My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1827: Breakthrough

After absorbing a strand of spiritual power released from the Ancestor Statue, Long Qie instantly experienced a breakthrough.

His howling echoed throughout the entire Sky Net Base.

Everyone was alarmed, and their eyes turned in surprise towards the direction of Long Qie’s office, feeling extremely shocked inside.

"That’s the voice of the Prairie King!"

"Such strong momentum! Has the Prairie King encountered something?"

"This aura is stronger than the previous Prairie King. If I’m not mistaken, the Prairie King must have broken through!"

"The Prairie King has broken through? Doesn’t that mean he’s now reached the middle-stage Martial Saint Realm?"

As everyone discussed, mentioning the four words ’middle-stage Martial Saint Realm’, a trace of envy flashed in everyone’s eyes. After all, for many people, they may spend their entire lives unable to reach even the Grandmaster Realm, let alone the Saint Realm above it.

For many in this world, the Martial Saint Realm is an aspiration that is out of reach.

Xiao Zheng was also surprised at this moment, but soon a genuine joy appeared on his face. Long Qie’s breakthrough was good news for him too.

Once the howling subsided, Long Qie first closed his eyes to feel the surging power filling his body, then opened his eyes and said excitedly, "Mr. Xiao! You just saw me! I actually really broke through!"

"What was that black energy just now? It’s unbelievably magical?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng showed the Ancestor Statue he held in his hand and said, "That black energy just now was actually a strand of soul energy. Thanks to this statue, otherwise, even if I wanted to help you breakthrough, it would take some effort and time..."

He then revealed the origin of the Ancestor Statue.

Upon learning that the statue sealed the soul energy of a Supreme Realm expert, Long Qie was suddenly very shocked: "I actually absorbed a strand of a Supreme Realm expert’s soul energy just now; no wonder my realm suddenly broke through!"

"Mr. Xiao, this is truly too..."

Looking at Xiao Zheng, for a moment, Long Qie didn’t know what to say, his heart filled with gratitude.

Long Qie wasn’t someone who couldn’t recognize value. He knew very well how precious the Ancestor Statue was, undoubtedly a priceless treasure. Especially the soul energy stored within it was extremely valuable.

Yet Xiao Zheng was willing to share the Ancestor Statue without hesitation, which made Long Qie deeply moved.

Xiao Zheng appeared indifferent, saying, "Given our relationship, you don’t need to say any more polite words. Sky Net has developed to such a scale, and your contribution has definitely played a part."

"Once Titan and the others return, I’ll help them break through one by one too."

"Mr. Xiao, but if you use the soul energy on us, what about you?" Long Qie said, "This treasure, you should keep it for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "I’ve already entered the Half-step Supreme realm. The soul energy sealed in the Ancestor Statue doesn’t have much effect on me anymore."

"Rather than wasting it on me, it’s better to leave it for you all."

Seeing he wasn’t lying, Long Qie finally didn’t continue to dwell on this matter.

Xiao Zheng re-hung the statue around his neck and then said, "Let’s leave it at that for now. My wife is waiting at home for me to have dinner. Pay close attention to the matters concerning the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect."

"During this upcoming period, the infighting within the Demon Alliance will indisputably become more intense. The Heavenly Evil Demon Sect will definitely reveal their true colors, and you must always monitor their every move and report to me."

Long Qie nodded and said, "Don’t worry, leave it to me."

After receiving his assurance, Xiao Zheng left the Sky Net headquarters satisfied.

By the time he got home, the sky had already turned dark.

It was uncertain if it was a coincidence or if Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran were deliberately waiting for him to return home. Regardless, as soon as Xiao Zheng walked in the door, he saw that Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran just finished cooking.

"Tonight’s feast is really lavish, you’ve even cooked six dishes and a soup?"

"I remember today isn’t your birthday, is it some festival?"

Xiao Zheng joked as he walked towards the two women.

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoran gave him a sideways glance and then said, "Even if it’s not a birthday or festival, can’t we enjoy a good meal together? All the dishes today are made by my cousin and me."

"If you dare say it doesn’t taste good later, we’ll never cook for you again!"

Upon hearing her threat, Xiao Zheng was shocked a bit and pretended to be displeased, "Look at what you said, both of you are so talented, beautiful inside and out, perfect homemakers."

"I absolutely trust your cooking skills, today I promise a clean plate movement!"

"Humph! That’s more like it!" Chu Xiaoran finally showed a satisfied smile and said, "Then go wash your hands and sit down to eat."

Xiao Zheng responded eagerly and went to wash his hands.

Actually, both Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran’s cooking skills were quite good, not as mediocre as Chu Xiaoran had suggested. Xiao Zheng also kept his promise, wiping his plate clean. He even finished the entire bowl of chicken soup without leaving a drop.

After dinner, the three of them went to the sofa to rest.

They chatted about trivial topics, creating a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere. Xiao Zheng enjoyed this ambiance, as it was only when he was with them that he felt the beauty of life.

As they chatted, Chu Xiaoran glanced at her wristwatch and hurriedly said, "Oh no, it’s already past nine! No way! I have to head to a film crew tomorrow, I’d better get to bed early!"

"Is your company working on a new movie again? What’s the theme?" Xiao Zheng’s eyes lit up as he asked, "Who’s the leading actress? How does she look...?"

Before he could finish his words, Leng Ruobing’s hand quietly pinched the soft flesh at his waist.

Chu Xiaoran also glared at him and said, "What does the leading actress’s appearance have to do with you? You should honestly stay home and keep my cousin company."

"Enough talk, I really need to go back to my room and rest. If I’m late tomorrow, our manager will surely deduct my pay."

After saying that, she hurriedly left the living room.

Xiao Zheng watched her back, a smile unwittingly appeared on his face.
