My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 526 - 523: Knocking on the Door (Part 3)

Gao Fei looked at Shangguan Yunyue with a bitter smile on his face, "Why are you so sure that the Earth Core Flame is on me? To tell you the truth, I have no idea what the Earth Core Flame is. Could there be some misunderstanding here?"

"Did you see this cauldron?" Shangguan Yunyue patted the three-legged cauldron in her arms.

Gao Fei nodded, "Ah, I saw it. This cauldron looks quite old; it must have been around for quite some time, right?"

"This cauldron is a treasure of Piaomiao Palace; it has been used to refine countless elixirs," Shangguan Yunyue said coldly. "It has once used the Earth Core Flame to refine elixirs and has unintentionally absorbed a trace of the Earth Core Flame's qi. I was able to track the Earth Core Flame's whereabouts through the cauldron, and after following its trail, I ended up here." Shangguan Yunyue paused for a moment before continuing, "When I got close to this courtyard, the cauldron's reaction was very strong, indicating that the Earth Core Flame was inside this courtyard! And when you showed up, the cauldron's reaction was even stronger, indicating that the Earth Core Flame was on you."

"Cauldron..." Gao Fei finally understood what was going on—it was all related to this three-legged cauldron.

"Do you have anything to say now?" Shangguan Yunyue huffed.

"I have nothing to say."

"You admit it?"

"I don't admit it!"

"You..."

"The three-legged cauldron is sensing it wrong. The Earth Core Flame you're looking for is not on me at all."

"You still won't admit it!" Shangguan Yunyue got angry, "The three-legged cauldron would never sense it wrong! The Earth Core Flame is on you!" With that, Shangguan Yunyue reached out, trying to grab Gao Fei. Since talking was futile, it was time to take action.

Gao Fei reacted quickly, retreating swiftly as soon as Shangguan Yunyue reached out. He released two black spheres from his sleeves, shooting them towards Shangguan Yunyue.

"What the hell is this, get lost!" Shangguan Yunyue shouted angrily, reaching out to grab the black spheres flying towards her. As soon as she caught the black spheres, her complexion changed: "Not good!" Shangguan Yunyue hurriedly threw the black spheres away, then leaped backwards... At that moment, the two black spheres exploded, and two violent qis spread in all directions, quickly enveloping Shangguan Yunyue.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

Shangguan Yunyue, with her hair disheveled, burst out covered in black ash, "Bastard! I'm going to kill you!!!" Caught off guard and having suffered a loss, Shangguan Yunyue was practically driven mad with rage. She soared into the sky and chased after Gao Fei.

"Damn! She caught up so quickly!" Gao Fei was secretly shocked, "As expected of the Palace Master of the Piaomiao Palace, her strength is truly exceptional!" To think she was still unharmed after being blown up by two black spheres? Impressive! Heavenly Demon First Transformation, Second Transformation, Third Transformation, Fourth Transformation... As Gao Fei ran, he used the first four transformations of the Heavenly Demon's Ten Transformations, instantly increasing his strength fourfold and his running speed as well... Unfortunately, he still couldn't shake off Shangguan Yunyue.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Hundreds of drug-absorbing bugs flew out from the storage ring, opening their mouths to spew out poison gas. The toxic mist spread out, forming a wall that extended across the sky.

"Slap!"

Shangguan Yunyue raced over and struck the Poison Gas Wall with her palm, "Boom!!!" The wall instantly collapsed and vanished from the world.

"That strong?" Gao Fei twitched his face, "No choice but to use my last move! Bronze Coffin, come out!"

"Swish!"

A bronze coffin suddenly appeared in front of Gao Fei; he pushed open the lid, jumped in, "Clack!" The lid closed automatically, and then, with a whoosh, it sped off into the distance.

"Where do you think you're going!" Shangguan Yunyue quickly caught up, striking the Bronze Coffin with three palms.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After enduring three hits, the Bronze Coffin jolted three times, and then continued its flight.

"Huh?" Shangguan Yunyue was taken aback, "It's unscathed? This Bronze Coffin is really sturdy!" Shangguan Yunyue increased her strength and struck the Bronze Coffin with several more palms. After finishing, she saw the Bronze Coffin was completely undamaged, not a scratch on it. "Hiss!" Shangguan Yunyue was moved, "What material is this Bronze Coffin made from? How can it be so resilient?"

"How many times do I have to tell you before you'll believe me?" A voice came from within the Bronze Coffin, "I don't have the Earth Core Flame you're looking for! I really don't!"

"Fine then, come out and let me search you," Shangguan Yunyue said. "If I can't find it, I'll apologize to you and compensate you."

"Sorry, I'm not in the habit of being searched by a woman," Gao Fei flatly refused.

"Hmph!" Shangguan Yunyue snorted coldly, "Why don't you dare agree? Are you feeling guilty?"

"Say whatever you want; I'm just not going to let you search me," Gao Fei responded. "Being searched by a woman, that's just too embarrassing."

"You think you can just hide in the coffin and I'll have no way to deal with you?" Shangguan Yunyue said, "I'm going to smash this coffin right now!" Saying this, Shangguan Yunyue gathered all her strength into her hands and then harshly slapped the Bronze Coffin, once, twice, thrice... ten times... a hundred times... Shangguan Yunyue unleashed over a hundred palm strikes in one go, each one with full power.

She stopped and took a brief breath before looking up again...

"How can this be?" Shangguan Yunyue was stunned, disbelief clear on her face, "Endured over a hundred of my palms and still unharmed? That's just ridiculous!" Even a great mountain would be shattered, yet the Bronze Coffin remained completely unscathed. It was a bit much for Shangguan Yunyue to take.

"I don't believe this!"

Shangguan Yunyue's stubbornness flared up, and she took out a Treasure and started bombarding the Bronze Coffin.

As time ticked away, Shangguan Yunyue became exhausted and out of breath, yet the Bronze Coffin was still intact.

"Even a Supreme Grade Treasure would have collapsed under such a bombardment, yet this Bronze Coffin remains undamaged..." Shangguan Yunyue looked at the Bronze Coffin with a serious expression, "There's only one explanation... this Bronze Coffin is a Spiritual Treasure... Only a Spiritual Treasure could withstand such fierce attacks from me."

"Palace Master has a sharp eye indeed!" a voice came from within the Bronze Coffin, "This Bronze Coffin is indeed a Spiritual Treasure, and it's a Defensive Spiritual Treasure at that."

"A mere Nascent Soul Cultivator actually possesses a Spiritual Treasure, that is quite surprising," Shangguan Yunyue said slowly.

"Palace Master, you might as well save your energy, you won't be able to destroy the Bronze Coffin."

"What now? You plan to stay inside the Bronze Coffin for a lifetime?"

"If you keep trying to kill me, then I'll indeed stay in the Bronze Coffin for a lifetime! Although it's a bit lonely, for the sake of my life's safety, I can only sacrifice a little," Gao Fei replied.

"You are shameless!" Shangguan Yunyue cursed, "Bastard! A complete and utter bastard!"

"A woman, especially a beautiful one, shouldn't swear—it's not right and it affects your image," Gao Fei spoke earnestly. "It's better for a woman to be more reserved."
