REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

"Of course, who else if not for you, there\'s no way I wear that dress," Gu Yi replied with his chin raised towards the pile of dresses that was right next to the girl.

Hearing that, Fu Xie Lan looked at Gu Yi fixedly. "How did you get all this?"

​​

"Don\'t worry, I\'m not as bad as you think," the man said. The girl breathed a sigh of relief hearing this.

"Thank you," replied Fu Xie Lan, immediately putting everything lying on the bed back into the cosmic bag, except for small red fruit, she put it on the table before putting all the things in.

\'Miss, I can\'t feel any energy from the fruit,\' Hao\'s voice buzzed in the girl\'s mind as her hands were still busy stuffing clothes that were who knows how many pieces into the bag.

\'Is it true?\'

\'That\'s right, Miss. Believe me. Maybe the man picked it up at random.\'

Fu Xie Lan\'s hands suddenly stopped, "Is this the biggest fruit on the plant?" She asked as she turned her head towards Gu Yi.

"What difference does it make, Queen?"

"Just answer yes or no?"

"Erm, I don\'t remember it. What\'s wrong with that fruit, Queen? I can take all the fruit if you want."

Hearing that, Fu Xie Lan let out a rough sigh. No wonder, her sense of hearing no longer heard the voice.

"No need," the girl refused.

Maybe she should just believe what Hao said? Even though she was very curious about the soul in the fruit. If only she had known that the man would take it for her, she might have asked to come along.

\'Hmm, it\'s okay. Maybe someday I\'ll be able to pick it up myself, somehow.\'

Time passes so quickly. Fu Xie Lan fell asleep after forcing Gu Yi to leave her room a while ago. Hao who was also in the same room did not close his eyes. Since earlier, his gaze has only been on the red fruit beside him.

Suddenly a strong wind blew, making the sound of the windows creaking shut, the candles that lit up the room were almost dimmed by the night breeze that escaped from the windows.

At the same time, all the feathers that filled Hao\'s body stood up as if defying gravity. The little creature accidentally touched a small fruit that was right next to it with its tail causing it to roll and fall from the nightstand.

Prang...!!!

Fu Xie Lan was startled and immediately woke up from her slumber. Her senses caught the sound of broken glass falling from a height, sounding very close to her.

\'What happened Hao?\'

\'Miss, I accidentally dropped the fruit.\'

Hearing this, Fu Xie Lan\'s eyes immediately glanced at the table where she had placed the fruit earlier and did not find it there.

\'Miss, take a look.\'

Immediately Fu Xie Lan turned her attention to the floor. There were small red shards scattered about with a similarly colored liquid filling the surroundings.

\'Why does it sound like glass falling?\' Her mind was confused because she had felt the chewy texture of the fruit before, could something like that make a loud sound when it collided with something hard? Or is it just her feeling?

Fu Xie Lan then took out a dress from her cosmic bag to clean the red stains that littered the floor.

Moving from her position on the bed, the girl bent down on the floor and began to clean the stains from the fruit fragments.

However, her hand hadn\'t even touched the red liquid and something happened. The red liquid as bright as blood suddenly shrunk at a speed that the eye could see. All the liquid that littered the floor seemed to move and gather at one point. It happened in about a minute.

Fu Xie Lan\'s eyes never left them, even the lingering drowsiness disappeared in an instant.

A red seed lay there. Yes, all the liquid has shrunk to form a small seed that is the same size and shape as a grain of rice.

\'Hao, do you know what happened?\' asked Fu Xie Lan to the little creature.

Receiving no response, the girl turned to the furry creature and found him standing warily.

\'Hao, what happened?\' She repeated.

\'Miss, be careful!\'

Fu Xie Lan who heard Hao\'s voice was shocked, she didn\'t have time to digest what happened and a golden light appeared right in front of her making her frown and raise her palm to block the extremely dazzling light from entering her eyes.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Nothing happened, the light that was so dazzling in the girl\'s eyes slowly dimmed.

Feeling the light go out, Fu Xie Lan lowered her hands and immediately opened her eyelids, of course in a very alert manner.

The first thing she saw was a small child with long, green hair, a plant with small flowers coiled right above his head like a crown.

At this moment, Fu Xie Lan didn\'t know how else to react. Everything that had happened just now confused her greatly.

\'Best regards from me, Miss.\'

The voice of a grown man tapped Fu Xie Lan\'s senses. Seeing only the three of them in the room made the girl frown. Did the voice come from the child in front of her?

The little boy who was previously squatting in front of her now slowly stood up and seemed to salute her. There was no mistaking it, the voice she had heard just now belonged to the boy.

"Wh-who are you?" Fu Xie Lan panicked immediately stood up from her position and subconsciously took a few steps back until she hit the foot of the bed.

"Introducing, I am Ling the Lotus Spirit," said the little boy with his body still lowered.

Hao who heard that suddenly jumped onto the green-haired boy\'s body.

\'Gosh, I thought who was that. It\'s you,\' Hao said to the boy as he landed his foot right on top of the boy\'s hair.

Of course, the boy who called himself Ling was shocked to suddenly receive such treatment.

"Hao?" said Ling as if he couldn\'t believe what he saw.

"Are you guys know each other?" asked Fu Xie Lan with furrowed brows in confusion.

Ling who heard Fu Xie Lan\'s words immediately raised his head, his height only reaching the girl\'s chest.

"Excuse my impoliteness, Miss," said Ling again immediately apologizing.

"No, no. Don\'t apologize. You\'re completely innocent," said Fu Xie Lan, then squatted down and matched Ling\'s height.

"So your name is Ling?" asked Fu Xie Lan again to confirm.

"That\'s right, Miss."

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