My Substitute CEO Bride

Roxy descended from the air, stumbling several steps before steadying her figure.

"You mad woman... You detonated an immortal rune!"

The figure in white revealed a horrified expression, his eyes filled with fear.

He would have been destroyed if he had not used his essence blood to resist this power just now, and he was in the Profound Oriental Realm.

The might of immortal runes was indeed terrifying.

Roxy calmly said, "Are you going to continue this?"

"One day, I'll lead the Limitless Sword Sect to crush the Sage Mantle Sect!"

The man in white gritted his teeth and spoke each word slowly.

The 12 immortal runes of the rune ancestor complemented each other, forming both attack and defense. They could even be described as divine treasures. This woman from the Sage Mantle Sect indeed could not fully control them.

However, she could detonate immortal runes.

She was willing to damage this immortal treasure to protect Nash.

If she detonated another one, it would be something he could not withstand.

He decided to wait for the Eldest Elder and the Second Elder to emerge from seclusion. Together, they would crush the entire Sage Mantle Sect.

"Do as you please," Roxy calmly replied.

The figure in white coldly glared at Roxy, then turned into a stream of light and shot into the sky.

As soon as the man in white left, Roxy spat out a mouthful of blood.

The 11 immortal runes gradually dissipated.

Nash crawled out of the Divine Farmer's Cauldron.

At this moment, he looked highly terrifying, as if he had been peeled alive.

Although burdened with heavy responsibilities, he was extremely excited inside.

His sword had just injured someone in the Profound Oriental Realm.

Roxy paced over, frowned at the bloodied Nash, and muttered, "Luckily, you have a strong life force..."

Nash wanted to speak, but he tasted something rusty in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The next moment, he fell unconscious into the Divine Farmer's Cauldron.

...

He did not know how long he had been unconscious.

Nash slowly regained consciousness and found himself lying in a cave.

A pile of bonfires was burning nearby.

Across from him... Roxy was sitting on a single-seater couch, holding a half-filled glass of red wine.

"You're awake..."

Roxy calmly looked at Nash.

"Ahem... How long have I been unconscious?" Nash asked hoarsely.

"Three days!"

Roxy parted her lips, her deep, beautiful eyes scrutinizing Nash.

Nash felt uneasy under her gaze.

When he lowered his head to look, he realized he was naked.

Under the dragon blood's healing, his injuries had mostly recovered.

He reached down and found his little buddy intact, which relieved him.

He quickly summoned a suit jacket and covered his lower body, hoarsely saying, "You've saved me again. Thank you!"

Roxy sipped her wine. "You should indeed thank me. I even detonated an immortal rune for you!"

She could fully control the 12 immortal runes after breaking through to the mid-Profound Oriental Realm.

By then, she would be invincible

within the Profound Oriental Realm.

She could even pose a threat to those in the Divine Sojourn Realm.

However, to save this worthless man, she detonated an immortal rune.

It was like missing a part of the eight trigrams or one of the five elements.

The 12 immortal runes could no longer unleash their peak power.

Nash hoarsely said, "You've saved me twice. I'll remember this favor. If you need me in the future, I, Nash,

will not hesitate to give my life!"

Roxy said lightly, "Focus on improving your strength. With your current power, you can't help me with anything!"

With that, she put away the couch and left.

Nash sighed. If he had not just broken through recently and his foundation was not completely stable, he would have already taken out those herbs and attempted to break through to the Profound Qriental Realm.

Two days later, Nash flew back to Jonford by plane.

Finn came to pick him up in a Mercedes-Benz.

Finn saw Nash's pale face in the car and could not help asking, "Nash, are you injured?"

Nash replied calmly, "It's just a minor injury. I'll recover in a few days. How has Jonford been lately?"

Finn pursed his lips, his eyes dimming as if he had some worries.

Nash furrowed his brows. "Has something happened?"
