My Sexy CEO Wife

High above, two people stood in confrontation, one with a smile on his face, the other with a complexion ashen. These two individuals were none other than Emperor Dugu Jingtian and the Great Demon Immortal Master Huang.

Immortal Master Huang's eyebrows were tightly furrowed; in his wildest dreams, he had not imagined... that Emperor Dugu Jingtian would be monitoring him from the shadows? And intercept him en route? What did Dugu Jingtian want? Immortal Master Huang was utterly baffled.

"The wind is strong up here, not suitable for chatting. Let's change locations," Emperor Dugu Jingtian said, turning to leave. He was not worried about Immortal Master Huang taking the opportunity to escape, for he had ample confidence that he could catch up with him; if Immortal Master Huang was smart, he would know what to do.

Immortal Master Huang hesitated for a moment, then followed.

...

Inside a charming manor.

By the pond, there was a pavilion.

Emperor Dugu Jingtian and Immortal Master Huang sat in the pavilion, one savoring tea, the other furrowing his brows in deep thought, neither of them speaking. For a time, the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.

Finally, Immortal Master Huang could no longer contain himself, "What on earth do you want?"

"I wish to make a deal with you," Emperor Dugu Jingtian set down his teacup and smiled faintly.

"A deal?" Immortal Master Huang was taken aback, "What kind of deal?"

"Help me deal with someone. Once the task is accomplished, I will give you a substantial reward."

"Who? It's not the Demon Emperor, is it?"

"It's not him!"

"Good..." Immortal Master Huang breathed a sigh of relief: "If you wanted me to deal with the Demon Emperor, I would definitely have refused." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Quit beating around the bush and tell me, who do you want to deal with?"

Emperor Dugu Jingtian gazed directly into Immortal Master Huang's eyes and said word by word, "Shangguan Yunyue."

"Who?" Immortal Master Huang's eyes widened, "Say that again! Who do you want to deal with?"

"Shangguan Yunyue," Emperor Dugu Jingtian repeated: "The person I want you to deal with is Shangguan Yunyue."

"The Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace, Shangguan Yunyue?"

"Yes, it's her."

"No way!" Immortal Master Huang shook his head vehemently like a rattle-drum: "I can't do this task, you should find someone more capable. Sorry, I'm in a rush to return to the Demon Territory, so I'll take my leave." Immortal Master Huang stood up, ready to leave.

"Take one more step, and I'll make your blood spill right here," came Emperor Dugu Jingtian's icy voice from behind.

"Huh?" As if stricken by a Freeze Technique, Immortal Master Huang found himself unable to move another step, his eyes wildly darting around as he pondered ways to extricate himself.

"Don't bother trying to escape," Emperor Dugu Jingtian said indifferently: "You simply cannot flee from before me! Killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant. If you don't believe me, you may try. However, I must warn you, you only have one chance to save your life. Should you miss it... well, then you will be a lonely ghost in the Underworld." Emperor Dugu Jingtian spoke unhurriedly, his tone steady and devoid of any emotion, which was exactly what made Immortal Master Huang's skin crawl.

Immortal Master Huang's complexion fluctuated, his inner turmoil evident. After a long struggle, he clenched his teeth, stamped his foot... and turned to walk back... Immortal Master Huang was a very rational Great Demon, and he knew how to choose.

"Do you have a grudge against Shangguan Yunyue?" Immortal Master Huang asked in a heavy voice.

"Yes," Emperor Dugu Jingtian nodded.

"What sort of enmity necessitates the death of Shangguan Yunyue?"

"You misunderstand, I didn't ask you to kill Shangguan Yunyue."

"Not to kill?"

"I only want you to deal with Shangguan Yunyue, not to kill her, hmm, to put it another way... find a way to capture Shangguan Yunyue alive."

"Capture alive?" Immortal Master Huang hurriedly waved his hands: "I can't do it! I truly can't do it!"

"You can do it!" Dugu Jingtian laughed, "I have faith in you!"

"I'm just puzzled, why are you so sure about me? Why is that?"

"Because you're acquainted with Shangguan Yunyue, because you have a close relationship with Gao Fei. Shangguan Yunyue lets her guard down around you. Just find the right opportunity and you'll definitely be able to capture Shangguan Yunyue alive."

"Please spare me, I really can't do it... I really can't..."

"Right now, you only have two paths to choose from," Dugu Jingtian said indifferently, "First, cooperate with me obediently, and upon success, not only will I let you go, but I'll also give you a handsome reward. Second, I kill you! Which path will you choose?"

"Is there a third option?"

"No!"

"If I refuse, will you kill me?"

"Correct."

"...Then kill me," Immortal Master Huang closed his eyes.

"Would you really rather die than cooperate with me?" Dugu Jingtian's expression darkened.

"Although I'm of the Demon Race, I too have principles!" Immortal Master Huang said defiantly, "Don't even think about making me go against Shangguan Yunyue!"

"Good! Very good!" Dugu Jingtian laughed angrily, "I originally wanted to reason with you, but I didn't expect you to be so unappreciative! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless." With that, Dugu Jingtian stretched out his hand and reached for Immortal Master Huang.

Immortal Master Huang hastily retreated through the air.

"Swoosh!"

Dugu Jingtian pursued him.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Clang clang clang..."

"Clank clank clank..."

Three moves! It took Dugu Jingtian only three moves to subdue Immortal Master Huang.

"Hmph!" Dugu Jingtian snorted coldly, "I told you before, you have no power to resist in front of me."

Immortal Master Huang stared at Dugu Jingtian, "Don't forget, I am of the Demon Race! I am good friends with the Demon Emperor... If you dare to kill me, the Demon Emperor will seek revenge on you!" Immortal Master Huang invoked the Demon Emperor's name, hoping to intimidate Dugu Jingtian, but to no avail.

"I've been contending with the Demon Emperor for centuries; I know exactly what he's made of," Dugu Jingtian sneered, "You expect him to avenge you? That's wishful thinking!"

"You..."

"Enough, stop wasting words. I'm going to cripple you now."

"What are you doing... ah... bastard! You bastard ahh!!!" Immortal Master Huang began to scream in agony, "It hurts so much!!!"

"It's supposed to hurt," Dugu Jingtian's mouth curled into a cold smirk, "The technique I'm applying is the Soul Control Technique. Do you know what the Soul Control Technique is? It's a secret technique that can control the soul! Let me explain the steps of the Soul Control Technique to you. First, I'll erase your memories to turn your soul into a blank slate. Second, I'll take control of your soul, making you my servant. You'll do whatever I say, without any resistance or disobedience. That's the Soul Control Technique! Understand?"

"Your heart is so cruel..." Immortal Master Huang's voice trembled, "Even if I die... I won't let you succeed..."

"Die?" Dugu Jingtian laughed, "I don't agree. Do you think you can just die? My advice for you is to stop resisting and obediently become my servant. That way, you'll suffer less."

"You... will definitely... reap... what you sow..." Immortal Master Huang roared with all his might.

"Reap what I sow? That's the last thing I'm afraid of in this lifetime!" Dugu Jingtian snorted coldly.
