Ma Fei Hong is not really sure how to answer her. She did promise to Wei Jiayi to protect Gao Lan Mei as long as it is not going to interfere with her job as a Justice Affairs deacon. Now, Gao Lan Mei is asking her to promise to kill her if she became uncontrollable. The only time that will happen is when impurities inside the body became more than the being can handle. Is the situation too much for her to handle?
Ma Fei Hong reached for Gao Lan Mei"s hand and tightly held it together. "Mei"er, can I call you that?" She asked with a smile.
Then continued when she got a nod to confirm, "You do not need to shoulder this burden. The burden to save everyone. Since I already treated you as a sister, I can only promise that I will stop you whatever the cost, when you turned like Yinyings. Of course, I am also here to make sure that you will not end up that way."
"If you know how to use dark magic, then so be it. In the event that you are questioned I will take responsibility and tell them that you are my apprentice." She offered carefully ignoring the consequence of her current state.
Ma Fei Hong already realized that Gao Lan Mei plans to use dark magic as well to fight which is also logical. That the reason as well why she changed her appearance to a male.
"Since I am accountable to you using dark magic, then I am also responsible to stop you if you are already out of the line." Ma Fei Hong continued. "Just remember that you are not alone, and I am here, willing to help you."
"I see." Gao Lan Mei nodded her head, then her head bowed low as she looks at her feet.
She then realized that she has been doing this a lot recently. She normally does so when she unsure on how to respond and felt awkward to talk further.
Yes, she just remembered that there are others that are willing to stay with her to not make her feel alone aside from Feng Ji. There is Wei Jiayi as well as the others. Gao Family as well that will always help and support her. With that, Gao Lan Mei is more determined to save everyone.
"You know that can be our secret as Wei Jiayi cannot also help you on that." Ma Fei Hong smirked. Since Wei Jiayi does not know how to use dark magic, there is no way for the dragon to be useful regarding these matters.
"Well, can always join Justice Affairs if you want to. Scratch that, just join us now. The mask is comfortable." Ma Fei Hong encouraged.
Gao Lan Mei chuckled at that notion. "I would like that, but I do not want to be confined to just one place. However, I need the experiments."
"Great that you are interested! Do not worry, I can arrange on that for you!" Ma Fei Hong advised. "Let us make it official after killing all Yinyings on site. Well with that, they are actually now our responsibility. Do not worry, help is on its way. We may be on a disadvantage on a lot of reasons but that does not mean we are still going to give up without a fight." She continued removing the chance for Gao Lan Mei to rebut.
They are in a disadvantage as they are unprepared. It still does not mean that they are bound to lose. "You know, we need to first to take care of the citizens. They need to stay somewhere safe, where the smoke cannot reach them when the barrier collapsed." Ma Fei Hong explained.
"Are you saying that the underground shelters are not enough? Is that the reason why you want everyone to leave the empire instead?" Gao Lan Mei asked.
