Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 198: Asking for forgiveness

Feng Ji closed her eyes and leaned on Gao Lan Mei, not uttering anything, showing her full trust to her master. 

Despite her mind already being clouded by the impurities, Feng Ji still trusted Gao Lan Mei wholeheartedly. Her loyalty was stronger than any emotion that she had at that moment. 

"Mei Mei, why?" Wei Jiayi could barely speak. Even if Feng Ji wanted to take Gao Lan Mei away, the sparrow was still a very good friend, his only companion when he was getting better in the Void Forest.

The beast confidence, and playful nature, he won't be able to see it again. 

Gao Lan Mei could only shake her head, she uttered softly while crying, "A creation from my own flesh and blood, take the honor to be back to where you originally came from." 

After saying this softly and to everyone's surprise, she started eating the still beating bloody heart. She slowly gobbled the heart until none was left. 

Gao Lan Mei felt the burning in her throat to her stomach, that was slowly digesting the flesh that she had just taken, absorbing the life force. 

Even Wei Jiayi had no idea what was going on. Gao Lan Mei seemed to be doing a ritual of which he had never heard before. He just couldn't believe that as a master she chose to give up on saving Feng Ji. 

With her bloody mouth, Gao Lan Mei hugged Feng Ji's cold body, she then looked at Wei Jiayi intently with teary eyes, "I am sorry that I got so greedy for wanting so much power immediately... To the extent of ignoring the limit and hurting those around me..."

Pausing for a moment, Gao Lan Mei then looked at the sky, "I am sorry for wanting too much even if it was not for me... Please forgive me! Forgive me!" Recognizing her faults, she asked for a reprieve. 

The purification pentagram started to emit a very bright light that those around could not help but cover their eyes. 

Even those who formed the pentagram closed their eyes to allow the purification to finish.

"Ah!" Gao Lan Mei screamed in pain, because of the burning feeling the light was giving her. 

The light was actually trying to dissolve all impurities that she still had even from within her very bones. 

This also caused her spiritual points to burn from exhaustion, due to the drastic changes that were happening to her body. 

With Gao Lan Mei affirmation of penitence, the full extent of the purification pentagram was now used, completely removing all impure energy. 

When the bright light disappeared with the pentagram, Gao Lan Mei was still catching her breath but she felt already back to normal, better.

However, Feng Ji's blood was still on her, on her face. Her robes were still dirty from mud and dried blood as well. 

Wei Jiayi immediately moved to approach her,  crouching down, to check on Gao Lan Mei, both hands holding her face looking at her intently. Then he sadly gazed at Feng Ji who Gao Lan Mei was still holding in her arms. 

"Why? You did not give me a chance." Shaking his head, he silently whispered, "I do not have the right to question you but why did you choose to do this?" Wei Jiayi sat on the ground across Gao Lan Mei, his voice purely anguished. 

"You couldn't save her." Gao Lan Mei said firmly lowering her head, "She was not a beast or a being." Then added sadly. 

She lifted her hand, gesturing for Wei Jiayi to hold Feng Ji, "I am sorry, can you keep her for me. I will fix this." Gao Lan Mei said tiredly but with determination, she vowed from her heart that she will do all means possible to revive Feng Ji before she lost her consciousness.
