My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1800: Ancestor Statue

Legus is dead.

His head was stomped into a pulpy mess by Xiao Zheng’s foot.

The scattered red and white matter was enough to make even the Blood Clan experts, who lived off blood food, feel nauseous and queasy at the sight. Of course, the predominant emotion among them now was fear.

Fear of Xiao Zheng’s power, fear of Xiao Zheng’s brutality...

The remaining eight Blood Clan experts were stunned by Xiao Zheng’s decisiveness, which was far beyond their expectations. Moreover, contrary to their assumptions, the Ancestor Statue had no influence on the battle.

"What do we do now?"

"Escape?"

"Where to? How?"

"I don’t know..."

After ending their brief conversation, the Blood Clan experts were filled with despair. If Legus were still alive, they might have recklessly rushed forward to fight him.

Previously coaxed into joining forces against Xiao Zheng, now they realized they were nothing in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.

They exchanged glances and saw tears in each other’s eyes.

After wiping the blood off his shoe on Legus’ corpse, Xiao Zheng looked up at the remaining eight people: "I told you, it would be your turn soon. See? I wasn’t lying, was I?"

Seeing the smile on his face, all eight involuntarily shivered.

Noticing this, Xiao Zheng’s expression changed and he said, displeased: "What do you mean by that? What do you take me for? Do you really think I’m a villain who kills without remorse? I’m actually a good person!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." The eight felt wronged but could only flatter and agree with him.

"Don’t worry, I’m not going to kill you." Xiao Zheng said, "I told you, I’m a good person. Killing is illegal; I can’t do such things."

"You guys, just choose to end your own lives."

The first part of his message made the eight feel thrilled, but the next moment sank their hearts.

Suicide?

Are you joking?

Feeling deeply humiliated, they didn’t know what to say for a moment.

"Why haven’t you acted yet?" Xiao Zheng’s gaze grew cold, "Do you dare look down on me? Disregard my words?"

I’m furious!

Finally, one of the Blood Clan experts couldn’t take it, yelled in frustration, and directly attacked Xiao Zheng!

He wasn’t unskilled either, comparable to a first-class master.

However, before he could reach Xiao Zheng, a stream of invisible Gang Qi had already sliced his body into two: "You forced me to do this; I told you I’m really a good person."

"Anyone else wanting to follow his example? If so, stand up now."

Xiao Zheng’s gaze swept over the remaining seven, causing a chill to rise in their hearts.

Someone shouted to run, and the seven scrambled to escape the dungeon, punching without caring if they hit walls or companions!

Some were hurt by friendly fire, while others began to retaliate...

The scene spiraled into chaos, transforming from mere escape into a brawl!

Ten minutes later, the battle calmed.

These seven had all died at the hands of their own peers.

Seeing this, even Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion. Human nature is indeed the most complex thing; in the face of life and death, even companions can be abandoned.

Shaking his head, he prepared to leave the secret chamber with Catherine in his arms.

But before moving too far, he turned back.

Xiao Zheng tugged the necklace holding the Ancestor Statue from Legus’ hand. He sensed the statue was valuable, containing a dormant soul that might help him in the future.

And so, Xiao Zheng left Xide Valley with Catherine.

Reaching the main road, he found his car still parked by the roadside.

"Parking in these small places is definitely more comfortable."

"I’ve been parked for almost three hours without anyone issuing a ticket."

With a chuckle, Xiao Zheng tossed Catherine into the backseat and drove the Maserati slowly towards town. Having rescued Catherine, he was in a very good mood.

Playing music from the speaker, he nearly wanted to race the car in celebration.

Soon, the car parked at the town lodge.

Upon entering with Catherine, the commotion startled the sleeping innkeeper on the ground floor. Groggy, the innkeeper grabbed his shotgun and rushed out, pausing upon recognizing Xiao Zheng.

Seeing Catherine in his arms, the innkeeper showed an expression of admiration.

Giving Xiao Zheng a thumbs up, the innkeeper offered an ambiguous smile any man could understand. Xiao Zheng didn’t bother to explain, simply bringing Catherine back to his room.

"When she wakes tomorrow, I absolutely have to make her start losing weight."

Complaining, Xiao Zheng tossed Catherine onto the bed.

Watching her snowy peaks shake, he shook his head, muttering "enchantress" under his breath. Aside from Mo Anna, Catherine was the woman who most embodied the word "temptation."

A natural beauty indeed refers to her.

Fortunately, Xiao Zheng didn’t plan to take advantage of her, lying down on the nearby sofa instead. Preparing to rest his eyes for a while; there was nothing else to do in the middle of the night.

Feeling drowsy, Xiao Zheng drifted to sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he found dawn had arrived outside.

Yet to his surprise, Catherine was still asleep, leaving him feeling amused. Could the aftereffects of the Soft Muscle Powder really be sleepiness? But this was a bit much, wasn’t it?

Shaking his head, he roughly shook her awake.

"Earthquake!"

Catherine shouted, abruptly sitting up in bed.

But upon seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, a touch of confusion clouded her eyes.

Unable to hold back, Xiao Zheng burst out laughing beside her.

His laughter finally woke Catherine from her daze.

Turning to Xiao Zheng, her gaze was complex, containing surprise, gratitude, and indescribable feelings...

But she quickly pushed aside these emotions.

Catherine screamed, plunging into Xiao Zheng’s embrace. Caught off-guard, he toppled backward, chair and all, onto the floor.

Perfect timing, the innkeeper entered with breakfast.

Upon witnessing this scene, his face displayed the same ambiguous smile as last night...
