Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 518: Is it a good idea?

Wang Yin was confident that the Red room was the only solution to keep Gao Lan Mei alive. Especially if she has the protection of the Prince of the Underworld, so they just all patiently waited. 

While they were all waiting, Gao Lan Mei was just there, inside the room, without showing any signs of movement.

Hours turn to days, then weeks, before months went by without her not showing any signs of waking up.

After months of silence inside the Red Room, Wang Yin and rest were all expecting that Gao Lan Mei would be coming out soon. 

However, no one would expect that after the black smoke was removed entirely from her body, Gao Lan Mei's flesh slowly started to breakdown. 

Her flesh slowly dissolved before evaporating in the air. Gao Lan Mei's body looks like it was deteriorating, before turning into dust. 

While this was happening, Gao Lan Mei also had her own internal struggle

***

'Do you really want to live and be free? A female voice asked softly.

Gao Lan Mei was startled after hearing that voice. 'That sounds so familiar' She thought to herself. Who was it? 

The voice was speaking through her consciousness, so Gao Lan Mei tried to open her mouth to respond but unable to. 

She then tried to open her eyes next to see who was the one talking but could not. It was painful to do so. Gao Lan Mei had thought that she was already used to any severe pain. It was bothersome and annoying to feel the pain, but it still proves that one was alive. 

Aside from the pain, Gao Lan Mei felt like she was not lying on any surface as if she was floating. Because of this, she became worried.

'Are you afraid? Why? Pain is necessary. Everyone wants to live and be free even if they only exist for a short time. So short, it just looks like a dot compared to the thread of time for eternity.' The female voice continued, asking curiously. 

Gao Lan Mei wanted to frown, but still unable to do so. 'I am not afraid, but you are noisy.' For her, if the woman was not willing to help, the busybody might as well go away. 

After chuckling, 'It was the first time I was called busybody.' The woman noted amusedly. This also confirmed that the woman could hear Gao Lan Mei's thoughts. 

'Go away! If you don't have anything better to do, just leave me alone!' Gao Lan Mei screamed inside her head. She was busy trying to figure out how to survive, and someone was using her as entertainment. Unacceptable!

The woman hummed, 'I do have better things to do. For example, I must help you. But' 

'You can help me?' Gao Lan Mei asked suspiciously. 

'Yes, I can. The problem is, I am not sure if it is a good idea. What do you think? Is it a good idea?' 

'Of course!' Gao Lan Mei still felt skeptical talking to the woman. However, she did not ignore the part where she felt like that woman was someone very familiar. It was never a good idea to trust strangers with your life, but she does not have a choice. 

The woman hummed, before speaking slowly, 'But first, you have to promise me one thing' 

'What is it?' 

'I will tell you once you recovered completely' 

Gao Lan Mei felt like she was entering a trap. 'If you want me to be your slave, then forget it.' 

'No! No! I am not that type who likes women for slaves. I like handsome, tall, and obedient guys!' The woman indignantly replied as if offended. 

'Then what is it?' Gao Lan Mei demanded. 

'I promise it is not something you cannot do! If it is against your principles, then you can refuse! I swear this in the Chaos Lake!' The woman declared. 

Chaos Lake was located in the Underworld and was often used by spirits or ghosts for oaths since they do not have mortal life in the first place. Many states that at the bottom of the lake, a prison could be found for banished gods. 

The surface of the lake looked ethereal, however, if any spirit stepped on the lake, one would relieve his or her worst nightmare. It was also almost impossible for anyone to survive it. Aside from that, the curse of the lake when oaths were broken would have the same effect. 

Knowing this, Gao Lan Mei was surprised to hear it from the woman. It was also able to confirm that the woman who was offering to help her was a spirit. 

Nevertheless, with the oath uttered, there was no reason for Gao Lan Mei to refuse further. 'Very well. I will trust you. As long as you can help me and the promise that you want is doable, then I will cooperate.' 

'You will never regret it! The things that you have doing so far were mostly incorrect. We can't have you receive Heavenly punishment. It is a good thing that those old gods can't step into any Domain personally. What if they can? What will you do with your unbalanced self?' As soon as Gao Lan Mei agreed, the female voice started ranting. 

With disbelief, Gao Lan Mei could not help but exclaim, 'What I have been doing so far? You are watching me all along?! Who are you?' 

The woman snorted, 'Hmph! You will know soon! You said you would cooperate, right? If you can remember everything, you won't be like this in the first place! So you must remember!'

Bam! 

As soon as the woman demanded Gao Lan Mei to remember, she felt like something hit the innermost part of her being. Suddenly, Gao Lan Mei felt her body, falling fast. 

She could not use her hands to grab on anything. The fall eventually stopped, and the same goes with all the pain as well. 

Gao Lan Mei was delighted, so she tried to open her eyes. She initially wanted to celebrate when she was successful in doing so. However, Gao Lan Mei also realized that she was inside a cage
