My Sexy CEO Wife

In an ancient tomb of unknown provenance, they found a female corpse, untouched by decay, lying in an ice coffin, her eyes half-closed as if she were merely asleep.

He Hentian took one look at the corpse and was smitten, and he started bargaining with Gao Fei, hoping Gao Fei would relinquish the corpse to him.

Although Gao Fei was struck by the beauty of the corpse, he had little interest in it, however, he didn't want to agree to He Hentian's request too readily. He saw an opportunity to extort He Hentian, to gain some additional benefits.

"When we open the ice coffin later, apart from the female corpse, everything else goes to me," Gao Fei stated his terms.

"Damn it!" He Hentian's eyes widened in disbelief: "Aren't you being a little too greedy?"

"You could just say no," Gao Fei shrugged with nonchalance, "I'm not forcing you to agree."

"You…" He Hentian's face twitched in anger, "I can't give you everything! At most… I'll let you choose first! That's the biggest concession I can make!"

"Choose first, how many?"

"One!"

"What?"

"Two! No more than that!"

"No good! At least ten!"

After some haggling, they agreed on five items. Once the ice coffin was opened, Gao Fei would get to pick five treasures first, and the rest would be divided equally between them.

"You're too cunning," He Hentian said resentfully. "That's just not decent! Aren't we friends? And even you're trying to cheat me."

"Blood brothers still settle accounts clearly, let alone friends?" Gao Fei retorted irritably. "Enough talk, let's figure out how to open this coffin already."

"I'll check for mechanisms first, to see if there are any on the ice coffin." He Hentian flicked out a burst of Qi with his finger. "Snap!" The Qi hit the ice coffin with a crisp sound. After waiting for a moment, the coffin showed no reaction: "No mechanisms? Impossible, right? The previous coffins all had mechanisms, why doesn't this one have any?"

"No mechanisms is a good thing," Gao Fei chuckled. "Saves us a lot of effort."

"I'll open the coffin." He Hentian rummaged in his storage ring for a moment, then took out a dagger radiating an intense cold, "This is crafted from ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow, extremely sharp, a Supreme Grade Treasure." While talking, He Hentian began to cut into the ice coffin with the dagger.

One cut, two cuts, three cuts…

The dagger was indeed sharp; with each strike, it left a deep gash on the ice coffin. However… in the blink of an eye, the marks disappeared, the ice coffin restored as if untouched.

"What's going on?" He Hentian's expression changed: "Does this ice coffin have the ability to restore itself automatically?"

Gao Fei nodded, "I knew this ice coffin wasn't simple."

"I'm going to break it open today!" He Hentian increased his speed, the dagger flipping rapidly in his hand as he slashed at the ice coffin. His movements were quick, yet the regenerative speed of the coffin was even faster; almost simultaneously, as soon as the dagger left a mark, the coffin healed itself.

"Stop wasting your effort," Gao Fei shook his head. "You won't be able to open the ice coffin like that."

"Then what do we do?" He Hentian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Right! Use the Li Fire! The Li Fire is yang, the ice coffin is yin, the Li Fire can suppress it perfectly."

"Using the Li Fire is an option, but you need to be mentally prepared."

"Prepared for what?"

"The Li Fire is too overbearing; it's very easy to accidentally incinerate the corpse."

"… can't you be careful?"

"I can only do my best. If we manage to open the ice coffin smoothly, then say no more, but if something goes wrong, don't blame me."

"This... okay then." He Hentian nodded. "Do your thing, I trust you." He Hentian stepped aside and gave the floor to Gao Fei.

Gao Fei walked over, bent down, and looked at the female corpse in the ice coffin. His lips moved slightly as he muttered a few sentences—too softly for anyone to make out what he was saying. Just as Gao Fei was about to use the Li Fire to burn the ice coffin, his face suddenly contorted in horror: "Ah!" Gao Fei cried out in alarm, then hastily retreated backward, seemingly spooked by something.

"What's wrong with you?" He Hentian asked with concern.

"She... she..." Gao Fei stood at a distance, his body trembling, as he raised his hand pointing at the ice coffin: "She... she..."

"What about her?"

"She's still alive."

"What?" He Hentian was startled: "Are you dreaming? She's clearly dead! How could she still be alive?"

"Really, I truly saw it..."

"What exactly did you see?"

"Just now, she opened her eyes and looked at me."

"What? She opened her eyes? Impossible!" A chill surged through He Hentian's heart: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Yes! You must have seen it wrong! How could a woman who has been dead for countless years open her eyes? Are you perhaps too nervous, so much so that you're hallucinating?"

"It's definitely not a hallucination." Gao Fei asserted: "I saw it for real! She truly opened her eyes! If you don't believe it... go over there and see for yourself."

"Me? Go and see?" He Hentian glanced back at the ice coffin, hesitating, "Damn it! What am I afraid of?! She's clearly a dead person! Even if she did come back to life, I wouldn't be afraid of her!" He Hentian took a few deep breaths and then, mustering his courage, walked towards the ice coffin.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The closer He Hentian got to the ice coffin, the nearer he was... Very soon, He Hentian saw the female corpse inside the ice coffin... Standing in front of the ice coffin, He Hentian looked down in silence for a long time.

"Hey? Did you see it?" Gao Fei called out: "Is she opening her eyes, or not? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"You did indeed lie to me."

"Ah?"

"Her eyes have been closed the whole time."

"Closed? Are you sure you didn't get it wrong?"

"You come over here and see! Look if her eyes are closed! I've been watching her for quite a while now, and she hasn't opened her eyes."

"But I really did see it just now?" Gao Fei frowned, puzzled: "Could it really have been my mistake? That shouldn't be the case? My eyesight isn't bad?" After pondering for a moment, Gao Fei stepped towards the ice coffin, "Closed eyes?" The female corpse lay peacefully in the ice coffin, her eyes slightly closed, motionless.

"See? I told you that you saw it wrong, didn't I?" He Hentian laughed: "How could a person dead for so many years come back to life?"

Did I really see it wrong? Gao Fei furrowed his brow, his eyes fixed intently on the female corpse.

"Stop looking and let the Li Fire get to work," He Hentian urged.

Gao Fei's brow remained deeply furrowed, and even though he was fairly certain he had been mistaken, he just couldn't shake off a sense of unease, or rather, disquiet.

"What are you thinking about?" He Hentian pushed Gao Fei: "Get going and do it."

"Sigh..." Gao Fei slowly exhaled a deep breath: "Stop rushing me, I'm about to do it." After steadying his emotions, Gao Fei released the Li Fire to burn the ice coffin: one represented yang, the other yin, the cold. In the end, who would prevail?

Would yang suppress the yin cold? Or would the yin cold overpower yang?

Let us wait and see.
