My beautiful CEO wife

After blasting apart Xiao Zheng’s doppelganger, Hades felt a sense of relief.

The two then engaged in a discussion about the doppelganger issue.

Xiao Zheng discovered that after a doppelganger is destroyed, it consumes a significant amount of the vital energy within him. Clearly, the doppelganger’s life is linked to his original self. Although theoretically, doppelgangers can divide without limits, in reality, it depends on how much vital energy the original self possesses.

If the original self lacks vital energy, a doppelganger cannot be created.

Similarly, if the original self is injured, causing a temporary dip in cultivation, it’s also impossible to create a doppelganger.

After gaining a rough understanding of the mysteries of the Creation Realm, Xiao Zheng developed a clear vision for the road ahead. Even Hades benefited greatly, as she had just broken through to the Transcendent Realm, and every insight Xiao Zheng gained in his cultivation journey greatly assisted her.

Their discussion continued straight until dusk.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hades prepared to send an attendant to prepare dinner.

However, at that moment, Xiao Zheng suddenly received a call from Su Ziwen.

Seeing that it was Su Ziwen’s call, he didn’t pay much attention, and upon answering it, he laughed and asked, "How come you have time to call me? Weren’t you saying you were vacationing with Zimo in the Southern Ocean recently?"

However, as Su Ziwen spoke, Xiao Zheng’s expression gradually became serious.

"Brother Xiao, do you have time now? Can you come to the Southern Ocean? Zimo is in critical condition!" Su Ziwen said anxiously on the other end of the line.

His words were fast, as if on the verge of tears.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng immediately frowned and asked, "Calm down, don’t panic, tell me what’s going on!"

His tone revealed a hint of dominance, which helped calm Su Ziwen down a bit.

After listening to Su Ziwen’s account, Xiao Zheng finally understood what had happened.

The cause of this incident dates back to when the Blood Clan and Sky Net joined forces to battle the Bright Church. Back then, Xiao Zheng worried that the Bright Church might play dirty tricks against those close to him, so he arranged for the Su siblings to withdraw from Europe.

Upon returning home, the Su siblings were very obedient, staying quietly in Jiangnan Province.

But just last week, they received an invitation from a prominent family in the Southern Ocean to attend a local grand event. Because the family maintained a very good cooperative relationship with the Su Family, the siblings were unable to refuse and agreed to attend.

Since they were bored staying at home, they took a flight to the Southern Ocean that day.

Who would have thought that after only a few days in the Southern Ocean, Su Zimo suddenly fell seriously ill, initially seeming to have a cold and acting dazed, followed by weakness in her limbs, and by the time Su Ziwen called Xiao Zheng, she had already fallen into a coma with fluctuating body temperature!

Although Su Ziwen and the family that invited them called in many doctors to treat Su Zimo, none could give a clear diagnosis.

With no options left, Su Ziwen then called Xiao Zheng.

Realizing the severity of the situation, Xiao Zheng said without hesitation, "I understand, send me your location via phone, and I’ll come find you right now."

After saying that, the call ended.

Hades, having been around the whole time, asked curiously upon seeing Xiao Zheng’s grim expression, "What’s wrong? Do you need help?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "No need, a friend suddenly fell ill, and I’m going to check on them now. I won’t join you for dinner today, but I’ll visit another day."

Hades nodded, then watched Xiao Zheng depart.

Upon leaving the Netherworld King Temple, Xiao Zheng soared into the sky, quickly swallowed by the thick clouds.

Within half an hour, Xiao Zheng reached the Southern Ocean.

The Southern Ocean consists of countless small countries, mostly island nations, and due to its tropical location, the weather is much hotter than back home and in Europe.

Upon reaching the coordinates sent by Su Ziwen, Xiao Zheng immediately saw Su Ziwen waiting anxiously nearby.

"I’m here."

Xiao Zheng spoke proactively.

Su Ziwen was startled hearing his voice suddenly from behind, "Brother Xiao, how did you get here so quickly?"

"What? Do you not want me to arrive quickly?" Xiao Zheng asked.

In response, Su Ziwen almost cried, "Of course, I want you to come as fast as possible! Brother Xiao, hurry up, my sister really can’t hold on much longer!"

After speaking, he pulled Xiao Zheng into a car parked by the roadside.

Once inside, the driver quickly started the car, heading straight for the hospital.

On the way to the hospital, Xiao Zheng inquired from Su Ziwen about many aspects of Su Zimo’s condition. However, Su Ziwen knew very little, not even aware of what illness Su Zimo had.

After getting a rough understanding of the situation, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help feeling a bit heavy-hearted.

He sensed that this matter might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.

But due to a lack of evidence for the time being, Xiao Zheng didn’t voice his suspicions.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the hospital.

This is a private hospital, as introduced by Su Ziwen, owned by the large family that invited them to the Southern Ocean. From the moment Su Zimo fell seriously ill, she was immediately brought to this hospital.

Upon entering the ward, several people were standing at the door.

Xiao Zheng’s gaze immediately fell on a young man at the forefront, dressed in a sharp suit with meticulously styled hair, evidently of high standing.

"Brother Xiao, let me introduce you," Su Ziwen said as he stepped between the two, "this is Chen Shijie, the eldest young master of the Chen Family."

The Chen Family was the big family that invited them to the Southern Ocean.

After learning Chen Shijie’s identity, Xiao Zheng was not surprised.

Chen Shijie curiously scrutinized Xiao Zheng for a few moments before smiling and wanting to shake his hand, "Hello, you are Xiao Zheng, right? I’ve heard Ziwen and Zimo mention you often these days, nice to meet you."

Seeing that he seemed unaware of his true identity, only now did Xiao Zheng feel a bit surprised.

Su Ziwen stepped forward and explained in a whisper, "The countries in the Southern Ocean operate independently, so they seldom concern themselves with affairs on the Eurasia continent. They don’t know you as the Evil God."

Ah, I see.
