My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: The Legend of the Golden Bone

With that slash, the customers were also stupefied.

Wow, is she even a woman? So ruthless.

The fat boss’s screams continued incessantly, yet he felt no pain at all, which was utterly illogical.

"Huh?"

He suddenly opened his eyes, only to be shocked by the scene before him. Why?

Because the cleaver had indeed struck him, but only his fingernail!

His middle fingernail was neatly chopped off. Had it shifted a millimeter further, he would have bled immediately, truly a miraculous strike.

"That was close!"

The fat boss fell to the ground, clutching his chest and sweating profusely, clearly still in shock.

Seeing this, the boss’s wife was utterly dumbfounded, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg, no longer throwing a tantrum or daring to curse recklessly.

As they say, the bold fear the reckless, and the reckless fear those who are utterly fearless.

We thought we were ruthless and arrogant enough, but it turned out we had met someone even more fierce.

Indeed, there are always people out there stronger than you, the truly powerful among the powerful.

Xiao Zheng also nodded in satisfaction. Shangguan Yu truly proved her mettle, her sequence of movements smooth and fluid like a ferocious female beast, harsh and ruthless.

Shangguan Yu looked at the fat boss mockingly and sneered, "Heh, Brother Xiao is not someone you can afford to provoke. Overestimating yourselves."

Since when did you become Brother Xiao? Shameless, always trying to aggrandize yourself!

Xiao Zheng was helpless.

"Yes, yes, we were wrong!" the fat boss and his wife almost peed themselves, hastily bowing repeatedly, "We run a small business, please spare us."

"Whether I spare you or not is not up to me!" Shangguan Yu discarded the cleaver, scoffing with a sneer, and nodded towards Xiao Zheng.

Realizing this, the fat boss and his wife, both cunning, followed her gaze and saw Xiao Zheng sitting there nonchalantly, utterly composed.

Wow, turns out he’s the real deal!

The couple glanced at each other, ran over to Xiao Zheng, and kept bowing and apologizing.

"Young brother, we admit our mistake. Just let us off like a fart, please let us go."

"Yes, big brother, we’ll forgo today’s bun money. If you’re not satisfied, we can compensate you for your emotional distress."

"..."

Xiao Zheng looked at the strong-looking couple and said indifferently, "I don’t need your compensation, I just hope businesses can operate with conscience. Are you at peace earning such deceitful money? Doesn’t it bother your conscience towards the customers?"

"Brother, you’re right, we were wrong," the fat boss, sensing a glimmer of hope, assured solemnly, "I promise, starting tomorrow, we won’t do this anymore."

Xiao Zheng sneered and shook his head, seeing the couple’s eyes flit about, hardly the type to do honest business, their actions different behind closed doors, duplicitous and insincere.

"Let me put it this way, if you don’t close down tomorrow, you will bear the consequences!"

Having said that, Xiao Zheng left without looking back, Shangguan Yu still tailing along like a little follower.

The bun shop couple, frigid and ashen-faced, knew they couldn’t afford to offend someone with such skills.

The two plopped to the ground, filled with regret and distress.

Meanwhile.

Shangguan Yu continued to follow Xiao Zheng sincerely and honestly. But what could she do? After all, he was the Tianji Sect Leader, and she couldn’t afford to provoke him.

If she couldn’t get his forgiveness, not only would her life be gone, her entire family could be completely wiped out.

Yet, her persistence was driving Xiao Zheng insane.

"Can you stop following me? I’m not the God of Wealth."

Shangguan Yu thought to herself, indeed he isn’t the God of Wealth, but he is King Yan; he can take countless lives in an instant.

However, outwardly, she stayed extremely respectful, "Mr. Xiao, unless you forgive me and my family, I will keep following you."

What?

So shameless!

Xiao Zheng was finally defeated by her, and helplessly said, "To err is human, to forgive divine. Fine, I forgive you; you can go back now."

"Really?" Shangguan Yu clearly couldn’t believe her ears. Was this guy really that easy-going?

"Truer than a double-edged needle!"

Xiao Zheng completely broke down. This guy was like chewing gum, impossible to shake off once stuck. How frustrating.

...

After much persuasion, Shangguan Yu finally believed him and took her leave.

"Damn it, being hassled by a beauty is also a kind of torment!"

Xiao Zheng finally escaped, heaved a long sigh of relief, and went back to work at the company.

Working days were undoubtedly the happiest. He had become a special figure at Qianqiu Group, unhindered by anyone, constantly eating, sleeping, and playing games.

When he was free, he would be teased by Mo Anna, then he would turn around and playfully tease Mu Yiqing, quite comfortably.

Waking up from a nap, Xiao Zheng checked his phone; there were still two hours left until lunch.

He simply went up to the rooftop, enjoyed the breeze, and smoked a cigarette, looking completely carefree.

"Oh right, last night, Golden Bone unusually issued a warning alert. There has never been such a situation before; it needs to be studied carefully."

He took out the Golden Bone, and coincidentally, the three pieces of Golden Bone he had obtained so far were all phalanges.

There had never been a warning alert when he got the first or second phalange, so why was it different after getting the third one?

This was not normal!

He clearly remembered, last night the Golden Bone actively vibrated and heated up, alerting Xiao Zheng to Shen Jiayi’s danger.

It seems that the Golden Bone has started to act up, becoming unusual.

"Could that legend be true?"

Xiao Zheng flicked the cigarette butt, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Could the Golden Bone really be the bone of a god?

According to the legend, by obtaining all the Golden Bones, one could receive the god’s heritage. But what exactly would that heritage be?

Summoning a deity?

If that were the case, it would be incredible.

Because the so-called deities, the divine beings controlling heaven and earth, do not have physical bodies but do have bodily forms.

If he could summon a deity to possess him, that would be more than ideal.

"At that point, my physical and spiritual bodies will completely merge, thoroughly fixing the current hidden flaws in my body,"

Xiao Zheng harbored an infinite longing for this, considering his body was severely injured and he would die soon if he couldn’t find all the Golden Bones.

Dying in his twenties wasn’t unheard of.

But Xiao Zheng was not willing to give in.

His exciting life had just begun, involved in hot and ambiguous relationships with beauties like Leng Ruobing, Chu Xiaoran, Xiao Yufei, Shen Jiayi; how could he just give up?

The most painful thing in life is to die before you’ve finished playing the field.

That would be too unfortunate.

And there were all the brothers and sisters of Sky Net, important figures like Long Qie, Titan, Catherine, Ten Killings, who all depended on him. If Xiao Zheng died, Sky Net would fall apart and scatter.

More critically, his parents were still missing, and he hadn’t yet ascertained whether they were alive or dead.

If they were dead, he would need to avenge them, a duty of his generation.

If they were alive, he would ensure they live out their twilight years in peace, a gesture of filial piety.

Xiao Zheng crushed the cigarette butt, cleared his complicated thoughts, clenched his fists, and his expression turned infinitely solemn.

"I can’t die. I must find all the Golden Bones in the shortest time and receive the god’s heritage!"
