My Sexy CEO Wife

Under the scorching sun.

A spaceship was flying at high speed.

Roars of fury echoed within the cabin, and upon closer listening, it was clearly Dongfang Jian's voice.

At that moment, Dongfang Jian was in a towering rage, smashing everything he could see in front of him, and still feeling unsatisfied, "I'm so angry! Truly, deathly angry!!! A disgrace! Such a disgrace!!!" He had traveled many miles to Heavenly Water City to pay his respects to Duanmu Hong. Not only had he brought generous gifts and kept a very humble demeanor, but Duanmu Hong had not even deigned to give him a proper look, refusing his gifts and even driving him away—she had bullied him too much!

"It's all because of Gao Fei and He Hentian! If it hadn't been for their meddling interruptions, that female warrior would never have driven me away!"

Dongfang Jian blamed his failure entirely on Gao Fei and He Hentian.

"One day! I will make sure you two die!!!" Dongfang Jian clenched his fists tightly, his expression hideous, his eyes blood-red.

A group of bodyguards hid far away, fearing getting involved.

"You, come here!" Dongfang Jian pointed with his hand: "What are you looking at, it's you I'm talking to! Come here quickly!"

"Ah, right away." A bodyguard ran over quickly: "What would you ask of me, Your Highness?"

"Jump off the spaceship."

"What?"

"I don't care how you do it, but you must infiltrate Heavenly Water City. Then closely monitor Gao Fei and He Hentian. As soon as they do anything out of line, report back to me immediately."

"Just myself? I'm afraid that won't be enough..."

"A lone person presents a smaller target and is less likely to be detected."

"But..."

"Enough with the nonsense! Do what I've told you! Get going!" Dongfang Jian burst out in anger.

"Yes, yes, I'm on it." With an internal sigh, the bodyguard leapt from the spaceship and, as he descended, he cursed Dongfang Jian thoroughly in his mind. He was especially regretful now, regretting that he had become a bodyguard for Dongfang Jian. The man had a volatile temper and was quite unpredictable—it was simply too miserable to be around him.

Dongfang Jian paced a few steps in the cabin with his hands behind his back, then turned his head: "Liu Dong, Chen Hui, Zhang Zuhai."

"What are your orders, Your Highness?" Three tall men stepped forward—Dongfang Jian's strongest three bodyguards. It was these three men who had stopped He Hentian near the ancient tomb.

"What do you think of that female warrior?" Dongfang Jian asked.

"Well..." The three men hesitated for a moment: "She is very strong."

"How strong?"

"Stronger than us."

"If you three joined forces, do you think you could beat her?"

"There is no certainty," the three men shook their heads: "Since that woman emerged from the ancient tomb, she has put a great pressure on us, like... a mountain pressing down on our shoulders. Although we are loath to admit it, we must say that she is really strong, much stronger than us." There is a connection between strong fighters, and all three bodyguards were at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage of cultivation, so they could sense Duanmu Hong's power.

"It's infuriating." Dongfang Jian sighed: "To have such an awesome warrior and not be able to make her mine, it's too hateful!"

"Your Highness, don't be too angry. You are the Son of Heaven and you will surely surpass that woman in the future," the three men consoled. "When that time comes, she will be eager to please Your Highness."

"I like hearing that," Dongfang Jian grinned. "You're right, I am the Son of Heaven, and sooner or later, one day I will surpass that powerful woman and become the most formidable person in this world! At that time, everyone will prostrate themselves at my feet, depending on my very breath to survive." This statement revealed Dongfang Jian's ambition—he yearned to be the foremost figure in Elysium.

The three men stood expressionless, though Dongfang Jian spoke vehemently, their faces remained unchanged, for they thought that Dongfang Jian was bragging. Aspire to be Elysium's number one? It was nothing but delusional daydreaming. Throughout history, how many genius individuals had the Human World produced? They all achieved extraordinary success, yet until their deaths, none could claim to be the first in Elysium.

...

Inside the ancient tomb.

A dazzling Bright Pearl emitted a serene glow, illuminating the entire secret chamber brightly.

A stone table was placed in the center of the chamber, where two men and a woman sat in conversation.

"Senior, could you reconsider? I earnestly wish to become your disciple," He Hentian said with a face full of sincerity.

"Firstly, I have no intention of accepting disciples, and secondly, you are not suited to be my disciple," Duanmu Hong rejected again: "This is the last time I'll say this—if you bring up the matter of apprenticeship in front of me again, I will throw you out."

He Hentian sighed heavily, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Seeing the atmosphere in the chamber turning oppressive, Gao Fei wanted to lighten the mood with a few words: "Senior, has that Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicine been fully refined? Has your longevity increased by a lot?"

Duanmu Hong nodded: "The Spiritual Medicine has been fully refined, but as for my longevity… it indeed increased, though not as much as you imagine."

"At least by tens of thousands of years, right?"

"How could that be!"

"Several thousand years, then?"

"Let me be clear with you—I only gained a century of life after consuming the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicine."

"What?" Gao Fei's eyes widened in disbelief: "Only a century? How could that be? Senior, you must be joking with me."

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Duanmu Hong huffed: "Besides, why should I need to joke with you?"

Gao Fei stared blankly at Duanmu Hong: "How could this be? Isn't it said that Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicines can greatly extend one's life?"

"Exactly, what's going on here?" Even He Hentian lifted his head to ask, "Could there be something wrong with that Spiritual Medicine?"

Duanmu Hong shook her head: "There's absolutely nothing wrong with the Spiritual Medicine! The problem lies with me. As you both know, before I took the medicine, the vital energy in my body was nearly depleted, and ninety percent of my body was filled with the qi of death. After taking the Spiritual Medicine, its energy began to expel the death qi inside me, and by the time all the death qi was driven out, little energy from the medicine remained… The remaining energy barely suffices to sustain me for another century." Duanmu Hong let out a bitter laugh: "In the end, I took the Spiritual Medicine too late. If I had consumed it earlier, I could have increased my lifespan further."

"I see," Gao Fei's face showed a sudden understanding.

"That's easy to solve, just find a few more Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicines to consume," He Hentian said nonchalantly. "Then your lifespan will dramatically increase."

"Easy for you to say," Duanmu Hong pursed her lips. "Tell me! Where will you find Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicines?"

"Er…" He Hentian was at a loss for words: "The world is so vast, surely with enough patience, they can be found, right?"

"In Ancient Times, Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicines were already exceedingly rare, each appearance would trigger a frenzy. Now, tens of thousands of years later, they're nearly extinct. I was already very fortunate to find one," Duanmu Hong explained.
