What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 1274

All living beings wear many faces.

Some congratulations were genuine; some were false.

Because there was always that small handful of demons who couldn’t stand to see their own kind doing well.

Take the eldest Ye Gongqiang and the fourth Ye Song and fifth Ye Man, for example.

Cultivating Savage Bear Technique 2.0 had boosted all three of them markedly.

But seeing Ye Xiang riding high left them extremely displeased.

A clan’s long-time doormat suddenly turning into a prize?

Unbearable.

“So what if his son accidentally cobbled together a manual? What’s the big deal?”

Ye Song and Ye Man gossiped behind Ye Xiang’s back more than a little.

Ye Gongqiang didn’t voice an opinion, but the gloom in his eyes only deepened.

As the eldest of the family and a city guard of Jianyao City,

Ye Gongqiang had always been the model the brothers learned from, and he cut quite a figure outside.

The way his brothers looked at him had always held just one word: admiration.

All of that had changed two years ago.

Now they all clustered around Ye Xiang, not even sparing their usual big brother a glance.

For the prideful Ye Gongqiang, it was a humiliation.

“I will not allow anyone in this family to steal more limelight than me.”

That was Ye Gongqiang’s life motto.

Yet before he could think up a way to suppress Ye Xiang,

the new City Lord of Jianyao City summoned him.

The reason was simple: Ye Gongqiang’s power had risen too quickly of late—too conspicuous to ignore.

So he was called in to explain.

Ye Gongqiang was delighted and immediately produced the Savage Bear Technique 2.0 manual.

He said it was a refinement by his own nephew—“a little qilin genius of our house!”

The new City Lord glanced over the manual and instantly discerned it was Heaven-tier.

“To raise a mere Mortal-tier manual to Heaven-tier—your nephew is a talent. Since he’s a talent, why tell me? Do you not know my favorite pastime is eating geniuses?”

Ye Gongqiang replied at once that, in his heart, the City Lord mattered more than family; for the City Lord he was willing to give everything.

Hearing this, the new City Lord was very pleased, and promised that if Ye Gongqiang brought the nephew in, he would seat him as Commander of the City Guard and grant him manuals and immortal pills.

Ye Gongqiang was overjoyed.

Rich as the reward was, what he wanted even more was to see Ye Xiang thrown back to the bottom.

Trash belongs under others’ feet—that’s the best place for it.

Leaving the City Lord’s manor, Ye Gongqiang immediately contacted his brothers Ye Song and Ye Man,

told them the City Lord wanted Ye Yu,

and promised that once he became Guard Commander, he’d open the back door for them to join the Jianyao City Guard as well.

Ye Man and Ye Song agreed on the spot.

That very day, the three began writing to Ye Xiang, inviting him to bring his wife to Jianyao City for a few days of fun.

At their brothers’ invitation, Ye Xiang and Xiao Wen didn’t refuse.

They never expected it to be a trap.

Once they arrived, Ye Gongqiang locked them up, tortured them, and ordered them to lure Ye Yu over.

But the couple were both iron-willed.

“They can kill us, but we will never let Ye Yu fall into danger.”

And so the scene just now had come to pass.

After reading through Ye Gongqiang’s memories, Ye Yu couldn’t help but sigh.

Cough, cough, cough!
