My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 188 - 186: Pushing Too Far (Part 3)

Southwestern Barren Mountains.

Gao Fei lay in wait near the Yin Yang Sect, pondering over the token these past two days. If he could destroy the token, the threatening Killing Formation wouldn't be able to activate, and he would then be able to stride boldly into the Yin Yang Sect to rescue people.

The crux of the issue was... the token was in Xiong Batian's hands, and destroying it was easier said than done.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

A faint sound of footsteps came from behind.

"Who's there!" Gao Fei swiftly turned around, a gleaming Sharp Sword appearing in his palm.

"Hold your hand... it's me..." A young man dressed in ancient robes hurriedly shouted.

"Oh, it's you." Gao Fei sheathed the Sharp Sword and asked with an expressionless face, "Did you complete the task I gave you?" The young man before him was a disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, who had been captured by Gao Fei a few days ago. After being interrogated, he was made to swallow a Poisonous Pill and told to obediently comply with Gao Fei's arrangements if he wanted the Antidote.

The young man shook his head: "I haven't... I can't find the opportunity... Dongfang Jian is very cautious, and it's hard for me even to get close to him..." The task Gao Fei had assigned him was... to find an opportunity to kill Dongfang Jian.

"Useless." Gao Fei cursed: "You can't even handle such a trivial matter."

"Right, I am useless." The young man nodded: "I really can't do it... Please, let me go."

"Fine, you don't have to kill Dongfang Jian anymore." Gao Fei waved his hand.

"Ah?" The young man was stunned: "Really, no more?"

"Yes, no more," Gao Fei nodded: "I see clearly now, you are just a useless coward, you wouldn't dare to kill Dongfang Jian even if you had a hundred guts."

The young man stood there, unable to retort a word as Gao Fei pointed his finger at him and scolded.

"Alright, now go," Gao Fei waved his hand dismissively.

"Go? You haven't given me the antidote yet?"

"You still want an antidote?" Gao Fei snorted coldly: "You botched the task and still have the cheek to ask for an antidote! Get lost, and disappear from my sight now!"

"No, it's not that..." the young man became anxious: "If you don't give me the antidote, I will die..."

"Worried now? What were you doing earlier?"

"I'm just an ordinary disciple, with neither power nor cultivation. You asked me to assassinate Dongfang Jian, that's really too difficult for me."

"Enough, no more talking, I don't want to hear you talk right now."

"Please, just give me the antidote, I don't want to die, I beg you."

"..." Gao Fei curled his lip: "Seeing how pitiful you look, I'll give you another chance. Do one thing for me, and after it's done, I'll give you the antidote."

The young man's face twitched as he asked with a trembling voice, "What is it?"

"Xiong Batian has a token on him that's used to start the Killing Formation. Go steal it for me."

"Er... I can't do that..."

"Can't do it?" Gao Fei's expression darkened.

"I... I really can't do it... I'm just a minor disciple, and it's very difficult for me to get close to Xiong Batian..."

"Then wait to die from the poison spreading through your body."

"...I...I do have a thought that might help you..."

"What thought?"

The young man swallowed nervously, hesitantly asking, "If I help you steal the token, will you give me the antidote?"

"That's right." Gao Fei nodded.

"You're not deceiving me?"

"Rest assured, if I promised you, I will make good on it."

"...Xiong Batian has recently taken a new concubine who's very favored; they sleep together every night... If there's anyone who could steal the token from Xiong Batian, it would be Zhu Xiaoxue... Oh, Zhu Xiaoxue is the new concubine that Xiong Batian has just married. She's beautiful and has a nice figure, even I'm somewhat tempted when I see her..."

"Zhu Xiaoxue." A spark flashed in Gao Fei's eyes: "Find a way to lure her out, and leave the rest to me."

"I'll try, but Zhu Xiaoxue is very shrewd. It will be tough to deceive her and lure her out."

"That's your problem. If you want the antidote, trick Zhu Xiaoxue into coming out. Otherwise, just wait for the poison to kill you."

"…I'll do my best."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"I'm Hu San."

"Go then. Once you've handled this task, not only will I give you the antidote, but you will also be handsomely rewarded."

"I'm going back." Hu San turned around and made his way back to Yin Yang Sect.

…

After returning to Yin Yang Sect, Hu San pulled out all the stops to fool Zhu Xiaoxue, and to his surprise, he actually managed to deceive her.

Just like that, Hu San tricked Zhu Xiaoxue into leaving the Yin Yang Sect.

"Swoosh!"

A dark figure darted out from the side and grabbed Zhu Xiaoxue by the throat.

"Ah!"

Zhu Xiaoxue screamed, her face turning pale with fear, "I warn you… I'm Xiong Batian's woman from Yin Yang Sect, if you dare to hurt me, Xiong Batian won't let you get away with this…"

"Hmph!" Gao Fei looked Zhu Xiaoxue up and down, "You are indeed beautiful; no wonder Xiong Batian is so enchanted by you." With these words, Gao Fei pulled out a black pill from his chest and forced it into Zhu Xiaoxue's mouth.

"What have you given me?" Zhu Xiaoxue was terrified.

"Don't worry, it's just a poisonous pill," Gao Fei said with a smile. "Just do as I say, and I'll give you the antidote."

"You… what on earth do you want…," Zhu Xiaoxue was close to tears.

Gao Fei waved Hu San away, "All right, your part is done here. You can go back now."

"Okay." Hu San nodded and walked away with brisk steps.

"You're in this together," Zhu Xiaoxue said with a trembling voice.

"Thump!"

Gao Fei threw Zhu Xiaoxue to the ground and then said fiercely, "If you want to live, help me with one thing."

"What is it…"

"Steal the token from Xiong Batian."

"…No, I refuse…"

"Refuse?" Gao Fei sneered, "So, you prefer to die?"

"Please, I beg you, let me go," sobbed Zhu Xiaoxue, "I'm begging you…"

"You only have two choices now. First, steal the token. Second, die. Choose."

…

Under Gao Fei's coercion, Zhu Xiaoxue finally gave in.

"I… I'll steal the token…," Zhu Xiaoxue said dejectedly. "But you have to swear that after I steal the token, you'll give me the antidote."

"Don't worry, I keep my word," Gao Fei assured her. "I won't deceive you."

"Swear it!"

"…Fine, I swear!" Gao Fei raised his right hand and took a vicious oath, "Are you reassured now?"

"You're a devil! I hate you!" After saying these words, Zhu Xiaoxue turned and left.

"Finally, it's done," Gao Fei let out a light sigh of relief. "I've done what I could; now it's all down to luck."
