My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 215 - 213: Ancient Treasures

Zhu Dahe let out a wry smile, "To be honest, the fact that I am still alive today is a real miracle."

"It's such a relief that you could come back alive," Nong Zizai said sincerely, "I've been saving the position of Great Elder for you, and if you want to be Village Chief, I can step down too..."

"No need," Zhu Dahe waved his hand dismissively, "I'm not interested in being the Village Chief." He added, "With my temperament, I'm really not meant to be Village Chief."

"All these years have passed, and your temper hasn't changed at all," Nong Zizai observed, "You're still as stubborn as ever."

"How is Zhu Feng? Has he gotten married? Does he have any children?" Zhu Dahe asked.

"Zhu Feng…" Nong Zizai looked up at Gao Fei, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"What? Did he get into trouble?" Zhu Dahe frowned.

"He… He…" Nong Zizai stumbled over his words.

"What on earth happened!" Zhu Dahe pressed, "Out with it!"

"I'll tell you," Gao Fei stepped forward, "Your son… is dead."

Zhu Dahe staggered, his eyes bulging, "What did you say! Say it again!!!"

"Your son is dead," Gao Fei repeated, "He committed suicide."

"Dead… impossible… How could my son possibly be dead! Absolutely impossible!" Zhu Dahe turned his head abruptly, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Nong Zizai, "Tell me! Is what he's saying true or false!"

Nong Zizai let out a heavy sigh, "It's true, Zhu Feng really is dead."

"Thump!"

Zhu Dahe only felt darkness before his eyes, then his whole body fell towards the ground.

"Be careful," Nong Zizai hurriedly reached out to steady Zhu Dahe, "The dead cannot be brought back to life, try to accept it."

"Get lost!"

Zhu Dahe violently pushed Nong Zizai away, his eyes wide, and he bellowed, "Why would my son die! Why!!! It must be you, you must have killed my son!!! Give me back my son's life!" Zhu Dahe lunged forward, beginning to pummel Nong Zizai.

While defending himself, Nong Zizai tried to explain, "Listen to me… This has nothing to do with me! Zhu Feng fell in love with a woman, but the woman didn't love him. Out of anger, he used 'Love' Gu on her, and then Zhu Feng killed himself. The 'Love' Gu turned into 'Loveless' Gu, and now that woman is in Nine Bends Fort, her life hanging by a thread."

"Nonsense! My son would never commit suicide!" Zhu Dahe refused to believe it, "My son was clever and decisive, he would never kill himself, never!"

"I'm telling the truth, why won't you believe me." Nong Zizai was so anxious that he stamped his foot, "We are close friends, I always treated Zhu Feng like my own nephew, how could I possibly harm him."

"It was you who killed my son, it was you!" Zhu Dahe had lost all reason, attacking Nong Zizai frantically, "I will make you pay! Pay with your life!!!"

"Splat!"

Nong Zizai wasn't quick enough to dodge and got punched in the back. The pain caused Nong Zizai to grimace. In terms of strength, he was slightly inferior to Zhu Dahe, and now with Zhu Dahe having lost his reason and attacking like a madman, Nong Zizai couldn't hold him back.

"Aren't you going to come help me, are you going to just watch him beat me to death!" Nong Zizai cried for help to Gao Fei, who was the only one that could save him now.

Gao Fei did not disappoint Nong Zizai, he quickly moved forward and grabbed Zhu Dahe by the shoulder. With a yank, a push, and a release, Zhu Dahe was thrown out, crashing into a rock and landing heavily on the ground, his mouth gaping as he spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood.

This was the difference in strength!

With a single move, Gao Fei subdued the frenzied Zhu Dahe.

"Feeling the pain now? What took you so long?" Gao Fei scolded, "Over a decade ago, you entered the Black Hole in search of opportunity, but did you ever think of Zhu Feng? Do you know?

After you disappeared, Zhu Feng's life became very difficult, he was bullied by many, and eventually, he left Nine Bends Fort in a huff, drifting alone, living a hard life!" Gao Fei softened his tone slightly, "Zhu Feng could've lived a happy life, but he had to fall for a woman he shouldn't, and that led to his suicide, which is indeed quite regrettable."

"My son was bullied…" Zhu Dahe glared at Nong Zizai, "And you just watched my son get bullied…"

Nong Zizai's expression turned awkward, "I was negligent in this matter, I let Zhu Feng down."

"Scumbag!" Zhu Dahe gritted his teeth, "If it weren't for my help, could you have become Village Chief? One time you were bitten by a Gu insect and almost lost your life, it was I who saved you! You ungrateful rat, I really shouldn't have saved you back then!"

Nong Zizai's face turned red with the scolding, and he hung his head, not saying a word.

"Enough, stop berating him," Gao Fei waved his hand, "We can settle your grudges later, right now, you need to help me save someone."

"Save that woman?"

"Yes, she is my friend, and your son plotted against her, you owe it to her to save her."

