The escape l.

Mei jingjing had stepped out for a while to find clues, she had sent the guards on an errand and went straight to her room but met Daiyu searching her room.

"Where's the seal?" she sounded frustrated as she searched around, Mei jingjing's eyes widened.

"Daiyu?!"

Daiyu gasped as she turned around to meet Mei jingjing's gaze.

"What are you doing in my room?" Mei jingjing asked having no idea what was going on.

"Oh so glad you could join in Mei jingjing." she smirked.

"I always knew there was something fishy about you." Mei jingjing said, not sounding surprised at all.

"Really?, that saves me the stress from introducing myself to you."

She made a sword from her fire. "Now hand me those seals!"

Mei jingjing balled her hands into fist. "Never!"

"My master has Li Jie in his captive, so you better do as I say!"

Mei jingjing gasped. "That means you know where master Li Jie is?"

Daiyu smirked. "Of course, I've been with him most of the times."

"H.... how is he?" she asked with so much concern it made Daiyu's blood boil with anger.

"None of your business, Master Li Jie certainly doesn't need you in his life, you're not worthy to protect him!"

She charged at Mei jingjing with her sword, Mei jingjing didn't see that coming but was able to move out of the way, Daiyu was way stronger than her and kept coming at her but Mei jingjing tried her best to avoid all hits pushing Daiyu into her standing table.

"You better tell me where my husband is?!" Mei jingjing glared at her, Daiyu froze at her spot, did Mei jingjing just call master Li Jie her husband?!.

She averted her fiery eyes towards Mei jingjing. "He is not your husband!!" she striked Mei jingjing with her sword but she got out of the way crashing into a chair and falling to the ground, Daiyu Chuckled.

"You two haven't even become one yet, so how is he your husband?!" she mocked with a cold smile. Mei jingjing's eyes grew wider, how did she know that?

" Master Li Jie is mine and can only be mine!"

Mei jingjing stared at her dumbfounded, what did she mean by that?.

"What do you mean?"

"Unlike you I'm in love with master Li Jie, I can give him all the happiness he'll ever need, my body, mind and soul, I'll be there for him, I won't try to push myself or my feelings away from him."

Mei jingjing fell speechless at her words, Daiyu's in love with master Li Jie?!.

"Y..... you ..... you're inlove with my husband?"

"He's not your husband, you've never done anything for him, you won't even let him touch you, he's always been there for you but what did you do?, you tried to push him away. He went as far as risking his life and kingdom all for you, he respects you but you?!, he's in so much pain and goes through so much torture in that place all for you. I hate you Mei jingjing!!" she raged.

Tears flowed from Mei jingjing's eyes as she went on, Daiyu smiled coldly seeing her in tears.

"Keep crying like that Mei jingjing, it gives me so much happiness to see you in pain, cause that's exactly what master Li Jie is going through."

Mei jingjing got to her feet and glared at Daiyu.

"Say all you want about me but the fact still remains, he's my husband cause we're legally married, if you love him as much as you say you do, why didn't you help him get out of there?, why watch him suffer like that?!."

"I let him stay there cause it gives me more reason to hate you!."

She sent a fire blast her way but Mei jingjing crawled out of the way, Mei jingjing's heart raced in fear as she watched the room starting to light up with fire.

Daiyu walked up to her and dragged her dress, the seal fell from her sash, she smirked and picked it up.

"I'd love to stay and end this but I have a seal to return to someone, plus I need to see Master Li Jie, he might need a little company."

She chuckled, "Guess what?, I even kissed him."

Mei jingjing gasped at her words. she what?!.

Seeing her shocken expression, she smiled with satisfaction. "How did you manage to keep yourself from him, I almost lost it after that kiss."

Mei jingjing's hand balled into tight fist as she got to her feet.

"Well, see you later."

Mei jingjing shook her head, she's already let Li Jie down once, she won't let him down this time.

She ran to Daiyu before she could vanish grabbing hold of her hand. They both vanished together entering the underground realm.

Daiyu gasped seeing Mei jingjing beside her.

"How did you get here?"

Daiyu couldn't believe it. Mei jingjing glared at her.

"I won't let you succeed." she snatched the seals from Daiyu and shoved her into an opened room and closed the door shut locking it from outside.

Daiyu banged on the door. "Let me out of here!...... Mei jingjing!"

