My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 586 - 583 Thinking of the bowl while eating from the pot

Gao Fei frowned as he paced back and forth in the room.

It was clear that Gao Fei had something on his mind.

"I have to leave tomorrow, tonight is the only chance to make a move."

"Something that can attract Li Fire is definitely not of Ordinary Grade."

"The main problem is... the thing that attracts Li Fire is hidden in the Glazed Glass Palace within the royal palace, it's too difficult to take it without anyone noticing."

"No matter what, I must give it a try."

Having made up his mind, Gao Fei pushed the door open and walked out.

...

He used a secret technique to change his appearance and then, taking advantage of the night, he sneaked towards the Glazed Glass Palace.

Halfway there, Gao Fei knocked out a guard, took his clothes, and then swaggered around the palace without arousing suspicion.

Along the way, Gao Fei encountered many people, but not a single one doubted his identity... Just like that, Gao Fei arrived at the Glazed Glass Palace without incident.

After a quick scan to ensure there was no danger, Gao Fei quietly slipped into the Glazed Glass Palace. The great hall was covered with dust, the walls adorned with cobwebs, and the air was somewhat moldy... All signs indicated that it had been a long time since anyone had lived there.

Everywhere in the great hall carried the aura of abandonment.

Gao Fei muttered to himself: No one lives here? No one to guard it? What does this mean? It means that this Glazed Glass Palace is not valued... But that shouldn't be the case! With treasures hidden inside, Emperor Dugu Jingtian should value it, right? At the very least, a few guards should be stationed here, right?

Thinking it over, there was only one explanation.

Emperor Dugu Jingtian simply didn't know about the treasure hidden in the Glazed Glass Palace, which is why there were no guards.

That was a very likely possibility!

"Heh heh..." Gao Fei grinned, "Even if I take the treasure, Emperor Dugu Jingtian won't know." After clarity dawned on him, Gao Fei's taut nerves relaxed.

Gao Fei released the Li Fire hidden within his body and then stood aside, watching quietly as the Li Fire searched for the treasure.

The Li Fire was like a runaway wild horse, flying joyfully around the great hall. "Pfft!" The Li Fire descended from above and smashed fiercely onto a stone pillar, "Crack!" The pillar split open, revealing a wisp of black flame.

In the center of the great hall stood eight stone pillars, each connected to the roof and the ground, all carved with dragon heads that looked astoundingly lifelike, a testament to the expert craftsmanship.

At this moment, one of the pillars was cracked by the Li Fire, and a wisp of black flame flew out from within it.

Upon seeing the black flame, the Li Fire became excited, pouncing and tearing at it, while the black flame desperately resisted. Alas, the difference in strength was too great. No matter how much the black flame struggled, it couldn't escape the Li Fire's assault.

"A black flame." Gao Fei touched his smooth chin, curiosity shining in his eyes, "What kind of flame is this? It looks very special! Hmm, anything that excites the Li Fire is surely no ordinary thing, but sadly, my knowledge is limited, and I can't recognize the origin of this black flame."

It didn't take long for the black flame to be devoured by the Li Fire. The Li Fire then wobbled towards Gao Fei, looking like a drunken strongman. Although they couldn't communicate, Gao Fei could feel the Li Fire's thrill.

After devouring the black flame, the Li Fire grew slightly larger and its color deepened.

"Devouring flames can enhance its power... In the long run, what will the Li Fire become?" Gao Fei pondered: "Is there a possibility it could surpass the legendary Samadhi True Fire?"

The Li Fire is the premier flame of the Mortal World, while the Samadhi True Fire is the premier flame of the Immortal Realm. Both are unparalleled, only operating in different realms.

To draw an analogy, the Li Fire is born into a wealthy family, a second-generation rich kid, whereas the Samadhi True Fire is born into a family of power, a second-generation official's kid. Anyone with sense would realize that a second-generation official is more formidable than a second-generation rich kid. What if... the Li Fire also became a second-generation official? Could it then compete with the Samadhi True Fire?

"Why think about these things?" Gao Fei shook his head, "Whether I can reach the Immortal Realm in this lifetime is still an unknown. If I can't get to the Immortal Realm, I won't even see the Samadhi True Fire... In that case, the Li Fire will have no chance to compete with it."

Truth be told, Gao Fei was just being greedy, always looking for the next best thing.

"Whoosh!"

Li Fire transformed into a thin thread and burrowed into Gao Fei's body.

The task was done, and it was time to leave.

Gao Fei turned around and left the Glazed Glass Palace without a sound, coming quietly and departing unnoticed. It had to be said, Gao Fei's luck was exceptionally good.

On the way back, Gao Fei encountered a group of people, both men and women, dressed in lavish clothes, strutting arrogantly.

"The royal palace is really huge!" a woman said enviously, "It's much bigger than my home."

"I'll get some land and build a royal palace too. Then, I'll invite you all to visit," a chubby-faced man said with a laugh.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, I am!"

"Alright, we'll wait for that. You have to keep your word, no deceiving us."

"When have I ever tricked you? As soon as we get back tomorrow... I'll start taking action! By next year at the latest, you can all come for a visit."

"Good, it's settled then."

"There's one thing, I need everyone's help," a man with a cold look in his eyes said.

"What's the matter?"

"Today, that Gao Fei beat me up badly, and when I got back, my father also gave me a severe scolding. I can't swallow this insult. I'd like to ask you all to help me take out Gao Fei."

"Isn't that going to be difficult?"

"That Gao Fei is Wan Fuchang, he commands a strong army, killing him... won't be easy."

"I have already thought it through. Leave the royal city early tomorrow, then ambush him halfway. When Gao Fei arrives, we'll all rush out and hack him to death with knives. I refuse to believe he can deal with so many of us alone!"

"Let me think about it..."

"I won't let you help me for nothing. As long as you help me kill Gao Fei, I will reward you handsomely!"

...

Gao Fei overheard every single word these people said without missing a beat.

Hearing that these people wanted to kill him, Gao Fei's expression suddenly became dark.

Fucking bastard! They treat me like a sick cat when the tiger doesn't show its power! I was not looking for trouble, but they came to provoke me? If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless! Gao Fei quickened his pace, walking toward the group of men and women. He was dressed as a royal guard and had also changed his appearance, so they definitely couldn't recognize him.

"Stop!" Gao Fei lowered his voice and shouted, "All of you, stop right there!"

"Who are you to yell at us like that, do you have a death wish?" a tall man glared and bellowed.

"Get lost quickly, don't anger me, or I'll make you regret it," a fat man cursed.

"Who left their belt undone, letting such a creature out?" a man with a shriveled appearance scolded.

"Scram, scram, scram, don't block the way."

"What a nuisance, just get lost already!"

"Wow, he dares to glare. Glare again! You think I won't dig out your damn eyes and use them as marbles?"

The group of men and women pointed at Gao Fei's nose and cursed. In their eyes, Gao Fei was just a lowly guard, someone they could insult and hit at will, no big deal.
