REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

Wearing the dress which was of the same color as before, Fu Xie Lan reached into the cosmic pouch hanging from her waist and took out a face-covering of the same color as the dress she was wearing.

Her hair, which still looked wet, fell just like that, occasionally seen drops of water falling from it.

Hao was also clean from the bloodstains that filled his body, the appearance of the little creature was the same as before, with white fur that was very clean, but still a little drenched because it had not dried completely.

Seeing the sun was getting dimmer, the girl moved from the river bank.

Cit.... cit...

Cit... cit...

Suddenly a voice caught Fu Xie Lan's attention, the girl stopped her steps and immediately looked for the source of the sound.

Her brow furrowed, as her violet eyes caught the presence of a bird.

The winged creature was the same bird that had brought her to the shore of the lake.

With determined steps, Fu Xie Lan approached the bird, intending to touch it, but she hadn't even moved her hand and the creature had already flown, landing on top of Hao's body.

Fu Xie Lan was no longer surprised to see the creature's behavior because, from the first time she met it, it had a very different behavior from the other animals she usually met.

"You follow me?" Fu Xie Lan muttered as if she was talking to the bird.

Finished saying that, Fu Xie Lan looked up, her current spot was right below the edge of the core region. To get to the top, maybe she should move away from her current position a bit? Because if you fly straight vertically, then it will be very troublesome.

***

Landing her feet on a hill that wasn't too high, Fu Xie Lan could see the entirety of the core region.

The green robe she was wearing fluttered against the cardinal directions. Her long jet black hair seemed to occasionally touch her pair of wings.

Staying in her position for a few minutes, Fu Xie Lan scanned the entire core region.

The view is not much different from the inner region. Seeing the majestic building in the middle of the core region, Fu Xie Lan could immediately guess that it was a palace, along with several other buildings that entered her view.

"Where do you think the ruby ​​star stone is?" the monologue.

Fu Xie Lan suddenly became confused, where should she start looking for that thing?

Her free hand reached into her cosmic pocket and took out a Voltex from it, using only one hand, she managed to open it and there was a piece of ruby ​​star stone there.

Shimmering slightly from the moonlight shining on it.

Just stared at the object briefly then put it back into her cosmic pouch.

cit... cit...

cit... cit...

The bird flew to Fu Xie Lan's side.

The girl just turned her head and took a deep breath.

"Okay, let's start from here," she said to herself then slowly flapped her wings, flying a little lower and slowing down a bit.

However, who would have thought that the bird that had been following her since yesterday would suddenly fly ahead of her.

The girl's brow furrowed, "Where are you going?"

As if understanding Fu Xie Lan's words, the winged creature only turned its body for a moment and then flew back into flight.

If only it was an ordinary bird, perhaps Fu Xie Lan would not be confused. But the creature is different, because the bird so that now she can have wings. And now? She didn't know where else the creature will take her.

Fu Xie Lan followed the bird without a second thought. Putting aside her original purpose, because she also felt a little curious about where the creature would take her this time.

Yes, and only then will she return to her original purpose, looking for pieces of the ruby ​​star stone.

The longer Fu Xie Lan followed the creature, the more her brows furrowed.

Why did the creature she followed seem to already know the area in the core region?

Flying between the hills, trees, and even over the side of the cliff below which there is an elongated stream.

Until several hours had passed, Fu Xie Lan could feel Hao's fur had dried completely from the wind, and the softness of his fur had also returned.

The girl's violet eyes gleamed, she planned to use the power of her eyes to see everything that was happening around her. Just in case, because she doesn't know much about this area. The mana flow she had felt from the first time she set foot in the core region was extremely dense, but no matter how they said this region had a lot of mana content, it was still nothing compared to the mana content in the Dark Zore.

Continued to fly without rest until late at night. The bird didn't stop either.

'Where is the bird taking me?'

A rough sigh escaped from between Fu Xie Lan's lips, however, she continued to follow the creature.

If this continues, it will take up a lot of time. She had thought before that the creature would only take her to a place not far away, but it seemed that her guess was wrong.

So far, there is no sign that the bird will stop.

Fu Xie Lan thought for a moment, Did she just stop following the bird? And return to the original goal?

Although what she was currently doing included exploring the inner fairy region, but did such an object exist in a place like this?

It seemed very unlikely because there was no sign of the fairy during her journey following the bird.

While what she meant by exploring the core region before was by moving from one place to another, and of course the inhabited areas. Sneaking from building to building, looking for signs of the existence of pieces of ruby ​​star stone, who knows among the fairies who inhabit the core area, some have pieces of these objects. Instead of exploring an area that is completely devoid of life like this.

Fu Xie Lan was still struggling with her thoughts, she suddenly realized one thing, and it managed to slow her down a bit, the feeling of being followed that had always haunted her all this time was gone. She didn't know since when. She didn't know.

Flying between the two sides of the cliff, one could see that the girl's speed suddenly slowed down, but only a few seconds later, she flew back as before.

'Does that mean the person following me is gone?'

Fu Xie Lan suddenly had another guess, one that might sound a little crazy.

Did the bird take it on purpose to fly to places like this?

Did the creature know the figure following her?

Or, or...

All kinds of guesses popped up in her mind, filling it to the brim.

Until she concluded that even she found it hard to believe.

"Could it be that the bird was sent by someone?" monologue without reducing the speed.
