My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 453 - 450: Staring at the Mountain While the Horse Dies from Running

Gao Fei found himself turned into a speck of dust that drifted with the wind, soaring high into the sky one moment and falling to the ground the next, rising and falling, witnessing the world's prosperity.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a bolt of thunder flashed across the sky, followed by a downpour of heavy rain.

Under the torrential rain, the dust that was Gao Fei slowly dissolved, gradually vanishing between heaven and earth...

"No!"

Gao Fei abruptly sat up and let out a roar, "I don't want to dissolve! I don't want to disappear!!! No!!!! Uh... where is this?" Gao Fei looked around in surprise, finding himself on a beach, with several mountains rising in the distance, trees, and flowers at their base, and a flock of unidentifiable birds playing on the branches.

Not far away lay a Bronze Coffin and a Dragon Corpse, with two people lying beside the coffin, none other than Chen San and Liu Qing.

"Where is this?" Gao Fei was stunned. "Haven't I been inside the Bronze Coffin all this time? How did I get out?" Struggling to his feet, Gao Fei walked toward the Bronze Coffin, "Chen San, Liu Qing, wake up! Hey, wake up!" Under Gao Fei's pats, Chen San and Liu Qing slowly opened their eyes.

"Ugh... what happened to me?" Chen San rubbed his swollen head. "How did I end up here?"

"Where is this?" Liu Qing was also full of confusion, still feeling dizzy up to this point.

"I just woke up too," Gao Fei shook his head. "So many things are unclear!" Gao Fei released his Mental Power to call out to the old man in the Bronze Coffin. After calling for a long time without a response, Gao Fei's eyebrows started to furrow. What was going on? Why didn't the old man in the Bronze Coffin respond? Was there some kind of accident?

Gao Fei racked his brains but couldn't figure out why.

That's right, ask Xuan Jizi! He should know some inside information!

"Xuan Jizi! Come out! Xuan Jizi!!!" Gao Fei called out a few times using his Mental Power, "Xuan Jizi! Come out!!!"

After waiting a long time, Gao Fei still got no response from Xuan Jizi.

What's going on?

Why is Xuan Jizi not responding to me?

Gao Fei felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Could it be that something had happened to Xuan Jizi too? In haste, Gao Fei closed his eyes, controlling his soul to search for Xuan Jizi... He found him! A light orb was floating in the depths of his mind, within which one could vaguely see a silhouette lying down, this was Xuan Jizi's soul.

"Hey! Xuan Jizi!" Gao Fei's soul approached and shouted loudly.

Xuan Jizi's soul was quiet and still, showing no reaction.

"What's going on?" Gao Fei's soul leaned in closer and then Illusion Transformed a huge hand to slap Xuan Jizi's soul.

"Thump!"

Xuan Jizi's soul jarred from the slap, then violently trembled, "Who hit me! Who is it! Who hit me!!!"

"At least you are responding now!" Gao Fei's soul said.

"Is it you?" Xuan Jizi's soul looked angrily at Gao Fei's soul. "Why did you hit me!"

"I wasn't hitting you, I was trying to wake you up," Gao Fei's soul explained. "I've been calling you, but you didn't respond, so I had no choice but to slap you... Right, what was happening with you just now, why didn't you respond?"

"Just now..." Xuan Jizi's soul snorted coldly. "It's all thanks to you."

"Me?"

"Yes! You!"

"What did I do? I didn't do anything!"

"The Bronze Coffin and the Dragon Corpse were sucked into a vortex, then you were knocked out, and I was knocked out along with you."

"So that's how it is..."

"What did you think?"

"What about the old man in the bronze coffin? Where did he go? I can't contact him!"

"He must have been knocked out too..."

"What on earth happened after I was stunned?" Gao Fei's soul asked.

"I don't know," Xuan Jizi's soul replied bluntly. "When you passed out, I was out too. I have no idea what happened in the meantime."

Asking for so long and not getting any answers was like asking in vain.

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest." Dropping that sentence, Xuan Jizi's soul drifted away.

...

On the beach.

Gao Fei slowly opened his eyes, a flash of light in his eyes came and went, making sure Xuan Jizi was fine, he felt relieved.

"Master, I took a stroll just now and found out that this place is an island, quite vast." Chen San came over from the side. "The place we're at is on the edge of the island, which has been washed by the sea, forming a beach." Chen San shared what he had discovered.

"An island?" A flicker of confusion crossed Gao Fei's eyes. "We've been under the sea the whole time, how did we end up on an island? What exactly happened?"

Gao Fei was puzzled, as were Chen San and Liu Qing. The three of them gathered together and discussed for a long time but couldn't come up with any conclusion.

The scene before them could only be described as "eerie".

Too eerie!

Too peculiar!

Too unbelievable!

"Let's split up and thoroughly search the island, remember, don't miss any corner," Gao Fei pondered for a moment and then said.

"Alright, I'll search to the east," Chen San left swiftly.

"I'll search to the west," Liu Qing also departed.

Gao Fei glanced at the bronze coffin and the dragon corpse and mumbled to himself: Should it be safe to leave the bronze coffin and the dragon corpse here? After hesitating for a moment, Gao Fei still went over and put the bronze coffin into the storage ring, as for the dragon corpse... he could only drag it with a rope. What a drag, indeed, the dragon corpse couldn't be shrunk down, it couldn't be put into the storage ring, he had to pull it by hand.

Gao Fei looked around and then, pulling the dragon corpse, flew towards the central region of the island.

"Chirp chirp, chatter chatter..."

"Flap, flap..."

A flock of birds playing on the branches all took flight, emitting panicky chirps as they swiftly flew away.

"Am I that scary?" Gao Fei curled his lip. "Why are you running? I won't hurt you."

From high above, the island resembled a basin, high around the edges and lower in the middle, with about a dozen peaks standing in the central region. The highest peak stood a thousand zhang tall, and the lowest a hundred zhang, scattered in different directions creating a beautiful pattern.

There is a saying "watching mountains run horses to death," what does it mean? It means you see a big mountain across the way, and it doesn't look far, but in reality, it's so far away that a horse would run itself to death trying to get close but never reaching the mountain.

Gao Fei was now facing this very situation. He dragged the dragon corpse as he flew for several hours, yet he still hadn't reached the peaks.

"How big is this island exactly!" Gao Fei was secretly shocked. "Even if the dragon corpse is cumbersome and affecting my flying speed, I must have flown hundreds of kilometers in these hours, right? To fly so far and still not get close to the peaks, isn't that terrifying?"
