My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1396 - 1324: Cui Xiang Building

"Muge, are you alright now?" Qin Cangqiong’s attitude shifted considerably after realizing Ye Guichen’s value.

If Qin Muge had a good relationship with Ye Guichen, then the Daqian Dynasty would effectively pull in a super strong ally.

This would only have benefits and no drawbacks.

Even if the Pei Yuan Pill wasn’t concocted by Ye Guichen, there might be an Alchemy Master behind him.

Building a good relationship with Ye Guichen would also equate to drawing in that Alchemist.

With countless thoughts racing, Qin Cangqiong’s tone became much gentler.

Qin Muge shook his head: "Father, I’m fine now, I want to go find Brother Ye."

"Alright, go ahead." Qin Cangqiong waved his hand, indicating Qin Muge could leave.

Qin Muge had long been eager to see Ye Guichen, and upon hearing this, quickly got up, albeit his body was still somewhat weak, but he quickly gathered his spirit and staggered out.

After Qin Muge left, Qin Cangqiong’s gaze fell on the State Preceptor and the Overseer: "What do you think?"

The State Preceptor remained silent, but the Overseer spoke up: "No matter what, we must test him. If he’s as formidable as the Second Prince claims, if they can become friends, it would be ideal; but if he’s an enemy, I’m afraid..."

The State Preceptor nodded at these words: "Indeed, we can’t distinguish whether he is a friend or a foe for now. Moreover, this person is aloof and proud, not someone who can be subdued easily. If he has no ties to the Demon Clan or the Barbarian Tribe, we can confidently attempt to pull him in."

Qin Cangqiong agreed: "Then what ideas do you have?"

"The Barbarian Demon Arena." the Overseer and State Preceptor simultaneously suggested.

Qin Cangqiong was taken aback, then a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Good, Overseer, you run over personally and tell Ye Guichen, if he can slay that barbarian, I will bestow the title of King upon him!"

A King, only royal family members could be conferred this title.

Without blood ties, becoming a King in the Daqian Dynasty is as challenging as reaching the heavens.

Of course, individuals like the State Preceptor and Overseer, due to both their formidable skills and powerful cultivation, although not Kings, hold a status that is absolutely not inferior to one.

Indeed, they can even meet Qin Cangqiong without needing to kneel.

The Overseer and State Preceptor understood Qin Cangqiong’s implication; if Ye Guichen could defeat that barbarian, he definitely deserves the title of King.

Otherwise, if he doesn’t kill the barbarian, it would suggest some connection with the Barbarian Demon Clan.

In such a situation, a test would reveal the truth.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The Overseer clasped his hands, turned, and left.

Meanwhile, Qin Muge excitedly found Ye Guichen: "Brother Ye, did you miss me? I heard many masters outside are looking for you, where have you been these past six months?"

Seeing Ye Guichen truly made Qin Muge happy.

The feeling was just short of throwing a heated embrace around Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen was also quite pleased.

Qin Muge had none of that profound demeanour typical of most royals, his affection genuine, calling him Brother Ye from the heart.

Smiling, he replied: "I haven’t done much, just stayed someplace for a while."

"Come, now that you’re here, let me take you on a proper tour of Dragon City, for all the food and fun, haha, just leave it to me." Qin Muge, without waiting for a reply, pulled Ye Guichen outside.

Yang Huai’an initially wanted to follow, but seeing he wasn’t invited, found an excuse and left alone.

Ye Guichen didn’t object, carrying the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf, which had transformed into a small dog, he left with Qin Muge.

Dragon City during the day was much livelier.

Most ordinary people were wholly unaware of the happenings in the inner city, nor knew about the Demon Clan affairs, so to them, not knowing was less to worry about.

The only thing was the recent rampant rumors of the Demon Clan at the borders, a favourite topic for the common folk to discuss over meals.

Qin Muge didn’t wear his royal attire but switched to ordinary clothes, leading Ye Guichen to a place called Cui Xiang Building.

Upon arriving at the entrance, Ye Guichen immediately heard soft, seductive calls of beauties from within.

Without needing to think, this was clearly a place akin to a brothel.

Ye Guichen hadn’t expected Qin Muge to first bring him here, becoming somewhat bewildered: "Muge, as a prince, seeing you frequent here, is it really appropriate?"

"Haha, Brother Ye, people have their desires too, I am a prince but also human. Besides, we’re only here to listen to music, nothing more, what are you worried about." Qin Muge skillfully led Ye Guichen into Cui Xiang Building.

Immediately a slightly elderly woman approached: "Oh, isn’t this Mr. Qin? How about it, here to listen to Miss Huashan’s tunes again?"

The lady looked at Qin Muge, her smile was close to a fluttering chrysanthemum, almost making her plaster herself to Qin Muge.

Qin Muge waved his hand, directly tossing the lady two Spirit Stones: "The usual."

"Alright then." On seeing the Spirit Stones, the madam’s gleeful eyebrows nearly curled into crescents: "Come, allow me to guide you gentlemen."

Clearly, Qin Muge was used to spending generously here, often visiting, hence having a reserved private booth.

Upon reaching the booth, Qin Muge introduced: "Brother Ye, you may not know, but Miss Huashan is a top-notch musical talent, who merely sells her skills, not her body. In all of Dragon City, she’s akin to an Oiran, rarely meeting anyone privately. Though I’m a prince, money’s never an issue, yet no matter how many Spirit Stones I gift, she only comes to offer a toast, sigh, truly she’s untouched by mud!"

Seeing Qin Muge’s infatuated expression, Ye Guichen was momentarily speechless.

This guy is clearly impressed by Miss Huashan’s praises, isn’t he?

"So, you want to sleep with her?" Ye Guichen teased with a grin.

Qin Muge was startled, "Brother Ye, please don’t say that, wanting to sleep with Miss Huashan is disgraceful."

"Huh, just admit it if you want her, stop dressing it up, aren’t you coveting her body?" Ye Guichen smirked.

Qin Muge felt awkward: "Hehe, Brother Ye, although people say so, Miss Huashan doesn’t consider one’s status, only what’s pleasing to the eye. And as far as I know, in all these years at Cui Xiang Building, she’s never met anyone who caught her eye."

While speaking, sounds of a stir emerged outside.

Qin Muge hurriedly peeked through the door.

This look had Qin Muge clapping his hands in excitement: "She’s here, quick look, Miss Huashan is here."

Ye Guichen followed Qin Muge’s gaze, indeed spotting a graceful woman, whose face was covered with a veil, approaching elegantly.

Arriving before a prepared pipa, she slowly sat down: "Thank you all for patronising. I am deeply gratified. I am Huashan, and I extend my gratitude to everyone here."

The voice was mellifluous and pleasing, perfectly matching the physique, truly a woman full of charm.
