My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 312 - 309: A Monkey

"Here's a small pond, take a couple of sips and try it."

"Huh? There are also fish in the pond, eat a couple and try."

"Here's a little flower, it looks so pretty, take a couple of bites and try."

...

As long as there was something edible, Gao Fei would go up and take a couple of bites, which were sweet, a bit sour, and some bitter... In a short while, Gao Fei's tongue swelled up, and when he touched it lightly, the pain was unbearable.

"I can't go on like this." Gao Fei said with a bitter smile, "It's too painful."

"Bear with it," said Xuan Jizi. "To find the antidote, you must endure." With that said, Xuan Jizi added, "Eat every edible thing in Beast King Valley, perhaps you could stumble upon the antidote."

"Is there really no other way?"

"No."

"My life is really tough, so tough, it's unbearably tough. Could it be that I committed sins in my past life, and that this life is my punishment?"

"That possibility exists."

"Oh heavens, if I truly sinned in my past life, strike me dead with thunder so that I'm no longer tormented. I really can't take it anymore."

...

After howling in misery for a while, Gao Fei continued onward.

From dawn to dusk, and from night till dawn, along the way, Gao Fei ate too many things. His tongue swelled up so much he lost feeling in it. Throughout the day, Gao Fei vomited blood more than a dozen times, and with every mouthful of blood, his complexion grew paler.

"Ouch, I can't go on. I can't move anymore." Gao Fei found a rock to sit on and massaged his legs, "I am so tired! I feel like I'm falling apart!"

"Hold on a bit longer," Xuan Jizi's voice came from inside his head.

"Easy for you to say, you're not the one in pain."

"I'm not standing, I'm sitting."

"You..."

"There's a saying, 'Perseverance is victory.' If you persevere to the end, you will definitely be victorious."

...

With Xuan Jizi's encouragement, Gao Fei stood up and continued deeper into Beast King Valley.

"Swoosh!"

A monkey ran out from ahead, bumped face-to-face with Gao Fei, and upon seeing Gao Fei, it opened its eyes wide and its fur stood on end.

"What kind is this? A golden monkey? A preserved egg monkey? Not a small one, huh?" Gao Fei looked the monkey up and down.

"Bastard! You'll meet a bad end!" The monkey spoke in human language, cursed Gao Fei out, then retreated a few steps, ready to flee at any sign of trouble.

The monkey had never dreamed it would encounter Gao Fei here, such a surprise, such a shock.

"You can speak?" Gao Fei was quite surprised.

"It was you who killed the king! I must avenge our king!"

"King? What king?"

"The Bear King of Beast King Valley!"

"How do you know I killed him?"

"I was hiding nearby at that time, and I saw everything very clearly!"

"So, after all this, you're that bear's lackey, huh." Gao Fei nodded. "I have a few questions for you, answer me honestly." Before the monkey could speak, Gao Fei continued, "You're quite familiar with that bear, right? Does it use poison?"

"Poison?" The monkey blinked, then laughed: "Have you been poisoned?"

"Answer my question," Gao Fei said expressionlessly.

"Ha ha ha... You actually got poisoned..." The monkey grinned and burst into laughter: "I'm so happy, really so happy!"

"That's right, I've indeed been poisoned," Gao Fei shrugged and pouted: "And the poison is quite domineering. I've tried many methods, but I couldn't find the antidote."

"Just give up." The monkey snorted: "You've been poisoned by the Bear King's concoction, and you'll be dead soon." At this point, the monkey paused: "The fact that you're still alive now is already incredibly surprising to me."

"Bear King?" Gao Fei seized on the three words: "You mean to say... it was the Bear King who poisoned me?"

"Want to know? Really want to know? Desperately want to know? Then beg me, if you beg me, I'll tell you."

"Dream on," Gao Fei snorted: "The idea of me begging you is absolutely impossible."

"Really not going to beg me?"

"No begging!"

"Forget it, I won't quibble with you." The monkey waved its paw: "I'll tell you the truth, so you can die knowing." After catching its breath, the monkey continued: "The Bear King was born unusual, possessing two Golden Cores in his body."

"What?" Gao Fei showed surprise: "Two Golden Cores?"

"That's right, two Golden Cores reside within the Bear King. One shines brightly, and the other is pitch-black. One contains abundant Spiritual Energy, and the other is filled with horrifically deadly poison," the monkey explained slowly.

A glint of light flashed in Gao's eyes: "Go on."

"You used tricks and schemes to defeat the Bear King, and then the Bear King caused his Golden Cores to self-destruct. The simultaneous self-destruction of both Cores was extremely powerful."

"Self-destruction of the Golden Cores is indeed terrifying," Gao Fei nodded.

"When the Golden Cores exploded, the poison hidden within was released, and then you absorbed it... Yes, that must be it. Counting the days, you've been poisoned for quite a while now, and you're still alive? That's inconceivable."

"Finally, I've found the reason for the poisoning," Gao Fei's face twitched violently.

"Hadn't you already left? How come you're back? Isn't the entrance to Beast King Valley covered by a Formation? How did you get in?" The monkey had quite a few questions.

"My return to Beast King Valley was to seek the Antidote," said Gao Fei.

"Stop deluding yourself." The monkey sneered: "Even if you turn Beast King Valley upside down, you won't find the Antidote. Alright, I won't waste more words with you, I'm leaving." The monkey turned to leave.

"Think you can leave? It's not that easy!" Gao Fei leaped to pursue.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The monkey sped off incredibly fast, and its leaps widened the gap from Gao Fei in an instant.

"Wow, you're quite fast, aren't you!" Gao Fei took out the Thousand Transformations Stone from his storage ring, his Mental Power shifted, and the stone turned into a dart, "Go!" Gao Fei threw the dart.

"Whoosh!!!"

The dart turned into a meteor, slicing through the air, and struck the monkey in the back.

"Ouch!"

The monkey let out a miserable scream, falling from the sky and crashing into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. A dart was stuck in its back, and blood slowly oozed out, staining the monkey's fur red.

Gao Fei approached the monkey with light steps: "Run, why aren't you running? Get up and keep running?"

"You... you're despicable... shameless..." The monkey cursed through gritted teeth: "You couldn't catch up with me, so you used darts to attack me from behind, you're so insidious! So disgraceful!"

"Swear at me one more time, I dare you!" Gao Fei said with a fiercely angry face: "I'll smash your head with one punch; do you believe me?" With that, Gao Fei waved his fist.
