Chapter 95: Mint

Gao Lan Mei was not joking. "Hurry, put me down. I felt like puking." She said with fake weakness.

He did not respond to her, instead, she felt a ripple of energy which was glazed spiritual strength fluctuating from him.

They were on an elegant stone corridor that was inscribed with runes everywhere, but the next moment after the energy burst, they were suddenly in a large room. Teleportation!

It was as quick as the blink of an eye and made her dizzy like she wanted to vomit from the sudden spatial bending combined with blood rushing to her head.

Probably feeling merciful, he lifted her up from his shoulder and slowly glide her down as his arm still held her firmly on the waist.

She had no choice but to feel his warmth through his armor as she slid down. Despite her getting cold because of her wet dress, the heat that he gave off, overrode that.

Feeling her face getting warm because of this, she immediately bowed her head and stepped back as soon as her feet touched the cold marble floor.

She could still feel him staring at her intently but ignored him, trying to turn back but failing completely. His hand touched her head, feeding the spiritual energy from it to heal her.

"There. Feeling better?" he asked, his voice laced with concern, hands still holding her waist, not allowing her to stay away.

With a nod, she tried to pry his fingers off her waist, "You can release me now." She said looking at him directly, her red eyes glared at his silver ones challenging.

With a smirk, "Is that what you really want?" he asked knowingly. Like he was fascinated at her feeble attempts to be in control.

With a frown, "Yes!" she answered without a second thought.

Instead of releasing her, his face moved closer to her, his nose touching her own. He then touched her cheek with a finger and slowly caressed her face, running it on her cheek in hypnotic pace. There were tiny currents flowing with his every touch on her skin.

"Do you not feel that?" He asked, his finger continued playing with her cheek as he held eye contact with her, all his attention only on her. He looked to be genuinely smiling at her like she was the most fascinating thing in the world.

His eyes were getting hazy with something that Gao Lan Mei had never seen from anyone, especially when directed at her.

The way he looked at her with his silver eyes was soothing, if it were possible to just stare at those eyes forever, it would probably be fine for her. 

It's like she could feel a strange comfortable warmth spreading from the bottom of her heart.

'Feel what?' Gap Lan Mei asked herself in confusion. She could feel her heart pounding because of the proximity. Her brain stopped functioning as she just stared at the mesmerizing silver eyes. What was she supposed to do again?

His warm breath smelt like mint. That was quite strange since they were at the bottom of the sea. Sea mint? Was there such a thing?

"Stop!" Gao Lan Mei forcefully removed herself from his hold. As soon as she did so, his lip curled down, not happy at her outburst, then masked it with an indifferent expression.

Calming her senses, she paid attention to something else. She had almost caved into his touch. The feeling of being with him was starting to surface. It's a good thing that she got distracted because of 'Mint'. That will be her safe word then in the future if he's involved.

Chapter 96: Why am I here?

She turned around and decided to ignore him, trying to distract herself from the place they were at that moment.

The room was almost bare, one could count the number of things with both hands.

It had a large bed with black bed sheets, an antique black large cabinet, a large chest at the corner of the room and a small table.

The room walls were decorated with carved ancient runes that made it look elegant, especially the heavy stone door, that had colored hieroglyphics combined with runes forward off evil and protection.

The window was also large and was covered with a white drape laced with gold, from the ceiling to the floor. The fabric looked heavy, but still allowed the light from the outside to enter the room enough to brighten the place.

For Gao Lan Mei, it was a very interesting feat to make the underwater temple bright like there was a sun there, just like her prison all the things here were artificial. Except for the treasures that were collected throughout the years of its existence.

Covering the large bed was a thick black blanket, and there were no pillows anywhere. Next to the bed was a small marble table with a scroll on top of it.

The lamp next to the scroll was made of gold and had an embedded spherical crystal bigger than an adults head.

Gao Lan Mei was curious about how the lamp emitted blue light so she moved towards it, but was stopped when his strong arms hugged her from behind.

What he did cause her to stiffen, her heart that had not yet completely recovered from his earlier contact was now beating so fast like it wanted to get out of her.

"Do not move yet. You're going to wet the floor." His voice hoarse, but with a soft tone and aching sound like he was being restrained.

Frowning, "Can you use magic to dry my dress?" She asked, while trying to escape his strong arms around her waist. 'What's with this situation? He keeps touching me!'

"Can you release me?" She asked with a hint of annoyance.

"I can, but I do not want to... " he replied softly. He placed his chin on top of her head. Continuing after releasing a deep breath, "This is your dream, your desire, I am a product of it. My wants are your wants, regardless of how hidden it is." He said.

Shaking her head, "My wants? I do not want to be with you." She said firmly. His grip tightened then relaxed.

"If you do not want me, then why am I here?" He asked with an indifferent tone, "think about it from the bottom of your heart." Then he released her and went to sit on the side of the bed where the table was, then he just looked at the window covered with drapes.

Sitting alone on the bed made him look so lonely. The black armor that he wore matched the bed cover. He's like a lost puppy that was bullied by a cat.

'Why is he here?' Gao Lan Mei did not know and did not understand. However, regardless of the reason, this was her dream, her inner desires or demons.

'Fa Li or anyone else surely would not get involved with my dream, right? It is probably impossible.' Gao Lan Mei thought silently. As the Eye of Meng is a treasure with special requirements, Gao Lan Mei would never completely assume that it was really manipulated at this time. 

She walked towards the bed and sit beside him, "I really do not want to be with you or I should not be with you." Gao Lan Mei said with indifference not even looking at him. She just continued to stare at the window.
