My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 447 - 444: Seeing Through the Conspiracy

Nangong Qi's face was pale, his body trembling slightly, and the clothes on his back soaked with cold sweat. It had been too close—almost skimming past the God of Death...

The disciples of Piaomiao Palace were also full of lingering fear.

"Nangong Qi! Hand over the Dragon Corpse now!" Niu Xiangnan's shouting voice came from a distance, "Give up the Dragon Corpse, and you will be spared!"

"Give your mother!" Nangong Qi cursed aloud, "Didn't you see the Dragon Corpse has already flown away?"

"Fly your ancestor!" Niu Xiangnan cursed back, "The Dragon Corpse is right behind you, yet you say it's flown away. That's outright lying with your eyes open! Shameless!"

"What? Behind me?" Nangong Qi turned around to look, "Damn it! When did you guys get here?" Not far behind him floated a Bronze Coffin and a Dragon Corpse.

"Vice Palace Master, what should we do?" one of his subordinates asked anxiously, "The enemy will catch up soon, and without the flying ship, we simply can't escape."

"Vice Palace Master, leave the Dragon Corpse behind."

"For a single Dragon Corpse, risking everyone's lives really isn't worth it."

"Let's withdraw quickly."

...

Nangong Qi looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, "In the end, I'm still losing the Dragon Corpse! I really can't accept this!!!" After roaring twice, Nangong Qi led his subordinates away, as for the Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse... Nangong Qi straight up gave them up.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The Bronze Coffin, dragging the Dragon Corpse, followed.

"Stop following!" Nangong Qi shook his arms hard, "I'm not capable of taking you! You should choose someone else!"

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The Bronze Coffin still chased after Nangong Qi, dragging the Dragon Corpse.

"What do you really want!" Nangong Qi was on the verge of collapse, "Are you trying to kill me?" At this moment, Nangong Qi wanted to cry; he was feeling frustrated, angry, and depressed, his mood very low.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, the Bronze Coffin turned around, dragging the Dragon Corpse in another direction.

"Not following anymore..." Nangong Qi gave a bitter smile, "Are you disappointed in me..."

"Vice Palace Master, look on the bright side," advised a subordinate, "We're weak now and have no choice but to bow down. Once we have a chance in the future, we can take the Dragon Corpse back."

Nangong Qi shook his head, not saying a word. It was evident that he was in very bad spirits.

...

In the high sky.

The Bronze Coffin was flying rapidly, dragging the Dragon Corpse.

Inside the coffin, Gao Fei was talking with the old man of the Bronze Coffin.

The old man of the Bronze Coffin said, "Nangong Qi is just a coward! He has no sense of responsibility! I look down on him!"

"Nangong Qi is a smart man," Gao Fei said. "He couldn't keep the Dragon Corpse, so he had to give it up. This is the most sensible approach."

"What sensible crap," the old man of the Bronze Coffin snorted. "Can sensibility be eaten as food? Can it be used to cultivate Spiritual Energy? Can it get you the Dragon Corpse?"

"Senior, you're just being argumentative."

"I'm just telling it like it is! Sometimes, people need to be impulsive and not be bound by reason, otherwise, they'll miss out on a lot of opportunities."

"Isn't it situational, though? If you know being impulsive means death, why be impulsive?"

"There's a saying 'To be reborn from the brink of death.' Only those who are not afraid to die can truly achieve great things."

"Not being afraid to die and courting death are two different things."

"Talking to you is so frustrating! You always have to contradict me! Annoying!"

"Alright, let's change the subject," Gao Fei said with a smile, "Nangong Qi is finished, he's lost his value to us. Should we pick a new target next?"

"You're thinking what I'm thinking," said the old man of the Bronze Coffin. "Our task is to create chaos, the more chaotic the better. Only then will we have a chance to escape."

...

"Buzz!!!"

The Bronze Coffin, dragging the Dragon Corpse, descended from the sky and landed precisely on the Niu Family's flying ship.

"Huh?" The people of the Niu Family were stunned.

"Hand over the Dragon Corpse!" A gang of experts rushed forward, clashing violently with the Niu Family's people.

The battle ended swiftly, and the defeated were the Niu Family.

Niu Xiangnan lay on the ground, coughing up blood in great gushes, his complexion deathly pale. He struggled to lift his head, his eyes bloodshot as he cursed, "I will not let you off! I will not let you off!!!"

"Buzz!!!"

After the Niu Family's defeat, the Bronze Coffin took the Dragon Corpse and shot into the sky. After circling for a while, it landed on the Jin Family's flying ship, and then a gang of experts began to besiege the Jin Family's ship.

It didn't take long for the Jin Family to be defeated, leaving many dead and wounded.

Once the Jin Family's forces were entirely wiped out, the Bronze Coffin left with the Dragon Corpse and, after flying around in the sky for a while, gently landed on the Li Family's flying ship.

"Kill!"

"Rob!"

"The Dragon Corpse!"

A gang of experts started to attack the Li Family's flying ship.

...

In the time that followed, the Bronze Coffin, with the Dragon Corpse in tow, ran rampant everywhere, landing on this ship for a while, then on that one... The Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse were having a marvelous time, but they brought disaster to others... It wasn't long before over a dozen ships were severely damaged.

"Thud!"

This time, the Bronze Coffin carrying the Dragon Corpse landed on the flying ship of Li He, the Prince of the Northern Town.

"Hand over the Dragon Corpse!" A gang of formidable experts charged up fiercely.

"Everybody, hear me out!" Prince Li He of the Northern Town shouted at the top of his lungs, "This is a complete set-up! It's a conspiracy! We've all been played!!! We've been played by this Bronze Coffin and Dragon Corpse! Everyone, calm down, let's not create more slaughter!"

"Stop!"

Feng Wuji, the Great Elder of Feng Family, called out, "Everybody, stop for a moment! Let's hear what Prince Li He of the Northern Town has to say!"

"Swoosh!"

More than twenty experts halted their movements, then stared at Prince Li He of the Northern Town with cold eyes.

"We've all been played by the Bronze Coffin and Dragon Corpse!" Prince Li He of the Northern Town proclaimed loudly, "The Bronze Coffin and Dragon Corpse deliberately caused trouble, making us fight and kill each other. It's really too malicious." As he said this, Prince Li He paused for a moment, "At first, the Bronze Coffin and Dragon Corpse chose Nangong Qi, and then we launched an attack on Nangong Qi. After Nangong Qi was driven away, the Bronze Coffin and Dragon Corpse went for the Niu Family, and then we started attacking the Niu Family... Next were the Jin Family, the Li Family... In the blink of an eye, over a dozen ships were severely damaged, and hundreds were killed or injured... This is clearly a conspiracy! A huge conspiracy! Everybody, wake up, don't be fooled again!"

After hearing the words of Prince Li He, everyone showed hesitant expressions.

"He makes some sense."

"The Bronze Coffin and Dragon Corpse are inanimate objects, they shouldn't have such high intelligence, right?"

"We might really have been tricked."

"Led by the nose by the Bronze Coffin and Dragon Corpse."

"We've realized too late."

"Prince Li He of the Northern Town sees clearly!"

There were discussions among the crowd.

Prince Li He of the Northern Town breathed a sigh of relief, having finally stabilized these powerful beings.

"Prince of the Northern Town! I admit you make some sense," Feng Wuji, the Great Elder of the Feng Family, said in a deep voice, "Hand over the Bronze Coffin and Dragon Corpse to us."

"Right! Hand over the Bronze Coffin and Dragon Corpse," the others shouted along.
