Chapter 98
Gao Lan Mei is not sure when her dress and hair was dried. Probably he did it earlier since for some reason she cannot use any spiritual energy or magic at that moment.
Nodding, then ignoring him mentioning about the husband part, "Fair enough. You can have any treasure you want as long as I can give it."
"Its the only thing you have right now actually aside from your dress." then adding, "Ah, we cannot really consider the chain a treasure despite it being unbreakable."
Then remembering something, "Would you like to know why the Eye of Meng was made?" he mentioned.
"Why it was made?" she curiously asked. There is no record on the books why it was made and who made it. The books just describe what it can do. Control desires. To dream of happiness or to have a nightmare.
Looking at her intently, "The master that made the Eye of Meng wants to see a woman very badly. He created the orb to give himself a chance to meet her even if its only in dreams." he said thoughtfully.
"Was he successful?" an effort like
Looking meaningfully, "Yes, he did." then smiled widely at her.
"Where is it now?" she asked. The orb should be around for this man to tell her a lot of things about it, that she is not even aware of. Is this included in the magic from the Eye of Meng?
"You're not backing out of the reward are you?" he asked skeptically, like unsure if he is being lied to or not.
Nodding seriously, "As long as I have it and it will not cause any harm, I will give you anything you want." she said firmly. This is a dream, hers to be exact. So what could go wrong?
"Good. I believe you, wife," he said brightly. He then picked the gold crystal lantern, "This is it."
Blue light emits from the lamp, but it's somehow different because of the pattern on it that now changed every second. One second it's showing a running lion, next, flying birds and so on. Just like the one Fa Li has.
Gao Lan Mei reached for it, but it was raised above his head, arms stretched for her not to be to grab it.
Glaring at him, "Are you making fun of me?" with eyes that could kill if possible.
"You want to badly leave without giving me anything?" he asked, tone hurt.
His other arm reached to pull her on the waist into him quickly. Before she could even react, his lips met hers on a lingering kiss.
The way he kissed is dominating and possessive. Demanding. She wanted to fight and to deliberately bite him, but before she can take action, he already released her.
"I will get the rest of my reward later, wife." his wolfish grin makes him more handsome. Gao Lan Mei should have noticed, but she was too dazed.
She did not even know when the lamp was placed in her hand, then the tingling current on her consciousness appeared, just like the first time she used the Eye of Meng.
He was looking at her at that time, with strange emotions lurking in his silver eyes, like he does not want to let her leave, the next moment, she was back at the Gao Master courtyard.
