My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 304 - 303 Everyone is at their wit's end

"How could this happen!" Gao Fei took a deep breath, "How could I be poisoned!"

"It must have been the poison from Beast King Valley," Xuan Jizi said. "From the moment you started feeling unwell... you had already been poisoned."

"Was it that bear?" Gao Fei twitched the corner of his mouth, "It self-destructed, almost blew me to death. Afterwards, I went over to examine it... and then I smelled a stench, followed by a feeling of discomfort..."

"Quickly think of a way to detoxify," said Xuan Jizi. "If you delay any longer, you will lose your life." Having said that, Xuan Jizi paused for a moment, "Hurry and find Song Qingfeng, have him help you with the antidote."

"I'll go right now." Gao Fei hurriedly left the room.

A moment later.

Gao Fei arrived at the Council Hall, "Sect Leader, I've run into trouble; you must help me."

"Trouble?" Song Qingfeng was startled, "What trouble?"

"I've been poisoned."

"What? You say you're poisoned?"

"Yes."

"Gao Fei, you can't make jokes about such things."

"It's no joke, it's true, I really have been poisoned," Gao Fei said urgently.

"Really poisoned?" Song Qingfeng stood up, walked over, grasped Gao Fei's arm, and after sensing carefully for a moment... his expression changed, "How could this be? How did you get poisoned?"

"I don't know..." Gao Fei said with a wry smile, shaking his head, "Many days ago, I started feeling a bit unwell, but I didn't make much of it. Then this morning, I suddenly felt a faint pain in my chest. When I used the Inner Vision Technique to check, I found out I was poisoned..."

"So you got the poison from Beast King Valley?" Song Qingfeng frowned deeply, "It must be some slow-acting, intense poison, gradually destroying your body... by the time you realized it, it was already too late..."

"Sect Leader, do you have a way to help me detoxify?" Gao Fei asked.

"I need to study it thoroughly, find out exactly what poison it is, and then I can devise a targeted antidote," Song Qingfeng said as he took out a silver needle and pricked Gao Fei's fingertip, squeezing out two drops of blood, "Rest assured, I will definitely find an antidote for you."

"I appreciate your help, Sect Leader," Gao Fei thanked him.

...

News of Gao Fei's poisoning spread quickly through the Tianyang Sect, bringing joy to some and sighs to others. The happiest were Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng.

"Heaven has eyes!" That was Jin Chaoyang's comment.

"Haha... This is great! Gao Fei, even you have such a day!" This was Jia Yunfeng's comment.

Both of them couldn't wait for Gao Fei to die sooner.

One day later, Gao Fei returned to the Council Hall, "Sect Leader, how's it going?"

Song Qingfeng looked a bit weary, shaking his head, "I studied it all night... and made no progress..."

"What do you mean by that...?"

"The poison in you is too domineering, too complex. I can't make an antidote in a short time."

"I..."

"I'm sorry, I've disappointed you," Song Qingfeng sighed deeply.

Was Gao Fei disappointed? Of course, he was!

"Give me a few more days, maybe then I can come up with an antidote," Song Qingfeng said.

"The key issue is... I don't know how much longer I can hold on..." Gao Fei said with a bitter smile, "In just one day, the poison has spread twice as much. At this rate, I'm afraid... I won't live for much longer."

"Don't lose hope," Song Qingfeng comforted, "There's always a way out! I will definitely get through this difficulty!"

After speaking for a while, Gao Fei turned and left.

"Sigh..." Song Qingfeng let out a heavy sigh, "Heaven is jealous of gifted individuals! Tianyang Sect has finally produced a peerless genius, and now he has been poisoned, his life hanging by a thread! Oh heavens, this is unfair to Tianyang Sect!!!"

Song Qingfeng had invested so much effort and hope in Gao Fei, gone to great lengths to cultivate him, watching him grow step by step, and was extremely pleased. Unfortunately, fate was cruel; Gao Fei was stricken with a deadly poison, on the verge of death at any time.

Song Qingfeng felt pained, heartbroken, and helpless.

Was there no day of rising for Tianyang Sect?

Song Qingfeng summoned all the elders to study the poison in Gao Fei together. For several days, the group researched but came to no conclusion.

"Don't waste any more time, we can't solve this poison," Jin Chaoyang said, "Or rather, we can't solve it in a short time."

"Elder Jin is right," nodded Jia Yunfeng, "The poison in Gao Fei is too complex. I've been studying it for several days and still can't find a trace of a clue." Here, Jia Yunfeng added another sentence, "It seems Gao Fei won't escape this time."

"Can't you say anything positive?" Song Qingfeng's face darkened, "I know you have reservations about Gao Fei, but you can't curse him to death, can you?"

After being reprimanded by Song Qingfeng, Jin Chaoyang and Jia Yunfeng closed their mouths and said no more.

"What about the rest of you?" Song Qingfeng turned to look at the others, "Do you also have no solution?"

Everyone shook their heads, "No solution."

