My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 538 - 535: Feelings Can Be Cultivated

In the dim cave.

Shangguan Yunyue sat on the icy ground, her complexion pale, her expression somewhat sorrowful.

Gao Fei stood to one side, quietly watching Shangguan Yunyue.

"Tell me honestly, do you have the Earth Core Flame or not?" Shangguan Yunyue asked in a calm tone.

"This..."

"I hope you'll tell the truth."

"About that... how should I say this!" Gao Fei hesitated for a moment, "Alright, I'll tell you! In Piaomiao Palace, I indeed encountered a flame..." Originally, Gao Fei didn't want to admit it, but now... he and Shangguan Yunyue had somehow become intimately involved, and Gao Fei felt some remorse towards Shangguan Yunyue, and could not bear to deceive her any longer.

"Where is it? Bring it out for me to see!" Shangguan Yunyue's tone became somewhat urgent, "Where did you hide the Earth Core Flame? I also have another question, how did you manage to steal the Earth Core Flame?"

"Don't be anxious, let me explain it to you slowly," Gao Fei said, "Here's what happened, I unintentionally obtained a cluster of Li Fire..." Gao Fei then gave a detailed account of the events.

"What did you say!" Shangguan Yunyue's eyes widened in shock, "The Earth Core Flame was... devoured by the Li Fire?"

Gao Fei nodded, "Yes."

"You're talking nonsense!" Shangguan Yunyue became agitated, "Li Fire is the foremost flame in the Mortal World, a legendary Spiritual Fire, it's impossible for you to obtain it!"

"In fact, I did obtain the Li Fire," Gao Fei said.

"Impossible... that's impossible..."

"Do I have any reason to lie to you? I know you're unwilling to believe this! But... what I'm saying is the truth! If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it!" Saying this, Gao Fei shrugged his shoulders, making a helpless gesture.

"Show me the Li Fire then!"

"I'd really like to show you, but I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because the Li Fire is hidden within my body and requires Divine Sense to connect with... but my cultivation is completely gone now, and I can't use my True Qi or Divine Sense..."

"..."

"How about this, if we can leave this place and I can recover my cultivation, I will show you the Li Fire, and then you'll know that I'm telling the truth," Gao Fei paused for a moment, "Are you done speaking? If so, let me say a few words."

"What do you want to say?" Shangguan Yunyue asked coldly.

"About the matter between the two of us..."

"What could there possibly be between us before this?"

"We've shared the intimacy of husband and wife, accidental though it was, but I still need to take responsibility for you. So, once we get out, I'll marry you. If you can't wait, we can establish our status now. However, I need to make one thing clear, I do have wives outside, and more than one at that, and I hope you won't get jealous and will be able to live in peace with them..."

"Don't even dream about it," Shangguan Yunyue snorted coldly, "I would rather marry a pig than marry you."

"You..."

"Don't think that just because we have been intimate, I have to marry you! That's impossible!"

"You..."

"I'll say it just once! Listen closely because I will never marry you! Not now, not ever, not in a million years! Just get that out of your head!"

"Don't speak so absolutely. Just because you don't like me now, doesn't mean you won't like me in the future. Feelings can be cultivated, you know."

"Between you and me, there is only hatred, and that will never change into affection."

"You never can tell!"

"I said it's impossible and it is impossible!"

"All right, let's not argue about this anymore!" Gao Fei waved his hand dismissively, "Time is on our side, we have plenty of opportunities to cultivate feelings. Once you fall hopelessly in love with me, you won't leave even if I ask you to."

"Shameless." Shangguan Yunyue cursed, "You are the most shameless person I've ever met."

"Say whatever you want; it won't bother me." Gao Fei chuckled, "Such a pity, really! It's such a waste!"

"What is such a pity?"

"It's a pity that we were both unconscious and muddled through that thing without any memory of it. If we hadn't been unconscious..."

"Shut up!" Shangguan Yunyue glared, grinding her teeth, "Shameless man! Knowing you is my disgrace, the disgrace of my life!"

"It's a disgrace now, but it will be happiness later."

"What did you say!"

"I said I'm hungry and need to go out to find something to eat!" Gao Fei turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"How infuriating! How hateful! Shameless! Jerk!" Shangguan Yunyue cursed several times, "My bad luck, to run into such a shameless man! My hundreds of years of guarded purity, ruined by him just like that, it's unbearable!" Deep down, Shangguan Yunyue looked down on Gao Fei. To describe it in one sentence, Shangguan Yunyue was the high and mighty Phoenix, whereas Gao Fei was a commoner chicken unworthy of attention; the disparity between them was just too great.

Heaven really knows how to play tricks on people!

"Let's just consider it a nightmare," Shangguan Yunyue sighed softly.

After about half an hour, Gao Fei came back, all excited, carrying a roe deer, "We have something to eat today! I caught a roe deer; it's quite big and should be enough for the two of us." Gao Fei expertly started a fire and began roasting the meat, and before long, the aroma wafted through the air.

Once cooked, Gao Fei tore off a piece of meat and handed it to Shangguan Yunyue, "Come on, eat it while it's hot."

Shangguan Yunyue ignored Gao Fei.

"Don't be mad!" Gao Fei said, "You need to fill your belly to have the strength to find a way out. Don't you want to leave this place? Don't you want to seek revenge on me? Don't you care about Piaomiao Palace anymore? What about your family and friends; do you not care about them either?"

Moved by Gao Fei's words, Shangguan Yunyue slowly reached out and took the roasted meat, eating it little by little.

"That's the spirit." Gao Fei smiled, "Never be mad at yourself. Because it's your own body, and if you really get sick from anger, it's not worth it."

"Crackle crackle!"

The fire crackled and popped, a rhythmic sound filling the air.

"I used to be just an ordinary person," Gao Fei wiped the grease from his mouth, "as ordinary as they come, living each day in a dull routine, working hard to earn money by day, staying in a cramped room at night. Later, I had a girlfriend whom I really liked, but in the end... we broke up, or more precisely, I got dumped. The reason was simple; she thought I was too poor and that she couldn't have a good life with me, so she left me. At that time, I was heartbroken, I even wanted to kill myself..."

"By a stroke of luck, I started on the path to Cultivate Immortality, stumbling along the way, and encountering many dangers, but somehow I always managed to survive."

"As long as I'm not dead, I will keep striving! My goal is to Ascend to the Immortal Realm and become an immortal! To roam the heavens and earth freely, never having to worry about my lifespan again!"

"Looking back, the journey has been incredibly tough."
