My Sexy CEO Wife

"All right, stop blowing your own horn or you'll burst the hide." Gao Fei snorted.

"Who's blowing their own horn? Huh! Who is? Make yourself clear! Who exactly is blowing their own horn!"

"It's you who's doing it."

"I'm not!"

"You did."

"I didn't."

...

Watching the two of them bickering and gesticulating wildly, Shangguan Yunyue couldn't help but feel amused.

"Okay, both of you stop quarreling," Shangguan Yunyue intervened as a mediator. "It's not worth it to argue over such a trivial matter. Brother He, I'm tired. Could you find me a room to rest?"

"No problem! I'll arrange it right away." He Hentian glared at Gao Fei. "For Lady Shangguan's sake, I'll let it slide this time, but you listen up, I never blow my own horn."

"You..." Gao Fei was about to speak when Shangguan Yunyue stopped him.

"Enough, say less." Shangguan Yunyue said, "We're all grown-ups here, bickering like children, not feeling the least bit ashamed."

With Shangguan Yunyue's intervention, Gao Fei and He Hentian finally ceased their quarrel, though neither was willing to concede. They agreed to postpone their disagreement to another day.

...

An antique-style room.

Shangguan Yunyue lay in bed asleep, while Gao Fei sat nearby deep in thought.

"Swoosh!"

A bright light flashed, and a stone appeared in the palm of Gao Fei's hand, the Thousand Transformations Stone.

Back at the Myriad Buddhas Sect, the Thousand Transformations Stone suddenly showed its mighty power and absorbed many things. Because there was no time to inspect it then, Gao Fei only now found the time to check on the condition of the Thousand Transformations Stone.

"Thousand Transformations Stone, what secrets are you hiding?"

"All this time, I thought you could only change shapes. I didn't expect you to be able to absorb things."

"Where have you hidden those things? Could it be that your body contains another space?"

"Come on, let's have a thorough check."

Gao Fei concentrated his mental power, enveloping the Thousand Transformations Stone, and then he began to explore it bit by bit...

"Huh? There really is a space hidden inside... Wow, this space is huge... extraordinary..."

Once Gao Fei's mental power reached the interior of the Thousand Transformations Stone, he discovered an immensely large space. To his surprise, the space had air, clouds, and even the Sun - damn! What kind of space is this? It looks like an independent world!

...

In a wondrous space.

A little figure was curiously surveying its surroundings. The figure bore a striking resemblance to Gao Fei; it was a manifestation of Gao Fei's mental power, allowing all that the little figure saw to be transmitted directly to Gao Fei's mind.

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"

The little figure exclaimed, "I'd bet my head on it! This is definitely an independent world! Ordinary spatial realms couldn't possibly have the Sun, let alone air and soil."

The little figure sniffed with its nose, then its face showed an ecstatic expression. The air here was so fresh, and it was laden with exceptionally pure spiritual energy.

"Xuan Jizi! Xuan Jizi! Come out quickly!" Gao Fei called Xuan Jizi with his mental power.

"What's up again?" Xuan Jizi's somewhat lazy voice came from the depths of his mind, "I'm sleeping right now. Can't you wait a bit before yelling for me? Disturbing someone's sleep is very impolite."

"Xuan Jizi, do you know? There's an Independent World inside the Thousand Transformations Stone."

"Eh... Huh? What did you say? An Independent World? Are you kidding me? How is that even possible!"

"Who's joking with you, I'm serious. If you don't believe it, you can come out and see for yourself."

"Really or not?" Xuan Jizi drifted out from the depths of Gao Fei's mind, and then inspected the outside through Gao Fei's mental power, "Sss, it really is an Independent World, this... how is this possible? When I first got the Thousand Transformations Stone, I studied it carefully and never discovered an Independent World hidden inside."

"I hadn't noticed before either," Gao Fei said. "If it weren't for the Thousand Transformations Stone suddenly showing its mighty power and absorbing lots of stuff this time, I wouldn't have discovered that it had an Independent World inside."

"You're the lucky one." Xuan Jizi said with a wry smile, "Despite the fact that I was the one who found the Thousand Transformations Stone, I never realized that it contained an Independent World. I've always treated it as a Spiritual Treasure. Now it seems I was really too foolish, foolish to the extreme." After saying this, Xuan Jizi paused, "This Independent World was discovered by you, so you're its master. Quickly refine it, tsk tsk tsk, that's really incredible. Being so young and already becoming the master of a realm, your future is boundless."

"How do I refine this Independent World?" Gao Fei asked.

"You don't know?"

"This is the first time I've encountered such a situation..."

"Actually... I don't know either..."

"You..."

"Don't rush me. Although I don't know, I can think of a way for you."

"Think quickly!" Gao Fei grunted, "If you can't figure it out, I will deal with you."

"I was thinking, if we treat this Independent World like a treasure for refinement, wouldn't that be much simpler?" Xuan Jizi said, "Isn't my idea good?"

"Treat it like a treasure for refinement? How is that possible?" Gao Fei scoffed, "When we refine treasures, we usually drip blood onto the treasure and then establish a mental connection with it. You want to drip blood for this Independent World too? Where would I drip blood? Such a huge area, how much blood would you need? Even if I drained all the blood in my body, I guess it wouldn't be enough, right?"

"I was just speaking off the top of my head. If you disagree, then forget it."

"Better to depend on myself than to rely on others. In critical moments, you still have to rely on yourself."

Gao Fei started researching on his own and tried every method he could think of, including dripping blood. He dripped several drops of fresh blood onto the ground, to no avail.

"How's it going? Did you come up with anything?" Xuan Jizi asked.

"Still thinking." Gao Fei shook his head.

"I suddenly have an idea..."

"What's your idea now? It's not another lousy suggestion, is it?"

"I was thinking, all things have a spiritual essence, the Independent World, being material, should also have spirituality," Xuan Jizi said. "As long as you find the spirituality of the Independent World and communicate with it, allowing the spirituality to accept and recognize you, then the Independent World will belong to you."

"Huh?" Gao Fei raised an eyebrow, "That sounds somewhat reasonable. But the key question is, how do I find the spirituality of the Independent World?"

"With the Independent World being so vast, if the spirituality is hiding, you'll never find it," Xuan Jizi said. "You should find a way to make the spirituality come out willingly, to actively communicate with you."

"Is that possible?" Gao Fei frowned.

"Where there's a will, there's a way! As long as you're willing to work hard, there's a possibility of success." Saying this, Xuan Jizi paused, "Try to see if you can send your true form into the Independent World. If your true form can enter the Independent World, things will be much easier."

"Hmm, I'll give it a try," Gao Fei closed his eyes, released all his mental power to wrap around the Thousand Transformations Stone, and then silently chanted: Thousand Transformations Stone, let me enter your body! Let me enter your body!

"Whoosh!"

Gao Fei instantly vanished, leaving only a speck of dust on the ground.
