My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 576 - 573 Great Joy

Bai Daqing stared into Dongfang Jian's eyes, uttering every word deliberately, "Remember what you've said today! If you can't do it, I will make sure you die a miserable death."

"Dad, can't you stop scaring Dongfang Jian?" Bai Mudan, standing to the side, was displeased, "Dongfang Jian is the man I chose myself. I trust my own judgment; he will definitely not deceive me."

"Sometimes... what the eyes see may not be the truth..." Bai Daqing sighed heavily, "You've only known Dongfang Jian for a little over a month. Do you understand him? Do you know what kind of person he is? Aren't you afraid... that he is using you?"

"Some people may know each other for a lifetime, yet remain strangers, while others may become close friends who can talk about anything after just one day," Bai Mudan said, "That's fate! When fate arrives, happiness naturally follows."

"Fine, since you're determined to go your own way, then I... won't say anymore." Bai Daqing suddenly felt very tired, mainly emotionally, "From now on, take care of yourself."

"I've made up my mind. In ten days, I will marry Dongfang Jian."

"What did you say?" Bai Daqing's eyes widened, "Say that again to me!"

"In ten days, I'm going to marry Dongfang Jian."

"You... Marriage is not a child's play. You should think it over for a few more days..."

"Regardless of whether you agree or not, in ten days, I will marry Dongfang Jian," Bai Mudan stated decisively.

"You... you... you..." Bai Daqing glared at his daughter, his complexion extremely ugly.

"Dad, we're leaving," Bai Mudan said as she pulled Dongfang Jian away from the hall.

"Bang!"

Bai Daqing slammed his palm onto the table. The solid wood table instantly shattered into pieces, "You're driving me mad! This is sheer ignorance, foolishness!"

...

Now, let's talk about Gao Fei's situation.

To avoid Bai Mudan's entanglement, Gao Fei left the military camp and found a remote place to hide.

Using stones, he built a small hut and then sat inside to cultivate.

"Hum!"

Gao Fei's body trembled, then slowly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam fleeting across his gaze.

"Finally, I've advanced to the Soul Out of Aperture Stage," Gao Fei laughed heartily, "It wasn't easy at all!"

After entering the Soul Out of Aperture Stage, Gao Fei had changed entirely. His appearance became more handsome, his aura stronger, even growing slightly taller. The Dantian and meridians within his body underwent massive changes... In short, Gao Fei reaped many benefits.

Qi Gathering Stage and Inedia Stage cultivators are considered Low Rank, Golden Core and Nascent Soul are Middle Rank, Soul Out of Aperture and Unity of Heaven and Man are High Rank, with Transcendance Tribulation Stage belonging to the special class of cultivators. Now, Gao Fei had stepped into the ranks of High Rank cultivators.

"With my current cultivation, I am fully qualified for the position of Chiliarch," Gao Fei smiled.

At Qi Gathering Stage, one serves as a common soldier. At Inedia Stage, one can be a Decurion, at Golden Core Stage a Centurion, at Nascent Soul Stage a Chiliarch, at Soul Out of Aperture Stage a Wan Fuchang, Unity of Heaven and Man qualifies one to be a City Lord, and at Transcendance Tribulation Stage, one can vie for the throne of Human Emperor.

People often said that Gao Fei wasn't qualified to be a Wan Fuchang because he was at the Nascent Soul Stage. Now, with his advancement to the Soul Out of Aperture Stage, no one could find fault with him anymore.

"Having been away for so long, I wonder how things are outside?"

"Bai Mudan should have left, right?"

"Let's go out and see! If Bai Mudan hasn't left, then I'll continue hiding."

Gao Fei stealthily returned to the military camp. Only after confirming that Bai Mudan had indeed left did he confidently reveal himself.

"My lord, you've finally returned."

"We've been so worried about you during this time."

Chen San and Liu Qing hurried over: "Eh? My lord... you... have you been promoted?" It was only upon drawing closer that the two men noticed the change in Gao Fei.

Gao Fei cracked a slight smile: "That's right, I've advanced to the Soul Out of Aperture Stage."

"Oh my, this is indeed a cause for celebration, a grand cause for celebration! We must celebrate properly! I'll go prepare a banquet right now; let's have a good time tonight!" Chen San rushed off in a hurry.

"Congratulations, my lord." Liu Qing bowed with a fist: "My lord's successful advancement to the Soul Out of Aperture Stage is truly a delight to behold!"

"Walk with me." Gao Fei strolled with his hands clasped behind his back within the military camp: "During my absence, did the soldiers practice diligently? Have they caused any trouble? Brought you any difficulties?"

"Not at all," Liu Qing shook his head: "The soldiers are of one heart and one mind, voluntarily assembling every day to train, extremely hardworking and diligent, never slacking off in the slightest."

"Is that really so? Don't lie to me now."

"How would I dare to deceive my lord? Each and every word I've spoken is true. If my lord does not trust me, you can always ask Chen San."

"Don't be nervous, I'm just teasing you. I trust you completely," Gao Fei laughed: "When I served in the City Lord's Mansion, you and Chen San followed me. Later, when I was demoted to a centurion and sent to the military camp, you still followed me... Through it all, I've come to regard you as good friends, as brothers. If I have a piece of meat, I would never let you go hungry, sharing both the highs and lows, fortune and trials! We'll stick together for life, never to part!"

"Yes, never to part for life!" Liu Qing nodded vigorously.

As they walked and talked, marveling at the military camp's vistas, they would burst into hearty laughter whenever the conversation reached a joyful note.

In life, one will always come across a few confidants. Cherish such friendships and strive for a wonderful future together.

"Oh dear." As they walked, Liu Qing suddenly slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory!"

"What's wrong?" Gao Fei stopped in his tracks and turned around, looking at Liu Qing with confusion.

"A few days ago, City Lord Bai sent an invitation..." Liu Qing took out an invitation from his bosom and handed it to Gao Fei: "You were not here at the time, so I kept it, planning to give it to you upon your return... But I completely forgot... It's unforgivable..."

"An invitation?" Gao Fei took the invitation, opened it, and was immediately stunned.

"My lord? What's wrong?" Liu Qing asked.

"Have you looked at this invitation?"

"No, the invitation is for my lord; how would I dare to look at it?"

"...City Lord Bai has invited me to a wedding feast."

"A wedding feast? What wedding feast?"

"Miss Bai Mudan is getting married."

"What?" Liu Qing's eyes widened in shock, his mouth agape, incredulity written all over his face: "What did you say? Miss Bai Mudan is getting married? How could that be? Doesn't Miss Bai Mudan like you?"

"With the invitation delivered, could it be a lie?" Gao Fei waved the invitation in his hand: "Miss Bai Mudan is prestigious, surely many have pursued her."

"How could this be? Miss Bai Mudan clearly likes you. How can she marry someone else?" Liu Qing spoke angrily: "This is outright unfaithfulness, utterly despicable! So heartless! It's infuriating!!!"

"Stop talking nonsense," Gao Fei glared at Liu Qing: "What do you mean by unfaithfulness? What do you mean by heartless? Let me tell you, such words should only be said in my presence, and must never be spread around carelessly. If they were to reach City Lord Bai's ears, you would be in trouble."

"I'm just indignant on behalf of my lord!" Liu Qing said through gritted teeth.
