My Sexy CEO Wife

In this world, there is no such thing as love without a reason, nor hate without a cause! Likewise, there is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky! To obtain something, one must pay a certain price! This is what people often mean when they say one gains and one loses.

There is no perfect life in this world.

No matter who you are, no matter how much power you hold or how much money you possess, life will always have its share of regrets.

Some people may seem glorious on the surface, living a life free from worries of food and clothing, but in reality, they have many troubles behind the scenes, unknown to others.

The poor have the troubles of the poor, and the rich have the troubles of the rich; the only difference is the way they solve them.

It's better to be happy in life. If you can spend a day with laughter, don't spend it crying. Whether you're poor or rich, everyone faces death one day. Life is like a snuffed-out lamp; while alive, don't be too petty. Strive to live each day well and don't leave yourself with too many regrets.

At this moment, Immortal Master Huang was plagued by worries, unsure of what to choose.

He coveted the book left by the Mansion Master, but he didn't want to get involved with the Mansion Master. Ah, what a nuisance.

"If you don't want it, I'll take it." Compared to Immortal Master Huang, Gao Fei felt much less psychological pressure. As a member of the Human Race, he didn't feel much affection for the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian. If possible... he wouldn't mind eliminating Xing Mietian, considering it ridding the Human Race of a scourge. Gao Fei walked over, crouched down, and began digging beneath the inscribed Stone Wall.

Immortal Master Huang moved his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't utter a word.

"Hey! There really is something here!" Gao Fei dug out a rectangular box from beneath the Stone Wall. It was dark and unpolished, with patterns carved on its surface. Gao Fei tapped the box, producing a dull sound. He groped around and then found a mechanism. With a gentle press, the lid of the box popped open.

Immortal Master Huang, unable to contain himself any longer, quickly walked over, bent down, and peered into the box.

Inside the box lay a book, its pages yellowed with age.

Under Immortal Master Huang's gaze, Gao Fei took out the book and flipped through it. Soon, he frowned.

"What's wrong?" Immortal Master Huang noticed something off about Gao Fei.

"Here, take it." Gao Fei tossed the book to Immortal Master Huang. "What a letdown! A complete waste of my feelings."

"What happened?" Immortal Master Huang's face filled with confusion. "What's the matter with you?" Just a moment ago, Gao Fei was very excited, so why did his expression change abruptly? Could the book be fake?

"The book makes it very clear, only the Demon Race can cultivate it." Gao Fei said with a grimace. "Other Races cultivating it would result in demonic possession and death."

So that's how it is? Immortal Master Huang laughed. "I thought it was something serious."

"However... the content recorded in the book is very profound..."

"How profound?"

"Take a look, and you'll know."

"Oh." Driven by curiosity, Immortal Master Huang opened the book, and after just one glance, he was deeply captivated. "Wonderful, truly wonderful, it's incomparable!" As he read, Immortal Master Huang exclaimed in amazement.

"Hey." Gao Fei said with dissatisfaction. "If you want to read it, take it back with you; don't waste time here."

"Let me have a look for a bit longer..."

"The content of the book is profound, isn't it? It's captivating, isn't it?"

"Profound, captivating."

"Do you want to cultivate it?"

"Of course! This book is like a house of gold to me!"

"If you cultivate this book, you'll have to avenge the Mansion Master," Gao Fei said with a chuckle.

"...uh..." Immortal Master Huang's expression stiffened, and he slowly closed the book.

"Why aren't you looking anymore? Keep reading, won't you?"

"...If I keep reading, I won't be able to hold back..."

"Hold back what?"

"Hold back from cultivating."

"Then just cultivate," Gao Fei laughed. "You just said, this book is like a treasure trove of gold to you."

"I can't cultivate." Immortal Master Huang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Once I start cultivating, it means I'm getting involved with the mansion master's affairs, and if I want peace of mind, I'll need to help him seek revenge." At this point, Immortal Master Huang paused. "If it were just any ordinary enemy, I would help, but... his enemy is the Demon Emperor... the number one expert of the Demon Race... Even if I wanted to help him seek revenge, I couldn't do it..."

"Revenge can be a slow process," Gao Fei said with a smile. "You start cultivating first, and once your power has increased, it won't be too late to seek revenge. The key question is, do you have the guts to do it?"

Immortal Master Huang was startled. "What do you mean by that? Why wouldn't I have the guts?"

"I remember you telling me that you and the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian are very good friends..."

"Uh... I was just kidding with you... I've only met the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian three times and exchanged three sentences with him... At most, we're acquaintances... As for friends... I'd like to be friends with him, but he doesn't think much of me..."

"Damn it! So you've been bluffing all this time! The funniest thing is that I actually believed you."

"I was just joking with you."

"It's easier if you're not friends! When the time comes, you won't feel any burden over it."

"Let me think it over properly, this isn't a small matter, I need to think carefully before I decide."

"Think about it then, I'll go look around elsewhere, see if there are any other treasures." Gao Fei walked away with his hands behind his back.

Half an hour later, Gao Fei came strolling back. "So? Have you made up your mind?"

Immortal Master Huang nodded. "I've made up my mind!"

"How so?" Gao Fei asked curiously. "What do you plan to do?"

"I'm taking this book." Immortal Master Huang waved the book in his hand. "If... and I'm saying if... if I become more powerful than the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian, I'll go and kill him..."

The moment Gao Fei heard this, he burst out laughing. "But what if your power never surpasses Xing Mietian?"

"Then there's nothing I can do," Immortal Master Huang shrugged helplessly. "I can only be unfaithful and break my word. I can't risk my own life."

"How hypocritical of you," Gao Fei scoffed. "You want the benefits without the risk. You know..."

"Let me correct you, I'm not human, I'm demon," Immortal Master Huang interrupted Gao Fei.

Gao Fei smacked his lips. "If you're a demon, why take human form? A demon man? Man demon? Heh..." Gao Fei suddenly burst into laughter, amused and delighted. "Man demon, that's right... you're definitely a man demon..."

"Are you done laughing." Immortal Master Huang's face darkened as he spoke.

"No, let me laugh a little longer." Gao Fei wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes. "It's been a long time since I've laughed like this."

"Gao Fei, let's discuss a matter," Immortal Master Huang's eyes swiveled around as an idea came to his mind.

"What is it?"

"Help me deal with the Demon Emperor Xing Mietian."

"Don't even think about it!"

"Don't be so quick to refuse! I won't ask for your help for nothing, I'll reward you handsomely! Really generous! Honestly! I promise you'll be tempted!" Immortal Master Huang was such a sly one, actually trying to drag Gao Fei into the mess. The real question was, would Gao Fei, who was so astute, be fooled?
