’s so impressive! He just defeated Wu Xiang!" Yu Wenxuan mocked upon seeing Ye Guichen’s arrogant demeanor.

Hearing Yu Wenxuan’s words, Ye Guichen showed displeasure. He hadn’t offended her, yet she repeatedly ridiculed him, stirring a touch of anger in Ye Guichen. Still, considering Yu Wen Dou’s prior assistance, Ye Guichen chose to ignore her.

Ye Guichen couldn’t fathom how deeply his powerful display had shocked Yu Wenxuan. Although her father could crush opponents, Ye Guichen was only at the fourth level of the Jindan stage, yet his figure was etched into Yu Wenxuan’s mind.

"Are you heading to the Barbarian Land?" Yu Wen Dou asked gently.

"I am. How about you..." Ye Guichen inquired in return.

Yu Wen Dou, with a composed expression, thoughtfully said to Ye Guichen, "Mr. Ye, truth be told, we’re heading to the Barbarian Land for the annually opening life spring."

"If Mr. Ye agrees, would it be possible to accompany us?" Yu Wen Dou carefully asked.

"Dad! Why beg him to take us there? He’s only Jindan level four, lower in strength than me—taking him is like bringing a burden!" Yu Wenxuan complained nearby.

Hearing Yu Wenxuan’s words, Ye Guichen’s anger gradually rose. Coldly, he said to Yu Wen Dou, "Miss Yu is right. My unremarkable prowess would only trouble you. We should just go separately."

Seeing Ye Guichen’s cold demeanor, Yu Wen Dou urgently responded to Yu Wenxuan beside him, "Xuan’er, be respectful. Apologize to Mr. Ye!"

"No... I won’t!" Yu Wenxuan felt wronged, having to apologize to someone she barely knew, staring sharply at Ye Guichen.

"At once, or I’ll have Uncle Jian send you back to Tingxue Pavilion," Yu Wen Dou sternly said.

Hearing her father’s words, Yu Wenxuan dared not protest. She had begged persistently to join the trip, and Yu Wen Dou even brought Uncle Jian for her safety.

Yu Wenxuan, full of resentment, approached Ye Guichen and apologized in a tiny voice akin to a mosquito.

"Louder, Xuan’er." Yu Wen Dou, evidently dissatisfied with her volume, urged.

"No need, then let’s depart together early tomorrow." Ye Guichen, seeing Yu Wen Dou’s actions, felt embarrassed to refuse again, and headed upstairs.

Yu Wen Dou was thrilled by Ye Guichen’s acceptance.

"Dad, why pursue that guy?!" After Ye Guichen left, Yu Wenxuan impatiently asked Yu Wen Dou.

"Xuan’er, you must understand that the Illusion Forest has great dangers. Ye Guichen has barbarians leading him; they live there long-term and must know the dangers well. With their guidance, we can avoid unnecessary trouble." Yu Wen Dou explained seriously.

Beside him, Yu Wenxuan heard her father’s words and had a moment of realization.

Returning to his room, Ye Guichen swiftly moved into the Jiuyou Tower. After using up Nine Nether Flame against the black-robed man last time, Ye Guichen deeply felt its power.

He decided to refine more Nine Nether Flame to strengthen himself, preparing to face strong enemies without lacking fighting potential.

Soon, Ye Guichen thoroughly refined the remnant souls collected from the black-robed man, yet only managed to condense three strands of Nine Nether Flame, leaving him amazed. Clearly, he needed to replenish the souls at the first opportunity, Ye Guichen thought to himself.
