REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"Let it go, maybe that person is in a hurry," said Fu Xie Lan to Gu Yi and made the man stop his intentions.

Fu Xie Lan has walked again, suddenly stopped. She felt a lump stick right under her feet. The girl raised her foot to see what she was stepping on.

A brown scroll entered her view, the size was approx along the palm of her hand. Without hesitation, Fu Xie Lan grabbed the scroll and opened it.

Fu Xie Lan's brow furrowed at the contents of the scroll that had been opened.

Empty.

The scroll was blank, like white paper that had not been stained with ink.

Seeing the scroll, Gu Yi immediately snatched it from Fu Xie Lan's hands. The man moved to find sufficient lighting. Fu Xie Lan who didn't understand the man's attitude frowned and followed behind him.

"Hey, what are you doing?" said the girl confused.

"Take a look at this," Gu Yi exclaimed without turning his head towards Fu Xie Lan.

"THEFIRSTPIECESOFTHERUBYSTARSTONEWEREINTHEHUMANRACE."

Fu Xie Lan muttered as she read a text that was written on the paper. She was stunned to read this, suddenly she took the scroll in Gu Yi's hand and read it again, just to make sure that what was written in the paper was true and not her hallucination.

Hearing Fu Xie Lan read the sentence over and over again, Gu Yi was silent, his eyes didn't move from the scroll as if he was thinking about something.

"Ruby Star Stones?" he said with one eyebrow raised.

Fu Xie Lan suddenly raised her head and turned to Gu Yi. She looked at him intently then nodded as if answering the man's question.

"What's with that thing?" he asked Fu Xie Lan, but the girl didn't pay any heed because she was currently looking in all directions as if she was looking for something.

"Do you think the person who bumped into me earlier dropped it on purpose?" asked Fu Xie Lan.

"Maybe? Why? Do I need to go after him/her?" Gu Yi asked the girl.

Fu Xie Lan shook her head, after all, even if the two of them chased after her, they wouldn't necessarily be able to find that person either because the traces were gone.

Gu Yi sighed, "What's with that thing, Honey?" Gu Yi asked then.

"No, it's nothing," said Fu Xie Lan.

Got a mysterious message again made many things suddenly pop up in her mind at this time. If before she still had doubts about the message, but this time not anymore. She suddenly became excited. She did not know who the person who was helping her secretly, but she was very sure that the person knew what was happening to her body more than herself.

Fu Xie Lan never thought she would get a clue like that so easily, before that she planned to look for clues about it and so far she has not received any clues because of the incident she experienced this afternoon. She didn't expect that something like this would happen when she didn't even have the intention of looking for anything about it, cause tonight she came out just for a walk and relax her body a bit.

Should she be grateful and feel happy? Of course. Won't this save time? The Silver Blood Moon is about to happen. She didn't want to disappear. Even so, Fu Xie Lan still felt a little scared, afraid that she wouldn't have enough time to find the eight pieces of the Ruby Star Stone.

"Are you alright?" Gu Yi's voice broke the girl's daydream. Whether it was just the man's feelings or something, in his eyes, the girl seemed to be burdened with something. His hand moved slowly to Fu Xie Lan's body and brought her into his arms.

"Don't worry about anything, I'm here," he said meant to calm the girl's feelings. Whatever will happen he will always be near the girl until the seal on her body is gone.

Gu Yi was a little curious, what is the relationship between Ruby Star Stone and Fu Xie Lan?

Fu Xie Lan who received such treatment became a little awkward, not knowing how to respond. From the bottom of her heart, she somehow felt like she missed a hug like this. But to maintain her prestige, she tried to rebel even though her movements were so weak it seemed as if she was trying to say that she wanted to stay in that position longer.

"Alright, alright. I will let go of my arms, but I want you to answer one thing," Gu Yi said slightly loosening his embrace.

The girl stopped struggling, waiting for Gu Yi to speak again.

"Does that Ruby Star Stone have anything to do with you?" Gu Yi said after a few seconds of silence. His tone was very smooth.

Felt the nod of the girl in his arms, making Gu Yi fall silent again. His previously warm gaze suddenly turned cold and piercing.

"Can you tell me a little bit about it?" The man asked again.

Fu Xie Lan didn't respond and just kept quiet. She was a little doubtful, would it be okay if she told what was going on inside her? Tell him about the seal and the mysterious message she received a few days ago? They had just met, although the girl felt a little comfortable around him, for some reason she still felt doubtful.

"Don't worry, I can be the first person you can trust in this world," Gu Yi said again when he heard no response from the girl even though he had waited a few minutes.

"Maybe I can help you," he added, instantly making the girl in his arms lift her head and look at him.

"Is it true?" asked Fu Xie Lan in a slightly hoarse tone of voice. Since receiving the mysterious message for the second time, she felt her body limp. Mixed feelings of pleasure and fear raged inside her causing her joints and emotions to be disturbed.

Happy to have found clues about the seal on her body and afraid that she will not collect the ruby ​​star stone pieces shortly.

A sigh escaped the girl's lips, her feelings suddenly became this chaotic even though she had been so excited before.

Hearing the girl respond, Gu Yi nodded with a gentle smile on his lips. He could feel that Fu Xie Lan was not okay because at this time her demeanor was so calm, very different from usual which always rebelled to escape from his grip and protested if he touched her.

"I-I'm scared."

"I'm afraid to disappear," said the girl leaning her head on Gu Yi's chest.

Reflexively, Gu Yi's jaw tightened at the girl's words. He's not so stupid as to quickly digest everything.

Based on the girl's words, he firmly believed that the ruby ​​star stone was closely related to the soul cover rune seal on Fu Xie Lan's body.
