Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Gao Lan Mei roughly tilted her head from side to side, popping her strained muscles. 

She even stretched her arms upward and yawned, like a serene cat who just woke up. 

If not from the blood and dirt on her body, as well as the wicked smile and glint, she had on her face, everyone would think she was harmless. 

She slowly walked to where Ming Ya was, who was now desperately trying to grab anyone. 

Li Shao knew when the time came to give up. He had a strong hunch that they will not be leaving soon, reinforcement was surely going to arrive.

Everyone else was also able to feel the deadly spiritual energy from Gao Lan Mei. Even those shadow guards were anxious to approach. 

Li Shao would rather value his life than a couple of gold coins that he could earn in the future. 

Smirking evilly, "Ah, ah, changed mind. I will just kill anyone who fights back." Gao Lan Mei said, both her hands started coating with red spiritual energy.

"Gonna start from her of course." Gao Lan Mei said, conversationally. 

"No! No! Help me!" Ming Ya screamed on top of her lungs. Though weak she mussed up all her strength to stand up and grab the nearest missionary, who was, unfortunately, Li Shao. 

Gritting his teeth, "Miss we did not kill anyone. If you just need this woman, we will gladly give her to you." Li Shao knew,  his choice was cowardly. 

"Li Shao! You are despicable! You were a coward since before. " One of the mercenaries shouted with condemning. 

'Heh. I am despicable for saving your lives?' Li Shao shook his head and smiled knowingly. A keeper who was using a cultivation method that he had never seen before, anyone who understood should stay away. 

Couldn't the rest of the people smell the rotten scent of death around the bloody woman? Even if they couldn't smell, just the atmosphere around her was so different that even her supposed allies were afraid to approach. 

"Good! I will pay you greatly once you kill that woman. " Ming Ya pushed Li Shao roughly and moved to the missionary who stood up to fight. 

For Ming Ya, there was no way for the bloody woman against almost all missionaries.

Its eyes so big were trying to get its mistress attention, it crouched low, wagging its tail, asking for praise. 

Gao Lan Mei attempted to lift her hand to the hound, intending to reach its head but changed her mind, "Good job, you did not kill anyone because I told you so, right?" she said instead. 

The wickedness on her face faded for a moment, but immediately returned after looking at them, then uttering, "You now can kill anyone who moves to attack." she said to the hound-like she was talking to a person. 

"Wangfei! We will protect you as well!" One of the female shadow guards exclaimed and then made sure to stand in front of Gao Lan Mei to protect. 

They had already failed their task earlier, causing for Gao Lan Mei to get hurt. 

When the master had summoned them, they already concluded that their Wangfei was only disguised as a male merchant. If not why would Wei Jiayi summon them?

Even though the master told them that they were not allowed into the courtyard, they should have prioritized protecting Gao Lan Mei since earlier. 

Now, they could only swallow their shame and make sure not to commit the same mistake again. 

"Heh, Wangfei?" Gao Lan Mei grinned, liking the title but still upset at the same time, "That woman said she is Wei Jiayi's wife, so she is your Wangfei!" she pointed at Ming Ya furiously.