She kept banging, Mei jingjing ignored her and glanced at the environment, it looked gloomy and dark, what kind of a place is this, if this is actually the place Daiyu comes to, master Li Jie must be here as well.

She walked further into the dungeon, she came to a part where two huge fire beasts were moving about, she quickly hid in a corner as she watched them waiting patiently for them to be out of sight before walking ahead, she came in front of a huge hallway, it looked red and dark and it gave Mei jingjing a fright, it's no different from hell itself. She walked further.

It looked so big how is she going to find Li Jie on time, she caught sight of Chaoxiang and hid in a corner.

"It's about time I pay him a little visit." Chaoxiang Chuckled and headed down. Mei jingjing followed him secretly and saw him heading to a guarded door with two beasts guarding the door.

The guards made way for him to pass, the minute the door opened, Mei jingjing caught sight of Li Jie meditating and her heart skipped a bit, she wanted to run to him but the door closed shut after Chaoxiang entered.

Li Jie kept his eyes closed and didn't bother to look at who just walked in, Chaoxiang smirked staring at him.

"I see you're feeling better aren't you, your wounds almost healed up, I haven't touched you yet but the healing process seems to be doing everything for me, you're in so much pain and you're getting healed up as well."

"What do you want?" Li Jie finally opened his eyes.

"I came to check on you."

"Why would you do that?"

"Cause I need to make sure you get better for my own benefit."

Mei jingjing waited for what felt like hours for Chaoxiang to leave the place, she wondered what he must be doing to him, the thought brought tears to her eyes.

The door suddenly opened and he stepped out, Mei jingjing looked away so she wouldn't be spotted.

Chaoxiang glanced around, he didn't know why but something doesn't feel right, he tried to shake it off and walked away.

Mei jingjing heaved a sigh of relief seeing he was gone, now it's how to get rid of those guards now.

Li Jie was almost healed up as the line of his wounds slowly began to fade wanting to leave his chest and body flawless again, the meditation really helped him in controlling the pain. It's crazy but he wondered why he felt Mei jingjing's prescence, does he really miss her that much.

Mei jingjing gave herself a slap at the back of her head.

"Think Mei jingjing, how are you going to get those guards out of here."

She cracked her brain and an idea suddenly came up.

The guards stood still at the gate, Mei jingjing picked up a few stones, she tossed the first one at one of the beasts making him think it was the other guard who did it, it frowned at it.

"Why did you do that?" he raged, the other beast guard got confused.

"Do what?"

One thing Mei jingjing had learnt about beast was that they hate being picked on and her plan seems to be working.

The other beast planned on ignoring it and facing his duty when Mei jingjing tossed another stone at it making it loose it's rage as it attacked the second beast, the two beasts started a fight moving away from the door.

Mei jingjing felt excited with her victory and once they were gone, she hurried to the door but it felt too heavy for her to pull, she banged on it.

"M..... master Li Jie." she called out.

Li Jie glanced up immediately at the sound of Mei jingjing's sweet tiny voice.

He heard the bang on his door again. "Master Li Jie."

Was Mei jingjing here?!, he got to his feet immediately leaning to the door.

"Mei jingjing?"

Mei jingjing gasped at the sound of his voice.

"It's me, open the door from the inside."

Li Jie still couldn't believe it but tried to open the door from inside pushing it open while Mei jingjing pulled from the outside, it slowly began to open and they kept on pushing, he was still too weak to use his powers.

The door finally opened up with Mei jingjing almost out of breath, Li Jie stared at her in utter surprise, she was actually here, tears welled up in her eyes at the sight of him.

"Master Li Jie." she ran and hugged him tight leaving him even more surprised as he hugged her back with his arms around her.

She never thought a day would come when she'll miss being in his arms like this, she pulled away and began to hit him.

"You're the worst, why did you do this, I was so worried and you didn't care about what I'd feel seeing you like this, you're heartless!." she kept on hitting him but he held her hand and a small smile formed on his lips.

"Why not just admit it that you missed me?."

Tears still swimmed in her eyes as she gazed at him.

"I didn't, I never did." she freed her hand from his hugging him again as he hugged her back, she looked alright and that was enough for him.

"We have to get out of here before those guards come back." she said.

"Let's go." he held her hand in his, they took a peek making sure the part was clear before stepping out, he closed the door and they both ran off.
