My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 527 - 524 Mysterious Space (Part 1)

Gao Fei hid in the Bronze Coffin and wouldn't come out, occasionally speaking to provoke Shangguan Yunyue, which made her infuriated to the extreme.

"Bastard! Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?" Shangguan Yunyue flipped her wrist, and a shimmering Golden Dagger appeared in her palm, which emitted a dazzling light under the sun's rays, "Swoosh swoosh swoosh!" As soon as the dagger appeared, the surrounding Spiritual Energy rushed over like mad, and as the Spiritual Energy continued to pour in, the Golden Dagger started to increase in size bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, the dagger expanded dozens of times in volume, glowing golden and emitting a terrifying, astonishing presence.

"What a powerful presence..." came Gao Fei's surprised voice from inside the Bronze Coffin.

"Take a good look, this Golden Dagger in my hand is also a Spiritual Treasure!" Shangguan Yunyue shouted loudly, "Your Bronze Coffin is Defensive Spiritual Treasure, while my Golden Dagger is an offensive Spiritual Treasure. Today, I'll test which one is more powerful, your Bronze Coffin or my Golden Dagger!"

"What?" Gao Fei exclaimed, "The dagger in your hand is a Spiritual Treasure? No wonder the aura it emits is so intense."

"Sky-breaking Slash!"

Shangguan Yunyue gripped the Golden Dagger with both hands and slashed towards the Bronze Coffin, "Boom!!!" The Golden Dagger streaked through the air, leaving a white trail, "Boom!!!" In an instant, the Golden Dagger struck the Bronze Coffin, emitting a deafening noise.

"THUD THUD THUD!"

The Bronze Coffin tumbled and rolled away, making a series of dull sounds as it moved.

"Keep slashing! Slash! Slash!!!"

Shangguan Yunyue, seizing the advantage, chased after it, raised the Golden Dagger, and fiercely slashed at the Bronze Coffin, once, twice, thrice... repeatedly striking dozens of times in quick succession...

"It's undamaged?"

Shangguan Yunyue looked at the Bronze Coffin in front of her, her eyes filled with disbelief; despite being slashed by the Golden Dagger so many times, the Bronze Coffin had not even the slightest damage.

"I advise you to save your energy; your dagger simply can't break through the defense of the Bronze Coffin," Gao Fei's voice came from inside the coffin.

Shangguan Yunyue frowned, the resilience of the Bronze Coffin exceeding her expectations, leaving her feeling helpless.

Anyone who encountered such a Bronze Coffin would have a headache.

"Swoosh!"

The floating Bronze Coffin suddenly shot through the air, flying at an incredible speed.

"Where do you think you're going!" Shangguan Yunyue leaped up and gave chase.

What followed was rather amusing. The Bronze Coffin flew ahead while Shangguan Yunyue chased after it, attacking it fiercely with the Golden Dagger whenever she caught up. When Shangguan Yunyue grew tired and stopped attacking, the Bronze Coffin would quickly flee, and after she rested for a while, she would leap up and pursue...

They played a game of cat and mouse, covering tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

They chased from day into night, and from night back into day, almost without any rest.

Gao Fei was tired from fleeing, and Shangguan Yunyue exhausted from pursuing. Both of them were getting fed up in their hearts, but they were both too stubborn to admit defeat, clenching their teeth and persisting.

That night, a fierce wind rose, and dark clouds covered the sky. The world was pitch black, with neither the moon nor stars showing themselves; the Bronze Coffin sped through the darkness, with Shangguan Yunyue closely chasing behind, the distance between them closing bit by bit... Just as Shangguan Yunyue was about to catch up with the Bronze Coffin, an accident occurred.

"Swoosh!"

A bright light suddenly flashed directly ahead, like lightning tearing through the darkness, creating a brief illumination in the sky.

"Hum!"

The Bronze Coffin, moving rapidly, collided with the bright light, and then... then it vanished without a trace...

"Not good!" By the time Shangguan Yunyue realized something was amiss, it was too late. A vast pulling force emanated from the bright light, drawing her in, "Pfft!" Shangguan Yunyue also disappeared.

Immediately after, the bright light vanished...

What was that bright light? Why did it generate suction? Where did Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue go? Everyone, don't worry, the answer will be revealed shortly.

...

In a dimly lit space.

A Bronze Coffin lay on the ground, tipped to one side and seemingly ready to tip over at any moment.

"Crack!"

The lid of the coffin was gently pushed open, and a disheveled Gao Fei climbed out of the Bronze Coffin, "Pfft!" He fell to the ground, gasping for air, "What's happened to me? My body is completely devoid of True Qi, I'm sore all over, powerless—what exactly happened just now?"

Gao Fei got up off the ground and looked around, "Where is this place? Why is the Spiritual Energy so sparse?" The sky was overcast, with neither the sun nor the moon and stars visible. The air was a bit humid and carried a hint of mildew. Most frustratingly, the Spiritual Energy contained in the air was extremely scant, nearly negligible.

"Tap tap tap..."

Footsteps came from behind.

"Who's there!" Gao Fei spun around sharply. A woman was staggering towards him; on closer inspection, it was actually Shangguan Yunyue. Gao Fei instinctively stepped back, eyeing Shangguan Yunyue warily, "You really are like a bad penny!"

Shangguan Yunyue stopped in her tracks, staring intently at Gao Fei without uttering a word.

"I'm telling you for the last time: I don't have the Earth Core Flame you're looking for! Stop bothering me!" Gao Fei shouted angrily.

Shangguan Yunyue continued to stare at Gao Fei, still without a word.

Gao Fei curled his lip, "What are you looking at me for? If you have something to say, just say it! Don't pull those tricks on me! They won't work!"

"What is this place..." Shangguan Yunyue finally spoke, her voice hoarse.

"You're asking me? Who should I ask then?" Gao Fei retorted irritably. "I'm quite perplexed myself."

"You don't know?" Shangguan Yunyue furrowed her brow.

"Know what?" Gao Fei scoffed. "I don't know anything!"

"Uh..." Shangguan Yunyue's complexion suddenly flushed, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, then staggered and fell to the ground, her chest heaving violently and her breathing uneven.

"What's wrong with you?" Gao Fei was stunned. "Are you injured?" He inspected Shangguan Yunyue up and down and realized that her condition was extremely dire, seeming like a patient on their last breath.

"Cough cough cough..." Shangguan Yunyue coughed violently a few times, then raised her head to glare at Gao Fei, "Even if I'm injured, I can still kill you! Don't believe me? Just try it!"

"It looks like you're quite seriously injured," Gao Fei's eyes twirled mischievously. "You probably can't even stand up right now, can you?" Gao Fei's words were purely a test for Shangguan Yunyue.

"Who says I can't stand up!" Struggling to prop herself up with her hands, Shangguan Yunyue ground her teeth and slowly got to her feet, "Come on, fight me... cough cough cough..." She couldn't even finish her sentence without descending into a fit of coughing.

Gao Fei's eyes narrowed, a smirk forming on his lips, "Alright, stop pretending! You think you can fight me in your current state? I could beat you with just one hand!"

"You..."

"What about me? If I'm not mistaken, you're in very bad shape. Even a three-year-old child could easily defeat you!"

"You... if you dare, then come over here..."

"Alright, I'm coming over now!" Gao Fei strode forward.
