My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1368 - 1306: Dragon City

The losses at the Spirit Beast Sect were truly devastating.

Almost two-thirds of the buildings were burned to the ground, with countless casualties, leaving only five or six hundred survivors.

Even the beasts that had been domesticated scattered and fled in all directions.

This time, the Spirit Beast Sect plummeted from a second-rate sect to one that was not even ranked.

Their hatred for Ye Guichen had reached its peak.

But since they were not completely wiped out, they soon spread the news of Ye Guichen acquiring a rare treasure, hoping to incite others to attack him.

Ye Guichen didn’t care about the schemes of the Spirit Beast Sect.

The treasures he gained this time from the Spirit Beast Sect were simply too abundant.

Originally, he intended to head directly to the so-called Holy Temple, but after careful thought, he ultimately didn’t dare take the risk.

The Holy Temple was too mysterious within the Hidden Sect, and after interacting with the cloaked man, Ye Guichen realized the opponent seemed far more powerful than he had imagined.

Therefore, sufficient strength was necessary to enter the Holy Temple and find the answers he sought.

From the information Ye Guichen had gathered recently, it was highly probable that his mother was affiliated with the Holy Temple and held a significant position.

Moreover, the Holy Temple likely concealed secrets related to higher cultivation realms.

"In this world, there might truly be immortals," Ye Guichen thought, deciding not to return to Wan Jian Villa with Feng Chuchu or go to the Imperial City of the Daqian Dynasty with Qin Muge. Instead, after bidding them farewell, he took the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf to a small mountain about a few dozen miles away from the Spirit Beast Sect.

He found a place to stay on the mountain and temporarily settled down.

Since he had acquired so many treasures from the Spirit Beast Sect, Ye Guichen needed to find a way to refine them and enhance his cultivation as much as possible.

Additionally, Ye Guichen felt that he had been on the run for too long without taking the time to calm down.

This was a perfect opportunity to let his heart slowly find peace.

Ye Guichen considered experiencing a period of ordinary life.

Once his cultivation had achieved a significant leap, he would find a way to leave.

Because Ye Guichen understood that the news of him obtaining the rare treasure would inevitably spread, and by then, with masters from all over gathering, even if his cultivation were extraordinary, he would not stand a chance against them.

The urgent task was to avoid the spotlight.

Just like that, Ye Guichen abruptly vanished from sight.

Half a year later.

In a secluded valley known as Kuocang Mountain.

An inconspicuous courtyard.

The scent of fresh grass filled the air, and all kinds of fragrant flowers bloomed in competition.

In the center of the fenced garden, a massive four-eyed wolf, about the size of an ox, lazily basked in the sunshine.

This giant wolf was naturally the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf caught by Ye Guichen earlier.

Over the past half-year, the Dragon Scale Wolf, originally at the ninth level, had undergone earth-shattering changes.

The scales on its back became darker and shinier, appearing sturdier.

Not only that, all its fur had shed, replaced by a layer of scales.

At a glance, aside from one damaged eye, this Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf looked less like a wolf and more like a hornless kirin.

What’s even more astonishing was the deep wisdom reflected in the three eyes of the Dragon Scale Wolf, as if it were not a beast but more like a creature with Spiritual Sense.

Sunlight poured onto the Dragon Scale Wolf, which stretched comfortably, seemingly very satisfied with its current life.

Nearby, on a homemade recliner, Ye Guichen lounged under the sun.

In half a year, Ye Guichen seemed to have gained quite some weight.

He slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the Dragon Scale Wolf, and curled his lips into a meaningful smile: "Wangcai, we’ve been here for half a year now, shouldn’t we go for a stroll?"

The Dragon Scale Wolf didn’t seem particularly pleased with the name Wangcai but still nodded and let out two low growls, as if trying to speak like a human.

Ye Guichen chuckled, stood up, and said, "In that case, why don’t we head to the Daqian Dynasty to have some fun with Qin Muge? I’ve heard that over the past half-year, many people have been searching for my whereabouts; if I suddenly appear, won’t they be thrilled?"

"Woo woo..." Wangcai growled twice, a hint of disdain in its eyes, as if saying, "Master, if they dare come looking for trouble, they might as well be prepared for death!"

"Haha, it seems this past half-year has boosted your confidence as well!" Ye Guichen chuckled, thinking that the Dragon Scale Wolf’s appearance was too conspicuous, and musing while stroking his chin: "Wangcai, if you go out looking like this, it won’t be easy to avoid attention; why don’t you transform into a little dog instead."

"Woo..." The Dragon Scale Wolf looked at Ye Guichen with some pleading.

Ye Guichen’s face fell: "What is it, unwilling?"

The Dragon Scale Wolf immediately lowered its head, showing no resistance, and with a shake of its body, its massive form shrank in the blink of an eye.

Soon, it transformed into an ordinary little dog.

Ye Guichen chuckled with satisfaction.

Although it was unclear whether the Dragon Scale Wolf now qualified as a spiritual beast above the level of a demon beast, through this half-year of constantly consuming demon beast inner cores and being fed various pills and herbs taken from the Spirit Beast Sect, the Dragon Scale Wolf not only could change sizes, but its strength had increased several times over.

Ye Guichen even had a feeling that if the Dragon Scale Wolf faced the soul of that dragon, it might not necessarily lose.

Of course, besides the Dragon Scale Wolf experiencing earth-shattering changes, Ye Guichen himself had also transformed dramatically.
