My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1435 - 1354: Like a Bat, Like a Monkey

Feng Wuxiu revered Ye Guichen like a god, naturally knowing everything and holding nothing back.

After learning the origins of these people from Wan Jian Villa, Ye Guichen chuckled, "Now that the Yin Ghost Sect has been annihilated, you guys have come here for nothing."

"Really annihilated?"

Upon hearing Ye Guichen’s words, everyone from Wan Jian Villa couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.

Although the Yin Ghost Sect was not a major prestigious sect, wanting to annihilate it wouldn’t be so easy.

"Mr. Ye, from your words, are you saying you destroyed the Yin Ghost Sect?" Feng Wuxiu had no doubt about Ye Guichen’s words, but Dugu Yue felt that Ye Guichen was boasting.

Gui Tuo, Yan Yan, and the little black dog had been taken into the Jiuyou Tower by Ye Guichen beforehand. Apart from some corpses of the Yin Ghost Sect disciples, only Ye Guichen was present at the scene.

Moreover, Ye Guichen emerged from the belly of the Insect King.

In other words, Ye Guichen single-handedly annihilated the entire Yin Ghost Sect.

What a joke.

It’s not just Dugu Yue who didn’t believe it; even those disciples from Wan Jian Villa didn’t believe it.

Ye Guichen couldn’t be bothered to explain, "Everyone, now that matters here are settled, you should leave quickly. This underground place is not safe, and it’s even more dreadful than the Yin Ghost Sect."

Then, he nodded to Feng Wuxiu and turned around to continue heading underground.

Yang Buxiu was nowhere to be seen since the Insect King appeared.

Regardless of whether there’s a ghost lair underground, Ye Guichen would not easily let Yang Buxiu go.

Dare to plot against him, then he must have the awareness of failing his schemes.

"Mr. Ye, seeing that you are still alive, I’m very happy. Could you let me remain by your side?" Feng Wuxiu caught up with Ye Guichen, looking at him eagerly.

"Why do you want to stick around me?" Ye Guichen was somewhat speechless.

Although Feng Wuxiu’s cultivation had greatly improved, sticking by his side was more of a burden.

Feng Wuxiu naturally understood Ye Guichen’s point and said awkwardly, "I know my cultivation is not as strong as yours; I’ll often be a burden. But I can handle errands. Though I haven’t left Wan Jian Villa, I’ve been traveling everywhere. I hope Mr. Ye can give me a chance so I can follow you."

"By the way, Chu Chu heard you went missing and even heard you were dead; she cried for a whole seven days and now is melancholy every day. If possible, you should go and see her."

Ye Guichen trembled slightly upon hearing this.

With his six-month disappearance, surely many assumed he was dead.

Unexpectedly, Feng Chuchu would cry for him.

For some reason, a warm feeling arose in Ye Guichen’s heart.

"If you want to follow, then follow."

Without saying more, Ye Guichen continued to proceed down.

Feng Wuxiu was overjoyed and quickly followed like a humble servant.

Watching Ye Guichen and Feng Wuxiu’s backs, Dugu Yue’s brows furrowed deeply.

Though doubtful in his heart.

This underground place was perilous, but it also held opportunities.

With Ye Guichen appearing here, regardless of whether he truly killed the Yin Ghost Sect members, but seeing him head underground, certainly there were treasures beneath.

Though the Spirit Beast Sect incident was over in many’s hearts, watching Ye Guichen, Dugu Yue’s thoughts arose again.

"Gui Zi, return quickly and send a message to our Wan Jian Villa, saying we’ve discovered Ye Guichen." After pondering for a moment, Dugu Yue commanded a disciple beside him.

The disciple asked in confusion, "Second Master, Mr. Ye doesn’t seem hostile to us, why send news to Wan Jian Villa?"

"You understand nothing. Ye Guichen obtained many treasures in the Spirit Beast Sect. If our Wan Jian Villa gets these treasures, then even the Xuantian Sect won’t be of concern. Hmph, by then, what’s an alliance hierarch worth?"

Dugu Yue’s eyes flashed with greed, "Alright, go quickly and send the message; I’ll follow him down to see."

The disciple nodded and departed upon hearing this.

However, there was a sentence unsaid by Dugu Yue.

If down here, where no one else visits, and should Ye Guichen be silently killed, unseen by gods or ghosts, then claim the annihilation of Yin Ghost Sect himself, wouldn’t Dugu Yue become a hero?

As they say, a person without harm bears their guilt while possessing precious treasures.

Ye Guichen naturally wouldn’t expect that after saving others, without provoking anyone, he would still be schemed against.

Without Yang Buxiu leading the way, Ye Guichen was not worried about getting lost.

Shortly after, he received a report from a remnant soul.

According to the remnant soul, there was actually a spring underground.

But what emitted from the spring wasn’t water, but black magma.

Just being close to the magma makes one feel an urge to worship.

Many remnant souls couldn’t resist the temptation of the magma and had already thrown themselves into it.

But as for what lay beneath the magma, the remnant souls did not know.

Because after watching many companions enter the magma and not return, the remnant soul dared not continue deeper.

Black magma?

Ye Guichen became interested and nonchalantly collected the remnant soul before continuing forward.

