Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 519: Start of Deceiving and Forgetting

The metal surrounding the cage was golden with unknown origin. Gao Lan Mei could see on the other side a table on top of it, an exquisite looking stone ink and brush. 

Aside from these things looked nostalgic, they seemed to look so big compared to her. They looked like a giant owned them. 

Gao Lan Mei tried to look downwards, but she was not able to. She could not even look around the room that she was in. 

At this time, she seemed like a spectator, watching a show. 

She then remembered what the woman had told, 'Remember the past What do I have to remember?'

Wooosh!

Puff!

It was the sound of Gao Lan Mei's mind opening up after she tried hard to remember what she needed to. She then saw gold-colored runes moving in front of her. These were strips of sealing mantra. 

The runes hymn sounded suddenly, and it immediately gave her comforting. It then stopped before she realized it. 

At the same time hymn stopped, Gao Lan Mei realized a lot of things. Mostly she remembered that the cage that she was in was hanging by the ceiling. 

Aside from that, she knew that she had possessed a crow pawn using a fragment of her scattered soul, and because of this, she was able to control all movements of it as if she was the pawn itself. 

'Ah, I really can do this if I wanted to.' Gao Lan Mei lamented to herself unsurprised. 

Possessing another creature or animal needs a lot of mastery and mostly could only be done with the help of heavenly bloodline. 

It was just like how Yen Mingjue managed to take over a complete unrelated beast in the Mortal Domain, just because of its genes. KaiKai bloodline was a devil hound from the Underworld. 

Though it was not pure, Yen Mingjue did not have any difficulty taking over the beast and stealing it away from Wei Jiayi. 

Usually, pawns do not have consciousness and do not connect spiritually with its owner. 

There were two ways to be able to retrieve a pawns imprinted senses. The first option was when the pawn was touched again by its owner, while the other was when it died. 

In her previous life, since she was confined, the first option was impossible. In fact, by just letting a pawn released was already difficult. What more if she wanted to return it to the place where they were trapped since they did not even know where the confinement was. 

How many years did it take to be able to accomplish this? 

How many times did she fail and received the backslash before finally being successful? 

Nevertheless, she was grateful for having her pawns, because she had seen a lot of things because of them after all. 

She witnessed events through the years while she was trapped. There were times that the things that she saw makes her yearns to be free so badly because of its peace and tranquility. 

Some items originated from noting before evolving to become timeless or power treasures through time and fate. 

If there were good things to remember and crave for, there were also those things that must be forgotten. 

How many wars had she witnessed? How many cities had fallen b because of its unfortunate fate to be not able to fight conquering empires? 

Her pawns also allowed her to watch an endless sea of blood with countless bones, became a feast for wild beast and crows. Numerous massacres between beings that could not coexist. Many beings of different races swept through their generation where being harvested to be nutrients to others. She had seen most of it through the uncountable number of years she was trapped. 

When you are trapped in the place for so many years, the loneliness will always be there. There will always be an empty void in one's heart that could not be filled. Eventually, all the bottled emotion will even eat you eventually, until you go mad. 

'Did I erased too much? Is this the reason I was not successful when I managed to step on the Mortal Domain?' She asked herself. Gao Lan Mei was also hoping that the woman would answer her as if the other could answer all her questions. 

In her heart, she was aware that her recklessness and unpreparedness caused her downfall in the Mortal Domain. 

If she was strong enough and managed to keep all the critical knowledge that she had accumulated all the years, could anyone kill her despite only having a mortal body? No. Her death will only be possible if she offered herself on a golden platter. 

The more Gao Lan Mei thought about it, the more she was convinced that remembering everything and unlocking all her mind seal was now necessary. She did not even care what the precautions were or the exchange for. 

There were a lot of memories that she chooses to seal to stay sane. At that time, she also did not want others to know because she knew deep down that regardless of how patient or loyal a being was, the loneliness could make your mind twisted. 

'Others' As soon as Gao Lan Mei thought about that, the room in front of her suddenly distorted, before it got replaced by another room. 

Aside from that, there were tiny flames, with different colors floating in front of her, hovering. 

These flames, she recognizes them completely. However, she did not want to remember them. 

Gao Lan Mei felt tremendous pain from just seeing or possibly hearing the voices again. She wanted to close her eyes but could not as she was only a spectator. 

Nevertheless, even if the past were painful, she would probably do the same if given a chance. Despite already knowing what would happen next, Gao Lan Mei did not have a way to stop it. She could only watch the time she started deceiving and forgetting the beings and things that were important to her
