Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 93: Bad Dream

"Are you ignoring me?" The male voice asked threateningly. His voice so near and hoarse, like he seldom talked. Gao Lan Mei bit her lower lip as she endured shivering because of his warm breath that was caressing her ear. 

Gao Lan Mei shook her head in denial. Some of her silver strands moved in front of her face to cover it while she kept her eyes on the ground pretending to be docile.

"Look at me!" He yelled before his both hands, held the sides of her face suddenly as he yanked up her head, forcing her to look at the man who was now hunched over in front of her.

She was greeted with sharp piercing silver eyes, a proud nose, strong jaws, and prominent cheekbones. The long black hair was tied up behind his head cleanly to not hinder any movement. He had a small black hoop earring in his right ear.

The full black armor he wore gave him an air of danger that would make anyone feel anxious about approaching him. Gao Lan Mei did not have an idea what it's made off, but she could feel that the armor was sturdy and did more than just protecting. 

'Was it made of meteor iron casted with protection spell?' Gao Lan Mei though since she could feel magic from it. 

The armor covered him from neck to arm ending at his tall black boots. On his hip hung a purple rolled up whip with spikes. She could only imagine the pain the whip would cause if it hit someone.

The armor fit him like a second skin, emphasizing his proud muscular physique that could easily tower over her if they were standing at that moment.

All these details, Gao Lan Mei noticed in a swift glance. Why? Because she wanted to know why the man she wanted to get away from was now in this dream. She'd already decided to stay away from him, the plans that she had so far were already in place for her not to encounter him again while she was the Shizi Empire.

The man in front of her was different and the same as well. Except for the eye color and the attire, everything else looked like him. His domineering presence that no one could ignore especially with his air of authority and handsome face that seemed to be carved by the gods.

While she stared, he also did the same, "Enjoying the view?" His arrogant tone snapped Gao Lan Mei from her daze, then her eyes narrowed at him.

Was this a good dream or a bad dream? Probably a bad dream because it's annoying her and so far, there was nothing in this dream that made her feel like wanting to stay. A tickling feeling that she was being made fun off surfaced.

She decided not to speak and instead just looked at him blankly while her mind drifted to something else. It's a bet to concentrate instead on where to find the orb.

Then she looked around for clues. Since the Eye of Meng allowed her to enter the temple, this would be the battleground.

While she was thinking of this, she was suddenly grabbed and lifted up to feel her view turning upside down! His arm was gripping her waist very tightly.

That blasted man who had the same face as the annoying Prince Wei hoisted her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes!

She found from her position, his firm buttocks that, along with being well defined by the armor, were very distracting, "Put me down!" Still too weak, she could only hit his back with her clenched knuckles.

"Ah! She speaks!" Gao Lan Mei could clearly hear the sarcasm laced in his tone. Ignoring her feeble attempt to retaliate.

'Wack!'

"Hey!" she howled. Her butt stung right as she heard a sharp slapping sound. He'd just spanked her!