On the way, Feng Wuxiu occasionally spoke of the changes at Wan Jian Villa during Ye Guichen’s six-month absence.

Among these, Feng Chuchu showed the most obvious change.

Since separating from Ye Guichen, Feng Chuchu had become increasingly haggard.

Feng Chuchu’s father also introduced some well-known disciples to Feng Chuchu, but Feng Chuchu either refused to see them or, even if she did meet them, she showed a cold face.

Mr. Feng was so angry that he stamped his feet and asked Feng Chuchu what she was really after.

In the end, Feng Chuchu said she already had someone in her heart.

"Mr. Ye, although Chu Chu didn’t say who the person in her heart was, Yang Di and I both know, her heart belongs to you." Feng Wuxiu looked at Ye Guichen with a complex expression.

A beauty loves a hero.

This is human nature.

Once, even Junior Sister Yang Di had a great fondness for this Senior Brother of hers.

However, Feng Wuxiu harbors feelings for Feng Chuchu.

But upon learning that Feng Chuchu’s heart was attached to Ye Guichen, Feng Wuxiu’s thoughts began to fade.

Not only that, Feng Wuxiu now even lost the desire to settle down.

Because, after witnessing Ye Guichen’s mighty display of wielding ten swords, he became obsessed, his pursuit of the Sword Dao grew increasingly fervent.

He feels that the Sword Dao at Wan Jian Villa can no longer satisfy his inner desires.

Only by leaving Wan Jian Villa can he seek higher aspirations.

Moreover, Feng Wuxiu also heard of a Sword God in the Northern North Desolation.

The person’s Sword Dao is exquisite, it’s said that one sword can open mountains and rivers, although not an Immortal, nearly reaching the Immortal’s realm.

Such a master leaves Feng Wuxiu lost in admiration.

But Feng Wuxiu also knows that finding the Sword God is not easy, following Ye Guichen could also be a form of honing.

Upon hearing Feng Wuxiu’s words, Ye Guichen’s emotions became extremely complicated.

"I’m planning to head to the Northern North. On the way, it seems I’ll pass by Wan Jian Villa, right?" Ye Guichen spoke, feeling he should give Feng Chuchu an explanation.

Since discovering the existence of Immortals in the world, Ye Guichen’s pursuit of romantic love has dulled significantly; he only desires to seek the Immortal Dao.

But who would have known that his charm was so strong; unwittingly, he even captured Feng Chuchu’s heart.

This was something Ye Guichen didn’t want to see.

Therefore, Ye Guichen still wants to make things clear to Feng Chuchu, urging her not to remain deluded.

As they spoke, the surrounding air became increasingly cold.

The piercing chill made people quite uncomfortable.

Moreover, the surroundings started becoming hazy, as if shrouded by a thin mist.

Strangely enough, Ye Guichen realized he hadn’t seen Yang Buxiu at all.

Could it be that guy Yang Buxiu had already fled?

Thinking it over, Ye Guichen felt it was unlikely.

At that moment, there were many Insect Kings obstructing the way back, so even if Yang Buxiu were more skilled, he couldn’t possibly retreat.

The only possibility was to continue pressing forward.

Furthermore, Ye Guichen speculated, given that there’s something like a Ghost Pill underground, Yang Buxiu wouldn’t easily give up.

Although the dangers are unpredictable, the temptation of the Ghost Pill is too great.

Now that Gui Jianchou is dead, even if Yin Ghost Sect has been annihilated, once the Ghost Pill is consumed, the strength will surge explosively, such temptation is irresistible.

"Help, help!"

Just as Ye Guichen was wandering in his thoughts, a faint cry for help appeared ahead.

Although weak, Ye Guichen could roughly discern that it seemed to be Yang Buxiu’s voice.

Quickening his pace, Ye Guichen soon saw Yang Buxiu, with only half his body, lying on the ground, his face full of pain.

The lower half of his body was nowhere in sight, looking as though something had torn it away.

"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, save me!" Upon seeing Ye Guichen, Yang Buxiu reached out a hand, his face pleading earnestly.

"Feng Wuxiu, be cautious." Ye Guichen didn’t rush forward, first offering a reminder before walking up.

Feng Wuxiu immediately became alert to the surroundings.

"What happened?" Ye Guichen squatted, looking at the half-dead Yang Buxiu and asked.

Yang Buxiu was about to answer, when his pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with terror as he looked past Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen also sensed something amiss, quickly lifting his head to look above.

At this glance, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but twitch his eyes twice.

On the rock wall above, there were two bat-like creatures crawling.

However, each was about one meter six in size, roughly equivalent to an adult.

The creature was extremely withered, seemingly just skin covering bones, yet its feet resembled that of a monkey, its hands like monkey claws, but its arms and body connected like a bat.

At first glance, the creature resembled a giant bat.

Upon lifting his head, Feng Wuxiu instinctively looked up too.

"What, what is that?" Seeing the monster, Feng Wuxiu quickly moved closer to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen tried searching through the Mystical Beast Lore but found nothing.

It seems, whether the previously encountered Insect Kings or these bat-monkey-like creatures now, neither appeared in the Mystical Beast Lore.

If that’s the case, they probably don’t belong to the beast category.
