Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Jade and a Mysterious Place_1
Unbeknownst to him, it was already time to leave work.
Ye Fei had finally woken up.
He then drove home, pushed open the door gently, and was greeted by a delicious fragrance.
Su Yueru, wearing a dress, was bustling in the kitchen, her every move exuding a sweat that was quite captivating.
"Ye Fei, you’re back!"
"Little Ye insists on eating the meal I cook tonight!"
"So, I’m taking charge of the kitchen today!"
The adorable Little Ye was bouncing around next to the kitchen.
"Daddy, Mommy says it’s not healthy to always eat Western food outside!"
"So she wants to cook for me herself!"
A smile appeared on Ye Fei’s face.
As he entered the room, there was a twinkle in his eye.
There, in the corner of the sofa, an inconspicuous black box caught his eye.
A breath emanated from the box, radiating throughout the room.
It was clearly out of place in every corner of the room.
"Ye Fei, someone brought you a gift today!"
"They said it was to be delivered into your hands personally!"
"I thought it was your stuff, so I didn’t feel it was right to open it. You can check it for yourself!"
Ye Fei laughed and took the black box back to his room.
The box was unusually heavy, and a chill emanated from its surface in waves.
"Looks like this is the champion’s gift from the Qianyuan Competition!"
"I wonder what surprises are inside!"
Ye Fei gently opened the box, and immediately a blast of cold air rushed at him.
It was even stronger than before.
He saw a dragon-headed jade ornament between his fingers.
The carving of the dragon’s head was lifelike,
Its eyes seemed to swirl, as if ready to roar into the void.
"This is jade marrow. It seems the champion’s gift is indeed extraordinary!"
"Just by crushing and absorbing this item, one could elevate their realm!"
Such high-quality jade marrow was quite rare.
If it were auctioned on the market, it would be priceless.
Ye Fei clenched it in one hand and crushed it without a moment’s hesitation.
"This is really a good item!"
Instantly, the powder from the crushed jade marrow transformed into a faint blue light, and powerful True Qi surged forth.
The light enveloped Ye Fei, circling around him continuously.
The small bedroom was filled with cold air.
A cup of water on the table even began to freeze.
"Such mighty True Qi; it could probably raise me by at least one level!"
Ye Fei immediately sat down cross-legged.
Like an old monk entering meditation!
With his eyes closed, he saw darkness at first, followed by a pinpoint of light.
The light expanded, and a dragon seemed to dance in the distance.
His vision suddenly cleared.
Su Yueru and Little Ye in the kitchen continued to bustle about, unaware of the marvels occurring in Ye Fei’s bedroom.
To outsiders,
it would look like an ordinary apartment building suddenly lit up with golden light reaching for heaven.
Resembling a pilgrimage of ten thousand Buddhas.
Passing tourists stopped in their tracks.
"What’s going on here? Is a deity ascending to heaven!"
"Must be some film shooting, right?"
The glow lasted but two minutes.
Ye Fei only felt a hot power erupting in his Dantian.
He then opened his eyes, overjoyed.
"Incredible, to jump two levels!"
"This is beyond my expectations!"
With the help of the jade marrow.
Ye Fei now jumped from the third stage of the Earth Element to the fifth.
As the saying goes, he soared to the skies.
Yet, the situation was far from over. When Ye Fei opened his eyes, he felt an indescribable wonder.
His vision was crystal clear and his hearing sharp.
Soon, the view in front of him seemed to twist and distort.
He saw distant hills and mountains, lush and rolling.
"What place is this? Such mountains don’t exist near the city!"
"After the breakthrough in my realm, it seems I can see even more interesting things!"
Ye Fei focused his mind.
At first, the scene was nothing but a blur, as if seen from afar across the sea.
But as his concentration deepened,
everything became incredibly clear, as if it were within arm’s reach!
A red light spread from the distant green mountains.
A powerful attraction faced him, stirring his innermost desires.
"This red light feels like it’s from some kind of treasure!"
"This presence is miles away from me, yet it feels close enough to touch!"
Ye Fei was exhilarated.
As time passed, the power of the jade marrow was fully digested.
Meanwhile, cheers came from the kitchen.
"Daddy, come and eat. Mommy has finished cooking!"
"You must taste it thoroughly, Mommy cooked it herself today!"
In response to Little Ye’s calls, Ye Fei withdrew his consciousness.
Yet, he made a mental note.
"There must be treasures in that place!"
"I should take the opportunity to explore it!"
"..."
After dinner.
They ate until their mouths were greasy.
Ye Fei naturally praised his wife’s cooking skills without reservation.
"Little Ye, it’s all thanks to you that I got to enjoy such a delicious meal!"
"In the future, if you want to eat something, make sure to tell Mommy, okay?"
Su Yueru next to him gave Ye Fei a glaring look,
Pretending to be dissatisfied, waving her spoon.
"You’re using the child’s name to secure benefits for yourself, aren’t you?"
Having his motives playfully exposed by Su Yueru,
Ye Fei just chuckled softly beside her.
And at that moment,
an urgent phone call came in.
A grave voice appeared on the other end,
"Ye Fei! There’s trouble. I need you to come to the War Ministry immediately!"
