REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"They will appear soon," said Fu Xie Lan after searching for the position of the two people using the power of her eyes, and a few seconds later the two people they were talking about immediately appeared from the front, piercing through the dense tree.

"Why are you guys like that?" Fu Xie Lan asked when she found Ju Xian and Xue Ning who looked very tired.

"So-sorry," Xue Ning said with her breath still erratic.

"Calm yourself first," said Wan Lie chimed in.

As for Ju Xian, after placing Xue Ning's body in a comfortable place, he also immediately looked for a suitable place for him to rest. Carrying someone with him made his body a little tired, moreover, the girl was taller than his body.

Moving on land and in the air has a very big difference. If he flew using a wand, at least he only used the mana in his body to control the thing while staying in the air, indifferent when he was moving on the ground as he did earlier cause it would drain his energy, especially he had just reached the position of a second-tier mage. Using mana and physical strength simultaneously made him a bit tired. It was fortunate that the two of them were soon able to catch up and find the whereabouts of Fu Xie Lan and the others.

Xue Ning and Ju Xian closed their eyes for a moment, controlled their breathing and relaxed their bodies a little then started talking.

"I had a hard time chasing you guys, I'm sorry," Xue Ning began. She was aware that her strength was very far when compared to Ju Xian let alone Fu Xie Lan and the others. During the trip, she felt like she was in a completely different group from herself, a stranger to herself.

"So weak," Wan Lie sneered who suddenly spoke up. Even though his voice was very small but because of his position near Xue Ning, the girl could hear his words.

"Alright, that's fine," said Fu Xie Lan.

"Now, we should go back to rest for a while before continuing the journey," she said again and then found a comfortable position for herself. As for Gu Yi, the man immediately followed and approached Fu Xie Lan.

"Stop right there," Fu Xie Lan pointed at Gu Yi's chest.

"Your smell, I don't like it," she added with one hand over her nose. Although the smell of blood in that place still faintly smelled, Gu Yi's presence made the scent clear. The man had already slaughtered many moon tigers, and the smell of blood filled his entire body. Fu Xie Lan didn't like the smell of blood, especially when it smelled of the people she was with.

Hearing this, Gu Yi took a few steps back while lifting his arms to feel his smell for himself.

"Ah yes, may I ask you a favor?" said the girl again.

"Whatever it is, honey."

"Can you neutralize the area over there, take the child with you. That's if you want to be of little use to me," said Fu Xie Lan then with a hand pointing at the magic beast carcass and some scattered corpses.

"As you wish, dear," Gu Yi chuckled. Even if the girl didn't ask for it, she would still do it. because otherwise, the smell of blood would fill the air. Previously he had forgotten the fact about it. His Queen was reborn and had a new habit that was different from before. Or is it because her soul is not yet complete? so she has a nature that is sometimes very different from during her previous life. Even so, he would still do everything for the girl.

While on the other hand, Xue Ning was frozen to the spot when her eyes caught sight of a small child with the same bite wound like the one she had before. Until Gu Yi took the boy away from there, the girl didn't take her eyes off him one bit.

"What's going on here? And that child?" Xue Ning asked curiously. Ju Xian who heard this immediately set his hearing keenly. He same curiosity as the girl, although he is mostly silent, his curiosity about certain things also makes him sometimes want to ask questions.

But thinking that he didn't have the right to know too much, he decided to shut up and just listen. After all, he was grateful that he had new friends and groups now, he didn't want to bother a lot of people even just to answer his questions.

Huang Bao turned to Xue Ning, "You're almost like that kid if only your wound wasn't treated immediately."

"Moon tiger?"

The old man just nodded in response to Xue Ning's question, while Wan Lie, the man previously wanted to ask but failed because he suddenly realized that Xue Ning and Ju Xian were not with them.

"Earlier, what do you mean about the magic forest, Uncle?" Wan Lie asked, recalling his question earlier.

"is something bothering you?"

"What's with that forest, Teacher?" asked Fu Xie Lan.

"This is the second time I've met a moon tiger, They should only exist in the magic forest," Huang Bao explained repeating his previous explanation. Several things bothered him.

"The magic forest is the forest with the largest mana flow in the territory of the mage race, even so, no one dares to go there. It's too dangerous because there are many magic beasts there, one of which is the moon tiger. The creatures tend to always be thirsty and hungry for mana (life energy), so they can't leave the forest even for a moment considering the mana flow outside the forest is very little, like this place. And if those creatures come out of the magic forest, the consequences can be life-threatening for those who encounter magic beasts like that because these creatures will hunt and prey on people and then absorb the mana to keep them alive, as you saw earlier." Huang Bao explained long.

"Did something happen in that forest, Teacher?"

"It seems so, but I'm not too sure given the danger that lies in that place," Huang Bao replied with a sigh.

"Something must have happened in the magic forest, Uncle. I'm very sure of it. what else makes those creatures leave the place that is their main home to live?" Wan Lie chimed in.

"I don't know," the old man sighed.

The wind blew again, carrying a scorched smell mixed with blood. It only smelled a few minutes and then disappeared, leaving behind a typical forest aroma as usual, as if nothing had happened before.

As the scent disappeared, Gu Yi's figure appeared and rejoined Fu Xie Lan and the others.

"In that case, instead of Master being confused, shouldn't it be better to report to the higher-ups of the Demon Palace? I think that The Ruler should know about this incident and not just sit idle in his palace" suggested Fu Xie Lan.

Huang Bao choked, his eyes scanned Gu Yi. He was afraid that his disciple would make that ruler angry.
