Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 482: Might be

"But..." Xiao Shi tried to rebut but ended up stopping in the middle of her sentence. Sung Zhi Ruo was still fighting. 

The Soul Eater got more powerful every time it swallowed a soul. Despite that, Sung Zhi Ruo was still a mortal that had limits, regardless of what Domain she came from. 

With that being said, Xiao Shi understood what Gao Lan Mei was trying to say. 

The YinYings killed a lot of their comrades. So, it was rather apparent that the surviving beings in the Shizi Empire should be kept alive.

Gao Lan Mei shook her head, "Save her and bring her here." She said with a tone that did not give Xiao Shi any room to argue further. 

"I will be back quickly. Do not do anything stupid." Xiao Shi whispered tightly. She only left, though, after glaring at the dragon and releasing a heavy sigh. 

It wasn't hard to understand why Xiao Shi made sure to remind her to 'not do anything stupid' since she had been playing with her own life since all chaos that had started. 

So what now? They could not stay there waiting, right?

'And, the best thing to do is.' Gao Lan Mei thought as she smirked while her eyes shifted to the floating cage. 

The most important for the YinYings inside the Shizi Empire was not their lives, but the being that was still sealed inside the floating cage, they badly wanted it. 

Suddenly Gao Lan Mei's eyes brightened when she thought of doing something, 'So what would happen if I decided to...'

Gao Lan Mei tried to think more, 'Indeed, that was the only way to finish this.' Gao Lan Mei realized as she smiled sadly. It was an option that she had been playing with at the back of her head since she never wanted to go back to her life of imprisonment. 

She already gave up struggling. However, at the back of her head, there was still the voice that kept on reminding her about the sacrifices that she had made so far.

Not only from the time she arrived at the Shizi Empire, but she also could not miss the sacrifices that she had collected from many beings from her previous life so she could leave her confinement. 

However, despite not wanting to give up, Gao Lan Mei knew that she could not fight anymore. 

Did she have another choice now? Probably not. Gao Lan Mei knew as well that she could not complain.  

Yet Before she could act on it, she heard a thunderous growl before a whimper. 

'You can't leave me,' Gao Lan Mei also heard someone speak within her consciousness. 

That voice came from Wei Jiayi. Her eyes immediately shifted upwards to look at the dragon.

'Right,' Gao Lan Mei thought to herself bitterly while she tried to tamper this mating that she had at that moment.  

Due to the height, she could hardly see its head. It was painful to continue looking up to confirm if it was looking at her. 

Gao Lan Mei released a heavy sigh. She then caressed the dragon's tail before leaning her head against it. "Can't promise." She said whispering. 

No mate would let his other half go. With that, Gao Lan Mei earned Wei Jiayi's fury. The spikes on its back glowed brightly, and sparks of electricity that gave Gao Lan Mei goosebumps were felt in the air. 

Just then, the huge dragon breathed fire in no particular direction. 

"You are going to hit Xiao Shi and Sung Zhi Ruo!" Gao Lan Mei screamed furiously through clenched teeth. However, the dragon continued to breathe fire now directed towards the wall of flame. 

Then with a worried expression, "What are you doing?! You're going to burn them all!" She added as Gao Lan Mei was more scared of the possibility of an explosion when the two flames would collide since the dragon's fire looked bigger than the flaming wall. 

The dragon's fire reached the protection wall from Blessed Juni. Just as Gao Lan Mei began to freak out, she realized that the flames were resulting in a bigger wall.

'Are you happy?' Wei Jiayi's asked within her consciousness.

Gao Lan Mei nodded her head.

'Everything will be alright. Trust me,' Wei Jiayi said softly like a vow. 

"..Yes. I hope so." She replied somewhat unsure. 'Was this enough?' 

'Look to the right,' He added after the dragon stopped breathing fire at the flame wall. 

Gao Lan Mei did what she was told. On the right side outside the flaming wall, she saw Xiao Shi and Sung Zhi Ruo fighting the YinYings. They did not seem to need any help. 

In fact, it would not take long for them to finish the remaining ones. Seizing upon this opportunity to be free soon, Gao Lan Mei shouted.

"Everyone, I beg of you! Give all your remaining strength to destroy the Boundary! We might get out of here alive!  We might be free soon!"

'Might be free?' Some of them thought of this, almost mockingly. In the back of their heads though, there was hope.

'Might be able to get out alive. Is that still possible?'

'Can having just one dragon to added to their fighting force be enough?' 

It was not the first time, Gao Lan Mei tried to give them hope. She had not been successful so far. 

'How about now?'

Even though there was doubt, the impact of Gao Lan Mei's simple words carried was quite incredible.

'We might live?'

'We can get out of here?'

'With just need to give all our remaining strength to destroy the Boundary spell?!'

Hope was burning in their hearts at that moment. Just as they were all ready to finally remove their doubt...
