Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

"Aren't you bothersome as always? Give her to me before you end up sleeping again." Fa Liwei said with a tilted head.

Wei Jiayi growled with contempt, sending flame in Fa Liwei's direction. His other arm holding Gao Lan Mei close, while the other held his sword. 

He was alert, all senses fully heightened, and he was also fighting his inner beast, who wanted to come out and kill the enemies badly. Wei Jiayi was soon to fight a losing battle, with his self. 

Regardless, right now he needed to focus on the enemy in front of him, while his back was exposed to YinYings who were still fighting Sung Zhi Ruo. 

'Buzz!' 

An incoming attack that Wei Jiayi dodged effortlessly. 

"Ah!!" Someone screamed behind Wei Jiayi, causing him to take a glance. 

Wei Jiayi gritted his teeth and glared murderously at Fa Liwei, as behind him was an ice barrier that had two cultivators in it. 

However, after the attack, the cultivators no longer stood where the attack had flown past. Only the pairs of ownerless ankles could be seen now.

"That's my second warning to you. Do not waste my time." Fa Liwei stated his black eyes looking at Wei Jiayi intently. 

Sung Zhi Ruo expression crumpled as well. As expected, the YinYing with the orb could quickly finish them off if they felt like it. It'd be easier than stepping on squirming bugs, actually.

'If that's the case, then… Why hadn't it?' Sung Zhi Ruo thought while defending herself against the other YinYings. 

The enemies could kill them, yet they hadn't done that. Now they wanted Gao Lan Mei, while Concubine Li was absorbing the Impurities. 

If they were not killing them, then it only meant one thing. For Sung Zhi Ruo, it looked like they needed Gao Lan Mei. If that was the case, then, they did not need to live. 

Why was Fa Liwei not killing her or Wei Jiayi? 

'Stupid. You are all food that they play before eating completely. Especially that woman,' An eerie voice suddenly spoke inside Sung Zhi Ruo consciousness, that made her stiffen. 

'Soul Eater?' She asked, but no one responded. "Wei Jiayi do not let them get Gao Lan Mei!" Sung Zhi Ruo screamed instead. 

"Never!" Wei Jiayi shouted back as he looked at Fa Liwei with contempt. He then held Gao Lan Mei closer, making her face him. 

Wei Jiayi looked at her moving eyes to confirm that she was still alive before he leaned towards her shoulders and bit her neck. 

"No!' Concubine Li stopped from absorbing the Impure energy. She jumped toward Wei Jiayi and Gao Lan Mei. Then summoned her spear and tried to stab Gao Lan Mei from behind. 

Wei Jiayi's moved his hand quickly and allowed it to be stabbed instead. The pain on his side was not enough to remove the delightful taste of blood in his mouth. 'I'm sorry for not asking for your permission first… but it was the only way I could keep you safe…' He thought silently.

Knowing that their most significant sacrifice will be mixed with another blood, Fa Liwei also took action and did not let Wei Jiayi continue his plan. 

'Buzz!' 

He sent another beam of light in Wei Jiayi's direction. Anticipating that the attack would be dodged, Fa Liwei suddenly appeared behind Wei Jiayi and stabbed him in the back. 

The dragon scales were there to protect him, but still not enough to completely stop a very high tier spiritual sword from penetrating his skin. 

Wei Jiayi got stabbed, but he was still not letting go of Gao Lan Mei's neck. The smell of blood coming out from her was enough to confirm that he was close to completing his mating mark, that would seal the deal by making her forever his.

His mating mark was supposed to be accepted by Gao Lan Mei verbally, and it should have been given in a better setting. Too bad that was the case for him at that moment. 

There was another thing; he was not aware of why Concubine Li was acting differently. Wei Jiayi did not care though as at that moment, all he could think of was the mating mark, stabilizing itself. 

He did not even care when the painful sting intensified at his back. Wei Jiayi held Gao Lan Mei who softly groaned close. 

She was getting better, but he was getting weaker. The desire to drink some more of her blood was getting stronger, and he knew that he needed to let go as soon as possible. 

'Come on, a little bit more,' He stated to himself as he channelled his energy to Gao Lan Mei, to heal her slowly. Since he already marked her, this was easier. 

 "Tsk, tsk. You are ruining everything," Fa Liwei stated unhappily with clenched fists and pulled out his sword from Wei Jiayi's back. 

Wei Jiayi jaw was clamped on Gao Lan Mei's neck firmly, and if Fa Liwei tried to pull him away forcefully, there was a high chance that a chunk of her neck would also be taken away and would immediately cause her death. 

That was not the plan! Even Concubine Li knew this as well, and all she could do was look at Wei Jiayi and Gao Lan Mei forming their mating bond with contempt. 

'I'm sorry brother. You need to get your own food!' Concubine Li thought in annoyance. She decided to take care of Gao Lan Mei and Wei Jiayi as soon as her spiritual energy was at its peak.

The final seal could be unlocked if certain conditions were met: First, an ample amount of sacrificed souls. The higher the cultivation, the better. 

Second, spiritual energy condensed from the purification prism. Anyone who died from it would be added to the first requirement.
