My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 212 - 210: Abyss of Magic (Part 8)

Zhu Dahe lay under Gao Fei's foot, his expression fierce, as he looked up to the sky and roared furiously, cursing the heavens for their injustice.

In the distance, the temple and the huge tower continued to struggle fiercely, evenly matched and fighting desperately.

"Enough with the howling," Gao Fei kicked Zhu Dahe: "Spit it out, what exactly is going on!"

"Humph!" Zhu Dahe turned his head away: "If you have the guts, just kill me; I won't say anything."

"Oh dear! Someone's got a temper," Gao Fei sneered: "I've seen plenty like you, tough on the surface but actually terrified of death, turn into cowards the moment they get scared."

"You can try!" Zhu Dahe said stiffly: "See if I'll buckle!"

"Alright, let's try." Gao Fei lifted his foot, his toe pointed at Zhu Dahe's groin, and said with a grin: "What do you think will happen if I kick down? Will your darling jewels burst? What would that feel like? Must be ecstasy, huh?"

Zhu Dahe shivered, his eyes showing panic: "You... you're despicable...to scare me like this..."

"Prepare yourself, I'm going to make my move... oh, no, I mean, my kick!" With a light cry, Gao Fei swung his foot hanging in mid-air toward Zhu Dahe's groin.

"Don't!!" Zhu Dahe screamed in terror: "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Stop, please stop!!!"

"Swoosh!"

Gao Fei's toe stopped, just one centimeter away from Zhu Dahe's groin.

"I was scared to death... literally scared to death..." Zhu Dahe's face was pale, he gasped for breath heavily, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

"Weren't you acting all tough? Why cow down now?" Gao Fei sneered: "You're nothing but a coward! Trying to look tough when you're not, how shameless!"

Zhu Dahe looked at Gao Fei with resentful eyes: "It's not that I'm a coward, it's that you are too low and shameless! Even if you chopped off my head, I wouldn't bat an eyelid, but you... you resort to such despicable means..."

"Enough with the excuses." Gao Fei waved his hands impatiently: "Now tell me, what are you hiding here for?"

"…You tell me first, how did you get in?" Zhu Dahe asked.

"How you got in is how I got in."

"What I mean is... how did you find the black hole?"

"It was Nine Bends Fort's Village Chief Nong Zizai who told me. He also mentioned some things about you, like the Holy Land, fortune and such."

"…" Zhu Dahe's face twitched violently: "Nong Zizai that bastard, betraying our trust. I will settle the score with him sooner or later!"

"Tell me, what exactly is this about." Gao Fei pressed.

Zhu Dahe let out a sigh: "Do you believe that immortals exist in this world?"

"Huh?" Gao Fei was startled: "Immortals?"

Zhu Dahe nodded: "Yes, immortals! Decades ago, my father accidentally discovered an old book that recorded many incredible things..." For the next while, Zhu Dahe revealed a secret that had been buried in his heart for many years...

More than fifty years ago, Zhu Dahe's father, Zhu Bingshan, accidentally got hold of a book that contained records of all sorts of bizarre things, like immortals, demons, ferocious beasts... On the last page of the book, Zhu Bingshan found a thrilling secret...

According to the records, there was a black hole hidden in a range of mountains. At the bottom of the black hole, there was a Teleportation Array that led to the Demon Clan's Holy Land. In the Holy Land, there were immense fortunes that could lead to becoming an immortal.

Zhu Bingshan searched for years and finally found the location of the black hole... right inside Nine Bends...

To Zhu Bingshan's immense frustration, he could not find the black hole until the day he died. He was not willing to give up, truly not, but what could he do? He was just a mortal, and life would inevitably come to an end.

Before his death, Zhu Bingshan told his son, Zhu Dahe, the secret of the black hole, entrusting him to continue the search.

After burying his father, Zhu Dahe began the search for the black hole. After over a decade without even a shadow of the black hole, just as Zhu Dahe was about to give up, the black hole appeared, washed out by a massive rainstorm.

Zhu Dahe was ecstatic. Without a moment's hesitation, he dove into the black hole in search of the legendary fortune.

…

"That's the whole story." Zhu Dahe said: "Sounds like a soap opera, doesn't it?"

"Demon Clan's Holy Land? Fortune?" Gao Fei frowned: "This place is the Demon Clan's Holy Land?"

"It should be." Zhu Dahe nodded: "That's what the book says. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Buddhist Sect and the Demon Clan waged a great war, and this Holy Land was the battleground. They fought to the death, and after the great battle, the Demon Clan's Holy Land was almost completely destroyed... See this yellow sand?

It's the transformation of the Demon Clan people's bodies; after they died, their bodies turned into yellow sand..."

"Are these events all recorded in that book?"

"Yes."

"Where is the book now? Show it to me?"

"Lost..."

"Lost?"

"Yes, I carelessly lost it, and have regretted it for over a decade."

