Chapter 96
The room is almost bare, one can only count the number of things with both hands.
It has a large bed with black bed sheets, antique black large cabinet a large chest at the corner of the room and a small table.
The room walls are decorated with carved ancient runes as well that makes it looked elegant, especially the heavy stone door, that have colored hieroglyphics combined with the runes that can ward off evil and for protection.
The window is also large, that is being covered by a white laced with gold drapes from the ceiling to the floor. The fabric looks so heavy, but it still allows the light from the outside to enter the room enough to brighten the place.
For Gao Lan Mei, it is very interesting magic to make the underwater temple brighten like there is sun in the place, just like her prison all the things there are artificial. Except for the treasures that was collected through the years of its existence.
Covering the large bed is black thick blanket, and there are no pillows anywhere. Next to bed is a small marbled table with a scroll on top
The lamp next to the scroll is round gold and crystal that's bigger than a adults head.
How the lamp emits the blue light, Gao Lan Mei is curious so she moved towards it, but was stopped when his strong arm hugged her from behind.
What he did made her stiffened, her heart that has not yet completely recovered from his earlier contact, now beats so fast like it want to get out from her.
"Do not move yet. Your going to wet the floor." His voice hoa.r.s.e, but with a soft tone and sound like aching. Like he being restrained.
Frowning, "Can you use magic to dry my dress?" She asked, while trying to escape his strong arms around her waist. 'What's with this situation. He keeps on touching me!'
"Can you release me?" She asked with hint of annoyance.
"I can, but I do not want too... " he said softly. He placed his chin on top of her head. Continuing after releasing a deep breath, "This is your dream, your desire, I am a product of it. My wants is your wants, regardless how hidden it is." He said.
Shaking her head, "My wants? I do not want to be with you." She said firmly. His grip tightened then relaxed.
"If you do not want me, then why am I here?" He asked with an indifferent tone, "think about it from the bottom of your heart." Then he released her and went to sit on the side of the bed where the table is, then he just looked at window covered with drapes.
Sitting alone in the bed makes him look so lonely. The black armor that he wears matches the bed cover. He's like a lost puppy that was bullied by a cat.
'Why is he here?' Gao Lan Mei does not know and does not understand. However regardless of the reason, this is her dream, her inner desires or demons.
Fa Li surely will not get involve with her dream, right?
She walked towards the bed and sit beside him, "I really do not want to be with you, or rather I should not be with you." She said not looking at him, and just stared the window.
