Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 456: Finally Awake

"Ah!" Ma Fei Hong screamed due to the burning pain and intense pressure she suddenly felt which alarmed her. It was coming from the storage ring on Ma Fei Hong's middle finger. 

"What is that? What's wrong with you?" Yen Mingjue asked concerned feeling the thickness of the spiritual energy around Ma Fei Hong. 

He almost subconsciously allowed his vessel, the hound to step back. It was a very familiar pressure, but he did not understand it. Even his real physical form wanted to stay away from it.

'What is this?' Yen Mingjue asked himself as he felt like he had felt it before, but could not remember where. 

Wei Jiayi and Zhao Liwei glanced at her, in confusion as well, feeling the same caution that Yen Mingjue felt.  

Protecting Gao Lan Mei was Wei Jiayi's priority above all other things. Thus the moment he felt the uncomfortable force, he'd already stepped back in high alert. 

"What do you think is going on with you?" Wei Jiayi asked honestly. 

Ma Fei Hong was more than aware that what was inside the storage ring was something significant. A sacrificial cage in the form of a prism. 

Through gritted teeth, Ma Fei Hong showed them her hand, wearing a storage ring. The intense scary spiritual energy coming from it was making her knees weak as well. "Something is wrong with the prism." 

There was no helping it though as the burning pain continued and she could already see her skin at the rims of the storage ring bleeding. Ma Fei Hong silently clenched teeth to endure the pain as she used her consciousness to check the inside of the ring. 

Just like she'd guessed, something was happening to the prism inside it and the heat coming from it was enough to melt all the other things inside her storage ring including her treasures. 

"Endure. We cannot have you flaunting it."Yen Mingjue reminded. He wanted to encounter as many YinYings as possible while Gao Lan Mei was still asleep. 

Ma Fei Hong, of course, understood that however her concern was not her own. She worriedly looked at Gao Lan Mei as her storage also had a prism. 

Following the deacon's gaze, they also discovered that something was wrong with Gao Lan Mei."She also has one?!" Wei Jiayi asked in frustration. 

Unlike Ma Fei Hong who's ring had turned into hot like molten steel, Gao Lan Mei's was now dyed black that spread very slowly from her ring finger to beyond her hand. 

Wei Jiayi immediately acted and tried to take off the ring from Gao Lan Mei's finger. "Mei Mie, I'm sorry."He whispered before forcefully trying to remove the ring until her finger bled but was unsuccessful. 

"It's stuck!"Wei Jiayi declared. 

"Noisy." Gao Lan Mei's soft voice was heard. She was currently lying on Wei Jiayi's chest as he struggled to remove the ring. 

"You're finally awake!"

"Hmm. So many wandering souls."She responded weakly staring at the space above Ma Fei Hong's head. Gao Lan Mei then tried to get up. 

"Huh?"Ma Fei Hong raised her head to look up despite her clear discomfort. She did not see anything strange. 

Gao Lan Mei said dazed, "Many fireballs dancing. All colors, so pretty."She sounded like someone who was sleep-talking. 

"Mei Mei, look at me." Wei Jiayi demanded, when Gao Lan Mei did not even glance at him, he raised her hand that was turning black so she could see it. "I want you to release the prism inside the ring, now." He'd tried earlier, but something was stopping him from even seeing what was inside. 

Unlike Ma Fei Hong where they could blatantly feel the strength coming from prism, in Gao Lan Mei's case, it was there, but it's like a shadow that hid silently.  

"No."Gao Lan Mei shook her head before pushing herself away from Wei Jiayi who did not let her. 

Aggravated, "You have to! Release the prism or I will cut your arm!" He threatened. Wei Jiayi also considered doing the same with Ma Fei Hong, but he doubted that it would work with the strong spiritual energy surrounding her. 

He already noticed that Ma Fei Hong might be in extreme pain, but the wounds that she had gotten from the earlier fights were slowly disappearing. He did not have time to worry about the deacon though, as Gao Lan Mei was acting strange. 

Gao Lan Mei allowed Wei Jiayi to restrict her movement as she looked around. The more she looked the more her expression hardened. 

"Ok. Cut my arm."
