My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 362 - 359: Traveling Ten Thousand Miles a Day

```

And so, Gao Fei stayed on the frontier and became a Centurion.

The first thing he did upon taking office was to rectify the military camp!

At dawn.

Gao Fei stood on the stone platform and said loudly, "My name is Gao Fei, the newly appointed Centurion! From today onwards, all of you will be under my command. I have three things to say today. First, train on time every day without being lazy. Second, strictly obey my orders—listen, any order. Whatever I say, you must comply unconditionally.

Third, conduct yourselves with discipline and do not oppress the common people at will."

Hundreds of soldiers stood below the platform, listening quietly.

"Did everyone hear me!" Gao Fei shouted loudly.

"Heard..."

"Louder! I can't hear you!"

"Heard!!!"

"I'm easy to talk to, as long as you all behave, I won't make things difficult for you," Gao Fei said. "Alright, that's all. Dismissed. Those who should be training, go train; those who should be patrolling, go patrol. Get to work."

"Huala..."

The hundreds of soldiers dispersed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, only three people were left on the scene: Gao Fei, Chen San, and Liu Qing.

"Chen San." Gao Fei called out.

"Here." Chen San stepped forward.

"The training of soldiers is in your hands."

"Yes!"

"Liu Qing!"

"Here!"

"The daily affairs of the camp are your responsibility. Pay attention to the details and do not make mistakes."

"Yes!"

"With the two of you helping me, I feel much more at ease," Gao Fei said with a smile. "I plan to arrange a banquet to invite all the officers over. We can sit together and drink, fostering good relationships. What do you think?"

"That's a good idea."

"I'll go arrange it now."

...

In the evening.

The banquet began.

Gao Fei sat in the chief seat with a wine glass in hand, saying with a smile, "Today, everyone drink as much as you like without restraint. If anyone gets drunk, you can sleep over at my place."

"This subordinate toasts the Centurion!"

"I also toast the Centurion!"

"Wishing the Centurion boundless prosperity!"

"May the Centurion's wishes come true!"

All ten Decurions stood up to toast, their expressions very respectful.

"I know you have concerns," Gao Fei said with a faint smile. "You were promoted by Feng Chen, worried that I will replace you. You don't have to worry about this! As long as you truly support me and strictly follow my orders, I will not make things hard for you."

After hearing Gao Fei's words, the ten Decurions immediately relaxed.

"Come on, let's drink!"

"Cheers!"

The banquet was very successful today, and the ten Decurions had been won over by Gao Fei, at least on the surface.

After the banquet ended, the ten Decurions got up and left.

```

"Sir, do you... really trust them?" Chen San couldn't help but ask.

Gao Fei shook his head, "I don't trust them."

"If that's the case, why don't you simply remove them..."

"Let's observe for a while. I have just taken over as Centurion and am not very familiar with the situation in the military camp. I still need their help to stabilize the morale of the troops," Gao Fei considered thoroughly.

...

Gao Fei would take time every day to chat with the soldiers, offer them comfort and warmth, and help solve their problems. In just a few days, he had established his prestige in the camp.

The Decurions were also put in order, meek and utterly obedient to Gao Fei.

Within a matter of days, Gao Fei had completely taken control of the military camp, becoming the Centurion in both name and reality.

In an ancient and elegant room.

Gao Fei slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, "Using the amethyst for cultivation really is fast... In just a few days, my cultivation has advanced to the Second Layer of the Golden Core Stage..."

He had been using amethyst to cultivate these past few days, and his cultivation had soared rapidly, advancing a whole level in just a matter of days.

Having tasted the sweetness of amethyst, Gao Fei lost interest in other cultivation resources. Compared with amethyst, spirit stones and spiritual medicines were nothing but trash.

"Sigh..." Looking at the only two pieces of amethyst he had left, Gao Fei let out a soft sigh, "Only two pieces remain..."

Once the amethyst was used up, his cultivation speed would slow down, which was something Gao Fei absolutely did not want to see.

"Where can I get more amethyst?" Gao Fei pondered deeply, "Amethyst is monopolized by the major powers, and there's none to be seen on the market... There's nowhere to buy it even if I wanted to..."

"Then go rob it," Xuan Jizi's voice echoed in his mind, "If you can't buy it, go steal it!"

"Where would I rob it from?"

"Wherever there's amethyst, that's where you rob."

"Are you saying that my life is too long? You want me to court death, is that it?"

"Don't be so pessimistic," said Xuan Jizi, "Your cultivation may not be high, but you're cunning, right? As long as you use your brains and plan well, there's a chance of success."

"That's enough out of you," Gao Fei said irritably.

"I've pointed out the path. It's up to you whether to take it or not." With that, Xuan Jizi fell silent.

"Robbing amethyst... It's too risky. I won't do it unless absolutely necessary," Gao Fei shook his head gently. Amethyst was indeed important, but his life was even more so.

"Sir!" Chen San entered as he pushed the door, "To the southwest, a gang of bandits was spotted. They've raided a village and killed dozens of villagers."

"Bandits?" Gao Fei's expression darkened, "They've got some nerve! Robbing and killing on my turf? This is outrageous! Chen San, immediately muster the troops—we're going to eliminate these bandits."

Chen San was stunned, "You're going to take charge personally, sir?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Uh... no problem at all... I'll go assemble the troops right now."

...

Shortly after, a team of men charged out of the camp, led by Gao Fei himself.

"Chen San, have you ascertained the strength of those bandits?" As Gao Fei rode, he called out to inquire.

"Yes, they number over a hundred. Most of them are ordinary people, with only a small fraction being cultivators. Their leader is called Zhu Dahuzi, with Golden Core Realm Cultivation..." Chen San relayed all the information he had gathered, "These bandits have been around for quite some time, frequently causing harm to the surrounding villagers...

What I don't understand is why Li Xiaoming and Feng Chen, when they were Centurions, didn't deploy troops to exterminate these bandits?"

"There are only two possibilities," Gao Fei snorted, "First, Li Xiaoming and Feng Chen were too cowardly to provoke the bandits; or second, they received benefits from the bandits and turned a blind eye to their actions."

"If that's the case, Li Xiaoming and Feng Chen are scoundrels!" Chen San cursed.

Gao Fei nodded, "Exactly, they are scoundrels!"

The horses ridden by Gao Fei and his men were of a special breed, robust and swift, capable of covering vast distances in a day. In the market, a horse of this caliber could sell for a thousand spirit stones.

Hundreds of horses galloping on the road, swift as lightning, exuded an imposing aura. Their hooves thundered against the ground, creating a deafening rumble.

They raced on, and by nightfall, Gao Fei and his men had spotted traces of the bandits.
