REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"Then, instead of continuing to say the impossible, what if this pervert wants you? Hmm?" said the man immediately turned his body and pressed Fu Xie Lan.

With slow-motion, his hand removed the top clothes that Fu Xie Lan was wearing.

Being treated like that, Fu Xie Lan's cheeks turned red.

Using the plant tendrils that came from her palm, Fu Xie Lan closed the window.

Usually, it was Gu Yi who did this, but this time it was different. And that made a Gu Yi even more excited.

The two figures did so, giving each other warmth. The sound of sighs and moans of pleasure filled the room again.

It was a long and sweet night for both of them.

***

A typical wake-up moan escaped a girl's lips and managed to dispel the cold silence of the early morning.

That girl was none other than Fu Xie Lan.

Her body felt colder than the usual night, tightening the blanket on her body, the girl felt something odd.

Fu Xie Lan tried to blink her eyes to adjust to the dim light of the lantern in the room.

Stretched her arms out to the sides, her brow furrowed when she found nothing there.

Empty.

Turned to the side, and There's nothing there.

The figure that usually entered her vision when she turned her head was now nowhere to be found.

Gu Yi is not there.

The man had already left. Fu Xie Lan took a deep breath. She didn't expect her husband to leave so soon.

Gently stroke the empty area. Cold...

That meant the man had already left without waking her up. With a gentle and slow motion, Fu Xie Lan again rubbed the area.

"Don't die," she muttered, still staring and rubbing the already cold place.

Continued to caress it, until unconsciously, the girl's eyelids closed again, ignoring the cold air that hit her shoulders and back which were not covered by a single thread.

Fu Xie Lan fell back asleep.

Without the girl knowing, it turns out that the figure of a man in the corner of the room has been watching her since earlier. The dim light that filled the room made his whereabouts very difficult to spot, especially since the man was far behind Fu Xie Lan.

He is Gu Yi. The man was just about to leave after he had satisfied seeing Fu Xie Lan's face but stopped when he suddenly felt a slight movement from his little wife.

With a slow-motion, Gu Yi returned to the figure who was already asleep on the bed, lifted the edge of the blanket, and covered his little wife's exposed body.

He kissed her briefly, "I won't die, honey. I promise."

"With your strength now, unattended, you'll be fine," he muttered then turned around and left.

***

Knock...knock...knock...

A knock on the door in the morning filled the room on the second floor of Elder Chen's residence.

"Xie Lan..."

"Xie Lan... You're awake?" A young man's voice sounded from outside Fu Xie Lan's room.

He is Wan Lie, the young man who visited his mother's room after a long wait. Since earlier, everyone had gathered downstairs, waiting for the girl to come out of her room.

However, since there were no signs of her appearing, Wan Lie decided to see her mother.

Last night Gu Yi entered his room and said that he would be gone for a while.

Although Wan Lie had protested, in the end, the young man agreed, and entrusted his mother to Hao, the magic beast he was currently with.

...

Wan Lie then scanned the surroundings, when he saw no one but himself, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Mom, you haven't woken up yet?" the young man shouted, sounding somewhat stifled.

Wan Lie put his ear to the door, didn't hear any sound, he knocked again.

"Mom, everyone's waiting downstairs," he shouted again.

He wanted to put his ear to the door again but stopped.

The door suddenly opened and revealed the figure of Fi Xie Lan, complete with a silver mask that covered a third of her face. Only showing one of her beautiful eyes and half of her tiny lips.

"Good morning, Mom," Wan Lie greeted Fu Xie Lan.

"Erm, morning," replied the girl casually.

"Did you sleep well, Mom?" asked the young man again, his eyes wildly scanning Fu Xie Lan's surroundings.

Wan Lie couldn't find his father anywhere. Right now, did that mean he should feel happy? Or sad? He didn't know, it feels like the two things are mixed in him.

"Em," Fu Xie Lan replied.

"Everyone is waiting for you downstairs, Mom," said Wan Lie.

"Is that true?"

"Yes, I am. Aren't you going to fairy territory today? Master Liu has been waiting since earlier," replied Wan Lie.

Hearing that, Fu Xie Lan sighed, how could she forget about her plans for today?

Since waking up from her sleep, Fu Xie Lan's mind has only been filled with that figure, Gu Yi. Maybe that's why for a moment she forgot what she wanted to do today.

"Hmm, alright, let's go downstairs," said Fu Xie Lan then stepped out, walking ahead of Wan Lie.

Her steps suddenly stopped, a small creature with soft fur suddenly jumped onto the girl's shoulder.

'I miss you so much, Miss,' Hao's voice buzzed in Fu Xie Lan's mind.

'Hmm, how was your time with Wan Lie?' Fu Xie Lan replied then resumed walking after stroking Hao's head which was on her shoulder.

'Not as good as when I was with you, Miss," Hao replied with a sigh.

'Even though the mana in Wan Lie's body is bigger than mine.'

'Still won't change anything, Miss. You are my Master, and there is nothing more comfortable than when I am always by your side, with you everywhere, Miss," Hao chatted in the girl's mind, and it managed to make a Fu Xie Lan smile.

If other people saw it, they might think that Fu Xie Lan was a little crazy because there was no wind and no rain, the girl suddenly smiled to herself.

'Does that mean you're comfortable now?' asked Fu Xie Lan, her steps not slowing down in the slightest as she descended the stairs.

'You're right, Miss,' Hao replied.

'The man told me to look after you, Miss, but even if he doesn't say it, I was a magic beast who has made a contract with you will still do that, protect Miss by risking everything I have,' Hao said at length as he felt a little gloom in his Master's heart.

Hearing Hao's words swirling in her head, Fu Xie Lan was silent and didn't respond anymore.

When her steps reached the last step, her eyes met with several people who suddenly stood up when they saw her arrival.
