Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 205: Mark of ownership

"Warm water and a clean cloth," he commanded, not even bothering to look at the female shadow, who had appeared.

After all this time, though they understood how important Gao Lan Mei was for Wei Jiayi, it was still hard for them to get used to how the cold prince treated their Wangfei.

It did not take long for the female shadow guard to return, with what Wei Jiayi had requested. "Dismissed. Go to the punishment hall with the rest." Wei Jiayi ordered indifferently. "No one is allowed in here." 

The incompetence shown by the shadow guards would not go unpunished. They had not only been unsuccessful in stopping that Ming girl from placing a love toxic in their room but had also let her get close to Gao Lan Mei: enough to hurt her. 

Wei Jiayi chose to completely ignore the fact that he had been the one who had ordered everyone not go inside the courtyard, aside from Kai Kai who, too, had seemed to fail to protect its new master. The hound should be receiving a punishment later as well. He would have Gao Lan Mei give the punishments according to her heart's content, later.

The shadow guard silently complied with her master's orders. 

Wei Jiayi gently used the wet clean cloth to wipe the dirt off of Gao Lan Mei, starting at her face. The male robes that she had been wearing were now tattered and dirty. He slowly removed all her clothes and wiped her clean.

The task would have been easier if he were using magic and spiritual energy to do his bidding. However, a being, recently purified, would not be able to directly contact anything above the norm, for a while. Especially magic and spiritual energy-containing impurities.

Right now, Gao Lan Mei did not emit any spiritual energy as her spiritual points for cultivation were now overly exhausted and looked almost burnt out.

Wei Jiayi being a very potent male dragon, who just recently experienced the supposed marriage bed, didn't really help the situation.

So, while he tried to seriously clean Gao Lan Mei, he could not help it when his throat ran dry. The wet cloth he had in his hand lingered under her breast, his fingertips feeling her warmth.

He glanced at the multiple bruise mark from her neck to the valley of her chest. There were also some on her stomach, hips and inner thighs. All were his marks of ownership. Wei Jiayi cleaned most of her wounds, intentionally leaving his marks still on her skin.

His hand slowly moved up, discarding the wet cloth, wanting to feel his skin to hers, touching a mound and slightly squeezing it. He found it fit nicely into his hand.

Finally realizing what he was doing, he immediately froze up. 'Stop. Not the time for this.' Wei Jiayi chastised himself.

There was still time before sunset, which meant he had a little while before the start of his one-year punishment, and he couldn't spend it acting like a fool, groping his unconscious wife.

Just remembering the punishment suddenly dampened the heat he was feeling below. It would be pure torture, but as long as she was around, he could find loopholes.

Nevertheless, he really shouldn't touch her that way, to avoid dual cultivation. The recent events as well had to be taken into consideration, especially with what had happened to Feng Ji.

Wei Jiayi released a deep breath and removed his hand to Gao Lan Mei's chest. Before his hand could go any further, a dainty hand grabbed his wrist.
