My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Yifan Feng was unhappy. Xue Lin had refused to speak to him, or to pay any attention to him. This displeased him greatly. Now, he finally knew why. It was all because of this Qingfeng Li.

Yifan Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. “Uncle Feng,” he spoke to the old man beside him, “issue an order. Search the Mystic Sun Realm for Qingfeng Li. I’ll have to see just who this man is, that Xue Lin would love him this much.”

At this, the green-clad old man nodded and took out a tinderbox. He opened it and wrote down a symbol. It was the symbol for contacting all self-cultivators of the Wind Eagle High-Tier Dynasty.

The tinderbox turned into a crimson fiery arrow. It shot into the sky and radiated Monarch Seal Scriptures into the air before disappearing. In all of the Mystic Sun Realm, all self-cultivators of the Wind Eagle Dynasty would be able to see it.

And once they see it, they would decrypt the symbol to obtain the message contained within. Then, they would all search for Qingfeng Li, gathering information on him and reporting it all to Yifan Feng.

Five minutes later, the spirit vessel stopped at a fork in the road.

Yifan Feng inquired, “Which way do we go now?”

Beside him, the green-robed old man looked ahead for a moment before he answered. “To the left is the Five-Poison City, and to the right is the Sky Rat City.”

Seeing that the spirit vessel had stopped, Xue Lin’s brows furrowed. She had naturally heard the exchange between Yifan Feng and the green-robed old man. She didn’t know why, but Xue Lin wanted to go left.

Xue Lin had a vague feeling that Qingfeng Li was waiting for her at the Five-Poison City to the left. This was both a result of her womanly instincts and her bond of marriage with Qingfeng Li.

Xue Lin walked up to the front of the vessel. “Let’s go to the Five-Poison City,” she said.

Hearing this, Yifan Feng’s eyes lit up with delight. This was the first time that this woman had spoken to him. He was naturally very excited.

The whole way here, Xue Lin hadn’t said a single word to him. Toward him, she always had a frigid expression, treating him like he was invisible. Now that Xue Lin was speaking to him, he was extremely happy.

Yifan Feng nodded, preparing to agree to Xue Lin’s request.

The green-clad old man’s expression suddenly changed. “Prince Highness,” he said, “there’s trouble. I sense a massive Devil Wave to the left. There are a million demonic beasts nearby, with Monarch Level Sixth Class demonic beasts among them. Those are Demon Emperors, we’re no match for them. Hurry, escape to the right. We’ll die for sure if we go left!”

Yifan Feng was startled by this. He hurriedly released his own mana energy. Just as he had been told, there were countless demonic beasts toward the north. And there were demon monarchs among them. This fact terrified him, and his face drained of color until it was nearly green.

He was only a master of the spirit monarch realm fourth class, and the old man behind him was only in the fifth class of the spirit monarch realm class. If they encountered a monarch level sixth class demonic beast, they would certainly be killed.

Although Yifan Feng wanted to please Xue Lin, he wouldn’t throw his life away for her. To him, his own survival was the first priority.

Without hesitation, Yifan Feng steered the spirit vessel toward the right. This was the path to Sky Rat City. They flew further and further away from Five-Poison City, going in the opposite direction.

Xue Lin’s face fell, she felt a dull ache in her chest. She had clearly sensed Qingfeng Li, the other seeming to be in the Five-Poison City to the left, but Yifan Feng insisted on going right.

Xue Lin opened her mouth, preparing to speak, when she was stopped by the sect master of the Mystic Ice Sect. Pulling her by the arm, the sect master drew her back.

Xue Lin frowned. “Master,” she said, “why did you pull me away? We should be going left, to Five-Poison City, not right!”

“Lil’ Xue,” the sect master of the Mystic Ice Sect replied, “What are you thinking? We’re on someone else’s boat right now. We’re at Yifan Feng’s mercy. If you express to him that you are displeased, or that you are challenging him, he might kill us. Even though he does like you, and he might let you live due to your beauty, Tian Xuan and this master of yours would lose their lives.”

Xue Lin furrowed her brows. She finally understood what her Master had been worrying about. It was no wonder that, the whole way here, her master had been trying to stay on Yifan Feng’s good side. She had been worried that he would kill them.

Xue Lin still did not have a clear understanding of how cruel the world of self-cultivators was. She thought that, so long as she didn’t kill anyone else, no one would kill her. She was completely wrong. If Yifan Feng hadn’t been intending to court her, he would have killed her Master and Junior Brother.

Seeing that Xue Lin had fallen silent, seeming to understand what she had said, the sect master of the Mystic Ice Sect said, “Lil’ Xue, let’s play nice and follow him. You’ll definitely meet Qingfeng Li someday.”

Xue Lin sighed. She felt that, in going to the right toward the Sky Rat City, she was moving further away from Qingfeng Li. Still, she believed that she would definitely meet up with Qingfeng Li in the Mystic Sun Realm. She only hoped that the time would come quickly.

At the same time, in Five-Poison City, Qingfeng Li felt a pang in his heart. He felt that, just now, he was very close to Xue Lin. But for reasons unknown, Xue Lin had suddenly left him and headed in another direction.

This was an unexplainable realization, and it confused him. Did she run into something? Or perhaps it was the million-strong Devil Wave outside that had blocked Xue Lin’s path.

Seeing the pallor and discomfort on Qingfeng Li’s face, Mengyao Xu walked over to him. “Big Brother Li,” she said, “What’s wrong? Are you worried about Xue Lin? Don’t fret. We’ll go and find a member of the Business Alliance immediately. Then we can find Xue Lin.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. With no better option, he led Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, the Sky Wolf Emperor, and the others forward. His gaze, however, remained on the skies in the distance. He felt as though, out there, someone had left him.

After Qingfeng Li and company had walked a short while, their way was blocked by two women. One of them wore a black dress that showed off her vivacious figure, with a black veil on her face obscuring her features. The other was a tall female servant, with pleasant features and a long sword hanging from her waist.

Qingfeng Li smiled. “May I ask why this lady has blocked my way?”

The veiled woman smiled, ruby lips parting, she spoke in a clear voice. “I’ve just seen you defeat the tenth ranked devil with one blow. I’m very interested in you. Would you like to be my guard?”

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows. So, this woman wanted to hire a guard and was interested in his strength. However, Qingfeng Li had no interest in doing so.

Qingfeng Li waved a hand. “Sorry, I’m not interested.”

With that, Qingfeng Li turned and walked off in another direction, not wanting anything to do with this woman.

Qingfeng Li could sense clearly that this woman was no simple character. Not only was she strong herself, but her clothes were Monarch Level spirit robes. She had to have quite the background. However, Qingfeng Li was only worried about Xue Lin.
