Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 79: I’m not mad

"Miss, why are you angry?" Feng Ji asked innocently. The sparrow still interchanged between calling her miss or young miss subconsciously.

While still staying on the top of Gao Lan Mei's head, Feng Ji could feel that its master was in a bad mood.

'Very bad mood.' Feng Ji concluded with the desire to help its master feel better. "How about some nuts Miss?" She offered.

The sparrow did not know why Gao Lan Mei is in a bad mood though. But surely, it's not because of the poor bird. 

"I will pass." Gao Lan Mei answered referring to the offered nuts. 

Its small sparrow head leaned towards Gao Lan Mei's attempting to make her feel better. "Why are you, mad Miss?" 

Reaching to the sparrow with a tap, "I'm not mad." that's the truth. However, Gao Lan Mei had mixed emotions regarding the events earlier, especially if mentioned about the prince.

Having the Purple Rose herb acknowledging her as an owner, then its breakthrough to higher rank was great news.

That also meant that she needed the prince's help every time she had to use a certain part of the herb. The parts that required the owner were stamen, pistil, and roots.

For the pill to remove her scars, she would need the pistil. Remembering this just now, she should have ensured his presence earlier, then start ignoring him after she got what she needed.

Was she upset when he told her that she's ugly?

Why did she even mention the word responsibility anyway like she wanted him to marry her?

A paper and the ink brush in front of her was a reminder that she needed to do something but was too distracted to even start.

The prince was dangerous. That was the case as well with his beautiful face. Masked or not, no one could say otherwise.

From her previous life, she might not have experienced it personally but though her pawns views, she learned that beautiful men were dangerous, especially those who evoked strange feelings to women.

The followers of the old man, her father from her previous life, also told her those beautiful men could not be trusted.

Using their charm, they could bend anyone to their will. The old man also did the same to others before since he was good looking and did not really age. His age was just so ancient, so old.

With a frown, she could feel her frustration rising. Gao Lan Mei didn't like anything that she did not understand.

She preferred books, herbs, medicine, magic, treasures, food, and strength. Above all freedom!

They were tangible, more logical, easier to explain and definitely much more important.

Gao Lan Mei organized her thoughts, deciding that since Wei Jiayi made her confused, she would just avoid him.

Finalizing that decision, Gap Lan Mei focused on the task at hand. She needed Xiao Jun's help with the next pill to make.

The pills he made so far were already good enough for immediate use. She wanted him to try to refine the Aptitude Pill she badly needed with the Spirit Gathering Pill.

For the lacking herbs, she would have Feng Ji deal with the prince.

After both pills were taken, she hoped that cultivation would be possible for her.

Scribbling intently Gao Lan Mei, was not even able to hear the servants coming in to check on her for breakfast.

Also their attempt to let her know that the door to her room was already fixed.

In a better mood, deciding that food was the best, she went to the kitchen, looking for something to eat.

"Young Miss!" Gao Chu was startled when Gao Lan Mei arrived in the kitchen.

"I am hungry." she declared, touching her stomach for added effect.

Of course, Gao Chu happily served the food to Gao Lan Mei regardless of how big the servings she needed.
