98 Fair enough (1/2)

”I can give it to you, but you need to reward your husband,” he said knowingly, reaching now to her long silver hair that is already dried up, playing on it.

Gao Lan Mei is not sure when her dress and hair was dried. Probably he did it earlier since for some reason she cannot use any spiritual energy or magic at that moment.

Nodding, then ignoring him mentioning about the husband part, ”Fair enough. You can have any treasure you want as long as I can give it.”

”Its the only thing you have right now actually aside from your dress.” then adding, ”Ah, we cannot really consider the chain a treasure despite it being unbreakable.”

Then remembering something, ”Would you like to know why the Eye of Meng was made?” he mentioned.

”Why it was made?” she curiously asked. There is no record on the books why it was made and who made it. The books just describe what it can do. Control desires. To dream of happiness or to have a nightmare.

Looking at her intently, ”The master that made the Eye of Meng wants to see a woman very badly. He created the orb to give himself a chance to meet her even if its only in dreams.” he said thoughtfully.

”Was he successful?” an effort like that, should be rewarded, Gao Lan Mei thought.

Looking meaningfully, ”Yes, he did.” then smiled widely at her.

”Where is it now?” she asked. The orb should be around for this man to tell her a lot of things about it, that she is not even aware of. Is this included in the magic from the Eye of Meng?

”You're not backing out of the reward are you?” he asked skeptically, like unsure if he is being lied to or not.
