"Okay, if you want it why not?" said Wan Lie following her mother's steps.
***
Suddenly, unexpected things happened again. Fu Xie Lan who felt that her condition had improved suddenly fell to her seat on the floor in front of her room, she winced in pain, her body was enveloped in searing heat, the seals on her body reacted again.
Wan Lie panicked watching his mother, the books he was carrying fell scattered on the floor. He immediately ran to his mother who was moaning in pain. Wan Lie stretched out his hand and tried to transmit the mana inside his body to drown out the pain caused by the seal that was starting to fill his mother's body.
One second...
Two seconds ...
Three seconds ...
It didn't work, his efforts were fruitless. His mother is still in pain. The sweat-filled Fu Xie Lan's face had turned pale, making Wan Lie want to scream out in frustration.
No, the mother needed bigger mana to relieve the pain. A few seconds he was fighting with his thoughts, he did not want to leave his mother when she was in pain like this, but circumstances forced him to immediately move for help. Elder Huang Bao and Elder Chen, at least those were the only people he had in mind right now.
Without delay, he immediately left. Panicked, afraid, and worried, he left Fu Xie Lan after carrying her body to a more comfortable bed.
Fu Xie Lan, who was left alone, was curled up in pain, one hand clenched tightly and the other gripping the pillow. Unconsciously she bit her lip until it bled because of the pain.
The heat that filled her body continued to increase making her think that in a few seconds her body might burst, her sweat was pouring out, her breath was gasping and very weak, her consciousness was starting to fade, but she could still hold on to it. She didn't want to die, she had to endure.

Suddenly she felt someone's presence.
"Wa-Wan Lie, help," finally she managed to make a voice even though it was only a whisper after enduring the pain, her vision that began to blur could no longer see the figure who was now walking towards her.
Fu Xie Lan tried to touch the figure's arm to endure the pain but ended up with a grip, then tugged at the man's gray hair which was dangling from the excruciating pain, the man was shocked. A little happiness radiated from his heart because the woman touched him, yes, even though the action cannot be categorized as touching.
"Calm down, now I am here, Queen," said the man in a whisper.
Instantly a large amount of mana enveloped Fu Xie Lan's body, slowly but surely the seal faded away and Fu Xie Lan's plain skin appeared. But before that happened, the man did not forget to put up a barrier so that the large amount of mana he took out was not known by others.
Fu Xie Lan felt the changes in her body, the pain was lessened, the heat that was previously like burning her body was now slowly becoming cool, like someone who wanders in the desert suddenly gets a very large source of water. Very comfortable and it made her eyes closed enjoying the change. As a result of her body is very tired and her energy drained due to the pain her body, she felt tremendous sleepiness, without opening her eyes she tried to whisper her gratitude again to the figure she thought was Wan Lie.
"Thank you, Wan Lie," and fell asleep.
"It seems that other men are trying to take my place in my woman's heart," the man grinned and then dug something from his trouser pocket, a necklace with a very beautiful ruby pendant.

"This necklace will protect you temporarily from the pain of the seal on your body." The man then placed the necklace around Fu Xie Lan's neck with great care.
"A little more Queen, until the two of them find the black magician's hideout, I can't wait to destroy them and reunite with you again," he said looking sadly while occasionally rubbing Fu Xie Lan's cheeks gently.
"Be patient Queen, I will try to keep you and find a way so that the seal on your body can be lost," he said again.
Before leaving the room, he kissed Fu Xie Lan's forehead for a very long time, even though it was tight and unwilling, he had to stay away and keep his distance from his queen. All this he did for the safety of his queen.
.
.
A few seconds after the man's departure, Wan Lie, Huang Bao, and Elder Chen entered the room with hasty steps.
Witnessing that his mother was in a normal state and was no longer in pain, made Wan Lie's knees weak and unable to support his body anymore, he fell to the floor without realizing it, sighed with relief because finally, his mother was fine again.
"Young master, what happened?"
Hearing the question that came from Elder Huang Bao, Wan Lie was silent, sitting still, staring at Fu Xie Lan. He no longer cared about the old man's call to himself, Wan Lie had repeatedly reminded them not to call him young master but the old man still did it often.
"Son, what can we do for you?" asked Elder Chen, confused. Just a moment ago, Lord Gu Yi's son panicked like a possessed man with a worried expression on his face. Huang Bao also had the same thought, at this time they could not find a common thread for the young man's actions.
"Uncle, is there a way for the seal on my mother's body to disappear?" Wan Lie started to make his voice, staring at the two old men alternately with bad expressions, because of his chaotic feelings that he forgot that what he said made the two elders experience deep confusion.
"Your mother? But ..."
"Ah, I mean this girl, Fu Xie Lan. Is there a way to remove the seal on her body, Uncle?" Cut Wan Lie immediately as he realized his mistake.
The youth's gaze made the two elders feel unwell. Because the son of Lord Gu Yi was looking at them with a look like he was asking for help, while they didn't know what to do, making the two of them stare at each other in frustration.
"Son, what do you mean? Has the seal returned ...."
"That's right uncle, a moment ago the seal reacted again on the girl's body," said Wan Lie.
"But how come?" The two elders shifted their gaze to the figure of Fu Xie Lan who was sleeping as if nothing had ever happened to her.

Haven in a Dangerous World (Old)
Devin McMullen. Female. 18. Single dad. Dead mom. Good in fights and little else. No friends. Or, at least, that's what she's always been. Now, she's not sure exactly what she is. She's never been one for reading fiction, or anything for that matter, but this feels like something straight out of a fantasy. Her newly acquired instincts, however, scream dungeon core. Whatever that is. Unlike most dungeon cores, though, she's missing something very important. A dungeon. Stuck out in the open, above ground where she's definitely not supposed to be, with not a cave in sight, or any other land form besides miles and miles of ice and snow, Devin's not sure if she can survive. Update: Big caveate, though, just so you know. Started with this one idea and ran with it as far as I could. Characters and plot suffer from it, but I'm proud that I wrote as much as I did. I will rewrite this at some point and make it so it actually has plot. Check out my wordpress © [koallary] and [Haven in a Dangerous World], [2017].
