REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"And thank you for freeing me from those shackles," he added with a body that once again bowed in respect.

"What do you mean? I didn't do anything," Fu Xie Lan replied. Now the girl was very sure that the voice she heard earlier belonged to Ling, the lotus boy in front of her. But why didn't Hao feel anything before?

But suddenly Ling's little body collapsed even though he hadn't answered the girl's question. Fu Xie Lan panicked and immediately lifted him surprisingly light body onto the bed and laid him there.

The sound of the window suddenly opening made the girl startled and immediately turned around, finding Gu Yi entering the room made her alertness fade.

"What happened, Queen?" he asked then approached Fu Xie Lan, a few minutes ago he felt great energy coming from the girl's room, but only a few moments later it disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the green-haired boy lying unconscious on the bed made him stop in his steps.

"Who is that boy?" the man asked again, slowly he came closer and touched the boy's feet.

"I don't know, he suddenly appeared from inside the fruit you gave me earlier."

"Has he been like this since his appearance?" Gu Yi asked closer to where Fu Xie Lan was.

"No, he spoke a few words and then fell unconscious, I don't know what happened to him," said Fu Xie Lan in a slightly trembling voice. The girl was a little worried about the boy, her round adorable face made Fu Xie Lan feel sad.

"He's dying," Gu Yi said and at the same time, Fu Xie Lan turned to him.

"What do you mean?" Fu Xie Lan asked confused because she didn't feel any strangeness in Ling's body before the boy fell unconscious.

"I can feel his spirit shrinking little by little."

'That's right, Miss. Before, his body wasn't this small either," said Hao in Fu Xie Lan's mind.

'Huh? Is it true? Then why is his body like this?'

'That was the impact of the shrinking of his spirit. If I'm not mistaken, maybe this has happened to him for hundreds of years, and now is the peak,' Hao said again, making the girl more confused.

'One thing I don't understand, Miss. why can a spirit like him exist in a place like this?'

'Are you saying that he shouldn't live in this world?'

'That's right, Miss. Previously we lived in the same world. The world of spirits, a place that had such a high flow of mana, surpassed the Dark Zore. What's different from us is magic beast spirits like me when the time comes, we have to make a contract with a mage to gain eternal life, whereas plant spirits like that lotus spirit, don't need a contractor to live eternally. They live like people in this world without any obligation to make a contract with someone, or in other words, it's their choice, and as far as I know, there has never been a history for a plant spirit to leave the spirit world,' Hao explained at length. He also felt confused and did not even expect that what he would meet was a plant spirit.

'Plant spirit? Are there many of them?'

'That's right, Miss. Lotus spirit is the only one,' Hao answered immediately.

Spirit world. As the name suggests, the world is a place for spirits to live, be it plant, animal, or human spirits. The spirits of the humans will be rest in there until they were a time for them to be reincarnated again. As for plant or animal spirits, death for them is to disappear into nothingness. As happened to Ling the lotus spirit. Right now the creature is dying and maybe soon he will disappear and become nothingness.

"What should I do?" said Fu Xie Lan turning to Gu Yi.

"You want to save him?"

Fu Xie Lan nodded.

Gu Yi was silent for a moment, it was very easy if he wanted to save the lotus spirit. He only needed his ruby ​​pendant, but the problem was that it was with Fu Xie Lan. He was afraid that if he removed the ruby ​​pendant from the girl's body, the seal would react very quickly.

Even so, it was the only way he knew. The ruby ​​pendant has the function of restoring the soul/spirit that is injured or dying for the wearer, it's just that it doesn't work on Fu Xie Lan's body because both souls are fine but one of them is sealed, so the pendant can only protect that girl of from sick of the seal of the soul cover rune that was confining one of her souls.

"I don't know how, Queen," Gu Yi replied with a sigh. He had to lie to her because he didn't want to see her hurt.

Hearing the man's answer, Fu Xie Lan let out a rough breath.

'Do you know a way to save him?' He asked Hao who was standing right next to Ling.

'Sorry, Miss. I didn't know it either.'

Fu Xie Lan was frustrated to hear that, even though this was her first meeting with Ling, but somehow she couldn't bear to see the creature injured like this.

The girl then sat down next to Ling with a pitying look. Her hand moved slowly to caress the boy's round face which looks very adorable. Her hand doesn't stop there. The girl then got up and stroked his hair gently hoping to ease the boy's suffering a little. Rub it slowly.

"Ahhhh."

"Ahhhh." Her hand was accidentally pierced by a small thorn that turned out to be between the tiny flowers of a coiled plant that looked more like a crown on Ling's head.

Seeing that, Gu Yi panicked and immediately pulled Fu Xie Lan's hand from there. The girl's blood dripped little by little and without them knowing, a drop of the girl's blood fell right on Ling's lips and seeped there, no one knows.

"Be careful, Queen."

"Slow down, it looks like the tip of the thorn is a little left there," said Fu Xie Lan when she saw Gu Yi sucking the blood on one of his fingertips to stop the bleeding. She had not noticed before that thing that looked like a crown had small thorns.

The two of them were not aware of the changes that had occurred to Ling's body. Including Hao who also focused on his Miss.

"It's fine now," said Fu Xie Lan then pulled her hand away from the man's lips. She couldn't hide the red hue that was printed on her cheeks.

Seeing that, Gu Yi chuckled and ruffled Fu Xie Lan's hair.

'Miss, Look!
