My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 318 - 315: Victory Lies Ahead

A moment later.

Gao Fei, the rhino, and the monkey arrived at the base of the volcano, stepping on rocks that emitted a burnt odor.

There was a large pit in the center, charred throughout, with several deep cracks in the bottom, bottomless.

After carefully searching, Gao Fei found no trace of flames.

"You two help me look around and see if there's any fire here," Gao Fei commanded.

"Fire?" the rhino paused in confusion, "This is an extinct volcano, where would there be any fire?"

"Exactly," agreed the monkey with a nod, "There hasn't been fire here for many years."

"If I ask you to look, you look. Where's all this nonsense coming from," Gao Fei snorted, "Hurry up and search!"

Under Gao Fei's coercion, the rhino and monkey could only start searching for the long-extinct flames.

Gao Fei wasn't idle either, bending over and searching inch by inch.

...

"Eh? There's a small flame here," the rhino's shout came from afar.

"Swoosh!" Gao Fei quickly ran over, "Where? Where is it? Where's the flame?"

"Right under my feet," the rhino shook the single horn on its nose, "A very small flame, flickering weakly, about to go out at any moment."

"Let me see," Gao Fei bent down for a closer look, and indeed, he saw a wisp of flame hiding in a crack in the rock, almost unnoticeable due to its size, "This flame is really small."

"This is no ordinary flame," Xuan Jizi's voice echoed in his mind, "Gao Fei, you are too lucky, I am a bit envious of you."

Gao Fei blinked and inquired with his mental power, "What do you mean? I don't understand!"

"A small flame, surviving at the sealed bottom of the mountain, what does that tell you?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means this little flame is not ordinary."

"Not ordinary?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that flame should be... Fire Essence."

"Fire Essence? What's that?"

"Ordinary flames contain many impurities, but once these impurities are completely removed, it becomes Fire Essence. Simply put, it's an extremely pure flame, without a trace of impurity. Does that make sense to you now?"

Gao Fei nodded, "I sort of get it."

"Fire Essence is an excellent material for refining Fire Attribute Treasures. An ordinary Fire Attribute Treasure can become a precious one with the addition of Fire Essence," Xuan Jizi patiently explained.

"That powerful?" Gao Fei mused in amazement.

"You're such a lucky guy, even encountering Fire Essence," Xuan Jizi said, "With Fire Essence, the poison in your body can be cured."

"I'll collect the Fire Essence right now," Gao Fei formed a spell with his fingers, and muttered incantations, casting the Fire Control Technique.

"Swoosh!"

The unstable little flame darted out from the crack and then transformed into a beam of light that flew into Gao Fei's body.

"Uh!"

Gao Fei grunted, his face instantly flushing red as the small flame rampaged through his body like a wild horse without reins, causing Gao Fei unspeakable agony. With a calm and steady mind, he channeled his True Qi to suppress the small flame.

Once, twice, thrice...

After dozens of struggles, the small flame was finally subdued.

"Phew..."

Gao Fei gently exhaled a breath, my goodness, that was exhausting.

"The little flame entered your body?" the rhino asked, blinking its large eyes.

"Yes," Gao Fei nodded.

"How do you feel?" the rhino stared at Gao Fei intently.

"Feels great! It's like I've eaten a Ginseng Fruit, so refreshing!" Gao Fei spread his arms wide, performing a chest-expanding gesture, "Really amazing!"

"What is a Ginseng Fruit?" inquired the monkey standing to the side.

"A very magical fruit, a fruit that can prolong one's life, a fruit with an extremely delicious taste..."

"Is there really such a wonderful fruit in the world?" The monkey drooled with desire.

"Look at you, drooling like that." Gao Fei said with disdain, "Ginseng fruit is the most extraordinary fruit in the world; it went extinct many years ago, so you won't be able to taste it in your lifetime."

"Extinct, huh." Disappointment showed on the monkey's face.

"Alright, that's it. We can leave now." Gao Fei leaped up, stepping on the stone walls toward the exit.

The monkey and the rhinoceros glanced at each other, then followed silently.

...

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh swoosh!"

A man and two beasts flew out of the volcano and then stood steadily on the ground.

The sky was so blue, the clouds were so white, and the breeze caressed their faces, indescribably dashing and pleasant.

Gao Fei raised his head and took a deep breath, showing a blissful expression: "The air is indeed fresher outside."

"Cough cough..." The monkey coughed: "So... we've done everything you asked... Can we leave now...?"

"Wait a bit longer." Gao Fei waved his hand: "After I leave Beast King Valley, I will naturally let you go."

"When will you leave?"

"I'll leave when it's time to go."

"You..."

"Let's go, let's leave this place." Gao Fei turned and sat on the rhinoceros's back, patting its neck: "Let's go, down the mountain."

The rhinoceros, with a stern face, began to walk down the mountain with all four hooves.

The monkey bounded and hopped along behind.

"Where to?" The rhinoceros asked in a deep voice.

"Pansi Cave." Gao Fei found it uncomfortable to sit, so he simply lay down, hands behind his head, legs crossed, and hummed a tune leisurely and contentedly.

Carrying Gao Fei on his back, the rhinoceros ran wildly all the way to Pansi Cave after several days.

"You two go and rest." Gao Fei waved his hand: "Remember, without my order, you're not allowed to step half a foot out of the cave." Once the rhinoceros and the monkey had left, Gao Fei sat cross-legged on the bed, wrapped the Fire Essence in True Qi, burning the poisonous gas as he went.

"Sizzle..."

The poison gas made a piercing noise when it was burned by the Fire Essence.

"It really works!" Gao Fei's face lit up with joy.

"Don't get distracted." The voice of Xuan Jizi echoed in his mind: "The poison gas has already seeped into your internal organs. While the Fire Essence burns the poison, your internal organs will also be damaged. Remember, no matter how painful it gets, you must grit your teeth and persist, you absolutely cannot give up halfway."

"I understand." Gao Fei nodded: "As long as the poison is cleared, no matter how much suffering, I won't back down."

For the following period, Gao Fei was wholly focused on burning the poison gas.

Soon, Gao Fei's face changed, a dense layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Pain!

Such Pain!

Indescribable agony!

As the Fire Essence burned the poison gas, it also scorched his inner organs, a pain... simply unbearable for a human.

Gao Fei bit his teeth tightly, enduring the pain.

Hold on!

Must hold on!

To persevere is to conquer!

Cannot retreat!

Victory lies ahead!!!
