Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

'Sister Gao, you need to wake up soon. Please.' Ma Fei Hong sent a silent plea. She also hoped that Gao Lan Mei could wake up faster if she was placed next to the barrier that she had made as she could absorb spiritual energy from it. 

Ma Fei Hong smiled helplessly. She already depended on Gao Lan Mei to save them all.  However, every time she remembered that Gao Lan Mei was the infamous waste daughter of Minister Gao, she could not help but mock those who were blind and unable to appreciate unpolished gems. 

Now, those who mocked her before were the first beings who were saved by her. 'As if. Sister Gao wants their fake praises.'

Ma Fei Hong's arms were getting numb from exhaustion; added to the fact, she used most of her spiritual energy to heal Gao Lan Mei earlier. They needed to get close to the nearest protection barrier, so they only needed to defend the front. 

Even though her physique was cultured to use impurities as a weapon, Ma Fei Hong could only externally control the impurities and was unable to use it to increase her strength. 

She was already at her limit, because of that, Ma Fei Hong was not able to dodge one of the YinYings that came close. 

A male YinYing grabbed Ma Fei Hong's shoulders. His eyes were black and soulless like hers, but she did not feel an ounce of life from the being that looked just like a moving doll.

She immediately stabbed the YinYing's head with an arrow that it passed through his head without even spilling a drop of blood. The man froze for a moment before moving again, now towards Yen Mingjue's direction. 

With another savage kick, the hound sent the YinYing flying as far as possible. "This is getting tiring!" They needed to have a greater advantage to win. 

Thus, despite them being a lot, if someone decided to fight back, they were not entirely helpless. One needed to endure the eternal battle. 

On the other hand, who would invest spiritual weapons on beings who acted like puppets? 

The only YinYing that they had seen so far that had full control of the place was the one holding an orb. "Right! We must subdue him!" Yen Mingjue exclaimed loudly. 

"Subdue who?" Ma Fei Hong asked as she fought two YinYings at a time. 

Then another YinYing jumped next to Ma Fei Hong. 

"Kill the boss!" Yen, Mingjue replied. Then he remembered something. The YinYing who was holding an orb was a wraith. Was there a way to kill a wraith while the master was alive? None! 

However, they could suppress the YinYing with another weapon without sacrificing anyone to kill an undead enemy, The Soul Eater! 

Now Yen Mingjue fully understood Gao Lan Mei's entire plan. Once Sung Zhi Ruo successfully refined the Soul Eater, Xiao Shi would be saved and they could use the forbidden weapon as an ace to defeat the YinYing that was controlling everything. 

'So reckless!' Yen Mingjue complained. Gao Lan Mei betted everything on Sung Zhi Ruo! If the woman betrayed them, everything that she worked hard for would be wasted. 

"What is going on?"Ma Fei Hong suddenly asked when she noticed something different from the attacks. It seemed that the YinYings were not planning to dispose of her. 

Her question was quickly answered, when Yen Mingjue missed one enemy from behind before he could even retaliate, the YinYing used a shortsword to cut the part of a rope that was tying Gao Lan Mei on the hound's body. It became loosened enough for her to almost fall from the hounds back. 

"Careful!" Ma Fei Hong exclaimed through clenched teeth. She immediately shot an arrow to the YinYing behind the hound. 

"Shit! They want her!"Yen Mingjue felt dread as Ma Fei Hong did not have time to arrange the rope that was keeping Gao Lan Mei on his back. 

Why were they not trying to get back the prism? Why Gao Lan Mei? 

The enemy's continued attacks were the distractions for Ma Fei Hong and Yen Mingjue so they could grab Gao Lan Mei. 

It did not take long for them to grab her and take her away from them successfully. 

It was so chaotic that Yen Mingjue didn't care about who to attack anymore. He used the hound's broad head and strong jaw to continue fighting his way towards the direction where the Gao Lan Mei was taken. 

It was so frustrating for him as he felt so helpless. He was ready to break a rule for gods when the place where the YinYing that took Gao Lan Mei was suddenly surrounded with fire, burning everything around it.