"Pah!" Zhu Dahe cursed, "He killed my son; how could I save her?!"

"Not going to save her?"

"Definitely not saving her!"

"Fine! Don't regret it!" Gao Fei kicked Zhu Dahe over, then reached down and yanked Zhu Dahe's pants down.

Zhu Dahe's face changed, "What are you doing!"

"I'm going to castrate you."

"You wouldn't dare!"

"What wouldn't I dare to do?"

"You… You can't do this to me… fine, fine, I'll save them, isn't that okay!"

Under Gao Fei's coercion, Zhu Dahe had to cave in. He wasn't afraid of death, truly he wasn't! But… he feared castration… What does a man value the most? Certainly, his virility, and if that's taken away, life loses all its meaning.

...

"Brother Fei, you're finally here!" Lu Hao sighed with relief, "Xu Lingxiu's condition is very bad, she could die at any moment."

"Don't worry, I've found someone who can heal Xu Lingxiu." Gao Fei glared at Zhu Dahe, "What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and save her! I warn you, if you dare to play any tricks, I'll castrate you!"

Zhu Dahe walked to the bedside, glanced at Xu Lingxiu, "She's indeed beautiful, no wonder my son took a fancy to her."

Under Gao Fei's watch, Zhu Dahe didn't dare to play any tricks and earnestly went about healing Xu Lingxiu.

Zhu Dahe truly was the greatest Gu Art Master of Nine Bends Fort; his skill in saving people was high.

An hour later.

Zhu Dahe stood up, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "It's done, she's going to be okay."

"That quickly?" Gao Fei was startled.

"The 'Unfeeling Gu' may seem domineering, but it's actually quite fragile. As long as you find the right method, it's easy to get rid of the Unfeeling Gu," Zhu Dahe said indifferently.

Gao Fei walked over and carefully checked Xu Lingxiu's body, "Vital signs are normal, it looks like you haven't lied to me."

"Can I leave now?"

"You can! You're free to leave any time!"

Zhu Dahe lifted his foot to leave. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Wait!" Gao Fei called out.

Zhu Dahe stopped in his tracks and turned around, "Is there something else?"

Gao Fei quietly looked at Zhu Dahe, "I know you hold a grudge! I took the fortune that should have been yours, and then your son died, you must be very upset!" Gao Fei paused, "Don't think about seeking revenge, even if you cultivate for a hundred years, you're no match for me!

If you're smart, you should forget this hatred and contentedly remain an elder of the fort, and live out the rest of your life happily."

"Are you done?" Zhu Dahe asked expressionlessly.

"I'm done," Gao Fei nodded.

"Then I'm leaving," Zhu Dahe said without looking back and departed.

Watching Zhu Dahe's retreating figure, Gao Fei's gaze flickered with an unknown thought.

"Brother Fei, when will Xu Lingxiu wake up?" Lu Hao asked.

"If nothing unexpected happens, she should wake up today."

"Really?"

"You stay here and look after Xu Lingxiu, I'm going to rest for a bit. Call me if anything comes up."

"Oh, okay, get some rest."

After giving a few instructions, Gao Fei left, leaving Lu Hao alone to watch over the unconscious Xu Lingxiu.

...

In the empty room.

Gao Fei sat cross-legged on the bed, with his hands extended flatly on his knees, eyes tightly closed, breathing slowly and deeply.

It wasn't until nightfall that Gao Fei ended his spiritual cultivation.

After hours of cultivation, the weariness from his body was swept away, and he appeared much more spirited.

"Kid! I've made a significant discovery!" Xuan Jizi's excited voice echoed in his mind.

"What discovery?" Gao Fei asked.

"About the temple and the tower..."

"Oh? Tell me, what have you found!"

"Both the temple and the tower have a plaque, and each plaque is inscribed with characters, all in ancient script. I've spent a long time studying them, and I've finally figured out the meaning of these words."

"That's impressive!" Gao Fei's eyes lit up, "Tell me, what are the words?"

"Heh heh..." At the crucial moment, Xuan Jizi started to tease him, "Beg me, and I'll tell you."

"You!" Gao Fei's eyebrows shot up, "Are you looking for a scratching?"

"Just kidding with you, now you're angry," Xuan Jizi muttered, "No fun at all."

"Speak up!" Gao Fei was getting impatient, "What exactly are the words on the plaques!"

"Alright, I'll tell you!" Xuan Jizi said, "The temple's plaque has four words, the tower's plaque has three words, together they're seven words! These seven words belong to the same script, the oldest script. It took me a lot of effort to decipher them."

Gao Fei's expression darkened, "Can you stop beating around the bush and just tell me!"

"I'm not beating around the bush, I just wanted to express how hard it was for me..."

"If you keep rambling, I'm going to deal with you!"

"Okay okay, I'll tell you! I'm going to tell you right now!"

"Get on with it!" Gao Fei steadied his Qi, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully.
