Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 91: Her original face

Gao Lan Mei ignored Gao Shen's nervousness. She was really interested in using the Eye of Meng. For anyone, dreaming while awake could be fascinating.

She raised her hand to reached out to the orb. As Gao Lan Mei's hand neared the orb, she could feel the faint electricity, giving her a strange, almost ticklish sensation on her palm. It's more like ants crawling on her hand but not causing any damage.

"One moment." Fa Li said halting Gao Lan Mei's hand in the air. "Wait for my signal."

He was supposed to tell them before touching the orb. Though the orb was entertaining to use, it had its moments of unpredictability.

Fa Li stabilized his control of the Eye of Meng, Wang Li moved behind him, preparing to support if needed.

"Start." Fa Li firmly said. With that Gao Lan Mei and Gao Shen placed their hand in the orb that now showed a white, slowly swirling vortex.

Gao Lan Mei closed her eyes, feeling her consciousness slowly being sucked by the Eye of Meng. It was not painful, it's just very uncomfortable.

Despite the uncomfortable feeling it gave, she knew that she needed to accept the pull.

Gao Lan Mei shifted her weight to her left leg for a more comfortable position. She then took a deep breath to relax before focusing all her attention inside of the Eye of Meng. By instinct, she knew that it was important to concentrate on the white vortex that was still slowly moving inside it.

This action did not go unnoticed by both Fa Li and Wang Li who just frowned, trying to guess if she is fine or not.

One of them wanted to interrupt earlier to help Gao Lan Mei fuse her conscience with the Eye of Meng, but looking at her comfortable stance, it seemed that there was no need to do so.

It's understandable for Gao Shen since he knew how this worked. But for Gao Lan Mei?

'How did she learn the trick?' Fa Li could not help but be suspicious silently. No one could answer him though. 

Gao Lan Mei fused her consciousness with the Eye of Meng. She could feel the prickling current that gave her goosebumps paired with the sensation of ants crawling her entire body.

After a while, the prickling sensation stopped, Gao Lan Mei opened her eyes. She found herself alone, standing in the middle of the ocean's surface feeling the water slowly moving under her bare feet.

Through the water's reflection, she saw that she was wearing a long red dress layered with white that almost reached her feet. The dress looked heavy, but she barely felt it because of its lightness.

In the reflection on the water was a very beautiful woman with long silver hair and bright almond eyes, when someone looked closely, her irises were so dark in red that they almost seemed black. With a pointed nose and reddish lips, if a mortal saw her, they could compare the woman to a goddess.

It was her original face. The face that she had for so many years while being trapped and was still trapped.

The sun shone brightly in the blue bright sky. The white clouds moved around the sky like smoke trying to look for its place.

She could not see any ending or beginning to the ocean. Making a guess on where to head next was difficult for her.

Just making a wild guess, she took a step but then halted. Feeling the familiar weight on her left foot, she pulled up her dress.

The chain that she was very much familiar with was back on her foot.
