My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 978: The Knot in Her Heart Unraveled, Yet Not Entirely Whole

Sun Erniang met Ye Guichen's gaze and inexplicably felt a bit flustered: "You, you're too idealistic; there are no good men under the heavens!"

"Hehe, give it a try; it's always good!"

As Ye Guichen spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and placed it on Sun Erniang's face.

Sun Erniang froze, completely unprepared for Ye Guichen to touch her. She wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

"Don't move!" Ye Guichen's voice seemed to have a magical power, rendering Sun Erniang's body stiff and momentarily in a daze, even forgetting to dodge.

Ye Guichen gently activated the Evergreen Art, and his hand caressed Sun Erniang's face like a massage, streams of vitality flowing from his hand into her skin.

At first, Sun Erniang only felt a ticklish, numb sensation.

But soon, she felt as though some dead skin started peeling away.

"Oh my, what am I seeing?"

"Big Sister's face, look everyone, Big Sister's face!"

"How is this possible? How did that man do it? Is he a deity? How could a gentle touch heal the scars on Big Sister's face?"

The surrounding crowd, who had been vigilantly watching Ye Guichen, exclaimed in shock.

Sun Erniang's heart trembled too, and she subconsciously blinked twice.

This process lasted a few minutes.

Ye Guichen slowly withdrew his hand: "Sun Erniang, the world is vast, and hearts should seek the light! Guan Renwang has pledged loyalty to me, and I hope you can cooperate with him to transform this thousand-mile desert into a paradise, without plundering, without murder, but with martial prowess, capable of facing an army!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Erniang seemed captivated by Ye Guichen's vision; her body involuntarily trembled, and she clenched her fists unconsciously.

How she longed for a normal life?

How she had kept hatred in her heart?

Yet, hatred seemed rooted, and every time she saw her appearance, it seemed to remind her.

Indeed, in the Heartless Sect, there wasn't a single mirror, as Sun Erniang feared accidentally seeing her face.

But the more this was so, the more it deepened her memories.

The more she wanted to forget, the more it couldn't be forgotten.

Hatred continued to breed, to spread, and unknowingly, Sun Erniang found her heart completely enveloped by darkness.

She felt that she might never be able to escape the mire in her lifetime.

Yet, for some unknown reason, Ye Guichen's words seemed to clear the fog, and her heart brightened.

"B-big Sister, look at your face!"

Someone finally mustered the courage and approached Sun Erniang, placing a mirror before her.

Sun Erniang instinctively glared at the person, as if questioning why she had a mirror?

But when her gaze fell upon her face, Sun Erniang was struck as if by lightning.

"Is this me?"

Skin as delicate as a baby's, smooth and perfect.

The original scars seemed to have never existed, leaving only a refined visage.

If a single word had to describe it, it was beautiful!

Yes, beautiful to the point of breathlessness.

Ye Guichen couldn't help but admit, Sun Erniang was very beautiful, her visage easily scoring over ninety.

"How can this be?" Sun Erniang touched her face in a panic, feeling its silky smoothness, akin to the comfort of satin.

Ye Guichen smiled slightly, without speaking further, and walked to the columns.

With a wave of his hand, he severed the ropes binding Luo Huasheng and Zhu Yan.

Then with another wave, spiritual energy seemed to infuse.

The two, who were on the brink of collapse, suddenly lifted their heads, gasping loudly.

"Brother Ye!"

"Mr. Ye?"

Seeing Ye Guichen, the two were overjoyed and astonished.

"You've finally come; if you hadn't, we'd have been dead by now!" Luo Huasheng was almost in tears.

At this moment, he seemed like a child.

But where was there a hint of 'if I don't go to hell, who will'? That selfless demeanor?

"Go find Gongsun Fengying; it's time we hit the road." Ye Guichen did not intend to linger.

Time spent in the desert had been rather long.

Perhaps Yang Hongfu and the others had already reached the foot of Great Cold Mountain.

As for Wei Donglin, Ye Guichen had already sent Kui Long to bring him from Guan Renwang's domain, now likely not far from the Heartless Sect.

However, Wei Donglin now seemed to have become a burden.

With Xuanyuan Wudi around, Great Cold Mountain was likely to be smooth sailing, greatly reducing danger.

Luo Huasheng and Zhu Yan eyed Sun Erniang cautiously.

One glance left the two stunned, as if seeing mistakenly.

"Is this Mother Yasha Sun Erniang?"

"Damn, am I seeing things? How did she become so beautiful?"

"Suddenly, I feel like I'm in love; what do I do?" Zhu Yan looked infatuated.

For so many years, Sun Erniang hadn't heard another man praise her; although it sounded insincere, she wasn't as repelled as before.

"If you keep staring, I'll gouge your eyes out!" Sun Erniang glared fiercely, scaring Zhu Yan into shrinking his neck.

Zhu Yan was deeply afraid of Sun Erniang.

However, he couldn't help but look at her again shortly after lowering his head, his gaze nearly drooling.

This scene fell into Ye Guichen's gaze.

Ye Guichen's lips curved into a smile.

Living on the fringe of a thousand-mile desert, if Zhu Yan truly connected with Sun Erniang, it would be akin to completely linking the desert with the southwestern domain.

"Hehe, it seems Zhu Yan's quite useful." Ye Guichen thought to himself, patting Zhu Yan's shoulder: "You won't need to lead us further. If you wish to stay here, stay; if you want to return, then return. Anyway, it's all up to you."

Zhu Yan froze: "Mr. Ye, I-I... I'm scared."

"Haha, Old Zhu, just how much courage do you lack? With Brother Ye backing you, what's there to fear?" Having shared life and death with Zhu Yan, Luo Huasheng had grown quite familiar with him, giving Zhu Yan's head a strong pat: "Do you not understand Brother Ye's meaning? If you wish to stay, then stay!"

With this, he quickly went to find Gongsun Fengying.

The originally tense atmosphere had unknowingly eased.

Someone directly led Luo Huasheng to release Gongsun Fengying.

Seeing Sun Erniang not obstruct, nor utter a word, granting tacit approval to the presence of Ye Guichen and the others, the women of the Heartless Sect let out a long sigh of relief.

Though Sun Erniang instilled heartlessness, as women, how could they truly be devoid of emotions?

"You, are you Sun Erniang?"

Soon, when Gongsun Fengying came out and saw Sun Erniang, she seemed to witness a marvel: "You, you're so beautiful! No wonder someone once passionately pursued you, even wanting to use you..."

"Cough, cough." Noticing Gongsun Fengying about to mention the unspeakable, Ye Guichen quickly coughed to stop her.

Gongsun Fengying suddenly realized, blushingly smiled, and closed her mouth hurriedly.

Sun Erniang, however, lifted her head, her expression softening. She held Gongsun Fengying's hand, bringing her mouth close to Gongsun's ear: "Gongsun, maybe I was really wrong. If you like him, just chase boldly, that Ye Guichen is indeed among the best. Even if he has many women, being able to win him is a fortune for you!"

In her tone, there was a deep sense of regret.

She knew, even if she liked him, she could only keep it inside.

After all, she was no longer pure.
