Chapter 129 - 129. Golden Aswagandha Pill (2)
As long as the wizard race existed in the Artland World, no one had yet made a pill of such purity except for one person. She is the queen of Yu Yi.
With very slow movements, Fu Xie Lan took out a small empty porcelain bottle from her cosmic pouch then filled it with her handcrafted golden aswagandha pill, leaving only one pill for her to consume now.
Wan Lie who saw Fu Xie Lan finish making a pill was silent.
"Can you give this to Xue Ning?" asked Fu Xie Lan handing a small porcelain bottle containing three pills.
"Did you make this pill for that girl?"
"No, I made it for myself, it's just that I want to share it a bit," Fu Xie Lan replied quickly.
"Hurry up, before the waitress come back," she added.
"Okay Mom," Wan Lie replied immediately reaching for the porcelain bottle that was thrust at him.
The waitress who had visited them earlier said that no one should leave the room they were staying in until the entire room had been inspected. And that was why Fu Xie Lan asked Wan Lie to immediately give Xue Ning the pill before the waitress came to avoid suspicion.
She could have given the pill to Xue Ning when they left the lily inn, but she was afraid of forgetting it.
***
Xue Ning who was just about to fall asleep immediately opened her eyelids when the door to her room suddenly opened.
Wan Lie standing there made her vigilance disappear. Twice the man entered her room at will, without knocking.
"This is for you," he said then threw a porcelain bottle at her.
Suddenly Xue Ning stood up and caught it with a confused look on her face.
"For me?" she asked, she didn't understand at all.
"From Xie Lan. Drink whenever you want," Wan Lie said in a cold voice then closed the door again. He didn't even care at all if the girl would understand what he said or not.
While on the other hand, Xue Ning, who was left alone, was annoyed, because it wasn't just once or twice that this man had treated her lightly.
Gazing at the golden-colored pill in her hand, the girl slowly opened the lid of the porcelain bottle and immediately a sweet smell wafted into her sense of smell.
Without hesitation, she took out a pill and consumed it. It smelled so good even when the pill had reached her throat. Even though she didn't know the benefits of the pill, remembering Fu Xie Lan's kindness to her made her trust the girl very much and didn't doubt her gift in the slightest.
While waiting for people who will examine her room, she lay back down on the bed. Whereas just a moment ago she wanted to visit Fu Xie Lan because she was so tired of being in that room.
Unlike Ju Xian, the man was cultivating to recover the mana in his body. Cultivation is a method used to increase strength, in this case also included in the restoration of strength by focusing the mind and breathing. An example was when Fu Xie Lan was in the Dark Zore to increase the mana in her body. Since the source of power in Artland is mana (life energy), people cultivate to upgrade or increase the flow of mana in their bodies.
Ju Xian had been cultivating since last night, and only paused for a moment when a waitress knocked on his door and gave him information about a murder that took place in the courtyard of the inn he was in and after the servant left, he resumed his cultivation.

"You also return to your room," said Fu Xie Lan without turning to the door that suddenly opened. Even Wan Lie hadn't stepped into the room and he was already kicked out of there.
"Wait a minute Mom, I still want to be here," replied Wan Lie, he is continuing his steps into the room and sitting on the only chair in the room. He couldn't get close to Fu Xie Lan when his father was with them. The man seemed very reluctant if someone approached the girl even if the person was their son.
Getting a chance alone with his mother, made Wan Lie feel happy. if he remembered, this was the first time he had this kind of time since his Father's existence.
"What are you thinking?" Wan Lie asked as he sat himself down on the chair. His eyes caught Fu Xie Lan's expression which was very different from usual and seemed to be weighed down by something. Even though his mother was wearing a mask, her gaze looked so different.
Fu Xie Lan didn't answer Wan Lie's question, she remained silent and only a harsh sigh could be heard escaping from the lips behind her mask. Her hand moved to caress Hao's hairy body which was in her arms, the creature is closing his eyes, lazing around.
Not getting any response, Wan Lie chose to remain silent and didn't ask any further.
For some reason, Fu Xie Lan always thought of Gu Yi.
'Who he is?'
'Why does his name sound so familiar to me?'
'And where is he now?'
Various questions filled her mind. She had never experienced anything like this, in her previous life she had always felt that thinking about a man was just a waste of time.
She didn't understand how she was feeling right now. All of this feels very new for her. Could it be because she was currently in a different world?
Fu Xie Lan's sense of hearing suddenly caught the footsteps that seemed to be coming from several people, the girl immediately turned around and faced Wan Lie
"You'd better go back to your room, those people are on their way here," said Fu Xie Lan.
Previously, when Wan Lie disobeyed her orders to return to his room, Fu Xie Lan quickly controlled her sense of hearing to allow her to hear any sound within the radius she wanted. Just in case some people head to the second floor. and yes, her senses are new just caught the sound of footsteps.
Hearing Fu Xie Lan's words, Wan Lie immediately got up from there and returned to his room.
Right after entering his room, several male wizards in blue robes set foot on the second floor and immediately spread out into the rooms to check it out.
