Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Gao Lan Mei's brows furrowed, "Xiao Meimei?" That's a strange term if referring to her. But it did not sound too bad.

A chuckle came out from the snake, "You did not have a name before. My wife called you Xiao Xiao before, you remember?"

Remembering his love made her sad and regretful, but she would never lose hope. If Xiao Meimei could do it, there was a possibility for them to meet again.

Feeling the snake's sour atmosphere again, Gao Lan Mei shook her head. This fellow tried to enjoy the Dakinis love to forget but it did not help.

How long would it take for him to realize that it's useless before he decided to do something more worthwhile?

"Well, you can call me that, if you want. Just do not call me a little bad demon like before." She whispered under her breath.

"Aren't going to feed my pawn snake?" Yen Mìngjué suddenly asked. He remembered that they had been talking for a while now, but Gao Lan Mei had not shown any hospitality.

Frowning, "This pawn eats?" Pawns were like puppet creatures. Why would they eat? She did not like the idea of sharing her food with an artificial creature. What a waste.

"Of course. My pawn is like any normal beast." Yen Mìngjué proudly said. Since he had made the pawn, for him it was beneficial if acted like other normal beasts.

Gao Lan Mei snorted, "So inconvenient. I do not want to. Go away."

"…" Yen Mìngjué thoughts. There it was. Her glutton personality was back. He was sure that Gao Lan Mei just did not want to share her food.

"Never mind your pawn. I need it to do something for me." Gao Lan Mei suddenly mentioned.

"…" He lips twitched, wanting to blurt out that she did not even want to give the pitiful snake any food, but she wanted it to run errands. So, offensive!

"What is it?" He finally said in the end giving up on arguing.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, "A book with steps on how to court. The one for romantic courting."

"How to court? What for?" For Yen Mìngjué, that was a very strange request from Gao Lan Mei.

Still focused on her food, "For me."

Yen Mìngjué was dumbfounded, "Huh? Why for you?" He asked tensely.

"Need it for double repair." Then she focused once more on her food.

Eh? Did I hear that correctly? "You… You… Are you even aware of what you are talking about?" He was pretty sure that Gao Lan Mei had never had a lover in her previous life, so how could she say this while eating?

Nodding her head, forgetting that she was speaking to a pawn that could only connect the owner's voice, and that only when the pawn returned to the owner would the visual be collected.

"I will count your silence as a yes." It was awkward for him to talk to her about this.

Releasing a deep breath then shaking his head, he could only think, 'Ah, girls grow up so fast.'

Gao Manor, Master's Courtyard

Almosteveryone was asleep. The only sound that could be heard outside was the hum of the small night beasts.

The cold night breeze also made a smooth sound that passed through every corner of the Manor.

Despite the lull of the wind, the night guards stationed were still alert, ready for an intruder.

They were doing a good job but still failed to notice the seven shadows that were able to pass through the Gao Manor.
