477 Do not be fooled (1/2)

He glared threateningly and added, ”Do not call me that again.” For him, it was a reminder of his old position in his clan.

Wei Jiayi then shook his head, removing all the unnecessary and time-wasting thoughts. The key to their safe escape from this place was if the Boundary spell was utterly broken.

Since he was one of the beings that could destroy it, Wei Jiayi needed to go back to the flame wall with Gao Lan Mei and get back on the attack.

Wei Jiayi gritted his teeth as he looked at Fa Liwei and Concubine Li in front of him. Then behind him, where YinYings were still fighting Sung Zhi Ruo.

He knew what he had to do but also knew how difficult it was going to be!

”Young Master Wei, this is your last chance to talk to us. The next time I move, I will not show mercy.” Fa Liwei stated suddenly his dark eyes looking soullessly at Wei Jiayi and Gao Lan Mei.

”….Worship all that is in the heavens above.” Gao Lan Mei murmured weakly. However, the impact of her soft words on the enemies did not go unnoticed.

Wei Jiayi frowned and shifted his gaze to Gao Lan Mei, who was still in his arms. ”Mm? Did you say something? Are you feeling alright?”

”That was the first hidden law.” Gao Lan Mei shook her head and placed her index finger to his lips as Wei Jiayi made a move to speak.

Gao Lan Mei slowly moved away from Wei Jiayi as he hurriedly tried to stop her, but Gao Lan Mei just shook her head again, while carrying a determined expression.

'….Doesn't look like giving up on living.' Wei Jiayi thought to himself worriedly. In the end, he begrudgingly nodded his head.

Gao Lan Mei kept her eyes trained squarely at the floating cage and carefully stood up. She was still trying to balance her footing, as the numbness hadn't wholly vanished yet.

She could see the floating cage. The broken edges, multiple large dents, and scratches on it could be seen from afar.

”…never interact with any being from the Beyond without ample sacrifice.” She said weakly. That was the second hidden rule.

'Baang!'

'Wham!'

Another dent had suddenly appeared on the cube-like, giant cage. A dent that looked like an imprint of hands!

'Just as I thought,' Gao Lan Mei's eyes narrowed after realizing that the rules itself were the key to releasing the being inside the cage.

”What's the third one? Hurry!” Concubine Li asked excitedly.

Gao Lan Mei shifted her gaze to Concubine Li before asking, ”You will free us all after and if we cooperate?”

”Of course! My brother would be happy to let you all serve him!” Concubine Li declared, with delight on her face.

”Miss Gao! What are you doing?! Do not be fooled by them!” Sung Zhi Ruo yelled urgently.

”I see,” Gao Lan Mei replied uninterestedly. Her gaze shifted to Fa Liwei before she slowly made her way towards him.
