My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 322 - 319 Wooden Man

```

At the bottom of the cliff.

It was all bones, human bones and animal bones alike, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Is this the Myriad Bone Cave?" Dongfang Jian muttered to himself, "As expected, bones are everywhere."

Ugh!

Dongfang Jian shivered, "So cold, the temperature seems to be dropping." In a short time, Dongfang Jian's hands had frozen stiff, his complexion turned pale, and his body shook uncontrollably, "Too cold, I need to find somewhere to warm up quickly."

While rubbing his hands vigorously, Dongfang Jian ran ahead. His feet stepped on the white bones, making a "crack crack crack" sound, and with each step, several bones were crushed beneath his feet.

"Pu-chi!"

A sharp bone pierced through Dongfang Jian's shoe and then through the sole of his foot, blood spurting out instantly.

Dongfang Jian groaned in pain and then continued to run with a limp.

"Thump!"

Dongfang Jian slipped, fell to the ground, and a bone cut through the left side of his face, causing blood to flow unceasingly. Wounds of varying degrees appeared on his hands and feet, "So cold! So very cold!" Dongfang Jian struggled several times but couldn't manage to get up.

The temperature kept dropping, and Dongfang Jian felt he was about to freeze to death.

His hands and feet had lost all feeling, and his consciousness began to blur...

So sleepy!

So desperately wanting to sleep!

Can't sleep! Dongfang Jian shook his head vigorously to keep himself awake because if he fell asleep now, he would never wake up again.

"Myriad Bone Cave... what a Myriad Bone Cave... everyone who enters here... will be frozen to death alive..." Dongfang Jian said with quivering lips.

"Niu Zhengwang! How cruel and ruthless you are!"

"You want to freeze me to death, but I won't let it be as you wish!"

"I must live and get out!"

...

Endure!

Just endure it!

You must endure!

Whatever you do, don't fall asleep!

The body already frozen stiff, the body temperature dropping lower and lower, consciousness growing more and more dim.

When he was barely able to hang on, Dongfang Jian would touch his face to the bones on the ground; the sharp edges cutting his face brought brief moments of painful clarity.

"Pu-chi!"

The bone pierced Dongfang Jian's face, making a harsh sound.

In just a short moment, Dongfang Jian's face was mangled beyond recognition.

At that moment, Dongfang Jian had only one thought in mind, and that was to survive. No matter the cost, he had to live on.

...

A day went by.

Dongfang Jian was still struggling fiercely.

Two days passed.

Dongfang Jian was still alive.

Three days passed.

Dongfang Jian's breath was faint as if hanging by a thread, his complexion ghastly pale.

Four days, five days, six days...

Before he knew it, ten days had passed.

Dongfang Jian lay atop the pile of bones, moving only slightly after a long time. At this moment, he was hanging on by a thread, death a possibility at any time.

Am I really going to die? Dongfang Jian asked himself silently, I am not willing!

I am NOT willing!!!

Heaven, you are being unfair to me!!!

"Sigh..."

Just then, a sigh suddenly sounded from up ahead.

Someone? Dongfang Jian's heart jolted. He wanted to lift his head to look, but, after exerting much effort, he still couldn't raise his head. He was really too tired, too weak...

```

"Young man, your willpower is truly tenacious! Even I am somewhat moved," an aged voice rang in the ears of Dongfang Jian.

Dongfang Jian wanted to speak, but his mouth was frozen stiff, unable to open at all.

"I can save you, but you must agree to one thing," the aged voice said, "If you agree, just move a little."

With the last of his strength, Dongfang Jian faintly moved.

"Good! From now on, you are my disciple. I will not only save your life but also impart to you supreme abilities," the aged voice laughed heartily.

A tremendous force descended from the sky, wrapping around Dongfang Jian's body and drifting forward.

At last, he was rescued...

Dongfang Jian heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, his head tilted, and he passed out straight away.

...

When Dongfang Jian awoke again, he found himself lying on a stone bed, covered with a blanket, and his clothes had been changed.

"You're awake," someone asked.

With effort, Dongfang Jian turned his head and saw standing beside the bed a... wooden person... Yes, it was a wooden person, and Dongfang Jian's face was full of surprise: "Was it you who saved me?"

The wooden person nodded: "Yes."

"Who are you? How come you are here?" Dongfang Jian had a belly full of questions: "And why did you save me?"

"To be exact, I am a dead person."

"Dead person?"

"Yes, many years ago, I had already died. Before my death, I used a secret technique to refine an avatar and placed a wisp of my soul within it."

"Avatar?"

"You can think of it as a treasure, a treasure with its own consciousness," the wooden person said, "Your tenacity moved me, prompting me to admire your talent, and of course, I had a purpose in saving you."

"What purpose?" Dongfang Jian asked warily.

"You should heal first. Once you have recovered, I will tell you," the wooden person turned and left.

Dongfang Jian slowly furrowed his brows, what exactly did this wooden person want to do? He thought hard but could not fathom it, and finally decided not to think about it anymore and closed his eyes to sleep!

...

The wind was light, and the clouds were gentle.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Dongfang Jian's injuries had mostly healed.

"Take this elixir," the wooden person placed a white elixir on the table.

Dongfang Jian picked up the elixir and put it into his mouth.

"Come, sit down, I have something to tell you," the wooden person said with a smile.

Dongfang Jian pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Let me introduce myself first; my name is Niu Tian, the first patriarch of the Niu Family," the wooden person said slowly.

"The first generation?" Dongfang Jian was taken aback.

"To be exact, I founded the Niu Family, and it was under my hands that it flourished," said the wooden person.

"So you are the founder of the Niu Family?"

"Back in the day, I even reached the level of Tribulation Crossing Great Perfection. Unfortunately, I failed to cross the tribulation, my physical body was destroyed, and my soul turned to nothingness... Luckily, I had a contingency plan and left an avatar."

Dongfang Jian listened quietly, without saying a word.

"You must be very curious why I would stay in the Myriad Bone Cave?" the wooden person said with a slight smile: "Because there is a treasure here that I must guard."

"A treasure?" Dongfang Jian blinked, "What treasure?"

"A treasure that can ensure the Niu Family's prosperity for ten thousand years."

"What is it?"

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes, of course, I do!"

"Do you really want to know?" The wooden person actually started playing coy.

"Oh come on, stop beating around the bush, just tell me, what treasure is it?" Dongfang Jian urged.

"Don't be impatient, listen to me slowly tell you. This treasure, well, it is quite extraordinary, whoever obtains it will see their cultivation skyrocket and their lifespan extend! Achieving an unparalleled dominion!" the wooden person said with a grave expression.
