My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 540 - 537 Unusual Methods

"I may look cold on the outside, but I'm hot-blooded on the inside!" Gao Fei said seriously, "Strictly speaking, I'm a good person."

"A good person?" Shangguan Yunyue curled her lips, "If you're a good person, then there are no bad people left in this world."

"Enough of that useless talk, let's go find some help," Gao Fei waved his hand, "I have a plan in mind, and if we can pull it off, we'll definitely win over those savages. Then they'll help us build the ladder."

"What plan?"

"Really want to know?"

"Say it or don't!"

"Actually, it's pretty simple..." Gao Fei recounted his plan.

Shangguan Yunyue wore a skeptical expression, "Will that work?"

"Of course it will!" Gao Fei nodded confidently.

...

What is Gao Fei's plan? Don't worry, folks! The answer will be unveiled soon!

Within a valley.

A group of savages sat together eating raw meat, the scene dripping with blood and quite macabre.

"Huh?" One savage lifted his head in confusion, looking ahead with a frightened gaze.

"Ga?" The other savages also raised their heads, crying out in terror.

Thick smoke billowed ahead, and flickering flames could be barely seen. Both the smoke and the flames were alien to these savages, who had never seen such things before. Faced with the unknown, humans invariably feel fear.

"Hey!"

Gao Fei approached with a torch in hand, smiling, "Hello there!"

"Whoosh!"

Dozens of savages stood up, staring at Gao Fei with wary eyes.

"Don't be nervous." Gao Fei grinned, showing off his pearly white teeth, "I'm here to help! You see this torch in my hand? It's very useful. You can roast food with it, scare off ferocious beasts, and keep warm... Ah, what's the use of saying all this to you, you don't understand anyway!"

In the end, Gao Fei decided to give a demonstration.

He put the torch to the ground, "whoosh whoosh whoosh..." and the dry grass ignited, burning fiercely.

"Awooo..."

Dozens of savages howled in fear and quickly backed away.

"Don't be afraid! I come in peace!"

"Come here, come a bit closer, I really have no ill intent!"

"Why won't you believe me!"

"...I'm at a loss for words! You guys..."

Gao Fei had been bustling around for half a day, drenched in sweat. After countless demonstrations, the tribespeople's defenses finally began to lower, and a few of the bolder ones even moved closer to him.

"It's working!"

Gao Fei's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly used his own methods to gain the tribespeople's trust.

...

It took Gao Fei several days to completely win over the tribespeople's trust. Then he helped them roast food, fight off ferocious beasts, and keep warm, among other things.

When these tribespeople tasted the savory, steaming meat, they all became excited, dancing around with joy, completely overwhelmed. They had lived for so long and it was the first time they had tasted such delicious food. In the end... the tribespeople all overate and lay on the ground, clutching their round bellies with satisfied expressions on their faces.

Next up was using fire to drive away ferocious beasts. The ferocious animals scattered in terror at the sight of the fire, running away with their tails between their legs. The tribespeople chased after them with torches. With the torches, the difficulty of hunting ferocious beasts greatly decreased, and most importantly, the casualty rate of the tribespeople also drastically fell.

Then came keeping warm. They found a sheltered spot, lit a fire, and the tribespeople gathered in front of it to warm themselves, no longer fearing the cold.

Gao Fei also taught the tribespeople how to make clothing, turning animal hides into simple garments to wear, which kept them warm and protected their bodies.

These tribespeople started treating Gao Fei like an ancestor, giving him the best food, the finest fur clothing, and the best living quarters... In short, in the eyes of these tribespeople, Gao Fei was a deity to be revered and appreciated.

...

When night fell.

Several fire pits were lit in the valley, and dozens of tribespeople, holding roasted meat, jumped and danced around the fires, singing loudly and looking very happy.

Gao Fei sat on a rock, slowly nibbling on a chicken leg, "See? I've tamed these tribespeople! If I tell them to go east, they wouldn't dare to go west! If I tell them to catch chickens, they wouldn't dare to catch ducks!"

"You do have some tricks up your sleeve," Shangguan Yunyue remarked. "Outside, fire is a common thing. Here, it's the scarcest of resources. Gao Fei, you've changed their way of life. It probably won't be long before they form their own system of living."

"Starting from tomorrow, I'll reach out to other tribespeople and bring them all here to help improve their lives. Once they fully trust me, I'll have them build ladders," Gao Fei said with a smile. "Once the ladders are built, we'll be able to get out."

"Turning the impossible into possible, that's your skill," Shangguan Yunyue commented.

"From your tone, it seems you're a bit in awe of me?" Gao Fei chuckled. "Could it be that you're falling for me?"

"Give you a little favor, and you forget yourself," Shangguan Yunyue huffed. "I shouldn't be nice to you in the future!"

After spending some time together, Shangguan Yunyue's impression of Gao Fei had slowly changed, from initial annoyance to current admiration, even developing a slight fondness for him. Sometimes she would be surprised at herself - how could she have started to feel fondness for Gao Fei? It shouldn't be!

In Shangguan Yunyue's eyes, Gao Fei had many flaws: narcissism, arrogance, trouble-making, frivolous talk, thick-skinned... The most important point was that Gao Fei had stolen the number one treasure of the Piaomiao Palace, the Earth Core Flame; logically, Shangguan Yunyue should hold a grudge against him, but... she just couldn't muster it?

What is going on with me? I couldn't possibly be falling for Gao Fei, could I? Once this thought came, it lingered, causing Shangguan Yunyue a great deal of distress.

Impossible!

How could I possibly fall for Gao Fei? That's absolutely impossible!

Gao Fei, this guy, has no looks, no status, no position, no cultivation... I would definitely not fall for him!

Shangguan Yunyue kept telling herself in her mind: I hate Gao Fei! I hate him! I hate him! I hate him! I despise him! I absolutely couldn't like him! Impossible!!!

Humans are emotional creatures. When two people spend a lot of time together, they're bound to develop feelings, especially between a man and a woman, it's easy for love to arise! When love comes, you can't avoid it! In the end, you can only accept it!
