My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 762: The Seven-Day Poison



Old Monk Hui Ming hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly followed, "Little Ancestor, you... why aren't you chasing them? Could it be... that you've become soft-hearted? You can't bear to kill them?"

The Little Ancestor paid no attention to Old Monk Hui Ming.

"Little Ancestor, could you say something... Ah, that's right, I forgot you're practicing Silent Zen, you can't speak. Then you write it, tell me why..." Old Monk Hui Ming persistently asked.

The Little Ancestor was getting impatient. He casually wrote a few words in the air: For some reason, I cannot leave Myriad Buddhas Sect.

Ah? Old Monk Hui Ming was stunned... So that was the reason.

...

Elsewhere.

The three of them ran wildly through the pitch-black night, not daring to delay for a moment.

After a long while...

"Alright, stop," Duanmu Hong let out a breath of stale air, "That old monk didn't follow us."

"It doesn't make sense. Why didn't that old monk chase to kill us?" Gao Fei's face was full of confusion: "It was like this yesterday, and again today?"

"Indeed incomprehensible," He Hentian shook his large head, "From my observation, that old monk is not a kind person, so it surely wasn't a burst of compassion that made him let us go."

"Hmm," Gao Fei nodded, "Old He is right, that old monk is definitely not a kind person! The reason he didn't chase to kill us... must be due to some special reason. I have a premonition that if we can figure out the reason, perhaps we'll find a way to deal with the old monk."

"I have thought of a method that might be worth trying," He Hentian's eyes gleamed.

"What method?" Gao Fei quickly asked.

"My method is like this..." He Hentian said in a low voice.

While listening, Gao Fei nodded: "Hmm, good! It's worth a try." With that, Gao Fei turned to Duanmu Hong, "Senior, we'll have to trouble you again for this."

Duanmu Hong nodded, "No problem, leave it to me."

...

In a dark and damp cave.

Xuan Wu Monk and his junior brother Xuan Fei lay on the ground, both looking very agonized. Several days earlier, they had been captured by Gao Fei and He Hentian and then thrown into this cave without another word.

"Big brother, so many days have passed, why hasn't anyone come to save us?" Xuan Fei asked weakly, "I feel so miserable, I really can't hold on any longer."

"Just hold on a little longer, our Abbot Brother will definitely come to save us," Xuan Wu Monk comforted him.

"How much longer?"

"That... Little brother, you need to understand something. We are hostages right now, it's already quite lucky to be alive. All we can do now is wait, wait patiently for Abbot Brother to rescue us."

"Abbot Brother, please come fast, I beg you, come save me," Xuan Fei cried out mournfully.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside.

"Someone's coming!" Xuan Wu Monk's spirit was lifted: "It must be Abbot Brother coming to rescue us!"

"That's wonderful, truly wonderful," Xuan Fei was so excited he was almost crying, "Thank heavens, Abbot Brother has finally come to save me."

The two widened their eyes in anticipation, looking towards the outside, their faces filled with hope...

"Gentlemen, how have these few days been?" He Hentian suddenly walked in, smiling and greeting them warmly.

Gao Fei and Duanmu Hong then entered the room as well.

"It's not Brother Abbot..." Xuan Wu's face darkened, his burst of hope entirely shattered, "Are you here to kill us? Then get on with it!"

"Wu wu..." Xuan Fei burst into tears, overwhelmed by the immense pressure he had been under for days. Just as a glimpse of hope had appeared, it was ruthlessly crushed, and Xuan Fei couldn't hold back any longer, crying out loud, "Oh heavens, what have I done wrong to deserve this? Why, why is this happening to me? I cannot accept this!!!"

"Stop your howling!" He Hentian walked over and kicked Xuan Fei, "Keep howling, and I will cut off your tongue!"

"Uh..." He Hentian's threat proved effective, and Xuan Fei immediately closed his mouth, ceasing his crying.

At this moment, Gao Fei approached with a pair of bright eyes staring at Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei, "I'm asking you, do you want to live or die? Think carefully before you answer me, because you only have one chance to do so."

"Ah?" Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei were stunned. What did he mean? Were they not here to kill us? The two exchanged glances, then Xuan Wu spoke, "Who would choose death over life? Of course we want to live, but are you willing to spare us?"

"Help me with one thing, and I won't kill you," Gao Fei said.

"What thing?"

"There's a big shot from the Myriad Buddhas Sect that everyone calls 'Junior Ancestor'."

"What? What did you say? Junior Ancestor!? Are you kidding me? The Junior Ancestor has been dead for a hundred thousand years, how can he possibly be alive?"

"It may sound unbelievable, but... that Junior Ancestor is indeed still alive. I have no need to lie about this."

"Really alive? How is that possible? How can a person live for a hundred thousand years? This... this is inconceivable..."

"How much do you know about this Junior Ancestor?"

"Not much," Xuan Wu shook his head, "I've only heard of the reputation of the Junior Ancestor, knowing he was a great figure. The survival of the Myriad Buddhas Sect until today is largely due to him... that's about all I know."

"Think again, see if there's anything you've missed out on."

"I haven't missed anything! The Junior Ancestor was a great figure from a hundred thousand years ago, how much could I know about him?"

"Well then, I have a task for you. Go back to the Myriad Buddhas Sect, find out everything about the Junior Ancestor, and then report back to me. As long as you complete this task, I will spare you."

"Ah?" Xuan Wu's expression changed, "Are you asking me to be a traitor?"

"Don't make it sound so unpleasant," Gao Fei waved his hand, "It's not treason, at most it's... espionage."

"I..."

"Think it through. If you refuse, I will kill you now, and then I will destroy your soul, so you lose the chance for reincarnation."

"I... I agree..." Xuan Wu decided in just a second.

"I agree too..." Xuan Fei said hastily.

Gao Fei nodded with a smile, "Good! You are indeed smart! You've made the smartest choice. However, to prevent you from reneging, I need to take some special measures." Saying this, Gao Fei turned his head to Duanmu Hong, "Senior, it's your turn to make a move."

Duanmu Hong stepped towards Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei.

"What are you going to do!" Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei were terrified.

"Pfft!"

Duanmu Hong extended his hands and pressed them on the heads of Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei. Moments later, Duanmu Hong withdrew his hands, "I have implanted a virus in your minds. If you do not get the Antidote within seven days, you will explode."

"Ah?" Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei's faces alternated between shades of green and white, and their bodies trembled slightly.

"Remember, you have only seven days." Duanmu Hong spoke in a cold tone, "In this world, only I have the Antidote! Even that Junior Ancestor cannot cure your poison."

"Alright, you can go now," Gao Fei waved his hand, "Remember, you must return within seven days; otherwise, you'll have nowhere to run but death." As he spoke, Gao Fei lifted the Restriction Spell on Xuan Wu and Xuan Fei, and before long, both had regained their strength.
