My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 428 - 425: The Forgotten Treasure

Under the azure sky.

Three people were flying slowly, the bright sunlight shining on them and forming a thin halo around them. From a distance, it looked very beautiful.

These three people were Gao Fei, Chen San, and Liu Qing.

Gao Fei was flying while communicating with Xuan Jizi through mental power.

"How about it? You've admitted defeat, haven't you!" Xuan Jizi said proudly, "Listening to me was the right choice, wasn't it?"

"What's really going on?" Gao Fei asked, puzzled, "What is that golden bead? And... why did that Li Fire fly into my body like that, and it's behaving so docilely without any intention to harm me?"

"Want to know?" At the critical moment, Xuan Jizi actually started playing coy.

"Come on, tell me. I'm dying of curiosity," Gao Fei urged.

After whetting Gao Fei's appetite, Xuan Jizi slowly said, "That golden bead is the inner core of the golden bird."

"The inner core of the golden bird?" Gao Fei's eyes widened, "I actually ate the inner core of the golden bird?"

"After you swallowed the inner core, you took on the aura of the golden bird, which is why... the Li Fire was so gentle with you," Xuan Jizi continued, "Do you understand now?"

"So that's how it is," Gao Fei said with a dawning realization.

"Gao Fei, you really should thank me. If I hadn't made you swallow the inner core of the golden bird, you would never have been able to subdue the Li Fire," Xuan Jizi began to take credit.

Gao Fei nodded, "I should thank you! Thank you for helping me out a great deal! With the Li Fire, my strength will reach new heights."

"Although you've consumed the inner core of the golden bird and have its aura... you're not the golden bird after all, so it will still be somewhat difficult to completely subdue the Li Fire," Xuan Jizi explained.

"I know," Gao Fei nodded, "I will win over the Li Fire with sincerity. I'll soothe it slowly, communicate with it, and I believe it will ultimately accept me."

"When dealing with the Li Fire, you need to be patient and take it slow, don't rush. The Li Fire is a Heaven-Earth Spirit Fire, second only to the legendary Samadhi True Fire, and possesses high spirituality. If you treat it well, it will reciprocate."

"Having you by my side to guide me has saved me from many detours."

"Sometimes, I get a little jealous of you. Your luck is too good, wherever you go you find treasures... Like the little Leiyin Temple, Skyscraper Tower, Thousand Transformations Stone, Bronze Coffin, Drug-absorbing Bugs, the Black Spheres that can explode... these items are all peerless treasures. Others would be burning incense in gratitude for just one of them, but you got so many all at once... I really don't know what to say. If only I had your kind of luck back in the day, my physical body wouldn't have been destroyed by the thunder..."

"I admit, my luck is good, but I've also faced many dangers. There were several times when I nearly lost my life. Everything I have, I've earned with my life on the line."

"Compared to others, you're lucky. I have this feeling... your achievements in the future will be boundless. You may even break the rules of heaven and earth and ascend to the Immortal Realm to become an immortal."

"An immortal? The path to becoming immortal has been severed, how can I possibly become one?"

"There will always be a way. I have faith in you, you will definitely become an immortal. Just don't forget about me by then," Xuan Jizi said confidently.

"Don't worry, if I really do become an immortal, I won't forget you," Gao Fei laughed, "I'll take you with me to venture into the Immortal Realm, to witness its splendor."

"It's a deal then!"

"A deal!"

"Oh, there's one more thing... I just thought of it suddenly."

Gao Fei asked curiously, "What is it?"

"You have something on you that can help you break through to the Nascent Soul Stage," Xuan Jizi said.

"Is there such a thing?" Gao Fei blinked, "How come I can't remember it?"

"I knew you'd forgotten." Xuan Jizi laughed, "Not just you, even I had forgotten... until now I just remembered... Speaking of which, our memories are really terrible."

"What on earth is it?" Gao Fei pressed, "Stop beating around the bush and just tell me."

Xuan Jizi said word by word, "Comprehension Pill! Do you remember now?"

"Slap!"

Gao Fei slapped himself, saying with immense annoyance, "Damn! How could I forget this thing! I deserve to die! To forget something so important! I'm really a pig!!! No, I'm not even as good as a pig!!!" The Comprehension Pill is a very magical elixir that can help Golden Core Stage cultivators to make a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage. The Comprehension Pill originally belonged to the Great Elder Jin Chaoyang of the Tianyang Sect. Later, Gao Fei used a trick to snatch it away. Several months had flashed by, and Gao Fei had completely forgotten about it. Had it not been for Xuan Jizi's reminder, Gao Fei wouldn't have remembered it at all.

"Enough with the regret," Xuan Jizi said, "hurry up and take the Comprehension Pill. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll definitely be able to form your Nascent Soul this time."

"I'll take it after the trial is over," Gao Fei decided, having only one Comprehension Pill, he had to treat it with caution.

"As you wish," Xuan Jizi said, "The Comprehension Pill is yours, you can take it whenever you want."

"In just over a month, the trial will be over, and then I will go into closed-door cultivation to make a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage. This time I must succeed no matter what!" Gao Fei declared resolutely.

Gao Fei used his mental power to communicate with Xuan Jizi, so Chen San and Liu Qing couldn't hear a thing. They could only observe Gao Fei's expressions changing constantly, one moment happy, the next frowning, then deep in thought...

"Look! There are so many serrated fish ahead!" Chen San exclaimed in surprise.

Gao Fei and Liu Qing looked up and saw the waves rolling in the distance, with plump serrated fish emerging from the water, chasing and frolicking playfully.

"Let's go! Time to catch some fish!" Gao Fei waved his hand grandly, leading Chen San and Liu Qing as they flew over.

It wasn't long before the sea surface returned to calm.

Thousands of serrated fish had been caught by Gao Fei and his companions, not one escaped.

The three of them shared the catch equally, each getting over two thousand fish.

"We're rich! Seriously rich!" Chen San couldn't close his smile, "Just like that, I've got over two thousand serrated fish... The first place in the trial is yours, and the second is mine."

"Then, I'll modestly settle for third," Liu Qing shrugged, made a face, raised his eyebrows, looking quite humorous.

"If you guys want to fight for second and third place, you'll have to work harder and catch more serrated fish," Gao Fei looked into the distance, "Judging the distance, we must have traveled thousands of kilometers into the sea, right?"

"Only more, not less," Chen San said.

"Master, I made a point of asking about it on the way here," Liu Qing spoke, "the sea beneath our feet has a rather spine-chilling name."

"What name?" Gao Fei asked curiously.

Chen San also looked at Liu Qing with a puzzled expression.

Liu Qing coughed, "You can guess! It's a four-character name! It rolls off the tongue nicely, but the meaning is pretty scary."

"Stop beating around the bush and just say it!"

"Just guess for a bit."

"... Believe it or not, I'll smack you with the sole of my shoe if you keep rambling?"

"Alright, I'll tell... Listen carefully, everyone." Liu Qing prepared to reveal the answer.
