My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1582: Drinking Heartily with the Red-Clad Girl

"Fortunately." The girl in red smiled, with a kind of calm and clarity as if she had seen through everything, like a gentle breeze blowing, which made her appear very graceful.

"About the East-West conflict..." The girl in red continued, she sighed and said, "I am a half-blood. You can imagine that in the Blood Clan, even though I am a Netherworld King, I do not hold much power. Within the Blood Clan, the Great Elders are extremely independent; I cannot stop whatever they wish to do."

Xiao Zheng could hear the helplessness in the girl’s voice. Although she was the Netherworld King with strength comparable to Rob III, pure power is not all-powerful. When facing the will of an entire clan, such strength seems somewhat insignificant.

"I misunderstood you before." Xiao Zheng said, with a relieved yet slightly apologetic smile on his face.

The girl’s explanation dispelled all the confusion and pain in Xiao Zheng’s heart. It turns out that in this East-West war, the girl did not play much of a role; the real culprits were those ambitious Great Elders in the Blood Clan.

This means that, between them, there is no need to become enemies; they can still be friends.

The girl in red smiled, picked up a wooden barrel of wine, and said, "Let’s drink."

Xiao Zheng nodded and indulged in drinking.

"Actually, I should thank you." After drinking for a while, the girl said with a smile.

"Oh?" Xiao Zheng was taken aback.

"Nicola, Vlad, these people were very powerful entities within the Blood Clan, mainly vying for power against me. Now that they are dead, naturally, I can gain more power, and my rule over the Blood Clan has become more stable." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Congratulations." Xiao Zheng said.

Xiao Zheng spoke sincerely; he could see that the girl in red did not favor war. Because of her mixed blood, she had a strong affinity for the Human Clan. If she could fully control the Blood Clan, there would be no more fierce conflicts in the times to come.

"You’re now Huaxia’s Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch..." The girl suddenly looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "Why don’t we make a pact?"

"Oh?" Xiao Zheng was puzzled, "What kind of pact?"

The girl said, "Someday, when I thoroughly control the Blood Clan, I shall sign a peace agreement between the Blood Clan and the Human Clan. From then on, there will be no more war!"

Xiao Zheng’s expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "If such a day truly comes, I will exert my utmost effort! The hatred between the Blood Clan and the Human Clan has endured for a millennium; if it can cease, that would undeniably be wonderful."

Instantly.

The two exchanged a smile.

Xiao Zheng raised the wooden barrel, and they drank heartily once more.

However, Xiao Zheng suddenly sighed and said, "Achieving that is exceedingly difficult. After all, the hatred between our clans is too profound. You kill me, I kill you; there’s deep-seated animosity between us. Such hatred is very hard to dissolve."

The girl said, "Don’t you Huaxia people have an ancient saying? ’Where there’s a will, there’s a way.’ As long as you act, nothing is impossible to accomplish. Back when all of Huaxia was in turmoil, didn’t you stand up and defeat the Western coalition?"

"Indeed." Xiao Zheng smiled, "Speaking of which, this Western expedition had great rewards. I was merely trying to kill a minor Blood Clan Elder, yet I caught someone as big as you in the process."

The girl in red rolled her eyes at Xiao Zheng upon hearing this. In an instant, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but be dazed. The girl in red was bold and dashing, but at that moment, she revealed a touch of allure. This hint of allure, appearing and disappearing swiftly, tickled the heart.

"Alright then."

At this moment, the girl stood up and said, "Having said so much, I ought to be on my way." With that, she headed out of the wine cellar, leaving quite gracefully.

Xiao Zheng was stunned, "Leaving already?" This thought just came to him, but he couldn’t help but shake his head, thinking with a smile, "Let her go as she pleases. Martial artists wander the Jianghu; they must part ways eventually. Why feel dispirited? I seem a bit petty."

With this thought, he too stood up and walked outside.

However, just three steps out, Xiao Zheng suddenly exclaimed softly and stopped. His face revealed a strange expression.

At this moment, the girl also stopped, turned to look at Xiao Zheng, with a somewhat serious expression on her face, "Did you sense it?"

Xiao Zheng nodded, "Down below, there seems to be something peculiar."

Earlier, upon leaving, he distinctly sensed a strange fluctuation coming from underground. It was very faint, but after sensing it, Xiao Zheng felt a surge of unease in his heart! This feeling was inexplicable to him; after all, he was the Evil God, possessing a Martial Saint Body. What could possibly make his heart tremble?

"Looks like Mars has some secrets. Let’s have a look." The girl said.

Xiao Zheng hesitated and said, "This is your Blood Clan’s matter..."

The girl smiled, "No matter. You and I have already made a pact and are considered allies. There’s nothing I need to hide from you."

Xiao Zheng felt relieved, smiled slightly, and said, "Then I won’t be reserved. Let’s go down and see. I’m quite curious what could evoke such a feeling in me."

The two were formidable Martial Saints, naturally fearing nothing. So they followed the direction they sensed earlier and walked toward the bottom of the castle.

Soon they discovered a secret passage, winding down into the depths of the earth. They walked along this passage for quite some time without reaching the end.

"So deep! This must go down at least a thousand meters underground," Xiao Zheng was a bit shocked. What lies beneath this castle?

Remember, creating a passage over a thousand meters deep, even for someone like Mars among the Blood Clan Elders, would require a tremendous amount of effort!

"Mars shouldn’t have done this." The girl stroked the wall of the downward passage and said, "Look at these patterns; they are extremely ancient in the Blood Clan’s style. This passage should have existed long ago, and it is heavily associated with the Blood Clan!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng became even more curious about the things at the end of this passage. What on earth could be inside?

They moved swiftly and soon arrived at the passage’s end, encountering a huge bronze door, tightly closed. But this couldn’t hinder them; with a bit of effort, they managed to open it.

Then, they witnessed the scene behind the immense bronze door.
