My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 168 - 166: Journey to Kunlun (Part 9)

"Don't beat around the bush, just tell me!" Gao Fei urged.

"Remove the mental power that I attached to the stone... Then replace it with your own, and after that, you will be able to use the white stone..." Xuan Jizi's soul explained.

"Explain it more clearly. How do I remove your mental power?"

"You release my soul, and I will retract the mental power attached to the stone..."

"Don't even think about it!" Gao Fei snorted coldly: "Nice try. If I let you out, you'd just look for a chance to escape."

"No, I won't run away. I've already told you, I can't leave this ancient tomb, otherwise my soul will disperse."

"I'm asking you, is there any other way to clear the mental power from the stone besides letting you out?" Gao Fei asked.

The soul of Xuan Jizi hesitated for a moment: "There is another way... It's just more troublesome to implement... and... it will cause me some harm."

"What way?" Gao Fei pressed.

"Using forceful measures to forcefully clear away my mental power," Xuan Jizi's soul said: "There are two drawbacks to this method. First, it will take a very long time, and second, it will cause certain harm to me."

"That's not a bad method." Gao Fei nodded his head.

...

Gao Fei walked into the secret chamber and approached the white stone carefully. The nearer he got, the denser he felt the spiritual energy; this white stone was definitely a treasure!

He first observed it closely with his eyes, then reached out to touch the white stone. He raised his guard to the highest level, ready to withdraw his hand immediately if anything was amiss!

Slowly, very slowly...

At last, Gao Fei's fingertips touched the white stone. The first sensation was its rock-solid hardness; the second was a hint of coolness. Then Gao Fei felt a force of repulsion. Yes, it was a force of repulsion, which must represent Xuan Jizi's mental power.

"Repelling me?" Gao Fei snorted coldly: "I want to see whether you're stronger, or I am!" Gao Fei increased the pressure of his hand, starting to press forcefully on the white stone.

"Bang!"

A surging power suddenly burst forth from the white stone, knocking Gao Fei's hand away.

"Yo-heave-ho! You've got some strength!" Gao Fei was slightly indignant and once again raised his hand to press on the white stone, only to be repelled after a short while.

Over the following period, Gao Fei tried several more times, ultimately to no avail.

"Take it slow, one day I'll manage to clear the mental power from the white stone." Gao Fei took off his coat, tied it around the white stone, then held it in his arms and walked outside.

"Bang bang bang..."

The white stone throbbed violently, trying to break free from Gao Fei's embrace, but he held on tightly, refusing to let go.

"Boom!"

Gao Fei was hurled away by a tremendous force, while the white stone fell to the ground and then bounced and hopped back to the secret chamber.

"Damn!"

Gao Fei got up from the ground and, with a furious expression, went over to pick up the white stone again. He then ran towards the entrance of the ancient tomb as fast as he could...

"Boom!"

Seconds later, Gao Fei was propelled away again, and the white stone once more made its way back to the secret chamber.

Gao Fei refused to admit defeat, and after picking himself up from the ground, he lunged toward the white stone...

...

A man and a stone unfolded a series of struggles inside the ancient tomb.

From start to finish, it was Gao Fei who was at a disadvantage.

But Gao Fei was not discouraged. Wherever he fell, he would get up and continue to fight with the white stone.

There's a saying that's well put, as long as you practice hard, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle!

After struggling for a day, Gao Fei gradually gained the upper hand, and the white stone began to retreat in defeat.

After more than two thousand years of exhaustion, the mental power attached to the white stone had become extremely weak and had suffered great damage, incapable of enduring prolonged consumption.

Gao Fei was young and full of energy, but most importantly, he had an indomitable heart. Even if he was defeated, he would still get back up and continue to fight! As long as he had a breath left in him, he would not give up!

In Gao Fei's personal dictionary of life, there were no words for "admit defeat."

"Hehe..." Gao Fei hugged the white stone tightly, laughing triumphantly, "Struggle, go on, thrash about... Can't manage it now, can you? Have I subdued you? You just need a good sorting out! If you don't get a taste of what I'm made of, you'll never know what I'm capable of!"

"Thump thump..."

The white stone throbbed twice, with little force, entirely unable to break free from Gao Fei's grasp.

"Haha..." Gao Fei burst into hearty laughter, "You little thing, can't I handle you?! Come on, I'll take you to see the outside world filled with all its wonders! Once you go out, you definitely won't want to come back."

And so, Gao Fei walked toward the entrance of the ancient tomb, holding the white stone, which continued to struggle incessantly but was no longer a threat.

Inside Gao Fei's mind, Xuan Jizi's soul sighed softly. The treasure he had guarded for so many years was about to become someone else's, and he was truly saddened, truly reluctant to part with it.

...

Outside the ancient tomb.

Xia Tao, Zhou Yong, and Gu Qi sat in a circle, eating bread and chatting.

"Boss, Mr. Gao has been in there for several days now and still hasn't come out... Could something have happened?" Gu Qi asked with concern.

"No way," Xia Tao waved his hand dismissively, "Mr. Gao is highly skilled. He won't run into trouble."

"Boss, are we just going to keep waiting like this?" Zhou Yong inquired.

"If Mr. Gao doesn't come out, we can't leave," Xia Tao stated firmly.

"How about... we go into the ancient tomb to find Mr. Gao?" Zhou Yong suggested, "We could look for Mr. Gao and at the same time tour the tomb, killing two birds with one stone. What do you think, Gu Qi? Am I right?"

Gu Qi hurriedly nodded: "Right, absolutely right!"

"I know you're curious," Xia Tao said, twitching his mouth, "I'll tell you, I'm also very curious. I also want to enter the tomb and see if it really holds the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty..." He paused, then added, "It's just... I promised Mr. Gao that I wouldn't enter the tomb before he came out... I have only one good quality, and that is keeping my word..."

"Boss, to live, you've got to be flexible, not rigid..." Gu Qi said.

"Are you calling me rigid? Insulting me?" Xia Tao frowned, "Are you itching for a beating? Do you want me to loosen your joints?"

"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean to insult you. I just spoke without thinking, there's really no other meaning. Don't take it to heart," Gu Qi quickly explained: "Boss, in my heart, you're the rising sun, bringing me light, giving me warmth, allowing me to live with fighting spirit. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

My gratitude for you is overflowing and filled with..." Gu Qi's skill in flattering was getting more sophisticated by the day, words flowing effortlessly.
