Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 216: Ways

Wei Jiayi pulled her hand to make her stop, "Wife, where are you going? You cannot leave the mountain barefoot..." he said, voice gentle, trying to make her understand that he was only concerned about her.

With a glare, "I am used to walk barefoot and I am not leaving the mountain," she said, then continued to walk, allowing Wei Jiayi to hold her hand, too tired to bother with it.

In her previous life, she did not even have a pair of shoes because of the chain in her foot or probably she was just uncomfortable to wear one.

Wei Jiayi looked at her back, her long hair that reached her hips swayed, while she walked with urgency.

After a while of waiting for her to tell more, "Then where are you going?" he asked curiously, wondering what she had planned to do.

The toxin was still in her system. Could she cure herself? Did she know how to?

"Tsk. Can you stay away?" Gao Lan Mei asked with annoyance, "You are too noisy!" pulling her hand that he was still holding, roughly. Unsurprisingly, her effort was again wasted.

With a frown, "I cannot let you go, it's dangerous here... I will help you. Tell me what you need," Wei Jaiyi insisted looking at her firmly.

"Aside from food, I want to remove the toxin differently, since my needles are with Feng Ji!" Gao Lan Mei's eyes suddenly got teary just by remembering Feng Ji.

Adding to the fact that she was helpless with the man who was annoying, that most of the time almost drove her crazy.

Then Gao Lan Mei added, tears finally falling down on her face, "And as you can see, Feng Ji is not here!"

Why was life so hard, when you wanted to just sit back and relax? When would she get to enjoy this freedom that she had just recently acquired? In less than a week she had already encountered so many conflicts! Gao Lan Mei was not used to conflicts!

From the time that she had arrived in the mortal domain, the many incidents she had encountered were already exhausting her. Now even Feng Ji was not with her anymore.

"Shhh..." Wei Jaiyi embraced Gao Lan Mei, placing her head to lay on his shoulder, his hand running through her long hair, consoling. "I know you have a way to bring her back..." he said, also sounding sad, hoping that Gao Lan Mei really had a plan to bring Feng Ji back.

How could Gao Lan Mei continue being annoyed when he was acting like a very gentle protector?

She looked to see Wei Jiayi intently, then shook her head, that caused his handsome face to show unmasked sadness and disappointment. "Then why did you do that... There should be another way to save her..." he said, his tone with the hint of blame directed towards her.

With a frown, "I do not have a way-" Gao Lan Mei stated, covering Wei Jiayi's mouth suddenly when she saw him trying to interrupt her. "Listen first," she uttered with a glare.

Gao Lan Mei then continued after he nodded, " I have ways to bring her back. It will take a while and a lot of resources but I can do it," she said firmly, still sad for being apart from Feng Ji that way, but she did not have a choice.

"Really? I will help!" Wei Jiayi exclaimed, reaching for Gao Lan Mei for another hug, but she just moved away from him.

"The coldness from the lake helped, but the toxin is still there. Do not just touch me." Gao Lan Mei turned around after saying that.
