My Sexy CEO Wife

Imperial Palace.

Inside the great hall.

Emperor Dugu Jingtian was listening to a guard's report on the situation in Heavenly Water City.

"What did you say?" Dugu Jingtian's eyebrows twitched, and his eyes revealed a look of surprise, "He Hentian's personal bodyguard, Iron Bull, was killed by Gao Fei?"

"Yes," the guard nodded.

"If I remember correctly, Iron Bull should be at the Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivation, right?" Dugu Jingtian asked with a heavy voice.

"Transcendance Tribulation Stage, Second Layer."

"What is Gao Fei's current level of cultivation?"

"Unity of Heaven and Man, First Layer."

"…" Dugu Jingtian's face twitched violently, "There's a whole major realm difference, how did Gao Fei kill Iron Bull? This is simply inconceivable." After a pause, Dugu Jingtian added, "Did Gao Fei get help?"

"No," the guard shook his head.

"Gao Fei killed Iron Bull by himself?"

"…It seems so."

"This…this is simply a tall tale! I don't believe it, I can't believe it! A person at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm killing someone from the Tribulation Crossing Realm is complete nonsense!"

"Facts are right here, leaving us no room to disbelieve," the guard said with a wry smile.

Dugu Jingtian fell silent for a moment before shaking his head, "It is indeed a case of 'behold, the general who became a prisoner three days ago'! This Gao Fei…is too unexpected."

"Your Majesty, should we do something?" the guard asked cautiously.

Dugu Jingtian gave the guard an indifferent glance, "What do you want to do?"

"Kill Gao Fei, to prevent future problems," the guard made a throat-slitting gesture.

"No!" Dugu Jingtian outright refused, "I still have use for Gao Fei."

"But…" The guard started to speak but was cut off by Dugu Jingtian.

"Enough," Dugu Jingtian waved his hand, "You may leave. Continue to monitor Heavenly Water City and report to me immediately if there's any special situation."

"Yes," the guard bowed and then turned to leave.

Dugu Jingtian sat on the throne, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "To challenge beyond one's level! And to win, no less, not simple! There must be something fishy about this!"

…

Chaotic Wind City.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion's main hall.

Dongfang Jian was reclining on a soft couch, sipping wine and humming a tune, appearing very relaxed."Creak!"

The tightly closed door was gently pushed open, and Dugu Xiu, dressed in a long gown, entered with measured steps.

"Ah! Princess, what brings you here?" Dongfang Jian put down his wine cup and stood up.

Dugu Xiu glanced around the hall, "I came to see if you are hiding any beauties in a golden house."

"How can that be?" Dongfang Jian said with a wry smile, "In my life, I will only ever love you, Princess. I will never take another woman to heart."

"I'm just kidding with you, look how tense you are," Dugu Xiu walked over, hooked her arm with Dongfang Jian's, and then they both sat down on the couch, "I've just received some news that you'll definitely be interested in."

"News?" Dongfang Jian was taken aback, "What news?"

A mischievous smile curved Dugu Xiu's lips, "It's about Gao Fei."

"Gao Fei?" Dongfang Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, "Did that bastard Gao Fei die? Counting the days, it's been more than half a month since he went to Heavenly Water City, he's probably nothing but bones now, right?"

Dugu Xiu shook her head, "You're going to be disappointed, Gao Fei isn't dead at all."

"What?"

"Not only is Gao Fei not dead, but he's also living quite comfortably."

"How is that possible!" Dongfang Jian cried out in shock, "Didn't you say that there was an incredible figure hidden in Heavenly Water City? As long as Gao Fei went there, he would be tormented to death by this figure, why has there been a change now?"

"Sigh." Dugu Xiu gave a wry smile and shook her head, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this either."

"What do we do?" Dongfang Jian's expression darkened terribly, "Gao Fei must die! As long as he lives, I won't be happy."

"Don't rush, take it slowly, there will eventually be a way," Dugu Xiu consoled.

"Who exactly is this big figure? The last time I asked you, you kept it a secret, can you tell me now?" Dongfang Jian asked in a heavy voice.

"This..." Dugu Xiu hesitated.

"What? You're still keeping secrets from me?" Dongfang Jian was upset, "I am your husband, your closest person, do you not even trust me?" Saying this, Dongfang Jian let out a heavy sigh, "My heart is broken, truly broken to pieces."

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just... this matter involves my father the emperor, so I... well, I will tell you, but you must swear that you absolutely cannot let it out."

"Alright, I swear, I will absolutely not reveal it."

"The prominent figure hidden in Heavenly Water City is called He Hentian; he is my nephew..." Dugu Xiu briefly recounted the matter concerning He Hentian.

"What? There's such a thing?" Dongfang Jian was stunned and took a long while to recover his wits, "No wonder you told me before that as long as Gao Fei went to Heavenly Water City, he would definitely not come out alive."

"Over the years, there are not a hundred city lords who have died at the hands of He Hentian; there are at least eighty. But this time, He Hentian didn't kill Gao Fei, which really is quite unexpected," Dugu Xiu said, frowning.

Dongfang Jian's eyes spun around slyly, and an idea formed in his mind, "Princess, could you contact He Hentian and ask him to kill Gao Fei?"

"Me?" Dugu Xiu was startled, "He Hentian probably won't listen to me."

"Give it a try, what if it works? No matter what, you are his aunt, you share a blood connection, he should give you face."

"Fine, I'll give it a try, but don't blame me if it fails."

"Of course, I won't blame you," Dongfang Jian said with a smile.

Persuaded by Dongfang Jian, Dugu Xiu wrote a letter to He Hentian.

A few days later, Dugu Xiu received a reply from He Hentian, "Wow! He actually replied to me? Unbelievable!"

Dongfang Jian laughed heartily, "I told you! You are He Hentian's aunt; he will definitely give you face. Hurry and open it and see what he wrote, whether he has agreed to kill Gao Fei."

"Look how anxious you are." Dugu Xiu opened the envelope, took out a piece of white paper, and on it were just three words "Get lost, punk!" After seeing these three words, Dugu Xiu was instantly petrified.

"What?" Dongfang Jian was also dumbfounded, his smile slowly fading away...

"Damn it! This is infuriating!" Dugu Xiu, overcome with anger, tore up the letter, "This is so infuriating! Really, I'm so angry!!!"

Dongfang Jian was also very angry, "Such disrespect! No matter what, you are his elder, and he actually speaks to you with that tone, it's just uncultured."

"I told you, he definitely wouldn't give me face, you insisted that I write to him, and now look, I've humiliated myself," said Dugu Xiu, annoyed.

"Alright, don't be angry, I promise you, if there's a chance in the future, I will take care of He Hentian thoroughly, let him learn our might," Dongfang Jian tried to soothe her.
