Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 386: Another bet

"Check on Zhao Liwei... Do you think he will be alright there?" Gao Lan Mei asked with a frown. If the enemies can go to the underground safety chambers without any problem, there is a very high chance that they can attack anytime as well.

"Don't worry about him. He can take care of himself," Wei Jiayi advice gloomily interrupting Gao Lan Mei's line of thought. "If not, then it's his fault to be weak." He added unsatisfied.

Wei Jiayi is feeling a bitter taste on his mouth, not liking that Gao Lan Mei is worried about another man.

Gao Lan Mei raised a brow at Wei Jiayi, "What is wrong with you? Are you jealous?" She said teasingly.

"Yes!" Wei Jiayi exclaimed shamelessly then quickly lean in to give Gao Lan Mei a hungry kiss showing ownership, not even caring if someone else saw them at that moment.

When satisfied, he carefully picked up Gao Lan Mei bridal style to not hurt her arms then he walked towards the capital's main gate. For him the sooner they can fix the enemies the better.

"Wait! Stop for now." Gao Lan Mei shrieked after she got her senses back that was taken away due to his passionate kiss. She then looked at Wei Jiayi strangely. 'Has he forgotten that I am dressed as a man now?'

Nevertheless, he still continued to walk. "Jiayi, stop!" Gao Lan Mei face turned black when Wei Jaiyi started to sprint instead of halting.

"Hmm? Why stop? Let's finish things soon!" Wei Jiayi responded cheekily. "If their sacrifice is not enough, then just give up those who are not willing to cooperate. No need to try being a hero, I don't think it fits you. Let's just run away from here." He continued. Though he is just casually stating this, Gao Lan Mei is aware that he is not joking at all.

Gao Lan Mei snorted before speaking, "Hmp. Who told you I am trying to be a hero? I will never sacrifice life for the sake of ungrateful beings. I can still make use of this, do not worry."

Even if she did sacrifice some of her blood to create the ritual stones to help, it does not mean she will struggle to help everyone to the cause of her own life. In the end, Gao Lan Mei still likes to have the benefits.

"Good. My wife will never be on the disadvantage!" Wei Jiayi stated happily. Whatever her plan is, as long as she is fine and will not leave him, he will fully support. Much better though if all Gao Lan Mei's attention is only on him.

Then he thought something interesting. "Mei Mei, let's have another bet," Wei Jiayi offered, as he continued to sprint. He is moving so quickly but carefully, threatening Gao Lan Mei like glass as

'Another bet? The current one that we have is not even being followed correctly.' Gao Lan Mei thought with a frown as she remembers their agreement before.

"I don't want." She uttered dismissively, "Jiayi please stop for now. I need to check something important."

Wei Jiayi stopped and put Gao Lan Mei down before asking, "Why not? You did not even try to hear about it."

"Behave. Not time to play." Gao Lan Mei replied, her head looking upwards, observing the dark smoke at the other side of the feeble barrier that they have as of the moment.

'So this barrier is only for the smoke then.' Gao Lan Mei concluded then tilted her head. How much longer will it take before they pass the barrier? Do they still have time to set up her defense wall?

Gao Lan Mei spread both her hands in front of her then, looked at her open palm with utmost concentration. Her eyes brightened to red, as she carefully estimates the threads of spiritual energy coming from the stones that are supposed to be the temporary vessel of the borrowed soul fragment.
