My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 529 - 526 Mysterious Space (Part 3)

"You bastard! You have no shame! You should be hacked to pieces!" Shangguan Yunyue cried even harder. She had led a life of luxury since childhood, adored by everyone, with every person she met behaving courteously and respectfully, especially men, who were even more amiable. No one had ever dared to contradict her, let alone bully her.

"Enough, stop crying," Gao Fei said, "You're driving me mad with your sobbing!"

"You don't want me to cry, so I'm going to cry even more!" Shangguan Yunyue cried, "May it annoy you to death!"

"All right, I won't bully you anymore." Gao Fei, who feared neither heaven nor earth, only feared a woman's tears. As soon as a woman started crying, he would wilt; in his eyes, a woman's tears were an incredible weapon, specifically designed to defeat a man.

"Wuu wuu wuu..." Shangguan Yunyue didn't stop crying, crying louder and more bitterly, with tears streaming down her face recklessly. It seemed she wanted to cry out all the grievances in her heart.

"You... are really... unreasonable!" Gao Fei said with a bitter smile, "I give up! Totally give up!" Seeing Shangguan Yunyue still crying, Gao Fei pretended to be fierce and threatened, "If you keep crying, I'll strip off your clothes and seriously deal with you!"

His threat seemed to have an effect; Shangguan Yunyue's crying got softer and eventually stopped.

Finally, she stopped crying! Gao Fei relaxed for a moment, but then frowned. He was considering how to deal with Shangguan Yunyue. Kill her? He felt reluctant to do so. Let her go? That would leave a big hidden danger. Imprison her? What if Shangguan Yunyue cried every day? Wouldn't that drive him insane?

Neither option was suitable, and Gao Fei was at a loss.

While Gao Fei was troubled, Shangguan Yunyue was also in distress, but her concerns were different from his. Gao Fei wondered how to deal with Shangguan Yunyue, while she pondered how to escape. Both were deep in their thoughts, neither speaking, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.

"You..."

"You..."

Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue spoke at the same time, both saying the same word.

"You go first," Gao Fei said with a scoff.

"I've thought about it carefully, and there might really be a misunderstanding between us... So, let me go, and I won't trouble you anymore... In the future, we'll go our separate ways, and even if we meet, we'll pretend not to know each other. What do you think?" After being intimidated by Gao Fei, Shangguan Yunyue finally compromised, aiming to get through the immediate danger first and, after leaving this dreadful place and recovering her cultivation, she would settle the score with Gao Fei.

Who was Gao Fei? How could he be so easily deceived? He scoffed, his smile neither here nor there, "That sounds nice, but I don't believe you."

"I am the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace, a Great Cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage! My word is as reliable as the Nine Cauldrons; once I say something, it's like water that's been spilled, I absolutely won't go back on my word," Shangguan Yunyue declared earnestly, "If you don't believe me, you can go out and inquire about my reputation."

"Others are others, I am me. Others might trust you, but I don't," Gao Fei scoffed.

"I swear! I'll take a deadly oath. Surely that will suffice?" Shangguan Yunyue yielded yet another step.

"I never believe in oaths," Gao Fei shook his head, "Many people have sworn deadly oaths and then broke their promises, and in the end, they are still alive and well, without the deadly oaths coming to pass."

"You..." Shangguan Yunyue took a deep breath to suppress the anger rising in her chest and tried to speak in an even tone, "Then you tell me what to do. How must I act for you to believe me? Set the terms, and as long as I can do it, I will agree to your conditions."

"Terms, huh..." Gao Fei stroked his smooth chin, momentarily unsure of how to deal with Shangguan Yunyue.

"Either kill me or let me go," Shangguan Yunyue said, "If you kill me, your conscience won't be clear, and you'll face furious pursuit from Piaomiao Palace. If you let me go, I'll give you some benefits."

"I'm telling you, actually…" Gao Fei started to speak when suddenly he heard a very strange noise. "What's that sound?" Gao Fei turned around in surprise, "That is…"

A group of people was coming from the northwest direction, wrapped in beast hides, holding stones, wood, and bones in their hands, with messy hair and staggering gait. They looked just like a group of uncivilized savages, and in fact, they were a group of savages! They led a brutal, bloody life, hunting Ferocious Beasts during the day, and at night, gathering around a fire to eat meat, with the skins they peeled off crafted into clothing they wrapped around themselves.

"Oh..."

The savages started to shout loudly, running swiftly as they did so, getting closer to Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue with each passing minute. Their eyes sparkled, and they danced around excitedly, as if they considered Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue their prey.

"Not good!" Gao Fei's face changed, and he turned to run. With his Cultivation completely lost, he was no match for a group of savages. Staying would only lead to danger. After taking a couple of steps, Gao Fei suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and bent over to pick up Shangguan Yunyue before hurrying away.

"Why are you taking me with you!" Shangguan Yunyue asked coldly, "Don't you hate me? Let those savages kill me!"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course!"

"Because I can't bear it."

"You can't bear it?"

"Yes, I can't bear to see you suffer at the hands of the savages." Gao Fei sighed, "At the end of the day, I am just too soft-hearted!"

"Enough, don't flatter yourself." Shangguan Yunyue snorted coldly, "You definitely have an ulterior motive for saving me! Out with it, what's your purpose?"

"Believe it or not." Gao Fei pursed his lips, "Either way, my conscience is clear!" With that, he added, "These days, it's hard to be a good person." Gao Fei kept talking to Shangguan Yunyue while running as fast as he could. Soon, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing grew rapid.

Shangguan Yunyue might be a woman, but she weighed over a hundred jin. Gao Fei, having lost his Cultivation, was certainly exhausted running while carrying Shangguan Yunyue.

"Aaaww..."

"Gibberish gibberish…"

Dozens of savages chased after them, shouting their strange words that Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue couldn't understand at all.

"I mean, what do you eat to grow so heavy? Surely you're over two hundred jin! Heavier than a pig!" Gao Fei gasped.

"Stop talking nonsense." Shangguan Yunyue retorted, "You're the pig! I weigh at most a hundred jin! It's your own weakness, but you blame me for being heavy."

"A hundred jin? Quit lying." Gao Fei didn't believe her at all, "People should be honest! Don't lie!"

"…Believe it or don't, I am a hundred jin." Shangguan Yunyue huffed.

"Just a heads-up for you." Gao Fei said, "If I can't keep going, I'll have to drop you, so you can't blame me if that happens." He paused for a moment, "Carrying you this long, I've done my duty. Anyone else would have dropped you by now." Gao Fei was speaking his mind, indicating that he chose to keep carrying Shangguan Yunyue while escaping. Any other man wouldn't have had the heart to do so.
