Where’d My Delicate Little Wife Go?

After rebirth, Liao Muye didn’t snatch the High Priest’s body, nor was he interested in the treasures on the High Priest’s body, mainly because someone later analyzed that although the things on the High Priest’s body could improve strength, it was not easy to control, and it might even make weaken them.

The High Priest himself is the best proof.

Moreover, in the last life, those exotic beasts competed endlessly, and none of them became very powerful in the end.

Compared to the so-called “treasure” of the High Priest, Liao Muye values this exotic plant more.

He has even gone to see this exotic plant, which looks completely ordinary before it matures.

He thought about picking it back early, but exotic plants often die after being transplanted, so he didn’t dare uproot it.

He didn’t even dare to send someone to guard the exotic plant, for fear that the guard would discover something or accidentally damage it.

Fortunately, the Ghost King who died early did not know about the existence of this exotic plant, only he knew about it.

This exotic plant has never been recorded, and no one knows what will happen after eating it. Therefore, he advised Xie Yunnan not to eat it.

He asked Xie Yunnan to manage Hongye City with his Liao family, and not take risks, but Xie Yunnan still ate it.

In this life… this exotic plant is his!

Liao Muye’s face turned cold after Lu Xiaoran refused.

When he becomes a high-level warrior, what is a Lu Xiaoran!

He also knows the secrets of the many powerful people in the Holy City. Who can awaken to become a priest in the future, and some treasures…

Not to mention these, just recently… He told Meng Yan and Jiao Qinyun information about the Ghost King. After they succeed, how can he lack in rewards!

Liao Muye snorted coldly, turned around, and left.

The people around Lu Xiaoran who came from the Holy City saw Lu Xiaoran reject Liao Muye. At first they wondered if Lu Xiaoran was too cold, but seeing Liao Muye’s reaction…

“Damn, what kind of attitude is this!” Someone was speechless.

Lu Xiaoran said, “He looks down on us.”

“It’s fine if he looks down on us. Why should he look down on you, Brother Lu?” They found it incomprehensible.

Lu Xiaoran didn’t understand either – this Liao Muye is only a fourth-level warrior. He’s a sixth-level warrior!

Although they’re both mid-level warriors, they are very different.

Several people were talking when the phones of the heads of the big families of Hongye City rang.

They ran to pick up the phone.

 

—–

 

After Meng Yan and the others entered the plantation…a lot of people came from nearby and also entered.

Those people are not from their side, that is to say, they are most likely the Ghost King’s people.

The Ghost King has people nearby!

These big families in Hongye City didn’t know Meng Yan’s group’s plan, so they sent people to watch the plantation.

This news came back from their people.

“There are not many ninth-level warriors in this world, and there are even fewer on the rebels’ side… Those ninth-level warriors have eyes above the top, and will definitely not listen to the Ghost King… Even if someone is there as backup, they are definitely not Jiao Qinyun’s opponent.” The head of the Liao family said.

Others felt the same.

Only Liao Muye suddenly froze, thinking of one thing.

Meng Yan and Jiao Qinyun died in Hongye City in their previous life.

What they said to the outside world was that they died at the hands of exotic beasts, but… when they had an accident, the Ghost King was not in Hongye City.

Liao Muye also remembered one thing. That is, in his previous life, many strong men suddenly appeared in Hongye City. These people were not all the subordinates of the Ghost King, but were all against the Holy City.

At that time, these people worked together to clean up those from the Holy City and the Hongye City priest association.

After that, those people cooperated with the big families to resist the exotic beast wave, and let him become the city lord.

But… after he and Xie Yunnan fell out, the Ghost King easily ousted him from the city lord position and made Xie Yunnan the city lord.

Those people…are they the Ghost King’s men?

The Ghost King… Could it be that he had already planned to occupy Hongye City?

In his last life, they made him the city owner. Is it possible that it was just an expedient measure? Just to stabilize the big families?

In the last life, Meng Yan, Jiao Qinyun and the others… Is it possible that the Ghost King deliberately killed them? In this life…

Liao Muye thought it strange before. The Ghost King knew that a group of strong men had come to Hongye City, but didn’t run.

He was reborn, so he should know Meng Yan and their strength.

Breathing deeply, Liao Muye didn’t dare to stay in the banquet hall long, and left in a hurry.

The Ghost King might not win, but he still had to be careful.

After Liao Muye left, the people in the banquet hall continued chatting happily, as if there wasn’t anyone missing.

Lu Xiaoran discovered it, but he didn’t think much.

Everyone was chatting… when they saw Meng Yan, Jiao Qinyun, and the others return.

They looked a little embarrassed, their bodies were more or less stained with mud, and there were bloodstains on several warriors, but not one of them was missing.

Clearly, they won!

“Congratulations!”

“Congratulations on defeating the Ghost King!”

“I’ll send someone to prepare a celebration banquet!”

…

Jiao Qinyun and Meng Yan both turned black when they heard these words.

They don’t need congratulations, they come home with a big defeat!

They were even controlled!

That Ghost King is particularly strong, so strong that even a ninth-level warrior was easily defeated. But what scared them the most is the man with scars all over his face.

All the way back, although the Ghost King’s men followed behind them, they still exchanged information.

Through this exchange of information…they discovered that the man with the burns and scars on his face was able to charm others.

That being the case, that person should be the one controlling them.

At this moment… even if they were extremely reluctant, they still moved their hands towards the people in the banquet hall.

People in the banquet hall: “…” What the hell is going on?

There are also high-level warriors in Hongye City, even if they’re only seventh-level and eighth-level.

Although Meng Yan and the others had just experienced a battle and were injured, defeating these people was too easy.

Especially… since they don’t understand why they’re being attacked, and didn’t dare resist.

“Stop fighting!”

“Two gentlemen, I surrender.”

“What’s the matter?”

…

There was chaos in the banquet hall, but few people resisted.

At this time, the Ghost King walked in with his men.

Outside, the people under the Ghost King’s hands were still worried, afraid that Meng Yan and them would escape their control.

But now…

Everyone is looking at Xie Qing – he can really control the middle-level priests and the ninth-level warrior!

Really too strong!

The people in the banquet hall were dumbfounded.

This… what is going on?

Nothing happened. That is, Meng Yan and the others were captured, and then… attacked them in turn.

The upper floors of Hongye City were wiped out.

In the plantation, Duan Changqing had a headache.

There are too many people under his control. It’s too messy, and taxes his divine sense a bit too much…

But it’s not a loss. The people who are controlled this time are either high-level warriors or priests, each one is stronger than the other.

With these people around, he no longer has to worry about Xie Yunnan’s safety.

Although his current state is better than before, he still needs to take good care and recuperate… After considering it, he wants to go out for a walk in a few days to see if he can find a suitable spiritual plant1re: he calls them spiritual plants (Xuanhuan/cultivation); everyone else calls them exotic plants, thus the difference in naming.

Xie Yunnan was a little worried about the Ghost King and them, so he sent his companion animal to watch. Duan Changqing hugged Xiaobai, who just returned, and gave him a little spiritual power. Xiaobai calmed down and then went to lick Duan Changqing’s face.

Xie Yunnan: “…” Why does Xiaobai like Duan Changqing so much?

However, when he saw Duan Changqing, the anxiety in his heart gradually disappeared…
