Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 72: Let's continue

If Feng Ji stayed to serve Gao Lan Mei as her new master, even though he prefers otherwise, Wei Jiayi might need to tolerate the woman. 

He still wondered why the sparrow was here. Where was Feng Ji's original owner? 

"You're too tall." Feng Ji said unhappily as she looked up to Wei Jiayi. After shaking her head, wings suddenly appeared on her back, lifting herself up to reach his hair to clean the bird poop.

Wei Jiayi stiffened as he looked Feng Ji's current appearance. He was feeling nostalgic with how Feng Ji looked at that moment. Bloody red hair, eyes, and robes. The wings looked like a hawk's instead of a sparrow's.

The only thing missing was the crow pawn staying on her shoulder, just like the time he met the sparrow years ago.

He also could not help but feel sad. 'Can't you recognize even my aura at all?' He asked himself silently. 

Those near them moved away, except for Gao Lan Mei, who observed Wei Jiayi's expression.

She was still trying to learn to read someone's thoughts or feelings through facial expression, body language and among other hints.

Right now, looking at the prince, she could tell there were no romantic thoughts being shown to Feng Ji.

After a while, "Done." Feng Ji said, feeling satisfied. She landed on the ground and tacked her wings.

"Good job," Wei Jiayi said, then gave Feng Ji a small rose designed poach from his sleeves.

With Gao Lan Mei's permission, Feng Ji accepted and opened the poach. To her delight it contained candies!

Her face brightened, "You seem better now. I will forgive for the last time because of this." Seriously telling Wei Jiayi. Feng Ji was referring to the incident at the Medical Pavilion.

That time, she already had animosity for the man, but the miss needed his herbs so, Feng Ji tried to be civil.

Wei Jiayi just smiled at that, "Let's continue. We do not have the whole day." He glanced at Gao Lan Mei, who still followed from the back.

The walk did not take long before they arrived at the storage house. The place was being guarded as well, by Zicuy Regime Protectors.

Before they went inside, Wei Jiayi's guard placed the chest down and opened it. As soon as they did, a pleasant scent of rose was emitted from the chest.

If one went closer, one would see a purple rose that emitted smoke around it. The petals also had a strange luster, making anyone unable to resist touching it.

The purple rose herb was as high as Gao Lan Mei's waist. Seeing, that Feng Ji was interested to come closer, "Not yet." This was an enchanter herb. Meaning it was like any spiritual beast with consciousness.

It would increase rank and give more benefits to its chosen owner. The Purple Rose herb owned by Wei Jiayi was still in the lower rank, but still, he was the only one who could command it.

Everyone else would just be entranced by the Purple Rose herb not knowing how dangerous it was to touch it. As it was a rose, there were thorns on it.

For this rose, the thorns were the smoke coming out from it that were poisonous, that was why a special storage chest must be used to contain it.

Wei Jiayi made a motion using his hand for Gao Lan Mei to move closer to the Purple Rose herb chest, "You know how this works right?"

With a nod, "Yes." Giving her hand to him, he pulled out a dagger and made a small slash on her palm.

He held her dainty wrist, to keep the blood flowing out from the wounded palm as it went directly to the herb.
