My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 342 - 339: Spirit Cat

Three days had swiftly passed by.

That morning, Wooden Man came looking for Dongfang Jian, swaying as he walked.

"How is it? Are you ready to attempt the Golden Core Stage today?" Wooden Man asked bluntly.

Dongfang Jian nodded solemnly, "I have made my preparations."

"Then let's begin," Wooden Man said. "I will act as your protector, so you can confidently make your attempt at the Golden Core Stage."

"Thank you, Master," Dongfang Jian replied as he sat cross-legged on the ground, hands extended flat on his knees, and then closed his eyes.

"Calm your mind... steady your breath... keep your brain clear and empty..." Wooden Man said slowly, "Take it step by step... do not rush... Yes, just like that..." With Wooden Man's guidance, Dongfang Jian's attempt at the Golden Core Stage was much smoother.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Beads of sweat formed densely on Dongfang Jian's forehead, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Success or failure hinged on this moment! Wooden Man silently said to himself, persistence is victory! To retreat is to fail! Whether you succeed or fail is now down to your own fate.

Several days later.

Dongfang Jian slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance escaped from them.

"Haha..." Wooden Man burst into hearty laughter, "Good, you haven't disappointed me."

Dongfang Jian stood up from the ground and bowed deeply to Wooden Man, "Thank you for your nurturing, Master. Your kindness and grace, I will never forget in my lifetime."

"There's no need for such formalities between us," Wooden Man said, waving his hand. "My good disciple, from today onwards you are a Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage! The path to glory is now open to you." With that, Wooden Man spat out a Jade Token from his mouth, "This contains some spells. Take it and cultivate them."

"Thank you, Master." Dongfang Jian reached out with both hands and took the Jade Token.

"Hmm, go cultivate. I will come to see you another day." Wooden Man left with a face full of joy.

...

During this time, Gao Fei was feeling rather depressed.

He had exhausted all his saved Spirit Stones, Ferocious Beast Inner Cores, and Spiritual Medicines, subsequently, his Cultivation Speed had become unbearably slow.

"Spirit Stones, oh Spirit Stones! Where are you?"

"Ferocious Beast Inner Cores, oh Inner Cores! Where have you gone?"

"Spiritual Medicines, oh Medicines! Where can I find you?"

Gao Fei sighed heavily toward the sky.

Without resources like Spirit Stones, Gao Fei could only rely on absorbing the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, which was incredibly slow.

"Let's all keep our spirits high, we must find the Spiritual Cat."

"This is a great opportunity to endear ourselves to the city lord."

"Spiritual Cat, oh Spiritual Cat, please reveal yourself quickly."

Suddenly, a large group of people appeared ahead, consisting of men and women, the old and the young, all chattering noisily.

"Hey! Pal!" a fat-faced man yelled at Gao Fei, "Have you seen a cat? A white cat?"

"Haven't seen it," Gao Fei answered offhandedly.

"Really haven't seen it?" the fat-faced man approached, "Think again, carefully."

"If I said I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it," Gao Fei retorted, "Do I have any reason to lie to you?"

"Damn Spiritual Cat, where on earth did you run off to?" the fat-faced man cursed, huffing and puffing, "Relinquishing a comfortable life just to stir up trouble, isn't this just causing us grief?" As the man was about to leave, he was stopped by Gao Fei.

"Hey there, buddy, why are you looking for a cat?" Gao Fei asked curiously.

"It's not just any cat," the man sighed, "It's a Spiritual Cat."

"A Spiritual Cat?"

"It's the city lord's daughter's spirit cat."

"The city lord's daughter?"

"The spirit cat has gone missing, and the city lord's daughter is heartbroken. She's been crying every day, not eating, not sleeping, driving the city lord to his wits' end. And now, the city lord himself has decreed that whoever can find the spirit cat will be rewarded with one hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"How much?" Gao Fei's eyes widened, "One hundred thousand Spirit Stones?"

The burly man nodded, "Yes, one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, that's what the city lord said! Now the whole city's force is mobilized, meticulously searching the nearby areas, but they haven't found the spirit cat."

Gao Fei was no longer interested in what the burly man was saying, his mind filled with thoughts of Spirit Stones, one hundred thousand of them! That was one hundred thousand Spirit Stones! If he could get his hands on them, he wouldn't have to worry about cultivation anymore.

Spirit cat?

Yes!

Just find the spirit cat, and exchange it for Spirit Stones!

"Buddy, what does that spirit cat look like? Does it have any distinctive features?" Gao Fei asked eagerly.

"What it specifically looks like... I haven't seen it myself..." the burly man said, "I only heard from others... The spirit cat is a mutated breed, with pure white fur, red eyes, a very long tail, and a very pleasant meow."

"A mutated breed? Pure white fur? Red eyes? A very long tail?" Gao Fei memorized the details of the spirit cat, "When did the spirit cat go missing?"

"It's been several days now," the burly man waved his hand, "Alright, I've got to go. I'm off to search for the spirit cat." And with that, he hurried off.

Gao Fei glanced around: "Spirit cat? Where should I go to search for a spirit cat?"

In just a short moment, another large group of people arrived, all searching for the spirit cat.

"With so many people gathering, they're making a lot of noise. If the spirit cat was hiding nearby, it would've been scared off by now." Gao Fei used his brain and began to analyze, "Try my luck in less populated areas." Having made up his mind, he strode off towards the distance.

...

When luck arrives, nothing can stop it.

As soon as Gao Fei walked into a grove, he saw a cat.

Over half a meter in length, pure white fur, a big head, red eyes, a pointed mouth, and a very long tail...

All the characteristics matched.

"Haha..." Gao Fei burst into laughter, "My luck is really against the heavens!" He approached the spirit cat gently, afraid of startling it, "Kitty, be good, stay still. I'm coming to pick you up now."

"Meow!"

The spirit cat suddenly stood up, its eyes fixated on Gao Fei.

"Uh, don't get excited, I mean you no harm." Gao Fei flashed a bright smile, "I'm here to take you home. You've been missing; your owner is very worried... Hey, don't run... Don't run..."

"Meow!"

The spirit cat turned around and ran.

Gao Fei chased after it quickly.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

The spirit cat was swift, running like the wind through the woods, and for a moment, Gao Fei couldn't catch up.

"Okay, I won't chase you anymore, stop running." Gao Fei stopped and shouted to the spirit cat, "I'm not chasing you anymore! Really, I've stopped! You must be tired from all the running, right? Take a break."

Whether it was due to Gao Fei's shouting or not, the running spirit cat did stop. It turned its head to look at Gao Fei, its gaze wary.

"Do I look like a bad guy to you?" Gao Fei spread his hands and said with a smile, "I'm a good person! A big good person! I definitely won't hurt you! You have to trust me!"

"Meow!"

Snaggletooth the spirit cat growled fiercely, its expression vicious.

"Being a good person is so hard," Gao Fei sighed, "Well then, since you don't trust me, I won't get closer to you."