"Are we just going to watch Gao Fei die?" Song Qingfeng said furiously, "Gao Fei is the hope for Tianyang Sect's revival; he absolutely must not die!"

"Sect Leader, you should face reality," said an elder, "We all feel the pain and want to save Gao Fei, but the poison is too overpowering. It's beyond our ability to solve; instead of wasting time here, we might as well..."

"Might as well what?" Song Qingfeng glared.

"Find more Miraculous Elixirs to extend Gao Fei's life," continued the elder, "Let him live his final days happily."

"I have a millennia-aged Ginseng in my collection that I can give to Gao Fei."

"I have a few Primordial Pills."

"My spirit tree has finally borne fruit; I can give Gao Fei a few to taste."

The elders chattered without stopping, everyone giving their thoughts in succession.

It was clear to all that Gao Fei's life could not be saved; they could only seek ways to prolong Gao Fei's life, to let Gao Fei enjoy a few more good days.

Song Qingfeng sat in the chair with his eyes closed, motionless, feeling extremely tired at that moment.

"Sect Leader, please make a statement."

"Yes, Sect Leader, you decide what we should do."

"We will follow your lead."

...

Song Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes and scanned each person present: "I ask you all one question, if Tianyang Sect prospers, does it benefit you?"

"Of course, it does," they replied in unison.

"Then let me ask you, how can we make Tianyang Sect flourish?" Song Qingfeng continued.

"That..." Everyone became hesitant and could not answer.

"If a Transcendance Tribulation Stage Great Cultivator emerged in Tianyang Sect, wouldn't the sect's strength increase?" Song Qingfeng asked.

"Definitely!" they agreed.

"Gao Fei has the potential to become a Great Cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage! He might even break free from his shackles and become an Immortal directly!"

"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

"Not in the slightest," Song Qingfeng dismissed with a wave of his hand. "Gao Fei only took three months to advance from a mortal to the Eighth Layer of the Inedia Stage. Such cultivation speed is truly unprecedented and unparalleled! He is a deserving genius! His future achievements will certainly far surpass ours!"

"What's the point of talking about this now?" Jin Chaoyang sneered. "Gao Fei is about to die soon; what does it matter if he is a genius?"

"That is why we must find every possible way to save Gao Fei's life," Song Qingfeng stated resolutely.

"Impossible," Jin Chaoyang shook his head vigorously. "Gao Fei is as good as dead; no one can save him." After a pause, Jin Chaoyang added, "Even immortals descending to the mortal realm would be helpless."

"I really have no way either," Jia Yunfeng spread his hands and shrugged.

"Nor do we," the other elders shook their heads one after the other.

"You all may go back," Song Qingfeng said weakly, waving them away. "Leave me alone to have some quiet."

The elders stood up and walked out steadily.

In the blink of an eye, the Council Hall was left with only Song Qingfeng.

Song Qingfeng raised his head, staring blankly at the ceiling, wondering if there really was no solution.

...

Days passed by, and Song Qingfeng still could find no way to cure Gao Fei.

Gao Fei's condition got worse day by day; now he was vomiting blood daily, the fresh blood black in color and emitting a pungent stench.

"Am I going to die?"

Gao Fei leaned against the doorframe, muttering to himself. His face was very pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair disheveled, looking very pitiful.

"Gao Fei..." Song Qingfeng pushed the door open and entered, "How do you feel today?"

Gao Fei shook his head: "Very bad!"

"Here are Heart-saving Pills, refined by my own hands, which can alleviate your pain," Song Qingfeng handed over a few pills, shining and beautiful.

"Thank you," Gao Fei reached out and took them.

"Gao Fei..." Song Qingfeng said with a face full of guilt, "I'm sorry! I can't save you! I'm truly sorry!"

"You have done more than enough for me," Gao Fei tried to smile, "I am truly grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. This time it's my bad luck; no one else is to blame. It's a pity, though, I've not had enough of life, I really don't want to die."

Seeing Gao Fei in such agony, Song Qingfeng felt terrible inside.

"You rest, I will come to see you another day," Song Qingfeng patted Gao Fei's shoulder and turned to leave.

"Cough cough cough..."

A bout of coughing came from behind.

"Pfft!"

Followed by the sound of vomiting blood.

Song Qingfeng's body swayed, then he left without looking back.

...

At the doorway.

Gao Fei wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth and then contacted Xuan Jizi through mental power, "How about it? Did you come up with any solutions?"

"Your blood, bones, and organs have all been infiltrated by deadly poison. Replacing all these things might provide a glimmer of hope," Xuan Jizi said gravely.

"Blood transfusion? Bone replacement? Even all organs?" Gao Fei laughed, "Is that even possible? Can it be done? If a person loses their blood, bones, and organs, can they still survive? Surely, they would die on the spot."

"This is only a hypothesis of mine," Xuan Jizi replied, "You shouldn't take it too seriously."

"So you have no way either?" Gao Fei said with a wry smile, "It seems I'm really going to die. I just can't accept it."
