Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

"Nothing! Stupid third uncle!" remembering what happened, her face turned red again. Adding, "Three commands! First one, you are not allowed to ask me regarding that!" it's a waste of a bet, but Gao Lan Mei did not care, as long as Gao Shen stopped bothering about this.

Everyone also thought it's a wasted command, making some of them snicker. Fa Li could not help himself and burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Sorry, we will avoid asking about it. The way you react though piques our curiosity and makes me wonder…" he scratched his chin in wonder.

"Do not even wonder it!" Not wanting to hear more of their teasing, she hurriedly left, like a child stomping her foot. Making her more upset when she heard them laughing at her expense.

'I will get the rest of my reward later, wife.' His parting words.

Something's wrong. She wanted to seek the prince and demand an explanation but thought otherwise. How could she start explaining this? What if he just denied it? It's pretty impossible for him to manipulate the Eye of Meng anywhere. Feng Ji would tell her if he was near.

"Miss… What's wrong? Is something wrong with your body?" Feng Ji asked concerningly as Gao Lan Mei's consciousness entered a treasure. Who knew if there was any side effect on the body that Gao Lan Mei was currently occupying. 

All that Feng Ji could do was get Gao Lan Mei's attention while standing on her head. Gao Lan Mei did not answer even when they arrived at her room. The door that was destroyed during the time with the assassins was now fixed.  

"It's fine. It is not a big deal." Gao Lan Mei answered. The sparrow could feel her feelings and that moment she was feeling confused. She then decided that there was no use feeling that way. 'True or not, just treat it as fake.' Gao Lan Mei thoughts that were also heard by Feng Ji. 

Feng Ji was still concerned, as the sparrow was assuming that Gao Lan Mei was talking about the body her soul was occupying. 

So Feng Ji could just agree. 'That was correct, there was no use distinguishing real from fake.' The sparrow would never think that Gao Lan Mei was talking about what the being that looked almost exactly like Prince Wei had said earlier inside the Eye of Meng. 

Just like her master's current physical form. The real body was left in that place, and now, the fake body was still could also be the real one. 

How could one distinguish? Just don't differentiate it because its little head was having a hard time thinking too. 

Feng Ji still felt bad though, which made it hungry. It did not like to be hungry. "Miss do not worry. You are right. Just do not differentiate. It was a waste of time." 

Gao Lan Mei hummed in agreement. "Yes, it was really a waste of time. There were more important things to do like, cultivate." She replied. 

Feng Ji brightened because Gao Lan Mei agreed, then nodding its sparrow head, "You got a good treasure to miss. So no need to worry about this. We will leave the Shizi Empire soon right?"

"Yes. We will leave the empire when the Liqi Patriarch arrives." she said firmly, then frowned, "What do you mean about the new treasure?" she asked with confusion.

Before answering, the Feng Ji flew to the ground, her storage vortex appeared in front of her head, trying to spill out an object which Gao Lan Mei was familiar with.

"Isn't this the Eye of Meng in the dream?" she asked surprised. Picking up the gold crystal lantern  that did not emit any light at that moment.

The lantern was exactly like what he gave her before… Shaking her head to forget. Trying to focus instead on the gold crystal lantern. Her fingers touching the intricately written runes on the bottom layer of it.

For some reason, even though she did not understand what the Runes meant, touching them made her feel a strange warmth.
