Chapter 69 - 69. Misunderstand
Suddenly, enormous mana appeared from where Fu Xie Lan was, accompanied by light with some black mist flickering faintly.
.
.
All of the magical beasts that were ready to prey on Fu Xie Lan were now blown away, as were the few remaining dragons that were thrown away with a roar of pain.
Hao who heard the dragon roar opened his eyes slowly. It was clear that a man in a maroon robe was standing majestically in the air. His gray hair that was blown by the wind added a regal impression to him.
Gray eyes that matched his hair stared furiously at the magical beast that reached his sight. Just moving his palm and all of the magical beasts were blown away without leaving a trace causing splashes of blood to fill the air and the ground.
Hao who witnessed everything was both amazed and horrified.
Several dragons and magical beasts that were still alive again tried to approach Fu Xie Lan, but they had not even moved a few meters and their body had already decayed to the ground with black flames gnawing at their body.
It only lasted a few seconds until there were no more magical beasts left.
Only the fishy smell of blood mixed with the distinctive smell of rain remained. The rumbling began to subside, the lightning and thunder also began to recede and was only heard occasionally.
The gray-haired man then turned around and found Hao lying helplessly on a large rock not far from Fu Xie Lan.
He looks very angry, and it managed to frighten Hao.
"Tsk looks like there are still small creatures left here," he said then approached Hao.
"Say, would you rather be burned? Or skinned alive?" he said again.
Hao\'s body then floated, like an invisible finger was lifting his body.
But only for a few seconds, his body was thrown and hit a large rock and it managed to break his ribs. The gaping scratches on his body looked wide open. But it didn\'t stop the gray-haired man from continuing his act, torturing Hao before killing him.
"How about playing around with me a weak creature?" he said then a small smile appeared on his lips.
"I thought, if I didn\'t come on time, maybe my girl would have been killed in the hands of you and your friends, tsk," he added again and then his palm gave off a black flame. He intended to burn Hao alive.
"You see your friend over there, the fire that filled their body would never be extinguished, nor could it kill them. Only pain for the rest of their life will be felt," said the man with the gray hair. Hao was in front of him. Staring at the man in fear.
He seemed to have misunderstood, but how would Hao explain it? While his mana has been drained out there is nothing left. It was very difficult to even take a breath.
Fate has come here. Succes the protecting Fu Xie Lan was enough to make his as a contract beast a bit happy, yes even though he ended up tragically at the hands of a person who seemed to be very protective of his Miss.
His eyes slowly closed, with tears that seemed to drip down his already very messy fur. Hao has given up. Yes, whatever happens to him, it has become his destiny and cannot be contested.
The black flames that filled the gray-haired man\'s palm were ready to burn Hao\'s body, and the second after that the black flames rushed to the creature\'s body very quickly.
Hao Surrender, asking for his Miss\'s help is already impossible.
"Stop!" Someone\'s hysterical scream made the black flames that were only a few centimeters away from Hao\'s body instantly stop in midair.
Hao who heard a familiar voice tickle his senses immediately opened his eyes.
And suddenly what he saw made him breathe a sigh of relief.
His Miss was awake, Fu Xie Lan had woken up from her training.
With lightning speed, Fu Xie Lan immediately approached Hao and lifted him slowly, carrying him into his arms very carefully.
"Queen, what are you doing? This creature almost endangered your life."
Hearing a gentle voice of a man-made Fu Xie Lan avert her eyes. And what she met was a very handsome man, a gray hair with matching eyes looked very beautiful in her eyes, his broad chest with such a strong jaw would probably make anyone who saw him be captivated by him. But not for Fu Xie Lan. To her, the man in front of her was extremely dangerous. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was that man trying to harm Hao, the magic beast spirit she had made a contract with.
Fu Xie Lan then took a few steps back and then stepped aside, the waterfall that previously seemed to have stopped and frozen in the air suddenly tumbled down like a waterfall in general and it managed to make the clothes and body of the gray hair man drenched,
Only a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his lips and soon followed Fu Xie Lan who was already at the river bank.
Fu Xie Lan who saw the man following her immediately put Hao under the tree and headed for the man with the gray hair. A wary look was evident in her eyes.
"Who are you?" shouted Fu Xie Lan towards the man, her head slightly raised as her height only reached the man\'s chest.
It didn\'t take long, without waiting for the man to reply, Fu Xie Lan attacked the man with all her might. The corpses of magical beasts lying around her made her even more convinced that the man she was currently fighting was extremely dangerous. Luckily she woke up early, otherwise, she couldn\'t imagine what he would do to Hao.
Several minutes had passed, but Fu Xie Lan did not stop her movement and continued to attack the man blindly. But somehow, the man just kept dodging her attacks without any intention of attacking her and instead turned to look at Fu Xie Lan with a slight smile that almost shook the girl\'s concentration.
Hao who watched his Miss and that man fight, no, to be more precise, Fu Xie Lan who was busy alone attacking the man, made him put on a pitiful expression.
Hao wanted to stop the two of them but how was he supposed to explain the misunderstanding?
Hao then sighed resignedly and only hoped that the two people wouldn\'t hurt each other.
His head drooped to the ground because now that he had reached his limit, it was possible that he would return to his deep slumber if not treated immediately.
While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan who was too focused on the man didn\'t pay attention to where her feet were and managed to make her body lose its balance.
Swiftly, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, preventing her from falling and bringing her body into the man\'s arms.
"Looks like your body needs rest, Queen," he said then lifted Fu Xie Lan\'s small body without the owner\'s permission in a bridal style. A faint smile etched on his lips added to his handsomeness which managed to make Fu Xie Lan stunned for a moment.
