My Silly, Sweet Wife

Accompanied by the delighted voice of a woman, a fragrant breeze seemed to flutter like a butterfly into Ye Guichen's embrace.

Immediately, low sobbing could be heard.

Ye Guichen spread his arms, somewhat at a loss, and when he looked down, he saw a charming face slightly lifted, looking pitifully at him with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Feng Chuchu?" Ye Guichen was a bit speechless, not expecting to run into her here: "Why have you come?"

"Brother Chen, you still dare to ask? You've been out of touch for so long, I almost thought you were dead." Feng Chuchu pouted, looking aggrieved, completely ignoring the surrounding gazes, as if Ye Guichen was the only one in her eyes.

Ye Guichen was a bit embarrassed being held like this by a great beauty.

However, before he could say anything else, an angry voice rang out: "Chuchu, who is he?"

The young man named Dugu Jifeng rushed forward, one hand clenched into a fist, the other holding a snow lotus, his eyes seemingly burning as he glared at Ye Guichen.

Upon hearing the reprimand, Feng Chuchu finally noticed Dugu Jifeng's presence, completely disregarding his questioning, but with a smug look on her face: "Hmph, who is he? He's obviously my beloved, hundreds of times better than you!"

Dugu Jifeng's face turned beet red instantly.

Just yesterday, his father Dugu Yue had told him that Feng Jiuling intended to marry Feng Chuchu to him.

Dugu Jifeng had always liked Feng Chuchu, and upon hearing this news, he was so happy he didn't sleep for a day and night, even went out of his way to court Feng Chuchu, managing to make a bouquet to gift her.

Yet Feng Chuchu directly threw it away, saying she would never agree to be with Dugu Jifeng.

Dugu Jifeng knew that if Feng Jiuling truly wanted to marry Feng Chuchu to him, Feng Chuchu would have no other choice.

However, Dugu Jifeng also understood that to capture both Feng Chuchu's body and heart, he had to make some efforts.

Thus, in the early morning today, Dugu Jifeng came to this place to hunt for treasures, hoping to find something suitable to gift Feng Chuchu.

If he couldn't find anything for her, he sought to gather some good items to exchange for Spirit Stones, or gift some treasures to his future father-in-law.

After searching for a while without finding anything good, he encountered a Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus.

Upon seeing the snow lotus's appearance, Dugu Jifeng immediately fell for it.

He was certain that gifting this snow lotus to Feng Chuchu, she would definitely like it.

Even if Feng Chuchu didn't like it, Feng Jiuling would surely appreciate it.

But who would have thought, Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere; if not for relying on Wan Jian Villa's name, he couldn't have suppressed the other party.

Nonetheless, hearing that the Alchemist was willing to pay a high price to acquire this Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, Dugu Jifeng's greed grew, knowing there was no reason to miss such a good deal.

Yet unexpectedly, Feng Chuchu showed up and went to embrace another man.

Dugu Jifeng immediately felt like a vast grassland had grown atop his head.

The rage on his face became impossible to conceal: "Feng Chuchu, my father said the villa master already plans to marry you to me, where did you find another man to love?"

He then turned to Ye Guichen, threatening: "Kid, this is Wan Jian Villa's territory; if you don't want to die, you'd better scram quickly. Leave Chuchu now!"

As he spoke, he raised the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus in his hand: "You see this, right? This thousand-year snow lotus is worth ten thousand Spirit Stones. Judging by you, you've probably never seen so many Spirit Stones in your life, huh?"

"Dugu Jifeng, what do you mean!" Seeing Dugu Jifeng humiliate Ye Guichen, Feng Chuchu was instantly displeased.

For the past six months, whether awake or asleep, Feng Chuchu couldn't shake off the shadow of Ye Guichen.

She knew she was completely infatuated with Ye Guichen.

Moreover, she had secretly resolved several times that once she saw Ye Guichen, she'd find a way to confess, not missing the chance again.

Especially upon hearing Feng Jiuling and Dugu Yue planning to deal with Ye Guichen, Feng Chuchu felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

If Ye Guichen truly clashed with her father, what should she do?

Therefore, under no circumstances could she allow a conflict to arise.

"Dugu Jifeng, I will tell my father we're impossible; the person I like is him!" Feng Chuchu, pointing at Ye Guichen, bit her lip, emphasizing once more: "Moreover, I've set my heart on him for life, so stop wasting your efforts!"

"Feng Chuchu, you..." Being publicly confronted by Feng Chuchu like this, Dugu Jifeng felt utterly humiliated; he no longer cared about anything else.

"Fine, Feng Chuchu, then today I'll slaughter this kid; let's see how you fancy a dead man!" Dugu Jifeng waved his hand and shouted at the two thugs following him: "What are you waiting for, kill this little bastard for me!"

The two thugs did not put Ye Guichen in their eyes, and upon hearing this, they charged forward from the left and right, ready to act.

Feng Chuchu stood in front of Ye Guichen, displaying a protective stance like a hen defending its chicks.

