Zhao Liwei shook his head, "Why would she leave you? She does not love you if that is the case." He stated Wei Jiayi brows wrinkled in confusion, "Did you forget true mates cannot leave without the other?" He asked instead as unsure how to answer Zhao Liwei.
He paused for a moment, Wei Jiayi even stopped to face Zhao Liwei seriously. "Well just to respectfully answer your question. I am sorry to say this to you Your Highness, but for me, I prefer her getting mad and spilling someone"s blood, especially if it is related to another woman. Because for me it means she does care about me deeply."
Though Wei Jiayi is aware of the hidden conflict on households having multiple wives or concubine, he cannot use that to compare his future marriage since Gao Lan Mei will be his only wife.
"But what if it is required? She should understand. Your position may require you to get another woman for a political reason." Zhao Liwei continued to explain, his face turning ugly, trying to explain his point.
"Impossible." Wei Jiayi thought to himself. He is not a real royalty that needs to worry about political marriage.
Though he found the conversation strange, as Wei Jiayi also noticed the unfamiliar expression on Zhao Liwei face. "Is he talking about me or him?" He thought to himself.
"My Mei Mei, will not accept that. I already vowed to keep her as my only wife. If not, I would rather die." Wei Jiayi explained softly.
Then he added slowly, "In this universe, I have heard of beings, killing or sacrificing themselves because they cannot stand the pain of having the being that they love to get another. Why? Because if you love you need to let go? But not all can do that.
"I recognize some that even sold their souls for their loved one. Those beings cannot die. They do not have a permanent form, indistinguishable as a spirit or a demon, slaves for more than a millennium. They are called wraiths here." Wei Jaiyi stated further before turning around to continue walking towards the flying Voltar.
"For me, they are proof enough that if you love truly, sacrifices are supposed to be made." He then continued as he waved his hand to Zhao Liwei.

Xiao s.h.i.+ woke up but everything is dark, she blinked multiple times but it is still the same, unable to see anything through the dark. She is very much sure as well that her eyes are not covered.
Her hands together seem to be bound by a very heavy material.
"Where am I? What is going on?" Xiao s.h.i.+ asked herself. Using the rest of her senses, she tried her best to find clues. Is she alone in this place?
How about the outside environment? She is a forest or near the ocean?
Then how about the beast? Is she around any beast?
Xiao s.h.i.+ listened intently, she even raised her head as she tried to smell the place, but all the things she did is not helping her at all and she is not able to get any clues.
Then she tried to remember what happened before she lost consciousness.
Xiao s.h.i.+"s original master, Yen Mìngjué gave her to Gao Lan Mei, temporarily. She is supposed to play with the concubine on the second prince manor.
However, before she was able to act and enjoy fully, she was taken. Who? She does not have any idea as everything was so fast.
"I am getting rusty." Xiao s.h.i.+ uttered to herself, with disappointment.
Then she heard someone chuckling, "Nope. You are doing well so far wraith." A male voice spoke, but Xiao s.h.i.+ still wants not able to see anything.
"Who is there?!" Xiao s.h.i.+ called out, trying to stand up, clenching her fist as she prepares herself to fight even though her hands are too heavy for her to even lift them.
