"You do not hurt me. As you said before, you are just making sure I"m real." Wei Jiayi smiled dotingly, his face lowering down so he can touch his forehead to hers. "Bite all you want until you are content. Mei Mei, I will die if you leave me anyway. I do not care if it is intentional or not..." He confessed, tone playful but eyes looking at her seriously. "Do you want me to die?"
Gao Lan Mei"s eyes narrowed, "That is not a funny joke."
"I am not joking. I will tell you a secret... I am very old..." Wei Jiayi stated. "So old, I am very tired of existing. I was able to experience a lot of things. Having everything, the glory and power by just being part of my own race."
The dragon race mainly resides at the heavenly domain as they are considered beast only to serve a G.o.d. Just like Keepers are their history is closely connected.
"Then there was the war before the restriction law was placed and there I experienced betrayal causing me to almost commit suicide because of shame." He started reminiscing the times when he was a proud lad for being part of the dragon race before all this was shattered for the betrayal that his race did, using the younglings as a sacrifice to open a seal!
Wei Jiayi knows this is not a good time for them to talk about the things in the past given that there are beings waiting for them at the s.h.i.+zi Empire, especially the defense wall that Gao Lan Mei made.
Gao Lan Mei gasped slightly, not only because of what Wei Jiayi said but also because flashes of images appear inside her head, showing him b.l.o.o.d.y and dirty as he lays in the ground cursing life. After the images, she again felt the splitting pain in her head.
"Is that Wei Jiayi?" She asked herself and made sure he will not notice her pain by bowing her head slightly burying it to his chest.
"I am fine now." Wei Jiayi smiled as he thought Gao Lan Mei getting close to him as her attempt to comfort.
"It"s all in the past and it was the weakest part of my life, but I was saved. You know what saved me?" Wei Jiayi asked her knowingly, after placing his chin on top of her head and held her closer.
Gao Lan Mei swallowed the lump in her throat before answering, "You... Ah... Crows?" She then another flash of images appeared in her mind, on all angle.
"Stay away from me! You crows are waiting for fresh meat to eat?!" Wei Jiayi exclaiming to the crows that are watching him closely. A murder of crows that are currently on the branches of the trees around him waiting for something.
"Are they waiting him to die? What are these?" Gao Lan Mei tried to further remember but her head starting aching again.
Wei Jiayi"s eyes brightened, then he nodded slightly, "You"re correct, I was saved by a bunch of crows owned by Feng Ji"s master then eventually the sparrow helped me recover." He explained knowingly.
Then he lifted her face to look at him. Though she is wearing Merchant Lan"s mask, it does not matter. "I will continue to be better as long as you are with me. Understand?"
Gao Lan Mei nodded subconsciously. She does not want him to look like that again, b.l.o.o.d.y and dirty.
"Is this what he feels when I am hurt?" Instead of asking Gao Lan Mei circled her arms around his neck so he can lean down. When closed enough she kissed Wei Jiayi, her body molding his and allowing him to feel every part of her.
Wei Jiayi forgot everything else and just savored the kiss that his wife seldom gives him willingly. He then deepened it dominating Gao Lan Mei.
