My Top-Tier Tycoon Wife

"You... you, don't come any closer!"

"Chen Shuisheng, I'm telling you, even if you get my body, you won't get my heart!"

"Ah... don't..."

Xia Chan's face turned red and then white, her heart pounding with tension as she continuously backed away from Luo Xiu's advance. Luo Xiu grasped her shoulders and held her firmly in place. "What Divine Skill did you comprehend in that secret realm?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chan was stunned.

So this guy was after my Divine Skill. Seeing his lecherous look, I thought he was after... that.

Xia Chan felt a bit relieved. "That Divine Skill has already merged with me, and I haven't perfected it yet. I can't even manifest it right now, so even if you ask me, I wouldn't know anything, let alone be able to hand it over to you."

She added, "Since you also possess Divine Skills, you should know... they aren't something that can be explained with words. One can only comprehend and merge with them personally."

Luo Xiu let go of her shoulders. "That's true."

He suddenly remembered something and asked again, "Where's the Green Lotus you snatched from the Green Lotus Palace?"

Xia Chan frowned. "Where is Yingxiao, then?"

"She's dead. Died horribly."

Hearing this, Xia Chan's expression darkened.

Luo Xiu said, "It's your turn to answer my question."

Xia Chan replied, "I already turned in that Green Lotus. It's not in my possession."

Luo Xiu took a deep breath. "I really fucking want to strangle you."

"If you hate me so much, why did you save me?"

Luo Xiu didn't answer her question. He turned his back to her and suddenly yelled, "Pagoda Spirit!"

"Hey there, my lord! I'm here. What are your orders?" a childlike voice, thick with a mercenary air, echoed from the Void.

This was none other than the voice of the River Demon Pagoda Spirit.

Hearing the Pagoda Spirit's sycophantic response, Xia Chan was speechless.

This Pagoda Mountain's Treasure of Mountain Calming is one of the top Magical Treasures in the Martial Artist world, even considered a Divine Artifact. How could the spirit of a Divine Artifact be so pathetic? And what exactly did this degenerate doctor do to make it so terrified?

Luo Xiu spoke indifferently, "I'll give you two choices. Either submit to me and become my Magical Treasure from now on.

"Or, I'll burn you."

As he spoke, a cluster of Indestructible Divine Flame emerged in his palm, flickering and dancing like a sprite.

"Hey, no, my lord!" the spirit shrieked. "We can talk this out!"

Luo Xiu's tone grew heavy. "I don't have the patience to beat around the bush with you. Just answer."

"Uh... well, to be honest, I'm also really pissed off at that old guy. I've fucking hated him for ages! If it weren't for him making live sacrifices of so many livestock to me every month, I would have left him long ago!"

Luo Xiu smiled faintly. "Live sacrifices of livestock? What's that worth? Stick with me, and I'll use Demon Beasts for your live sacrifices."

"Really?!"

Luo Xiu said, "I can use this Divine Fire to extinguish you at any moment. I control your life and death, so do you think I need to trick you with empty promises?"

"Boss, please accept this little brother's bow! Heh heh, Boss, from now on, I'll be living the good life with you!"

Luo Xiu said, "Then let's give you a name."

"Please bestow a name upon me, Boss!"

Luo Xiu pondered for a moment. "You're the legendary River Demon Pagoda, so from now on, I'll call you... Little Pouch."

"Boss, your literary grace is extraordinary! You're so learned! What a fantastic name!

"Let me tell you, Boss, that old man named me 'Gui Zhao.' That name is so damn tacky!"

Luo Xiu chuckled and nodded. "You flatter me, you flatter me."

At this, Xia Chan was completely speechless.

This is insane. How does the name "Little Pouch" have anything to do with being "extraordinarily literary and learned"? And you call yourself a doctor with glasses... how could you pick such a tacky name? His original name, 'Gui Zhao,' sounded so much more poetic, didn't it?

As if noticing the change in Xia Chan's expression, Little Pouch asked, "Sister-in-law, are you perhaps dissatisfied with my new name?"

Hearing this, Xia Chan's face darkened, and she said coldly, "I'm not your sister-in-law. Don't call me that."

"Boss, look at her temper... Let me tell you, Boss, you have to beat a woman. A good beating will make her obedient. That's what the stinking old man told me."

Xia Chan's eyes widened, and she snarled through gritted teeth, "Go on, try and hit me."

SMACK!

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Luo Xiu's hand slapped her on the buttocks.

Xia Chan glared at Luo Xiu, tears of humiliation welling up in her eyes.

In her entire life, no one had ever dared to spank her.

"Chen Shuisheng, you dare to hit me... I swear I'll kill you today!"

Luo Xiu's expression turned fierce as he raised his hand, ready to strike again.

Frightened, Xia Chan hastily dodged to the side, not daring to utter another word.

Luo Xiu smiled in satisfaction. "I didn't expect this to be so effective. Even an enchantress from a Heretic Cult is afraid."

Little Pouch chuckled. "Heh heh, right, Boss? Learned something new and weird today, huh?"

Luo Xiu cleared his throat twice and spoke earnestly, "Now that you've joined me, shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

After pondering for a long moment, Little Pouch suddenly said, "I've got it! Just wait a moment, Boss!"

A moment later, Luo Xiu saw a figure flash before his eyes.

Looking up, he found that the old man, Wu Chaozu, had been captured and brought in.

At this moment, Wu Chaozu was completely baffled. He looked left and right, not understanding what was happening. Just a moment ago, he had been traveling along just fine, then suddenly a mysterious force had snatched him into this chaotic Void.

It wasn't until he saw Luo Xiu and Xia Chan that he realized he was inside the River Demon Pagoda.

"Gui Zhao, what is the meaning of this? I am your master! Why have you brought me here?"

"You're my master? Heh, you old bastard! To hell with you!" After greeting Wu Chaozu's family with a torrent of curses, Little Pouch summoned numerous whips of light and divine chains from the Void, which coiled tightly around the old man.

"Heh heh, Boss, how's this for a show of sincerity?

"Just say the word, and I'll kill this old man to let you vent!"

Luo Xiu nodded slightly, his tone appreciative. "Not bad. This is sincere enough. Refine him, but remember to leave the Dao Yuan for me."

"Boss, how did you know about the Dao Yuan?" Little Pouch asked, surprised.

Luo Xiu smiled faintly, saying nothing.

In truth, he had read about the River Demon Pagoda in ancient tomes when he was very young. He knew that its most perverse ability was to refine anything and everything into the purest Dao Yuan. And that was the main reason he wanted to claim the River Demon Pagoda for himself. Come to think of it, he really ought to thank Wu Chaozu for delivering such a treasure to him from so far away.
