My Sexy CEO Wife

Day had finally broken.

As the sun rose in an instant, light burst forth in all directions, dispelling all the darkness and restoring brightness between heaven and earth.

"Swoosh!"

Two figures descended from the sky, landing at the entrance of the ancient tomb.

"Who's going first?"

"Let me do it! I didn't get enough yesterday."

"Alright, you go first."

After a brief discussion, it was decided that He Hentian would take the stage first.

"Hey!" He Hentian shouted loudly, "Beauty ah! I'm back again! It's been a night without you, missed me, haven't you? You must have, so much that it kept you awake, right? Honestly, I missed you too. I even dreamt about you last night."

"Boom!"

A cold and gloomy qi emanated from inside the ancient tomb, attempting to attack He Hentian but was dissolved by the sunlight.

"My goodness, that truly scared me to death." He Hentian quickly retreated, showing a frightened expression on his face, "Such a terrifying aura, damn woman, trying to ambush me." He Hentian could guess with his toes that the cold qi had definitely been conjured by the female corpse in an attempt to ambush him, unaware that it would be melted by the sunlight.

The sun is the nemesis of all dark and shadowy things.

"You dare to come back!" a cold voice from the female corpse came from inside the tomb.

"Why wouldn't we dare to come back?" Gao Fei chuckled, "We're good people, with an incredibly clear conscience. We can't bear to see you suffering in the ancient tomb."

"You're courting death!"

"Don't speak so unpleasantly. We're not courting death, we haven't lived enough yet. We are genuinely doing a good deed, wanting to help you step out of the shadows and enjoy a happy life."

"You have the guts, just don't leave tonight!"

"How could we do that? As soon as the sun sets, you're able to come out, and if we don't leave early, you'll definitely kill us."

"You're not stupid."

"Of course, I'm not stupid! I'm very smart! Hey beauty, if you're free today, why not chat with me? Hmm, let's talk about your origin—what's your name? How old are you? Why are you hiding in this ancient tomb? And also, how come you're still alive till now?" Gao Fei voiced all the questions from his heart.

"Want to know the answers? Come into the tomb, and I'll tell you to your face," the female corpse said.

Gao Fei wasn't a fool; how could he fall for such a trick?

During the subsequent time, Gao Fei and He Hentian took turns to provoke the female corpse with words, infuriating her to the point of hopping mad.

When the sun was about to set, Gao Fei and He Hentian immediately made a run for it. By the time the female corpse chased after them, both had long since vanished without a trace. Just like the previous night, the female corpse searched for most of the night and didn't find any trace of Gao Fei or He Hentian; in the end, she could only return to the ancient tomb in frustration.

The following morning, Gao Fei and He Hentian were back... after infuriating the female corpse half to death, they ran away.

...

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

During the day, Gao Fei and He Hentian went to the ancient tomb to create havoc, bullying the female corpse; at night, they hid in a secluded spot, both thoroughly enjoying themselves, never tiring of their antics. However, the female corpse was nearly driven to her wit's end.

When Gao Fei and He Hentian showed up again, the female corpse had given in...

"What do you guys want from me?" the female corpse said with a tearful face, "I'm begging you, stop torturing me, okay? If this goes on, I'm going to break down!" After saying these words, she felt particularly depressed inside. She was a Great Cultivator from Ancient Times, whose mere foot-stomp could make the whole world tremble in fear, yet now she was begging two shameless rascals for mercy? It was utterly humiliating!

"Oh dear," Gao Fei grinned widely, "I thought you were really tough, never giving in."

"Now it seems," He Hentian chuckled, "you do get scared sometimes."

"I've been telling you, speak nicely, don't yell at me, but you wouldn't listen, would you? You had to go hard at me, and now you regret it, right?"

"Actually, we're good people! The best of people, as long as you're obedient, we won't give you a hard time."

"Right, just be good, and we won't make things difficult for you."

"Starting now, none of us can lose our temper, we must speak nicely."

Gao Fei and He Hentian took turns speaking, coordinating with each other perfectly.

The female corpse kept a straight face, biting her lip, holding back her urge to explode, "I will speak nicely."

"So, tell us about your origins first," Gao Fei said, "What's your name? How old are you? Why have you lived until now?"

The female corpse sighed internally, as one must bow their head under someone else's roof. In order to get rid of the trouble, she could only answer honestly, "My name is Duanmu Hong. I was quite a figure in Ancient Times. As for my age... to tell the truth, I can't remember clearly because I've lived too long... The reason I've lived until now is that I used a secret technique to extend my life."

"What kind of secret technique is so powerful that it allows you to live for hundreds of thousands of years?" Gao Fei asked in amazement.

He Hentian was all ears, listening intently.

"The name of the secret technique is 'Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate.' Once it's successfully cultivated, you can shed your mortal body and Ascend to the Immortal Realm directly."

"That awesome?"

"Yes, absolutely awesome!"

"Did you succeed then?"

"What do you think!" Duanmu Hong glared at Gao Fei, "Just as I was about to succeed, you two ruined it. Now I really have the urge to devour you both."

"This... we didn't mean to..." Gao Fei said awkwardly, "It's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! If I had known you were performing a secret technique, I definitely wouldn't have disturbed you."

"Hmph," Duanmu Hong snorted coldly, "If I believed you, I would be the world's biggest fool."

"Don't lose hope," Gao Fei chuckled, "You can start over, and we assure you we won't disturb you again."

"Start over?" Duanmu Hong bit her teeth in anger and said, "Do you know what it costs to perform the 'Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate' secret technique? First, you need to find a large number of rare materials to create the Nine Layers Coffin Array. Next, you need to spend a tremendous amount of time, and what I lack the most right now is time."

"Lack of time?"

"The life force within me is less than one-tenth, and I could die at any moment."

"Ah? How did that happen?"

"Who else but you two to thank," Duanmu Hong said through gritted teeth, "I hate you so much! I slept for hundreds of thousands of years in the ancient tomb, nearly succeeded, only to have you ruin it. My hundreds of thousands of years of effort were destroyed in an instant, and I'm so frustrated I want to go mad." It was only because Duanmu Hong had such a strong will that she hadn't killed herself, unlike what others might have done after such a devastating blow.

"This..." Gao Fei was about to speak when Duanmu Hong interrupted him.

"Never mind," Duanmu Hong sighed heavily, "it's my fate! I should have been dead a long time ago. Being able to struggle and survive for hundreds of thousands of years is already a profit. Dying now might be a kind of release too." Duanmu Hong's ability to utter these words showed she was indeed utterly disillusioned.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, as Duanmu Hong's life was drawing to an end, she couldn't bear to die just like that, so she secretly cultivated the 'Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate' secret technique. Enduring endless loneliness and solitude, she slept in the ancient tomb for hundreds of thousands of years, only to end up with nothing in the end. Had she known this would be the outcome, she never would have cultivated the secret technique.
