My Sexy CEO Wife

Gao Fei shook his head, "I've never been to the Small Heavenly Realm, so I don't understand the situation inside, but I heard... some people in the Small Heavenly Realm are incredibly formidable, possessing the strength of immortals in mortal bodies."

"What? What did you say!" Duanmu Hong's face changed drastically, "Possessing the strength of immortals in mortal bodies? How is that possible! Mortals are mortals, they can never reach the level of immortals in their lifetime!"

"I also heard about it, whether it's true or not, I don't know," Gao Fei said.

"Who did you hear it from!"

"His Royal Highness, He Hentian's grandfather Dugu Jingtian."

"How does he know about it?"

"It seems he learned about it from an ancient text..." Gao Fei said uncertainly.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Mortals having the strength of immortals, that's just nonsense!" Duanmu Hong shook her head incessantly, "Absolutely impossible!"

"Senior, as I said before, the laws of heaven and earth in the Small Heavenly Realm have been altered, perhaps it really is possible for mortals to have the strength of immortals..." Gao Fei said slowly.

"..." Duanmu Hong shook her head, "I still can't believe it..."

"Hearing is deceptive, seeing is believing. Just go to the Small Heavenly Realm yourself and see, then you'll know if it's true or false."

"You're right! Only what one sees with one's own eyes is the truth! I've decided, I'll go to the Small Heavenly Realm and see for myself!"

"Senior, don't be impulsive, I think it's best you don't go to the Small Heavenly Realm right now," Gao Fei advised hastily.

"Why would you say that?" Duanmu Hong's face darkened.

Gao Fei let out a stifled breath and spoke in a calm tone, "Have you considered? What if everything I've said is true? What if there really are cultivators with the strength of immortals in mortal bodies? With your current strength, you definitely wouldn't be able to defeat them, and you would end up being bullied by them, or even killed."

"Don't spread alarmist talk here," Duanmu Hong's face turned.

Gao Fei shook his head and said earnestly, "I'm not spreading alarmist talk, I'm speaking the truth! Senior, in Elysium, you are a top-notch expert, with very few who can threaten you. But if you go to the Small Heavenly Realm, the situation could reverse completely. You could very well become the least significant presence there, and in any realm, the rule of the survival of the fittest never changes. The weak are always subject to abuse by the strong..."

Duanmu Hong's face grew increasingly ugly. Although she was angry, she had to admit that Gao Fei made a lot of sense.

"In Elysium, you are an exalted supreme powerhouse. Go to the Small Heavenly Realm and you'll fall from your pedestal, becoming an insignificant nobody. Whether you can even survive is a question." Gao Fei deliberately exaggerated a bit to instill fear in Duanmu Hong, only then could he negotiate more effectively.

Duanmu Hong pondered for a moment, "There is... a possibility in what you say. However, I only have a hundred years left to live. I haven't lived enough yet, I don't want to die. To pursue a longer life span, I must go to the Small Heavenly Realm."

"I can understand," Gao Fei nodded, "If it were me, I would also go to the Small Heavenly Realm. However... before going to the Small Heavenly Realm, you should make more preparations."

"Preparation? What preparation?" Duanmu Hong raised an eyebrow, her two jet-black eyes looking toward Gao Fei.

"Going to the Little Heavenly Realm alone would mean facing dangers without any help, but what if a group of people went? Wouldn't we be able to support and help each other, significantly increasing our chances of survival?"

"A group of people?"

"Yes, I won't hide it from you, Senior. Both He Hentian and I want to visit the Little Heavenly Realm to see what's so magical about this realm."

"So that's what this is all about," Duanmu Hong, ever so astute, saw right through Gao Fei's intentions. "You want me to wait, wait until you and your companions have cultivated to the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection, and then we go to the Little Heavenly Realm together? Is that what you're saying?"

"Senior is wise indeed!" Gao Fei raised a thumbs-up. "That's exactly what I'm thinking! If we go together, we can watch out for each other. What do you say?"

Duanmu Hong looked at Gao Fei with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Even if both of you cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection, you won't be as strong as me. Once we're in the Little Heavenly Realm, not only would you two not be of help to me, you'd be a burden instead. I might as well go by myself."

"Senior seems to underestimate us." Gao Fei pouted. "He Hentian and I are not just for show; we won't become a burden to you."

"I am underestimating you," Duanmu Hong said bluntly. "But you have reminded me that it is indeed risky to go to the Little Heavenly Realm alone. I should find more help, maybe someone like Xiao Zutianji from the Myriad Buddhas Sect? He would be a good choice."

"...How about this? Let's go to the Little Heavenly Realm together. Once we're there, if you, Senior, find He Hentian and me to be burdens, we'll leave and won't hold you back. How does that sound?" Gao Fei proposed. "Without my guidance, it would be difficult for you, Senior, to find the entrance to the Little Heavenly Realm."

Duanmu Hong pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Fine, I'll wait for you. I'll use the time to improve my strength and look for some more helpers." Duanmu Hong was a cautious woman; knowing that the Little Heavenly Realm was fraught with danger, she wouldn't enter recklessly and needed to prepare thoroughly before going.

"In that case, we are allies now," Gao Fei said with a big grin. "Allies should help each other, like the recent joint attack on the Human Territory by the Demon Race and the Demon Clan..."

"Let's keep things separate; don't mix them up," Duanmu Hong's face changed as she spoke, not giving any quarter.

"Senior, aren't you afraid I'll die at the border?" Gao Fei said. "If I die, there won't be anyone to lead you to the Little Heavenly Realm. Also, as far as I know, the Demon Race and the Demon Clan possess many treasures. Don't you want to rob them? With more treasures, you'd be better protected in the Little Heavenly Realm, right?" he paused and added, "Who knows, the Demon Race and the Demon Clan might even have Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicine."

"You little rascal..." Duanmu Hong glared at Gao Fei. "You sure know how to tempt someone."

"Senior, it must be so boring staying in the ancient tomb every day. You should get out more. Don't you want to become famous, to be revered by people? I guarantee it! If you just show up and repel the Demon Race and the Demon Clan, you'll be seen as the protector of the Human Race, and they'll remember you for generations."

"Enough, stop talking," Duanmu Hong waved her hand dismissively. "I don't care about those empty honors at all!"

"But Senior,"

"However, you're right about one thing. Getting more treasures to better protect ourselves in the Little Heavenly Realm is a good idea. The Demon Race and the Demon Clan are ancient and powerful, surely they have hoarded plenty of treasures. I'll join you to meet them. If they hand over the treasures peacefully, I'll let them live. But if they dare to mess with me, I'll crush them and then plunder their territory for treasures!"

"That's badass!" Gao Fei raised both thumbs in admiration. "Senior, you're amazing! I've only ever looked up to you in my life! You're my idol! Those Demon Race and Demon Clan members may act all high and mighty, but that's because they've never met you. Otherwise, they'd be wetting themselves with fear and wouldn't dare invade the Human Territory!"
