Chapter 648: What’s More Important, Your Husband or Your Job?

Chapter 648: Chapter 648: What’s More Important, Your Husband or Your Job?

Cheng Yuan raised his hand and formed a hand seal. At the apex of the golden shield, a golden thundercloud instantly gathered. The golden thundercloud churned without pause, looking as if it could rain down golden light at any moment!

The faces of the ten Ghost Kings changed drastically. They roared in anger, "You bastard! You don’t keep your word!"

Cheng Yuan curled his lip in disdain. "Do I need to keep my word with you? Even if I did and let you go, would you keep your promise not to harm the living?"

The ten Ghost Kings hurriedly declared, "Of course we’d keep our word! Don’t do anything rash!"

Cheng Yuan snorted coldly. "I know better than to trust the words of ghosts. I don’t believe a single thing you say! It’s better to just destroy you!"

Cheng Yuan waved his hand forcefully!

A golden thunderbolt tore through the night sky, and a rain of golden light suddenly began to fall inside the barrier!

The faces of the ten Ghost Kings paled as they quickly ordered their Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals to protect them!

SIZZLE...

The Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals were instantly corroded by the rain of light. Countless transparent holes appeared on their bodies, and they quickly dissipated into the void!

The ten Ghost Kings knew their underlings wouldn’t last long, and a vicious resolve appeared in each of them.

"Since this kid won’t let us live, we’ll have to risk it all!"

"Risk it all! Even if our souls are shattered, we have to drag this kid down with us!"

The ten Ghost Kings suddenly began to madly devour one another, their power skyrocketing!!

Finally, the ten Ghost Kings merged into a terrifying being with ten heads and a height of five meters! Its power was now incredibly close to the level of King Yama or a Judge!

It could absolutely be called a Ghost Emperor!

The Ghost Emperor waved its hand, and an incredibly thick layer of black qi appeared above its heads.

For a short time, the black qi resisted the assault of the golden rain!

But the Ghost Emperor felt no joy, only a heavy weight in its heart. The ten Ghost Kings had been of equal power, and none of them could suppress the other nine.

Soon, their body would explode and they would perish!

’However, this is more than enough time to kill Cheng Yuan!’

"Brat, you actually forced us to this point! You can die too! Heheheh!!"

The Ghost Emperor let out a sinister, terrifying laugh and charged toward Cheng Yuan!

Cheng Yuan wasn’t flustered at all. With a mere thought, the light barrier covering the entire cemetery began to shrink rapidly!

As the barrier contracted, its brightness and durability increased dramatically.

In the blink of an eye, the barrier had shrunk to a thirty-cubic-meter area!

BOOM!

The Ghost Emperor slammed headfirst into the light barrier!

Before the barrier shrank, the Ghost Emperor might have been able to shatter it with its power and kill Cheng Yuan.

But now, the barrier’s density and power had been greatly enhanced!

Even the Ghost Emperor couldn’t withstand the assault of the golden motes of light!

SIZZLE...

Large patches of light appeared on the Ghost Emperor’s body. Under their corrosion, thick smoke billowed from its form, releasing a pungent stench!

The Ghost Emperor was about to die from sheer hatred for Cheng Yuan. It roared, "Shameless! You shameless brat! If you have the guts, fight me head-on!"

Cheng Yuan couldn’t be bothered with a war of words. He snorted coldly, formed a hand seal, and the barrier continued to shrink!

Soon, the barrier had shrunk to the size of the Ghost Emperor’s body!

And yet, it kept shrinking!

SIZZLE!~

Thick smoke poured from all over the Ghost Emperor’s body!

"AHHH!!!"

The Ghost Emperor let out a bloodcurdling scream as it was gradually reduced to ash by the ever-shrinking barrier!

Finally, the barrier became a pillar of light less than a millimeter in diameter and dissipated into the void.

Cheng Yuan once again raised his hand and formed a seal. The Jade Marrow Magical Artifact buried in the ground shot out, transforming into a streak of light that landed in his palm.

With a thought, Cheng Yuan stored the Magical Artifact in his Jade Pendant Space.

Tang Sihai and Tang Jian Countguo were completely dumbfounded!

In their eyes, the Cheng Yuan of this moment was undoubtedly a god-like being!

The two of them prostrated themselves before Cheng Yuan in worship.

"This humble one greets Immortal Cheng!!"

Cheng Yuan was speechless. He quickly helped them up and said gently, "Don’t call me that. I’m not an Immortal, just a regular person."

Their expressions were extremely serious. "In our eyes, Immortal Cheng is an Immortal!"

Cheng Yuan was exasperated and couldn’t be bothered to correct them further. "Think whatever you want! Since the Tang Family’s trouble is resolved, I will take my leave!"

"We respectfully send off Immortal Cheng!!"

With a flicker, Cheng Yuan vanished from before their eyes. This move only served to confirm their judgment: Cheng Dongshan was truly an Immortal!

Cheng Yuan sprinted all the way to the city, hailed a cab, and went straight to the high-speed rail station, where he bought a ticket back to the Provincial City for that night.

For one, he wanted to avoid Shen Man. He really didn’t want any more messy romantic entanglements.

And for two, he missed his wife.

Ever since they got married, he had never really spent much quality time with her, always running from one place to another. Luckily, she was a workaholic; otherwise, she would have complained long ago.

At three in the morning, Cheng Yuan arrived at Yuanxi Pharmaceutical.

Cheng Yuan tiptoed back to the executive dorm and found Lin Ruoxi sleeping soundly. He didn’t disturb her.

After taking a shower, Cheng Yuan lay down quietly on the sofa.

The sky gradually began to brighten.

Cheng Yuan slowly opened his eyes, activated his Double Pupil, and absorbed the first wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi as the sun rose.

Despite sleeping for only two or three hours, Cheng Yuan was full of energy.

Cheng Yuan quickly washed up, went to the kitchen, and prepared a lavish breakfast for his wife.

A rustling sound came from the bedroom. Cheng Yuan knew his wife was awake.

Cheng Yuan didn’t make a sound, planning to give her a surprise.

Lin Ruoxi had no idea Cheng Yuan was home. She groggily went into the bathroom, washed up a bit, and didn’t even bother with makeup.

’My husband isn’t home, who am I putting on makeup for?’

With her eyes still hazy with sleep, Lin Ruoxi ambled toward the kitchen, planning to whip up something simple to eat.

But, as she walked...

Lin Ruoxi suddenly caught a whiff of an enticing aroma!

Before Lin Ruoxi could figure out what was going on, someone suddenly hugged her from behind!

Lin Ruoxi jumped in fright, but she quickly recognized the familiar touch and familiar scent.

A delighted expression appeared on her face. "Honey, you’re back?"

Cheng Yuan turned her around and gazed at her delicate, flawless face.

She wasn’t wearing any makeup, but she was so beautiful it made his heart tremble!

"Honey, you’re so beautiful!~"

Lin Ruoxi shot Cheng Yuan a playful glare. "Don’t lie to me. If I were really that beautiful, would you be running off all the time? Last time, you left without even saying goodbye."

Cheng Yuan quickly explained, "Honey, I wanted to tell you, but you were in a meeting, so I could only send you a text..."

Lin Ruoxi smiled. "Alright, alright, don’t be so nervous. I’m not the clingy type. As long as you give me work to do, it doesn’t matter if you’re here or not."

Cheng Yuan instantly took ten thousand points of critical damage. He gave her a domineering kiss, not letting her go until she was almost breathless! He finally pulled away!

With a dissatisfied look, Cheng Yuan asked, "Honey, think carefully. In your heart, who’s more important: your husband or your work?"
