My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1470: Chapter 1385: Turbulent Times

In just a few days, Feng Jiuling collected a variety of herbs and delivered them to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen was not polite and accepted them all.

Moreover, he asked Feng Jiuling for a secluded place for retreat, and began his closed-door alchemy session, swallowing the Ghost Pill in the process.

This location was on a mountain north of Wan Jian Villa.

Though the mountain was small, it was the once sword-casting site of Wan Jian Villa’s ancestor, also known as the Sword Heart Land of Wan Jian Villa.

Apart from the successive villa owners, others were simply forbidden to enter.

This time, because Ye Guichen had bestowed great favor upon Wan Jian Villa, no one objected to Ye Guichen residing in the Sword Heart Land.

Furthermore, Ye Guichen said that if more herbs were collected, they should be delivered to him, the more the better, and just leaving them outside the Sword Heart Land would suffice, he would naturally come to take them.

Feng Jiuling, of course, agreed without hesitation.

After respectfully delivering Ye Guichen into the Sword Heart Land, Wu Yaoguang also did not leave.

Not only did he stay at Wan Jian Villa, but he also intended to discuss with Ye Guichen, and even wanted to follow Ye Guichen.

As for speaking up, Wu Yaoguang hadn’t found the right opportunity yet.

Wei Lin, however, had left early to find Zhu Biao.

After all, Ye Guichen had no significant ties with him, so he naturally didn’t obstruct him.

But before leaving, Wei Lin gave Ye Guichen a deep salute and left a message: "If destiny allows, we will certainly repay your great favor."

Ye Guichen waved his hand, not taking it to heart.

Wei Lin had visited many places within the hidden gates, though he hadn’t been to Chaos Sea, he had a certain understanding of it.

Ye Guichen currently lacked the ability or opportunity to find Chaos Sea, so he wasn’t in a hurry to search for it.

Initially, he thought of having Wei Lin and Zhu Biao guide him, but on second thought, since the location of Chaos Sea requires affinity, and he hadn’t reached the needed opportunity or cultivation level, going there would be seeking death, so he simply shelved the idea.

As for Feng Wuxiu, he woke up the day after Ye Guichen entered the Sword Heart Land.

However, once awake, Feng Wuxiu seemed like a changed person; not only did his temperament radically change, but his body became exceptionally resilient.

Even when attacked with swords and knives, Feng Wuxiu remained unharmed.

Moreover, Feng Wuxiu’s gaze carried a hint of dullness, and unless asked directly, he wouldn’t answer on his own accord.

Regarding Feng Wuxiu’s transformation, Feng Jiuling could only lament that a generation’s Sword Dao genius seemed to have vanished.

Yet, he was unaware that Feng Wuxiu had embarked on an entirely different path of cultivation, with an unlimited future.

Of course, these were not the main focus.

Wan Jian Villa faced two major calamities in succession, all resolved by Ye Guichen’s intervention, earning the utmost respect from everyone at Wan Jian Villa.

Upon learning of Ye Guichen’s intentions, Feng Chuchu locked herself in her room for three days and nights without emerging.

On the fourth day, Feng Chuchu finally emerged.

However, after three days, Feng Chuchu appeared extremely haggard, noticeably thinner.

Seeing his daughter like this, Feng Jiuling felt heartache: "Silly daughter, Mr. Ye is a True Dragon of the heavens, we are mere mortals. Even if we can’t pursue him, having crossed paths is already enough."

Feng Chuchu looked at Feng Jiuling, with unprecedented determination in her eyes: "Father, do you think immortals truly exist in this world?"

Feng Jiuling didn’t understand why Feng Chuchu suddenly asked him this, and after a moment of contemplation, he replied: "I have never seen one, so I don’t know, but I believe immortals do exist in this world. Perhaps, before immortals, we are just like ants."

Feng Chuchu bit her lip: "Brother Chen won’t accept my feelings simply because he believes I hinder his path to immortality. But if I could also become immortal and seek the right path, would he like me then?"

"Ah?" Feng Jiuling was stunned.

Immediately, he let out a bitter laugh.

The path to immortality is not that easy.

Even if Ye Guichen is exceptionally gifted, he is bound to endure hardships, and whether he can ultimately achieve the great path is uncertain.

This daughter of mine may have become obsessed.

Feng Jiuling could only muster a faint smile and offer comfort: "Silly child, the path to immortality is too difficult. Even if we haven’t seen immortals, those who have seen them describe them as coming with no trace and departing with no shadow, with no chance to even meet them. The path to immortality is vast and daunting."

"But then again, if Mr. Ye isn’t fixated on this, given his talent, it’s likely not long before he’ll become a dominant figure within the hidden gates. Such a status, even if not immortal, is a dream chased by countless."

Seemingly feeling mixed emotions, yet resigned.

Feng Chuchu also smiled: "Father, I understand your point, but I’ve already decided. Since Brother Chen doesn’t want to accept my feelings, I will pursue the path to immortality. If one day I can also achieve immortality, Brother Chen won’t reject me."

"Chuchu, what nonsense are you talking!" Feng Jiuling was anxious: "You’re my only daughter, and you want to pursue immortality? Where would you even pursue it?"

"Father, I heard Chaos Sea is the place closest to immortals; crossing Chaos Sea leads you to find immortals, so I want to find Chaos Sea." Feng Chuchu’s gaze was firm.

"Foolishness, sheer foolishness!" Feng Jiuling flicked his hand dismissively: "Chaos Sea is merely a legend, no one has seen it to this day. Moreover, even if the corpse gu came from Chaos Sea, over the years, countless have attempted to find Chaos Sea, yet how many have succeeded?"
