章 41: Abnormality

Years ago, when the barrier of death cracked, Yen Mìngjue had immediately thought of Gao Lan Mei.

Gao Lan Mei, that was her name now. 'I can start calling her Sister Lan Mei. Just for fun.'

Being the son of the death god, he could sense the changes in the laws of life and death. He was always aware that she wanted to be free.

Who wanted to stay in a place that you could not even see the sun? Or the moon? Or snow?

She was not alone, yes, but not being able to see all the things outside from birth was not something Yen Mìngjue understood.

When all her pawns disappeared and there's no contact in years, it confirmed his hunch that she was the reason for the crack in the barrier of death. 'Was she floating around like a wandering spirit all this time?' Yen Mingjue thought to himself.

His multiple pawns were scattered to all domains to look for her. The strange event relating to thousands of crows that covered the sunny sky had gotten his attention.

Gao Lan Mei's weakness were aerial beasts. Especially bird type spiritual beasts. Feng Ji could manipulate these types of creatures. If she was able to reincarnate, surely Feng Ji would follow.

'Because they are so free.' He remembered her answering when he asked why all her pawns were different types of birds. 'Mind your own business.' she would always reply.

Though she was only a voice in a crow pawn every time they meet, he always felt that she was like the sister that he'd never had. The love of his life as well was very fond of her.

When the tragedy happened, this young woman wanted to manipulate reincarnation for him, but he refused.

Who would have thought that she was able to do it to herself instead?

Was he regretting refusing the chance to reincarnate his love? Probably not, because he did not know if his love would be fine with it.

He would not allow the heavens to harm an important person in his life. Whoever it was, he would not allow it. Never again.

Even if it was his father who wanted to harm Gao Lan Mei, he would not allow it.

"Hmmm… They can always try if they are capable." Gao Lan Mei, minded that the heavens weres looking for her. Good thing they did not know who she was, before and especially now.

Right now, she was considered dead but not dead. A being that was alive in two separate entities. Her original body did not breath but would never die as long as the spirit was still around.

What if those old prunes from heaven were able to create a treasure to specifically look for an abnormality like her?

"Hehe. I want to know if they can find my body first. That will be a big help me for me." A wicked smile appeared on her face, the glint in her eyes could not be hidden.

Since she could not leave that place physically, then she would do it spiritually. She would just have to find the exit from the outside.

"I will be strong. Strong enough to endure them. Enough so that they won't be able to capture me and take back my freedom." She vowed. Yen Mìngjue could hear her conviction in her every word.

Yen Mìngjue also knew that's what she needed, what they needed. They needed to be strong enough to fight and protect themselves.

"I will support you in any way. I will arrive in the Shizi Empire after two months. Do not die before I arrive, Xiao Meimei."
