My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 550 - 547: Soul Unsettled

What should I do?

Just give up?

No!

I absolutely cannot give up! How dare a mere Chiliarch challenge me? If I don't retaliate harshly, I will surely become the laughingstock of others.

Sitting in a chair with a teacup in his hand, Dong Feitian's brows were tightly furrowed, "I could send an assassin to murder Gao Fei, and Gao Fei could do the same to me... I must strengthen my guard during this time."

Several days later, Dong Feitian was ambushed and barely escaped with his life using a Teleportation Talisman, after which he went into hiding and dared not show himself again.

The Great Demon, Immortal Master Huang, searched for half a month but could not find Dong Feitian and could only leave huffing angrily in the end.

...

After returning to the military camp, the Great Demon, Immortal Master Huang, reported the events to Gao Fei.

"Another Teleportation Talisman?" Gao Fei furrowed his brow.

"That Dong Feitian is incredibly cunning. The moment he saw me, he crushed the Teleportation Talisman. I didn't even have time to act," complained Immortal Master Huang with frustration.

"Although Dong Feitian has escaped with his life, he has been terrified out of his wits and won't dare to provoke me again for a while," said Gao Fei. "However... Dong Feitian must be eliminated. He is a hidden danger if left alive."

"He's gone into hiding. We can't find him at all."

"Hmph!" Gao Fei snorted coldly, "He can hide for a while, but not forever! He will show his face sooner or later!" Continuing, Gao Fei paused, "Let it be for now. Once Dong Feitian shows up again, go and kill him. This time, you can't let him escape."

Immortal Master Huang nodded vigorously, "Rest assured, I will certainly help you kill Dong Feitian."

After a few more words, Immortal Master Huang left.

Before long, Immortal Master Huang returned, "Uh... there's something I want to discuss with you..."

"What is it?" Gao Fei asked curiously. He rarely saw Immortal Master Huang speak with hesitation.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Speak."

"Years ago, when I was traveling abroad, I discovered an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling, but to my frustration, the dwelling was surrounded by a very sophisticated Formation. After studying it for a long time without being able to decipher it, I could only leave reluctantly."

"You may have the wrong person," Gao Fei shook his head. "I am not good at decoding Formations."

"Since I have come to you, I believe you have the ability to break the Formation."

"Why do you have such confidence in me?"

"Because you have something."

"Something? What something?" Gao Fei raised an eyebrow and asked.

Staring into Gao Fei's eyes, Immortal Master Huang said word by word, "Li Fire." Immortal Master Huang had seen Gao Fei use Li Fire with his own eyes a few days ago. From that day, he had been coveting it and had held back until now.

Gao Fei's brows slightly knitted, "Li Fire can break Formations?"

"Yes," Immortal Master Huang nodded without hesitation, "Li Fire is the number one flame in the Mortal World, terrifyingly powerful, and it can definitely break Formations." After saying this, Immortal Master Huang added, "In this world, the Formations that can withstand the burning of Li Fire... are nearly nonexistent."

Gao Fei fell into silence.

"I won't ask for your help for nothing," Immortal Master Huang said. "Once we break the Formation and enter the cave, we can split the findings inside... half and half."

Gao Fei remained silent.

"I really had no other choice but to come to you," Immortal Master Huang looked at Gao Fei with a hopeful expression. "Please, you must help me with this."

"Where is the cave dwelling?" Gao Fei finally spoke.

"Demon Realm." Immortal Master Huang said urgently.

"What?" Gao Fei's eyebrows, which had just relaxed, furrowed once again, "In the Demon Realm?" Gao Fei deeply rejected the very idea of the Demon Realm.

"Yes, it's in the Demon Realm," Immortal Master Huang nodded, "The Demon Realm isn't as bad as you imagine. Apart from the environment which can't compare with the Human Territory, other aspects are pretty much the same."

"...Is there a treasure inside the cave abode?"

"Definitely! If there were no treasures, why would a formation be set up around the cave abode? Moreover, it's an extremely ingenious formation."

"After entering the cave abode, we'll split the items inside equally?"

"Yes."

"I need to think it over properly."

"Okay, take your time to consider. Once you've made a decision, come find me. Whether you agree or not, I won't hold it against you." After saying this, Immortal Master Huang turned and left.

After seeing off Immortal Master Huang, Gao Fei fell into deep thought. To tell the truth, he was quite interested in the cave abode mentioned by Immortal Master Huang, it was just that... he didn't want to go to the Demon Realm... If he refused, Immortal Master Huang would definitely be displeased, and the relationship they had just started building might fracture.

Maybe...take a trip?

With Immortal Master Huang by his side for protection, he most likely wouldn't face any danger.

"Let's have a look then!" Gao Fei finally made up his mind. Taking a trip outside and experiencing the world could benefit his mental cultivation. The next morning, Gao Fei found Immortal Master Huang and shared his decision. Immortal Master Huang was delighted upon hearing it, and after discussing it, they decided to set off for the Demon Realm in three days.

...

Piaomiao Palace.

Central Grand Hall.

An extremely beautiful woman in a long dress was sitting on a cushioned couch, her hands propping up her cheeks, staring blankly ahead. This woman was none other than the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace, Shangguan Yunyue.

"What is wrong with me?"

"Why do I keep thinking about Gao Fei involuntarily?"

"Even my dreams at night are filled with him."

"Mother once said that if a woman constantly thinks about a man, it means she has fallen for him."

"Could it be... that I've fallen for Gao Fei?"

"No, no, no! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could I possibly like him?"

"Gao Fei has neither the looks, the status, the position, nor the strength. How could I, who am so proud and arrogant, ever take interest in him? That's utterly impossible!"

"But...why have I been unable to stop thinking about him recently?"

"Argh... this is so frustrating, what on earth is wrong with me... who can tell me... what exactly is going on..."

Shangguan Yunyue looked very distressed.

"Palace Master." A man with an extraordinary presence walked in, with sword-like eyebrows and cool eyes, a tall figure, walking firmly and composedly, the Vice Palace Master Nangong Qi.

"Oh, you've come." Shangguan Yunyue lifted her head and glanced at Nangong Qi, "What brings you here?"

"Palace Master..." Nangong Qi stopped, silently regarding Shangguan Yunyue, "I've noticed that you've been distracted lately, often sitting alone in a daze... Has something happened?" Nangong Qi was quite observant.

"Really?" Shangguan Yunyue feigned surprise, "I haven't been daydreaming. Nor have I been absent-minded; you must have seen wrong."

Seeing Shangguan Yunyue deny it, Nangong Qi was speechless for a moment.

"Has it been peaceful outside recently?" Shangguan Yunyue changed the subject abruptly.

"Quite peaceful," Nangong Qi nodded. "Although... a couple of days ago, the Human Emperor issued an edict ordering the soldiers to band together and conduct a comprehensive crackdown on bandits." Nangong Qi was very clear in his mind that the so-called bandits were created by the major Sects and noble families, aiming to disrupt the order of the Human Territory, then take advantage of the chaos to seek greater benefits. Piaomiao Palace had also participated in this.