However, before any action could be taken, another reprimanding voice rang out: "Dugu Jifeng, you have some nerve!"

Yang Di drew her treasured sword, placing it right against Dugu Jifeng's neck: "Try to harm Mr. Ye even slightly."

Dugu Jifeng hadn't noticed Yang Di earlier, and upon hearing her, he turned his head, his face instantly turned pale.

Yang Di is indeed a young expert from the Wan Jian Villa, and Dugu Jifeng is no match for him at all.

However, Dugu Jifeng couldn't quite understand the relationship between Yang Di and this kid in front of him?

"So it's Senior Sister Yang, what are you doing?" Dugu Jifeng squeezed out a smile as he looked at the sword glinting with cold light, and said with a grin: "What Mr. Ye? Haha, I'm not sure I understand."

Yang Di motioned towards Ye Guichen: "He is Mr. Ye, you must have a death wish to dare lay a hand on Mr. Ye."

"I..." Dugu Jifeng hated Ye Guichen to the core, but what could he do?

It was bad enough with Feng Chuchu protecting him, now Yang Di jumped in as well.

Moreover, judging by Yang Di's stance, if he really made a move on this Mr. Ye, Yang Di might really kill him.

Although Dugu Jifeng hated Ye Guichen with all his heart, he didn't dare act out, only thinking of dealing with Ye Guichen when he had another chance.

Ye Guichen, however, was completely unbothered, looking at Dugu Jifeng with interest: "I say, brother, do you still have time to be jealous of me now? Haha, that snow lotus in your hand is at most a hundred years old, if it's worth a hundred Spirit Stones then that's a lot."

"You're talking nonsense!" As soon as he heard Ye Guichen's words, Dugu Jifeng exploded: "A hundred Spirit Stones? You must be saying that because you can't have it, sour grapes much?"

Then he turned to Feng Chuchu and said: "Chu Chu, look at the kind of person you know, no money of his own, yet he defames others. Hmph, he's jealous because I got my hands on something good."

"I'm jealous of you?" Ye Guichen felt like Dugu Jifeng was beyond saving and shook his head: "Okay, since you think I'm jealous of you, then take a look, where is the beggar who sold you the snow lotus and that wealthy-looking middle-aged man?"

No harm in not reminding him.

That reminder was an awakening for Dugu Jifeng.

He quickly looked around, but where were those two?

It seemed that while he was not paying attention, the two had already fled.

Dugu Jifeng's expression changed several times, glaring fiercely at his subordinates: "Did any of you see those two just now?"

One subordinate shook his head blankly, while another stammered: "Just, just when Miss Chu Chu came, those two seemed to sneak away. I thought since you didn't say anything, you didn't care, so I didn't mention it."

"Damn!" Dugu Jifeng felt the urge to kill someone, but managed to suppress his rage, forcing a smile as he feigned calm with the snow lotus in hand: "Kid, don't think your few words mean anything, hmph, this snow lotus is so large, it must be at least a thousand years old."

Ye Guichen couldn't be bothered to explain.

An old man squeezed through the crowd.

The old man's eyes gleamed upon seeing the snow lotus, quickly walking up to Dugu Jifeng, cupping his hands and smiling: "Young man, may I take a look at your snow lotus?"

"Who are you?" Dugu Jifeng was in a foul mood now, looked at the old man and not only did he not hand over the snow lotus, but he also took two steps back, eyeing the old man warily.

The old man kept a warm smile on his face, explaining: "Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wu Yaoguang, and I'm an alchemist. If this is truly a thousand-year-old Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, I'm willing to pay at least twenty thousand Spirit Stones for it."

"Wu Yaoguang?"

As soon as they heard this name, the surrounding people instantly looked at each other.

But soon, someone suddenly slapped their forehead and exclaimed: "What? Alchemist Wu?"

"Oh my gosh, you are Alchemist Wu?"

"I didn't expect to see you here, sir. I've heard you're a top alchemist capable of refining spirit pills!"

"Wow, seeing Alchemist Wu is truly a rare honor!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

It was clear that many people knew the name Wu Yaoguang.

Dugu Jifeng was also initially stunned, the name seemed familiar but he couldn't immediately recall, subconsciously asking: "Is he famous?"

"Absolutely."

"More than just famous, Alchemist Wu is a top-tier alchemist. The Emperor of the Daqian Dynasty once wanted him to refine pills, but Alchemist Wu didn't agree."

"Exactly, I've also heard that Alchemist Wu enjoys traveling to collect rare herbs. If your Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus is real, Alchemist Wu will definitely take it!"

Many showed admiration towards Wu Yaoguang.

After all, to be acquainted with an alchemist was like having several extra lives, with many benefits.

For practitioners, cultivation talent is extremely important.

But the harshness of cultivation is well-known. If faced with a master, having a pill could be a life-saving measure.

This is precisely why acquiring a good pill is like gaining an extra life.

But good pills are often monopolized by powerful individuals or big organizations, not easily acquired.

However, if you have a good relationship with an alchemist, you'll never have to worry about a shortage of pills.
