Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Then she added, "Yes, I need your help later." Gao Lan Mei really needed Wei Jiayi's resources for her to bring Feng Ji back.

When she had created the sparrow in her previous life, she had gathered the resources using her pawns alone and it took years. She just hoped that it would not take that long for Feng Ji to be back.

Gao Lan Mei subconsciously held her stomach. She did the ritual of return, as Feng Ji was made from her flesh and blood.

Although the body was different, the spirit was still connected. That was also the reason why when she transmigrated, the sparrow was with her since they connected not with the contract but with spirit.

She even considered the sparrow her closest relative, some would say the sparrow was her daughter. Even Feng Ji's image was carved from Gao Lan Mei's appearance.

Now for Wei Jiayi being stupid, despite how audacious his solution was, and regardless of how tortured she was, it did still help somehow.

Probably if he had told her his plan beforehand, it would have saved the torture for both of them. She would have been prepared to endure the chilling pain, or just not choose that route instead.

She just realized that she had felt the slow heat running through her veins when he had touched her. The lake might have been the reason why the toxin was not acting up earlier.

Even if it worked, there was no way for Gao Lan Mei to go back to the freezing water.

"Mei Mie, what do you need? I may have it," Wei Jiayi asked, knowingly.

Gao Lan Mei faced him challengingly, crossing her arms over her chest, "I will cook for you if you have acupuncture needles," she said, deadpanned.

She was confident that a man like him would not keep these types of things, not considering the fact that Wei Jiayi even had a women's dress in his storage ring.

With a smirk, "Here," Wei Jiayi opened his palm. A wooden box appeared, almost as big as his hand.

Gao Lan Mei's eyes bulged, she then grabbed the box to check what was inside. After confirming that there were really acupuncture needles inside, she asked, "Why do you have these?"

Wei Jiayi did not answer, but only smiled knowingly, just watching her fascinatingly while she curiously looked at the needles.

There were hundreds of needles inside, neatly arranged and layered in different sizes. Gao Lan Mei grabbed one needle and raised it high for a better view, looking closely, as she found it strange that they were not silver in color, but ash gray.

"What are these made of?" she questioned, finally looking at him, expecting an answer.

"You like it?" Wei Jiayi asked instead. "They are made of a meteor from another universe," he said confidently.

He had it made into an acupuncture needle for her, prepared it beforehand, so he could give it as a gift during the time he was still looking for her.

Then when Gao Lan Mei nodded like it was not a big deal, Wei Jiayi felt a little disappointment from her reaction when he had mentioned about getting the meteor from another universe.

No one could blame him as Feng Ji did not mention anything regarding Gao Lan Mei's fascination with books from all universes. Gao Lan Mei liked a method made in her previous life where she could 'borrow' things and add them to her collection.

So for her, hearing about the worlds beyond was not a big deal. It was her only form of entertainment when she was still under her confinement.

Anyone could confidently bet that Gao Lan Mei might know more about life on the other universes as compared to Wei Jiayi.
