Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Inside the Shizi Empire gate… 

"This damn girl! Does she have another plan?" Yen Mingjue complained as he dodged the YinYings attack on him while trying to balance Gao Lan Mei that was currently unconscious on his back. 

Gao Lan Mei's plan was simple. Since she could not maintain the Cuojue's form any longer keeping them all inside, she decided to concentrate the remaining stealth form to protect Sung Zhi Ruo. At that time as well, the Sung Miss was still struggling to refine the Soul Eater. 

Yen Mingjue hoped that despite Sung Zhi Ruo being left alone, she would not stop refining midway and use the Cuojue as an exchange for her safety. 

He could still agree that her choice was the best at that time. They had hidden cards, while the rest distracted the enemies. 

Sadly, the moment they'd left the protection space of Cuojue, they realized that the enemies had already surrounded them and were all waiting to ambush them. 

YinYings probably found their location at the time the Cuojue space showed cracks allowing the black smoke to come inside. 

'When is this inconvenience going to end?' Yen Mingjue complained to no one in particular.

 If he was only in the Mortal Domain physically, everything would have already been taken care of. Too bad, gods were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of mortals directly. 

That was the exact reason gods had chosen to create their vessels in the form of Wraiths and Keepers. 

He had other abilities like possessing creatures with affinity to his natural domain that other gods could not do, and Yen Mingjue was very proud of that fact. 

Still, his meager vessel lasted long against the YinYings. How much longer would it be before his luck ran out?  At least, Ma Fei Hong had decided to help him protect Gao Lan Mei. 

They did not know how much time Gao Lan Mei needed before she woke up. He only knew that the main reason she chose to do so despite her body being almost a waste and unable to use spiritual energy at all was because of the protective barrier that was currently still set up around the city. 

It seemed that despite the failed plan of purging all YinYings, there were still uses to the protection spell; well, this barrier.  Their next objective was to scatter. 

They knew that the YinYings plan was halted because of them as they needed to get a hold of the prisms to be able to finish their unsealing ritual. 

Where were the prisms then? Of course, they were not the only ones who had one. They would also not make the YinYing's life easier despite them already invited for the chase. 

Still, even though the YinYings were chasing the others, there were a bunch of enemies behind them. "Why does it feel like, they have multiplied too quickly." He asked loudly, as KaiKai's massive paw sent a YinYing flying away. 

Even if the hound did have a claw, which could be used to cut an enemy in half, it would still be a never-ending battle.  

If not because of the black smoke that consistently supplied the YinYings with impure spiritual energy, the task of killing them would be faster. 

How many times could one enemy regenerate? 

Then added to the fact that if they got unlucky, and the unsealing was somehow completed, they would face another strong enemy. 

"Gao Lan Mei, oy! You can wake up any second now!" Yen Mingjue said. 

"She will wake up when it is time for her to wake up." Ma Fei Hong commented to him as she savagely fought the enemies with a bow and arrows made of impurities. 

Yen Mingjue appreciated the fact that Ma Fei Hong still chose to protect Gao Lan Mei and his hound form, even after dropping the bomb of not being able to reincarnate. 

It seemed that the Deacon became even fiercer as she fought the enemies. She was probably just releasing her frustrations. 

"I hope your arrows and strength to keep shooting them is never-ending as well." Yen Mingjue replied. His hound form was jumping towards the back of an abandoned house. 

They were not running aimlessly. They were hoping to reach the palace and use its hidden passage to their advantage. 

Gao Lan Mei made sure to sealed the central chamber so that no impurities could get in. She also knew that those who were injured were there. 

If Yen Mingjue did not know Gao Lan Mei from before, he would think that she wanted to check on Wei Jiayi and make sure that he was still alive.
