REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

Seeing the contents of the scroll, everyone fell silent.

Each of them digested the meaning of the writing.

"What do you think the man was trying to say?" Xue Ning asked.

"Does this have anything to do with the ruby ​​star stone we're looking for?" She added again.

Fu Xie Lan who heard Xue Ning's words remained silent and didn't respond. She also had the same thoughts as the girl.

The message told her to get ready.

But prepare for what? And when?

"Relax your mind, honey. You just recovered. Don't think too hard," said Gu Yi when he saw Fu Xie Lan's serious look.

"You guys come out. Let Xie Lan rest," he said without turning his head.

"Okay. I'll come back later," Wan Lie replied then left the room, followed by Ju Xian and Xie Ning.

Now, only Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi, alone in the room.

"Sleep, Queen. Don't worry. I'll take care of you," Gu Yi said, lying down next to Fu Xie Lan.

While Fu Xie Lan, the girl did not listen to Gu Yi's words. Her mind was filled with the man who was her roommate.

'Who's he?'

'Is that guy the same person who always texts me?'

'If so, that means he knows something about the Elf race? or is that man....'

Fu Xie Lan shook her head. Denying her conjecture that seemed to be true.

All this time, the Elf race she knew had always been hiding. Move invisible. But why suddenly show up?

Judging by her appearance, Fu Xie Lan didn't find any traits that the elf race had in that man.

The appearance is the same as an ordinary human in general and no mana is detected from his body.

Feeling Gu Yi touch her, hug her from the side. Fu Xie Lan turned her head towards the man.

"Do you know who that man is?" asked Fu Xie Lan.

"Don't talk about other men in front of me, honey. I don't like it," said Gu Yi, who at that moment carried his head on the girl's shoulder while closing his eyes.

"Go to sleep. It will be morning soon," Gu Yi pleaded.

Fu Xie Lan nodded at the man's words. Sleepiness suddenly hit her, and seconds later, the girl fell asleep.

While Gu Yi who saw the girl had closed her eyes, he then slowly rose from his position.

He walked slowly to the window and half-opened it. The crow slowly created from the smog in the palm of his hand.

Sends a crow away somewhere, then recreates another one and also sends it away. Fly in the opposite direction to the previous crow.

Finished doing that, Gu Yi closed the bedroom window and stepped closer to the chair. Sitting there, awake until the morning comes. No one knows what he was thinking.

***

"How are you feeling now, Queen?" Gu Yi asked slightly turning his head towards Fu Xie Lan.

Fu Xie Lan only glanced at the man with no intention of responding.

"I want to walk around the palace," the girl said after a few minutes of silence.

"Okay, I'm too," said Gu Yi.

"Up to you."

At this time, the man was sitting on the chair by the window. Suddenly a crow barged in and landed right in front of Gu Yi.

Seeing the crow, Fu Xie Lan approached. She seemed familiar with the animal.

Taking a closer look, it wasn't a real crow. but rather a wisp of black smoke that resembled a crow.

The girl's brow furrowed, she seemed to have seen such an animal before, but where?

Gu Yi let the crow peck at his fingertips, it took a few seconds, and then the creature walked up to the man's palm and disappeared there.

Immediately the air temperature in the room changed drastically, the intimidating aura and the man's eyes turned slightly horrifying.

Cough..cough.

His attention was diverted by Fu Xie Lan's coughing sound. Immediately he normalized his expression as before. For a moment Gu Yi forgot that he was currently with Fu Xie Lan.

"I'm sorry, Queen."

"Ehem, it's okay," the girl said rubbing her chest. Trying to get as much oxygen as possible. Because earlier she felt that her breath would stop at that very moment.

"Did something happen?" asked Fu Xie Lan after feeling a little better.

"I want to go somewhere," Gu Yi replied.

"How long?"

"Maybe just a few hours?" he replied then kissed Fu Xie Lan's neck.

"Okay. Be careful. I'll be waiting for you," replied the girl again.

"I say goodbye, Queen," said Gu Yi, taking Fu Xie Lan's hand and giving it a short kiss, then retreating a little away from the girl.

Fu Xie Lan nodded, her eyes never leaving Gu Yi.

The man then jumped out the window, Fu Xie Lan who saw him immediately ran over and looked down there.

She thought Gu Yi was going to land on the ground, but what she found was that the man was already out of sight.

Rough gasps were heard, even though Gu Yi said that he was only gone for a few hours, but somehow she felt a little unwilling to be separated from that man. She also did not know, when her feelings developed to this stage. Everything the man gave her was a first for her.

Not finding the man anywhere, Fu Xie Lan slightly leaned her head against the side of the wide-open window.

'Who are you?'

'Why do I feel you are so familiar to me?'

Fu Xie Lan's monologue in her mind. Until now she still did not know anything about the man. Where does it come from? And why always be around her. She only knew about Gu Yi's family story but not about that man.

Even though he was so mysterious to her, she still believed in the man. Who knows. let's say she's stupid for believing in a man she just met, especially if she doesn't know too much about his origins.

'Where have I seen that creature before?' her monologue when she recalled the crow in Gu Yi's hand earlier.

Suddenly her head was leaning back upright. Wasn't that crow the same as the cat she saw back then in Elder Chen's residence? Yes, right. The cat was also not a real cat and came from the same plume of black smoke she saw in the crow.

Again the girl's mind was filled with questions and conjectures.

'Did the cat come from you too?'

Another sigh escaped Fu Xie Lan's lips. She might go crazy if she stays in this world any longer.

One question is unanswered, and another question pops up again.

One event has not been resolved, and another event has occurred again.

She who is a foreign soul in this world finds it too difficult to digest and face everything at the same time.
