My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 531 - 528 Mysterious Space (Part 5)

"Splash!" went the sound.

Two heads popped up on the surface of the river.

"That's it, we can breathe now." Gao Fei patted Shangguan Yunyue on the head, "You did pretty well just now, you deserve some praise." Gao Fei looked back and couldn't see Snaggletooth's shadow anymore; it seemed he had shaken off the wild man. Gao Fei's anxious heart finally settled down—escaping with Shangguan Yunyue, a burden, was truly not easy.

"Huff huff huff..."

Shangguan Yunyue opened her mouth wide, breathing in air vigorously. As air filled her lungs, her complexion slowly turned rosy. Underwater, she had been extremely tense and had thought for a moment that she was going to suffocate. Just when she had lost all hope, Gao Fei had suddenly burst through the surface with her in his arms. At that moment, Shangguan Yunyue felt the air was so wonderful, so enchanting.

"Where's Snaggletooth?" Shangguan Yunyue asked.

"We've lost him."

"Lost him? Does that mean we're safe now?"

"Yes, we're safe," nodded Gao Fei, "at least for the moment."

"Then let's get to the shore..."

"Don't rush; let's soak a bit longer."

"You..."

"Haha, just kidding. Look how scared you got," Gao Fei laughed heartily as he swam towards the shore.

What a jerk! Shangguan Yunyue cursed inwardly. Gao Fei was an absolute, complete jerk! Meeting him was the most unfortunate thing in her life!

"Ah, finally on land," Gao Fei stood on the shore and let out a long breath.

"Can you put me down now," Shangguan Yunyue said coldly.

"Don't be hasty, let me hold you a little longer... Don't glare at me, I'm joking." With that, Gao Fei released his arms. Seeing Shangguan Yunyue getting angry always gave him particular pleasure.

Shangguan Yunyue glared fiercely at Gao Fei, then turned and walked away.

"Hey, where are you going?" Gao Fei called out.

"None of your business," Shangguan Yunyue huffed, "I'll go wherever I want, you don't need to worry about it! You can't control me!"

"Hey!" Gao Fei didn't like hearing that: "Biting the hand that feeds you, huh? I just saved your life, and you can't even thank me, instead giving me attitude. Unbelievable." Seeing Shangguan Yunyue walking further away, Gao Fei shouted, "Be careful of Snaggletooth! If you get caught, I won't come to save you."

At the mention of "Snaggletooth," Shangguan Yunyue's body stiffened, and she could no longer move her feet.

"Why've you stopped?" Gao Fei grinned, "Are you scared?"

Shangguan Yunyue found a clean spot and sat down, then pulled her wet hair back behind her head, "I'm hungry."

"Huh? What did you say?" Gao Fei blinked, "You're hungry?"

"I'm hungry." Shangguan Yunyue said expressionlessly, "Go find me something to eat." Without her Cultivation, Shangguan Yunyue had become an ordinary person. After exhausting a lot of physical strength, she felt very hungry, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.

"Why should I find food for you?" Gao Fei huffed, "Why don't you go yourself? I'm not obligated to serve you!"

"Because you're a man."

"What's wrong with being a man?"

"Men are supposed to take care of women!"

"Where did that rule come from? Who decided that men have to take care of women? Tell me, who decided that?"

"I decided!"

"You...your skin is really thick. I've lived for so many years and this is the first time I've met a woman with skin as thick as yours."

"Say whatever you want, but you're going to find food."

"I'm not going."

"Really not going?"

"If I say I'm not going, then I'm not going!" Gao Fei said with determination, "I'm really tired now and want to sleep. I don't have time to care about you." With those words, Gao Fei found a flat place to lie down, his arms beneath his head, he closed his eyes and began to sleep. Huh? Why is there no sound? Gao Fei slowly opened a slit in his eyes and looked towards Shangguan Yunyue, uh... why is she crying?

Shangguan Yunyue sat on a rock, her head drooping, her eyes red, and tears falling drip by drip.

Damn it! She's crying again! They say women are made of water, and it couldn't be more true!

"I say..." Gao Fei sat up, grinning through Snaggletooth, "Why are you crying! If you're hungry, go find something to eat! What's the use of crying here?"

Shangguan Yunyue just kept shedding tears, completely ignoring Gao Fei.

"You...you're completely unreasonable! Unreasonable!!" Gao Fei stood up flinging his sleeve: "Alright, I'm scared of you now! Stop crying, I'm going to find something to eat right now!" After saying that, Gao Fei walked away furiously, muttering to himself as he went, his voice too low to make out what he was saying, but one could guess it was definitely nothing pleasant.

No sooner had Gao Fei left than Shangguan Yunyue stopped crying, her lips curving up in a smirk, her eyes revealing a triumphant look. Little did he know, I can handle him! Shangguan Yunyue knew Gao Fei hated to see women cry, so she began to brew emotions, think of more sad things, then her eyes reddened, and tears flowed out... The hardest step is the first one, but once started, everything else gets easier. It has to be said, Shangguan Yunyue had the talent to be a movie star.

As Shangguan Yunyue had guessed, when Gao Fei saw her cry, he immediately became irritable and then... obediently went to find food.

It took a long while before Gao Fei finally staggered back, carrying two pheasants in his hand.

"Why did you take so long? I'm almost starving to death!" Shangguan Yunyue yelled, "You definitely did it on purpose!"

"I went a long way before I found these two pheasants, and then it took a lot of effort to catch them." Gao Fei snorted, "Look at the injury on my arm; it's from the pheasants' scratches."

"Stop talking crap and hurry up to light a fire and roast the pheasants."

"Who said we're roasting pheasants? Just pluck their feathers clean, and you can eat them raw."

"You want me to eat them raw? You jerk!"

"Honestly, you look so funny when you're angry! Hehe... stop glaring, don't worry, and don't get mad, I was just teasing you." Gao Fei put down the pheasants, then started to gather dry twigs and leaves, piling them together... now came the headache, how to start a fire?

If his Cultivation hadn't vanished, he could easily use a Spell to start a fire, but now... with no Cultivation, Spells couldn't be cast and he didn't have any fire-making tools on him...

After pondering for a long time, Gao Fei decided to emulate the ancients and try fire-by-friction.

It must be said, humans are really clever, even thinking up something as incredible as using friction to start a fire. Truly amazing.

First, he found a piece of dry wood, then he found a twig about the thickness of a finger, whittled one end of it to a point, held the twig in both hands and started to drill into the wood with the pointed end, his hands rubbing forcefully, "squeak, squeak..." The drilling of the wood with the twig produced a sound that made one's teeth tingle.

"What are you doing?" Shangguan Yunyue was baffled by Gao Fei's actions.
