Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 182: Not reaching

After seeing the marks on Gao Lan Mei, she became furious, completely forgetting about her injured hand. 

Ming Ya gave up on the whip and attacked using her palms, "Despicable slut!" She furiously shrieked. 

The courtyard was a private property owned by Wei Jiayi and no female could go inside except for female shadow guards, based on the circumstances. 

Ming Ya definitely could not count this woman who used the large bathing area for nobles, as one of the shadow guards. 

'Pleasure expert?' Ming Ya did not care. If this woman was allowed to enter, it meant she had all the means to get Wei Jiayi's attention. 

Though that's what she was thinking, the woman was not innocent anymore, with the multiple love marks on her skin. 

"Hmm, I know you. You are from the Ming family." Gao Lan Mei thoughtfully commented then jumped on a big stone nearby, to avoid Ming Ya's close strikes that were laced with spiritual energy as well. 

"Yes, I am from the Ming Family!" Ming Ya retorted indignantly, glaring daggers to Gao Lan Mei. "A  family with strong and wealthy background. " 

Then added further, "And you a slut! Do you think Wei Jiayi will notice you just because you are allowed here?" For Ming Ya, just following the retainers of the Wei Palace was not enough for the Wei Prince to notice a woman.  

"He will not even touch you because you are already filthy and touched by other men. " Ming Ya continued, mockingly completely assuming that the marks on Gao Lan Mei's neck were from other men. 

"Heh." Gao Lan Mei only smirked mockingly not even responding to Ming Ya as she found it highly troublesome and amusing at the same time.

Ming Ya felt insulted, after seeing Gao Lan Mei smirk, she continued her attack. Her palm strike, but regardless of how desperate she tried to hit, it was not reaching. 

She also tried to condense enough spiritual energy for an elemental attack but failed to do so. 

Hand to hand combat, this was her only means to fight now. The dress that she was wearing did not have a sleeve pocket thus she did not have another means to defend or attack. 

She also couldn't use the whip while her other hand was injured. It would've just caused too much pain. 

She also did not have a storage ring to keep large items with her conveniently, as those who had it were royalties or high profile, cultivators. 

These limitations were one of the reasons why she wanted to marry someone strong and influential. 

She just needed to remove the hurdle in front of her to make sure Wei Jiayi will not get distracted by another beautiful woman.  

Though the woman looked untidy possibly due to her intruding of her bath, the presence of the woman alone was enough to catch anyone's attention. 

Anyone couldn't just avoid the feeling of strength and authority around her that Ming Ya wasn't able to deny, but will never acknowledge. 

Ming Ya continued to attack, but none of it hit her target. However, how many times was she grabbed by the woman? 

The palm lingering Ming  Ya's skin was warm, like burning, she was not able to free herself from Gao Lan Mei's grip. 

She tried to hit the woman's abdomen, but instead, Ming Ya received a kick to her chest that pushed her back making her topple her ice wolf that was already severely injured by the black hound. 

Ming Ya coughed blood, her internal organs were damaged by just one kick. She was now lying on her spirit beast's body. 

"Useless spirit beast!" She hit the wolf after seeing it so battered, losing so quickly to the black hound.
