My Breathtaking CEO Wife - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Chapter 48 – Shaolin Kung Fu is World-Class

The Tianyin vein was an important vein for those who did martial arts. Although others might not have heard of it before, Li Tian knew exactly what it was.

When the Tianyin vein is injured, it was impossible to practice any kind of martial art, much less learn a new technique.

When He Shang said that he had injured his Tianyin vein, Li Tian could vaguely imagine what happened to him.

No wonder he said he needed the thousand-year Lingzhi. The Lingzhi mushroom was so rare that the only place where one could find it was at the Shaolin temple.

“Are you sure that the thousand-year Lingzhi can cure your injuries?”

Li Tian was obviously unsure about it, but he knew better than anyone that there was no simple cure to this kind of injury.

“Even if the Lingzhi doesn’t work, I’m sure that there will be something else for me at the Shaolin temple.”

“How are you so sure?”

“Obviously, because Shaolin Kung Fu is world-class!”

Li Tian stopped asking questions after he heard He Shang’s answer.

For centuries, everyone knew that Shaolin Kung Fu was world-class. It might not be the best in the world, but it was uncommon for other kinds of martial art to defeat the power of Shaolin.

Li Tian knew this as well.

He Shang was already so skillful even as an ordinary apprentice, let alone those professional Shaolin monks.

“How are you planning to get it? Or…will you…”

Li Tian didn’t specifically mention it, but what he meant to say was, steal it.

At the end of the day, the thousand-year Lingzhi was a rare item. The people at Shaolin Temple wouldn’t bring it out that easily.

“I have my ways. I brought back some valuable things from several foreign auction markets. I was thinking of trading them.”

“Alright, then. If you need any help just let me know. I’d be quite interested to learn some Kung Fu, too.”

Li Tian was serious about learning Kung Fu. He had previously learned a few techniques, but who wouldn’t want to learn from the masters at the Shaolin temple?

“In your dreams. Who said you could enter that place? The monks at Shaolin won’t allow outsiders in unless you’re confident enough to take on 18 people like me.”

“18 bronzemen?”

“No, 18 ‘sweeper monks’!”

“What!? You’re exaggerating, right? I don’t believe you. Let me know when you’re going, I’ll tag along.”

Li Tian felt slightly offended. 18 monks? To be honest, Li Tian still had some confidence that he could defeat them. However, did He Shang just say that he was merely a ‘sweeper monk’ at the Shaolin temple?

“Sure. I’m going to stay in Jiangdu for a few days to prepare some stuff, let’s go together then.”

He Shang agreed.

At the same time, Li Tian was almost arriving at the city centre.

“Bro, I hope you don’t mind that I can’t take you to my house this time. To be honest, that house belongs to my wife so I’m in a difficult position. As of now, the best option would be for you to stay at this hotel for the next few days.”

Li Tian stood in front of a hotel and said to He Shang.

The corners of He Shang’s lips twitched after hearing what Li Tian said.

Of course I wouldn’t mind spending a few nights at a hotel, but excuse me? Where are we?

A hotel? What the… This is just a small motel! It looks like those cheap ones that costs $50 a night, on top of some “extra” door-to-door services?

Darn it!

He Shang couldn’t believe it. On the other hand, Li Tian got into the car and drove away as fast as lightning.

“Mr. Superman, I didn’t think that your wife would be the one wearing the pants in the family.”

Little Wen Wen said abruptly. Li Tian seemed slightly puzzled, how could she tell?

Li Tian even started to question if this little girl was really only 5 or 6 years old. How does she know?

“Wen Wen, that’s not the case. I’m not afraid of my wife, I just respect her a lot. Do you know what ‘respect’ means?”

“I don’t. But my mom told me that this just means your wife has you completely under her thumb.”

“I… Okay, fine, you’re right.”

Li Tian didn’t want to be so childish and continue arguing with a child.

“You’re a nice person, Mr. Superman. If your wife doesn’t treat you well, she must be a bad person. Why not ask for a divorce? I can introduce you to my mom, she’s the best person in this whole wide world.”

“Crack…”

Li Tian felt his heart slightly crack.

Who teaches her these things? He remembered what he had been like when he was around Wen Wen’s age. Kids these days sure don’t act their age.

“Umm, let’s not talk about that. We’ll go to my house first and then I’ll bring you to the police station to look for your mom, okay?”

Then, Li Tian was almost arriving at his villa.

“Huh? Oh, you don’t have to. Mr. Superman, my house is just right in front. I know that small stream in front of our house.”

Wen Wen said, whilst pointing to the villa in front of them.

“What? You live here?”

Li Tian couldn’t believe that out of all places, Wen Wen lived in the same neighbourhood as him.

“Yeah, the house with the lights. Mr. Superman, did you lie to me on purpose? You must’ve known from the beginning where I lived, if not, how did you know to bring me straight to my house? It’s not good to tell lies, you know.”

“I.. Haha, you’re so clever, Wen Wen. Yeah, I knew that you lived here. I was just joking around with you.”

Li Tian didn’t know what else to say. This child sure had a way to make him go speechless.

“Then, I should get down now. I’m so hungry, I’ll go get my mom to cook something yummy for me.”

Wen Wen opened the car door and ran towards the house in front. In the car, Li Tian watched as she left.

Soon, Wen Wen arrived at her front door, and she turned around to wave goodbye.

Thank God I saved you. What would happen if your mother finds out that you nearly betrayed her?

Kids these days are so worrisome. We have to always be on guard.

Suddenly, Li Tian thought about having children with Lin Yi in the future.

“No, no. I won’t have a daughter. If we have a son, it would be much easier to teach him a lesson. I wouldn’t have the heart to punish my daughter.”

After that, Li Tian slowly drove towards his villa.

However, before he arrived at his house, Li Tian suddenly thought about something.

Wait, why does Wen Wen’s house look so familiar?

Li Tian slammed his thighs in realisation.

“What the heck!? That’s Tang Wan’s house!”

“Wen Wen, wait! Don’t leave yet! Let’s continue talking about your mom, okay?”
