My Sexy CEO Wife

Gao Fei exhausted all his persuasive skills to the point where his mouth almost fell apart, but in the end, he convinced Duanmu Hong.

"When do we set off?" Duanmu Hong asked.

"Let's wait a few more days, I still have some unfinished business," Gao Fei replied.

"All right, I'll wait for your message," Duanmu Hong nodded.

After coming out of the ancient tomb, Gao Fei returned to his residence and then shared the good news with He Hentian.

When He Hentian learned that Duanmu Hong had agreed, he was immediately overjoyed, "Hahaha... The Demon Race and Demon Clan are in big trouble now! They're done for!!!"

Three days later.

A luxurious flying ship left Heavenly Water City with three people on board: Gao Fei, He Hentian, and Duanmu Hong.

"At this speed, it should take us about a month to reach the border," He Hentian announced the calculated result.

"A month, huh," Duanmu Hong frowned.

"It's already quite fast," He Hentian said with a wry smile, "With any other flying ship, it would take at least two months. Being able to save half the time is already pretty good."

Duanmu Hong picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then asked, "Do you two have a concrete plan?"

Gao Fei and He Hentian exchanged a glance, then Gao Fei began, "We do have a plan, but... it requires senior's cooperation."

"Let's hear it," Duanmu Hong said, placing his teacup on the table and looking at Gao Fei with interest.

"Does senior remember those Demon Beasts?" Gao Fei asked, "I mean the ones imprisoned in Demon-Sealing Valley behind the Myriad Buddhas Sect's mountain, which include a gorilla, a lizard, a bear... Do you remember them?"

"Demon Beasts?" Duanmu Hong narrowed his eyes, "Of course, I remember! We were trapped in Demon-Sealing Valley back then, and those Demon Beasts even attacked us. I subdued them in the end and took a wisp of their souls. It's no exaggeration to say that their lives are in my hands."

"Among them, there is a gorilla called Xing Batian; he was once the Demon Emperor, and the current Demon Emperor Xing Mietian is Xing Batian's son. I plan to take Xing Batian to the border to help us deal with Xing Mietian."

"Oh, fine, we'll make a trip to the Myriad Buddhas Sect and rescue Xing Batian."

"And there are other Demon Beasts. They're all very powerful and can be of great assistance."

"Okay, we'll rescue them all."

With that decision made, the flying ship changed course and headed towards the location of the Myriad Buddhas Sect.

A few days later, the flying ship stopped in front of the gates of the Myriad Buddhas Sect. Duanmu Hong's appearance alone frightened the gatekeeping monk to shiver uncontrollably. Quickly, the abbot Xuan Si led a group of monks rushing out.

Duanmu Hong jumped off the flying ship and demanded the imprisoned Demon Beasts from Abbot Xuan Si. Initially, the abbot did not agree, but Duanmu Hong grew angry, shattered the Defensive Great Formation with a palm strike, and sent several disciples flying. Abbot Xuan Si was terrified and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

An hour later, Duanmu Hong departed on the flying ship. A pack of burly figures stood on the deck at the bow, who were the Demon Beasts in human form. Leading them was a broad-faced, fierce-looking giant man, with a massive stature, gazing into the distance with extremely excited eyes.

"Big brother, who would've thought we'd have a day of liberation!" exclaimed the old lizard in excitement.

"This is amazing!" roared the old bear with a laugh, "The taste of freedom is just too exhilarating! I'm almost fainting from the delight!"

Xing Batian clenched his fists, his mouth slowly curling into a smile as his eyes sparkled with a fierce light, "This time out, we must stir things up, take back everything we've lost!"

"Yes! Let's cause a real uproar!"

"Take back everything we've lost!!!"

The old lizard and the old bear shouted at the top of their lungs.

…

Just then, Gao Fei emerged from the cabin and waved at Xing Batian, "Xing Mietian, come over for a second, I have something to tell you."

"What's up," Xing Batian approached with big strides.

"What do you plan to do?" Gao Fei asked, arms crossed and a smile in his eyes as he looked at Xing Batian.

"What? What are you saying? I didn't catch that," Xing Batian looked confusedly at Gao Fei.

"Don't you find your current status a bit awkward?"

"Awkward?"

"I ask you, what was your status before?"

"The Demon Emperor, of course."

"And now?"

"Now..."

"You are a prisoner under the Myriad Buddhas Sect. If it weren't for us coming to the rescue, you'd still be locked up in the Myriad Buddhas Sect," said Gao Fei. "The current Demon Emperor is Xing Mietian, your son. When you return to the Demon Race, how do you think your son will treat you? Will he surrender his position willingly, confine you, or perhaps kill you outright?"

"He wouldn't dare!" Xing Batian roared, "I am the true Demon Emperor! The elder Great Demons of the Demon Race were all promoted by me; they must certainly side with me in their hearts! When I return to the Demon Race and regain my power, if that kid Xing Mietian steps down willingly, I won't make it too hard for him. When I grow old, I might even pass the throne back to him. On the other hand, if he dares to be sly with me, I'll cripple him."

"Good!" Gao Fei nodded, "Once you reclaim your throne, I'll definitely prepare a grand gift for you!"

"Just you watch, it won't take long before I ascend to the throne again," Xing Batian said with full confidence.

After a brief exchange, Gao Fei returned to the cabin, and Xing Batian went back to the bow of the ship.

"How did it go?" He Hentian walked over to ask, "What did the big ape say?"

"He said he's going to take back the throne of the Demon Emperor," Gao Fei said with a laugh.

He Hentian clenched his fist with excitement: "Now this will be an interesting show! A father-son battle, that's a rare spectacle. Gao, who do you think will win in the end?"

"Hard to say," Gao Fei shook his head.

"I hope Xing Batian wins. After all, we have control over him. If he retrieves the throne, we could order him to pull back the Demon Race's armies or even help us against the Demon Clan," He Hentian mused hopefully, though whether it would come true was another matter.

"Hopefully," Gao Fei responded noncommittally.

Time flew by quickly.

Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, drawing them ever closer to the border.

Gao Fei sat alone in the secret chamber, eyes half-closed, fingers moving rapidly. If one looked closely, they could see his fingers moving in a certain pattern, seemingly chaotic, but there was a rhythm beneath the surface. At first, fingers were visible, but later on, only afterimages could be seen...

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Sudden fine threads burst forth from his fingertips, wildly twisting in mid-air.

"Hahaha!" Gao Fei burst into delighted laughter, "I've finally done it! I've succeeded!!! I've cultivated the Phoenix Dance to the Heavens!"

"Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Two figures rushed over from different directions, Duanmu Hong and He Hentian, attracted by Gao Fei's laughter.

"What's with the ghostly laughter in the dead of night... eh, what's this... my gosh! You've cultivated the Phoenix Dance to the Heavens! Am I seeing things?" He Hentian burst out, incredulous, "How can this be? I'm still in the comprehension stage, yet you've already succeeded? Is the gap between us really this big? Aren't I smarter than you?"

Surprise flashed in Duanmu Hong's eyes too, "I didn't expect you to comprehend it so quickly! Impressive! But you've only grasped a little. You're still far from full mastery." Phoenix Dance to the Heavens was a secret technique from the Primordial Era, incredibly powerful and formidable. Even Duanmu Hong herself hadn't fully mastered it. If the Phoenix Dance to the Heavens could be divided into ten parts, Duanmu Hong had at most comprehended eight. The final two parts were too difficult and remained elusive. Nevertheless, the power of the Phoenix Dance to the Heavens when unleashed by Duanmu Hong was still terrifying.
