My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 299 - 298: King Bear

Gao Fei flipped his wrist, and a large hammer appeared in his palm. He swung it lightly, hitting Miao Zheng's weapon squarely.

"Crack!"

The weapon broke, and Miao Zheng was sent flying by a tremendous force.

"Bang!"

After tumbling through the air several times, Miao Zheng slammed heavily onto the ground, opened his mouth, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion turning deathly pale.

Gao Fei walked over with the hammer in hand, "I told you, you are no match for me."

"That hammer in your hand is... a Treasure... and moreover, a Middle Rank Treasure..." Miao Zheng said with a face of terror, his voice trembling, "How could you have a Treasure... How could you... Did the Sect Leader give it to you?" He also possessed Treasures, two in total, gifted by Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng.

Due to the lack of time, he hadn't had the opportunity to refine them, so he couldn't control the two Treasures now...

But then again, even if Miao Zheng could control the two Treasures, he wouldn't be a match for Gao Fei, who had just understood the two transformations of the Heavenly Demon. Once performed, they could double his strength, and with the power of the Treasure... killing Miao Zheng would be an easy task.

"You guessed wrong," Gao Fei shook his head. "This hammer isn't from the Sect Leader."

"Not from the Sect Leader?" Miao Zheng didn't believe it, "Stop lying to me, no one but the Sect Leader would give you a Treasure."

"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth," Gao Fei raised the hammer and said in a cold tone, "In your next life, don't ever cross me again." The hammer descended toward Miao Zheng's head, slicing through the air with a piercing shriek. This hammer, gathering all of Gao Fei's strength, would spell certain death for Miao Zheng if it hit.

"Wait!"

Miao Zheng shouted loudly, "I have more to say! I have something to say!!!"

"Whoosh!"

The hammer stopped mid-air, and Gao Fei looked impassively at Miao Zheng, "What last words do you want to say?"

"In fact, there's no real hatred between us. The reason I wanted to kill you was under the orders of Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng... I regret it now. Please give me a chance to change... I swear I will never trouble you again..." Miao Zheng caved in.

"Isn't it too late to say these things now?"

"Not late, not at all! There's a saying: 'A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold.' 'To recognize one's mistakes and change for the better is a great virtue!' 'Lay down the butcher knife to become a Buddha on the spot!' I've realized my mistake, I was blind, inhuman, a beast... Please, spare me, I beg of you."

"If the victor were you, would you spare me?"

"I would, I would spare you!"

"Your skin is really thick!"

"I truly realize my mistake, really! I had no other choice. Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng came to me, asked me to kill you, and I dared not refuse. They are high-ranking elders, and I'm just a lowly disciple, I dare not offend them."

"Have you said enough?"

"Gao Fei... Brother Gao, Grand Elder Gao... Ancestor Gao... If I call you an Ancestor, will that do? Please show mercy and let me off."

Gao Fei shook his head, "That's impossible. I am clear-cut with grudges and grievances. I protect friends with utmost care, and I eliminate enemies without a trace of hesitation." With that, he raised the hammer again, "I'm going to send you on your way right now."

"No, don't kill me... I don't want to die... I don't want to die... Please, spare me... I beg you..."

"Gao Fei, are you really determined to show no mercy?"

Seeing that pleading was futile, Miao Zheng started to threaten, "I'm an Elite Disciple, if you kill me, the Sect Leader will not let you off!"

Gao Fei remained unswayed.

"Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng won't let you off either!!!" Miao Zheng bellowed.

"One last thing: I won't let Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng off! They'll soon be joining you in the Underworld!"

The hammer came crashing down on Miao Zheng's head.

"No!!!!"

Miao Zheng's screams tore through the air...

"Splatter!"

His brains burst out, and his screaming abruptly stopped. Miao Zheng lay on the ground rigid, twitching twice before going still.

Strictly speaking, Miao Zheng could be considered remarkable, with potential for great achievements in the future. It's regrettable that... his jealousy was too strong, and he couldn't tolerate Gao Fei. Seduced by Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng to harm Gao Fei, he ended up being killed by him instead. This is probably what people mean by getting one's just desserts.

Heaven's misdeeds are forgivable, but one's own are beyond redemption.

Gao Fei plundered everything from Miao Zheng's body, then dug a hole and buried him. After cleaning up the scene, he left without looking back.

...

Deep in Beast King Valley.

Inside a cave.

The giant bear lay on the bed, snoring heavily.

"My King!" A mouse entered and called out softly, "My King…"

"Hmm?" The giant bear opened his eyes and glanced at the mouse, "What is it?"

"There are still some human cultivators lingering in Beast King Valley, using ruthless methods to extract the inner cores from ferocious beasts," the mouse said indignantly. "It's inhumane! Despicable!"

