My Sexy CEO Wife

Dugu Jingtian summoned the Grand Steward, Liu Yifei, after his return to the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, what do you summon me for?" Liu Yifei asked with a puzzled expression.

"Come, sit and talk." Dugu Jingtian pointed to the chair opposite him, "I haven't seen you in half a year, and your cultivation has become even more profound."

Liu Yifei pulled out a chair and sat down, humbly saying, "Compared to Your Majesty, I still have a long way to go."

"Don't sell yourself short." Dugu Jingtian waved his hand, "Your current strength is almost the same as mine... "

"Your Majesty..." Liu Yifei began to speak, but was cut off by Dugu Jingtian.

"Yifei, I called you here today because there is a matter of great importance to discuss with you." Dugu Jingtian's expression turned serious, "This matter pertains to the prosperity and honor of the Human Territory, and you must treat it with the utmost seriousness!"

"What is it?"

"I may have to leave."

"Leave?"

"Yes, leave Elysium for another realm."

"What?" Liu Yifei stood up abruptly, eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Dugu Jingtian, "Your Majesty, you must be joking... "

Dugu Jingtian curled his lips, "Do I look like I'm joking right now?"

"This... What on earth is happening?" Liu Yifei became anxious, "Where are you going?"

"The place I'm going to is called Little Heaven World, a place vast and rich with resources, where spiritual energy is dense, it's a blessed land that cultivators dream of..." Dugu Jingtian spent the following time detailing everything about Little Heaven World.

After hearing Dugu Jingtian's explanation, Liu Yifei was stupefied, taking a good while before coming back to his senses, "Little Heaven World... Is this for real? Such a wonderful place actually exists? To possess the strength of an immortal in a mortal body, with longevity greatly extended... This... This is like a fantasy... "

"I know it's hard for you to believe, but this is the truth!" Dugu Jingtian enunciated slowly, "I've already had it thoroughly investigated, Little Heaven World truly exists."

Liu Yifei didn't know what to say...

"You know that my lifespan is reaching its limit, and if I don't find a way to extend it, I will die." Dugu Jingtian let out a quiet sigh, "The longer one lives, the more one fears death! I'm no exception, I too wish to continue living and enjoying the riches and honors of the world."

"You just mentioned... Little Heaven World was established by a group of cultivators from the Primordial Era?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Yes." Dugu Jingtian nodded.

"They altered the laws of Little Heaven World? To greatly enhance cultivation and longevity for cultivators, allowing them to possess the strength of immortals in mortal bodies?" Liu Yifei continued to inquire.

"Yes." Dugu Jingtian nodded.

"You also said, after entering Little Heaven World, one's lifespan could increase by several times, even more than tenfold?"

"Yes."

"In that case, even if one successfully enters Little Heaven World, they would still face death in the end?"

"...Yes, unless one sheds their mortal coil and becomes a true Immortal, they will ultimately die." Dugu Jingtian let out a sigh.

Liu Yifei raised an eyebrow, "If that's so, why not try Ascension by Crossing Tribulation? Are you afraid of failing? To become an Immortal, one must bear the risks... With your strength, you should be able to pass the Heavenly Tribulation..."

"You don't understand." Dugu Jingtian said with a bitter smile as he shook his head, "It's impossible to cross the Tribulation and ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"Why is it impossible?" Liu Yifei frowned.

"Because the passage to ascend to the Immortal Realm has been sealed," Dugu Jingtian said somberly. "No matter how hard a cultivator trains, they can never ascend to the Immortal Realm in the end."

"What? The passage to the Immortal Realm is sealed?!" Liu Yifei exclaimed in disbelief. "How could this be? How did you find out? It's not just some blind rumor, is it?"

"It's not a blind rumor! It's true! The passage to the Immortal Realm has indeed been sealed!" Dugu Jingtian said with conviction.

"How could this be..." Liu Yifei said in a daze, "So you're saying... I'll never be able to ascend to the Immortal Realm in this lifetime..." Liu Yifei was universally acknowledged as a cultivation fanatic, sacrificing too much for his training, like power, like women... He trained frantically with the hope that one day he would ascend to the Immortal Realm and become an immortal who would live as long as the heavens and the earth! Now Dugu Jingtian was telling him the passage to the Immortal Realm was sealed, and no matter how hard Liu Yifei tried, he could never ascend to the Immortal Realm... In this moment, Liu Yifei's beliefs, upheld for centuries, came crashing down, leaving him completely stunned...

"Look on the bright side," Dugu Jingtian patted Liu Yifei on the shoulder. "Even though we can't go to the Immortal Realm, we can go to a smaller celestial realm. We may not have eternal life, but we can live tens of thousands of years... Tens of thousands of years... That's quite long..."

"I'll come with you!" Liu Yifei suddenly raised his head, his eyes intently fixed on Dugu Jingtian. "I'll go to the smaller celestial realm with you!"

"Er... you're definitely going... but not right now..."

"Why not?"

"Because you need to stay here and look after the Human Territory."

"Me, look after it?"

"That's right! After I leave, you will take my place as the ruler of the human race."

"That's not possible," Liu Yifei vehemently shook his head. "I'm too accustomed to being free and lazy, and I have a terrible temper. I can't be the ruler..."

"How will you know if you don't try?"

"No need to try! I know my own strengths and weaknesses. I really can't be the ruler; you should choose someone else. I'm truly not fit for it."

"I've thought it over carefully, and only you are the most suitable to take the position. Firstly, your cultivation is high enough, and secondly, your seniority is sufficient. You may be a bit old-fashioned, but you do things methodically according to the laws. In conclusion, I can't find a better candidate than you," Dugu Jingtian said with a smile. "Alright, no more refusals, it's decided."

"Aiyah, I'm not interested in the position of ruler," Liu Yifei said with a dejected expression. "I'm only interested in cultivating immortality... My greatest dream is to become an immortal..."

"I really have no choice! My lifespan is reaching its limits; I must go to the smaller celestial realm... but I can't rest easy leaving the Human Territory behind... So I can only ask for your help! For the sake of our many years of friendship, please do me this favor."

Under Dugu Jingtian's persuasion, Liu Yifei eventually agreed.

"Alright! I agree," Liu Yifei nodded helplessly. "But I have one condition."

"Speak," said Dugu Jingtian with a smile. "Not just one condition; I would agree to a hundred conditions for you."

"I'll be the ruler for at most a century, and after a hundred years, I will come to the smaller celestial realm to find you!"

"Only a hundred years?"

"That is my only condition," Liu Yifei said with a resolute tone.

"Fine, I agree," Dugu Jingtian said with a bitter smile. "While others are scrambling to take the throne, you... have absolutely no interest. I really want to crack open your head and see exactly what you have packed inside!" As he said this, Dugu Jingtian paused. "I have just one request for you, before you go to the smaller celestial realm, you must find a suitable successor to ensure that the Human Territory continues to thrive."

Liu Yifei nodded. "That's for certain!"
