My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1225: Looks Like an Easy Target

Ye Guichen ran for hundreds of kilometers in one breath, stopping a few times because the three little wolves were hungry and howling.

Originally, Ye Guichen wanted to feed the little wolves the meat of the Three-headed Red Wolf, but felt it was too cruel, so he lit a fire and ate it himself, and hunted some wild game for them to fill their bellies.

Along the way, Ye Guichen nearly devoured the Three-headed Red Wolf entirely, and at last discovered a dark fist-sized object in the Red Wolf's Dantian.

It contained powerful energy.

If he guessed correctly, it was likely the beast core inside the Three-headed Red Wolf.

Ye Guichen didn't refine the beast core, but stored it in his ring.

After consuming wolf meat all along the way, Ye Guichen felt his power had increased significantly, even his realm seemed to be rising.

However, Ye Guichen didn't rush to advance, choosing instead to reinforce his fifth-layer Qi Refinement stage solidly.

After spending some time together, the three little wolves became more reliant and affectionate towards Ye Guichen, occasionally rubbing their little heads on him or licking his face, making Ye Guichen's heart overflow with love.

But, because each of the three wolves had three heads, they looked incredibly odd.

Nine heads together created a rather spectacular sight.

That night, Ye Guichen found a place to rest, but was awakened early the next morning by noises.

Vaguely, Ye Guichen heard someone talking.

"Have you heard? A sixth-rank magical beast appeared at Three Harmonies Valley; many have rushed over."

"Of course I've heard. I also heard our Grandmaster went there."

"Isn't Grandmaster in seclusion? Why did he suddenly come out?"

"You mean you don't know? Grandmaster Su became the eighth Foundation Establishment Cultivator of our Silver Spear Sect recently. The Sect Leader of the Long Sword Sect provoked our Silver Spear Sect, simply taking advantage of our weakness."

"Now it's fine; Grandmaster Su will surely kill the Long Sword Sect Leader and stop his arrogance!"

"Brother, that's great news! I can't believe such a good thing happened during my absence."

They chatted and walked briskly: "Up ahead is Fengming Town, two more days and we'll be back at the Silver Spear Sect. I hope we can witness Grandmaster Su showcasing his might when we return!"

"Haha, let's go. To witness the epic battle between Grandmaster Su and the Long Sword Sect Leader, many disciples in training have returned."

They quickly walked away.

Ye Guichen stayed up in the tree, listening clearly.

His mouth twitched twice involuntarily.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Are those two actually from the Silver Spear Sect, and disciples of the Su the Monster I killed?

"Wait, isn't the Silver Spear Sect several thousand miles away from the Dan God Sect? Did I run off course?" Ye Guichen thought, suddenly feeling exasperated.

He intended to return to the Dan God Sect, but ended up running further away; his sense of direction was quite poor.

The key was not encountering any people in between; otherwise, he could have asked them.

Although speechless, Ye Guichen decided to follow the direction those two were heading and quickly caught up.

This time, before too long, Ye Guichen saw a small town surrounded by two-meter-high low walls.

The town was bustling with people, very lively.

At the top of the gate were three large characters: Fengming Town.

"So this is Fengming Town?"

Every time Ye Guichen arrived at a hidden town, he was filled with curiosity.

This feeling was akin to traveling back to ancient times.

The clothing here appeared ancient, with no modernized items, many carrying swords and other weapons, looking fierce.

Yet, Ye Guichen noticed most of these people hadn't even reached the Innate Realm, appearing rather ordinary.

Only a few Innate experts, and even Qi Refiners were scarce.

Evidently, Fengming Town was populated by ordinary people, not cultivators.

At the entrance of Fengming Town, on the wall was a notice.

The contents of the notice mentioned the imminent epic battle, occurring in three days.

Silver Spear Sect versus Long Sword Sect.

"Hey, are Silver Spear Sect and Long Sword Sect powerful?" Ye Guichen asked someone.

That person glanced at Ye Guichen, his eyes quickly drawn by the three little wolves Ye Guichen carried.

"Are those magical beasts?" he asked, surprised, then scrutinized Ye Guichen, "Are you trying to present the magical beasts to Silver Spear Sect or Long Sword Sect?"

"Ahem, brother, are these two sects really powerful?" Ye Guichen chuckled.

That person puzzled: "You don't know these two sects? Goodness, where are you from? Within a thousand miles, these are top-grade cultivation sects; all capable ordinary people want to join them."

"However, these two sects have very stringent requirements for disciples; those with no talent can't enter at all."

"I see!" Ye Guichen realized, "Then why are they dueling?"

"Geez, don't you get it? Both Silver Spear Sect and Long Sword Sect want to be number one, to monopolize resources within a thousand-mile radius."

"Silver Spear Sect hasn't produced a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for over a hundred years; its power is steadily declining. Haven't you heard the phrase? It says, 'Strike while he's down, take his life!' The Long Sword Sect Leader broke through to Foundation Establishment three years ago, becoming a Foundation Establishment Expert, naturally won't miss this chance."

"The Long Sword Sect Leader challenges Silver Spear Sect before this disciple selection, isn't the motive obvious?"

These ordinary people seemingly knew a lot about cultivators.

Ye Guichen mostly understood this now.

Meanwhile, many had noticed the three little wolves behind Ye Guichen.

Most people showed greed, evidently aware these three little wolves were magical beasts.

Some pointed fingers at Ye Guichen and whispered among themselves.

Ye Guichen's extraordinary hearing allowed him to catch their discussions easily.

They were only considering he was alone, with no powerful aura sensed, wanting to kill him for the three little wolves.

Truly, as the saying goes, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a precious jade makes him guilty.'

Ye Guichen pretended not to hear.

Those planning to move against him were at most Innate experts; he could crush them effortlessly with a finger.

If they sought death, he wouldn't hesitate to send them to the afterlife.

"Brother, thanks a lot!" Ye Guichen cupped his fists, then handed a Spirit Stone to the middle-aged man he queried.

The middle-aged man stared at the Spirit Stone, initially stunned, then beamed with delight: "No, no worries."

Even though he was an ordinary person, he clearly recognized the value of the rare Spirit Stone.

A single low-grade Spirit Stone was enough to buy himself a big house.

Simply using a few words, he earned himself a house—quite the profitable deal.

But Ye Guichen's smiled action made the eyes of those watching him shine even brighter.

Not only did he have magical beasts, but spirit stones too.

Seems he's quite the fat sheep.