"...You're really something! How could you lose something so important!"

"Sigh..."

Zhu Dahe slowly exhaled, "After many years of study, I've finally determined... what 'bless' really is..." Saying this, Zhu Dahe lifted his head, his eyes blazing as he looked at the temple and the giant tower, "Bless is them!"

"I'm really curious, how have you survived here for over a decade?" Gao Fei asked, "This place is full of yellow sand, no food, no water source, and yet you didn't starve or die of thirst? Truly a miracle."

"You've just arrived and don't know much about this place," Zhu Dahe shook his head, "Here... It's strange... To be precise, this yellow sand is strange, it can emit a peculiar energy, and it's by absorbing this energy that I have survived."

"Energy?" Gao Fei picked up a handful of yellow sand and sensed it carefully, "Indeed, there's some energy... No, that's not right!" Gao Fei's expression changed, and he threw the yellow sand away, "What energy! This is clearly 'soul energy'! You said before, this yellow sand is formed from dead bodies, so these sands contain 'soul energy'! You could also say it's 'corpse energy'!"

"Soul energy? Corpse energy?" Zhu Dahe was taken aback.

"A living person like you, surviving on 'soul energy', and still alive after all this time, you really are something else!" Gao Fei exclaimed.

Zhu Dahe twitched the corner of his mouth, "Are you praising me, or mocking me?"

"Of course, I'm praising you," said Gao Fei, "This is 'soul energy' we're talking about! A normal person would die from absorbing just a little bit of it! Yet you, after absorbing it for over a decade, are still unharmed, isn't that a miracle?"

Zhu Dahe blinked, "Now that you mention it, it is indeed a miracle that I've survived."

"Alas..." Gao Fei shook his head and sighed, "You've been here acting like a living dead man for over a decade, all for some ill-defined 'bless'. You really have patience."

"With 'bless', one can become an immortal!" Zhu Dahe declared, "For the sake of becoming immortal, no matter how much suffering, I'm willing to endure it."

"Becoming an immortal?" Gao Fei scoffed, "You say it so lightly! How easy is it for a mortal to become immortal? Relying on this temple and giant tower? I just don't believe it!"

In the sky above.

The temple and the giant tower continued their struggle, though not as fiercely as before, after fighting for so long, the temple and the tower must be tired too.

"Fight! Keep fighting!" Gao Fei muttered to himself, "It's best if they both suffer and end up weakened, so I can reap the benefits."

"Bang!"

The temple and the giant tower collided fiercely, then quickly separated, and then flew back together to collide again...

Once, twice, thrice...

After who knows how many collisions, both the temple and the giant tower fell onto the yellow sand. The golden light emitted from the temple slowly dissipated, and the black fog surrounding the tower also vanished. After a great battle, both the temple and the tower were depleted.

To describe it in one word, they were both equally injured.

"Haha... Now's the moment!" Gao Fei kicked Zhu Dahe, who was in the way, and then pounced towards the temple and the giant tower: "Two treasures, you belong to me now!"

"They're mine! Mine!" Zhu Dahe, lying on the ground with bloodshot eyes, yelled hoarsely, "Don't you dare compete with me! They're all mine!!!"

In a moment, Gao Fei was in front of both the temple and the giant tower, "Huh? They're actually sinking?"

The temple and the giant tower were quickly sinking into the yellow sand, and in the blink of an eye, half of them were covered...

"Thinking of escaping? Not a chance!" Gao Fei stretched out his hands, his left grabbing the temple and the right grabbing the tower, his eyes wide and furious, he roared, "Come to me!" With all his strength, Gao Fei pulled, yanking the temple and tower, which had been buried in the sand, out.

"Sizzle..."

The temple and the giant tower scraped across the yellow sand, making a grating noise.

"They're really heavy!" Gao Fei's arms were tense and straight, his face flushed, his jaw clenched as he pulled the temple and the tower forcefully.

The temple and the giant tower made slight struggle, eager to burrow back into the sand. If this were their peak, they could easily suppress Gao Fei with a simple flicker, but now... after a great battle, their energy was completely drained, leaving them incapable of harming Gao Fei any further.

The temple and the giant tower had been fighting for hundreds of thousands of years, emerging every so often to battle fiercely, always ending in a stalemate. When their energy was exhausted, they would sink into the sand to recuperate and rest, only reemerging when their energy was nearly restored to fight once more.

Waging war back and forth for hundreds of thousands of years, a victor had never been declared.

This time, they had fought to a standstill, too, and after depleting their energy, they were ready to hide in the sand to restore themselves, but, unexpectedly... someone suddenly appeared, grabbed them, and adamantly prevented them from sinking back into the sand...

Faced with this, the temple and the giant tower grew frantic, struggling and resisting desperately. Unfortunately, with their energy exhausted, they couldn't muster enough force, and in the end, Gao Fei forcefully dragged them out of the sand.
