40 I just missed you

"Stop!" he cried out but was ignored as Gao Lan Mei kept on hitting the small snake. "Stop it now!"

Whack!

Whack!

"Why are you bullying me?! How merciless!" It's been a while since he had last seen her, what a very welcoming gesture.

He was so far away, though that was the case, he could only see all that's happening after his pawn returned, it does not mean that the hit would not affect him. His head would ache with every hit, and she knew it!

Gao Lan Mei smirked as she heard Yen Mingjue's complain. She could imagine the scowl on the pampered prince face whenever he felt the annoying sting whenever a pawn was hurting. It was like being beaten by ants at the same time.

"You are a big boy. This should not make you yell like a banshee." Gao Lan Mae muttered before she stopped hitting him. Finally.

Pawns were artificial creatures like puppets that were connected directly to the owner's consciousness. A very wonderful invention for spies. No spiritual energy and too hard to detect.

Of course, as the one who used pawns a lot during her previous life, Gao Lan Mei did not have a problem looking for it even though she was not a cultivator yet.

Having enough for now, "I missed you." Gao Lan Mei smirked. She did not care if he was dejected from sadness since its seldom she could get even with this sneaky snake.

He could always go back to being dejected on his own later.

"...." Yen Mìngjué did not know what to say. If this was what she would do if she missed someone, what more if she said, 'I love you.' Would her future love die then because of her love?

"Hmph! Now you know how it feels when you played with my pawns before."

It was never fun to have the pawn suffer injuries, the owner would not suffer much, but it's annoying. The creeping pain in the back of the head, when the pawn was injured or died vexed her greatly. Yen Mìngjue loved to do just that to her before.

'Cough' Well, he cannot refute that since it's true. "Hehe. Fine. Enough with that now. I am here for official business." he said with a serious tone.

With a dismissive tone, "Not interested. Go away." Turning around to go back to the table to start eating the cold meal.

It's not that Yen Mìngjue's presence was not welcomed, but if it's his so-called job-related official business, she did not want to get involved. 'How in the world did he even find me?' She thought curiously.

With a deep sigh, "You can't be interested, you young miss know exactly what you did that warrants my being here. You know what you did that broke the heaven's law."

Gao Lan Mei did not answer immediately, "Do you really think heaven will have time to look for an insignificant little girl like me?" The heavens were so proud that they would not find time to look for someone who could not even cultivate right now.

"True. They will not care now, because they do not know that it was you who did it. You are now in the mortal domain, in a mortal body. But I doubt you plan to stay in the mortal realm forever." Yen Mìngjué was filled with concern that made her heart warm.

"They will know eventually that you are connected to it. Believe me, they will want what you have now." He assured. The heavenly beings always wanted what they could not attain.

What if you could choose to reincarnate whenever you pleased while still being alive then eventually if you are not happy with your reincarnated life, you could go back?

This woman, with no name, no face, an unknown being at that time, was able to break the barrier between life and death just to be free.
