My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 227 - 225 The Enemy is Rising

"If you keep this up, you're going to end up demonically possessed," Xuan Jizi said with a wry smile. "You're still young, you have plenty of time to grasp the essence slowly, don't be too impatient."

"I'm just an impatient person. When I encounter a problem, I want to solve it immediately, instead of dragging it out." Gao Fei responded, "The longer the delay, the more uncomfortable I feel inside."

"Actually... I think that your inability to enter the Golden Core Stage now isn't necessarily a bad thing."

"What kind of thing is that to say!"

"What I mean is... this period of time is tempering you—tempering your temperament, tempering your temper, tempering your patience. Haven't you noticed that your patience has increased a lot recently?"

"Eh? Now that you mention it, that's true. I've found I can really hold my own now."

"That's right, everything has its ups and downs. You can't enter the Golden Core Stage because you're too impulsive, unable to calmly think and comprehend. Take my advice, let go of the stress in your heart, face everything with ease. What's meant to be yours will be yours; forcefully seeking what's not won't make it so."

"Sigh... it's easier said than done," Gao Fei sighed softly.

...

Time flies.

More than a week passed by in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Gao Fei led a very happy life, surrounded by five women discussing love and occasionally taking advantage, leading a sweet life indeed.

Gao Fei was a winner in life, not only winning wealth but also beautiful women, and most importantly... he won the Demon God Heritage, stepping onto the path of cultivating immortality with the chance to pursue longevity.

The Feitian Group established by Gao Fei started a series of collaborations with the Su Group. With the help of Feitian Group, the Su Group's business flourished more and more. As the head of the Su Group, Su Xiaorou became a big celebrity—even international newspapers reported on her.

Shen Caidie's company also did well recently, earning quite a bit of money.

Liu Mengyao solved several major cases and was appreciated by the leaders above, promoted ahead of schedule to become a top official.

Meng Xiaoyu's acting career was also booming, and her fame grew larger. A while ago, a well-known foreign film company invited Meng Xiaoyu to shoot a film as the main lead. Due to the distance, Meng Xiaoyu declined the offer. After the news broke, it caused many people to sigh, as not everyone gets invited by an international film company.

Among the five women, it was Ouyang Lan who led the most ordinary life. She was still working as a nurse at the hospital, but she rarely went to work lately and mostly stayed in Gao Fei's villa, cultivating and bonding with him. The longer they were together, the less Ouyang Lan could stay away from Gao Fei, and in the end, she resigned herself to it.

"I've got an announcement to make," Gao Fei said earnestly. "I need to take a trip, and it might be a while before I return."

"Where are you going?"

"A very remote place, you wouldn't have heard of it."

"What are you going for?"

"To meet a few people and talk business."

"Will it be dangerous?"

"No danger! With my strength, even if I face danger, I'll turn misfortune into fortune," Gao Fei said with a smile.

That evening, the five women cooked a sumptuous dinner for Gao Fei.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be back," Gao Fei said cheerfully to the five women. "Can you keep me company tonight?"

"How do you want us to keep you company?" Su Xiaorou asked.

"Of course by... lying in one bed, under one blanket, and then doing some not-so-kid-friendly things."

"Don't even think about it," Liu Mengyao twitched her nose. "Before we establish a proper relationship, don't even think about touching us."

"Relationship? What relationship? Didn't we agree that the five of you would tend to me?"

"Who agreed to that?"

"...Fine, I take back what I said, I can see through you all now, a bunch of ingrates."

...

Under Gao Fei's insistent demands, the five women ultimately stayed in his room... But don't get any wrong ideas, they didn't do anything. They just lay on the bed and chatted all night, although, during the chatting, Gao Fei still managed to take some advantages.

Dawn approached.

Gao Fei bid farewell to the five women and drove away.

"Ah, why are happy days always so fleeting?" Su Xiaorou sighed.

"With Gao Fei gone, there's no need for us to stay here anymore."

"Everyone should go back, and when Gao Fei returns, we can come over again."

"Yeah, let's settle on that."

After agreeing on a time to meet again, the five women parted ways.

And with that, the cozy cohabitation came to an end.

...

Several days later.

Gao Fei arrived at Yin Yang Sect.

"High Sect Leader, you've finally come back." The Great Elder, Sima Shangyue, greeted him with a wry smile: "If you didn't return soon, I would have had to come looking for you."

"Look at you, all worried." Gao Fei curled his lip: "There are still several days left before the Ninefold Mountain meeting, what's the rush?"

"The Ninefold Mountain meeting is no small matter, we need to go a few days in advance."

"Go in advance?"

"Yes, arriving early shows how much we value the Ninefold Mountain meeting."

"I just came back from outside and I'm a bit exhausted, give me two days to rest before we go."

"Ah?"

"Ah what? It's decided! I'm going to rest now." Gao Fei, without further discussion, waved his hand and started walking towards the back mountain.

Sima Shangyue stood there, his face full of wry smiles.

Just then, Gao Fei suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Sima Shangyue.

A look of joy crossed Sima Shangyue's face: "Did you change your mind?"

"Change my mind? When have I ever changed a decision I've made?" Gao Fei curled his lip: "I'm asking you, have there been any sightings of Xiong Batian and Dongfang Jian lately?"

So that was what he was asking about?

Sima Shangyue sighed softly: "No, I've sent out many disciples to look for them, but we haven't been able to find any trace of the two. They must be hiding and won't show themselves easily."

"I can't rest easy until we find those two," Gao Fei smacked his lips: "Send out more people to search. We must find out where they are." After a few more instructions, Gao Fei left.

...

In the dark, damp chamber.

Dongfang Jian was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a dull, lightless golden bead, his expression a mixture of loss, regret, and also a bit of excitement: "Using the Golden Core for cultivation, the speed is indeed fast. I've reached the Inedia Stage First Layer without even realizing it, but... the spiritual energy in the Golden Core is almost depleted...

Without it, my cultivation speed will drop significantly..."

After a taste of rapid cultivation, it was hard to come to terms with returning to his previous pace.

"Wonder how things are outside?" Dongfang Jian muttered to himself: "That guy Gao Fei must be strutting around arrogantly!"

"Hmph!"

Dongfang Jian let out a cold huff: "For now, I'll let you gloat. Once I reach the Golden Core Stage, I'll go out and kill you!"
