REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"Where are you going, Honey?" the sound coming from the side startled her. One of her hands moved to her chest in surprise.

Turning to the source of the voice, Fu Xie Lan found the perverted man again and he is smiling at her.

"None of your business," she replied curtly.

Fu Xia Lan then walked past Gu Yi without even looking back as if she didn't care about the man's presence. She then checked the situation in the front yard of the inn, right at the gate stood two guards as said by the person who escorted them to the inn, it seemed they were very serious about guarding the inn.

As expected, she couldn't get out through the gate. Fu Xie Lan then turned around and walked towards the wall railing that was only a few meters above her head.

Just as she was preparing to jump over the wall, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her from the side and carried her body over the wall. Landing very slowly on the inn next door, Fu Xie Lan turned to the side and found Gu Yi with her. The man then immediately withdrew her hand very carefully towards the gate of the inn which turned out to be no one on guard.

Feeling her hand in the man's grip, Fu Xie Lan wanted to rebel. She is still able to walk without being guided like that.

"Shhh," Gu Yi turned around and prevented the girl who seemed to want to protest again.

"Don't protest, Honey," Gu Yi whispered pulling Fu Xie Lan closer to her.

Fu Xie Lan just obeyed, the corner of her eye just caught someone entering the inn's door and it is making her obey the perverted man she didn't know the name of until now.

They then left the location of the inn without being seen by anyone, after walking a bit away from there, Fu Xie Lan removed her hand from the perverted man and walked ahead at a slightly fast pace.

"Wait for me."

"Hey, wait. Where are you going?" Gu Yi immediately matched his footsteps with Fu Xie Lan's.

Fu Xie Lan did not answer. Her plan to go out to look around Kanca City at night alone had vanished because of the presence of a man who for some reason always appeared around her.

"Don't you have anything else to do but follow me?" The girl's steps suddenly stopped and immediately turned to face Gu Yi, looking at him annoyed.

"No, I don't," the man replied firmly.

"Eiisshhh," Fu Xie Lan hissed then continued on her way.

Gu Yi smiled at the girl's behavior, he then slightly distanced himself from Fu Xie Lan and walked behind, following her.

Stepping on the edge of the street which was about five hundred meters from the inn, only a few people were entering Fu Xie Lan's sight. The sound of nocturnal animals that resonate with each other with the sound of horse-drawn carriages passing fills the highway in her's path.

A horse carriage stopped in front of a rather tall building making Fu Xie Lan's steps stop. Seeing someone getting off the carriage made a faint smile appear on her luscious lips. Back moving with a slightly faster pace, the girl approached the train driver after confirming that there were no passengers in it.

"Sir," called Fu Xie Lan making an old man turn his head towards her. He was the driver of the train.

"To the city center, how much fee?" asked Fu Xie Lan again.

"Two mana stones, Master," replied the man kindly.

Hearing this, the girl immediately turned to Gu Yi who was beside her, looking at him with a smile on her lips.

"Why Honey?" asked Gu Yi who saw the girl's unusual behavior.

"You pay, okay?" said Fu Xie Lan immediately entered the carriage without waiting for the man to answer her question.

"Don't worry, I'll replace it ten times as soon as I have a lot of mana stones," said Fu Xie Lan from inside the carriage. Just a few stones, that's not much. She firmly believed that she could possess such a large number of things through her abilities. Maybe by selling the pills she made? For some reason, thinking about pills made her a little excited.

She became impatient with tomorrow. Huang Bao had told her beforehand that they were going to the biggest herbal shop in Kanca Town. The only thing she was afraid of was that her mana stones wouldn't be enough to buy all the plants she needed.

Gu Yi also entered the carriage after giving the mana stone to the driver, and a moment later the carriage quickly sped through the highway and overtook another carriage. It was all because of Fu Xie Lan's request who wanted him to reach the city center quickly.

There was no conversation going on between Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi on the carriage. They were both silent, lost in their thoughts.

The path they took was slightly different from before, Fu Xie Lan didn't take her eyes off the knick-knacks that adorned along the way. She encountered various types of statues and symbols of each race. Some glistened in the light and others just looked like ordinary statues. Her eyes also caught a swarm of fireflies surrounding the trees, some of which seemed to be swerving and gathering gnawing at the leafy leaves of the trees. When viewed from afar, the scene would look more like a tree lamp.

Unlike Gu Yi, the man's eyes never left Fu Xie Lan.

"It's here, sir," said the old man after stopping the carriage.

Fu Xie Lan who heard this was a little disappointed, she still wanted to enjoy the view from the top of the carriage and it was now over. A harsh sigh escaped her lips. Meanwhile, Gu Yi got off the carriage following Fu Xie Lan.

The two of them returned to walking aimlessly because at this moment Fu Xie Lan just wanted to enjoy the night air of Kanca City. Walked among the people who were mostly wearing red robes, making the blue robes they wore so conspicuous because they were the only two in wizard robes in the place. Various pairs of eyes occasionally stole glances at the two people.

Even so, Fu Xie Lan continued to walk, looking very relaxed, ignoring the gazes of the people at her.

It turned out that even though it was so late, there were still many people who were still busy with their own business as if they didn't need a break at all.

Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi continued walking until they unknowingly found themselves in a rather quiet place. Only a few people were passing by and the horse carriage was nowhere to be seen again.

Suddenly a shadow appeared in a flash, smashed into Fu Xie Lan from the side, and making her lose her balance. Luckily, Gu Yi caught her body immediately, preventing her from falling.

Immediately Gu Yi wanted to chase after that person but his hand was tightly gripped by Fu Xie Lan.

"Let it go, maybe that person is in a hurry," said Fu Xie Lan to Gu Yi.
