My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 532 - 529: Mysterious Space (Part 6)

"Drilling wood to make fire, huh," Gao Fei said offhandedly.

"Drilling wood? To make fire?" Shangguan Yunyue's face showed a skeptical expression, "Where did you learn that from?"

"I learned it from the ancients."

"The ancients? Eh? It's smoking!"

"Keep your eyes wide open! A miracle is about to happen!" As soon as Gao Fei finished speaking, a string of sparks shot out from beneath the branches, igniting the dry leaves piled beside them, "Hahaha...I really am a genius!!!" The flames grew stronger, and within moments, they had formed a large fire. Gao Fei skillfully plucked the feathers from a wild chicken, cleaned out its innards, then skewered it with a stick and set it over the fire to roast.

Sitting beside him, Shangguan Yunyue wore a look of surprise. It was her first time witnessing the creation of fire from drilling wood.

"Unfortunately, no seasonings. Otherwise, it would taste even better," Gao Fei sighed.

"Be content," Shangguan Yunyue pursed her lips, "Having anything to eat is already good enough."

"Alright, it's done roasting." Gao Fei handed one of the wild chickens to Shangguan Yunyue, "Come, try my handiwork."

Shangguan Yunyue tore off a small piece of chicken and chewed on it, "Mmm, it's passable."

"Passable?" Gao Fei was unhappy to hear that, "Let me tell you, with my cooking skills, if I became a chef, I'd definitely be snapped up by the restaurants."

"Boasting without a draft," Shangguan Yunyue snorted softly.

"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth," Gao Fei added some dry branches to the fire, then sat down to gnaw on the chicken, his eating manners far from elegant. He smacked his lips as he ate and occasionally licked the grease that dripped onto his hand.

"One can tell the quality of a person by the way they eat," Shangguan Yunyue disdainfully said, "If you're rude when eating, your quality is probably also poor."

"Does eating also not shut your mouth?" Gao Fei swallowed the bite of chicken he had in his mouth and said irritably, "Don't forget, the wild chicken in your hand was caught by me and roasted by me. Even if you're not grateful, you shouldn't badmouth me, should you?"

"Hmph! Don't think just because you roasted a wild chicken for me that I would be grateful to you. Don't even think about it."

"And you say I have no quality? You have quality?"

"Even if I don't have quality, it's still higher than yours."

"Go away and play by yourself, with your standards? And you still claim to have a higher quality than me?"

The two of them continued to bicker even after they finished eating the chicken.

"Talking to you is purely a waste of time," Gao Fei tossed away the bones in his hand and stood up to walk away.

"Where are you going?" Shangguan Yunyue asked.

"I'm going to pee, do you want to follow along? I can give you a live performance, no charge, free viewing," Gao Fei said.

"You...you scoundrel!" Shangguan Yunyue's face turned red with anger, "Your existence is humanity's sorrow."

"If I'm humanity's sorrow, then you're humanity's tragedy," Gao Fei quipped, walking away with his hands behind his back and with a swagger.

"This bastard is so infuriating!" Shangguan Yunyue gnashed her teeth in frustration, "Don't give me the chance! Otherwise, I definitely won't spare you!" To be bullied by a man like this was the utmost humiliation for a palace master like her.

"Shasha shasha..."

Suddenly, a faint rustling noise came from behind.

"What's that sound?" Shangguan Yunyue sprang to her feet and looked behind her with a wary face.

"Swoosh!"

Three primitives wrapped in animal skins darted out from the woods.

"Ah?" Shangguan Yunyue's face changed drastically as she hurriedly turned to run away.

The three primitives were obviously stunned for a moment, then they howled and chased after her. They were out looking for food and had not expected to encounter Shangguan Yunyue.

Shangguan Yunyue was running desperately, but in the end, she was overtaken by the three primitives. After a brief struggle, she was knocked unconscious with a punch and then carried away by the primitives.

...

Where had Gao Fei gotten to? Could he really have gone to urinate?

Of course not!

Gao Fei had gone to look for a way out. He couldn't possibly be trapped here forever.

"This must be an independent space, right?" Gao Fei guessed to himself, "Spiritual Energy is nearly undetectable, the people living here definitely can't cultivate..." Thinking of the primitives, Gao Fei's brow furrowed slightly, "Since brutish primitives appeared, it indicates the living standard here is very low..."

"How did I end up here?"

"Oh heavens, are you playing with me? I haven't cursed at you lately!"

"There must be a way out, but where should I look?"

After roaming around for several hours, Gao Fei hadn't found an exit and could only return the way he came. Along the way, he encountered some strangely shaped beasts but managed to avoid them narrowly without actual peril.

"Being trapped here is already troublesome enough, and to have a burden by my side..." Gao Fei sighed inwardly. In his eyes, Shangguan Yunyue was a burden, a huge burden. Logically, discarding the burden would be the most intelligent thing to do, but... Gao Fei had a soft heart, he just couldn't do it.

The main reason was... there wasn't much hatred between Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue. Moreover, having sneaked into the Central Grand Hall of the Piaomiao Palace and stolen the Earth Core Flame, Gao Fei felt a twinge of guilt toward Shangguan Yunyue.

"Forget it, I might as well be the good guy through and through. As long as we don't encounter too much danger, I will bring Shangguan Yunyue along," Gao Fei resolved to himself.

Huh?

Where is she?

Why had Shangguan Yunyue disappeared?

Gao Fei quickly looked around: "That's right, this is the place! Why didn't Shangguan Yunyue just stay put, what's she running around for... Oh, what's that?" Gao Fei walked over, bent down, and picked up a bracelet made from crystal, very pretty: "This is Shangguan Yunyue's bracelet... how did it end up here? That's not good, Shangguan Yunyue must have encountered danger!" Gao Fei's expression changed, "Shangguan Yunyue would never casually throw away her bracelet, she must have run into danger!"

Gao Fei carefully examined the scene and found many more clues...

Not far ahead, there were signs of a struggle...

"Did she run into Ferocious Beasts or primitives?" Gao Fei frowned deeply. Whether it was a beast or primitive, neither was something Gao Fei could deal with. He hesitated internally, debating whether he should rescue Shangguan Yunyue.

If he went to the rescue, he would certainly face danger, and he might even risk his own life. If he didn't go to the rescue... his conscience wouldn't allow it...

Oh, this is killing me.

Gao Fei held his fist, pacing back and forth for a few steps: "Let it be! I must owe her from my last life, and now she's come to collect the debt in this one!" After a moment of consideration, Gao Fei decided to go rescue Shangguan Yunyue.

"Here are some footprints, very large in size, definitely not Shangguan Yunyue's... There are footsteps over there as well..."

As Gao Fei followed the footprints, he walked forward, covering several tens of miles without realizing it, and then he started hearing noisy voices up ahead.
