Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

"Aye master." Xiao Shi immediately. The strong spiritual energy burst out from inside her body, that immediately gave the eerie feeling of death. 

Xiao Shi's aura spread so far that it even reached outside the palace, affecting everything in its path. If not for Yen Mingjue's cover for Gao Lan Mei, she would also be hit by the spiritual blast.

After it spread, Xiao Shi's death aura returned to her quickly, enveloping her with a whirlwind of fluctuating mist, slowly penetrating her skin.

Everyone could see Xiao Shi's appearance changed. From a bloodthirsty girl that had not yet reached puberty, her appearance change to a full-blossomed woman with long red hair, eyes so black that they looked soulless on a pale face that could not be used by anyone to say that she is weak. 

She was now wearing a grey fitted armour that stuck like a second skin, not leaving much to the imagination. 

Zhao Liwei tried to move closer but before he could even do so, Xiao Shi had already disappeared from her initial place. 

"Bang!" The loud sound of the ground being hit by an explosion, dust all over the area concealing the one who caused it. Rubble of stone even splattered all over the place. 

When the dust lessened, it allowed everyone to see Xiao Shi attacking a YinYing with a spear. The other than using his orb and a sword to defend and attack. 

Xiao Shi dodged then attacked, using her range to her advantage, pushing back the YinYing. 

"Xiao Shi!" Zhao Liwei woke from his dazed confusion, and by instinct, he jumped to go next to Xiao Shi but his foot was grabbed by Wei Jiayi before he could get even farther. 

"You will just distract her!" Wei Jiayi exclaimed. Until now, he was pretty sure Zhao Liwei had still not accepted the fact that Xiao Shi, his mate was a wraith. 

No one else could disturb or get close to the fight between wraiths. Not only because of the collision of spiritual energy whenever their weapons hit but because they would also pretty surely be useless. 

Xiao Shi ignored her injury and sent a blast to the YinYing to push him away, enough for her spear's turn to draw blood. "Despicable." She stated deadly. 

Wraiths were servants of gods and even they fear one thing. Death! 

She was a proud wraith of a death god, even if her contract finished, Xiao Shi would still serve Yen Mingjue!

The wound on her back immediately closed up, but the armour did not magically fix itself, which clearly exposed the white skin of her back. 

"Xiao Mei, we do not have much time. Finish the ritual!" Yen Mingjue exclaimed. It would always be an evil battle for wraiths, thus the only thing Xiao Shi could do was to buy them time. 

He was also sure that there were other YinYings outside the palace. Yen Mingjue was considering the possibility of the others not being able to make it, regardless if they were from the Immortal Domain or the Justice Affairs. 

Gao Lan Mei could clearly understand what Yen Mingjue wanted to happen but it was not that easy. She was already absorbing too much spiritual energy, but she needed more!
