My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 982: There’s Something in the Swamp

Right now, Wei Donglin is already as thin as a stick, looking neither human nor ghost.

Especially with his voice also extremely hoarse; if seen at night, it would surely give someone a fright.

From initially scheming against Ye Guichen, wanting to deal with him, Wei Donglin still has no intention of repenting.

Watching Ye Guichen step by step walk towards the abyss of death, Wei Donglin becomes increasingly excited.

As if seeing Ye Guichen kneel before him and beg for mercy is the only hope sustaining his life.

"Look, what's that!"

At this moment, Gongsun Fengying suddenly pointed at the swamp nearby and shouted.

Ye Guichen looked up, and his brow immediately furrowed.

It was actually a corpse.

Then two, then three...

Before long, over twenty corpses floated out.

Each corpse faced upwards; some were evidently dead for a long time, while others had clearly died recently.

Moreover, near Ye Guichen and his companions, suddenly the water stirred, and a hand struggled out of the swamp, "Help, help me..."

Vaguely, the owner of that hand seemed to be one of the people from Wan Jian Villa whom Ye Guichen encountered earlier.

Looking closely, Ye Guichen found that among those floating bodies, indeed several were from Wan Jian Villa.

However, it seemed something was lurking in the swamp.

Just as the hand emerged, it was suddenly pulled back down, and then was no more.

"What's going on here?"

"Is there something in the swamp?"

"Quickly look, those people are the ones from Wan Jian Villa just now!"

Luo Huasheng pointed at one person crawling at the swamp edge and shouted softly.

Half of that person's body was submerged in the swamp, with the upper body outside; from the clothing, they were indeed from Wan Jian Villa.

However, that person was clearly dead, lying motionless there.

"Hehe, hehe, do you dare cross the swamp? See that? You can't cross, Ye Guichen, right? I was correct, you don't dare to cross!" Wei Donglin chuckled sinisterly, his voice ghostly.

"Throw him in." Ye Guichen's face darkened.

The reason for keeping Wei Donglin around was just to have him lead the way.

Yet all along, he thought Ye Guichen wouldn't dare to kill him.

Now, it seems there's no need to keep him anymore.

Even if the swamp harbors something, even if not human, it is likely related to the Eternal Life Hall.

Since there are people from Eternal Life Hall, there's no need for the useless Wei Donglin.

Xuanyuan Wudi seemed long wanting to kill Wei Donglin, and seeing Ye Guichen finally spoke, he grabbed him and threw him straight into the swamp.

Wei Donglin didn't expect Ye Guichen to throw him right away and yelled as he was tossed in mid-air, "Ye, you will die a horrible death! A horrible death!"

Splash!

Wei Donglin fell into the swamp, splashing mud everywhere, and then sank right down, floundering only twice before disappearing.

After that, there was no more life.

Suddenly, the surroundings became tranquil, seeming even the birds and insects vanished.

The Wolf King as if confronted an immense danger, slowly crouched, its back arched, tail drooped, with fangs bared, eyes stared intensely at the swamp, as if facing a great enemy.

"Quick, move back!"

Ye Guichen also sensed a powerful aura spreading in the swamp, and shouted, blocking Luo Huasheng and Gongsun Fengying.

In a flash, something burst from the swamp like a cannonball, speeding towards Ye Guichen.

The speed was so fast that even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would find it hard to dodge.

Fortunately, Ye Guichen stood in front, and as it charged out, he swung mid-air and slashed with energy transformed into a blade, striking it down.

"Squeak!"

Who knew, after emitting a scream like that of a monkey, it missed the mark and folded its body, jumping back into the swamp, disappearing once more.

"What was that just now?"

"So fast, it seemed like a person?"

"Have you ever seen a person who doesn't suffocate in the swamp?"

Gongsun Fengying glanced at Luo Huasheng, feeling secretly afraid.

If not for Ye Guichen blocking them in time, they would likely be dragged into the water by now.

Xuanyuan Wudi snorted, "I thought it was something noteworthy, just a water monkey of the Witch God Sect, humph, let me go eliminate them!"

"Water monkey?"

Luo Huasheng and Gongsun Fengying exchanged glances, showing astonished expressions.

Ye Guichen felt it wasn't that simple.

Even if it's a water monkey, it's probably not something ordinary people can handle.

Moreover, the people from Wan Jian Villa likely suffered greatly, and for such a long time, even Li Jianyi wasn't seen; even if he's alive, he's likely gravely injured.

Earlier interactions made Ye Guichen see that Li Jianyi's skills were strong; even if not a Martial Arts Grandmaster, nearly comparable.

This level of expert couldn't deal with the water monkeys, proving those in the swamp are not simple.

But Xuanyuan Wudi clearly disregarded the things in the swamp.

Before Ye Guichen could speak, he had jumped off the wolf's back.

Though his leg was lame, he put both hands on the ground, moving with incredible speed, and reached the swamp's edge after several leaps, then slapped the ground, soaring through the air.

As he soared, Xuanyuan Wudi flicked his left hand into the water.

An almost invisible spider silk flew out, directly wrapping around one of the corpses.

Then, Xuanyuan Wudi gently tugged.

The corpse floating on the swamp didn't move; the spider silk pulled Xuanyuan Wudi onto the corpse's back.

Using this method, Xuanyuan Wudi quickly reached the center of the swamp, with one hand on a corpse, ears perked listening to something.

Seeing this, Luo Huasheng and Gongsun Fengying were completely stunned.

Just the technique of standing with one hand on a corpse without sinking into the swamp was beyond them.

"This Senior Xuanyuan is indeed formidable!" Luo Huasheng clasped his hands together, sincerely admiring.

Gongsun Fengying pursed her lips, glanced at Ye Guichen; though somewhat unwilling, she also felt Xuanyuan Wudi indeed had skills.

Yet with Xuanyuan Wudi present, Gongsun Fengying suddenly felt her journey here seemed unnecessary.

She felt a bit disappointed.

She increasingly discovered the gap between herself and Ye Guichen widening.

Before, if comparing family background, Ye Guichen might not have matched her.

But as time goes on, Ye Guichen's abilities far exceeded what identity represented, so even Mr. Gongsun couldn't help but want to match Ye Guichen with Gongsun Fengying.

Now it seems, just the title of "Young Master" from someone like Xuanyuan Wudi could topple all secular noble families.

This Ye Guichen probably has an extraordinary identity, leaving her far behind. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

With a faint sense of disappointment spreading, Gongsun Fengying's eyes showed a trace of sadness as she looked back at the swamp.
