REBIRTH OF THE QUEEN

Stunned, confused. That was the first thing the guards felt when they saw Gu Yi.

Hadn't the man previously wanted to take away the man he called his wife? Then why now...

Gu Yi without a word lay down right next to Fu Xie Lan.

The two guards stared back. What happened? What caused the drastic change in the man's demeanor?

"Forget what happened earlier, and act, as usual, otherwise you will understand the consequences very well," said Gu Yi turning his body, raising his hand to support his head, looking at the face of Fu Xie Lan who was lying on his back.

"W-well, Master."

"Oh yeah, one more thing, I don't want what's going on here to be known by anyone else," he added.

The two guards nodded in agreement.

"You guys just stand guard outside, I'll take care of them," said Gu Yi, his free hand caressing Fu Xie Lan's hair regardless of the guards' expressions.

"B-but Master...."

"Already, trust me. I will not take her away," said Gu Yi again reassuring them. His demeanor which was so different from a few minutes ago did not cease to make the guards continue to wonder.

"Alright, Master," said the two guards almost at the same time then walked out.

After a few seconds, Wan Lie and Xue Ning appeared and immediately approached Gu Yi and Fu Xie Lan with relieved expressions.

Before that, Wan Lie had lost track of his father. But then managed to find him again when he heard people talking who said that the two survivors of the explosion were placed in a shop across the street from Noelle. The place was indeed very close to the scene, but the crowds of people who filled the place made him a little difficult.

"How is Xie Lan doing?" Wan Lie asked when he was right beside them.

"Sshhh." Gu Yi's index finger moved to touch his lips gesturing for those who were there not to make a sound.

"Don't make a fuss, she's in shock, and she's still unconscious."

"You guys better find Huang Bao, I'll take care of this girl," he added later.

"Alright. We'll go first," said Wan Lie

"It's true right dear?" he whispered sensually in Fu Xie Lan's ear when Wan Lie and Xue Ning had already turned to leave the room.

# Flashback On (Moments before the explosion.)

"Use your magic to burn this place down if you want to survive," threatened Fu Xie Lan.

The girl then tore off the hem of her shirt and covered her face again. The wound created by the two wizards earlier on her cheek had completely closed.

"Wait," shouted Ju Xian breathlessly and managed to stop Fu Xie Lan.

Fu Xie Lan turned around and found the man crying, looking very frightened.

"W-what should I do?" Ju Xian stuttered.

Fu Xie Lan who saw the man's response sighed harshly, she then moved very quickly and hit Ju Xian's head hard and managed to knock him unconscious.

Then she dragged the man's body and leaned him against the still closed door.

She decided she would do everything herself quickly. For her, expecting people who are in fear to do something is another way to achieve failure.

.

.

The tendrils and roots of the vines that had been lying previously on the floor, moved quickly to collect all the scattered corpses, Fu Xie Lan then piled them up into a mountain.

Don't forget to replace her torn robe with a wizard robe that is still intact.

Fu Xie Lan once again checked the room, just in case anything was missed.

After she felt that everything was perfect, she forcibly dragged Ju Xian out of the room.

Fu Xie Lan then walked quickly, opened the door of the room by supporting the man's body.

Luckily Ju Xian wasn't that tall so she didn't have too much trouble carrying it. The atmosphere outside is still the same. Not so crowded, passersby didn't seem aware of what was going on in the room, everyone seemed to be busy with their own business.

One step outside the room, the very second the place exploded and burst into flames.

The sound of the explosion wasn't too big, but the aftermath was enough to scorch a building without any residue.

The people around Noelle suddenly fall, some were thrown. Including Fu Xie Lan and Ju Xian.

However, several guards appeared and caught the girl's body who almost hitting the ground with lightning-fast movements.

Ju Xian also the same experience, while Hao's whereabouts were unknown. It seemed, the creature was also blown away and separated from Fu Xie Lan.

After a few minutes, the place had become the center of attention.

Several guards who seemed to want to enter and inspect were blocked by the enormous flames.

Tried to put out the fire but to no avail. Everyone watching just stared blankly without any intention of helping.

It's not that they don't want to help put out the fire, it's just that their strength at that location is very small and can't even help at all.

.

.

.

Now Fu Xie Lan was lying on her back in a shop owner's room across from Noelle's street, pretending to be unconscious. Even though her eyes were tightly shut, she still tried to assess the situation in her surroundings. She didn't dare to move because a guard seemed to be standing right beside her.

"Quickly find some of the mermaid races in this town," a voice reached the girl's ears.

If her guess is correct, they haven't been able to extinguish the fire, proven by them looking for a mermaid race that is famous for having the power to control water.

Maybe it was a bit of luck since there were no mermaid races in the vicinity.

Fu Xie Lan, that girl didn't do everything without careful calculation.

The explosion from that place didn't come from magic or her fairy powers, but a bomb she created very quickly. Not to mention that there were no mermaid races around Noelle that entered her view when activating her eye powers, there was also no wizard race other than him and Ju Xian, and that added to the perfection of her plan.

Don't forget who she is, she was the best agent in her previous life, Bombs and all kinds of things are normal for her, even become her toys when she was a child.

Previously when she explored Noelle's kitchen, she found various kinds of ingredients that when mixed can create an explosion and destroy something, Armed with experience and knowledge, she assembles makeshift bombs with the fastest movement possible.

She didn't use magic or her fairy powers, because the mana in her body was draining a lot. Using different Mana simultaneously made her body weaken slightly. Maybe because it was her first time and that she wasn't used to it.

Fu Xie Lan did this to erase her traces, blowing up that place when she was just a step away from Noelle's door than getting thrown off and then pretending to be unconscious was also part of her plan.

Doesn't that mean she who is a suspect turns into a victim?

Suddenly someone entered the room where the girl was with hurried steps.

Just hearing from his voice, Fu Xie Lan could already guess who the owner was.

That man is Gu Yi.