"Fools courting death," the giant bear growled upon hearing this: "I had intended to spare them, but they don't appreciate it and are asking for their demise."

"My King..."

"It's been a long time since I've killed," said the giant bear as he stood up and stretched his arms and legs, then twisted his neck, "I'm getting itchy hands!"

The mouse was stunned. "Does my King intend to take matters into your own hands?"

"Yes," the giant bear nodded. "Kill all the human cultivators outside, chop them up, and boil them into soup." The giant bear got to his feet and walked toward the exit.

"My King, please think this through," the mouse advised. "If human cultivators of higher rank learn of your existence, they will surely join forces to kill you. Then you will be in danger." The human cultivators treat Beast King Valley as a training ground for their disciples. They will never allow Golden Core Stage ferocious beasts to exist in the valley. If one appears, they will kill it.

If a pair appears, they will kill them both.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine," the giant bear said dismissively.

"My King..." the mouse still wished to persuade him.

"My mind is made up, don't try to persuade me further," the giant bear said decisively, waving his hand.

Seeing the giant bear's firm attitude, the mouse had to close its mouth, no longer trying to persuade him.

...

"Finally done," Gao Fei stood up, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "That was exhausting."

Around him were the carcasses of hundreds of ferocious beasts. Without exception, each beast's belly had been cut open, and their inner cores had all been extracted by Gao Fei.

"Should be thousands now, right?" Gao Fei murmured to himself. "Securing the first place shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Tap tap tap…"

Heavy and forceful footsteps were heard in the distance.

"Huh?" Gao Fei raised his head, and his breath hitched at the sight: "What a huge bear!" A massive bear was approaching, burly and with large paws, its mouth gaping open to reveal sharp teeth, looking frightening. Gao Fei had never seen such a large bear in his life.

Being so big, it must be close to becoming a spirit, right?

"Eh? I've encountered a human already!" The bear spoke: "Bad luck for you, kid."

"It can talk?" Gao Fei twitched his face fiercely: "It really has become a spirit!" Gao Fei stepped back a few paces, warily watching the bear. He inwardly began cursing; weren't they saying that there were no Golden Core Stage ferocious beasts in Beast King Valley? How did one suddenly appear?

"Do you know who I am!" The bear patted his chest and said, "I am the king of Beast King Valley. All ferocious beasts obey my command! I've given myself a name, it's Bear King! How about that, sounds impressive, doesn't it? Ha ha…" After speaking, Bear King bared his teeth and broke into loud laughter.

Gao Fei watched Bear King with an icy look, saying nothing.

"You've just experienced a beast surge, haven't you? You must be wondering why so many ferocious beasts, natural enemies of each other, could gather together calmly… Know why? Because I issued the order, commanding them to marshal together and attack you," Bear King laughed heartily.

A look of realization appeared on Gao Fei's face; so that was how the beast surge formed.

"Initially, I planned to drive you all out and slaughter you, but then a mouse suggested to me not to kill everyone. If you all died, it would definitely alert stronger human cultivators, who would come to investigate in Beast King Valley. Worse, they might discover my existence, which would then put me in danger...

After careful consideration, I decided to spare you… But what I didn't expect was that you were too greedy. After the beast surge, you didn't leave but stayed behind to extract inner cores… Your actions have completely enraged me. I want to make an example of you, to show that Beast King Valley is not a place you can come and go as you please."

"To be honest, I was surprised when you appeared," Gao Fei said slowly. "Someone told me that there are no ferocious beasts above the Golden Core Stage in Beast King Valley. I believed them, so I came here. But now, I've found out... I was deceived…"

"I've just recently broken through," Bear King said. "You're just unlucky, arriving in Beast King Valley after my breakthrough. If you had come a few months earlier, nothing would have happened. A few months ago, I was still at the Inedia Stage of cultivation."

Gao Fei shook his head. "You got it backwards! It's not my bad luck, it's yours."

"My bad luck? Are you out of your mind?" said the bear.

"If you were lucky, you wouldn't have run into me."

"What do you mean?"

"Because I'm going to kill you," Gao Fei shrugged.

"Ha ha ha…" Bear King laughed uproariously, his laughter thunderous: "That's hilarious! This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! Now I'm rather reluctant to kill you, keeping you around to crack jokes and amuse me might be better."

"Funny?" Gao Fei curled his lip. "You won't be laughing soon."

"Why won't I be able to laugh?"

"Because you will soon realize... I'm not joking! You are not my match; I can truly kill you."

"Ha ha ha… Ridiculous, truly ridiculous... I am at the Golden Core Realm Cultivation, and you are at the Inedia Stage. You think you can kill me?"

"You can try and see," Gao Fei said as he took a large hammer from his storage ring, and his aura suddenly shifted.
