When Xiao s.h.i.+ noticed Gao Lan Mei's apparent discomfort, she hissed at the dragon, "Look what you have done. You scared your own mate!" Xiao s.h.i.+ yelled. She also braced herself for another growl from the dragon.

However, instead of angry growling, the dragon whimpered.  

The dragon's large head leaned forward until it is close enough to Gao Lan Mei's head. It then continued to make whimpering noises. 

Gao Lan Mei could feel the dragon close, as she kept her eyes shut. She could also hear its noises but choose to ignore it. 

The images continued to flash inside her head, but they were getting slower, the more Gao Lan Mei continued to concentrate on it. 

Gao Lan Mei knew that there were still enemies around, and it was not wise to lose focus but decided to let Xiao s.h.i.+ and Wei Jiayi protect her in the meantime. 

'Still….' Gao Lan Mei could not help but focus all her attention on images since she did not want to miss anything as she might learn something important despite how painful it was to do so. 

Why? Because the images were like events involving a dragon that looked exactly like the one near her.  

"Miss! What is going on with you?" Xiao s.h.i.+ suddenly screamed before she looked up and glared at the dragon, "Oh move back a little, will you? We cannot have you accidentally swallowing us." She said anxiously. 

This earned a soft growl from the dragon. But its ma.s.sive head moved away from them. It was now s.h.i.+fting its gaze towards its left side. It was like a guard watching out for enemies while its long tail surrounded them. 

Xiao s.h.i.+ ignored the dragon's action and held Gao Lan Mei's chin upwards.  

Gao Lan Mei opened her eyes because of this and frowned at Xiao s.h.i.+. "What?" She asked, displeased for being interrupted with her concentration. The images were still confusing, no matter how hard she tried to make sense of them.  

Earlier, she had grown accustomed to the pain, then eventually ignored it altogether. When that happened, the images became clearer. 

There were images of dragons fighting in a vast valley. Then another set of images have some people gathered, red lanterns hanging on a very wide Pavillion like they were on a wedding celebration. Gao Lan Mei also saw a young man that looked like Wei Jiayi on a temple. 

The temple was like what she had seen during the time her consciousness was inside the Eye of Meng. 

She did not understand why the images appeared inside her head. Was it because Wei Jiayi claimed her as his mate. Or it was because of something else. 

Gao Lan Mei, however, was able to clarify one thing. The scenes were giving her so much familiarity, confirming that she might have seen them before. 

If that was the case, she might have seen Wei Jiayi before. 

She wanted to know more and was trying to remember, but Xiao s.h.i.+ had disturbed her concentration.  

Instead of answering, Xiao shook her head before speaking, "Your nose is bleeding! Can't you sense it?" She asked, sounding worried. 

"Huh?" Gao Lan Mei's brows wrinkled further. Then she used her still working hand to reach for her nose. After that, she realized that Xiao s.h.i.+ was not lying. 

'Why did I not notice that?' It concerned Gao Lan Mei, especially since she was not able to sense simple changes in her body like this. 'What else did I not no-'

'Flare!' 

'Blaze!' 

Before Gao Lan Mei could even process why her nose was bleeding, her attention was suddenly caught by Wei Jiayi's continuous attack towards their right. 

'Boom!'

Then from the same direction, a blast of spiritual energy was sent to the dragon's body. It was a good thing that its power was not big enough to cause real damage.

The return attack, though, angered the dragon as it growled very loudly. 

"d.a.m.n it! When is this going to end?. " Xiao s.h.i.+'s face became boiling-red as she began cursing at the enemies who were cowardly hiding in the dark smoke of Impurities. If she did not need to take care of Gao Lan Mei, she might have already run towards the enemies to hunt them down. 

Gao Lan Mei bit on her lower lip, before she murmured, "I am fine. Save Sung Zhi Ruo."  For her, she was fine as long as she stayed with Wei Jiayi's dragon.
