REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"Momo ... What did I just see?" he asked without turning his attention to the girl who was in pain.

"Is it my eyesight that is problematic?" he added. ​​

"Shhh ... Keep your voice down," said Bai Mo as he put his index finger on his lips. Saying so, he pulled Bai Xue away and left the place.

"We will find out later, what you witnessed earlier you should keep it a secret until this task is completed."

#Elder Chen's residence

It was already daytime, for some reason Fu Xie Lan felt very excited today. Her steps followed Wan Lie who walked into a room, and here she was. A not-so-spacious private room with brown nuances belonged to Elder Chen.

"Some of these books might answer your questions about this world," said Elder Chen sorting books to give to Fu Xie Lan. Wan Lie who saw the book handed to Fu Xie Lan immediately took over.

"I'll do it, these books are very heavy."

Fu Xie Lan only nodded at Wan Lie's words.

"It may take you a few days or even a few weeks to finish everything, won't you be bored?" Elder Chen asked, glancing at the books that were already in Wan Lie's hands.

Each book describes one race. Vampire, Werewolf, Neptune, Fairy, Wizard, Lucifer, Human, while Demon? There is not much information about it. All they know is one, the Demon race is the strongest of all races.

If that was him, it might take him a week just to finish one book.

"Thank you uncle, but may I ask for something more?"

The corner of one of Elder Chen's brows raised, confused. He glanced at Wan Lie, got a nod from the young man, which meant he had to comply with all of Fu Xie Lan's requests. He came back saying "say, what is it?"

"Uncle Huang Bao told me earlier that he will give me a job while studying about this world, I want to make money," said Fu Xie Lan as friendly as possible.

"Give you a job?"

Wan Lie who heard his mother's words, put on a displeased face. He was unwilling for his mother to do menial labor. Elder Chen, who had noticed the change in Wan Lie's face, panicked. He still wanted to live, he couldn't possibly dare to do things that son of Lord Gu Yi didn't like.

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

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, the old man whose name was just called Fu Xie Lan walked into the room.

"Ah ... it turns out that you are here," he said casually as he grabbed a chair not far from him.

"What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?" Elder Bao asked as Elder Chen's sharp gaze fell on him.

"Little Xie Lan said that you previously promised to give her a job?" Elder Chen said slowly as he caught a glimpse of the look on Wan Lie's face, afraid that what he said was something wrong.

"Ah yes, right. I haven't thought about it, what if ..."

"No, do not!" cut elder Chen.

"Little Xie Lan, why do you want to work? If you need something, we will give it to you for free," he added.

"No, uncle. I don't want to burden you too much, giving me a place to live makes me very happy. That's more than enough for me. "

"Don't say that, and I don't accept rejection," Elder Chen said firmly.

"Tell me, what do you need?" he asked again.

Elder Bao immediately fell silent. Suddenly he realized his mistake. Lord Gu Yi's son cared about this girl and he almost made a mistake. Even though Wan Lie didn't say it outright, his attitude towards Fu Xie Lan was enough to explain that he didn't like it when that girl did such a difficult job

"Thank you in advance uncle," although Fu Xie Lan was not used to saying thank you, she had to learn to get used to it. The conditions in this world were very different from those in the previous world.

"I need some new clothes and some herbs, can I get some?"

"Oh sure, I will soon change the clothes in your wardrobe with new ones."

"No, not clothes like that, Uncle."

"Then?" asked Elder Chen, confused.

"I want clothes that are comfortable on my body when I wear them, wearing a dress like this makes me a little uncomfortable because it interferes with my movements," replied Fu Xie Lan while shaking her dress.

"Well, regarding the herbs you want, maybe Elder Bao can help you," said Elder Chen then looked at Huang Bao.

"Oh sure, I happen next week I want to visit the city of Kanca. You write down the list of herbs you want and then give it to me, I happen to need some herb too."

Huang Bao was curious about this girl who suddenly wanted herbs, but he chose not to ask any further. 'Maybe the girl has her own goals,' he thought.

"Kanca City? Where is it? Is it far from here, Uncle?"

"It's not too far, it only takes half a day to travel, but if I use teleportation paper then the distance won't be a barrier."

"Kanca city is a city that is not included in the territory of any race, you could say this city is free, all beings are there and free to interact with other races with their respective goals. It's just that, this city has strict rules. In this city we can also find items belonging to every race being sold," Huang Bao explained at length.

"Can I come along, uncle? Now and then I want to see what kind of place it is, who knows it can help me recover my memory," said Fu Xie Lan as if she had lost her memory.

Instantly Elder Chen and Elder Huang Bao glanced at each other and simultaneously looked at Wan Lie. Wan Lie, who understood the meaning of that gaze, immediately nodded in agreement.

"Very well, you can come with me. But before leaving, don't forget to take this pill," said Elder Bao then reached into his pants pocket, took out a small porcelain bottle, and gave it to Fu Xie Lan.

"It's a scent pill, it will mask the human scent in your body," he added.

"Thank you, Uncle."

After finishing, Fu Xie Lan left the room and returned to her room with a very satisfying feeling, Wan Lie followed behind her while carrying several books that Elder Chen had given her. Xie Lan's steps were so relaxed and so carefree, that she couldn't wait to read all of those books right away.

"Em, can I ask you something, Mom?" said Wan Lie suddenly made Fu Xie Lan turn to him.

"Hmmm?"

"What do you want herbs for?"

"For myself," replied Fu Xie Lan firmly.

"…" Tilting his head, Wan Lie gave a confused look.

"Err ... Look at my face, my skin. All this is bad, I need that plant because I want to take care of myself," he said pointing to his face and skin on his wrist.

"But in my opinion, you are very beautiful," said Wan Lie teasing his mother a little.

"I don't want to look pretty, I just don't like it if my skin is like this, unkempt, ah whatever."

"Oh right, Wan Lie. Can I borrow something from you?" Fu Xie Lan added and turned back to Wan Lie.

"Is that, Mom? Tell me."

"I want some of your clothes, at least until I have the clothes I want myself."

"Eh, but mom, a woman wearing men's clothes will look weird, the clothes you wear now are just right and make you very beautiful,"

"You don't want to lend it to me?"

"No, that's not what I meant mom. It's just that it will look weird, are you sure? "

"Are you sure? hahaha since in organi ... Uh I mean, why am I wearing clothes that will only look pretty to other people's eyes if it doesn't make me comfortable? I live for myself not for anyone else. So why do I think about them? as long as they don't bother me then it's fine," said Fu Xie Lan then quickened her pace because she was just about to say something she shouldn't have said.

"Okay, if you want it, why not?" shouted Wan Lie following his mother who was already some distance away from him.

Fu Xie Lan who heard that only smiled a little.

What a filial son.

But that smile was only seconds away when she suddenly realized that since when had she become so friendly with other people.
