My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 541 - 538 How Should I Deal with You

Beneath the dusky sky,

a large group of wild tribespeople were drenched in sweat as they constructed ladders, some transporting materials (wood and stone), and others responsible for the ladder building; the division of labor was clear, and the work was progressing quickly.

Gao Fei stood in the distance supervising, occasionally offering a word or two of guidance. Having been with these wild tribes for a while, Gao Fei could now speak a few simple words of their language. Beside him stood a woman, her long hair flowing, radiating youth and beauty—this woman was none other than Shangguan Yunyue.

"At this rate, I estimate it won't take more than a month to finish the job," Gao Fei said softly. The days without his cultivation had been too difficult to bear; Gao Fei wished he could sprout wings and fly away from this place at once, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

"Let's hope there are no unexpected occurrences," Shangguan Yunyue said. "We've been here for such a long time, I wonder how things are outside."

"Don't worry, we'll be able to leave soon," Gao Fei smiled. "You must be concerned about Piaomiao Palace. You really shouldn't worry though; Piaomiao Palace is the foremost sect in the Human Territory, with formidable strength and countless experts. Even without you presiding over it, chaos won't ensue."

Shangguan Yunyue turned to glance at Gao Fei, letting out a soft sigh: After leaving this place, how should I face him? Should I kill him? Or let him go? Or simply ignore him completely? In just a moment, Shangguan Yunyue's heart was in turmoil.

...

One month later.

The ladder was completed, and by climbing the steps one could reach the space crack at the top.

Several wild tribespeople carried the Bronze Coffin up the ladder, with Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue following behind them.

An hour later, the group of tribespeople carrying the Bronze Coffin reached the top. After setting the coffin down, they stepped aside and quietly waited for Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue.

A moment later, Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue arrived at the top, sweating at their temples and breathing somewhat rapidly.

"We've finally made it," Gao Fei looked up at the space crack, so close within reach, feeling a rush of excitement. After so much effort, they would finally be able to leave. Shangguan Yunyue was also thrilled, trembling slightly from the anxiety of the past days, having endured no small amount of hardship.

"You all go down now!" Gao Fei waved at the wild tribespeople standing to the side.

The tribespeople stood still, each wearing a look of reluctance on their faces; they seemed loath to let Gao Fei and Shangguan Yunyue leave.

"Go on down! If there's a chance in the future... I will come back to visit," Gao Fei said, feeling a tinge of reluctance himself. Men are not cold-hearted by nature! Having spent so many days with these tribespeople, he had formed an emotional attachment; but... he had to leave because this place was not where he belonged.

In the end, Gao Fei had no choice but to steel his heart and drive the tribespeople away.

Under Gao Fei's insistence, the tribespeople started to descend, looking back three steps for every one they took.

"Ah..." Gao Fei sighed softly. "It's quite ironic! Not long ago, we were enemies, being chased by them; now we've become good friends, truly, how unpredictable life can be."

"Let's go," Shangguan Yunyue urged. "It's time to leave this place."

"Just let me take one more look," Gao Fei scanned his surroundings once more, then turned and began to push the Bronze Coffin towards the space crack with all his might.

Shangguan Yunyue hurried to follow.

Before long, they entered the space crack.

After a dizzying whirl, the two fell out from the space crack.

"My cultivation has returned!"

"Mine too!"

"Hahaha... The feeling of restored cultivation is simply exhilarating!"

Gao Fei tucked away the shrunken Bronze Coffin, then somersaulted in midair, laughing uncontrollably with excitement.

Shangguan Yunyue was also very excited.

Once the two of them had calmed down, the atmosphere became awkward.

Their eyes locked, neither spoke a word.

In the end, Gao Fei couldn't help but break the silence, "Well… if you're free, why don't you come over to my place? I'll treat you to a big meal?"

Shangguan Yunyue looked at Gao Fei quietly, without saying anything.

"If you don't want to go, that's fine. You've been missing for so many days, Piaomiao Palace must be worried sick. You should hurry back and check in," Gao Fei continued.

Shangguan Yunyue still remained silent.

"When I have time, I'll come to visit you at Piaomiao Palace," Gao Fei said to himself.

"Gao Fei," Shangguan Yunyue finally spoke, her tone somewhat cold.

"Ah?" Gao Fei raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

"Do you know what I was just thinking?"

"How would I know? I'm not a mind reader," Gao Fei responded.

"I was thinking about whether I should kill you or not."

"Ah? You can't joke about that sort of thing, it could scare someone to death."

"Does it look like I'm joking?" Shangguan Yunyue's expression was very serious, her tone very cold.

"Er…" Gao Fei's mouth twitched, "So… what… what did you end up deciding? Are you going to kill me?" Actually, Gao Fei's question was quite redundant, if Shangguan Yunyue had wanted to kill him she would have already done so. The fact that she hadn't made a move showed she didn't want to kill him.

Shangguan Yunyue sighed lightly, "From now on, we'll be strangers. Forget everything that happened before! I won't recognize you, and you won't recognize me! Even if we meet again in the future, do not greet me!" After saying these words, Shangguan Yunyue turned and left quickly, not giving Gao Fei a chance to speak.

Watching Shangguan Yunyue's retreating figure, Gao Fei felt somewhat dejected, "How could I forget what happened? Shangguan Yunyue, Shangguan Yunyue, you obviously had feelings for me, why are you running away? Do you look down on me because my cultivation is low?"

No matter what! I won't give up on you!

You are my woman, and you will be for life!

When my cultivation improves, I will come to find you at Piaomiao Palace! Gao Fei vowed to himself.

After calming his tumultuous thoughts, Gao Fei took off into the sky.

...

"Sir, where have you been these past few days?"

"We were almost worried to death!" Chen San and Liu Qing hurried over, "If you hadn't come back, we were about to go out looking for you."

"I had to take care of some personal matters, it was so sudden that I didn't inform you all," Gao Fei gave a simple explanation, "Everything has been alright in the military camp while I've been away, right? Nothing bad happened, right?"

"No big issues, just a few minor incidents," Chen San said hesitantly.

"Minor incidents?" Gao Fei frowned, "What kind of minor incidents?"

"Um… let Liu Qing explain, he knows the details better than I do," Chen San passed the buck to Liu Qing.

Gao Fei turned to look at Liu Qing.

Liu Qing gave Chen San a glare before starting, "Here's what happened, a few days ago two soldiers went out and accidentally injured a young master. It was really just some superficial wounds, nothing serious, but this young master wouldn't let it go and called in a bunch of people to attack the two soldiers. They beat the soldiers to the brink of death… In the end, it was only because I found out and rushed over in time that I was able to save them… If I had been even a minute later, those two soldiers would certainly have been killed..."
