My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 398 - 395 Miracles Happened

Under the scorching sun.

Gao Fei carried Miao Kuangfeng on his back as he dashed forward furiously.

Two soldiers followed closely behind.

Tens of kilometers away, dust filled the air as a troop of horsemen pursued them, led by none other than Hao Niu and Ma Wei.

"Those ahead, listen! You can't escape. Surrender now, and I might spare your lives!" Hao Niu bellowed.

Gao Fei and the others kept their heads down and continued on their way, paying no attention to Hao Niu.

"Chase! Keep chasing!" Hao Niu roared, "Catch them and kill them all!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Hao Niu led his men to accelerate the chase.

The distance was closing in bit by bit...

"Sir! The bandits are about to catch up!" the two soldiers said anxiously.

"Are you afraid of death?" Gao Fei asked.

The two soldiers shook their heads hurriedly, "No! From the day we enlisted, we were prepared for death."

"Well done!" Gao Fei praised, "As a real man living in this world, with heaven above and earth below, even in death, one must stand tall and not be looked down upon."

"You're right, sir," the two soldiers nodded, "If there's an afterlife, we'll still serve under you."

"Good!" Gao Fei nodded, "I believe there will be an afterlife!"

At that moment, Gao Fei had a resolved heart, preferring death over submission!

"Sir, what is that?" the two soldiers cried out in alarm.

"Eh?" Gao Fei looked up and saw a black fog appearing a hundred yards away. Yes, a black fog, which was endless as far as the eye could see.

"Swish swish swish..."

There came a series of rapid horse neighs from behind.

Gao Fei looked back and saw the bandits had all stopped. He wondered to himself, what did this mean? Why had they stopped chasing? Could it be... related to that black fog?

"Look, sir! The black fog is moving!"

"My God! The black fog is moving towards us! It's so fast!"

The two soldiers screamed in panic.

"What..." Gao Fei had just turned his head when he saw a scene that filled him with horror... An endless expanse of black fog moved swiftly towards them, engulfing Gao Fei and his companions, leaving no chance for them to escape.

"Ah! The black fog is poisonous!"

"My face! My hands! They're rotting away! Ahh!!!"

The two soldiers screamed miserably.

Gao Fei and Miao Kuangfeng were also in a dire situation, enveloped by the poisonous black fog, their whole bodies started to rot.

First the hair, then the clothes, followed by the skin...

It was a cruel irony that they hadn't been killed by their enemies, only to be poisoned to death by an unknown black fog—an irony so profound that Gao Fei felt an urge to cry, but no tears came.

Strangely enough, after devouring Gao Fei and his companions, the black fog ceased to move, hanging in the air with an eerie stillness.

...

In the distance.

Thousands of bandits were retreating in unison, fear written all over their faces, including Hao Niu and Ma Wei.

What exactly was the origin of the black fog? Why were even Hao Niu and Ma Wei afraid?

The answer was revealed right away.

"Damn!" Hao Niu cursed, "How unlucky can we get? Why did we run into this thing!"

"Our luck is indeed terrible," Ma Wei said with a wry smile. "We encounter something that others wouldn't come across in their entire lifetime, just like that. Luckily, we stopped in time, or else we would have been devoured by the black fog as well."

"What is that black fog?" Cao Buwei asked curiously. "Why is everyone so afraid of it?"

"The black fog is a devil!" Hao Niu said with a pale face. "A devil that devours people without blinking an eye! No, it doesn't just eat people; it eats animals too... let's put it this way, it devours any living thing it encounters."

"A devil?" Cao Buwei's eyes widened.

"No one knows where the black fog comes from, or even when it started to appear... it just popped up out of nowhere..." Hao Niu continued, his face betraying his palpitations. "At first, the area covered by the black fog was very small, and it wasn't very harmful... then it began to constantly devour living beings, growing larger and larger... until it became what we see now..."

"Damn..." Cao Buwei grimaced severely. "How many living beings must it have devoured to have grown this large?"

"Hmm." Hao Niu let out a bitter laugh. "At least hundreds of millions..."

"Hundreds... of millions?" Cao Buwei nearly bit off his own tongue, his expression extremely shocked. "That's too exaggerated."

"Let's go, let's head back," Hao Niu motioned with his hand. "Those people who were devoured by the black fog... they definitely can't be alive... Right, you all saw clearly, right? Among the four people devoured by the black fog, Miao Kuangfeng was there, wasn't he?"

"Yes!" Cao Buwei quickly nodded. "I saw it clear as day! Miao Kuangfeng was lying on Gao Fei's back! There's no mistake!"

"I also saw clearly, it was Miao Kuangfeng," Di Renkui nodded as well.

"Good, that's good to know." Actually, Hao Niu had seen clearly but wanted further confirmation: "Let's go, let's head back."

"Wait a minute!" Ma Wei shouted in surprise. "Everyone, look... Oh my god... how could this be?"

"What is it?" Hao Niu turned his head in confusion. "What's the fuss... Eh... What's this? Damn! Are my eyes deceiving me?"

"How can this be!" Cao Buwei and Di Renkui were also completely shocked.

What exactly had happened?

Why were Hao Niu and the others so stunned?

Everyone, don't worry; the mystery will soon be revealed!

Contrary to expectation, Gao Fei, who was supposed to be dead, walked out from the black fog, full of life and vigor, showing no signs of having been poisoned.

"Gao Fei... how are you... still alive..." Cao Buwei asked incredulously.

"If you're not dead, how could I die?" Gao Fei retorted coldly.

"What about Miao Kuangfeng? Is he still alive?" Hao Niu was most concerned about Miao Kuangfeng.

"You'll be disappointed to hear that Commander Wan is doing quite well," Gao Fei replied indifferently.

"How is this possible? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Hao Niu felt like he was going mad; the scene before him was too illogical, too unbelievable. It simply made no sense. "My eyes must be playing tricks on me; yes, that has to be it!" Hao Niu rubbed his eyes forcefully, but when he looked up again, Gao Fei was still standing at the edge of the black fog, smirking at him.

There was no mistake; it was reality.

Ma Wei recovered from his shock, his expression complex as he looked at Gao Fei: "Tell me, how did you survive? As far as I know, the black fog not only has a strong devouring power but also is highly toxic. With your level of cultivation, survival should be impossible. Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"Speak! How did you manage to survive?" Hao Niu demanded loudly.

Cao Buwei and Di Renkui were all ears as well, keen to listen. They were also curious and perplexed.

The key question was... would Gao Fei answer?
