My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 530 - 527: Mysterious Space (Part 4)

Under the dim overcast sky.

Gao Fei held Shangguan Yunyue tightly as he desperately fled, with a band of savages brandishing various weapons in hot pursuit. They howled as they chased, shouting things Gao Fei couldn't understand.

"If my cultivation hadn't been lost, I would've been able to kill these savages with just one hand," Shangguan Yunyue, lying in Gao Fei's arms, suddenly said. "No, just one finger would've sufficed to wipe them out!"

"Nonsense." Gao Fei curled his lip. "It's precisely because our cultivation is gone that we're running for our lives." He added, "But then again, if you hadn't lost your cultivation, I wouldn't have had the chance to bully you, so you see… every situation has a bright and a dark side, depending on how you look at it."

"Ao ao ao..."

The savages in pursuit suddenly leaped up, hurling their weapons.

Stones, sticks, bones... they sliced through the sky, whistling toward Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue.

"Not good!" Gao Fei felt a strong sense of danger. He lay down on the ground with Shangguan Yunyue, then rolled swiftly away, "Swoosh swoosh swoosh!" Over a dozen stones grazed his scalp and flashed by, "Thump thump thump..." sticks and bones fell from the sky, hitting the ground where Gao Fei had just been.

"Thump!"

"Ugh!"

Although Gao Fei tried his best to dodge, his back was still struck by a bone, the burning pain causing him to cry out involuntarily, "These barbarians! Once I regain my strength, I'm definitely going to give them a good thrashing!" After rolling for several tens of meters, Gao Fei got up and sprinted away, his hair and clothes covered in dried grass and dust, his clothes torn in several places, appearing exceedingly disheveled.

Shangguan Yunyue fared slightly better than Gao Fei; her body was only smeared with some dust and she was unharmed, mainly because of Gao Fei's protection.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A large river suddenly appeared ahead.

"We're saved!" Gao Fei's eyes lit up. "Indeed, Heaven doesn't seal off all exits! Hahaha..." Gao Fei sped up toward the river.

"What do you think you're doing...ah..." Before Shangguan Yunyue could finish, she saw Gao Fei leap into the air, tumble in mid-flight, and then... landed in the water, the icy chill instantly enveloping Shangguan Yunyue, "Ah!!!" Shangguan Yunyue couldn't help but scream out loud.

"What are you screaming for!" Gao Fei glared at Shangguan Yunyue. "You scared the hell out of me!"

"I... I can't swim..." Shangguan Yunyue said shivering, accustomed to flying over mountains and rivers, she was overwhelmed by fear now that she had lost her cultivation and become an ordinary person.

"You can't swim?" Gao Fei laughed. "The esteemed Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace can't swim?"

"Who says the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace must know how to swim!" Shangguan Yunyue said with a pale face. "Let's get to the shore quickly... I feel uncomfortable in the water..."

"Get to shore?" Gao Fei twisted his mouth. "Are you really naive or just playing dumb? Why do you think I jumped into the water? Isn't it to avoid the savages' pursuit? Open your eyes and see clearly, those savages have already followed us and if we head to the shore now, they will definitely catch us... Damn, those savages have jumped in too, and they seem to be quite skilled at swimming..."

"We..."

"Shut up! Close your eyes! Hold your breath! Quick!"

"What are you doing..."

"Diving! Escaping by diving!"

"Div... Dive..." Shangguan Yunyue panicked, "No... We can't dive... I... I can't take it..."

"Those savages are about to catch up! There's no time!" Without waiting for Shangguan Yunyue to get ready, Gao Fei embraced her and dove underwater.

"Mmm..." Shangguan Yunyue swallowed a mouthful of water, her mouth agape, eyes wide, her arms and legs flailing incessantly...

Such a hassle! Gao Fei surfaced with Shangguan Yunyue, "Ah..." Shangguan Yunyue gasped for air, her emotions highly agitated, "What are you doing! Are you trying to drown me? You bastard! Bastard!!!" After catching her breath, Shangguan Yunyue began to curse at Gao Fei furiously.

"I warned you, okay? I told you to hold your breath, but you didn't take it seriously," Gao Fei felt wronged internally.

"I told you, I didn't want to dive..."

"Without diving, how can we escape the savages' pursuit? Look back, those savages have already caught up. If we don't act now, we'll be caught. I'm a man; it doesn't matter. They'll either beat me up or kill me, but you... it's different for you. You're a woman, and on top of that, very beautiful. Those savages will definitely..."

"Do we really have to dive?" Shangguan Yunyue was frightened by Gao Fei's words, knowing her fate would be dire if caught by the savages.

"Yes," Gao Fei nodded, "If you really don't want to dive..."

"Then what?" Shangguan Yunyue asked eagerly, thinking Gao Fei had a better plan, but his next words almost made her explode with anger.

"I'll have to leave you behind and escape alone by diving," Gao Fei said.

"You..." Shangguan Yunyue gasped for air, nearly suffocating from the shock. This bastard was shameless, cold-blooded, utterly inhumane.

"Make your decision quick." Gao Fei spoke impatiently, "Those savages are about to catch up."

Shangguan Yunyue took a look at the savages behind her, then at the river below, and finally, with no other choice, she nodded reluctantly, "Okay... I'll... dive..."

"Hold your breath! Take a deep breath, yes, just like that. Remember, try to hold it as long as you can. If you really can't hold it any longer, tap me with your hand. I'll surface to breathe," After these instructions, Gao Fei held Shangguan Yunyue and began to sink, the chilly river water gradually submerging their heads.

Shangguan Yunyue held her breath, her eyes tightly shut, her body stiff, not daring to move an inch.

Seeing Shangguan Yunyue's unmistakable fear, Gao Fei found it ridiculous. Shangguan Yunyue seemed strong, but in reality... she was just a little girl who became terrified at the slightest thing. Unable to speak underwater, Gao Fei could only mutter to himself internally.

He dove to the bottom of the river and swam swiftly. Every so often, Gao Fei changed direction, until eventually, even he became dizzy and could no longer tell north from south.

"Thud, thud!"

Gao Fei felt someone tapping his arm. He looked down and was startled. Shangguan Yunyue's face was deathly pale, her body rigid, her hands clutching his arm desperately... Gao Fei knew clear well that Shangguan Yunyue was running out of breath; that's why she was in so much distress. He kicked off from the riverbed and shot towards the surface with Shangguan Yunyue in his arms.
