My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Thinking of Xue Lin, Qingfeng Li felt a rush of feelings; he really missed her.

However, this was not the time to miss Xue Lin, as he was still in the ocean.

Standing atop the Ice Island, Qingfeng Li could see sea monsters from afar behind the protective black veil. However, the sea monsters retreated at the sight of them, because they were all afraid of the Black Tortoise and its veil.

Qingfeng Li felt the power of the underwater monsters using his spiritual energy – each of them were at the Spirit King Realm or even higher.

If he wasn’t protected by the Black Tortoise’s light veil, Qingfeng Li would have died for sure.

A few hours later, the Ice Island, protected by the Black Tortoise, surfaced from the ocean.

The light veil disappeared as they emerged from the waters, and the Black Tortoise returned to the bottom of the sea. It was the protector of the space plane, and therefore couldn’t be away for long.

Qingfeng Li stared at the horizon, his heart filled with excitement.

”I’m out, I finally escaped from the underwater mainland,” Qingfeng Li exclaimed happily as he stared at the ocean, sky, and sun.

Of course he was happy – escaping the underwater mainland felt like a rebirth!

The others around him were excited as well; being able to return on the mainland meant that they had survived once more.

Qingfeng Li took out his cellphone from his interspatial ring, and dialed Fengwu Cao’s number.

He had been keeping his cellphone in his interspatial ring in case it got broken by accident.

Fengwu Cao was quick to pick up the phone. She asked where Qingfeng Li was and if he needed to be picked up.

Qingfeng Li told Fengwu Cao where he was and asked her to pick him up with a passenger ship and helicopter; then, he sat down with his legs crossed, and began cultivating his energy.

He had an urgent feeling that something dangerous heading their way, so he wanted to utilize all the time he on cultivation before anything happened.

While cultivating energy, Qingfeng Li also revolved the Heavenly Immortal Chant within his body, enabling it to absorb the vital essence of the heavens and earth. A great amount of vital essence was injected into his skin, muscles, bones and blood.

Bam!

The vital essence of their surroundings gathered like a tsunami and shook like an earthquake as it all shot into Qingfeng Li’s body.

The speed at which he absorbed the vital essence was impressive; thanks to the Heavenly Immortal Chant, he was able to take in all the vital essence around him.

The other mainland self-cultivators’ expressions changed into shock as they saw what Qingfeng Li was doing.

They had their own self-cultivation practices, but none of them were as fast and powerful as that of Qingfeng Li.

The battles on the ocean bottom helped him better understand his cultivation technique.

Qingfeng Li could feel the power of his vital essence growing quickly and significantly. It obviously wanted to break through but needed an opportunity.

Two hours later, Fengwu Cao arrived at Ice Island with a passenger ship and a dozen helicopters.

”Qingfeng Li, are you alright?” Fengwu Cao asked Qingfeng Li, her pretty face filled with worry.

He shook his head, ”I’m fine, thanks for coming so fast. We need to get out of here immediately.”

She nodded her head, as she knew that Qingfeng Li was desperate to save his wife, Xue Lin. There was no time to waste.

Qingfeng Li and the group got onto the passenger ship and left the Ice Island.

As for the other self-cultivators, they continued waiting on the island for other passenger ships, because this one was here just to pick up Qingfeng Li.

The passenger ship moved at a fast speed, knocking down the waves in the sea and creating giant waves behind them.

All of the sea monsters that emerged their heads from the ocean were immediately killed by Qingfeng Li and his Golden Light Sword, with their blood dying the ocean red.

Qingfeng Li was extremely strong, and none of the monsters were a match for them.

”Director Cao, did anything happen in Huaxia while I was away?” Qingfeng Li asked.

He’s been gone for a while now and wanted to know if anything out of the ordinary happened while he was gone.

Fengwu Cao replied, ”Many things have happened in Huaxia recently. There have been irregularities at the famous mountains and rivers – the Kunlun Mountains, Sky Mountain, Yangtze River, Yellow River…treasures have been uncovered, and relics have been emerging.”

Qingfeng Li furrowed his eyebrows, ”What about the self-cultivation forces?”

Fengwu Cao replied, ”Many of the hidden self-cultivating sects revealed themselves to the world. They’re all extremely powerful, and many are powerhouses of the Spirit King Realm. A handful of old monsters and young talents emerged to fight over Huaxia’s treasures as well.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. He wasn’t surprised that self-cultivators came out to snatch the treasures as soon as they appeared in Huaxia, because all self-cultivators yearned for such treasures.

He knew that Huaxia was a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with many masters that normally hid themselves from the rest of the world.

These individuals cultivated powerful techniques and wouldn’t appear unless absolutely necessary.

”Oh right, I meant to tell you something else. According to our recent intel, many of the self-cultivators from the west, mostly that of the Tiger Continent, have been eyeing us. I’m assuming there’s something we have that they want?” Fengwu Cao told Qingfeng Li with a serious expression on her face.

This was an important intel of the self-cultivation world.

Normally, only Fengwu Cao and those from the Special Secure Bureau could get their hands on such intel. Luckily, Qingfeng Li was part of the Special Secure Bureau.

The western self-cultivating world?

Qingfeng Li frowned. He knew about the western self-cultivators. They were enemies of the east.

A battle of the self-cultivating world erupted in the past because those from the west wanted to steal the treasures and powerful techniques of the East.

Smiling faintly, he said, ”If they dare come to Huaxia, I’ll make sure they never make it back.”

Fengwu Cao had no doubt that Qingfeng Li was a man of his word.

She knew that the young man in front of his was extremely powerful; he was the most talented man of the self-cultivator world.

She couldn’t see through Qingfeng Li’s power anymore, and she knew that it’s a sign of Qingfeng becoming even stronger than before.

The passenger ship sped on. Six hours later, they arrived on the mainland of Huaxia, at the city of Guangshen.

Guangshen was a coastal city with a developed economy. As the hub of southern Huaxia, the city boasted a high population.
